[Net King] Winter Snow

"You mean, it's almost Christmas, right?" Chu Liangxue said, putting the ballpoint pen on her pursed mouth to maintain balance.

"It's only December." Yuriko Uemura pressed down on the left side of the ballpoint pen with her hand, and the unstable pen fell on the table along the place where the girl pressed down.

"But speaking of it, it feels colder this year than last year." Ignoring the dropped pen, Chu Liangxue took a deep breath and rubbed her hands together.

"It seems to be the coldest winter in recent years." Following the other person's words, Yuriko Uemura sneezed from the cold before she could hide her hands in her scarf to keep warm, "Ah!"

"Here." Suddenly a hand appeared in front of the girl with two ponytails. Yuriko Uemura looked up and saw Yoshihei Harada smiling, "Hot cocoa, warm your hands." The girl looked at the canned cocoa in front of her, feeling a little uncomfortable He was too embarrassed to accept it, but Yoshihei Harada seemed to have not noticed it at all, and put another can in his hand in front of Chu Liangxue, "This can is yours, Chu Liang."

"Huh...?" The young girl lying on the table was surprised for a few seconds, scratched her cheek with her index finger and said, "I feel a little embarrassed."

"I happened to go to the welfare agency to buy something, I just brought it for you." Harada Yoshihei shrugged and sat down in his seat.

"Then... Anyway, thank you." Yuriko Uemura hesitated for a while, looked at each other with Chu Liangxue, and finally accepted it.

The air in the classroom was still a bit cold as usual, clutching the pot of hot cocoa, the two girls continued to chat without saying a word.Until the end of the lunch break, Nioh Masaharu did not come to the classroom to look for Chu Liangxue. Regarding this point, Yuriko Uemura laughed and joked that the two of them had finally passed the honeymoon period, but Chu Liangxue's eyes were slightly lonely.

There are always more things at the end of the semester than ever before. Yuriko Uemura is drawing circles on the paper with her chin in one hand. The plan that was originally written in black and white was highlighted by the girl with colored pens, and she made countless small prints on the side. annotation.

Looking at the girl who was obviously bored but still had to cheer up and read the plan, Yoshihei Harada couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Attracted by the brown-haired boy's chuckle, Yuriko Uemura looked at the other party's flustered look, and gave him a vicious look, "Hmph! Wait until I get it done, you'll be very busy!"

"Yes, yes, Master Planning Department." Yoshihei Harada smiled, and slumped into the sofa of the student union, "Please make the plan simple and easy to understand, please spare our Propaganda Department."

Ignoring the boy, Yuriko Uemura changed to a highlighter and continued to draw on the next piece of paper.In the huge room, there was only the rustling sound of the girl scratching the paper with a pen, and the light of the setting sun outside the window gradually weakened.

"I said," Uemura Yuriko broke the silence and said, "Jiping, you go back first, I'll probably be a long time away."

"It's okay, anyway, I still have something to do." Saying that, Yoshihei Harada lit up the folder in his hand.

"That's something to be done next week, so there's no need to hurry." Frowning, Yuriko Uemura said.

"It doesn't matter if you finish it early." When the boy was talking, he saw that the girl seemed to want to say something more.Waving his hand, Yoshihei Harada rushed before Yuriko Uemura opened his mouth and said, "It's you Yuriko, if you keep procrastinating like this, it will be too late?"

"..." The girl who wanted to say something was stopped by Yoshihei Harada, so she could only pick up a pen and continue browsing the proposal.

"Yuriko, it's about half an hour away?" Seeing that the other party didn't chase him away, Harada Yoshihira smiled slightly, opened the folder and said while reading, "I'll go to the tennis club to find Hiroshi later." , Yuriko, just wait for us at the school gate."

"I remember he still hasn't finished reading the documents. Why don't we just wait for his work to be over and bring him here to read it together."

"Pfft... are you planning to go back at six or seven o'clock?" Harada Yoshihira said helplessly at Yuriko Uemura's proposal, "It will be dark by then, huh?"

"It's almost dark now, and I can go to the tonkotsu ramen to satisfy my hunger when I go back." Yuriko Uemura said without raising her head.

"But if this is the case, when we pass by the gift shop, Yuriko will accompany me to pick it up? It's almost Christmas, and I plan to give gifts to everyone before the holiday, otherwise there will be no chance to see each other when the holiday comes."

"How about giving Hiroshi a pink scarf?" Saying this, Yuriko Uemura raised her head with great interest, and smiled at Yoshihei Harada.

"Do you want him to kill me?" Shaking his head helplessly, Yoshihei Harada closed the black folder in his hand, "Well, let's not talk about it, his work should be over, I'll go find him. "

"I wish you happiness." The girl with twin ponytails had a sincere expression.

"Yuriko Uemura!" Before she could walk out of the student union office, she tripped over herself. Yoshihei Harada held his forehead and turned his head to express his tiredness to the girl.

Walking on the school road of Lihai University, the light brown-haired boy looked back in the direction of the student union office, and then smiled helplessly.He didn't know if his retreat-for-advance method was considered reckless, but if Yuriko Uemura hadn't been relieved at that time, I'm afraid that girl would always have an awkward and embarrassing attitude towards him.

It is probably the safest and safest way for him to pursue a little bit of intrusion into the life of the other party.He can show her favor unconditionally, and he can also use various excuses to attract various people, so as to create opportunities for two people to meet and get along.Even if the other party perceives something, he can use the word friendship to evade it.

——What a foolish and safe way to do it.

"What are you thinking?" Yagyu Hiroshi's words broke Harada Yoshihei's thoughts.

"Something." Shaking his head lightly, Yoshihei Harada didn't say much.

"It's Yuriko's?" Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses and said, easily seeing through what the other party was thinking.

"Well..." Harada Yoshihei just uttered a syllable without saying yes or no.

"You'd better restrain yourself. People around you will think that you are in a relationship with such an ambiguous attitude like you are doing now." Walking beside Yoshihei Harada, Hiroshi Yagyu advised.

"I just wanted others to think so, so I did this." After closing his eyes, Harada Yoshihei opened them again, his eyes filled with a certain kind of confidence.

"You obviously told her that you have given up, but you still want others to think so?"

"Everyone thinks that if Yuriko and I are in a relationship, she can't refuse, right?" Saying this, Yoshihira Harada chuckled.

"Your semi-forced approach will only annoy her."

"What if it succeeds?" Harada Jihei paused, as if remembering something, with a calm tone, "Yuriko cares a lot about what other people think of her, very much."

Yagyu Hiroshi glanced at Yoshihei Harada with a complicated expression, then fell silent and did not continue to say anything.It's not that he doesn't understand the words of the young man beside him. Since that incident, Yuriko Uemura has cared more about how others think of her than anyone else.

But taking advantage of this weakness of the girl, the people around them mistakenly think that they are in a relationship, and thus semi-forced Uemura Yuriko to associate with herself.Whether this can really make the girl gradually fall in love with Yoshihei Harada, or whether it will turn into another awkward situation between the two, Yagyu Hiroshi doesn't know, and doesn't want to speculate.

"It's so slow... I said I wish you happiness, and you really go to love me?" As soon as the door of the student union was pushed open, Yuriko Uemura's weak voice came from inside.

"Is that because the tennis club is far from here?" Seeing Yuriko Uemura puffing up her cheeks amusedly, Yoshihei Harada was quite helpless.

"Isn't Hilushi planning to justify a few words?" Yuriko Uemura asked, looking at another boy who was also standing at the door.

"If you don't hand over the plan to the Propaganda Department today, you'll be busy until then." Ignoring the girl's words, the lens of Yagyu Hiroshi's glasses reflected light, and his eyes fell directly on Yuriko Uemura on planning materials.

"Cut..." Glancing guiltily, the girl stopped teasing, but lowered her head and continued to read.

In the end, Yuriko Uemura finally stepped on the deadline and threw the completed folder to Yoshihei Harada. The three people who finished the work at hand packed up their things one after another and left from the student union office.The sky outside has become dark to black, some stars are dotted on the cold night sky, and the biting wind unexpectedly makes people feel cool and transparent.

Saying goodbye to Yagyu Hiroshi at the intersection of the third street, Harada Yoshihei pointed to the gift shop not far away, motioning for the girl to go there together.The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the store made Uemura Yuriko a little uncomfortable. She took off the blue scarf tied around her neck, and the girl calmed down.

"What is the right one to buy?" Harada Yoshihei was troubled after looking around in the gift shop.

"Hats or gloves?" Yuriko Uemura pointed her chin with her index finger and thought, "After all, it seems inappropriate to give a scarf."

"It looks like a gift from a couple." After receiving the girl's words, Yoshihei Harada walked towards the scarf.

"Yeah, so I think hats and gloves are better... Wait? Jiping, what are you doing with a scarf!" Only then did Yuriko Uemura look surprised when she saw what the other party was holding.

"Which Yuriko likes, blue or pink?" Harada Yoshihei asked after weighing the two in his hand.

"Pink, I have one in blue." He replied without thinking about it, and when he finished speaking, Yuriko Uemura hurriedly waved her hand, "Wait, what's wrong!"

"The blue one is better for Bilu Shi, and the other students can give hats or gloves." Harada Yoshihei said, rubbing Uemura Yuriko's head, "After all, you two are more important, if you are the same as others, It always feels kind of weird.”

"...Then I'll give you a scarf too. What color do you like, Ji Ping?" Feeling helpless to the boy with light brown hair, the girl wanted to refute something but couldn't find a flaw, so she could only complied and gave her a scarf as a gift.

"Blue?" After thinking for a while, Harada Yoshihei raised the blue one in his hand and said.

"But isn't the one you gave Bilushi also blue, isn't it a color contrast?"

"Give him the brown one." Almost without any hesitation, Harada Yoshihei stuffed the blue scarf in his hand to Uemura Yuriko, and then picked up a brown one and hung it on his hand.

"It's so casual...it feels like Lu Shi is about to cry." Stroking her forehead, the girl couldn't help but shed tears for the boy Liu Sheng, "I'll give Chu Liang another white one here... well, it's almost there. "

"Where's Billy Che?"

"You already gave him a scarf, so I can only give him something else. I don't necessarily want him to bring two." Shrugging, Yuriko Uemura said.

Regarding the girl's words, Yuan Tianjiping just smiled and didn't say anything more.After taking about a dozen hats and gloves, the light brown-haired boy settled the bill for Yuriko Uemura.The girl who was looking at the crystal bear in the store one second, her eyes widened the next second, shaking her head while returning the money to Yoshihei Harada.But the young man was evasive and refused to accept it, and finally smiled and said, "Then Yuriko will treat me to tonkotsu ramen next time."

When they arrived at the classroom the next day, some people had already taken out the wrapped gift bags and exchanged presents.There are only a few days before the holiday, and many students who could not see each other during the holiday sent blessings in advance.

Chu Liangxue paused for a while when receiving the gift, and asked Uemura Yuriko softly, "What Yuriko gave Harada was also a scarf?" The girl nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly, "After all, he gave Harada a scarf?" Mine is also a scarf, so I feel weird not sending something back."

At this time, Uemura Yuriko still didn't know the deep meaning of Chu Liangxue's words, and she didn't know that everyone had a strange misunderstanding about the relationship between her and Harada Yoshihei.
