Chapter 378 Trying to please Hayakawa

"You've arrived really early."

Hayakawa put her luggage in the corner of the room, then took off her coat and hung it in the closet. Turning around, she saw that Minami Aizawa and Doma Umaru were still staring at her blankly. She frowned in confusion and asked, "Why are you two staring at me like that?"

"Ah...no,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was startled, but immediately realized what was happening and quickly said something.

She then gave a look to Umaru, who was still in a daze, signaling her not to reveal anything. After that, she stood up and gracefully walked to Hayakawa's side, gently poured him a glass of water, and then said softly, "Why are you back so early, junior?"

As she spoke, she placed the water glass in Hayakawa's hand and then came behind him to gently massage his shoulders.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa felt the touch on his shoulder and looked at Ayame Kominami's ingratiating smile. He felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you, senpai?"

This is bad; going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

"nothing much."

Minami Aizami left Hayakawa as if nothing had happened, then gave Umaru a look, signaling her to stop staring blankly.

Umaru quickly concealed her worried expression, hurriedly stood up, fumbled for a moment, then gave an awkward smile with a slight twitch at the corner of her eye: "W-Welcome back."

"..."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng: "..."

Your guilty conscience is practically written all over your face!

Xiao Mei was extremely anxious. Seeing that Hayakawa's expression was becoming increasingly strange and his brows were furrowing more and more, she quickly grabbed a bag of potato chips from the table, opened it, and said, "By the way, junior, you must have been hungry when you came here. These potato chips taste really good."

"……Oh."

Hayakawa responded and took the potato chips.

"And...and my Coke,"

Seeing this, Umaru hurriedly picked up a can of cola and handed it to Hayakawa: "Please have some!"

Hayakawa silently took the bottle, first looking at the cola in his left hand, then at the potato chips in his right, and finally at the two girls in front of him with their eager and ingratiating expressions. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Did I receive such good treatment before?

Something just doesn't seem right.

Hayakawa's expression grew increasingly suspicious as his gaze swept between the two of them. He said in a low voice, "You two...did you do something to betray me?"

Xiaomai's expression immediately changed drastically, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "How...how could that be! Don't joke like that."

The girl's flustered behavior drew Hayakawa's attention even more, causing his gaze to sharpen. Minami Aizawa, unable to tolerate her incompetent teammate any longer, quickly changed the subject, saying, "You went to Hokkaido for a few days, did you study hard? Will it affect your schooling later?"

"Don't worry, I'll get back to normal soon and won't be affected at all."

Upon noticing the element, Hayakawa immediately forgot his suspicions and calmly responded with a confident tone.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Aimi quickly chimed in, and Umaru next to her also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Click"

Hayakawa silently took a bite of potato chips, rushed to catch his flight, and then took the train home. He didn't eat anything along the way, and now he was actually a little hungry, but he still wouldn't touch his cola.

As for the computer that was always on the table in front of him, Hayakawa didn't even glance at it from beginning to end, completely ignoring its existence.

Xiao Meilang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and revealed a slight smile.

She knew Hayakawa wouldn't pay attention to the computer. He probably forgot that he lent it to the two girls before going to Hokkaido. He probably wouldn't touch it again unless he needed it for studying. After all, the computer was practically covered in dust when she first saw it.

Therefore, there is still plenty of time to cover up the accident or to appease Hayakawa.

Thinking of this, Xiaomei Lang Aicheng's smile became even more genuine.

"..."

Hayakawa shivered, a strange sense of crisis creeping into his heart.

I have a bad feeling about this.

……

When Hayakawa returned home, Umaru became restless and quickly made an excuse to go home so her brother wouldn't worry. After all, she had something to hide and her eyes started to wander whenever she saw Hayakawa. If they spent more time together, her unease would definitely be noticed. On the other hand, Minami Azumi was much more shameless and simply stayed at home, eating and drinking as usual.

Seeing that she had finished all the snacks, Hayakawa expressionlessly went to get a few more bags, then took two bottles of chilled matcha soda from the refrigerator and placed them on the table in front of her, without saying a word in between.

Previously, Hayakawa's family never had these things. The computer desktop was very clean, with no entertainment or extra software, only the function of searching for information online. There were no snacks at home, and even the only drinks were water and strong coffee. The only food that could be considered a regular supply was bread, which was used to fill the stomach and replenish the brain's nutrients late at night.

Xiao Meilang Aicheng took a bite of that bread and then spat it out. She described it as "like eating a piece of wood that had been soaked in water." She couldn't understand why such food could still be found in supermarkets.

But Hayakawa still keeps some at home.

However, that's no longer the case. Ever since Aizumi Ominami appeared at his house and started visiting frequently, the bread for filling her stomach has completely disappeared. Instead, all sorts of snacks and drinks have been provided for her enjoyment, and the number of snacks has been increasing because Ogata Furuhashi, Umaru, and others have been coming to eat them.

Now, Hayakawa has no idea when she developed the habit of always having snacks on hand.

Perhaps this is what they call moral decay; it's truly hard to avoid.

"click click"

Hayakawa remained expressionless, mechanically stuffing potato chips into his mouth with a crisp sound, while Minami Aizawa sat on the sofa next to him, her hands on her knees, carefully examining her previously painted nail polish in the sunlight.

"Does it look good?"

Komi Aizami looked at it for a long time and thought it was beautiful, but it was just her own opinion, so she didn't really have confidence in it. After thinking for a while, she stretched out both hands to Hayakawa next to her and asked for his opinion.

Hayakawa stared intently and saw that the loli girl's delicate, fair hands, which were originally pinkish-white like cardamom, were now painted with a bright purple color. The color was very light and not glaring, somewhat similar to her hair. The crystal clear nails reflected a different color, exuding a touch of allure.

"..."

Hayakawa raised his head blankly, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his mind.

Asking him about this is like asking Fumino Kojima about calculus, or asking Rizu Ogata about writing techniques.

Chapter 379 Screensaver

An undeniably foolish move.

"Cough cough..."

Aimi Nami realized she had made a foolish mistake. She coughed awkwardly and then put her hands together, trying to cover it up, saying, "Look, what's the difference between these two sides?"

Hayakawa's expression became even more wooden. What difference could there be if everyone was wearing the same color of nail polish?

"..."

Hayakawa looked at Mimi Nami in silence for a long time, then said expressionlessly, "Shall we all play spot the difference?"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng casually withdrew her hand, looked at her nails again, then glanced out the window, fiddled with the remote control on the sofa, and soon her face turned red to her earlobes.

When people are in an awkward situation, they will pretend to be very busy.

Hayakawa finished his potato chips, threw away the bag, washed his hands, and then sat back down in front of Mimi.

I spent almost a week in Hokkaido and had almost no contact with Minami Aizawa. Now that I'm suddenly back, Hayakawa is somewhat...

Afraid that Xiao Meilang would miss him, he sat next to her and kept her company for a while.

"Um…"

When Xiaomei saw Hayakawa return, she naturally leaned against him, stretching out her long, white legs under her cool hot pants.

"It's already getting colder, why are you wearing so little? How are you going to get home later?"

Hayakawa glanced at it and then looked away, saying something with concern.

This glance was accurately captured by Ayame Kominami.

Hehe, the juniors are peeking!

Xiao Meilang Aicheng chuckled inwardly, but outwardly maintained an expression of complete indifference, stretching lazily and saying nonchalantly, "It's okay, your house is very warm. This is my special outfit since I arrived at your house. I'll just change my pants in my room after I leave."

How about that?

The way he naturally implies that he will change into revealing clothes when he arrives at your house, and specifically emphasizes that he will change his pants in the room later, is a subtle way of expressing that "you are special". With this kind of unintentional flirtatious seduction, how could a junior like me resist!

Xiao Meilang Aicheng laughed inwardly. This was a dating technique mentioned in a book she had recently found online called "How to Make a Boy Your Slave," which included, but was not limited to, "using homophones of H-related words in conversation to subtly increase the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of you."

When Ayame saw it, she was amazed and immediately regarded the book as her guiding principle, intending to apply it entirely to her juniors.

That's right, she's going to train Hayakawa to be her slave!

But that's for later. Right now, the important thing is to increase favorability so that we can get through the mess of the broken computer.

As Komi Nami thought to herself, she secretly observed Hayakawa's reaction by focusing her gaze on him. She noticed that Hayakawa's expression had changed significantly compared to before. A slight blush appeared on his face, and he looked a little flustered.

Hmm, I teased you with what I just said.

Xiao Mei's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly pressed her advantage by moving closer to Hayakawa. Her voice softened as she whispered, "And junior, do you really have to send me back later? Can I stay the night...?"

As she spoke, a pitiful and aggrieved look appeared on her face, as if she were the one who had been bullied.

"..."

Seeing this, Hayakawa's expression became even more uncertain. Although he did not give a direct answer, he did not refuse either.

Given Hayakawa's personality, not directly refusing meant tacit agreement.

Seeing this, Ayame Komi became even more smug.

How do you deal with a straight shot that's aimed directly at your face?

As expected, the junior was a wooden, straight man on the surface, but deep down he was just a shy boy who couldn't handle my advances at all.

Come and see for yourself the authority of a senior. The difference between a soon-to-be graduate and a nobody junior cannot be shown in just a few years!

"Ugh"

Xiao Meilang sighed pitifully on the surface, but in her heart she had already given herself a perfect score.

Such an easy junior to handle, the day he becomes a slave is just around the corner!

"By the way, junior,"

As if suddenly remembering something, Kominami Aisumi reached for Hayakawa's phone on the table, opening it as she said, "You must have taken a lot of photos when you went to Hokkaido. Let me see them."

This is also a technique mentioned in the book: naturally infiltrate the man's life, allowing him to lower his guard, and you can bring the two of you closer.

"Don't look around."

Hayakawa saw her taking his phone and quickly stopped her.

"What does it matter? They just want to see the scenery of Hokkaido."

Xiao Meilang chuckled and said a few words, then turned on her phone. She had known Hayakawa's phone password for a long time.

"I couldn't go to Hokkaido myself, and they won't even let me appreciate it from photos? That's too much of a bullying."

With a smile, Ayame Komi opened her phone: "Let me see what you took pictures of..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, and her smile froze on her face.

The reason was simple: on the screen in front of her, the screensaver was a group photo of Hayakawa Furuhashi and the other two at a shrine.

On that night when they went out to find food, the three of them strolled through the food street, ate local delicacies together, watched the fireworks that lit up the night sky over Shengjing, and finally... took a picture together in front of the shrine.

And now, that photo is on the phone screen, right in front of Ayame Komanagi.

"you…"

As if briefly deprived of her right to speak, Minami Aizami stared blankly at the photo for two seconds before coming back to her senses: "You guys even took a group photo?"

The next second, as if her eyes had been pricked by a needle, she immediately turned off her phone, making the photo disappear from her sight.

Seemingly realizing her reaction was inappropriate, Xiaomei said to cover it up, "The photos are really nice. The background looks like a shrine. It's so nice that Hokkaido has places like this. I really want to go there too."

Hayakawa silently reached out to her to take her phone back.

Xiao Meilang Aicheng quickly shoved the phone back into his hand, as if the phone, which had been working normally just moments before, had now become something burning hot.

She then sat back down without saying a word, and the room fell silent instantly, the previous merriment gone.

I should actually say something...
