Chapter 101 The Invitation of the Second Palace
Chapter 101 Shinomiya's Invitation
On Tuesday, Natsuo, Suo Yuki, and Shiina Mahiru went to school together.
Shiina Mahiru and Suo Yuki were not familiar with each other, so the two of them accompanied Natsuo on either side.
Along the way, Xia Sheng received many envious and jealous glances.
Shiina Mahiru was already quite famous, and Suo Yuki was equally famous as a representative of the new students.
Accompanied by two famous and lovely girls, no male student could help but feel envious.
He encountered many students on the way, and Xia Sheng didn't even need to think about how famous he would become today.
He hadn't expected Shiina Mahiru to come to school with him.
When they finished their morning run, Shiina Mahiru asked him if he would go to school with Suo Yuki.
Suo Yuki said she wanted to go to school with him, and he answered truthfully.
Then Shiina Mahiru said she wanted to go to school with them too.
Having beautiful women by his side is a wonderful thing, but Xia Sheng didn't say a word to them the whole way.
He sensed that something was off about the atmosphere and decided not to start a conversation, so the three of them went to school in silence.
At the school gate, there stood an unbelievable person. She was slender and beautiful, but she exuded a cold aura that made people afraid to look at her directly.
"That's... President Shinomiya, right?" Suoh Yuki asked in surprise.
"Is she on guard duty?"
"It seems so." Xia Sheng looked at the cold girl and nodded.
"Natsuo, your tie is crooked," Shiina Mahiru suddenly reminded him.
"Yeah?"
"President Shinomiya is probably checking his appearance... Let me help you." Shiina Mahiru said, standing in front of him and straightening his tie.
At Jingxiu Wenwu High School, boys are required to wear ties, while girls wear bow ties.
The colors for the three grades are also different: red, yellow, and blue for first grade, third grade, respectively.
Xia Sheng thought the boy's tie was a bit ugly, but the girl's bow tie was quite suitable.
Natsumi lowered his head, watching Shiina Mahiru intently adjusting his tie, his mind racing.
Girlfriend, maybe that's what it feels like.
To be honest, Shiina Mahiru hasn't responded to his confession yet.
However, she hasn't adjusted her mindset yet and is unable to respond.
Of course, Xia Sheng didn't want her to respond either; yesterday was just a coincidence.
It wasn't that he was afraid that dating Shiina Mahiru would affect his interactions with other people, but rather that given their current situation, it wasn't suitable for them to date. After all, for the safety of Yukino and the others, he had to engage in intimate behavior with them.
If Shiina Mahiru became his girlfriend, would he accept it?
It's best to keep things as they are.
Shiina Mahiru quickly helped Natsuo tidy up and stood back beside him, her face calm, as if she hadn't done anything at all.
"Shiina-senpai and her cousin are so affectionate so early in the morning," Suoh Yuki sighed softly.
When she is with Shiina Mahiru, she will regain her poise as a young lady from a wealthy family.
"We weren't showing off our relationship; it was just normal behavior between friends," Shiina Mahiru denied casually.
"I see. It seems my cousin still has a lot to work on."
"You talk too much. Let's go in." Xia Sheng glared at her and led the way toward the school gate.
The three of them together attracted the attention of many students at the entrance.
Shiina Mahiru is quite famous.
Also noticing them was the cold-looking girl standing at the door.
"Natsu-kun, Shiina-kun, Suoh-kun, please wait a moment."
When Natsumi and the others arrived at the door, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly called out to them.
She was polite in her manners, but her voice was cold and devoid of emotion.
The three stopped, and Natsumi looked at her with a puzzled expression: "President Shinomiya, is there something you need?"
"Here's the thing, could you come to the student council room during the long break?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked the three of them softly.
"To the student council room?"
"Yes, the student council is short-staffed right now, and I hope you can join the student council," Kaguya Shinomiya explained.
"We're joining the student council?" Xia Sheng frowned, looking at her with confusion.
"Could you explain why?"
"You are all in the top three of your grade. The student council needs talents like you," Kaguya Shinomiya stated truthfully.
"Three grades?"
"Just first or second grade."
"so.
"Cousin, what are you planning to do?" Suoh Yuki asked him.
"Do you have any thoughts about joining the student council?" Natsumi asked, looking at her.
"I need to join." Suoh Yuki nodded with a serious expression.
"Alright, we'll go take a look then." Xia Sheng replied to Shinomiya Kaguya without asking any further questions.
"That's good." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded calmly.
"Let's go."
Xia Sheng didn't intend to linger and entered the school with the two of them.
"Aren't you going to say something?" Shiina Mahiru asked, slightly annoyed.
"Aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"
"Of course you'll be with me, so I don't need to ask you," Xia Li replied matter-of-factly.
"When did you say that?"
"So, do you want to break up with me?" Xia Xiasheng asked, smiling at her.
"...So domineering." Shiina Mahiru turned her head away, a smile playing on her lips.
"Cousin, are you two really not just flirting?" Suoh Yuki couldn't help but ask.
The atmosphere between the two was practically shrouded in pink smoke.
"Don't talk nonsense about flirting. That's just how friends are."
Suoh Yuki pursed her lips and remained silent; she definitely didn't believe that.
It's a pity she has to maintain a certain image in public, otherwise she could have just asked her in a cute way to find out the truth.
The three arrived at the teaching building, changed into indoor shoes at the shoe-changing area, and walked together towards the classroom.
Yuki Suo is a first-year student. She and Natsuo parted ways at the stairwell and went to the classroom alone.
Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru continued upstairs.
There was nothing upstairs or downstairs. Xia Sheng glanced at Shiina Mahiru, who seemed to be in a good mood, reached out, and took her hand.
"Natsuo?" Shiina Mahiru was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at him.
"Is there a problem?" Xia Li asked confidently, while squeezing her hand tightly.
"Playing dirty tricks..." Shiina Mahiru pouted, but didn't shake off his hand.
"I was just trying to keep you from falling because I saw you were spacing out, you know?" Xia Sheng made up an excuse.
Shiina Mahiru looked at him with amusement and shook her head.
Who would believe that excuse? He's clearly just trying to take advantage of her.
However, being held in a large hand and having her hand warmly enveloped, the warmth seemed to reach her heart, easing her emptiness considerably.
To become someone important to her...
Once they reached the second floor, Natsumi released Shiina Mahiru's hand. There were quite a few people walking around on this floor.
However, he did not separate from her.
The two continued to walk side by side.
Perhaps it was the second day of school, but early in the morning, quite a few people arrived, with many students in each class.
They captured the scene of Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru walking together.
Some people doubted their eyes, while others, unable to believe it, rushed out of the classroom.
"That's... an angel? And who's the boy next to her?"
"I think I vaguely remember..."
77
"I remember now! Isn't he the boy who was walking with Yukinoshita last school year?"
"It's him!"
"Then why is he walking with the angels...?"
"Damn! I'm so envious!"
"Impossible! It must be fake, it must be a coincidence, and then this guy shamelessly followed the angel!"
"But they were very close, and the angel was watching him."
Natsumi arrived at the classroom first, separating from Shiina Mahiru before entering.
Several people arrived before him.
"Good morning, class monitor."
"Hmm? Hmm, good morning."
When he was greeted, Xia Sheng remembered that he was the class monitor.
Yui and the others hadn't arrived yet. As soon as Natsuo sat down, several boys gathered around him.
"Class monitor, can we ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"What's your relationship with the angels?"
They naturally saw Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru walking together.
"Me and Mahiru... guess what?" Natsumi laughed, keeping everyone in suspense as he asked.
"They actually called me by my first name!"
"Could it be that..."
"Class monitor, is it true?"
"Haha, just kidding. Mahiru and I are just friends."
"Phew—they're just friends, they scared us to death."
