Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 The First Exposer — Sakura Chiyo

Especially the short stories in Chinese class, Qianshu Lian smiled knowingly and raised his hand at Sakura Megumi's call.

Thus, Qianshu Lian smoothly got this job, and of course, it wasn't just Qianshu Lian; there were also some other classmates.

Qianshu Lian even saw the figure of another small girl; this wasn't Qianshu Lian comparing her to his own height.

Mainly, the other party was indeed only about 1.4 meters tall, and to Qianshu Lian, no matter how he looked at it, she couldn't appear tall.

"Oh, it's Chiyo. I remember you were planning to apply to Romantic Academy High School, weren't you?" Qianshu Lian greeted her very naturally.

He was not unfamiliar with the other party; in fact, she was also a female protagonist from an anime, and a friend from the same school as him.

However, they couldn't be considered childhood sweethearts because they only met in junior high, at most old classmates.

Although he didn't know why, Qianshu Lian noticed that after he greeted her, Sakura Chiyo seemed to freeze for a moment before stiffly turning her head to look at him.

"Is, is Mr. Chisaki Ren in the same class as me?" Sakura Chiyo said, using both her hands and feet to quickly move a few steps to Qianshu Lian's side.

Qianshu Lian narrowed his eyes, gazing at Sakura Chiyo beside him, seemingly able to see drops of cold sweat on her smooth, pristine forehead.

This reaction is not right!

"Ah haha~" After a few seconds of pause upon reaching Qianshu Lian's side, Sakura Chiyo seemed to remember something and spoke with a forced laugh.

"I was originally planning to enter Romantic Academy High School, but in the end, I found that many classmates were admitted to Soubu High School, so I decided to enter this high school with more classmates!"

Sakura Chiyo's words made Qianshu Lian a tiny bit skeptical, but in the end, Qianshu Lian didn't delve deeper.

After all, although the two had known each other and could be called friends since junior high, their actual communication was still limited.

Topics like choosing a school were not for them to discuss. Qianshu Lian turned his head and walked beside Sakura Chiyo.

"Why did Mr. Chisaki Ren choose to attend Soubu High School? I also remember that Mr. Chisaki Ren's previous choice didn't seem to be Soubu High School."

It seemed like she was trying to find a topic. After Qianshu Lian didn't continue to probe, Sakura Chiyo instead asked why Qianshu Lian chose Soubu High School.

"Me? The reason I chose Soubu High School was to go with the flow~" Qianshu Lian moved his arm and continued.

"I don't have a strong desire to choose a particular school, so when Soubu High School showed more willingness to admit me, I naturally chose it!"

Sakura Chiyo had nothing to say now. She was forcing herself to find a topic just now, but now she really couldn't find one.

Sakura Chiyo also understood that this question of hers, once asked, would basically get this answer.

After all, this matter had been written in Qianshu Lian's diary before.

That's right, Sakura Chiyo also had a copy of Qianshu Lian's diary. The time she obtained the diary copy wasn't too long ago.

It was probably during the period from elementary school to junior high, which is why she chose to enter the junior high school that Qianshu Lian entered.

After all, the distance from her to Qianshu Lian's junior high school wasn't far, so with an intention, she would naturally choose what interested her.

However, after these few years of getting along, besides their usual interactions, she could also understand the other person's inner thoughts from his diary.

These had a considerable impact on Sakura Chiyo, as Sakura Chiyo herself was someone with a very rich inner world.

Sometimes, she could appear silent on the outside, but internally, she would be so awkward she wanted to stomp her feet, or so shy she wanted to cover her face.

And Qianshu Lian, who had some understanding of this, also very naturally turned his head. The richness of his old classmate's inner world was simply beyond words.

Before, he only understood her image from anime, but ever since he started interacting with this girl in junior high.

"Speaking of which, I still have some cheesecake in my bag that I brought this morning. I remember you, Chiyo, really like it. You can take it and eat it when we go back~"

Qianshu Lian changed his tone and word choice, directly pulling Sakura Chiyo, who was in a mental storm, back to reality.

"Ch-Chiyo?!"

Sakura Chiyo was so embarrassed she wanted to stomp her feet, but she also seemed to be particularly mindful of her image, especially in front of Qianshu Lian.

Fortunately, a moment later, Sakura Chiyo remembered the cheesecake Qianshu Lian brought, which seemed to be her favorite food.

"Mr. Chisaki Ren remembered my favorite pastry? That's so embarrassing!"

"Isn't that a very simple thing? With my memory, it's not difficult at all to remember what my friends around me like to eat and their various hobbies!"

Qianshu Lian said, shaking his head. He didn't think this was anything embarrassing, but he also understood the girl's personality, so he naturally wouldn't care too much.

Hearing Qianshu Lian's words, Sakura Chiyo, who had just been shy and blushing, suddenly turned completely ashen.

Sakura Chiyo's emotional intelligence was not low, so she clearly understood that Qianshu Lian was not unaware of her emotional fluctuations.

Rather, it seemed that Qianshu Lian was limited by his preconceived notions from the plot, leading to a lower ability to notice certain changes.

Or, to put it more bluntly, it should be that Qianshu Lian never thought that she would fall for him so quickly, right?

"What's wrong, Chiyo? We're almost there, hurry up and catch up!" Just as Sakura Chiyo was momentarily dazed, Qianshu Lian, who had already taken a few steps forward beside her, turned his head and called out.

Sakura Chiyo sighed and quickly recovered her energetic demeanor. What was there to be sad about? Hadn't she already known?

Because of some information she received from Qianshu Lian, she had even specifically gone to see Nozaki Umetarou, who hadn't grown up yet, back then.

Although she didn't understand why she would like him in the future, his personality was indeed quite reliable.

But the current Sakura Chiyo was no longer the Sakura Chiyo in Qianshu Lian's memory!

I like Qianshu Lian!

Secretly giving herself a pep talk, Qianshu Lian wouldn't be like Nozaki; her own brand should be fine, right?

Sakura Chiyo, who had forcefully cheered herself up, nodded confidently and quickly caught up with the main group.

"Sakura Chiyo? You really do have a diary copy, don't you?"

Not far behind the line for collecting books, Yukino Yukinoshita gazed at Sakura Chiyo's back.
