While Lin Mu was lost in thought.
The classmates in the class were also chattering and gossiping.
"Hey, Yui Yuigahama, how was your part-time job these past few days?"
Miura Yumiko couldn't help but look curiously at Yui Yuigahama.
"It was alright. The manager is very easygoing and a very beautiful person."
The worst thing about working part-time is encountering a difficult boss and unreasonable, lazy colleagues.
But none of these were present at Yoko Saionji's shop.
The only one who caused trouble was also taught a lesson by Lin Mu and fired by Yoko Saionji.
And the colleagues were all very easygoing girls.
Especially Mahiru, Asada Shino, and Aoyama Nanami, who occasionally came, were all very diligent girls.
And they also took good care of Yui Yuigahama.
In short, it was very harmonious, with no workplace struggles of deception at all.
Thinking about it, it would be too absurd to have workplace bullying and struggles even as a convenience store clerk.
Hearing Yui Yuigahama's words, Miura Yumiko immediately became interested.
"It sounds very interesting, Yui Yuigahama. Does that shop still need people? I want to give it a try too."
Although working part-time wasn't suitable for a girl like her, she was also interested in social practice.
And getting paid, why not?
Facing this question, Yui Yuigahama looked at Shiina Mahiru for help.
"I don't know either. This needs to be asked to Student Shiina."
Shiina Mahiru smiled and took over the conversation, "Of course, they still need people. If you want, Yumiko, you can go and try this afternoon."
"As for me, I have other things to do, so I won't be going."
"Eh, Mahiru, you're not going?" Miura Yumiko pouted, a little disappointed.
She had wanted to work part-time with Shiina Mahiru.
"No choice, some things I have to handle myself. Yumiko, it's fine for you to go with Senxia and Yui Yuigahama. Oh, I almost forgot, Kato-san too."
Shiina Mahiru and Shiina Senxia had arranged to meet today. Senxia-nee would bring some of her belongings to her.
Also, she wanted to ask Senxia-nee what was going on with Lin Mu.
Although if she asked Lin Mu, he would definitely tell her.
But only her efforts would be effective in maintaining the harmony of this family.
This is the advantage of being cute and excellent.
Someone as excellent as me, Shiina Mahiru, an angelic girl, is willing to accept you and stay by Mu-kun's side with you. What else could you be unwilling about?
Seeing that Shiina Mahiru really had something to do, Miura Yumiko stopped talking and instead chattered with Yui Yuigahama about the interview later.
She had never worked part-time before and was a little nervous.
Miura Yumiko thought about working part-time mainly because she didn't want her friends to drift away from her circle.
Goodness, now Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia, Shiina Mahiru, and Yui Yuigahama are all going to do social practice together so well, and she's standing by, feeling out of place and lonely, alright.
Miura Yumiko's greatest strength is that she cares deeply about her friends.
Even though she acts haughty and sometimes speaks arrogantly, giving off an undeniable queen-like dominance, as long as it's about her friends, she will believe them.
"Hey, hey, no way, Yumiko, you're also going to work part-time, right?"
Tobe Sho, who had heard the rumors, came over noisily, "That doesn't sound like something Yumiko would do. Working part-time doesn't suit you at all."
"Haha, Sho, don't talk nonsense. Participating in social practice is a good thing! If I wasn't training for the soccer club, I'd want to try it myself."
Hayama Hayato naturally interjected, trying to ease the awkwardness caused by Tobe Sho's words.
He was as bright and cheerful as ever.
Miura Yumiko was about to retort to Tobe Sho, but hearing Hayama Hayato's words, she just snorted coldly and said nothing more.
She glanced at Hayama Hayato and said, with a hint of meaning:
"It's a pity, Hayato-kun, that you can't come with us. Then I'll just have to go with Lin Mu."
Faced with this, Hayama Hayato showed no disappointment. Instead, he smiled and patted Lin Mu's shoulder.
"Mu-kun, it looks like you get to be the flower protector again today."
Lin Mu waved his hand and replied calmly.
"How about I go to the soccer club and train in your place, and you go be the flower protector?"
"Ah haha, don't joke, Mu-kun. If I did that, the seniors would scold me."
Hayama Hayato chuckled, scratching the back of his head, and quickly refused.
He didn't want to work part-time at all, especially not accompanying Miura Yumiko?
If there was a misunderstanding, he wouldn't be able to pursue Yang Nai Jie.
Seeing him refuse, Lin Mu casually said, "If I were you, I'd just skip training. Isn't it much better to go part-time with a beauty like Miura-san?"
"Ah, Lin Mu, what are you saying? A beauty, and all that."
Miura Yumiko, embarrassed, shot him a glance, but her peripheral vision subconsciously scanned Hayama, wanting to see how he would respond.
Hayama Hayato quickly waved his hands.
"No, my training is very important. I've been at it for so long; it's not worth getting kicked off the team for skipping once."
"Oh, so Miura-san can't even compare to your soccer training?"
"Cough, cough, no, it's not like that. I'm just busy, you know." Hayama Hayato smiled and chuckled evasively.
He suddenly didn't want to talk to Lin Mu anymore.
So sarcastic.
This clearly seemed to be aimed at him, trying to sow discord between him and Miura.
Miura Yumiko stared at Hayama Hayato for a moment, then suddenly said to Lin Mu:
"Then, I, this beauty, will trouble you this afternoon, Mr. Flower Protector."
"No problem, leave it to me. I'm not as busy as Hayama-kun."
Lin Mu patted his chest in assurance, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Miura Yumiko.
It seemed Hayama's performance had disappointed Miura Yumiko.
Sarcasm still had its effects.
Actually, he rather looked down on Hayama's behavior.
He clearly didn't intend to give her a future, yet he kept stringing her along with his gentle demeanor, making her his shield.
Rather than that, he might as well make a decisive move and let Miura-san experience the devil's style.
After the conversation ended, Miura Yumiko returned to her seat, feeling a bit down.
She and Hayama had known each other since middle school.
At that time, she was the ace of the tennis club, even representing the school in the city competition and earning second place.
She was beautiful and charming, and he was very popular in their class.
After getting to know each other, their friendship naturally developed.
What girl doesn't like a gentle, warm man?
A simple girl like Miura Yumiko naturally enjoyed being around gentle people.
She thought she would continue her friendship with Hayama, and then it would naturally progress into a dating relationship.
Being simple, she usually trusted her friends, so she didn't think too much about it.
But recently, she suddenly discovered another side of Hayama.
And it wasn't a gentle side; instead… she saw Hayama scolding a girl until she cried.
Thus, Miura Yumiko began to doubt Hayama's feelings for her. Did this warm man, whom she admired, truly care about her?
And this test today left her very disappointed.
Although Lin Mu was a bit sarcastic, his words were correct.
Compared to her, the soccer club training was more important to Hayama.
Thinking of the scene she witnessed last time, Miura Yumiko felt a pang of sadness.
Could the gentle Hayama Hayato also scold people?
And even be harsh to girls?
Miura Yumiko's gaze made Hayama Hayato a little flustered.
He wasn't stupid; how could he not hear Miura Yumiko's clumsy attempt to test him?
But the problem was that he absolutely couldn't date Miura Yumiko, nor would he agree to her requests to go shopping or work part-time together.
It seemed he would just have to find a way to comfort her later.
From his perspective, Miura Yumiko was too naive and the easiest type to appease.
Just a few caring words, and she would immediately beam with joy, forgetting all her troubles.
This also made Hayama even more confident in his charm, subtly a little proud.
And wasn't this also a form of arrogance?
And arrogant people would eventually pay the price.
For example, losing the girl who admired them.
Time moved to the afternoon.
Under Lin Mu's introduction, Miura Yumiko also changed into the staff uniform, and with a fresh feeling, she began her part-time job with Yui Yuigahama and the others.
Being with her friends, she temporarily forgot her troubles and became lively.
It must be said, Miura-san was still very beautiful.
And her figure was even more graceful, on par with Yui Yuigahama.
Well, if you really had to compare, she was even more striking than Yui.
This had to do with her aura.
Yui Yuigahama was very cute and had a great figure, but she was somewhat meek, whereas Miura Yumiko was a queen of the popular crowd, holding a leading position in social interactions.
So she appeared more dominant and could command the respect of those around her.
After working part-time for a while, Miura Yumiko went to the restroom and then came out to the storefront to get some air.
Although there was air conditioning, staying inside the convenience store all the time could get stuffy.
Suddenly, she saw Lin Mu's figure on the streetlamp across the road.
Only, what surprised her was this:
Lin Mu was pressing a cute, twin-tailed beautiful girl against the wall and kissing her lips.
Miura Yumiko's little face instantly turned red.
What was Lin Mu doing?
Wasn't he currently with Shiina Mahiru?
This was cheating! This was betrayal!
Miura Yumiko was so angry that her full chest began to heave.
As Shiina Mahiru's good friend, she couldn't stand by and watch, so she lifted her foot and ran over, intending to confront this scumbag for her friend.
