After arriving at school.
Shiina Mahiru quickly adjusted her state.
She turned back into that dazzling angel.
In class, she would sit up straight and listen attentively.
Just looking at her focused appearance was very exciting.
The angel is working hard, how could I be embarrassed to slack off in class?
Of course,
More people looked at her and revealed expressions of fantasy, completely not listening to the class.
In physical education class, Shiina Mahiru treated every test seriously.
And her results were not bad.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was good at all sports.
And in terms of social interaction.
Shiina Mahiru's position in the class was "Princess."
Miura Yumiko was called "Queen" due to some of her arrogant personality traits.
And Hayama was the prince.
Well, this title might upset Miura-san.
So it's better to call Hayama Hayato "King".
After all, with Hayama's nice-guy personality, he was also very popular in the class.
It hadn't been a few days since school started, and he had taken control of the class's voice.
Lin Xi didn't have any ill feelings towards Hayama either.
After all, when he, the class monitor, was speaking, Hayama Hayato gave him a lot of face and would also actively maintain order.
Although it seemed redundant, Lin Xi was happy to be relaxed.
For Lin Xi.
If someone really didn't give him face and opposed him, then he would just solve it with his fists.
Creating an image of being someone not to be trifled with was also beneficial to his school life.
Why do girls like to date bad boys?
Honest good students are not so popular?
It's probably a matter of security.
People who can fight will bring a unique sense of security to ordinary girls.
Of course, honor students don't count.
Especially someone like Shiina Mahiru, she probably doesn't like bad boys.
Or rather, she doesn't like irresponsible people.
Her parents were that kind of people.
Feeling that she was a burden, an obstacle that tied up their marriage, wouldn't it have been better not to let her be born in the first place?
Letting her come into this world, but not caring or asking about her.
Apart from money and a maid to take care of her, these emotionless parents had never given her a word of concern.
This led to.
Lin Xi just gave her an umbrella in the rain, showing an exceptionally anxious and concerned appearance, and she was moved.
Shiina Mahiru pretended to be calm.
Trying her best not to pay attention to Lin Xi.
But the two were classmates.
Sitting so close, she could see him with a glance from the corner of her eye.
At this time, Lin Xi was reading "Love Rhythmeter".
Shiina Mahiru's heart skipped a beat when she saw this name.
Although Lin Xi said he wouldn't pester her.
But how could eyes lie?
That look of concern for her, if he didn't like her, it would definitely be fake.
Otherwise, why would Ogiwara Sayu advise her to date Lin Xi?
So, Lin Xi is reading romance light novels to prepare to use the tricks from them on himself?
This silly girl probably doesn't know that Lin Xi has already started using tricks on her from the beginning.
Including yesterday's hug.
It's all tricks.
Shiina Mahiru thought she had found the truth.
But throughout the whole day.
Lin Xi didn't say a word to her except to fulfill his duties as class monitor with her.
It really was as he said.
He only cared for her as a landlord, out of responsibility and concern for his Sakura Manor guest.
He had no intention of pestering her or pursuing her at all.
This discovery made Shiina Mahiru very depressed.
She couldn't help but start to doubt.
Does Lin Xi really like her?
Why, knowing that he doesn't like her, does she not feel relieved, but instead feels so uncomfortable?
She also remembered the feeling of being held tightly by him yesterday.
It made her even more uncomfortable.
"Um... Shiina-san, did I make you unhappy?"
Lin Xi suddenly put down the light novel and turned his head to ask, puzzled.
"Ah, no. Why do you ask?"
Shiina Mahiru replied somewhat flusteredly, her eyes becoming erratic.
She didn't dare to meet his eyes.
Lin Xi looked depressed.
"Because you've been glaring at me with a very fierce look."
Hearing this, Shiina Mahiru's little face turned red. She withdrew her gaze and shook her head, pretending to be calm.
"That's not true."
"I just didn't sleep well yesterday and wanted to try to look at the scenery outside the window to clear my vision. I wasn't glaring at you."
After saying this, she felt a burst of guilt, and the blush on her face became more obvious.
"Oh, so that's how it is. There's no class now, do you want me to give you my seat to look at the scenery outside the window?"
"No need, I've seen enough, thank you for your kindness."
After saying these things, the two of them didn't have much conversation for the whole day.
Lin Xi wouldn't act too intimately with Shiina Mahiru in class.
She needs to maintain her good student persona. If he is too close to her, it will only trouble her and make her distance herself from him.
On the contrary, this way of getting along is just right.
Distance creates beauty.
Moreover.
Isn't this indifference at this time also a kind of trick?
See?
Shiina Mahiru has subconsciously glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Thus.
Throughout the whole day, Shiina Mahiru, who tried not to think about Lin Xi, was depressed all day long.
But she couldn't ask directly.
What should she ask?
Ask him if he likes her or not, if he has any good feelings for her?
She is a girl after all, she still needs face and reserve.
Besides, he hasn't confessed to her.
The two are not dating either.
She is naturally embarrassed to ask him why he is so indifferent to her at school.
She has no right to ask at all.
She can only continue to be depressed by herself.
