Ying Lili
Of course, this disdain gradually disappeared in the years that followed. After all, as she slowly grew up, she realized it was quite inappropriate to dislike friends for such a reason.
However, later, for some unknown reason, Aki Tomoya suddenly exposed her as a two-dimensional enthusiast, which put Ying Lili in a rather difficult situation.
Ying Lili then broke ties with him. After all, Ying Lili was new to the two-dimensional world and didn't feel an inseparable bond with Aki Tomoya because of it.
Ying Lili thought this way and acted accordingly. She just didn't know why, after entering junior high, her old friend Aki Tomoya sought her out again.
And he used such a reason to get her to join his so-called game club: "Didn't I betray you back then? Are you still unwilling to do something for you now?"
Ying Lili never felt she had betrayed him. They were just friends; where was all this talk of betrayal? And if anyone was to talk about betrayal, wasn't he the one who betrayed her first?
He inexplicably put his friend in a disadvantageous position first, exposing her hidden hobby in public.
Did he ever consider the possibility of social death?
After all, no matter when, Japan, as the birthplace of two-dimensional culture, has a lower acceptance of two-dimensional culture than countries where it later emerged.
Of course, this acceptance does not mean an inability to accept, but rather their non-acceptance of the otaku group.
So, Ying Lili, who was originally a young lady with a good reputation and well-liked among her classmates, was forced to choose to leave.
Under such circumstances, it was already quite good that Ying Lili didn't use her family's status to specifically trouble Aki Tomoya.
How dare Aki Tomoya come specifically to tell her she was in the wrong?
Ying Lili thought this while her face darkened, wanting to call her mother to find someone to cause him some trouble, but she ultimately stopped.
After all, it was just a small conflict; there was no need to escalate it. If her mother got involved, the situation would be completely different.
Ying Lili suddenly remembered her diary. After so many years of research, she finally found out who the original owner was.
But unfortunately, as a hesitant 'loser' character young lady, Sawamura, Spencer, Eriri was stuck at the very first step of contact.
Although there were constant voices inside loudly urging her to make contact with him, her body couldn't accept it.
Ultimately, Sawamura, Spencer, Eriri could only watch as more and more people gathered around Qianshu Lian. However, at this time, she didn't connect that many of the girls around Qianshu Lian also had diaries.
After all, among the people Sawamura, Spencer, Eriri had been able to interact with since childhood, no one had been able to see her diary. Therefore, Sawamura, Spencer, Eriri naturally assumed she was the only one who had it.
So, wasn't the fate between her and him destined?
Qianshu Lian, completely unaware that his diary had unintentionally gained good favor with many people for over a decade, was still thinking in the club room.
"Let's take a break. I've made more desserts this time; you can try them. I specifically tasted them beforehand, and they're completely different from before!"
Yui Yuigahama came out very happily, carrying a large basin of desserts. These were desserts she had made after countless efforts.
It could be said to be the crystallization of her hard work. Hachiman Hikigaya, who already wanted to rest, was the first to try one. After chewing a few times and swallowing, Hachiman Hikigaya gave a thumbs up.
"That's really good. Although compared to the snacks and desserts you brought before, there are still many flaws in what you made, Yui Yuigahama, your progress is truly significant!"
Yui Yuigahama, praised by Hachiman Hikigaya, smiled very happily. To receive praise in this area, could it be considered a good start?
Qianshu Lian also picked up a dessert and tasted it. The taste wasn't particularly delicious, but how to put it, it already had the basic form of a dessert.
From any perspective, it could be said to be an edible dessert, so Qianshu Lian also gave a thumbs up.
Seeing Qianshu Lian's action, Yui Yuigahama also smiled, though her excited emotions were noticeably more restrained compared to before.
"There's still a lot of room for improvement, but compared to the progress from the very beginning, it can already be said to be rapid progress."
Yukino Yukinoshita commented. Making such desserts was not difficult for her, but just thinking about the ability Yui Yuigahama showed at the very beginning was already worthy of praise.
Sakura Chiyo and Kasumigaoka Shiwa also nodded. Sakura Chiyo's ability in this area was decent, at least stronger than Kasumigaoka Shiwa.
However, both of them were more talented than Yui Yuigahama, and they weren't very interested in making these small desserts in their spare time, which is why they could sit there and comment.
After Qianshu Lian ate two more pieces, he turned to the classroom door and said,
"Please send a few cups of afternoon tea over~"
Before the others could react, the classroom door opened, and over a dozen tall figures in uniform, completely covered, walked in, carrying various cups.
Several people separated to serve teacups to everyone present one by one, then poured milk tea for everyone. Incidentally, a few figures walked into the kitchen and cleaned up all the kitchen waste.
After bowing, the group of people exited the classroom in order.
This series of actions was so smooth, professional, and precise.
"Where did these guys come from? Does our school allow people to come in?" Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the milk tea in front of him with some confusion, then looked at the closed classroom door.
"Ordinary students might not be allowed, but who is he? He's Qianshu Lian~"
Yukino Yukinoshita said teasingly. Although Soubu High School in this world was a larger school with more rules after its merger.
But no matter how big it was, it was still within this society, and there were always some privileges that could be used.
"Is this what true wealthy life is like? Just thinking about it makes me envious~" Sakura Chiyo said, somewhat moved, after taking a sip of the milk tea in front of her.
The taste of this milk tea clearly wasn't something bought from the street. This craftsmanship was so good it could be said to be specifically for this purpose.
She had never thought that one day she would be able to drink this level of milk tea, because even if she could buy it, she wouldn't spend that much money.
