Although she was teased and threatened in a very malicious way, Kato Megumi was still quite happy.
It was the first time a boy had spoken to her, actively asked for her phone number, and it was Lin Mu, who she had a lot of fate with, having been her deskmate from elementary school to high school.
Kato Megumi's heart was fluttering with joy. She looked at her phone, then couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
How would he harass her?
Having always been ignored and overlooked, she had never actually been harassed by anyone before.
Lin Mu was actually just joking; he wouldn't really harass her.
At most, he'd call her when he had time and chat for a while.
Feelings are built through conversation and actions, aren't they?
Without contact, how could anything begin?
In any case, Kato Megumi as his subordinate, he was determined to have her.
Time came for the long break.
Miura Yumiko, along with the bespectacled Ebina Hina and Yui Yuigahama, came to Shiina Mahiru's desk to chat.
"Shiina, is there anyone you're really interested in, like a boy?"
Miura Yumiko asked curiously, her eyes fixed on Shiina Mahiru.
When Shiina Mahiru heard this question, Lin Mu's face unconsciously appeared in her mind.
If it were before, she would have said no, and that she needed to focus on her studies and had no time for romance.
But now... she looked at Miura-san, who had a good figure and was very pretty, and thought of that bad guy who had more than once secretly glanced at Miura and Yuigahama. A sour feeling immediately arose in her heart.
So, she smiled and replied to Miura, "Yes, there is."
When Miura Yumiko heard this, her heart tightened, and her expression became tense.
"Who is it? Tell us secretly; we absolutely won't tell anyone! And, in exchange, I can tell you the person I'm interested in too!"
Are girls' secrets also meant to be exchanged?
Otherwise, if only one side spoke, it would seem unfair and cause conflict.
Yui Yuigahama and Ebina Hina also unconsciously stared at Shiina Mahiru, looking gossipy.
"Who could have captured the favor of our Angel-classmate? I want to know too! Student Shiina, tell us, I promise I won't tell anyone."
Ebina Hina also nodded vigorously, indicating she wanted to hear.
She was the one with the tightest lips!
Shiina Mahiru's face flushed slightly as she glanced at Lin Mu's direction, making Miura Yumiko's face turn pale.
It can't really be Hayama, can it?
No!
I don't want to be rivals with such an Angel!
She still liked Shiina Mahiru quite a bit and wanted to continue being friends with her.
Facing the gossipy expressions of her three friends, Shiina Mahiru pursed her lips and whispered, "It's Lin, I feel like he's quite similar to me. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Miura Yumiko, Yui Yuigahama, and Ebina Hina all widened their eyes.
"It's Lin Mu!"
Yui Yuigahama was very surprised because she hadn't seen Shiina and Lin interact much.
So, this is what Angel-classmate's ideal type is like?
Indeed, Lin is quite handsome, but he's a bit like a shut-in, always playing games on his laptop right after class.
Ebina Hina pushed up her glasses, looking thoughtful.
She felt there must be a story between Shiina Mahiru and Lin Mu!
Miura Yumiko, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh, "What? So it's Lin! I'm rooting for you two."
As long as it's not Hayama, Shiina can like anyone!
That's great, the boat of friendship doesn't have to capsize!
Shiina Mahiru's cheeks flushed, feeling a little embarrassed, because she actually said that to declare Lin Mu's ownership.
As friends, you can't try to flirt with him, otherwise, you'll be going against her!
That was probably the meaning.
"Then, Miura-san, what about you? Since you know my secret, shouldn't you also reveal something?"
If it were before, she wouldn't press, she would just smile it off, perfectly giving Miura-san a way out without having to reveal her secret.
But not now.
Shiina Mahiru was also a little worried that Miura and the others might take a liking to Lin Mu.
That wouldn't do.
This man, only she could spoil him.
Seeing Shiina Mahiru's curious gaze, Miura-san's cheeks also couldn't help but flush slightly.
"It's... it's Hayama-kun. We've known each other since middle school and developed a friendship..."
"So it's him..." Shiina Mahiru suddenly understood. She had long noticed that Miura Yumiko was overly enthusiastic towards Hayama, a completely different attitude than towards other boys.
Towards Hayama, she was incredibly sweet, often acting spoiled and inviting him to hang out.
Towards other boys, however, she was aloof, frowning, and incredibly arrogant, practically two-faced.
However, she wasn't very optimistic about Hayama and Miura-san.
The reason was simple.
Hayama Hayato, like her, worked hard to maintain his image.
He treated everyone with the same attitude, offending no one, able to chime in on any topic, and joking around to keep his friends harmonious, practically a central air conditioner.
And how could such a man be expected to abandon his dazzling halo and carefully cultivated image to show favoritism towards Miura-san?
Love is selfish.
Shiina Mahiru herself didn't want other women to get close to Lin Mu, let alone other women?
So, given Hayama's attitude towards Miura-san, Miura-san definitely had no chance!
"You guys can't tell anyone, okay?" Miura Yumiko said seriously.
Shiina Mahiru and the other two quickly nodded.
But in their hearts, they were complaining.
Please, anyone with eyes could see it! Did you even need to say that secret?
Immediately after, Shiina Mahiru, Ebina, and Miura all turned their gaze to the gossipy Yui Yuigahama.
"Hehe, Yuigahama, it's your turn to speak!"
Yui Yuigahama's face instantly turned crimson, and she nervously clutched the corner of her clothes.
"Um... I don't seem to have a boy I'm particularly interested in yet, can I skip?"
"No!" Miura Yumiko glared at her, "Both Shiina and I have spoken, you can't escape!"
"If you don't have anyone you like, then talk about your type. What kind of boy do you like?"
When Yui Yuigahama heard this, she stroked her chin and began to think.
"Hmm... first, he shouldn't dislike small animals, since I have a dog named Sablé at home."
"Secondly, he needs to be a bit strong, able to protect me, and not look worse than Hayama or Lin. It's best if he's someone with a very gentle personality."
After hearing her words, Shiina Mahiru and Miura Yumiko immediately became wary of their busty friend.
The reason was simple.
Shiina Mahiru felt that Yui Yuigahama's ideal was Lin Mu, while Miura Yumiko felt that Yui Yuigahama's ideal might be Hayama Hayato!
"Uh, why are you two looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
Yui Yuigahama was startled by the sharp gazes of Shiina and Yumiko.
"Nothing, don't worry about it, you passed." Miura Yumiko waved her hand with a smile.
She'd wait and see. For now, Yuigahama was still a very good friend and probably wouldn't try to steal her man.
"Then, next... Ebina, it's your turn!"
The three girls tacitly turned their gaze to Ebina Hina.
Ebina Hina shyly covered her cheeks, but she wasn't stage-frightened and spoke directly:
"Rather than boys I'm interested in, I'm more interested in what happens between boys!"
"For example, look at Lin Mu-san and Hayama. Hayama is so easygoing, he has the potential to be the 'uke,' while Lin Mu-san seems gentle, but his eyes are sharper. He would definitely spoil someone he likes to the end, hehe, between two boys... Waaah!"
Miura Yumiko quickly covered her mouth, "That's enough, Ebina, it was my mistake to ask you this question, you passed, don't say any more! You're still a cute girl when you don't talk!"
Good heavens, we asked you what type of boy you liked.
And you immediately took the opportunity to spread your hobby of 'bromance' between boys to us, our ears are going to be contaminated!
