"Of course, just wait for me."


    "I''ll give you a funeral marche at that time."


    The smell of gunpowder between me and him became stronger and stronger.


    After school.


    "Ayu~~I''m so hungry today~ Let''s go eat donkey meat and firewood!"


    Ziyuan seemed to have really consumed too much, and she ran to my seat very actively, feeling high like a puppy begging for food.


    Of course, I felt a little heartwarming when I saw her adorable appearance, but because there was a Hongmen banquet that I had to go to today, I could only let Ziyuan down on the rare time he took.


    "Ah, sorry Zi Yuan...I have something to do so so I can''t accompany you today."


    I said to her with apologies.


    Zi Yuan''s disappointed expression is also reasonable.


    "Why? Are you going to date Jasmine?"


    "No."


    "Just tell me the truth. Apart from Jasmine, who else can make you reject me?"


    Zi Yuan came over unyieldingly, with a firm and spiritual expression, which made me difficult for me to resist.


    At the same time, her hand was also placed on my shoulder, making it impossible for me to escape.


    It''s really clever. Zi Yuan really has the potential to be a strong woman.


    I turned my head awkwardly.


    No, I can''t explain what happened recently to her. This is Jasmine and me... No, it''s my personal problem with Zhiying and me. Tearing more people in will only make things troublesome.


    "No problem with Zi Yuan, you can rest assured."


    "…Really?"


    You can''t be tough when dealing with Zi Yuan, it will only arouse her competitive spirit. Therefore, I turned to tell her in a gentle tone, and my eyes were deliberately disguised as weak and entangled, desperately passing on the complex emotions to her.


    And Zi Yuan immediately felt soft-hearted, after all, I showed her the emotion of "I want to do things that only I can do."


    Now she is not as willful as before, and she is even able to do it rationally, so she slowly let go of her hands, then put her hands on her hips and looked at me angrily.


    "Ayu, I really can''t do anything to you. I''ll let you go this time."


    "Thank you!"


    I folded my hands and expressed my gratitude to her devoutly.


    Then she also let her hands fold on the back of my hands.


    "What''s our relationship? Don''t be so hypocritical~ Also, if you have any trouble, you must tell me and I will help you."


    “Saru…”


    Her serious expression made me want to cry a little, but as a boy, I was used to not showing that kind of face in front of women, so I just nodded.
