Stray Chapter 133: Standard ending
"Ah, sorry, I just subconsciously ignored..."
Xia Ran apologized insincerely.
But speaking of it, it's really strange enough. He shouldn't be so happy when he sees Yukinoshita Yukino, even though he really hasn't seen him for a long time. .
However, is it too inappropriate to forget Kato Megumi almost in a blink of an eye?
"Forget it, there's nothing I can do, I'm used to this kind of thing...although I still feel like I'm a little hit."
I don't know what's going on, but Megumi Kato still looks calm, or that kind of regrettable calm.
"Huh? Are you used to this kind of thing?" Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth. This kind of statement doesn't seem to be a small problem that can be laughed off!
"Yes, I'm not as conspicuous as you and this Yukinoshita classmate..." Kato Megumi walked into the classroom, came to Yukinoshita not far away and nodded, in a tone of voice. It's still that faint, unwavering feeling.
“…Am I conspicuous?”
Xia Ran really doesn't want to discuss such a topic, but today's events have proved that he seems to be really conspicuous.
Megumi Kato looked at him carefully, then nodded lightly: "It's just that you don't have that kind of awareness, Xia Ran. You didn't mean to make yourself stand out, and I didn't plan to make yourself not. Conspicuous."
Yukinoshita came to the aisle in front of Xia Ran's desk, and looked at the two of them for a few seconds inexplicably, and then she brushed the long black hair that fell to her shoulders, with a sweet voice like a stream :
"Kato-san, do you mean that you are distressed by your inconspicuousness?"
"It's not a worry..." Kato Megumi was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a while, she replied, "According to my friend's opinion, I always give people a weak impression, I should say very Is it easy to ignore..."
"Speaking of which, it really seems to be the case." Xia Ran nodded in agreement and put on a serious look, "Many times, I almost forgot that there was someone behind me, and even Couldn't remember your name."
“…”
“…”
Mei Kato's expression was completely troubled, her eyes were paler than before, and she seemed to not want to speak at all.
"Huh? Kato-san, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the artist forgot to color you..." Xia Ran stopped speaking and looked at the pale girl in front of her. He didn't say a word and didn't move, he asked with concern.
"Isn't this your fault? Shouldn't it be to comfort others at this time, why do you need to make up for it?"
Xishoshita frowned tightly and cast a cold look at him: "And where did we get the painter?"
"Wait, wait, don't we have an artist?"
Xia Ran looked at the black long straight girl with a subtle expression, as if she was very shocked by this incident.
Yukishita ignored him, but looked at Megumi Kato, who was silent, and said helplessly:
"Kato-kun, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, don't look at him as if he is very good and can talk, in fact he doesn't care about irrelevant people at all, and it's not just that you can't remember your name. , in fact, I can't remember any of his names..."
"Hey, how do you clean people out of thin air?"
Xia Ran's eyes widened immediately, and she protested in disgust, no matter what, this kind of slandering him out of nothing in front of his face is too bad!
Xueshita, I didn't expect you to be such a person!
Kato Megumi's eyes moved slightly, and she seemed to be thoughtful, probably because Yukinoshita Yukino's statement seemed reasonable:
"It seems to be the same, just at noon, Xia Ran called An Yi by the wrong name and called him Ito... It didn't seem like a joke, I was a little strange at the time , they obviously know each other, right?"
“…”
“…”
——Humans just want to hurt each other!
"Are you too embarrassed to say something innocent just now?"
Yukinoshita turned around and looked at the young man who suddenly became interested in the sunset outside the window with contempt from the bottom of his heart. He was pretending to watch the scenery, his eyes were very bad.
"Cough, come on, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, what is the matter with Yukinoshita that you came to me specifically?"
Xia Ran averted her eyes from looking at her, just coughed twice, and then asked in a serious manner.
Speaking of which, Kato Megumi actually found out at noon that she called An Yi Lun by the wrong name. It was not a joke but a real mistake! In this case, doesn't it mean that she suddenly interjected at that time, and also had a dialogue with An Yilun——
In addition to thanking An Yilun for her help before, she also took the opportunity to remind Xia Ran of her thoughts?
"This technique of changing the subject is too blunt... Forget it, I won't waste time with you."
The girl first stared at him unhappily, but then sighed again, as if she had a headache.
"Let's just say it directly - not long after school was over, someone came to the Ministry for a commission."
"Huh? So what? Could it be that guy asked me to do something by name?" Xia Ran didn't quite understand it, and immediately thought of this possibility.
Who is it? Who is going to harm themselves?
Is it possible that someone came looking for trouble just after I came back? !
He became vigilant in an instant, his brain turned rapidly, and the intelligence attribute of up to 40+ came into play in an instant... Then he didn't think of anything. After all, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he can't do anything about it!
If there is really any suspicion, the first premise is that there must be one or several clear imaginary enemies. However, he didn't remember the names of a few people in the school, and he didn't know a few people at all...
It's better now. In the past, as long as the a.t. force field was turned on, it was completely the result of "don't approach strangers, and keep acquaintances away".
Since this is the case, then it is impossible to create something out of nothing in this kind of thing, just pull a few imaginary enemies out? How to do this kind of thing? Just go out and get a loudspeaker, gather all the teachers and students in the school, and kill a lucky audience at random?
Huh? Wait, could it be Ito... Ahn Yilun too?
Could it be that the guy had another whimsy, and he was worried that he would refuse, so he used a commission from the service department to achieve his goal in a roundabout way? It seems likely...
——Xia Ran suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be the target of no doubts, so he began to think about how to solve this guy who was always making trouble for himself... Is it sinking in Tokyo Bay or buried in the sea of trees in Fuji Woolen cloth?
"It's not, it's just that person... how should I put it, his commission is rather strange, it's about the novel he wrote, and in the service department, you are the only professional. "
It's just that Yukinoshita stopped Xia Ran's wild thoughts in time. She shook her head gently, and the warm breeze came from outside the window, blowing the waist-length hair behind her.
"But I don't know what's going on. You were the first to read books in the activity room before, but today you haven't come all the time... So I came here to see, because Hiratsuka-sensei said that your body Not very good, I used to take time off often."
So, isn't it An Yi Lun?
Xia Ran didn't know what to do, and felt a little regretful, but in a blink of an eye, she put this inexplicable regret behind her.
He raised a fist, tapped his forehead, and raised another question: "In this case, you don't need to make a special trip, just make a phone call or send an email. ?"
"...just like you did before, and I don't know your phone number either."
Yukinoshita was silent for a while, and said so unhappily, at the same time she turned her head slightly to the other direction.
“…”
“…”
There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward for a while.
Xia Ran also remembered at this time. It seemed that she had gone to Yukinoshita once before, not only because she was still in class at the time, and it was difficult to call and send emails, but also because she did not have her at the time. Cell phone number, if you want to do this, you can't do it.
As a result, it's been so long now, and it's still the same. It hasn't improved at all.
So, what were you thinking about before? Could it be that every time you need to contact each other in the future, you have to rely on both parties to walk to notify each other? It's not like he said, raising pigeons to deliver letters is more efficient than this!
"I'm on duty today, with Kato-san..." He thought for a while, then said, "So it's a little late... Forget it, let's exchange contact information first, Yukinoshita classmates."
Having said that, Xia Ran took out her phone and shook it.
The girl looked at him in surprise at first, as if she couldn't believe the suggestion he made, but in the end she seemed to surrender and let out a long sigh of relief:
"Okay...but you don't want to think too much. If it's okay, you'd better not message me."
"That's right, I think so too, don't come to me if you don't have anything, don't come to me if you have something..."
Xia Ran didn't take a hit at all, she just showed a confident smile, and she didn't intend to show weakness in this regard.
Yukinoshita also narrowed his eyes slightly, what does this guy mean, and why does he feel like he is disgusting himself in turn.
“…”
“…”
The two sides looked at each other, and at this moment, it seemed that the air was somewhat stagnant.
Well, an illusion.
Mei Kato watched the two of them play each other quietly, tilted her head, she didn't quite understand but also found it interesting. The way the two got along made her feel a little envious... Unfortunately, she seemed to Some are too simple, and there has been no sense of existence.
"Well, Kato-san, let's exchange mobile numbers too!"
Because there are three people present, no matter what, as long as the other person is excluded, there will always be something inappropriate.
So, including Megumi Kato, the three exchanged contact information of course.
