Chapter 84 Lovers should start as friends

"..."

"..."

The conversation ended here and an awkward silence fell on the scene.

In order to divert his attention, Qingshui Jian took a sip of the milk in his hand. After realizing that it was already empty, he threw the empty box into the trash can on the roadside. The aluminum foil package drew a slight parabola and landed accurately on the top layer of the trash can full of garbage.

Since the trash can happened to be on Shimizumi's side, he took the milk carton from Ayase Kotone and threw it into the trash can.

I thought the topic would just pass, but Yukino asked again without paying attention to the atmosphere.

"Are you dating?"

With her head tilted and her eyes blinking, Yukino looked at Shimizu with an innocent look.

The answer to this question is obviously no.

Of course, Shimizu Mi and Ayase Kotone were not dating, but Ayase Kotone's attention was completely focused on the gracefully walking Xiaoxue in front of her, and she couldn't take her eyes off her.

She probably didn't even hear Yukino's second question.

Therefore, I have to let Shimizu answer for me here——

"We're not dating."

"Is that so~"

Yukino's reaction was ambiguous, as if she had something to say, and her bright big eyes stared at Shimizumi. This look made people wonder if there was really a child's soul living in this petite body?

"Is that a friend?"

Koyukino didn't seem satisfied with the answer and continued to ask.

"To be precise, we haven't even met a few times, so it's not true."

To be honest, Shimizu Michiru didn't have much contact with Ayase Kotone in this week. At most, he would only meet her at the school gate every morning when he went to school.

"But the elder sister didn't say anything just now, but you knew that she had finished drinking the milk and even helped her throw it into the trash can. Isn't it because you have known each other for a long time that you are so familiar with each other?"

"..."

Qing Shuijian was speechless for a moment when asked.

Although Ayase Kotone herself was staring at the cat and didn't notice it, little details like these were something Shimizu Mi had developed while spending time with her in Act 1.

But he didn't expect that Yukino would capture this so keenly.

To be honest, Shimizu is now really curious about who Yukino's mother is. What kind of person would raise a four-year-old girl like this?

At this time, Xiaoxue, who was walking silently in front, took brisk steps and instantly widened the distance between her and the three people, and disappeared at the corner of the corridor in front in a blink of an eye.

Cats' temperaments are basically so fickle. They may rub against your legs affectionately and act coquettishly in the last second, but turn around and walk away without any warning in the next second. However, Shimizu Ken did not miss the momentary disappointment that flashed across Ayase Kotone's face.

"Xiaoxue ran away, aren't you going to chase her?"

"What Xiaoxue?"

I don’t know if she was playing dumb, but Yukino had an expression that looked like she couldn’t understand.

"That's the cat just now. Isn't that your cat?"

"No, we just met by chance at school."

"..."

Then what random name did you give it... "By the way, big sister, do you want to fall in love?"

Yukino's mouth seemed to be restless all the time, and she immediately started a new topic with Ayase Kotone.

"Do you want the student council president to take the lead in violating school rules..."

When Qingshui saw that he hadn't finished speaking, Yukino bent his fingers.

"What's wrong? It hurts..."

Even for a four-year-old girl, it would be painful to have her fingers bent like this.

When Koyukino saw Shimizu complaining like that, she sighed loudly, then shrugged her shoulders, imitating someone else and making an expression that said, "Ah~ This guy is really unromantic."

Shimizu Miki was not the only one who didn't understand the situation. Ayase Kotone was also looking at Yukino with confusion.

"Big sister, have you exchanged contact information with big brother?"

Ayase Kotone was slightly stunned, glanced at Shimizumi, and then shook her head.

Although the two have never exchanged contact information, to be honest, Shimizu Mi still remembers Ayase Kotone's number.

"Then hurry up."

"Hurry up what?"

Once again, Qingshuijian was unsure of the situation and was glared at fiercely by Xiao Xueno.

This kid is so scary...

"Big sister, do you also want to be friends with this brother?"

"Ah, but..."

Seeing Ayase Kotone hesitating, Yukino gently pulled her hand and motioned for her to put her ear closer.

Then, Yukino whispered a few words in the ear of Ayase Kotone who was bending over, and then Ayase Kotone showed a surprised expression of "Really?

"Of course it's true."

"OK then……"

What consensus did these two people reach?

Just as Shimizu was thinking about this question, Ayase Kotone shook the phone in her hand left and right.

That was to use GPS to exchange LINE ID accounts, but Shimizu had always set GPS to off, so he had never used this function...

"Come on, Qingshui-san!"

"It's not necessary..."

"please hurry up!"

Ayase Kotone spoke the honorific in an almost commanding tone, an urgency that was out of character with her usual style.

Then, Shimizumi followed suit and got Ayase Kotone's LINE account...

As if she had accomplished her mission, Yukino smiled with an inexplicable sense of relief.

Perhaps, this child really has a promising future.
