Shiina Mahiru was stunned when she heard Mashiro's words.
"Mashiro, do you mean that a person named Rita used to help you choose your clothes, then help you put them on, and even help you wash up?"
"Yeah."
Mashiro nodded and looked at Lin Xi expectantly, waiting for her owner to take care of her.
Mahiru was speechless.
Where did you come from, Princess?
She envied… ah no, envied my foot!
If Shiina Mahiru turned into such a useless person, she would rather die!
Just as she was about to say something, Lin Xi touched her hair and said softly:
"Okay, don't be angry, I believe Mahiru can also see that Mashiro isn't doing it on purpose."
"Once she doesn't have guidance, and no one takes care of her, she completely doesn't know what to do."
"Not putting on clothes after taking a shower is also because the person taking care of her didn't choose clothes for her, she completely doesn't know how to choose."
"That's why she took out all the clothes, but didn't know how to put them back."
Listening to his words, Shiina Mahiru couldn't continue to be angry with Mashiro, but she still pouted.
"You saw the beautiful scenery and started speaking up for her."
"You've only just met, how do you understand her so well?"
Lin Xi looked at the jealous Mahiru and said helplessly:
"What are you thinking? I'm just better at observation and reasoning."
"Okay, don't be angry, seeing Mashiro all wet, let's dry her hair first, otherwise she'll catch a cold, will you do it or should I?"
"Of course I'll do it! You're not allowed to touch her!"
Shiina Mahiru pushed him out of the room, and then started to take care of this insensible cousin herself.
Originally, she was quite envious that her cousin could gain the love of relatives, friends, and parents because of her painting.
But now she doesn't envy her at all.
What kind of family would raise Mashiro into such a useless person?
Those people must only care about the value that Mashiro's painting can create.
They don't care at all about what kind of state she is in.
Thinking of this.
Mahiru's gaze towards Mashiro softened.
Shiina Mahiru has always been a gentle person, she was only angry with Mashiro because of Lin Xi just now.
Now she has regained her composure and gently took Mashiro's hand, walking into the bathroom.
"Come with me, I'll dry you off and then change your clothes."
"But, Lin Xi is the owner."
Mashiro still wanted to protest.
Mahiru immediately put on a stern face, "With me here, I'm also your owner, listen to me!"
"Oh…"
The little cousin was quite obedient, and quickly changed into Shuigao's school uniform with Mahiru's help.
Her face was also washed clean, and she even applied some sunscreen.
Mashiro was like a doll, letting Mahiru manipulate her.
Mahiru instead had a novel feeling.
What's with this feeling of dressing up a doll?
This cousin is only a few months younger than her, but she didn't expect her to be such an airhead.
Well, she's still a useless person!
"Okay, let's go, today I and Lin Xi will take you to school to register, in the afternoon you will go home with your cousin Chizuru, understand?"
"Understood."
"As for this room, we can only ask Sayu to clean it up."
There wasn't enough time.
If they cleaned the room, she and Lin Xi would be late.
Opening the door.
The image of two cute golden-haired girls holding hands made Lin Xi's eyes light up.
Mahiru is indeed a gentle little angel.
She got along with Mashiro so quickly.
Sakura Dormitory is just a short walk from Suimei University of the Arts Affiliated High School, less than a minute away, and the three of them were standing at the school gate.
So, how are two students from another school supposed to send a transfer student from the school inside?
Lin Xi couldn't help but complain as he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
Teacher Chisato Misaki, you scammer!
He still had to call her and wait for her to slowly come over, and he and Mahiru would miss the train.
Fortunately, Lin Xi saw Aoyama Nanami, who was walking along the road with a sleepy look, so he immediately called out to her and put Mashiro's small hand in her hand.
"Aoyama-san, this is Shiina Mashiro, a resident of Sakura Dormitory, and also a transfer student to your school, can I trouble you to send her to Teacher Chisato Misaki's office?"
"Ah? I can, but…"
"Then I'll leave it to you! Thank you very much!"
Without waiting for Aoyama Nanami to react, Lin Xi pulled Shiina Mahiru and ran away.
If they were any slower, they would really miss the train.
Aoyama Nanami looked at Shiina Mashiro, who was holding her hand and staring at her without blinking, with a bewildered expression.
She has finally woken up now.
"Um, are you called Shiina Mashiro? I'm Aoyama Nanami, and I'm also a student at Suikou, but I'm in the general studies department, Shiina-san, what about you?"
"Art."
"So you're in the art department, then the classroom is at…"
Aoyama Nanami enthusiastically introduced while leading Mashiro towards Chisato Misaki's office.
Coming to Lin Xi's side.
Looking at the train that had already left.
The two looked at each other.
"Mahiru, how about we say we caught a cold and ask Miss Shizuka for leave, and not go to school today?"
"Let's go on a date!"
"Ah! You idiot, that's definitely not going to work!"
Shiina Mahiru glared at him, "I have never skipped class before. It would be fine if I were really sick, but lying to deceive the teacher is wrong!"
Lin Xi looked pained.
"Don't you want to go on a date with me?"
"Idiot, it's not that I don't want to, it's just… do you have to be so impatient?"
Lin Xi held her small hand, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just that we're going to miss the train."
"Being late is better than skipping class!"
"Anyway, no way. Don't forget we're both class representatives. It would be very irresponsible if we both didn't go."
"Okay."
In fact, Lin Xi just mentioned it casually. He had also agreed with Sumireko to experience a lap pillow, so naturally, he couldn't possibly not go to school.
See?
Looking at Mahiru's delighted expression, it proves that she was coaxed into being very happy.
Just waiting for the next train.
A charming fragrance wafted over.
"Hey, little brother, we meet again!"
A fair-skinned, beautiful short-haired woman wearing a purple off-shoulder camisole and denim shorts came over, flashing him a bright smile.
Her figure was perfect, and her smile, under the backdrop of that cute face, was full of approachability.
Shiina Mahiru suddenly felt a lot of pressure and vigilantly looked at this big sister with overflowing friendliness.
She was all too familiar with this kind of social, perfect smile.
"Hehe, this must be the Shiina family's young lady. Don't be so wary of me. I won't steal your boyfriend… well, not for now?"
Saying that, she winked playfully.
"Uh, you are?"
Lin Xi already had a guess in his mind.
That cute face that is 90% similar to Yukinoshita Yukino…
"I'm Yukinoshita Haruno. Shiina-san, who doesn't often attend banquets, probably doesn't know me, but I know you."
"Well, your younger cousin, Shiina Mashiro, is more famous."
"Yukinoshita Haruno? Are you the older sister of Class J's Yukinoshita-san?"
Shiina Mahiru immediately guessed and said.
"That's right. Judging from the looks of you, you seem to have missed the train. I happen to have some business at Soubu High School. Would you like to take my family's private car together?"
"If you wait for the next train, you'll be late."
Shiina Mahiru looked at Lin Xi. Her instinct was not to accept such kindness, but she valued Lin Xi's opinion more.
Unconsciously, Mahiru had already regarded Lin Xi as her backbone.
Lin Xi held Mahiru's hand and smiled at Haruno.
Expressing friendliness.
"Then thank you, Haruno-nee, please let us hitch a ride!"
"Hehe, you have such a sweet mouth. I like that name!"
Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but secretly pinch him.
Idiot, you're not allowed to flirt with beautiful big sisters!
I'm still here!
Haruno, however, sized them up a few times, took out her phone, and dialed her family driver's phone number.
In fact, her meeting with Lin Xi was not a coincidence.
Lin Xi would not expose her.
Since there was a free ride, why not take it?
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at their clasped hands and deliberately leaned closer to Lin Xi.
"Hey, hey, are you two dating?"
"We are not!" Shiina Mahiru quickly let go of his hand, her pretty face flushed red.
"Not dating, yet you're holding hands? Shiina, you're not being honest."
"Really not, Haruno-san, Lin Xi and I, it's just a coincidence, we just accidentally held hands!"
Then this accident is too intimate, right?
Yukinoshita Haruno muttered, smiling as she hugged Lin Xi's arm.
"Really, then I won't be polite, last time my family's car almost had an accident at the school gate, it was Lin Xi-san who prevented the accident from happening, I've always wanted to thank you."
"How about it, I don't have a boyfriend right now, would you like to try dating me?"
"Uh, please don't tease me, Haruno-nee, you're such a beauty, there must be many suitors."
"Hehe, that's right, but I'm serious, would you like to consider it?"
"No, no!" Lin Xi wanted to pull his arm out of the soft place, but Haruno held on tightly.
Lin Xi was speechless.
Mahiru is already glaring at me, and my waist is being pinched by her little hand!
Haruno, don't cause trouble!
"Pfft, so interesting, Shiina-san, you actually like Lin-san, right? Stop pinching, you'll hurt yourself if you pinch too hard."
Shiina Mahiru's cheeks were burning hot, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
Lin Xi pretended to tense his body, looking straight ahead at the scenery, as if he didn't care about Haruno hugging his arm.
Haruno didn't mean to let go either.
Until they got out of the car, she was still clinging to him.
Glancing at the crowd, she subtly let go, smiling and saying to the two of them:
"Lin-san, consider me owing you a favor, I will repay you."
Saying that, she suddenly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
"Well then, see you later."
Lin Xi also noticed a stiff-bodied blond man not far away, Hayama Hayato's expression.
He immediately understood.
So Haruno was using him as a shield to attack Hayama Hayato.
Well, he didn't care.
It's just looking at Shiina Mahiru with her puffed-up cheeks, his expression turned awkward..
