Miura Yumiko, a beautiful blonde girl, aside from her somewhat volatile personality, is arguably the most popular girl in Luo Lin's class. (The one who loves Hayama in Oregairu)
And now, this class beauty seems to be jealous of Saki because he gave her a lunchbox.
This was completely unexpected for Luo Lin. After all, if someone was jealous of him, wouldn't that mean Yumiko liked him?
Ah... Am I that popular? ? ?
Luo Lin was a little confused. Honestly, while he'd always known he had a good relationship with some of the girls in his class, he'd always thought it was just a relationship built on food. Just friends, not close, right?
After all, every time Yumiko took his pastries, she rarely stayed around him, immediately returning to her own small circle.
It felt like she was just coming over to a friend's place to get some free food and drinks, not to develop a close relationship.
But now that the facts were before him, Luo Lin had to admit it. Was he truly lucky in love?
Thinking this way, besides Yumiko, were the other people who came to get the pastries also...
Ahem, although this idea was incredibly narcissistic, with Yumiko as a premise, who could really say for sure?
At least Luo Lin felt that Yuigahama Yui was too clingy with him. Every time class was over, she would move her desk over to share it with him. Sometimes, after sharing the desk, she would just do nothing but giggle at him.
She had the air of a silly girl next door.
"Tell me, what's your relationship with Kawasaki-san?" Yumiko Miura leaned against the wall, her arms folded, looking at him unhappily, as if she wasn't going to let him off the hook without an explanation.
They weren't dating, so Luo Lin didn't need to explain anything to her.
But Yumiko's personality was just like that. Even if she hadn't confessed her feelings to someone, they were hers.
"Yumiko, you misunderstood. Saki and I are just deskmates, far from being in a relationship," Luo Lin said, trying to comfort her.
Although Yumiko had a domineering personality, she was still a beautiful girl. He had no reason to dislike a beautiful girl who cared so much about him.
"Really? Then why did you send her lunch? This wouldn't be the first time, right?" Yumiko Miura was still unhappy.
"Actually... I just felt sorry for her. I know a little bit about her family. You can understand that her family is struggling, and as a classmate, he can't help her much. But sending her lunch is still okay, right?" Luo Lin quickly explained.
"Can't make ends meet? Is there anyone who doesn't have enough to eat these days?"
"Of course not. Her sister is in the hospital and needs expensive surgery. Didn't you see her sleeping in class all day? That's because she's working a part-time job late every night."
"Is that so... then how did you know?" Yumiko was still skeptical. If they weren't close, how did he get such secret information?
"It just so happens that her mother is the personal driver of a relative of mine. I took this month off to deal with this matter." Luo Lin, trying to comfort Yumiko, simply held her hands.
Luo Lin knew that in situations like this, Yumiko often didn't want an explanation or explanation from him, but rather the intimacy he felt when caring for Saki.
And so, when Luo Lin took her hand, Yumiko, who had been very skeptical, felt a sudden change in her mood.
She looked at their clasped hands, her face slightly flushed as she said with great satisfaction, "Then I'll trust you this once. But from now on, I want you to make me lunch, and you have to hand-deliver it to me. Is that okay?"
"No problem. It's just a meal, isn't it? It's nothing to me."
"Hmph, that's more than enough. Let's go back."
Yumiko was a very possessive girl. Simply holding hands wasn't enough. She even took the initiative to hug Luo Lin's arm, pressing her soft breasts against him, trying to announce to everyone in the class that this man was hers and no one else could have any bad intentions.
However, the opposite happened.
Miura Yumiko never imagined that the person competing with her for her man wasn't Saki Kawasaki, nor anyone else in the class, but a beautiful pink-haired teacher...
Just as Yumiko was about to pull her man back, a very inopportune voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Luo Lin?"
At that voice, not only did Yumiko stop in her tracks, but even Luo Lin froze.
They were all too familiar with that voice; wasn't it the history teacher's?
Yumiko might be domineering, but she couldn't continue to display affection in front of the teacher, could she?
So Yumiko had to temporarily release Luo Lin and greet the teacher.
"Ms. Mafuyu?" Mafuyu looked over at the newcomer. The pink-haired, office lady in her office uniform was as beautiful as ever.
It reminded him of that afternoon in the infirmary, when he and Koyuki Utaha had spent the entire afternoon in biology class right in front of each other.
He even remembered hinting that the teacher had a boyfriend, but she had mistakenly attributed that to him.
But after that afternoon, with the hypnosis wearing off, Mafuyu should have realized something was amiss, right?
Now, he'd actually bumped into her face. That was a disaster.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to class?" Kirisu Mafuyu frowned in dissatisfaction.
What further irritated her was that, even though Yumiko had let go of Luo Lin's arm, they were still tangled up, their pinkies intertwined.
No matter how you looked at it, they looked like they were dating, right?
What was going on?
Luo Lin was hooking up with the class beauty even though he already had a girlfriend, the teacher?
"I just arrived at school, and I haven't had time to tell her yet," Luo Lin explained hastily.
"You could have called me first."
"Huh?"
"Ahem, never mind. Come with me first."
Luo Lin was a little confused. Why did he have to specifically notify Mafuyu when he came to school?
If he had to notify anyone, he should have notified the homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka!
Kirisu Mafuyu realized something was amiss. Wouldn't her words be like telling everyone that she was secretly in contact with the student? What if they were suspected of having a teacher-student relationship?
So Kirisu Mafuyu quickly interrupted herself and asked Luo Lin to go with her.
After not seeing each other for a month, she had so much to say and so many questions she wanted to share with him.
So Kirisu Mafuyu, not sure if Luo Lin and Yumiko's hand-holding had piqued her competitive spirit, immediately walked over, grabbed Luo Lin's hand, and forcibly dragged him away from Yumiko to a deserted place, where she then... ahem.
Yumiko was left standing there, bewildered.
