Second floor of the teaching building, meeting room.
After Ms. Mafuyu Kirisu gave the class notes to Lin Bai, she added:.
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can go to the staff room and ask the teacher for the corresponding subject."
"Alright, you can go back now."
"I understand."
Lin Bai nodded at her words.
He stood up and left the meeting room, walking towards his classroom.
Ms. Mafuyu Kirisu, who had closed the door, looked at Lin Bai's retreating figure, then turned and walked towards the staff room.
Her expression remained unchanged, impassive, as if radiating a coldness that kept people at a distance.
A moment later, Lin Bai returned to the classroom.
Just as he sat down, Miura Yumiko approached, accompanied by Yui Yuigahama and Ebina Hina.
"Lin Bai (Student)."
Miura Yumiko smiled brightly.
"Miura (Student), Yui (Student), Ebina (Student)."
Lin Bai looked at them and greeted them with a smile.
Miura Yumiko had beautiful golden long hair.
Two strands of her hair fell over her shoulders.
The ends were deliberately permed into spiral curls, like drills.
Her features were delicate, her skin fair, and her eyes and brows had light makeup.
Her emerald green eyes were bright and dazzling, like two jewels.
She wore a fitted student uniform, with a curvy figure and long, fair legs beneath her skirt.
Just like the bright smile on her face, her overall impression was one of sunshine and enthusiasm.
Coupled with her style of interacting with people, she had subtly earned the nickname 'Queen of Flames' among the boys.
Yui Yuigahama, to her left, had shoulder-length, light peach-colored hair.
A bun was tied on the right side of her head.
If one looked closely, they could see traces of permed hair.
The first button of her uniform shirt collar was undone, and the bow tie was slightly loose.
She wore a necklace around her neck.
Her full bust pushed out the uniform into a proud curve.
The hem of her skirt was slightly higher than others'.
Although she wore relatively heavy makeup, it was evident that her features were outstanding, far exceeding those of an average person.
Her overall attire gave off a 'gal' vibe.
Standing to Miura Yumiko's right was Ebina Hina.
She had shoulder-length black hair and wore red-framed glasses.
While her facial features were not as striking as Miura Yumiko's and Yui Yuigahama's, they were neat and delicate.
Her figure was average.
Her defining characteristic was her 'fujoshi' nature, her obsession with male relationships.
The 'popular girl trio' in the Oregairu worldview had undoubtedly gathered together.
The trio centered around Miura Yumiko, who was also the most popular among the male students.
Yui Yuigahama came second, and Ebina Hina was the least popular.
Among the trio, Lin Bai (Student) primarily knew only Miura Yumiko and Yui Yuigahama.
He knew Ebina Hina because of the other two, so they were also considered casual friends.
Lin Bai (Student) first met Miura Yumiko when she proactively invited him to play tennis during PE class.
Their relationship gradually grew closer through this.
As for Yui Yuigahama...
It was because during the first holiday after enrollment, Lin Bai (Student) coincidentally helped her catch her dog that had escaped its leash.
The dog's name was Sabure.
After exchanging greetings, Miura Yumiko spoke up and asked:
"Lin Bai (Student), have you fully recovered?"
Yui Yuigahama, standing nearby, also showed concern in her eyes.
Although they were already friends with Lin Bai (Student), they hadn't actually exchanged contact information yet.
Miura Yumiko had originally made up her mind to ask Lin Bai (Student) for his contact information after some hesitation.
However, it just so happened that...
The next day, Lin Bai (Student) didn't come to school; he was sick and took a leave of absence.
So, during the days Lin Bai (Student) was absent, she had no way to send him messages of concern.
She didn't know how his condition was.
Fortunately, Lin Bai (Student) returned to school today.
And he looked full of energy, still as handsome as ever.
No, he was even more handsome.
Looking at Lin Bai's seemingly flawless face up close, Miura Yumiko suddenly felt her heart race.
Actually, on the first day of school when she saw Lin Bai (Student), she felt a sense of love at first sight for him.
That's why she took the initiative to talk to him during PE class.
After spending time together at school, her good feelings for Lin Bai (Student) had continuously grown.
Upon realizing her strange feelings for Lin Bai (Student), she knew she had fallen for him.
Sometimes, it's that simple.
Especially for teenagers in their prime.
Since she liked Lin Bai (Student), Miura Yumiko also made up her mind to bridge the gap between them.
And confess when the time was right.
"Thank you for your concern."
After thanking them, Lin Bai (Student) looked at them, smiled, and said:
"My issues have been completely resolved, no need to worry. I'm full of energy now."
"That's great."
Hearing Lin Bai (Student) say that, Miura Yumiko quietly breathed a sigh of relief, a brilliant smile on her face.
Yui Yuigahama also felt relieved at his words, and her smile became a little happier.
At this moment, Ebina Hina smiled and said:
"Lin Bai (Student), when you were sick and absent from school, Yumiko was really worried about you."
"She wanted to ask about your condition but realized she didn't have your contact information, so she had no choice but to wait until today to find you."
"Ebina!"
Hearing this, Miura Yumiko's pretty face flushed slightly as she glared at her.
She seemed to be scolding her for 'talking nonsense'.
Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama looked at Miura Yumiko, then at Lin Bai (Student), and lowered her head slightly.
She wondered what she was thinking.
Her smile seemed to have faded a little.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai (Student) looked at Ebina Hina, who was giving Miura Yumiko an apologetic smile, and subtly curved his lips.
He understood her intentions.
So he looked at Miura Yumiko, smiled slightly, and said:
"Speaking of which, we haven't exchanged contact information yet. As friends, that's a bit inappropriate."
"Since that's the case, let's exchange them now."
Saying this, he took out his phone.
"Okay!"
Hearing this, Miura Yumiko also disregarded her shyness and happily took out her phone.
The two quickly finished exchanging contact information.
Email and LINE.
Lin Bai (Student) looked at Yui Yuigahama and Ebina Hina: "Why aren't you taking out your phones? What are you waiting for?"
"Huh, us too?!"
Ebina Hina was a little surprised.
Lin Bai (Student) said with a teasing smile: "What, are we still not considered friends?"
"If that's the case, I'd be a little sad."
"How could that be? That's completely untrue."
However, Yui Yuigahama quickly explained upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Ebina Hina seemed to notice something, and her eyes behind her glasses narrowed slightly.
Then she said with a beaming smile: "Then let's exchange too."
Saying this, she took out her phone.
Next, Lin Bai (Student) exchanged email and LINE with Ebina Hina and Yui Yuigahama.
The four chatted for a while, then the class bell rang, and Miura Yumiko and the other two returned to their seats.
The math teacher entered the classroom with textbooks and began the lesson.
Time, like a gentle breeze caressing the treetops, flew by in an instant.
Lunch break arrived.
Lin Bai (Student) took out his phone and sent a message to Yotsuya Miko.
"See you in thirty minutes."
