Anyway, now that we've confirmed that the other person is our classmate, even if the first meeting wasn't pleasant, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!
To my surprise, after finally introducing myself and successfully gaining admission to the JS graduate program, I was informed of some news... Our young master, I'm sorry, he's gone back to his hometown.
Shijou Maki's pupils trembled.
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
Ah~! ...No matter! She's strong; at least compared to before, she has hope now!
Wait! Just wait!
Wait until the afternoon.
Shijo Maki quietly went to the Go Club because Luo Chen had a match at 3 o'clock, and she felt that he was very likely to go to the match directly without returning to the JS Research Institute.
As a result, the outcome of waiting for Luo Chen here was exactly the same as the previous days: she could see Luo Chen, but she couldn't touch him at all!
There are too many people!!
……
"Oh~~~"
Shijo Maki felt like her whole life had lost its color. After working so hard for so long, she couldn't even do a small task assigned by her grandfather properly.
How could she be so stupid?
And he's also incredibly unlucky!
For example, just three days ago, she was able to get a small piece of paper that flew out of nowhere to hit her on her way to the infirmary.
"I really am here, doing something~"
There was a pop.
Shijo Maki lay sprawled on the ground, arms and legs outstretched, wanting to give up completely, to drift off to sleep for a while, to cut herself off from this cold world...
If you don't think about anything, you can probably at least get some comfort and happiness.
Thinking this, Shijou Maki smiled contentedly and slowly closed her eyes. However, the next moment, her calf was suddenly pressed down hard by a heavy object...
“Ah~!!!”
Chapter 122 But, I'm still so wronged! Waaah!
An undisguised scream suddenly burst from his throat.
Shijo Maki almost reflexively knelt down and arched her back, breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain. She turned her head in shock and anger, glaring at the culprit.
?(╬▔ Pan▔)?! ! !
Who is it? What a jerk! She's already in such a terrible situation, why does he have to come and make things worse? Oh my god... Pfft!
The eyes, wide with anger, quickly calmed down.
Without him!
Why is the guy standing in front of her the one she's been desperately searching for all week?!
"Ahem, sorry, I didn't see anyone on the ground and stepped on them. Are you alright?"
Luo Chen coughed awkwardly twice and asked.
He certainly recognized Shijou Maki, but he couldn't understand why this young lady was lying on the ground in such a pathetic state, like a dead dog that had lost its dreams.
If the other person hadn't been lying down, he wouldn't have stepped on them without noticing.
Shijo Maki gritted her teeth, swallowing all her grievances.
I frantically told myself not to get angry, not to get angry, because this was the advisor that Grandpa wanted to take down.
Hold it in! Hold it in! Smile, seize this hard-won opportunity, and immediately greet them properly and... No!!
I can't hold it in any longer!
I feel wronged, so wronged!
The more Shijo Maki thought about it, the more her grievances accumulated over the past few days became. In the end, her big eyes stared at Luo Chen, and as she looked at him, she burst into tears with a loud woof.
"Wow~!"
Shijo Maki sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face, completely overwhelmed with grief, crying her heart out.
Luo Chen was caught off guard!
This guy……
what?
He accidentally stepped on someone's foot, and strictly speaking, it was the other person who was lying on the ground blocking his way, so the blame wasn't on him.
As a result, she immediately burst into tears?
Luo Chen didn't think the daughter of the Shijo family would try to extort money from him, but on the other hand, the whole thing was too strange.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble," Luo Chen pretended not to see it, decisively moved aside, and continued walking around.
Shijo Maki was stunned.
And she felt even more wronged!
This guy, this guy! I've been searching for him for eight days, feeling frustrated for eight days, and today I was attacked by this guy again. He just ran away without saying a word?
A guy who lets a girl cry her heart out and just pretends to ignore her is the worst kind of guy ever!
However, I can't let him go yet!
Without hesitation, Shijo Maki hugged Luo Chen's leg and continued to wail, venting her grievances and wiping all her tears on Luo Chen's trouser leg.
Luo Chen: "..."
If he could have escaped just now, Shijou Maki's actions clearly demonstrate one fact: she's stuck with him!
"In the end what you want?"
"If it's about me stepping on you, I can apologize to you again, but could you please let go first, or stop crying, otherwise people might misunderstand."
Luo Chen had no choice but to squat down.
Shijo Maki wiped away her tears, looked at Luo Chen with teary eyes, and said, "Then let's find another place to talk."
……
5 minute later.
Student Union Office.
Although this is my first time using this place, I have to say, the student council office at Sooji College is really big!
Magnificent and imposing.
The president's desk, coffee table, sofa, open space, and so on, make up a large conference room of at least 50 square meters.
After searching for a while, Luo Chen finally found a teapot and tea leaves in a small tea table.
Boil water and brew hot tea.
Luo Chen handed a steaming cup of tea to Shijo Maki, who was sitting on the sofa.
By this time, Shijou Maki had calmed down considerably.
At least she stopped crying and making a fuss.
Aside from her slightly red eyes, she also had some dark circles under her eyes.
After accepting the hot tea from Luo Chen, Shijo Maki's opinion of Luo Chen improved somewhat; he wasn't as terrible as she had imagined.
"Thank you."
Shijo Maki held the teacup in both hands and bowed her head as she spoke.
"Tell me, why do you insist on talking somewhere else? Is there something special you want to tell me? But I don't think I've ever seen you before."
Luo Chen sat on the sofa opposite Shijo Maki, staring at her indifferently, easily taking control of the conversation.
Shijo Maki initially wanted to take it back, but upon discovering that Luo Chen seemed to possess an exceptionally strong aura, she pursed her lips and gave up.
She decided to confront them.
She never wanted to suffer like those eight days again.
So what if Grandpa really labels me a useless granddaughter? So what?
She's already strong enough! Really!!
“Luo Chen-jun, I’ve been watching your matches these past few days,” said Shijou Maki.
Luo Chen asked in surprise, "So, you're a fan?"
“No.” Shijo Maki shook her head and said sincerely, “I don’t know if you still remember the Shinomiya family dinner you attended nine days ago.”
Luo Chen was puzzled: "But I didn't see you that day either, did I?"
Shijo Maki said, "That's not important. What's important is that my grandfather hopes to recruit you and make you a staff member of the Shijo family."
