Chapter 137: What did he go to do?

When the girls all left.

Xiyuanji Qilai gently picked up a notebook from the drawer and placed it on Natsume Chikage's desk.

"Natsume-kun, this is the notes from yesterday's class."

"I have carefully recorded the key points on it."

Natsume Chikage was slightly startled; although he didn't really need it, he didn't refuse either.

After all, he did miss a day of classes.

With notes for reference, at least he could know where the teacher had lectured.

"Thanks."

Xiyuanji Qilai saw him accept the notes, blinked her lively eyes happily, and leaned forward slightly.

"Natsume-kun, are you working today?"

Natsume Chikage nodded:

"Mm."

Xiyuanji Qilai tilted her head, her hair swaying gently, and curiosity was revealed in her lively eyes:

"What time does it start?"

Natsume Chikage answered with a hint of confusion:

"Five o'clock."

"What's wrong?"

Xiyuanji Qilai clenched her fists happily:

"Since that's the case, it seems there's still time before work... Do you want to continue looking for a club like last time?"

"Teacher Sakai specifically reminded yesterday that today is already Thursday. If you don't find a club before Saturday, you will have your behavioral credits deducted."

"Many students in the class have found clubs in the past two days, and now there are probably less than ten people left who haven't decided."

"As far as I know, these ten people include me, Natsume-kun, and Lingyin."

"So we have to hurry!"

Natsume Chikage was also concerned about this matter and nodded gently.

"Mm, then let's go after school."

Saionji Kirai was very happy when she heard this, and looked up at Yukimura Reion in the front left:

"Lingyin, do you want to come together?"

The cold Yukimura Reion heard her name, slowly turned her head, and raised her long eyelashes slightly.

She was silent for a moment, seemingly seriously considering this proposal.

Always excellent in character and learning, she indeed didn't want to have her behavioral credits deducted.

But while thinking, her gaze drifted toward Natsume Chikage involuntarily.

If she were to go, naturally she would have to visit the club with this person.

And Natsume Chikage heard Xiyuanji Qilai's words and also naturally looked at Xuecun Lingyin.

At this very moment, the two people's gazes met in the air, and they recalled the 'accident' at the subway station just now.

Natsume Chikage and Xuecun Lingyin both maintained calmness on the surface, just looked at each other silently for two seconds, and then tacitly looked away at the same time.

Xiyuanji Qilai usually looks innocent and lively, but her sixth sense is terrifyingly strong.

She keenly captured the unusual atmosphere in these few seconds of silence and immediately asked curiously:

"Natsume-kun, Lingyin, did something happen between you two?"

"Why do I feel that the atmosphere between you two is... a bit strange compared to before?"

Xuecun Lingyin was asked this, and a blush appeared on her usually calm face, and she immediately frowned and denied:

"What nonsense are you talking about, stop guessing randomly there!"

Xiyuanji Qilai knew it was difficult to get an answer from Xuecun Lingyin, so she turned her curious gaze to Natsume Chikage and leaned toward him involuntarily.

"I'm very curious—please be sure to tell me!"

She leaned extremely close, so close that she could almost feel each other's breathing.

Natsume Chikage, who was originally expressionless, was caught off guard by her sudden approach, his cheeks turned slightly red, and his expression became unnatural.

He thought, what's wrong with this person?

Do normal people lean so close when asking questions?

At this moment in his eyes, Xiyuanji Qilai's lively eyes seemed to be shining with the light of stars, making him feel like prey targeted by a beast named "curiosity," and he froze in place for a moment.

Xuecun Lingyin wrinkled her nose and reached out to press Xiyuanji Qilai's forehead.

"How many times have I said, don't lean so close to people whenever you're curious!"

"It was fine when you were with me before, when did you start doing this to boys too?"

Xiyuanji Qilai then realized her lack of composure, her earlobes turned red instantly, and she sat back in her seat shyly, lowering her head and stammering:

"This... sorry, Natsume-kun, did I scare you just now?"

She explained seriously:

"However, I'm really curious."

"Because the usual Lingyin is really not like this!"

"She would be... ¥%¥&..."

Xuecun Lingyin covered her mouth directly and changed the subject:

"Didn't you just say you wanted me to accompany you to find a suitable club?"

"I thought about it, if there's nothing special, I can accompany you." ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
