even if he didn't work in the future, she could work to support him herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, seeing the picture of him with Saionji Nanase, her heart was completely messed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase’s appearance didn't lose to hers, and standing beside Xia Xia Xia Mujun, they looked so well-matched that it wouldn't be strange to call them a couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, it was after school, and a man and a woman were visiting clubs together, which was already enough to make people imagine...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Saionji Nanase really be Xia Xia Xia Mujun's girlfriend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he did have a decline in family fortune, but just used this as an excuse to politely reject her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Tsukishima Rin’s heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by something, so uncomfortable that she could barely breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she couldn't hold back and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good afternoon, Xia Xia Xia Mujun.\" She greeted softly, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun was slightly startled, not expecting her to take the initiative to greet him, but it was hard not to respond at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good afternoon, Senior Tsukishima.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin’s gaze turned to the girl beside him, trying to keep her voice steady: \"Who is this person by your side?\" ===== CHAPTER 77 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is my classmate, Saionji Nanase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase blinked her lively eyes, stunned for a moment before finally reacting to the subtle situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fair cheeks were instantly dyed with a faint blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't expected at all that the first club she brought Xia Xia Xia Mujun to would be the orchestra department where Senior Tsukishima Rin was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just at lunch break, this Senior Tsukishima had just confessed to Xia Xia Xia Mujun and been rejected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she appeared here with him, the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase bowed in a panic, greeting politely with standard honorifics:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Senior Tsukishima, I am Saionji Nanase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin’s gaze flowed between the two, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but pursue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two came over, are you also looking for a club you like like other students...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is my desk mate, and neither of us has a club we particularly want to join for the time being, so we came over to take a look together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase nodded vigorously, echoing somewhat naturally:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! That's exactly it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Tsukishima Rin breathed a slight sigh of relief, a smile finally appearing on her face as she turned to Saionji Nanase:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, Saionji-san, are you interested in experiencing the instruments of our club?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed to several instruments placed beside the stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have experience instruments prepared for beginners here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase’s eyes lit up instantly, her hands unconsciously clasped in front of her chest, her pupils slightly dilated from excitement, her voice filled with joy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, by all means, let me try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin signaled to a club member behind her who was also a first-year freshman:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are in the same grade as Saionji-san, please guide her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That member didn't refuse—after all, assisting with recruitment was also part of the club's tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase was immediately gripped by curiosity, following that member to the instrument area full of curiosity and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending Saionji Nanase away, Tsukishima Rin turned around, bit her lip slightly, and stared at Xia Xia Xia Mujun’s eyes calmly and unblinkingly for a long time, but didn't say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun felt a bit uncomfortable being looked at by her, thinking about her \"violin,\" and decided to explore it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed slightly, trying to break the silence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, I'm suddenly a bit thirsty, I'll go to the school's convenience store to buy water first, you continue to be busy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls to the side who had been listening with their ears pricked up to watch the excitement immediately handed over a bottle of mineral water enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment, junior, we have water here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun waved his hand somewhat awkwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... thank you, senior, but I want to drink some lemon tea now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, that group of girls seemed to have been prepared, pulling a box of lemon tea from behind them like magic, stuffing it into his hand without question, their smiles cunning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have it, junior, we have it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked down at the lemon tea that appeared out of thin air in his hand and fell into a brief silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin looked at his helpless appearance and couldn't help but let out a light \"pfft\" laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, she took the initiative to reach out, gently grabbed Xia Xia Xia Mujun’s wrist, and took him behind the teaching building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were few people here, which could cleverly separate most of the curious gazes, no longer exposed to the public eye like just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin raised her head, her gaze burning, looking straight into Xia Xia Xia Mujun’s eyes frankly, her voice clear and firm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia Xia Xia Mujun, actually... after I went back, I asked some classmates from your former school about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After understanding some of your situation, I finally understood why you replied to me like that at the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I also realized that my rash confession was indeed too reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doing that without understanding you must have caused you trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone deepened, carrying an unquestionable sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My feelings are true and real, without half a lie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, a complex expression appearing on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in this situation now, if I say 'I don't mind your situation, I will wait for you forever' again, it would sound very strange, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin took a deep breath, as if she had made some kind of determination, straightened her back, and said generously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this time—let's start over, let's get to know each other from zero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling, and her cheeks quickly dyed with a deeper blush after the words were spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During this period, it's fine if you go to know other girls... and I, will also use my way... to conquer you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really like you, so I will definitely make you like me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing this declaration-like statement, Tsukishima Rin’s face was already as red as a ripe apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That heart that was originally calm and waveless was now beating violently in her chest, the sound of the thumping almost breaking her eardrums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw Xia Xia Xia Mujun seemed to want to speak to respond, and fearing to hear a rejection, she reached out and gently covered his mouth in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The action was so fast that even she herself was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I am Tsukishima Rin, seventeen years old this year, I am your senior...\" =====
