Knowing that she was in the wrong, Karuizawa Kei stammered twice and finally uttered a sentence.
"Well, you can't wear pants, right? Wearing a skirt is the last bit of modesty a girl can have."
"Then just wait until summer to be reserved. It's okay to be unreserved in winter." Wu Yi raised his hand and tapped the girl on the forehead.
"In fact, wearing pantyhose is also a good choice."
Kushida Kikyo stuck her mouth out and slightly hooked her calf back to signal.
"It's quite warm, and it doesn't make your legs look thick. It looks almost the same as stockings."
"Well, I'll think about it..."
The three of them just walked and chatted casually.
Unconsciously, the chill of the night quietly receded, and they finally arrived at the main entrance of the first floor of the brightly lit dormitory building. The warm air as pleasant as a spring breeze was pouring out of the open hall door.
Karuizawa Kei's legs, which were originally frozen to the point of having goose bumps, were instantly relieved.
"Wow~ I'm saved~"
"Don't worry about being saved. Next time you go out, remember to dress warmly. There's no air conditioning outside to warm you up."
If there is, it must be called global warming.
Wu Yi added in his heart.
"I know~" The girl pouted a little bit coquettishly.
The moment he stepped onto the stairs and entered the room, Wu Yi's eyes flashed slightly. He suddenly noticed a familiar figure sitting on a public chair against the wall in the lobby on the first floor. He was holding a can of hot coffee, which should have been bought from the vending machine next to it, and was sipping it in small sips.
The golden sunflower hairpin is the first thing that comes into view.
Huh?
Wu Yi suddenly stopped and looked at the notice posted on the glass window behind him, then turned back and looked in the direction of the public seats.
"Huh? Why is Asahina-senpai here? Logically, shouldn't she live in the second-year dormitory? Is she here to look for someone?"
"Well, that's about right."
He drank the remaining coffee in the can in his hand, then stood up and walked over. In front of Karuizawa Megumi and Kushida Kikyo, he came to Wu Yi and tilted his head to gesture towards the door.
"Do you have time to talk to me?"
Emmmmm, I didn't expect that he was here to find me...
Before Wu Yi could speak, Kikyo Kushida stepped forward first.
"Well... Asahina-senpai, it's already so late. If you have anything to say, why don't we talk about it tomorrow? There are still a few days left in the winter vacation, so any time is fine, right?"
"Yeah yeah."
Karuizawa Kei also joined in.
Asahina scratched her hair helplessly.
"Well, you guys are making me sound like a bad guy. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I just have something important to say. Um... it's about Nanyun."
"Nagumo?"
Wu Yi raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Yes."
Asahina nodded, and turned to look at the scattered students walking towards the dormitory building on the night street outside the door.
"The conversation won't be long, but if we talk about it here it will inevitably attract other people's attention, so if possible I'd like to change the place."
"Ok."
Since the other party had said so much, Wu Yi naturally could not refuse anymore, so he simply agreed.
He turned to Karuizawa Megumi and Kushida Kikyo.
"Then you guys go up first. I'll go out and talk to my senior."
"……Um."
"Then we'll go up first."
After a little thought, the two girls nodded at the same time.
Just as she was about to turn around and go upstairs, Kikyo Kushida suddenly turned back and pointed at the plastic bag in Wu Yi's hand.
"By the way, can I help you get the tea leaves and other things up there?"
"Oh ok, thank you."
Handing over the two handbags in his hands and watching the two girls get on the elevator, Wu Yi nodded to Asahina outside.
"Then... let's go?"
"Walk."
Without any extra words, Asahina turned and walked out of the dormitory building, and Wu Yi followed slowly with his hands in his pockets.
It was a familiar route. The two of them crossed the green belt near the dormitory building and soon arrived at a park promenade along the sea.
That’s right, it was the path that Kushida Kikyo used to vent her anger in the beginning.
After more than half a year, this place is still the same. Looking around, there is no one around. The cold sea breeze blows on the face, and dark waves are rising on the sea.
"Okay, now that we're here, you can just say whatever you want to say, right?" Wu Yi said.
"Um……"
Asahina placed her hands on the railing, half turned her body to look at Wu Yi who was standing right behind her.
"Do you remember the vote yesterday afternoon? Many of you first-year students should have voted for the girl named Ichinose, right?"
“Not a lot, right?”
Wu Yi counted on his fingers.
"One for me, one for Kikyo, one for Arisu, one for Kanzaki, and one for Kudzu Bald. At least five of us first-years voted for her."
"That's right."
Asahina took a deep breath and turned to face the sea.
"I remember there were six votes in total, right? I actually cast the last vote because I knew they would definitely vote for me. I saw your attitude at the time and guessed that you would vote for Ichinose. I guess it was out of some thought of shirking responsibility, so I tried to vote for her."
"And now she is really chosen, so you start to regret it?" Wu Yi tried to guess.
"Of course not."
Asahina shook her head.
"I'm just a little worried."
"Worry?"
"Well, based on my understanding of Miyabi, he will definitely find ways to deal with Ichinose after learning about this. I can't guess the specific method, but it will definitely happen. You can say that I am faking guilt, but I am indeed responsible for her election, and I really don't want to see her get hurt because of this..."
Asahina paused for a moment, and the hairpin on her head swayed gently in the evening breeze like a real sunflower.
Under the street light, the girl's eyes were serious and persistent.
"So, if you can, I hope you can protect her."
Volume 246: Chapter Kikyo Brand Champagne~
The conversation between Wu Yi and Asahina didn't last long.
About a quarter of an hour later, in the first-year dormitory building, the barrier-free elevator started moving up.
Wu Yi leaned lazily against the elevator wall, staring at the numbers on the control panel jumping from one to another, and then to another.
Protect Ichinose...
When Wu Yi recalled the conversation with Asahina just now, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
He thought that since the other party said so, he could provide some reference information, such as Nan Yun's usual tricks.
After all, since they are set to be childhood sweethearts, they should have some understanding of each other's thinking patterns.
What's the result? He knows nothing about anything. It's better not to ask.
Oh no, it can't be said that she knows nothing. Asahina at least knows a little bit, but the conclusion she finally summarized based on what she knows is this.
——Nan Yun is a psychopath. If someone thinks that his thinking is logical, then that person must be a psychopath like Nan Yun.
Because only psychopaths can understand each other.
"Forget it, let's just wait and see."
Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Yi strode out of the elevator with a ding sound as the system prompted that he had arrived at the designated floor.
However, just as he walked to the door of his dormitory and was about to take out the access card from his pocket, Wu Yi suddenly stopped.
The reason was simple: he saw light shining through the crack in the door below.
Ah~ Could it be?
As if realizing something, Wu Yi swiped the access code and pushed the door open.
All the lights in the room were on. There was tea in packaging bags on the desk, but no other handbags were seen nearby.
The bathroom door was half-open, and exceptionally bright light shone through the frosted glass. The sounds of water and the heater working could be heard from inside.
The next second, the bathroom door was pushed open slightly, and Kikyo Kushida poked her head out. Seeing that it was Wu Yi, she curled her lips and walked out of the door... Of course, she was not wearing any clothes that were too stimulating to make people unable to control themselves. She simply took off her heavy coat, rolled up the sleeves of her turtleneck sweater, and there were spots of water stains on her hands.
The girl came up to him, expressionlessly clenched her fist and punched someone on the chest, then switched back to her inner voice.
"Why are you coming back now?"
"talent?"
Wu Yi felt that this statement was somewhat exaggerated.
"Not long, maybe... a quarter of an hour at most?"
"It was seventeen minutes."
Kushida Kikyo snorted softly, and punched up again with a pink fist that seemed more like a coquettish gesture than a vent of anger.
After she hit him, she did not put her fist down, but placed it on Wu Yi's chest, and moved her whole body close to him.
"Well, so what did the senior sister say to you late at night?"
"It's nothing..."
"Um!?"
"…You really want to know?"
Looking at the inexplicably persistent girl in front of him, Wu Yi touched his chin.
And Kushida Kikyo answered him with her eyes.
"Well, Asahina-san came to me and told me about Nagumo..."
After briefly describing the reason why Asahina came to find him, Wu Yi roughly recounted the previous conversation on the walkway in the seaside park.
After listening to the whole thing and not finding anything suspicious, Kikyo Kushida felt relieved, but she was still a little suspicious.
"That's it?"
"Yeah, that's it."
Wu Yi spread his hands.
"swear?"
"swear."
"...Okay, I believe you."
After confirming again and again, Kikyo Kushida finally felt relieved. She stood on tiptoe, raised her arms, wrapped them around her neck, and hugged her chest to hers.
Wu Yi also lowered his head slightly to accommodate her, put his big hands around the girl's slender and soft waist, and lowered his voice.
"What, what do you want?"
"I want compensation~"
Kushida Kikyo spoke each word with great emphasis, her breath as fragrant as orchid.
