Bai Lu choked for a moment, almost thinking he had been seen through.

She subconsciously looked back at Hinata Xiangyang's piercing eyes, as if she could look straight into her own soul through the other's gaze, making people feel a trace of burning heat that was about to be scalded for no reason.

Faced with such a candid gaze, she instinctively did not want to refute against her will.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I have no other meaning, if it bothers you, you don't need to answer at all!"

Noticing that the girl fell into silence, the orange-haired boy, who hadn't realized it just now, came back to his senses, and hurriedly made a 90° deep bow.

There were three beads of sweat on the top of his head, and he said in a messy order: "I just thought, I hope Bailu-san can relax too, because I am worried that you will encounter something unhappy or something, ah, I'm sorry! That's, uh......"

Hinata Xiangyang covered his face: "Bailu Sang Mingming is so enthusiastic to help me throw the ball, but I always say rude things to you."

"I really don't have anything that I really like."

"Eh?"

Bai Lu put the volleyball on his index finger and tried to spin it a few times with his fingertips. The boy's explanation was interrupted by a calm voice.

Even though she hasn't played volleyball many times, she can already easily play with her fingertips. The girl who answered the questions seriously, her pale pear-colored eyes rarely showed a bit of indifference in front of the Raiders.

"You're right. I don't like volleyball very much, but I don't hate it much either."

"It's just a very ordinary feeling. A little bit is because friends are fighting."

"Ha...!" Hinata Xiangyang nodded blankly, facing Bai Lu's tone which was completely different from before, he opened his mouth a little at a loss.

The young girl with a bit of her nature had a natural expression, her soft and slender hair curled up beautifully with the breeze, and that already bright and charming face revealed another flavor because of the casualness in her eyes.

"but……"

She stopped the spinning volleyball, with a slight smile on her face: "Playing volleyball with Mr. Xiangyang is more interesting than I imagined, and it's not so difficult."

"If Xiangyang-kun likes it, I will try my best to make myself like volleyball."

There was a smile in her eyes, and her tone softened a lot.

...

The air was silent for a while.

"boom"

Hinata Xiangyang's delicate face turned into a cooked red-legged shrimp again like a steam engine, and the originally opened mouth directly turned into rolling wavy circles, and he almost fell back and fainted on the ground.

...it seems a little too strong.

Bai Lu hurriedly wanted to help him, but the other party took several steps back abruptly, jumping high like a spring, shaking his head vigorously and nodding vigorously: "So that's the case, really surprised! Why is it for me?..."

"but."

"Sang Bai Lu looks much more relaxed than before."

"That's great."

The orange-haired boy looked at the girl with bright eyes, and he bent his eyes to reveal a big smile, his white teeth were conspicuous and eye-catching.

Like the dazzling sunlight, even the surrounding environment is brightened.

Bai Lu fought with Hinata Xiangyang for about half an hour, and broke up with the other party just before 4 pm.

"Mr. Xiangyang, do you want to change your contact information?"

Before leaving, the girl took out her mobile phone and consciously turned on the strategy mode: "I'm temporarily living in Tokyo, and I plan to go to my hometown to see my grandma later."

"Eh?!! Tokyo!"

Hearing Tokyo, the eyes of Hinata Xiangyang, who was still a little unsatisfied, burst into light again, like a natural king of support. The most important thing is that the admiration in his eyes is completely unadulterated: "It's amazing, it turns out that Bai Lu-san lives in Tokyo.City?"

"My cell phone number is this, hehe... so happy."

The young man's cheeks were flushed, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously showed a "v". The soft hair gently blowing in the wind looked like a small dog wagging its tail.

...It's really cute, like the brother next door.

It was the first time for Bai Lu to meet this type of boy. She bid farewell to him with complicated emotions. When she left, she felt that her previous series of actions were not in line with her normal business model.

But Hinata Xiangyang is really too frank, such a sunny and cheerful boy, she really can't make too hypocritical and flattering gestures.

Or prescribe the right medicine.

"System: Dangdangdangdang——Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden task: Pair practice in a remote corner, and getting a trial period prize: Love Potion (valid for 7 days)."

"ing..."

"System: The reward is being issued to you, please check it in time."

what the hell.

Bai Lu, who had already boarded the subway again, raised his head and stared inexplicably at the sudden notification sound, which he had never heard before.

"System: Because passing the ball to Hinata Xiangyang in junior high school is a hidden mission!"

"System: The player completed it by surprise. I have reminded you before that more contact with the protagonist may trigger the plot, and sometimes you can get unexpected rewards."

"..."

What is that love potion?

Bai Lu was not too excited, she silently opened the prize column to investigate this thing.

"Love Potion: It can make the selected person fall in love with you instantly, the favorability can reach 100%, and the validity period will last for 7 days."

100% favorability?!

"System: That's right~ We added a lot of new content after the update, because the players haven't fully started the official period, this time the small prize is just a trial product."

...If I use this item, will the character with 100% favorability because of the potion count as a successful strategy?

"System: Huh? Of course."

"System: As long as the player can clear the third character within the validity period, your mission will be considered complete!"

"System: There will be many more rewards like this in the future. Tomorrow, the main system will be completely refreshed, and the official strategy mode will start."

"I underestimated you."

Bai Lu showed surprise on his face, and for the first time changed his attitude towards the system's indifference to answers, although...it seems a bit despicable to directly use potions to fix people or something.

If it was facing Hinata Xiangyang who had a good chat with her just now, she might not be able to deal with it.

"System: Hey, the target players can be set freely, and there will be many opportunities in the future."

"I'll think about it."

Bai Lu left the subway in a delicate mood, and the sudden reward hit the people too quickly. She was excited for a moment, then regained her composure, and her brain returned to a rational state.

After all... this thing is too unreliable.

You can try to use it, but it is only a test.

Relying on things is worse than relying on yourself. Instead of pinning your hopes on weird props, Bai Lu prefers to rely on his own strength to fight steadily.

It made no difference to her anyway.

Carrying fruit and walking across the street opposite the subway exit, the girl's vague memory finally became clearer, and she remembered that walking 50 meters forward would lead to a turning.

She walked around the turning while remembering, but the things around her suddenly stopped, the colors of the world faded, and a little monk-headed boy with a schoolbag appeared in front of her.

"System: Accidentally got on the wrong tram, and ran into a little boy on the way to grandma's house in a hurry. What did you decide to say to him as you were worried about the child?"

A, kid, why are you here alone?

B. Hello, do you know where the 7-11 convenience store is?

C. I am your brother's girlfriend, come with me.

D. Ignore, leave.

"..."

Bai Lu immediately wanted to choose to ignore and leave.

But she overcame the inner turmoil, took a deep breath, and gradually began to analyze the new options. The hint of C was already obvious.

related.

First try to see what characters you can meet, and ask for directions...

If remember correctly, the 7-11 convenience store is not far from grandmother's house.

"Hello."

Raising his hand and clicking B, Bai Lu walked towards the child without any muddle, with a friendly smile on his delicate and perfect face: "Do you know where the 7-11 convenience store is?"

"hold head high?"

The boy who was accosted raised his head. He looked like he was only 5 or 6 years old, maybe a little younger...

"Convenience store? I know, just go ahead for a while and turn left twice."

"Is that so? Thank you."

Bai Lu looked at him a little surprised. She didn't expect the child to describe it so clearly, and his brain looked as bright as his hairstyle. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to ask: "Little brother, why are you standing here alone?"with?"

"That guy Che is lost, I'll wait for him here."

Bai Lu: "..."

She couldn't help but look again at the boy with the crew cut in front of her.

Why, there are so many slots in his words.

There is also the name "Toru". If he guessed correctly, Bai Lu subconsciously remembered the character he had seen at his grandmother's house last time.

"Huh? Who got lost, and call me uncle properly!"

As if confirming her inner thoughts, a frivolous male voice that she heard in memory sounded from behind her, a tall boy with short brown hair came over speechlessly, with a freshly dismantled stick in his mouth.Sealed milk-colored popsicles, with one hand in the pocket, slightly raised the sharp and thin jaw with smooth and distinct lines.

It's Oikawa Toru.

That peacock boy who feels very troublesome.

"That's right, it's Toru that you suddenly said that you want to eat popsicles for children, so let me wait here."

The little boy who was accused was not afraid, and even ridiculed with a blank face: "Halfway, I suddenly chased the old man who was riding a bicycle and ran away. So, do you like that kind of milk-flavored popsicle for children?"

Oikawa Toru: "..."

Bai Lu: "..."

[System: The favorability of the strategy character "Oikawa Toru" -1.】

"?"

Bai Lu almost thought she heard it wrong, she glanced at the favorability summary table uncertainly, and the corners of her eyes twitched slightly...

What's the matter with her being exposed by this guy's nephew??

Although the favorability of the other party is not that important.

The only thing that surprised her was the little boy. It turned out that Oikawa Toru had such a big nephew. According to the content of option C... she thought it was his brother.

Unwilling to look away, Bai Lu silently took a step back, nodded towards the two as if he didn't know each other, turned around and planned to leave.

"Ah! Wait, wait, wait."

"Sagi sauce, long time no see." The handsome boy with curly hair stretched out Erkang's hand, he took out the children's popsicle in his mouth, and stuffed another unopened strawberry flavor into his nephew's armsHe hurriedly caught up with the girl who was about to turn around.

"I haven't contacted you since that day—" His lowered eyes glanced at the fruit in Bai Lu's hand, and his hearty tone lightened slightly: "Are you here to see my mother-in-law?"

"...Yes, what's the matter? Oikawa-senpai."

A distant smile appeared on Bai Lu's pretty face. Her expression was as pure and gentle as before, but the words she asked were not warm.

"So cold—"

Oikawa Toru immediately looked injured. Although he said so, his handsome expression was not affected at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Do you remember where my mother-in-law's house is? I just want to take Xiaomeng back, ah.”

"Xiao Meng is my nephew, because it is the weekend, so I just picked him up and brought him back to our house."

He explained the identity of his nephew, and extended his hand in a friendly way: "We happen to be traveling together, shall we go back together?"

"System: What a coincidence, I happened to meet Oikawa Toru and his nephew on the way to grandma. Faced with the boy's invitation, do you decide?"

A. agree

B. to refuse

C. Inquire about Iwaizumi's whereabouts

Bai Lu: "..."

Apart from being a bit troublesome, there seems to be no reason to refuse.

Of course, option C clearly reminded herself that if she really met a familiar strategy character, she would rather meet Iwaizumi than Oikawa Toru.

Forget it...choose C directly.

It can also increase favorability, but it's just a matter of taking the character's branch line. The boy with the hedgehog head is definitely better than this guy.

"Oikawa-senpai, I remember Iwaizumi-senpai also lives nearby, do you know where he is?"

"Eh."

Oikawa Toru blinked his eyes, probably not expecting that Bai Lu would mention a certain young girl, and his tone was a bit confused: "For Little Yan, um...should be at home?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just ask." Bai Lu said with a smile on his lips unchanged: "In that case, I'd better go by myself. I have already asked Mr. Xiaomeng for the way, and I know how to get there."

...

"Pfft—Che got dumped."

Standing next to the two of them, the little boy who lowered his head and unwrapped the strawberry-flavored popsicle suddenly couldn't help but "poof" and interrupted their conversation.

"..."

The smile on the corner of Oikawa Toru's mouth almost didn't hold back. He resisted the threat of confiscating his nephew's popsicle. Junxiu's cheeks kept the last strength, and his eyebrows were raised simply: "Xiaomeng, this guy doesn't even remember his way homeIt's better for Xiaolu not to believe it lightly."

"Speaking of which, Xiaolu will take this route. Could it be that you came here by subway No. 4?"

Just as Bai Lu was about to reply boringly, the handsome boy with a coffee hair continued to speak: "Actually, it's closer to take the H6 tram. Get off and walk for about 10 minutes to get home. If you are not familiar with the route, you can follow us."It’s better to go together, ah, do you mean Xiaolu, are you taking H5?”

...

Mentioning this embarrassing incident, the first time she encountered a series of plots because of taking the wrong car, the girl silently looked away, and finally showed a faint smile: "No."

"Huh? Really."

"No."

"But you came from the intersection here, I remember it was connected to..."

"It's really annoying, Oikawa-senpai."

Maintaining a perfect smile, Bai Lu suddenly tucked the broken hair behind his ears, and the soft hair slid down along with the movement, and his light pear-colored eyes, which were slightly covered by bangs, once again shone with impatience.

There is no difference from what said last time.

[System: Raider character "Oikawa Toru" favorability +3.】

"..."

He really is shaking M, right?
