"No, you can't."

Bai Lu rejected the opponent on the spot.

She took a step back, and the reason she originally wanted to explain was swallowed back in shock. The boy in front of her was too upright, and her words were too shocking.

It almost made her suspect that she had heard wrong.

"Why?"

"Because, I will not marry Ushishima-kun."

...

The air was quiet for a while.

Ushishima Ruori seemed to be silent for a long time, he quietly looked down at the girl, for some reason, he could hear a hint of depression in his lowered tone: "Oh."

The atmosphere between the two fell into silence again.

Bai Lu couldn't bear it, and directly opened the favorability of the other party, and carefully checked the value of this guy.

"Strategy Character 20"

Name: Ushishima Ruori

Grade: Senior Three

Birthday: August 13

Club position: volleyball team leader/main attacker

Favorite food: Beef risotto

Trouble: The girl who has just identified for the rest of her life does not want to marry herself.

Current character favorability: 95%

"..."

????

What's the situation, this trouble.

And his favorability is also very high, a full 95%, which is no less than that of any Raider character on the mainline (Wu Ye) map. This guy won't be able to reach more than 90 just because of a kiss, right??

"System: This is only part of the reason, player."

"System: When you first ran into someone, the sympathy level of the raider character No. 20 was quite high."

"System: It's just that he has a sullen face, and you didn't pay attention to the degree of favorability, so you didn't notice it."

"..."

It was she who was thinking about it.

I thought this guy was very similar to Tobio Kageyama, but there was a big difference.

Bai Lu held his forehead, if she kissed that guy in Yingshan on the forehead, he might just think that she was using her mouth to relieve his itching.

Ushishima Ruori is different, her thoughts are more delicate than imagined, and she also has a strong sense of responsibility.

"System: Well, that's not the case."

"System: Players will know when they go back and kiss Yingshan, hehe."

...Don't make any trouble.

Bai Lu turned off the favorability reminder in a complicated mood. Anyway, the matter has already happened, and how to treat others is a very serious problem.

She currently has no idea of starting the Shiratorizawa branch line, and her focus is on running the Wu Ye Volleyball Club, and it is impossible to temporarily change the target to Ushishima Wakari.

Moreover, Shiratorizawa and Aoba seem to be in frequent contact, which is no wonder, after all, both schools are in Sendai...

It's better to stay away from him for the time being, don't delay this guy.

"Feel sorry."

Bai Lu turned around resolutely, her slender body turned her back to the boy's tall and broad chest, she lowered her head: "I was too abrupt just now, please don't take it to heart, I'm very sorry."

"Then, I'm going back, goodbye."

"..."

Looking at the back of the girl who was about to leave, Ushijima Ruori stepped forward suddenly, and grabbed her wrist with a wide and rough hand: "Wait a minute."

"There is still a chance, shall we meet next time?"

The warm wind in May blew gently between the two of them, crushing the boy's sincere words in the wind.

please.

her guilt...

Bai Lu took a deep breath, endured it for a while, but still did not take out his hand, allowing the other party's hot palm to touch his skin, and earnest and low-pitched inquiries filled his ears.

With her usual personality, she will definitely put an end to all troubles and reject the other party, just like Black Tail Tetsuro stopped the strategy after 100%, and broke the relationship with this guy.

But she can't say serious things at all!

"See you in the game."

After leaving this sentence, Bai Lu retracted his arms without hesitation, and ran away quickly.

She shouldn't have entered Shiratori Ze.

"System: Player, you have healed your scar and forgot about the pain. Didn't you enter Shiratori Ze because you were not feeling well?"

"System: Listen to my advice, don't exercise next time, after all... ahem."

After all what.

Bai Lu almost forgot to ask the system to settle the score. She felt that she was going to die because of the pain in her heart, and she always felt that it all came from the ghost setting of the game.

That's suspicious, okay?

"System: I was wronged, we don't take the blame for this! Anyway, the player is better now."

...you better be.

Bai Lu twitched the corner of his mouth, too lazy to continue talking to the other party.

Her journey back was quite smooth. This time, there was no forced plot of the game, and naturally there was no setting of getting lost. She could leave the area of Shiratorizawa unimpeded by herself.

After I came out, because I almost met Oikawa Toru and the others, the girl learned a lesson, first found a nearby business hall, and got a new mobile phone card for herself with the certificate.

With a new SIM card, there is no need to keep the old one, she decisively took out her phone, planning to dig out the contents of the card slot...

"Jingle bell."

The phone screen suddenly lit up.

The monotonous ringtone is the same as before, and the small screen rarely displays a few large characters that have never appeared before——

Hinata Xiangyang.

"System: Unexpected launch!? A member of the club actually called himself, and looked at the abrupt caller ID of the other party, do you decide?"

A. connected

B. hang up

...

Almost forgot, Hinata Xiangyang has his own number.

The previous idea of "I don't know the phone number of any member" is a bit wrong. Bai Lu and Xiangyang exchanged emails a long time ago, and the other party is probably the only member of Wu Ye who knows his contact information.

He was able to find out the number and call, probably because he was worried about her safety?

It was a bit unreasonable not to answer, Bai Lu hesitated for two seconds, then swiped open the screen and connected the call: "Hello, hello."

"Hey, it's... Bai Lu-sang!"

"Well, it's me, what's the matter, Xiangyang?"

"Ah, that... where did you go? Everyone has returned to the apartment, only Bai Lusan hasn't come back yet. Are you lost? We are all worried!"

"I'm sorry, I got lost halfway through the run, and now I've gone back after asking the way."

Bai Lu had no choice but to panic, and left the business hall while holding up her mobile phone. In fact, she was not a liar, but she omitted the process of getting lost in the middle of the way to Bainiaoze and making a new call.

"Eh?!! Are you okay, where is Bai Lusang, do you need us to pick you up?"

"No need."

"I'm going to the apartment soon, sorry for worrying you."

After explaining her current situation well, Bai Lu didn't put off the other party's perfunctory, and she hung up the phone patiently when Hinata Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

After the phone screen went off, the originally tense atmosphere quieted down. The girl quickly took out the old SIM card and threw it into her pocket, and replaced it with a new phone card.

From there, the online side can start over.

When I go back, I will tell Xiangyang by the way that she has changed her mobile phone number and will use the new contact method to contact herself next time.

The afternoon session was still going strong.

The return of the girl at noon was greeted and comforted by many people. Yu Nishiya and Tanaka cried and said that they were about to call the police. Shimizu Kiyoko and the three-year group also blamed themselves.

"I said earlier that I should follow you..."

"At that time, let Bai Lu's school girl be with us."

Takae Sugawara looked at the girl worriedly, as if she was worried that a girl would be in danger if she got lost.

"sorry."

Bai Lu sincerely apologized to everyone, and did not explain the physical problems for the time being: "But I have returned safely now, so everyone is worried."

The "accountability" meeting at noon did not last long, and she had a lively lunch with everyone. Since she did not help Shimizu Jiezi cook at noon, Bai Lu was very active in her next work.

She took the initiative to take over the cleaning of clothes that should have been handled by the two of them together, and Shimizu Jiezi was responsible for pinching and recording data for everyone, so that the efficiency would be faster.

Throw the dirty clothes that everyone changed into the washing machine to wash, and then hang them on the railing on the second floor to dry. All other work is done according to the progress of the notebook. The only surprise is that the coach temporarily changed the afternoon activities.

"Everyone pack up, let's start the practice match in the team!"

The members of the volleyball club form two teams with Kageyama and Sugawara as the setters, and start a nvn duel with each other.

By the time Bai Lu came down from the second floor after drying his vest, the competition had already reached a fever pitch.

The sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor was crisp and sweet, and the sound of the teenagers shouting for the ball echoed in the huge gymnasium. While observing everyone, the girl walked towards Shimizu Kiyoko's position, intending to help score points together.

However, at this moment——

I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Be careful!!!"

The red and white volleyball, like a beast with wings, tore through the stagnant space forcefully, swept the surrounding air overwhelmingly, and rushed towards Bai Lu uncontrollably.

ah……

This is the "stray bullet" that everyone said before.

I can record it in my notebook later.

"Loading...Loading..."

"The system mall is opening for you."

Bai Lu was thinking with no expression on her face. She looked at the ball that was slamming straight at her, and opened the system mall with quick eyes and hands, causing the air around her to freeze at this moment.

Then dodge it.

"System: ... Player, you are worthy of it."

what is this.

Instead of looking at the dazzling array of products, she directly closed the mall page while dodging to the left, so, in the astonished perspective of everyone——

The girl dodged to the left at an extremely calm and graceful speed, and easily avoided the heavy blow that the volleyball was about to hit her beautiful face.

Everyone froze.

pity……

"Egret-san!!"

She managed to dodge the stray bullets, but the boys rushing to help behind her were a bit slower.

Everyone didn't control their bodies, and continued to rush forward with the inertia of their bodies. Bai Lu watched the ball and came into close contact with the face of Hinata Xiangyang... who was trying to hit the ball back in front of him.

"Well."

The orange-haired boy covered his cheeks and arched his waist in pain.

"Xiangyang?"

Bai Lu's eyes widened a little, and hastily bent down and pulled away his hands covering his face, carefully observing the other person's face: "...how are you?"

"Where is this place, who am I? Can you still recognize it?"

To be honest, those products blocked Hinata Xiangyang's body just now, she didn't expect this guy to be so fast.

She underestimated the speed and jumping ability of 5.

"No... nothing..."

Hinata Xiangyang choked his throat, raised his head firmly, his orange-brown eyes tried to maintain focus: "Second Gymnasium, Bailusang."

Fortunately, conscious...

Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and other team members rushed over worriedly: "Hyuga, are you okay?!"

"Wow, you have a nosebleed!"

"System: My God, I didn't expect to be hit by a stray bullet on the way down the stairs. Seeing Hinata Xiangyang who rushed to help in time but was injured himself, you decide?"

A. Thank him earnestly

B. Is it okay to mock him?

C. Accompany him to the infirmary to deal with the nosebleed

D. ignore, leave

"..."

Of course, take him to the infirmary.

Bai Lu has checked all kinds of volleyball science before, this kind of accidental injury might cause serious trouble, and even hit the face, so he must go to the infirmary to see.

Without any hesitation, she raised her hand and clicked C. When Hinata Xiangyang waved her hand to tell everyone that it was okay, she had already inserted her arm into the boy's arms, supported his body and said, "Xiangyang, I will takeYou go to the infirmary."

"Eh?!"

Hinata Xiangyang's body froze in place, goosebumps appeared on his arms like fried hair, and his cheeks that were already red from the racket were so red that they smoked: "No...no need!"

"No, I have to go and see."

"Yes, Hinata! You can't stand being brave at times like this, so you must deal with it."

"Bai Lu, Hinata will leave you alone."

Takae Sugawara and Daji Sawamura surrounded him, and Wuyang Xixin also went here to check Hinata's injury carefully: "Fortunately, there should be no fractures, but the left part of the cheek is swollen, anyway, go get the nosebleed first.stop."

"OK……"

The orange-haired boy's soft hair drooped down.

"Sorry, Xiangyang."

The two left the No. 2 Gymnasium together. Bai Lu supported each other while lowering his tone, for fear that he would speak too loudly and make the boy who had just been hit by a volleyball hurt in the head: "I made you accidentally get injured, and you still delayedAfternoon training."

"How do you feel now, does it still hurt?"

"It's, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Hinata Xiangyang lowered his head, his ears were still red, as if he didn't dare to look at Bai Lu at all.

He even wanted to say that he was fine, but...

The angels and demons in my heart are struggling with each other, on the one hand, they are reluctant to part with the games and training in the team.

On the one hand, thinking that he could be alone with Bai Lu and being cared for by the girl, he actually despicably wanted to continue amidst such soft-spoken inquiries.

The girl's soft and slender skin gently held his arm, her heart... almost couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you really all right? Anyway, let's go to the infirmary first."

Bai Lu carefully observed the bridge of Hinata Xiangyang's nose. To be honest, she was very worried that there would be no one in the infirmary. After all, it was the Golden Week holiday, and almost no one came to work in the school, let alone the medical teacher who was not often there.

Fortunately, as Wuyang Xixin Xixin said just now, Hinata Xiangyang's nose bridge should not be broken or anything, and the impact was all on the face.

But the center of his face is very red. don't know if it's because the kid is too shy or because he was hit by the ball. can't tell the difference at all.

"System: Player, don't worry."

"System: How could the protagonist of our game have an accident because of such a small part of love, hee hee, your worries are unnecessary."

Bai Lu: "..."

"System: Of course, there is healing potion in the mall, 50,000 yen a bottle, you can buy it for him to drink."

You are all profiteers.

The girl twitched the corner of her mouth. Although she was impatient, she acted honestly and spent 10 passerby favorability points to buy 3 bottles.

When you go back, secretly mix it into Xiangyang's water bottle, let him drink it just in case.

The conversation between Bai Lu and the system did not delay the two of them walking. They had already arrived at the school's infirmary. As expected, her guess just now came true.

There was no one in the infirmary at all.

"Xiangyang, you should sit here first."

Bai Lu is already familiar with the infirmary. She has run here more than once to avoid the Raiders (Tobio Kageyama, Yamaguchi Tadashi), so she naturally has a clear understanding of where the medicines are placed.

His cheeks are swollen, anyway, put a cold towel on it for a while, and then apply some ointment.

"Sorry for making you suffer so much."

"It's okay, well, I'm really fine."

Hinata Xiangyang sat obediently on the white bed, carefully holding the edge of the bed with both hands, and lowered his head to stare at his toes.

"and……"

He raised his head seriously, and stared at the girl with orange eyes without hesitation: "I don't regret going to stop the volleyball. If Bai Lusang didn't dodge, you would be the one who hit it."

"…Thanks."

Bai Lu didn't know what to say, so he dug out the clean towel in the infirmary, took it to the sink and washed it with cold water for a while. Although he moved smoothly, there were some ripples in his heart.

The young man in front of her was so sincere that her mood became complicated.

Feeling guilty again.

Silently wringing out the water in the towel, Bai Lu sat next to Hinata Xiangyang very lightly. The orange-haired boy had soft hair, and his fair baby face was cute and obedient, like a docile little dog.

Thinking that this guy was injured because of herself, she softened her voice and coaxed softly: "Hey, turn your head to the right a little, and I'll apply it for you."

"There may be some ice, just be patient for a while."

"Hmm... ok, ok."

Hinata Xiangyang clenched his fingers, stuttered and turned his head away, the red on his face almost spread to his neck.

[System: Player, the favorability of the strategy character "Hinata Xiangyang" is 98.97!】

Um.

She could almost feel it.

Egret held the towel tightly with a calm expression, and lightly touched Hinata Xiangyang's soft and rosy cheeks, but the movements were inexplicably unwilling to continue.

She didn't want to "play with" such a sincere boy.

But his favorability is almost 99%, only 1.03 away from 100%.

Whether it's a serious and hard-working simulated business, or as a strategy, in the end, it's just to go home, and Oikawa's 100% has not expired yet...

This is a great temptation for her, and it also makes Bai Lu unable to resist anything.

As a despicable instigator, she just maintained the movement of lightly touching the other's cheeks, and quietly let the breath of the two of them get so close that they could clearly feel each other.

The quiet atmosphere is full of false beauty.

[System: The favorability of the strategy character "Hinata Xiangyang" is 98.99%.】

"Xiangyang, is it ice?"

"No, no ice."

The orange-haired boy turned his head tightly, his bangs wet with sweat partially covered his eyes.

[System: The favorability of the strategy character "Hinata Xiangyang" is 99.0%.】

"It should be almost covered."

Bai Lu took off the towel, and the boy's cheeks had been relieved a lot due to the cold compress. She picked up the plaster that was placed aside, and instead of retreating, she kept a close distance from each other: "I checked the information before, 15 minutesYou can take it down right away.”

"Um."

The boy was still blushing.

[System: The favorability of the strategy character "Hinata Xiangyang" is 99.001%.】

really……

Can you only add 0.001 to the threshold of 99%?

Bai Lu unscrewed the cover silently, and the faint smell of ointment immediately lingered between the two of them, together with the smell of sweat after exercising, combined with the lingering heartbeat.

Looking at Hinata Xiangyang's face that dared not turn back, she didn't go up to apply the ointment directly, but remained silent for a few seconds, leaned forward slightly, and peeled off the Liuhai/bangs of the other party with her cool palms, covering them directlyto his forehead.

"Xiangyang, your face is always red."

"Is it a fever?"

...

The orange-haired boy was stunned, and finally turned his head back, facing the girl with his delicate cheeks that were so red and smoldering.

He held Bai Lu's slender wrist, and his tone was filled with a sense of abandonment: "Bai, Bai Lusang is right."

"I must have a fever."

"Eh?"

"Otherwise." The young man pursed his lips, looked at her sincerely and sincerely with those wet eyes unbearably: "Looking at your face, why am I... so heartbeat."
