After touching Yuzuru Nishimiya's little head, Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth corners slightly curled up.

"Brother Xuanyuan is right, Sister Xueno, you are so cute when you smile!"

Hearing what Nishimiya Yuzuru said, Yukinoshita Yukino paused with her hand on the girl's head, then moved again.

This time,

The smile on Yukinoshita Yukino's lips did not disappear.

Chapter 128: Sanjiu Protecting Xuanyuan Ning

"Uesugi-san, I don't think you'd have to do this even if you wanted to confess to someone else."

Protecting Nakano who was hiding behind him, Xuanyuan Ning looked at Uesugi Fuutarou in front of him in surprise.

Before he transferred to Sobu High School, the other person was at least one of the top three students in his grade, but he ended up chasing after a female classmate after school.

That's fine, Xuanyuan Ning doesn't intend to meddle in other people's business.

Who knew that the girl being pursued by Uesugi Fuutarou, after noticing Xuanyuan Ning, would directly run behind Xuanyuan Ning and hide, using Xuanyuan Ning to separate herself from Uesugi Fuutarou.

When the girl ran towards him, Xuanyuan Ning realized that she was somewhat similar to Nakano Nino and should be one of Nakano Nino's sisters, so he chose to get involved in this mess.

"Xuanyuan-san, um... it's... Nakano-san's family asked me to tutor them."

Uesugi Fuutarou also knew Xuanyuan Ning. He had chased Nakano Miku across most of the campus. He was hunched over with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

He was an honor student, not a sports student, and he was almost exhausted from chasing Nakano Miku breathlessly.

Uesugi Fuutarou was really surprised that Nakano Miku had such strong physical fitness.

"Nakano-san, is that so?"

After listening to Uesugi Fuutarou's explanation, Xuanyuan Ning turned his head to look at the girl hiding behind him, not knowing whether she was Nakano Nino's elder sister or younger sister.

Because he had never met the other sisters of Nakano Nino and had only heard them talk about their relationship, Xuanyuan Ning was not sure about the specific identity of the girl in front of him.

Unlike Nino Nakano who often wears a black swallowtail butterfly headband, this Nakano girl has short hair that reaches her shoulders. Her right eye is slightly covered by the hanging hair, and she has a pair of headphones hanging around her neck.

Noticing Xuanyuan Ning looking at her, Nakano Miku, who was also panting due to the intense exercise, nodded to the boy to indicate that Uesugi Fuutarou was right.

Nakano Miku had not thought about her future goals, so she did not get Nakano Maruo's permission to not tutor her grades like Nakano Nino did.

It just so happens that Nakano Miku also hates studying, so she has been avoiding Uesugi Fuutarou, the tutor hired by Nakano Maruo. She just didn't expect that the other party would keep pestering her today.

Unable to bear Fuutarou Uesugi's constant nagging and unwilling to follow Fuutarou Uesugi's lessons, Nakano Miku ran away while Fuutarou Uesugi was still trying to persuade her.

Nakano Miku originally thought that she could just get rid of Uesugi Fuutarou, but who knew that Uesugi Fuutarou had such strong willpower that he followed her all over half of the campus.

Nakano Miku, who had no strength left and was about to give up, saw Xuanyuan Ning coming out of the service club.

As the object of pursuit of Nakano Nino, and as Xuanyuan Ning is also a "fellow lover" of Nakano Miku, Nakano Miku gritted her teeth and trotted behind Xuanyuan Ning to avoid Uesugi Fuutarou.

"Then could you please ask Nakano and Uesugi to sit down and have a good chat?" Xuanyuan Ning rubbed his swollen brows.

It doesn't matter. I just want to enjoy my free time.

"Okay." Uesugi Fuutarou nodded first, indicating that it was okay.

His goal in catching up with Nakano Miku was to have a good chat with her and persuade her to go back and study.

Now that Xuanyuan Ning has taken the initiative to act as a mediator, he can't express his gratitude enough.

"...Can."

Nakano Miku seemed a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she agreed.

She had been chased by Uesugi Fuutarou until she was exhausted and could not leave even if she wanted to. At least now she had Xuanyuan Ning, the third person, by her side, so she didn't have to worry about Uesugi Fuutarou doing anything bad.

"Let's sit on the bench over there and chat."

Seeing that both parties agreed, Xuanyuan Ning pointed to a bench next to a beverage vending machine not far away.

When they arrived at the place Xuanyuan Ning mentioned, Nakano Miku sat on the left side of the bench and tried to keep as much distance as possible from Uesugi Fuutarou. Uesugi Fuutarou also tactfully sat on the right side, separated from Nakano Miku.

"Want something to drink?"

Without getting between the two of them, Xuanyuan Ning stood in front of the beverage vending machine and asked Nakano Miku and Uesugi Fuutarou.

They were still gasping for breath, and Xuanyuan Ning was afraid that one of them would be unable to breathe and would have to trouble him to send them to the hospital.

"No, thank you, Xuanyuan." Uesugi Fuutarou politely declined Xuanyuan Ning's offer to buy him a drink.

His family is still in huge debt, so Fuutarou Uesugi tries to save as much as possible on beverages.

Although it’s not a big expense, it’s better to save some money if you can.

For the sake of his lovely sister, Fuutarou Uesugi licked his dry lips, trying to relieve his thirst for water in this way.

"Please buy me a bottle of matcha soda, thank you."

Nakano Miku was much wealthier. After expressing her preferences, she gave Xuanyuan Ning a grateful look.

After running for a long time, Nakano Miku was already very thirsty, but Uesugi Fuutarou was chasing her, so she had no chance to buy drinks to replenish water.

Now that she finally got a chance to catch her breath, Nakano Miku just wanted to recover her tired body quickly.

"Okay, matcha soda."

After hearing Nakano Miku's choice, Xuanyuan Ning pressed the matcha soda button again.

Ding ding dong dong——

The sound of three canned drinks colliding with each other was heard under the vending machine, and Xuanyuan Ning took out three bottles of different drinks.

"Nakano, your matcha soda."

After handing Nakano Miku's matcha soda to the other party, Xuanyuan Ning took out a bottle of mint soda and threw it to Uesugi Fuutarou, who was looking at this side and licking his lips: "Uesugi, this is yours."

"This..." Xuanyuan Ning didn't give Uesugi Fuutarou a chance to choose. Uesugi Fuutarou hurriedly took the soda water in his hand and looked at it with some embarrassment.

"Don't worry, this is a drink I'm treating Uesugi-san and Nakano-san to."

Xuanyuan Ning waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that the meal was on his treat.

"Xuanyuan, thank you very much."

Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Uesugi Fuutarou stopped refusing. After thanking Xuanyuan Ning, he couldn't wait to unscrew the bottle and take a sip.

The dry lips were moisturized by the soda water and became plump like a dead tree coming back to life in spring. Fuutarou Uesugi felt that this was the sweetest water he had ever drunk that day.

After finishing a whole bottle in one gulp, Uesugi Fuutarou finally let go of the bottle and wiped his rejuvenated lips with the back of his hand.

When Nakano Miku heard Xuanyuan Ning say that he was treating them to the meal, she didn't say much and slowly put the matcha soda into her mouth.

The refreshing and slightly bitter matcha flavor combined with the bubbly taste of soda water gradually cleared up Nakano Miku's dizzy head.

The aftertaste of matcha brings a hint of sweetness to the girl. This special taste is exactly what Miku Nakano loves.

"Can you tell me more about the current situation?"

Xuanyuan Ning did not rush to drink the drink. Instead, he threw the can of drink in his hand into the air.

He was not thirsty.

Chapter 129 Warriors and Generals

It’s not a big deal. She runs away and he chases her. She can’t escape even if she has wings.

As Uesugi Fuutarou told the story, Xuanyuan Ning roughly understood the entire development process of the matter.

We also know the specific identity of the girl with headphones, Nakano Miku, Nakano Nino's younger sister.

It was pretty much the same as what Nino Nakano had talked about before, except that it added a lot of detailed details and Uesugi Fuutarou's own thoughts.

"Since Uesugi-san has accepted this tutoring job, he plans to let Nakano-san tutor you."

"And Nakano-san, since he has little interest in studying, he is very resistant to you, Uesugi-san."

"Is that so?"

Xuanyuan Ning sorted out the development of the matter and pointed out the most critical and fatal problem between the two.

Fuutarou Uesugi is doing his duty, while Miku Nakano is following her heart.

There is no right or wrong, we can only say whoever is right is right.

Neither of the two people holding drinks spoke. Uesugi Fuutarou nodded to Xuanyuan Ning.

"What do you think, Nakano-san?"

Xuanyuan Ning looked at Nakano Miku, who was sitting on the left with her head down and not saying a word.

This is the Nakano family's family affair. I can't just say that if I don't want to learn, then I don't have to learn. Now I can only see what Nakano Miku thinks.

"How do you see it?" Seeing Xuanyuan Ning asking herself, Nakano Miku was stunned, then raised her head to look at Xuanyuan Ning and lowered her head again: "I don't know."

With the precedent of Nakano Nino leaving Uesugi Fuutarou's tutoring class, Nakano Miku was also tempted and wanted to tell Nakano Maruo that she had future goals and didn't need to focus too much on studying, just like Nakano Nino.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Miku Nakano still couldn't figure out what her future goals were. Even the fact that she liked ancient warriors... Miku Nakano didn't dare to tell her sisters.

Not to mention talking to Nakano Maruo about ancient samurai and asking him in which direction he should develop this hobby.

Even if Nakano Maruo really helped her find her future goal, Nakano Miku was still a little scared because she chose the path of history without her sisters knowing and exposed her identity as a "calendar girl".

Other girls either like to wear makeup or are interested in celebrities, but Nakano Miku, who likes ancient warriors, has a low self-esteem.

None of the girls around were interested in ancient soldiers, which made Nakano Miku feel even more ashamed.

Nakano Miku's answer was deafening, leaving Xuanyuan Ning and Uesugi Fuutarou silent.

The can of drink that was still being thrown up quietly returned to Xuanyuan Ning's hands.

"Sorry, please wait for me for a moment."

He placed the drink in the middle of the bench, leaving a clear line between the two of them, and Xuanyuan Ning walked aside to start making a phone call.

beep--

Toot——

"Moshimoshi, Xuanyuan Jun, did you miss me~"

The call was quickly connected, and Nakano Nino's happy voice came from the phone.

It was obvious that we had just separated not long ago, but Xuanyuan Jun called me. I felt really embarrassed.

In the dessert shop, Nino Nakano covered her face and thought shyly.

"Nino, how much do you know about your sister Nakano Miku?"

"Miku? What happened to Miku?"

Hearing Xuanyuan Ning asking her about Nakano Miku, Nakano Nino, who had a premonition that something was wrong, stopped flirting with Xuanyuan Ning and spoke in a serious tone.

You should know that she had never introduced her sisters to Xuanyuan Ning in detail. Nakano Nino had originally planned to find a time to introduce Xuanyuan Ning to her sisters, but she didn't expect that Nakano Miku would meet Xuanyuan Ning first.

Nakano Miku is very introverted and should not have any relationship with Xuanyuan Ning.

Xuanyuan Ning called to ask about himself, most likely because something happened to Nakano Miku.

"that is..."

Glancing at the awkward atmosphere on the bench, Xuanyuan Ning quickly told Nakano Nino what had just happened.

"That's it..."

Knowing that Nakano Miku's current situation was not an accident, Nakano Nino breathed a sigh of relief.

Nakano Nino gritted her teeth secretly and remembered Uesugi Fuutarou's rude behavior towards Nakano Miku this time.

If she meets Fuutarou Uesugi again, she will definitely get revenge for Miku Nakano.

"Xuanyuan-kun, what Sanjiu said..."

Now is not the time to care about this matter. Nakano Nino quickly told Xuanyuan Ning about Nakano Miku's situation.

As sisters, Nakano Nino also knows that Nakano Miku doesn't like studying, so Nakano Nino helps her sister whenever she can.

Since Xuanyuan Ning was able to guide himself back then, he might be able to guide Nakano Miku.

With this attitude, Nakano Nino also told Xuanyuan Ning that Nakano Miku liked ancient warriors.

"Xuanyuan-kun, Sanjiu is sorry to trouble you."
