"Baiyun-sang is leaving?"
In a frequently visited dessert shop, orange lights shine from the ceiling overhead. The wooden partitions slightly block the view, making the space in the store, which is not crowded, appear cleaner.
Mai Shiraishi looked at her relatives and friends sitting in the seat opposite her. The hand gently shaking the spoon suddenly stopped. When she heard the revelation she just made, the look on her face suddenly became very strange.
"Yes! You are surprised too, Mai-yang, aren't you? Although it sounds a bit abrupt, it seems that this matter is already close to the same -"
Matsumura Sayuri said in a low voice, as if he was telling some big secret, staring straight at her as he spoke.
"Ah...yes, yes! It's really surprising..."
Shiraishi Mai could only smile dryly, nonsense! Can it not be surprising? She already knew this! It’s just that I have always kept my promise and not told anyone else——
But the problem is not accidental! What should surprise you is how did you know? It doesn't make sense. Yesterday, this news was only known to a single-digit number of people in total. I was worried that it would have a bad impact if too many people knew about it. Why did it suddenly feel so bad today?
One eyebrow swayed uncontrollably, but the fingers under the table began to rub nervously. There was no time to think about how even my own Sayuri knew that a certain guy was leaving? The girl's only reaction at the moment was to try to look as surprised as possible, so as not to reveal any flaws.
He coughed quickly.
"Baiyun Sang is actually leaving? So suddenly? Oh~ I really didn't expect it. I never knew it before-"
Although the acting is a bit exaggerated, the unexpected emotions are very real.
Fortunately, the other party did not seem to suspect anything. Seeing that she was also surprised, he immediately looked away with satisfaction, and then added: "Also, you can tell others about this, but don't tell Bai Yunsang." , not even Ikku-chan. Telling her would be equivalent to telling Baiyun-san, oh, by the way, and it seems that Asuka can’t say it either——"
"why?"
Shiraishi Mai was confused. It was understandable not to tell Ichiku-chan. After all, telling her would mean there was no secret, but why couldn't she even tell a certain little bird?
"According to analysis, it seems that Asuka should have known about this for a long time, so we can't tell her——"
Seeing his Mai's confused expression becoming more and more confused as she talked, Matsumura Sayuri explained: "Because although Asuka knew it, she didn't know that we also knew it. If she told her, then she would also know that we also knew it. Knowing that she knows that Bai Yunsang is leaving, there is a high probability that Bai Yunsang will also know that we know that he is leaving..."
The explanation became more and more confusing, and it was difficult to speak. Matsumura Sayuri had no choice but to recount the previous discussion in the hut. After finishing speaking, his mouth was dry and he quickly took a sip of coffee to moisten it. Moisten your throat.
"...Similarly, we have repeatedly warned Kii-chan. After all, she is the only second-generation student here. At the same time, she has a very good relationship with Asuka, so whether the secret is leaked to other second-generation students or Asuka herself, the probability is high. Extremely big.”
"But, but, I still don't understand a bit..."
Mai Shiraishi was a little dizzy from this series of long speeches. After listening to it in one breath, she only captured keywords such as confidentiality, attention, graduation, etc. Oh, and by the way, there are also photo materials——
photo......
"まっつん! When did you save so many photos of me? And you gave them to him!"
When Shiraishi Mai came back to her senses, her face suddenly became a little strange. It was hard to tell how much she was shy and how much angry. The probability of becoming angry from embarrassment was the highest. After all, many of those photos, especially those taken privately during the last hot spring trip, are dark history that cannot be seen by outsiders——
"Uh...this, cough!"
Now it was Matsumura Sayuri's turn to panic, so he quickly brought his attention back and said, "That's not the point! The point is, Maiyang, you should know by now why we can't let Baiyun-san know about this?"
"Why?"
"Because we have to prepare a surprise together! If he finds out, the surprise will be gone~ Uh, so now let's think about how to prepare this surprise..."
...
.....
"surprise?"
In Wutongzaka's apartment, Baiyunshan's surprised voice almost overturned the ceiling, causing the black tea in the bone china cup on the coffee table to ripple slightly.
It can be said that this apartment has really ushered in the most lively period in recent months. The girls came here together two days ago. Around the evening, a certain little bird came here to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone and put on makeup. End of the knot.
As a result, within a few hours, the two girls who arrived one after another sat on the sofa where Xiao Feiniao was sitting before. They happened to be in the same position.
However, after being surprised, Baiyunshan soon felt relieved. He did not have similar doubts as last time about how this group of people suddenly knew that he was leaving. After all, even a certain little bird could deduce it. The fact that he may want to leave is naturally possible for others. Especially at this time, more information is exposed. It is not surprising to deduce it through careful observation——
When I figured out the logic and understood what these guys were going to do, I felt relieved. After all, I still knew how to keep the secret... although in fact it seemed lonely, and there was no need to keep the secret at all, because Someone has changed his mind...but this way, the impact will always be much smaller——
That's the surprise...
Baiyunshan touched his chin, and then with a thought in his mind, he complained quietly: "Speaking of which, discussion is a discussion. Why do you always come to me to discuss something secretly?"
"Because I can't go to the hut, after much deliberation, Baiyun-san, you are the most suitable place, right?" Shiraishi Mai said matter-of-factly.
"Then why don't you just call? The three of us will form a group, call and video chat, and explain everything clearly? Is it necessary to make a special trip at night?"
"It would be a bit disrespectful not to talk about it face to face. After all, for such a big matter, it would be more appropriate to talk about it in person, and nothing would be missed." Hashimoto Nanami also looked calm.
"Are you sure you're not here just to eat and drink?"
Baiyunshan said something abruptly.
The air was quiet for a second, and the two girls put down the cakes and muffins in their hands at the same time. The level of tacit understanding almost made people wonder if they were dazzled, and then they said in unison: "Let's talk about the business just now."
"As expected, you're just here to eat and drink, right?"
"Hmm... I think we can tell everyone tomorrow. Baiyun-sang, you don't have to leave anyway. If you continue to spread the word, who knows what the spread will be like-"
Hashimoto Nana took a sip of the richly fragrant black tea, whether to soothe her throat or to quickly eliminate the evidence in her mouth. What she said was serious, and it was hard to fault.
"Yes, yes. Since you don't have to leave, you don't have to worry about any bad effects, right? Why don't you just explain it publicly? I feel uncomfortable holding such a secret in my heart. I wanted to announce it for a long time. Out." Shiraishi Mai held the tea cup and nodded while talking, obviously agreeing with her Nanamin's statement.
"This is not okay."
Baiyunshan shook his head and rejected the two girls' opinions: "If you tell it, doesn't it mean that you already know it? Besides, I quite care about this surprise -"
After all, I didn't make any demands. This was planned by them. Although I'm not leaving anymore, as the saying goes, don't take advantage of the bastard.
