Faced with Kasuga Chinatsu's aggressiveness, Kuriyama Mai chose to avoid its edge.
He tried his best to make the gentlest expression, smiled and narrowed his eyes and said to Hayami Ruri:
"What are you thinking about, Hayami-san? Do you want to find friends because you are lonely? Or do you want to find a friend who understands each other spiritually?"
Kasuga Chinatsu immediately cast a somewhat appreciative glance at him.
Zaoniao noticed that Liuli's body was leaning back slightly, and her hands on the table were restlessly circling back and forth. After a while, she avoided Kuriyama Mai's eyes and said:
"That...senior, I...don't understand..."
She held her hands together tightly, "Sometimes when there is no one to form a team with during lunch, physical education class, or home economics class... I feel very lonely."
She smiled like a self-deprecating smile, "But I also want to be as good as Kasuga-senpai..."
Kuriyama Mai almost laughed out loud and joked to Hayami Ruri:
"Don't be like her, she's nothing..."
Seeing Kasuga Chinatsu's sharp gaze glance over, Kuriyama Mai immediately shut up.
She twitched her eyebrows and said in an educational tone:
"Oh, the quality of friends is much more important than the quantity. Being with stupid people is just a waste of time."
Kuriyama Mai winked at her proudly and said:
"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't be friends."
"Hmph!" Kasuga Chinatsu held her hands and threw her head out of the window angrily, muttering in a low voice, "Who is like you..." She was suddenly stunned.
A ray of sunset happened to shine on her cheek through the blinds. Kasuga Chinatsu felt her face was a little hot. She didn't know if it was because of the sunset.
"Friend..." She repeated the word silently in her mind.
Zaojian Liuli saw that the atmosphere in the activity room was a little delicate, and she became increasingly uneasy and whispered:
"Sure enough, the request is too awkward as I thought, right?" After saying this, she smiled to herself.
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what you want. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Kuriyama Mai picked up the teacup and blew the hot air while talking casually.
Kasuga Chinatsu glanced at him and quietly added:
"Although this guy seems carefree, sometimes what he says makes sense. For example, if you meet your classmates early, can you think about your hobbies or what you want to do? This will make it easier to meet people with the same interests."
"Hmm~ Let me think about it." Hayami Liuli looked at Kuriyama Mai carefully, and he was unexpectedly gentle.
But after she thought about it carefully, she said a little embarrassedly:
"My grades aren't very good in the class, I'm not very good at sports, and I don't have any special hobbies..."
"When I first entered high school, I felt a little confused and didn't know what to do, and I couldn't relate to the topics of my classmates..."
When Hayao Jian Liuli said this, he sighed deeply.
Kuriyama Mai finally blew the tea to a drinkable temperature and took a sip. As expected, it was fragrant and fragrant. He said to Haruhi Chinatsu with a happy face:
“It’s really delicious~”
Kasuga Chinatsu did not answer his question and asked directly:
"Do you have any advice for Hayami-san?"
He put down the teacup and said:
"Have you started attending cram school or joining any other clubs?"
Seeing her shaking her head like waves, Kuriyama Mai looked at Kasuga Chinatsu and said:
"How about bringing her into our club?"
I saw Liuli's big eyes suddenly brightened up early, but when I turned around and saw the expressionless Kasuga Chinatsu, they quickly dimmed again.
"Is that okay?" Her voice was so thin it was almost inaudible.
"Why do you think so?" Kasuga Chinatsu's clear eyes seemed to want to penetrate his heart.
Kuriyama Mai smiled and added:
"First of all, the purpose of our club is to help others, which requires manpower; secondly, seeing that the classmates are freshmen in high school early can increase the popularity of our club."
"And she doesn't have a wide social circle, so she doesn't have to worry about attracting any strange people."
"Finally, and most importantly, I saw that she was very confused. If I sit in this quiet place after school every day and read some books, I might be able to find the direction of my life."
Kuriyama Mai spoke slowly, and Kasuga Chinatsu seemed to understand what he meant. She turned to Hayami Ruri and asked:
"Have met classmates, are you willing to help others? Even if there is no reward, you may even face the risk of being laughed at and insulted in turn."
Seeing that Liuli looked very hesitant, he kept circling his index finger and thumb in his hand. He glanced at Kasuga Chinatsu cautiously, and then quickly moved his eyes to the old wooden floor.
"There's no need to worry." Kasuga Chinatsu saw her entanglement, "It's better to think about this kind of thing carefully than some guy who talks big words, so now I can only let him do the internship department first."
Kasuga Chinatsu pressed her temples as if troubled.
Seeing Liuli's fleshy little hands, she stopped, placed them obediently on the table, and slowly said:
"What I can do to help others enthusiastically is... if others laugh at me, or make things worse because I am stupid..."
Alas, the cute school girl sighed deeply again.
But Kasuga Chinatsu looked at her seriously and said:
"As long as you want to meet your classmates early, you can join the club today. Let's work hard together in the future."
This time it was Kasuga Chinatsu who took the initiative to extend an olive branch.
"Hey, why? But I'm really stupid, and I'm not sure whether I will be sad because of that kind of thing."
Happiness came so suddenly that Hayajian Liuli still couldn't believe the facts in front of her.
"Because you are honest, which is what I value most. Unlike some guy who talks big and needs an internship period, you can directly become a full member."
As Kasuga Chinatsu said, she turned to Kuriyama Mai and rolled her eyes.
Liuli's eyes were a little dull for a long time. This was the first time since she heard someone acknowledge her existence.
"Oops..." Kasuga Chinatsu rummaged through her bag, "I don't have the application form for joining the club..."
"It's okay... I'll just go get it myself."
Zaijian Liuli stood up and said excitedly.
"You can go to the staff room on the first floor to see if Mr. Hirai is there." Kasuga Chinatsu reminded her.
"Okay, thank you Kasuga-senpai." Hayao saw Liuli picking up her bag and walking out the door. It wasn't until she walked out of the activity room that she turned around timidly and whispered:
"Thank you also, Kuriyama-senpai."
Listening to the sound of the girl running "dong, dong, dong" on the wooden floor, Kuriyama Mai felt that she must be in a very happy mood.
Kasuga Chinatsu nodded to him with satisfaction:
"Your performance just now was considered satisfactory, but in terms of 'honesty', you are still far behind the junior high school students."
He chuckled and said:
"Actually, it's okay to lie. More importantly, I think I can make this club better."
Kasuga Chinatsu only sneered "hehehe":
"Hmph, you lie constantly and are glib, and you will only drag the club back."
Kuriyama Mai only replied to her confidently:
"As long as I'm here to block you, most people won't dare to come for consultation and help."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kasuga Chinatsu crossed her hands and looked out the blinds thoughtfully. The orange-red sunset just shone on the tips of her hair, like a spotless goddess.

"Boss, isn't that Huang Mao in the high school? How can we get to the junior high school?"
Nakamura, a tall but delicate man with a scar on his neck, asked.
"What do you know, kid? That guy's skills are far beyond what ordinary high school students can match. This time, the young lady wants to catch him alive. He can't destroy him. He has to rely on outsmarting him."
Nakamura in the business car explained patiently.
"Brother is wise!" Two people in the car echoed in succession, and one person remained silent.
The handsome man Takayama Ken rolled his eyes and continued to ask Nakamura with a puzzled expression:
"But the eldest lady's usual style is not to target unrelated people? Isn't it too risky for the eldest brother to do this?"
Nakamura ignored him at all, but a strong man with a square face sitting next to him slapped him in the face and said in a deep voice:
"The eldest lady is not here, listen to the eldest brother, don't talk nonsense!"
A calm bald man next to him gently pulled his sleeve, indicating that he should stop talking.
Gao Shanjian had no choice but to hold back the fire in his heart. In the subsequent actions, he bravely cooperated with two colleagues to 'invite' a little blond girl into the business car.
Although she shouted for help, Nakamura next to her showed the Mitsui family logo, and other passers-by, parents and school security had to pretend not to see it.
