Chapter 396 Fear

Ryuuen had no intention of hiding Ichinose, so he opened the door openly and let Hiyori enter the room.

Ichinose poured a glass of milk for Hiyori and a glass of hot water for Ryuuen.

“I’m going to go back first, you guys can chat.”

Ichinose greeted Ryuuen with a smile, then took off her apron and stood up to leave.

Ryuen didn’t stop her from going back, she had her own things to deal with, and Ryuen didn’t plan to monopolize Ichinose every day and make her warm his bed.

“That’s great.”

Hiyori drank the milk that Ichinose poured for her and sighed sincerely.

“Milk? It’s available in supermarkets. If you like it, there’s still plenty left in the refrigerator. You can take it all away.”

“Are you playing dumb, Ryuuen-kun? I’m not talking about milk.”

Hiyori stared at Ryuuen with a complaining look in her eyes.

Ryuen shrugged and didn’t intend to answer Hiyori’s question.

“You chose this time to come to me, it’s definitely not to drink milk from me, is there something important?”

Ryuen has been alone with many girls in his dormitory, including Ichinose, Kamuro, Horikita, etc. In such situations, Ryuen’s attitude was quite relaxed, and he looked very comfortable no matter what they talked about. Only when facing Hiyori, Ryuen felt unnatural. To be more precise, he felt a sense of restraint, like the restraint of visiting a strange relative’s house for the first time.

Ryuuen didn’t express this subtle feeling very obviously, or perhaps Ryuuen tried to conceal it, but the sensitive Hiyori still noticed Ryuuen’s abnormality.

“I have a feeling, Ryuuen-kun, you are a little afraid of me.”

After saying this, Hiyori even laughed. How could Ryuuen be afraid of her?

But out of a girl’s intuition, she always felt that when Ryuuen was alone with her, he was not as natural as when he was with other girls.

Ryuuen did not echo Hiyori’s smile, nor did he evade her joke.

Ryuen stared at Hiyori, thinking about that sentence, would he be afraid of Hiyori? Of course, this was impossible. Why did Hiyori feel this way, and why did he feel similarly unnatural?

Ryuuen looked at Hiyori, and Hiyori also looked at Ryuuen.

In Ryuuen’s black pupils, Hiyori’s brown eyes were reflected. Hiyori’s eyelashes were too long and her double eyelids were very cute. When she blinked, it was like stars sparkling. Ryuuen saw her confusion in her eyes, which drove him to think about the answer to this question.

“Maybe it’s because you’re special.”

Ryuen couldn’t give a more precise answer, but this sentence made Hiyori very satisfied. Even though Hiyori thought that this was just Ryuen’s sweet talk, and Ryuen might say this to every girl, but when he said it to Hiyori alone, she still felt very happy.

“Ryuuen-kun is also very special in my heart.”

This was Hiyori’s response to Ryuuen. Hiyori said this with a smile and Ryuuen accepted it with a smile. They both knew the meaning of this sentence, but that was it. Ryuuen did not intend to continue talking about this topic.

“Alright, that’s enough, gentle Miss Hiyori, please be reserved, bubbles are coming out of your head.”

“would not.”

Hiyori rolled her eyes at Ryuuen, feeling helpless about his argumentative attitude and could only snort helplessly.

“So, what’s the problem that made you come to see me, Miss Hiyori?” Hiyori took out her cell phone and showed Long Yuan a table of calculated sizes.

“Cultural Festival, are you really going to let the boys wear maid costumes and the girls wear butler costumes?”

It turned out to be about custom-made clothes.

“Is there a problem?”

“Is this really okay? You didn’t just want to play a trick on Ishizaki and the others on a whim?”

Although Hiyori supported Ryuen’s decision in class, she still didn’t think that this strategy would be adopted in the end. She even thought that Ryuen was just playing around for a moment and would change his mind when he calmed down. However, Ryuen never sent Hiyori a message, so Hiyori had to come to Ryuen to confirm the plan.

“Don’t you think it’s funny? Ishizaki is wearing a maid outfit. Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh. Hahaha.”

Hiyori fantasized for a moment and chuckled, then coughed a few times and said to Ryuuen with a stern face.

“Although it’s very interesting, boys will feel disgusted. And no matter how you think about it, it’s not going to attract customers with boys in maid costumes. Of course, the most important thing is that parents will come to visit that day. When the parents of boys see this situation, they might think that their children have psychological problems in school, or that they are being bullied, and thus lower their evaluation of the school.”

Hiyori said a lot of things, and these were issues that Ryuuen had never considered, because just like Hiyori said, he really just acted on impulse.

Long Yuan glanced at the statistical list. All the boys who raised their hands that day were on it, and there were quite a few girls as well.

“Then let’s do this. We’ll collect everyone’s wishes again, but this time both men and women can choose between butler and maid costumes. After all, we can’t rule out the possibility that all boys don’t want to wear maid costumes, and there might be some who dress like women.”

Hiyori showed a surprised expression, she had not expected this, and then cast a strange look at Ryuuen.

Ryuen held his forehead with his hand and said, “Don’t imagine me wearing a maid outfit. My figure and appearance are not suitable for wearing women’s clothes. But you can try, Hiyori.”

“Try a maid outfit?”

“You can if you want. Hiyori would look cute in a maid outfit, and she would also look good in a butler outfit.”

Although she was happy to be praised, Hiyori knew exactly what Ryuen’s purpose was: “I may not wear it even if you praise me.”

“It doesn’t matter. Just follow your own ideas. It’s all voluntary. I only have a little expectation for Hiyori’s outfit.”

Long Yuan said this, but he made a big circle on his chest with his fingers.

Hiyori rolled her eyes at Ryuuen again, but she already had a plan in mind.

Although she wanted to stay there and chat with Ryuen for a while, Hiyori had to go back and recompile the statistics, so she had to leave.

After Hiyori left, Ryuuen took a deep breath, then relaxed and lay on the bed to think about Hiyori’s question again.

Are you afraid of Rihe?

Ryuen had a vague feeling that Hiyori’s purpose in coming to see him wasn’t just about the cultural festival, but in the end Hiyori said nothing.

It’s really hard to guess what girls are thinking.

At the same time, Long Yuan was also reflecting on himself, wondering if the problem was with himself. It is often difficult for a person to see his own problems clearly, so kings of all dynasties need counselors. Long Yuan couldn’t see his own problems clearly, so he planned to find someone to ask.

The most suitable candidate is, of course, Kikyo.
