After receiving Shikamaru's reminder, Hanami Akira took action the very next day.

Seeing that the other party gave him a good idea, Hua Jianming did not care about the other party calling him "Xiao Ming".

In other words, this is something that cannot be stopped.

After all, since Naruto felt that he was familiar with him, he would come to him from time to time, and then call him "Xiao Ming", leading Shikamaru and others who would have called him by his name properly.

However, because these people refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, Hanami Akira has been thinking about how to catch up with Kurama Yakumo recently, so he can only let it go.

Of course, as a person who thinks he has a good IQ, but is still not as good as Shikamaru, Hanami Akira followed some of Shikamaru's other suggestions - for example, don't choose to talk to him directly in the Taijutsu class, but secretly talk to him in private.

people.

The reason Shikamaru gave was that going out to chat in public, because there are too many people around, would unintentionally create the effect of crowding around, which could easily cause people to feel stressed. It is better not to do that to introverted girls.

In addition, Akira Hanami is quite popular in the class. If he is found to be chatting up others, he may cause unnecessary trouble to the girl.

Hanami Akira didn't think things were as exaggerated as Shikamaru said, but since Shikamaru said so, he certainly had his reasons.

As a humble person who is good at listening to other people's suggestions, he feels that there is nothing wrong with following them.

Therefore, after school, Akira Hanami found an excuse to decline invitations from Ino, Sakura and others, declined Sasuke's invitation to fight, and declined Naruto's invitation to go home together.

He planned to wait secretly on the way to school to find Kurama Yakumo.

Seeing this, Shikamaru could only sigh, and looked at the two girls who didn't even notice with sympathetic eyes.

There was no way, Hua Jianming was very busy working part-time before, and had rejected their invitations many times, so the two of them didn't realize that this time, Hua Jianming's refusal was not to work-study, but to strike up conversations with other girls.

In order to save himself some trouble, Shikamaru chose to help cover up.

Paper cannot cover the fire. It would be fine if Hua Jianming fails, but if he succeeds, sooner or later this trouble will break out.

However, according to Shikamaru's mentality, troublesome things can be put off for as long as possible. Maybe the feelings will fade away later?

Besides, since Hanami Akira likes the introverted and quiet type, then both Ino and Sakura must have little hope!

…

On the other side, Hanami Akira was waiting in an unobtrusive corner at the school gate, deliberately lowering his sense of presence.

It was time for school to end, and the students were eager to go out to play or go home. Naturally, no one noticed someone in the shadows in the corner of the school gate.

To be honest, there is something strange about this scene, and this behavior seems a bit strange.

But there was no other way. Hanami Akira was worried that Kurama Yakumo would leave if he came out late, so he could only go out early and stay there to wait.

While waiting for batch after batch of students to leave, to the point where Hanami Akira began to wonder if Kurama Yakumo had already left, or if he had missed it before, the figure that made him scratch his head finally appeared.

in front of him.

Kurama Yakumo, who has long brown hair hanging down his shoulders and a pale complexion, carried a backpack and walked away with a somewhat fast pace. He looked sad and seemed to have tears in his eyes.

This doesn't look like a good mood.

Hua Jianming hesitated for a moment.

You know, striking up a conversation also depends on the atmosphere. If the other person is in a bad mood, it is very likely that the good thing will be regarded as a bad thing, and there is even a possibility of being offended.

Do you want to give up today?

However, no one knows when Kurama Yakumo will drop out of school, and it will be difficult to get close to him by then.

Besides, it seemed that the few times he observed the other person, the other person's expression was always pale and melancholy, and he didn't seem very happy, but now he seemed to be particularly unhappy.

With such hesitation, the opportunity for a "chance encounter" at the school gate was missed.

Kurama Yakumo, who was walking slowly, had already walked out of the school gate.

Seeing this, Hua Jianming followed him subconsciously, he still didn't want to give up.

Maybe you feel that if you give up this time, you may not have a chance next time, right?

The moment he saw the other person's expression, for some reason, Hanami Akira felt as if he had triggered some major plot.

Following his instinct, Hanami Akira chased after him and got close to Kurama Yakumo.

"this……"

"You kid, what do you want to do with Yakumo?!"

A mature male voice sounded, and Hua Jianming felt his feet leave the ground and his whole body was suspended in the air.

His collar was held by someone behind him, and he was completely lifted into the air.

——The neck feels a little uncomfortable. Is this the way the back of the neck feels when a cat is grabbed?

At this moment, Hua Jianming's thoughts strangely wandered to outer space.

It wasn't until his feet swung twice in mid-air that he hit someone, and when Kurama Yakumo in front heard something and turned around and exclaimed, did he realize his situation.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question! You don't want to bully Yakumo, do you?!"

The man looked at Hua Jianming with suspicion. Why did this kid look so sneaky just now?

In addition, this guy had been squatting in the shadow of the door just now, so he was obviously heading for Yakumo!

Anger and sadness flashed in the man's eyes.

No matter where you are, the law of the jungle is the truth. Even in the ninja school, Yakumo is incompatible with the students around him because of his frailty.

Sure enough, isn't Yakumo suitable for being in the Ninja School?

"Dad? What's going on?"

Kurama Yakumo, who was panting and about to leave, turned back, looked at the little boy in his father's hands, and was stunned for a moment.

"You are the first grader..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Senior, do you know me?"

Hua Jianming was stunned when he heard this, and his face couldn't help but glow with joy. The other party had an impression of him, and maybe the strategy would be smoother than he thought!

He didn't even care that he was in mid-air and spoke the lines he had prepared for a long time.

"Yakumo-senpai, can we be friends?"

"……Eh?"

"What?!"

As soon as Hanami Akira said these words, not only Yakumo was stunned, but also the man holding Hanami Akira was stunned. In shock, his hand couldn't help but let go, allowing someone to fall freely.

Fortunately, this period of hard training was not in vain. Hanami Akira decisively landed in a chic posture, then walked to Kurama Yakumo and took out a small hairpin.

Kurama Yakumo still wears his hair down now, with the bangs hanging in front of him somewhat covering his career, and looking a little gloomy. He thought it would be appropriate to give him this cheap but cute little gift.

This is like a cute little hairpin made up of two bright yellow balls. I think it is the one that Kurama Yakumo will use in the future. Hanami Akira found it after visiting many stores.

"When I saw this hairpin, I thought it matched you very well."

When Kurama Yakumo was at a loss, Hanami Akira stepped forward and used a hairpin to lift Yakumo's somewhat obstructive bangs.

Fortunately, the skills he had honed in order to dress up as women... ah no, in order to complete tasks and help Naruto, allowed him to easily give Yakumo a good hairstyle.

Sure enough, any skill is useful!

"Senior, you are so cute, it would be a shame not to show your face."

Well, according to Shikamaru's suggestion, if you want to make friends and make the other person feel good about you, you can start by complimenting the other person, and then give him some small gifts that are not valuable but show your heart.
