"What…what are you doing?"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became alert.

If Hayakawa had been looking at her with a gloomy face, no matter how frightening his expression was, she wouldn't have been afraid at all. After all, he had that expression for about 20 out of 24 hours a day. But now he was all smiles, which made her feel extremely uneasy. You could even say that Hayakawa's smile gave Ayatsumi a feeling of the uncanny valley, which was absolutely chilling.

Komi Nami frowned slightly, raising her delicate, pretty brows to the limit as she cautiously observed Hayakawa's next move, fearing he might do something hentai.

"Senior Xiao Meilang"

Hayakawa smiled, then took a piece of paper from the table and gently wiped Minami Aizawa's mouth, saying softly, "You had some ice cream on your face, I wiped it off for you."

"Uh…"

The girls nearby, who had been chatting, suddenly stopped talking when they saw this scene. They looked over with subtle glances, their eyes scanning back and forth between Mimi Aizawa and Hayakawa.

"oh oh."

When Xiaomei Aicheng's face was wiped, she was stunned for a moment before responding with a blank sound. Then, she noticed several pairs of eyes watching her from the side and immediately realized what had happened. Her delicate earlobes turned red instantly, and she lowered her head involuntarily, gritting her teeth as she said, "Thank you, junior."

"It's ok."

Hayakawa noticed several subtle glances from the side and calmly nodded in agreement.

This move was learned from Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata earlier. Now it seems that although it is somewhat harmful to both sides, it is still very effective for self-destruction.

After what happened between Hayakawa and Minami, the atmosphere among the girls chatting nearby became subtle. Their gazes toward the girls around them became strange, even showing a sense of unease, as if they were seeing enemies everywhere.

Xiao Mei's face was still flushed, like a ripe apple, but seeing the atmosphere on the other side, she could only try to find a topic to ease the tension, since it was because of her that things had turned out this way.

"I'm talking to you guys,"

Xiao Meilang thought for a moment, then picked a topic that girls liked and asked, "Have you ever planned to get a pet or something?"

The living room fell silent for a moment, then a burst of discussion ensued.

"I don't think so."

Fumino Furuhashi's eyes lit up slightly, then dimmed: "As you know, my family's situation makes it difficult for us to keep pets."

Having just broken up with her father and run away from home, Fumino Furuhashi could never tell her father, with whom she had a falling out, that she wanted to get a pet. Moreover, given her father's serious, earnest, and even somewhat rigid personality, he didn't seem like the type to accept Fumino Furuhashi getting a pet.

"For my family... it probably won't work either."

Yotsuba Nakano gave a slight wry smile: "There are usually five people living in my house, and sometimes my dad comes home too, so that makes six. A house with so many people will cause a lot of trouble. Adding a pet would only create more problems. Besides, Nino seems to be allergic to cats and dogs, and Miku doesn't like pets either. As for Ichika and Itsuki..."

"Wait a minute, everyone!"

Xiao Meilang looked at the several girls in front of her with unpleasant expressions and said, "Can we not talk about such realistic topics? I just wanted to ask your opinions on pets. It's one thing if your family doesn't allow you to keep pets, but you can still say what kind of pets you like. I'm renting a place now, and my landlord doesn't allow pets either, so can't I even talk about it privately?"

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Senpai, you should have said so earlier. You made me feel a little bad."

"You guys have misunderstood, okay? And judging from your expression, you've probably been thinking about getting a pet for a while now, judging from the look on your face just now."

Xiao Meilang pouted and then looked at Ogata Rizu, who was deep in thought, and asked, "Ogata, what about you? What are your thoughts on pets?"

"Forehead…"

Upon hearing this, Rizu Ogata looked up, then tilted her head in confusion and said, "I have pets at home."

"what?"

"what!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell, but the most shocked was Fumino Furuhashi, who had always thought she knew Rizu Ogata better than anyone else. This was the first time she had ever heard that Rizu Ogata had a pet.

"Rika, did you have pets at home before? This is the first time I've known."

Fumino Furuhashi stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

“I’ve had it since junior high school. It lives in another house.”

Rizu Ogata said calmly, "It's a dog named Hachiko. It's quite big. My father insists on keeping it, saying he'll train it to protect me."

Chapter 562 Hayakawa's Favorite Pet

"...That's just like Uncle Ogata's style."

Fumino Furuhashi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"What's there to say about this?"

Ogata Rizu asked in confusion, "You didn't ask before, but now that you've brought it up, I've already answered."

"Uh…"

Fumino Furuhashi felt a little resentful, but she couldn't refute it.

In her heart, she and Rizu were the best of friends. Although friends may have some secrets, everyday things like having pets at home should be shared. Just like Furuhashi would confide in Rizu Ogata when she had troubles. However, she only found out now that Rizu Ogata had a dog. The Rizu she used to know suddenly had a side she didn't know about, and seemed to have become a stranger.

This left Fumino Furuhashi feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Okay, I understand. It's really not something worth talking about."

Fumino Furuhashi said something comforting, then said to Hayakawa with a self-deprecating tone, "Hayakawa-kun, next time let's have Ri-chan bring her dog out to see us. Although I can't keep a pet myself, I'd be satisfied just to pet it."

"forget it."

Hayakawa casually declined, saying, "I've already seen it before."

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

In an instant, the literature girl froze, staring blankly at Hayakawa in front of her, and asked incredulously, "You've already seen it?"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa looked at her, puzzled. "Yeah, I've already seen it."

"Rika's dog?"

"Ah."

"When?"

"I forgot, it was a while ago, I think. She sent me a picture of a pretty big golden retriever."

"..."

Fumino Furuhashi took a deep breath, feeling a bit dizzy.

They said it was a trivial matter and that's why they didn't share it with me, but they told Hayakawa about it a long time ago...

So that's how it is. That's the difference between friendship and love. I understand it now.

Fumino Furuhashi silently clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart, as if something precious had been stolen from her.

My favorite Rizu was stolen by that bastard Hayakawa... Doesn't that mean I've been NTR'd?

"Well…"

Fumino Furuhashi seemed to have thought of something, her eyes suddenly reddened, and her voice inexplicably choked up. She forced a bitter smile and said haltingly, "Oh... I see. Well then, you two go watch the dogs. I just remembered I have something to do... so I won't go?"

"???"

Didn't I just refuse?

"Guqiao, cheer up a bit and have some hot water."

Noticing something amiss, Ayame Kominami quickly shielded Fumino Furuhashi to her side and casually changed the subject, saying, "Let's continue talking about pets. What kind of animals do you think are better to keep?"

"cat."

Yotsuba was clearly a pure cat lover from the start.

Does Yotsuba like cats?

Riju Ogata glanced at Yotsuba Nakano and said, "I thought you liked dogs."

"why?"

Yotsuba looked at her, puzzled.

"Because you always seem very energetic."

Rizu Ogata said calmly, "Seeing you reminds me of a dog... um..."

Fumino Furuhashi quickly reached out and covered Riju Ogata's mouth, saying in a panic, "Riju-chan means it's because dogs are energetic and cute, just like you, Yotsuba."

"Is this so..."

Yotsuba silently turned her head away, a little embarrassed, and said, "Even so, I still prefer cats. They don't make a fuss and they're very easy to pet."

"But cats shed a lot."

Riju Ogata.

Yotsuba asked in confusion, "Dogs shed fur too, and dogs are bigger than cats, so they shed more fur."

"That's true..."

Ogata Rizu, reminded by Yotsuba, seemed to recall the troubles she encountered when raising pets, and couldn't help but complain: "Is it a big problem or a small one? The most important thing is that the dog needs to be walked often, otherwise it will jump around and cause a lot of trouble."

"So, when you compare them like that, the cat is definitely better."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng deeply agreed, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Besides the common cats and dogs, are there any other pets that are more suitable to keep?"

"rabbit?"

Yotsuba immediately provided an example.

Rizu Ogata shook her head: "No way. Rabbits are actually very timid and prone to screaming. Their droppings smell very strong, and their digestive system is also very fragile. They will die from diarrhea if you feed them vegetables and water together."

Fumino Furuhashi was shocked: "That's outrageous?"

"Yes, because vegetables contain water, which rabbits can't tolerate."

Rizu Ogata pushed up her glasses, her expression serious: "And rabbits go into heat extremely frequently."

The girls fell silent. The word "heat" was undoubtedly a derogatory term to them, enough to negate most of their goodwill towards the rabbit.

"Like Umaru-chan from Class C, raising hamsters."

"Rodents, absolutely not!"

How about the pet bird?

"Birds have straight intestines and can't control their excretions, so keeping a bird means you'll have to clean its droppings all the time..."

"Uh, then let's forget about it."

"How's the turtle?"

"Not cute at all... and there's no interaction. There's no point in keeping a pet like this."

"That…"

The girls searched for several kinds of pets, basically covering all the common types, but still couldn't find one that satisfied everyone. In the end, they could only accept the suspicions surrounding the "strange shrimp" (a type of pet).

"Ok?"

Komi Aizawa suddenly turned her gaze to Hayakawa, whose eyes were wandering and who was clearly lost in thought, and said, "Junior, why aren't you saying anything? We're the ones doing all the talking. Why don't you say something too?"

"Uh... what did you say?"

Hayakawa snapped out of her daze and looked over blankly.

"Pets? If you were to get a pet, what kind of pet would you like?"

Ogata tilted his head and looked at Hayakawa with a hint of curiosity.

Actually, you can see some biases among the girls. For example, Furuhashi and Yotsuba are obviously cat lovers, while Ogata Rizu is a dog lover. As for Minami Azumi, she can accept anything as long as it's not a rodent. But you can't see any biases among Hayakawa.

Hayakawa replied expressionlessly, "Keep a pet? Why should I waste my time on something so boring?"

Guo Lingmeng Yi Lin Yi Qi IV Wu Jiu Si Cu Ran gave this answer.

The same sentence appeared in the minds of the four girls simultaneously.

I knew this would be the outcome without even thinking about it; it was expected.

"Don't be such a spoilsport, junior. We're all talking about this topic."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng said helplessly, "And they didn't ask you to actually keep one, they just asked you what kind of animal you would keep if you had a pet."

"Is that so?"

Hayakawa frowned: "Then I need to think about it carefully."
