"Xiao Ning? What's wrong?"

Takamatsu Akira has always paid close attention to any movements made by Toyokawa Neko.

"It's nothing... I accidentally bumped my hand while tidying up my desk."

Ningzi pinched her left wrist hard with her right hand inside the desk drawer, then stretched out both hands to show off her fake "injury".

While her pink wrists were certainly attractive, something else caught Takamatsu's eye more naturally.

"Xiao Ning...neck..."

"neck?"

What's wrong with my neck... um...

Ningzi hurriedly covered her bandage, but it was too late. Gao Songdeng had already seen clearly the place Ningzi had been trying to hide.

“Xiao Ning…”

"Oh, it's just a mosquito bite, I didn't cut myself, and it's not a hickey!" "Do you like these kinds of band-aids too!"

"Huh?" "Huh?"

The two spoke at the same time, and exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

Neither side expected the other to say that.

"Huh? You cut it yourself? A hickey?"

"Wow, I was just kidding. I already said it was a mosquito bite! It was just a tiger mosquito, and the bite wound was too big and ugly, so I was thinking of something to cover it up."

"Oh! Is...is that so!"

The light seemed to have been switched on, and the light in her eyes kept spilling out. She turned around and quickly rummaged through the desk.

Gao Songdeng pulled out a large stack of band-aids.

This is the sixth installment in our marine life series!

"Reef manta rays, sunfish, blue whales, sperm whales, seals, sea lions, dugongs..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?"

"These...are all for Xiaoning!"

"I do not…"

Ningzi originally wanted to say that she actually had quite a few of these near-expiration bandages at home, but when the two girls' eyes met, the care in their eyes and... the joy of sharing their collection made Ningzi unsure how to refuse.

As Toyokawa Ningko hesitated, Akari's trembling hands began to retreat.

Teenage girls are so sensitive; her hesitation must have been very painful for Deng.

Ningzi knew that if she didn't seize this opportunity now, she might never have another chance!

"I don't... I only want this much. Do you have more lamps? If you're willing, I'll happily take as many as you want!"

"Really! Is that so?!"

The surprise on Takamatsu's face is one of Ningzi's favorite foods. If you were to have a full Western meal, "Takamatsu Takamatsu's Surprise" would definitely be considered an appetizer or dessert.

"Is such that!"

Ningzi snatched all the band-aids from Deng's hand, tore off a sunfish one, and stuck it on her nose.

"Look at me! Don't I look like a delinquent girl now?!"

"Pfft, Xiao Ning is so cute... I brought quite a few of these band-aids! This one is the grassland animal series, this one is the Antarctic animal series..."

"Deng, would you mind sharing it all with me?"

"Not at all! I'd be much happier to share these things with Xiaoning than to collect them!"

The little penguin's face was flushed, and he didn't hold back his voice at all. The students nearby could clearly tell that the two seemed to be confessing their feelings to each other.

But everyone's gotten used to it.

Even most of the female students in the class were obsessed with Ningzi and Deng.

As for the other small group of female classmates?

Encouraged by a blue-haired bassist in their class, they decisively chose Xiangzi & Ningzi's unorthodox faction.

The girls' world is small; Ningzi and Dengdeng only have eyes for each other and cannot pay attention to their surroundings.

"Hehe, Little Lamp, I'll stick one on you too... I'll stick all the penguins on your face!"

"Won't it be too much trouble... but as long as Xiaoning likes it, that's fine!"

Gao Songdeng had completely forgotten why she had given Ningzi the band-aid in the first place.

With a hot head and five or six different kinds of penguin bandages on her face, Takamatsu felt very happy.

Being with Xiaoning is even happier than being in the band...

Will such moments last forever?

No... Countless moments will emerge in the future to replace the beautiful moments of the present.

However, all Takamatsu Akari can do is enjoy the happiness that Ningzi brings her now.

ding ding ding-

ding ding ding-

Class begins.

"We'll talk later! Xiaodeng, turn around and go to class obediently."

"Oh…"

The lamp reluctantly turned the penguin's head away, leaving Ningzi alone.

As the teacher entered the classroom, Ningzi weighed the large bundle of band-aids in her hand.

Without the blessing of the Takamatsu lamp, these cute little things are nothing more than a pile of non-recyclable trash.

Ningzi tore off the band-aid on her neck.

In a corner where no one paid attention, Ningzi tore off the new band-aid with the penguin pattern and put it back on.

The band-aid still smelled of the light...it smelled nice.

Chapter 99. She is the real [Toyokawa Shoko]

"That's what physical education class is like."

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed.

Ningzi hid in the shade of a big tree by the playground, escaping the scorching sun with Gao Songdeng.

For Xiaodeng, today was another day of collecting stones.

The difference is that I wasn't alone when I was picking up stones today—that feeling was absolutely amazing!

"Hey, I'm telling you, it's a miscellaneous fish lantern."

"What! What!"

Ningzi's line of sight was filled with cute high school girls strolling around the playground in twos and threes. They were chatting or playing around in the sunlight, embodying the essence of youthful vitality.

"I'm saying, if it's just for gathering everyone, explaining some precautions, and warming everyone up... having to change clothes is a bit of an overreaction!"

Ningzi, clutching her obviously ill-fitting clothes, curled up a small stone she had picked up by the lamp with a look of utter despair.

The clothes were borrowed from my sister.

Because I missed the opportunity to receive new clothes at the start of the school year and was too lazy to go and get them, I had to wear my older sister's old clothes.

I've already told you that my older sister is younger than me, but she still doesn't believe me... Yuqiu's sportswear is already form-fitting, and now it's practically become a bodysuit.

However, the thought that the sportswear was soaked with her sister's sweat made Ningzi feel strangely satisfied.

My sister wore this outfit while running, long jumping, and playing volleyball. Wow, she must have sweated a lot! It must have been a really good workout!

The clothes are supposed to be the kind that absorbs sweat and evaporates quickly, but I can't wash them at school...

So when my sister came home after a long day with her sweatshirt all dirty... she didn't have time to wash it!

Ningzi knew Xiangzi's daily routine; he would usually put his dirty clothes and spare clothes into the washing machine before getting up the next morning.

So these delicious clothes will be left out overnight... they must have absorbed the flavor! They must have!

Ningzi touched her lower abdomen, but she wasn't actually touching her abdomen; she was just enjoying the feeling of her clothes being pressed against her sister's.

Hehe, delicious mixed fish, Xiao Xiang…

"Well... I did get some exercise for a while after school started, but recently there haven't been many organized activities... I also played indoor ball last week."

The lamp flipped over a large rock and picked out a pill bug from inside.

"Hehe, Xiao Xiang... Hey? What did Deng say again? The wind was so loud just now that my ears were blocked."

Gao Songdeng didn't mind and explained it again very seriously. She put the pill bug, which had shrunk into a small ball, back in her hand, covered it with a stone, and fulfilled the other party's dream of a peaceful and prosperous life.

"Ugh—it's so—boring—!"

Ningzi leaned against the tree trunk and shouted at the leaves above her head.

The leaves responded to Ningzi's call, with a few green leaves drifting down and trying to get into Ningzi's mouth, but the girl easily dodged them.

"Xiao Deng! Stop studying civil engineering! Let's go explore the school! Anyway, there's still half an hour before get out of class ends! You're not going to spend the whole class touching stones, are you?! No way, no way!"

"Ah, we've seen all the rocks here. Where would you like to go play, Xiao Ning?"

The lamp simply wiped the dirt and dust off the stones and stuffed pieces of earth and wood into his pocket.

The lantern's pockets are bulging; that's a symbol of happiness.

"Where to..."

Ningzi looked towards the playground, where many of her classmates were, but there were too many people, and she didn't like it.

Then I turned to look at the teaching building, where everyone was having classes. It would be a hassle to bring my pet penguin there by myself.

If the two of them can't stop being all lovey-dovey... then they'll be in big trouble if they get caught by a tough character like the headmaster.

Forget about playing with lights at school from now on.

Where to go?

"Astronomy Club?"

Takamatsu carefully raised her hand, and only gave her answer after receiving Ningzi's nod of permission.

However, what Toyokawa Ningko likes most is saying no to self-righteous people, arrogant people, people who are not self-righteous, and people who are not arrogant!

"No, we have to climb the stairs, so ta-me-oh."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Deng tilted his head and helped Ningzi think of places in the school where the two girls could play for an entire class period.

To be honest, she was only a student who had been enrolled for less than a month, and she was not capable of taking on forty minutes for two people.

"Lights! Is that the stadium?"

Following the direction Ningzi was looking, Deng noticed the stadium, which wasn't very big but was certainly not a small place either.

"Yes, Xiaoning, would you like to go in? There's air conditioning inside."

"Really? Is there air conditioning?"

"It's true. Last time I went in, I almost caught a cold because I wasn't wearing a coat."

"Wow!"

Ningzi envied places where people could turn on the air conditioning.

Our own little shabby house has air conditioning, but because electricity is too expensive, my sister insists on not turning it on if possible.

Father would secretly open the door and leave it open all night. My sister couldn't do anything about it, so she would just open the door a crack to let some cool air into the room.

If he is too hot to sleep or too cold to fall asleep, Xiangzi will fan himself or hold him to keep him warm until he falls into a deep sleep before he closes his eyes.

"Um…"

In the future, I must earn a lot of money so that my sister can always use air conditioning!
