Chapter 132: Fire and Ice

Shido and Yukino were walking to school together, but he was walking a step ahead of her so that they wouldn't seem too close with each other.

But in the eyes of others, it was a bit too intimate. After all, Shido would barely talk to girls, and Yukino also didn't like talking to boys very much, so the image of the two of them walking together made others have to speculate about their relationship.

Among them, Yumiko Miura, who had just come to the school, stared blankly at the two who walked into the campus together and gritted her teeth.

She naturally knew who Yukino was, after all, she was the top of her grade, and because of her sister Haruno, she was also very famous in the school.

Yukino walking with Shido made her worried, feeling that Shido would like the cold beauty if she approached Shido.

At this time, Yumiko suddenly remembered the words of encouragement from Yui yesterday. She really had to be more active. After all, unlike last year, there were more and more girls approaching Shido.

So, Yumiko plunged up her courage, then she walked toward Shido, chuckled lightly, and greeted him:

"Itsuka-kun, good morning..."

"Good morning."

Shido nodded and replied.

"This is Yukinoshita-san, right?"

Yukiko glanced at Yukino, who was on the side, and looked at the distance between the two. They were kinda far apart, so at least they didn't develop into a romantic relationship.

"Um."

Yukino said calmly.

"By the way! Are Itsuka-kun and Yukinoshita-san familiar with each other? Why did you come to school together?"

Yumiko asked casually, but it was obvious that she was testing the relationship between Shido and Yukino.

"We met on the way here, so we walked over together!"

Yukino replied on his behalf; she didn't want Shido to tell the story about the pet shop.

"Oh?"

Yumiko frowned. Although this answer was much better than living together, it was enough to prove that the two had known each other before, and the relationship was also quite good, otherwise it would be impossible to see each other on the way and walk to school together.

"Speaking of which, Yukinoshita-san and Hayama seem to be childhood sweethearts, right?"

Yumiko rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of a way to mess with Yukino.

"So what?"

Yukino asked coldly. She and Hayama were indeed childhood sweethearts, but they were only acquaintances, and she didn't really like talking to people.

It's just that Hayama had a good relationship with her sister, so they had many opportunities to meet each other.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious if the cold beauty Yukino Yukinoshita would be attracted to a handsome guy like Hayama..."

Yumiko said casually.

Yukino frowned. She could naturally feel that the blonde was using Hayama to mock her, and the reason was naturally Shido.

This girl loves Shido!

Yukino was certain that this would explain her behavior, but she couldn't resist fighting back against such cynicism.

Therefore, Yukino smiled calmly and said:

"I don't like that type of guy, but I heard that Miura-san and Hayama are quite close, and even hang out together after class. Could it be that you two are already dating?"

"No!"

Yumiko retorted without the slightest hesitation. She and Hayama were just friends and never had any ideas in that regard.

From beginning to end, she likes...

She glanced at Shido next to her, and saw that the other party was silent. Then, she suddenly realized that the position she was standing in was in the middle of the two, which meant that she was at least equal to Yukino.

But what she didn't know was that Shido was thinking about her relationship with Yukino. It seemed that these two girls were incompatible.

One was the Ice Beauty and the other was the Fire Queen, and they have completely different personalities, and it was quite easy to quarrel if they disagreed on something.

Yumiko was the easy-going type of girl. If she was unhappy, she would say it directly. It's actually good to have her as your friend, at least you wouldn't have to worry about getting stabbed in the back.

Therefore, although Yumiko looked rather domineering, she still had quite a few friends.

In the face of Yumiko's blunt ridicule, Yukino would not give in easily either. Even though her expression looked relatively indifferent, she would still fight back with everything in her power.

Because of this, when these two met, it would be easy to start a fight!

"Okay, how about we go in first? We are blocking the schoolgate."

Shido smiled slightly, preventing the two from continuing to quarrel.

He wondered, how would Hayama feel if he heard the conversation between these two?

"This is for you."

Yumiko stopped talking to Yukino, and handed Shido a small bag.

"What is this?"

Shido asked curiously.

"Cookies! Didn't you say you didn't like chocolate last time? I thought it wouldn't be fair not to give you something, so I made cookies..."

Yumiko explained softly with a little blush on her cheeks. In fact, she had already thought of a good reason to give Shido cookies.

"This..."

Shido was a little hesitant, thinking that if he didn't accept it this time, Yumiko would still make other things for him.

So after thinking about it, he didn't turn down the other party's cookie, but held it gently, and said:

"Thank you! But Miura-san doesn't actually need to do so much, it's a little too troublesome, so you don't have to make them for me next time."

"Um."

Yumiko replied casually, not knowing if she heard it.

In fact, she was very happy that Shido accepted it. After all, this was a good opportunity to reflect her femininity. As long as Shido thought it was delicious, it would naturally increase his favorability to her!

Originally, she was not so bold as to give it directly to Shido, but due to the threat presented by Yukino, she decided to go one step further.

In this way, she was one step ahead of Yukino.

Seeing Shido accepting the cookies, she glanced at Yukino defiantly, and then walked back towards the classroom without waiting for her to say anything.
