In fact,
Both Hayato and Yukino Fuyumi noticed each other before Nanao Akane did.
It was just that Yukino Fuyumi adhered to the idea of "why should I greet you first," so she didn't initiate contact with Hayato.
As for Hayato's thoughts, they were also very direct and clear:
"If you don't acknowledge me, why should I acknowledge you?" Besides, this Miss Yukino had a strange temper, and Hayato respected all her choices.
However, if you're going to pretend not to know me, then pretend completely. The fact that even Nanao Akane, this idiot, noticed, really says something about you.
To this, Hayato could only evaluate with one word: "unprofessional."
After their not-so-friendly greeting, Nanao Akane looked at Hayato, then at the "snow-white" woman across the aisle from him.
Yes.
Nanao Akane's first impression of this woman was "snow-white."
Her hair and skin were as pure white as snow, and her eyes were like ice crystals, pure and noble.
Her age should be a bit older than both herself and Kobayashi-chan, but exactly how old... Nanao Akane couldn't pinpoint it. A girl's age can become unjudgable due to makeup, especially in the range of eighteen to thirty.
Is she a college student? Nanao Akane wondered.
As Nanao Akane observed Yukino Fuyumi, the latter was also looking at her.
Although the boy only mentioned it briefly, Yukino Fuyumi still remembered her name... Nanao Akane. "Akane"... a very girlish name, quite fitting for the pretty and charming girl in front of her.
This girl's age matched the boy's,
Moreover, her intimate gesture of resting her head on the boy's shoulder just now truly seemed like a couple... No, the word "seemed" wasn't quite accurate.
Yukino Fuyumi had already learned from the boy that the girl was his girlfriend, and they were a match made in heaven.
It was precisely because she knew this
that Yukino Fuyumi couldn't control her gaze, constantly looking at the two of them.
Sour.
Yukino Fuyumi's expression even turned into?△? at one point.
"Kobayashi-chan, aren't you going to introduce us?" Nanao Akane whispered.
Yukino Fuyumi's beauty shocked her, and a girl's unique sense of crisis swept over her.
"Oh, her name is Yukino Fuyumi. She's my neighbor, she lives upstairs from my house," Hayato said.
"Neighbor," Yukino Fuyumi repeated in a low, gritted voice.
This word could indeed peacefully summarize their relationship. If anything else were said, it would probably lead to a story of "nuclear peace." Moreover, the concept of "we are just neighbors, don't think anything else" was proposed by Yukino Fuyumi herself.
But whenever Hayato actually said it, a surge of bitter resentment always rose from the bottom of her heart.
"What's wrong?" Hayato asked.
"Nothing," Yukino Fuyumi's cheeks puffed out slightly.
"Hello, Miss Yukino, my name is Nanao Akane, and I'm Kobayashi-chan's..." Nanao Akane originally wanted to say "classmate." She had never been a very aggressive person.
Even though she had Hayato's acknowledgment, and they were indeed dating.
However, when talking to unfamiliar people, she would still use the reserved terms "friend" or "classmate," especially in front of unfamiliar and older elders.
But this time, she stopped mid-sentence, as if suddenly remembering something.
"Wait a moment," Nanao Akane opened her phone's memo and started searching for something.
...Misaka... Yuigahama... Mashiro... Mai... Yukino!
