Chapter 286 Forced Weakening
Horikita and Hiyori were not the type to join in the fun online, so they did not join the discussion at the first time. However, when they heard from other people that it was gossip about Ryuuen, they immediately picked up their phones.

It was unbelievable. Hiyori didn't believe that Ryuen would compete with Nanyun for a girl, and that girl was Nanyun's childhood sweetheart. Any normal person would know that Nanyun absolutely regarded Asahina as his forbidden delicacy, and Ryuen's behavior was a naked provocation.

Many students on the forum criticized Ryuen's immorality, believing that he had interfered in the relationship between childhood sweethearts Nanyun and Asahina.

However, there are also many people who are speaking up for Ryuuen. First of all, Nanyun has dated many girlfriends, but has never expressed his intention to confirm the relationship with Asahina. And judging from the angle of the picture, it is obviously Asahina who is harassing Ryuuen, and Ryuuen is the victim.

Discussion posts came one after another, and the entertainment facilities on the ship pale in comparison to the gossip. Hiyori was not one who liked to argue with others, but she was also angered by the comments of many mentally retarded students in the forum. She then tapped the screen of her mobile phone, arguing with reason.

On the other side, Horikita was also very angry. She had already broken up with Ryuuen, but she couldn't help but care about him when she saw his romantic news. Horikita knew senior Asahina. Although Asahina was not a member of the student union, she could be seen in the student union every now and then. She didn't participate in any student union affairs, but just came to chat with Nanyun, and sometimes brought some desserts to other student union members.

Horikita didn't have any particular fondness for desserts, but she couldn't refuse Asahina's enthusiasm, and Asahina's dessert-making skills were indeed outstanding. Horikita once wanted to learn it and was ready to give Ryuen a surprise after she had practiced it, but now there is no need for that at all.

I have broken up with Ryuuen now, and it seems that Ryuuen can eat the dessert made by Asahina directly, and it is not my turn at all.

Horikita was depressed. Reading one message after another on the forum gave her a headache. She turned her phone to silent mode and forced herself not to pay attention to it. Lying on the bed, Horikita tossed and turned, and finally called Hiyori.

Hiyori was also surprised that Horikita would call her. Although they had exchanged phone numbers, this was the first time Horikita called her.

"Lingyin, what's going on?"

Listening to Hiyori's gentle voice, Horikita was silent for a while, and finally said: "Have you seen the content discussed on the forum?"

This time it was Hiyori who was silent. Hiyori thought to herself, "Could it be that Horikita saw me arguing with someone online? I didn't swear, did I? How did Horikita recognize it was me?"

During the silence, Hiyori thought a lot, but in the end she just replied, "Yeah."

Now both of them were silent, each with their own thoughts, and finally Horikita spoke up: "Hiyori, didn't you ask about the specifics of Ryuen?"

Hiyori was stunned for a moment. She was so busy communicating online that she forgot that she could just ask the person involved directly. She only needed to ask Ryuen to get the most authentic result.

"No, I'll call and ask now. Bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Horikita is not qualified to ask about Ryuen's private affairs now, and can only ask Ryuen through Hiyori. After hanging up the phone with Horikita, Hiyori called Ryuen. With such a big public opinion on the Internet, it's time for Ryuen to clarify the facts.

The call was not connected directly, but rang for a while. During the waiting time, Hiyori suddenly felt a little scared. She suddenly felt that she had taken it for granted. Could it be that Ryuen really had no connection with Asahina?
He could date Horikita without telling his classmates, so what's the big deal about him flirting with a senior now?
What if, what if there really is something going on between Ryuuen and Asahina?
Hiyori's heart was in her throat when the call finally got through.

"Moshimoshi, Hiyori, what's wrong?"

Ryuuen's tone was full of concern. Usually, when Hiyori called, it was because of something very urgent. She would send a message for more mundane matters. She was always so considerate and worried that frequent calls would cause trouble for Ryuuen.

"Well, Ryuuen-kun, have you seen the discussion online? Many people are saying that you like Nanyun's childhood sweetheart, Asahina-senpai. The incident has become a big deal and public opinion is hard to control."

When Hiyori heard Ryuen's voice, her temper, which had been irritating her with netizens, suddenly calmed down. Ryuen snorted coldly. He didn't pay attention to what was happening online, but he probably guessed what happened. After all, there were indeed quite a few students watching.

"It's boring. Don't bother with these people online. Let them discuss gossip as they please. Someone will solve it."

"OK, all right."

Hiyori did not get the answer she wanted. As Ryuuen said, someone would solve the problem, most likely someone from the student union. After all, it involved the student union president, and Nanyun Masa, who attached great importance to her reputation, would not let public opinion develop.

Hiyori could imagine that Nanyun would definitely issue a clarification statement to make it clear that everything was innocent between the three of them.

Seeing that Hiyori didn't say anything and didn't hang up the phone, Ryuen asked in confusion, "Anything else?"

A sensible Hiyori shouldn't ask directly, but after hearing Ryuen's voice, Hiyori, who was still in a trance, blurted out subconsciously: "So Ryuen, do you like Asahina?"

After saying that, Hiyori covered her mouth, then released it and hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Ryuuen."

Hiyori didn't want Ryuen to feel that she was questioning him, and didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.

Ryuen didn't care: "I like all pretty girls, but this is definitely not the answer you want. Hiyori, I won't date Asahina, so you don't have to worry so much."

"Ah."

Hiyori breathed a sigh of relief. It had only been a few days since Ryuuen and Horikita broke up, and already Ryuuen was being targeted. Hiyori was quite nervous when she first got the news, but she felt much better now.

"Looks like I have to work harder too." Hiyori thought. She couldn't wait any longer like this, or else Ryuuen would be snatched away by who knows who again.

Ryuen also noticed Hiyori's initiative. Hiyori had never called him for relationship matters before. Ryuen couldn't help but frown. Hiyori was not suitable to join the Shura field around him now.

"Hiyori."

"Well, I'm here."

"Hiyori, I hope you won't fall in love during your second year."

"What do you mean?"

Hiyori opened her eyes wide, not understanding what Ryuen meant by this. Was he rejecting her? Was he asking her to wait for a year? Or was there something else he meant?
"Literally. Don't think too much and just spend your second year peacefully."

"Oh~"

Hiyori answered reluctantly. Even though Ryuuen told her not to think too much about it, how could Hiyori not think too much about it?
