Chapter 53 The Girl Rides Right in My Face! (Please vote with monthly tickets~)

Of course, Gen Tsukino didn't leave. Did he think he could just leave whenever he was told to? Did he have no pride?

However, it wasn't something that Tsukino Gen could find hard to accept, not because he had any fetish for getting excited when a beautiful girl insulted him.

It's pointless to argue with Asagiri Rin about these things now; she won't change as I want, and I can't arrogantly say I want to change her.

After a brief bickering session, the atmosphere in the activity room returned to calm, and the two went about their own business, one looking at his phone and the other reading comics.

One was nestled in a comfortable and luxurious single sofa, while the other could only lean against the back of an ordinary chair.

Gen Tsukino stretched.

I put down my comic book for a moment and glanced at the girl who had been in the same position for a long time. I wondered if she had any back pain.

"Didn't you say you had something to do? Why have you been looking at your phone the whole time?"

Asagiri Rin adjusted her posture; to be honest, she had been in that position for too long, and her shoulders were a little sore.

She didn't know why she stayed in that position; it was probably because she saw that Tsukino Gen wasn't moving, so she subconsciously didn't want to move.

Anyone who didn't know better would think the two were playing some kind of game where whoever makes the first move is the dog.

"Who said anything happened?"

"Why did you call me over if there's nothing wrong?"

Tsukino Gendo asked.

Upon hearing this, Asagiri Rin's expression became somewhat tense, especially as she thought about what she was about to say, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"First, I didn't say I needed you to come over. Second, you came right away when I told you to; you're really obedient."

Gen Tsukino glanced at her. "Playing word games, huh? Don't you know that trust between people becomes fragile because of people like you?"

"There was never any trust between us to begin with, so how can you say we're vulnerable?"

Asagiri Rin leaned comfortably against the sofa, lazily raising her eyebrows, seemingly in complete control of everything. She was as elegant as a queen strategizing with masterful skill.

"I ran into Saionji-senpai when I came here."

Tsukino Gen suddenly spoke.

Asagiri Rin paused, narrowing her eyes as she looked at Tsukino Gen, "Why are you telling me this? Are you reporting to me?"

"I'm not reporting anything to you. She just told me some things about you."

"what?"

Gen Tsukino didn't answer. He leaned back in his chair leisurely, took out his phone, and looked at something.

Asagiri Rin tightened her fingers instantly, as if she wanted to tear the armrest of the sofa.

Seeing that Tsukino Gen was really not going to say anything, she couldn't help but say, "Hey, just say what you have to say."

"Don't I have a name? Hello, who is this?"

".Tsukino Gen"

Her voice sounded like it was being deliberately squeezed out, as if she wanted to force all the danger out of her throat.

They turned his name into a threat.

Gen Tsukino looked at her and said, "It's nothing, he just sent me a photo."

"What photo?"

"It was filmed yesterday."

".oh."

Asagiri Rin frowned slightly, wondering why Saionji Karen hadn't sent the photos directly to her, but instead sent them to Tsukino Gen.

What do you want to do?

But it wasn't appropriate to show that now, so she pretended to be indifferent.

Tsukino Gen asked, "Have you seen the photos?"

"I haven't seen it, I'm not interested."

she says.

Gen Tsukino nodded. "Oh, I was thinking that if she didn't send it to you, I would send it to you. But it seems you don't really need it."

Rin Asagiri:? ? ?

So, you're going to pull this stunt, aren't you?

"Don't try that on me, I don't want it."

"Really not?"

Gen Tsukino squinted and leaned forward tentatively.

The girl with dark eyes stared at him, as if she didn't want to be the first to look away, lest she appear afraid of meeting his gaze.

Whether she was proactive or reactive, it had always been important to her.

She didn't give up looking into his eyes; instead, she smiled.

"What, do you really like using this trick on girls?"

"Which one?"

Gen Tsukino looked puzzled.

The girl chuckled, her smile both alluring and dangerous. "Then keep playing dumb. I'm not as easily fooled as the girls you know."

Gen Tsukino really wanted to ask who those girls were.

Suddenly my phone rang.

Asagiri Rin frowned and subconsciously looked over, but Tsukino Gen answered the phone directly.

"Hey?"

"Are you home now?"

Hearing Kazama Sakura's voice, Tsukino Gen glanced at Asagiri Rin, but the girl quickly changed her expression, reverting to her indifferent demeanor.

"No, I'm in the activity room."

"Activity room? Is it the room for club activities?"

"Ah."

"You've joined a club? Perfect, I'm in a club too. Where are you? I'll come find you."

Tsukino Gen asked him in surprise, "Didn't you take leave?"

"Yeah, I just arrived at school. Where are you?"

".215."

Even though Asagiri Rin didn't seem to be looking in his direction at all, and seemed completely uninterested in what she was saying, Tsukino Gen hesitated for a moment before revealing where he was.

The phone hangs up.

Tsukino Gen thought it would be better for him to go out now; the two girls meeting was probably not a good thing.

"A friend is looking for me, I have to go now."

Gen Tsukino prepared to get up and leave, going to the corridor to wait for Sakura Kazama.

But Rin Asagiri said, "What, is it embarrassing for people to know you're in my club?"

Her expression was indifferent, without arrogance or pretense, as if she were her most authentic self.

“That’s not true.”

"Then sit down."

This time, it really felt like issuing a command.

Gen Tsukino wasn't really guilty, but he was very suspicious of the girl's intentions. What was she hoping for?
As I hesitated, footsteps approached the door, followed by a knock.

"Dong dong dong."

Before Tsukino Gen could respond, Asagiri Rin raised her head slightly and said, "Please come in."

The knocking outside paused for a moment.

It seemed that a voice had been heard that was enough to raise doubts.

But soon.

"Crench."

She opened the door directly, a decision that surprised even Tsukino Gen.

Then he saw Kazama Sakura, looking somewhat hurried, standing at the junction of the doorway and the corridor.

She stood there gracefully, her back straight, a smile on her face that even Tsukino Gen felt was unfamiliar. Confident and poised, she seemed to possess the courage to face anything.

However, Tsukino Gen clearly saw that the moment Kazama Sakura saw Asagiri Rin sitting in her seat, the girl's pupils visibly contracted, causing her entire eyelash to tremble.

Gen Tsukino had no intention of staying out of it, and he spoke first.

"Didn't you ask for leave? Why are you here now?"

Kazama Sakura smiled and walked towards Tsukino Gen. The docile and obedient girl standing next to the boy naturally led people to wonder if there was a close relationship between them.

After all, when you meet someone, the joy that comes from the bottom of your heart and overflows from your eyes cannot be faked, especially since she is not pretending at all now.

"I came here because I finished my work and wanted to see you."

She spoke directly and boldly, and a natural blush rose to her cheeks.

At that moment, Asagiri Rin stood up.

"Are you Kazama Sakura?"

Kazama Sakura seemed surprised that the girl would speak to her first, and she smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Asagiri-kun. I didn't expect that A-Xuan joined your club."

Ah-Xian?

What a disgusting name.

Looking at the boy again, he didn't seem to think anything was wrong. Was this the first time he had been called that?

Dog men and women.

I made the definition right in my mind.

"Is it because we didn't expect it, or because we didn't want it to happen?"

She tilted her head slightly, resting her cheek in her hand, her posture exuding ease and confidence.

Kazama Sakura was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to say that.

"What does Asagiri-kun mean? I don't quite understand."

"Is playing dumb something you learned from him? But don't worry. What you're worried about won't happen. What you value isn't necessarily treasured by everyone."

It seems that attacking one person is not enough; even Tsukino Gen, who hasn't said a word, is included in the attack.

Kazama Sakura frowned slightly.

Although the girl in front of me made me feel the gap between us the moment I saw her, I didn't dare to speak too loudly even when I looked into her eyes.

But perhaps it was because of Tsukino Gen's presence, or perhaps it was because her aggressive instincts aroused her desire to resist.

She held her breath and looked at the other person.

"I think Asagiri has misunderstood something. It's not that he's important because I value him, but rather that he deserves to be valued."

After saying that, Asagiri Rin laughed.

She laughed casually, as if she were mocking something.

Until she was willing to change her posture, stand up, and then walk towards Kazama Sakura.

Sakura Kazama hesitated for a moment, but she managed not to take a step back, even though she really felt threatened.

Even just a glance.

She walked up to him like that.

"What does it matter to me whether he's worth it or not? That's ridiculous. Of course, it's equally ridiculous if you think that saying things like that to me will make him completely yours."

After saying that, Asagiri Rin tilted her head back and walked between the two of them.

Her hair bounced slightly over her shoulders, leaving behind a memorable fragrance.

Then, like a queen on high above, she proudly made her exit.

She didn't close the door, and left seemingly easily and casually, as if she didn't look back or have any lingering thoughts.

Tsukino Gen and Kazama Sakura were left standing there. The boy turned his head and glanced at the girl, whose expression was somewhat silent and who seemed not to have adjusted yet.

"Don't overthink it. That's just how she talks; she's never likable."

Sakura Kazama looked up at Gen Tsukino and shook her head with a smile.

"I'm fine now. I won't be scared so easily. I'm in a good state of mind."

She even posed with her slender, fair arms, seemingly trying to sculpt her biceps.

Gen Tsukino couldn't help but laugh.

"Did you know I was with her, so you came to see for yourself?"

Kazama Sakura blinked innocently, "I heard from my senior that she saw you go into Asagiri's activity room, and you said yourself last time that she interviewed you."

Gen Tsukino nodded. "He's gone astray. Now he can even act and lie."

Hearing these words, but seeing no reproach or dissatisfaction on Tsukino Gen's face, the girl playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Girls are all a little bit cunning, and I'm no exception."

"Alright, you win. By the way, what brings you here at this hour?"

Relaxed, the girl exclaimed excitedly, "Of course, it's to thank you for your help yesterday! I'm treating you to dinner!"

"Oh, let's go then."

"Hmm."

Sakura Kazama was the first to walk out of the activity room, followed by Gen Tsukino, who was carrying a schoolbag and casually closed the classroom door.

"boom."

The moment the car door closed, Asagiri Rin tossed her schoolbag into the corner of the back seat.

She leaned back in her seat, tilted her head back slightly, and closed her eyes.

It seems like she's processing some kind of emotion.

The car started slowly, with a slight bump.

She slowly opened her eyes again, and in the dim light of the back seat, her pupils looked like black bullets.

The image in his mind was of that girl standing beside him, obedient and ingratiating.

It's just like the past self that I least want to face.

Perhaps we should try to imagine: if those unforeseen events hadn't happened, would we be the ones standing beside him?
She pressed her phone in frustration.

"Why are you sending me photos when we're not even friends?"
