"...Huh? Haven't we always had a pretty good relationship?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"What I mean is... wait a minute, let me think about how to say it."

Ryo Yamada racked his brains for words, but in the end he realized that there seemed to be no tactful way to put it.

Seeing the puzzled Nekoyashiki Haru, Yamada Ryo sighed in resignation.

"Although your reactions are much slower because you can't see, I want to tell you something..."

Yamada Ryo's voice was flat. He squinted for a moment, then opened his eyes as if he had made up his mind, and then spoke as if making a declaration.

"Hongxia and Yudai both like you."

Chapter 137 Why

Meow!

On the wall beam by the road, a black cat let out a sharp meow, then ran away following Xiao Tuan's shadow.

Two people were facing each other under the beam of the wall.

"...What kind of new joke is this?"

After a slight lapse in concentration, Nekoyashiki Haru picked at her ears.

"Not funny, that's lame."

"I know that kind of joke isn't funny."

Yamada Ryo nodded and said.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent, then asked.

"So it's true?"

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"Did they tell you?"

Nekoyashiki Haru then asked.

"No."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"...No, I don't understand, why would someone like me?"

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

“Nijika… just like we said before, I can understand that for now, but why is Ikuyo doing this?”

"I do not know."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"...How did you find out?"

“The expressions and actions they make when they are with you that you can’t see… are quite obvious to me.”

Yamada Ryo continued.

"I was singing love songs to you at karaoke today."

"...Isn't this what karaoke is all about...Kiku and the others often sing this kind of duet too."

Nekoyashiki Haru was puzzled, while Yamada Ryo was taken aback.

He then shook his head and continued.

"In short, they are different."

"... "

"Don't you believe it?"

Yamada Ryo stared blankly at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I believe you halfway. I believe you halfway because Liang is serious, and I don't believe you halfway because I don't think I have that much charm."

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head, her lips involuntarily pursing tightly.

"So when exactly is it?"

"It must have been a long time ago, around the time of our first official live performance celebration party, the two of them should have already had a conversation."

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru's purple, fragmented pupils widened behind her sunglasses.

Yamada Ryo continued.

"They should know that they both like you."

"I think the argument was about this?"

"should."

"...That's a little bit..."

"Unimaginable?"

"I asked Yamada Ryo."

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a long time, then nodded.

"... "

Yamada Ryo clenched his fist slightly, then relaxed it.

"Perhaps I'm wrong. Just pretend you didn't hear what I just said."

Yamada Ryo turned to leave.

"Good night."

"…Wait a moment."

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly called out to Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at the boy.

Nekoyashiki Haru spoke.

"Is Liang worried?"

"...What are you worried about? You? Or them?"

"band."

"... "

Yamada Ryo turned around and faced Nekoyashiki Haru again.

"Ah."

"…I see."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"I'll try to confirm it later..."

"…Feel sorry."

Yamada Ryo suddenly apologized.

Why apologize?

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned.

"...It's okay, I'll go back now."

Yamada Ryo sighed, suddenly feeling a little tired. Without waiting for Nekoyashiki Haru's response, he ran straight into the darkness.

Nekoyashiki Haru subconsciously reached out her hand, but soon heard Yamada Ryo's hurried footsteps, so she slowly lowered it.

"...Nijika and Yuyo...both like me?"

Nekoyashiki Haru muttered softly to herself.

This is really hard to believe.

If it were just Nijika, then Nekoyashiki Haru could be attributed to childhood bias. Although he thought he had resolved the so-called childhood factor, even if he told himself that he hadn't actually resolved it and that Nijika just liked him, Nekoyashiki Haru would be shocked, but not unable to believe it.

But why does Yuyo like me?

A blind person, a blind man.

Nekoyashiki Haru's hand was pressed against the wall next to her.

"I can't see anything at all."

What's so great about me?

In daily interactions, the relationship should remain within the scope of good friends and mentor/apprentice...

So if Liang's judgment was correct, then why did this happen...?

[Shima called.]

The phone suddenly rang, and Nekoyashiki Haru was startled.

Then he shakily took his phone out of his pocket.

My fingers could only swipe slowly across the phone screen.

The calluses on my fingers rubbed against each other, like scraping tree bark with a file, full of resistance.
