Ms. Tachibana was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Her brain, which had been stuck for a moment, raced through her mind as she racked her brains to come up with a reason.

As time ticked by, and she felt a chill run down her spine as she endured Aoki Hina's gaze.

I feel like my stomach is starting to hurt.

Compared to the flustered and nervous Tachibana Rin, Aoki Hina's expression was unexpectedly calm.

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Her calm and gentle tone almost made Tachibana Rin feel dazed, and she couldn't help but look bewildered.

Huh?

Yang Jie wasn't angry?

Rin Tachibana slowly approached Hina Aoki, and seeing that she still didn't move, she carefully returned to the sofa and sat at the other end, a little further away from Hina Aoki.

"Why are you sitting so far away?" Hina Aoki asked.

I'm just afraid you'll pull my hair.

Rin Tachibana thought to herself.

Without Toru Tazaki present, Ms. Tachibana seemed to suddenly revert to her original form, becoming a mouse in the presence of a cat.

She had no choice but to recount in detail what had happened when she was alone with Tazaki Toru.

After learning that Tazaki Toru did this to protect Tachibana Rin from injury, Aoki Hina surprisingly did not blame Tachibana Rin.

The quieter Yang-jie was, the more flustered Tachibana Rin became, fearing that this was the calm before the storm.

Miss Tachibana took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Sister Yang, you can hit me or scold me all you want, I definitely won't fight back."

"But don't pull my hair, it took me a long time to grow it long."

Hina Aoki was speechless.

What kind of person does this woman think she is?

Is Aoki Hina the kind of woman who, because her best friend was competing with her for a man, started bullying her within the group, punching and kicking her, borrowing the lead singer's baseball bat to hit her, and even secretly cutting her guitar strings before a concert to embarrass her on stage? Is she such a vicious and heartless woman?

If Tachibana Rin could hear Aoki Hina's inner thoughts, even if she denied it verbally, she would most likely think to herself:

Hard to say.

Everyone knows you, Aoki Hina, are practically obsessed with him. Who knows what you might do because of him?

Seeing that Tachibana Rin remained seated at the other end of the sofa without moving, Aoki Hina had no choice but to move closer to her.

However, for every bit of Aoki Hina that got closer, Tachibana Rin would silently move away.

When there was no more room for her to back down, Tachibana Rin got up and sat down elsewhere.

Hina Aoki immediately crossed her arms, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing into a deep frown.

"Kubo Akira, don't push your luck!"

Rin Tachibana was startled again.

Immediately, the girl's lips pursed, and she cast a pitiful look at Hina Aoki, as if an invisible tail was swaying back and forth behind her.

Seeing the girl's helpless and aggrieved expression, Hina Aoki's heart softened.

After a long pause, Hina Aoki let out a helpless sigh.

Why her of all people?

If it were any other girl, Hina Aoki would be confident enough to harden her heart and declare war on the other party without fear.

Hina Aoki's tone softened: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean to you."

"........."

Rin Tachibana dared not speak.

Hina Aoki gave up on getting any closer to her, her hands resting on her knees, her fingers intertwined.

This clearly shows that Hina Aoki was also going through a period of inner turmoil.

She didn't know how to start the conversation.

Admittedly, Hina Aoki has a million ways to seduce Rin Tachibana.

With Tachibana Rin's intelligence, she would fall into the verbal trap set by Aoki Hina in no time.

This is a small matter that Hina Aoki can handle.

But they are friends.

For Hina Aoki, Rin Tachibana was her most precious friend in the world.

She couldn't use the same tactics she used on other girls on Tachibana Rin.

The long, dull silence seemed to imprison the two girls, along with the space itself, as if even the air had solidified into a tangible substance.

a long time.

Hina Aoki closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she looked at her best friend, her confidante, her sister with utmost seriousness…

He slowly began to speak:

"Rin-chan, are you...?"

"You like Tazaki-kun?"

345. When it comes to turning the tables, it has to be Sister Lin.

These unexpected words left Tachibana Rin momentarily bewildered.

Rin Tachibana never expected that Yang-nee would ask such a direct question.

Without any preamble or warning, the most direct question was posed.

When she realized she hadn't misheard, Tachibana Rin's expression suddenly changed.

"Huh?! I...I like him?!"

"Don't joke around! How could I possibly like a guy who only has music on his mind and is incredibly boring?"

"Look, that guy Tazaki is a genius who can go without food or drink and lock himself in the music room for ten or fifteen days at a time just to write songs."

"In the end, we'll have to take care of him, feed him water and food. I can't stand him!"

Hina Aoki remained silent, simply watching Rin Tachibana in silence.

Feeling guilty under her friend's gaze, Tachibana Rin nervously clenched the hem of her dress, her little brain still working, racking her brains to come up with a way to cover it up.

"I'm going to find a man who loves me 100%, is faithful, can't stand other girls, listens to me, and never disobeys me."

"Look at Tazaki, where is there even a single one of those qualities I mentioned in him?!"

"Only you would like a songwriting freak like that!"

Aoki Hina remained calm and spoke slowly:

"Tasaki-kun has always indulged you. No matter how much trouble you cause him, he has always done what you wanted."

"Isn't this considered completely obedient to you?"

Rin Tachibana was instantly stunned.

Hmm... that's true.

"But...but...but I don't like him!"

"This only shows he lacks his own opinions! Does being an obedient man mean I have to like him?!"

Seeing that Tachibana Rin had another excuse, Aoki Hina felt a sense of helplessness once again.

Even when death is imminent, he's still being stubborn.

Suddenly, Tachibana Rin continued:

"Oshima Haruna, have you gone mad from fighting with them for a man? You're even suspecting your best friend!"

"........."

When it comes to turning the tables, it has to be Sister Lin.

However, Tachibana Rin's intense reaction was too formulaic and unoriginal, exactly what Aoki Hina had in mind.

Hina Aoki didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

Sigh, headache, silence.

A jumble of emotions arose haphazardly in her mind, like a tangled mess of headphone wires, enough to make her feel uneasy just by looking at it.

He saw that Aoki Hina neither spoke nor pulled her hair.

Rin Tachibana swallowed hard, craning her neck to keep a close eye on Hina Aoki's expression. If there was any sign of trouble, she would get up and run away without looking back.

The girl said cautiously, "Sister Yang, you're just being too sensitive. I definitely won't argue with you."

"The kind of person who is always having affairs outside, can you count how many female voice actresses he has hooked up with?"

"I have no respect for people who are fickle."

"Really? But the way you treated him just now didn't seem like you disliked him. You even seemed to want to blow on his arm."

Rin Tachibana blushed with embarrassment, wanting to accuse the woman of slandering her without cause.

"I...I had a reason for this, didn't I?"

"Even if I, your sister Lin, am heartless, I'm not the kind of person who would argue and refuse to admit my mistakes after making them."

"I just felt guilty because he was injured!"

Hina Aoki thought to herself, "Keep being stubborn."

Seeing that she would not admit it no matter what, Aoki Hina lost all will to confront her.

Just as Tachibana Rin found it difficult to face her, Aoki Hina also found it difficult to face Tachibana Rin.

"In that case, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Sorry, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my room to rest first."
