I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

"I'm glad to hear you say you like me."

Saito Yan continued after careful consideration: "But I already had someone I liked a long time ago, and I only like her.

"So I can't accept your feelings. I'm really sorry, and I'm very grateful that you like me."

When Mizuno Haru only heard "I can't accept your feelings", tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.

He already has someone he likes...

The girl sobbed and ran down the stairs to the rooftop.

As she ran down the stairs, she saw a familiar figure - Hoshino Ai.

But she didn't have the heart to think about this matter at the moment. She had just been rejected and wanted to listen to Sayuri's advice and counseling.

"Oh..." Saito Hiko walked down the stairs with a feeling of loss, thinking it would be Hoshino Ai.

Unexpectedly, without using his brain, there was indeed a surprise, but it was not the surprise he expected...

Next time you encounter something like this, think more about it.

Otherwise it wouldn't be embarrassing.

Saito Hiko closed the iron door of the rooftop and went downstairs. As soon as he walked down the stairs, he saw Hoshino Ai.

Didn't she leave first? Why is she here?

Chapter 35 Understanding of Love

"Ai, why are you here?" Saito Hiko instantly guessed that she was here, probably because of him, but he didn't say it out loud.

If not, it would be really embarrassing.

"I just met the teacher, and she asked me to help move some things." Hoshino Ai said the lie she had already prepared in her mind. After she finished speaking, she turned and left. She really wanted to know who wrote to Saito Hiko to ask him out, so after leaving the classroom, she secretly followed Saito Hiko to the rooftop and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

But the information she heard made her feel unhappy.

Saito Hiko was unable to immediately see through the lie that Hoshino Ai had prepared in advance, because she was very calm when she said this, without any panic at all.

…calm?

Shouldn't it be? Although he said in the morning that someone had made an appointment with him, he was worried about upsetting her at that time, so he never mentioned where the agreed location was.

Then why is she here? And if it is a coincidence, she should be a little grateful, right?

Was it a lie that we met here by chance while moving things?

"Since you haven't started practicing yet, why don't we go back to the classroom and continue studying?" Saito Hiko did not expose the lie that he had seen through, but trotted after him.

"No need, I still have to go to practice today." Hoshino Ai refused flatly, and she quickly walked away from Saito Hiko.

"Wait a minute! You must have misunderstood me somewhere!" Saitohiko explained directly, "I did not accept Mizuno-san's confession."

"Whether you accept her confession or not has nothing to do with me." Hoshino Ai continued to walk forward and said, "Since you have someone you like for a long time, you should go find her instead of flirting with other women."

Sure enough, there was a misunderstanding... But did she hear the conversation just now?

No wonder I saw Hoshino Ai as soon as I went down the stairs.

But since she didn't leave quietly after hearing it, there is still a chance.

Saitohiko analyzed the information and replied, "You are wrong. That was just an excuse I used to politely reject Mizuno-san."

"Really?" Hoshino Ai did not stop.

Misunderstandings are such an annoying thing.

"Yes." Saitohiko continued, "Didn't we say this the day we met? From the beginning, I was a prisoner of love and I only like to love one person."

"You're lying!" Hoshino Ai retorted, "We've only known each other for less than a week. We didn't know each other before."

"So, it was love at first sight." Saito Hiko recalled Hoshino Ai's words that were like stars, and spoke with his emotions.

"You're so cunning. You blurt out words like 'like' and 'love' so easily." Hoshino Ai ran away in resistance.

She didn't understand what so-called "love" meant, she had only seen it in movies, TV shows and novels.

Love at first sight made her feel even more unfamiliar.

She resisted subconsciously, thinking that these words were just Saito Hiko's sweet talk directed at her.

"I don't expect you to accept it right now." Saito Yan ran after him, and continued breathlessly: "I'll wait for you... take your time, it's okay."

"You say these things, but you don't really love me!" Hoshino Ai felt that Saito Hiko's constant and easy words of shame were too fake, and perhaps they were also fabricated lies.

"No... this is exactly the opposite of what you said." Saito Yan retorted, but as soon as he finished speaking.

I can't help but ask myself, why do I like Hoshino Ai? Do I really like her now?

"I like you very much. I can't help myself." Saito Hiko answered without any hesitation.

He sped up and approached Hoshino Ai and grabbed her hand.

"Let go!" Xingye Ai struggled hard, "You said that, but your words and actions are not what you said! You are clearly wearing a heavy mask!"

Hoshino Ai blurted out these words, which were the conclusions she came to based on her unthoughtful feelings.

"I don't have a mask!" Saito Hiko felt that Hoshino Ai was getting deeper and deeper into misunderstandings, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"If I hadn't fallen in love with you at first sight, how could I have helped you so much?"

"Don't deceive yourself! Your attitude towards me from the beginning was not love! It was definitely not love!"

Seeing Saito Hiko so stubbornly wearing the mask, Hoshino Ai continued in a very aggressive way: "You are just pitying me and feeling sorry for me like everyone else! I don't need pity! Go away!"

"Don't let your emotions overwhelm your reason." When Saito Hiko heard the question, the first thing he thought of was to comfort the emotional Hoshino Ai.

"I'm very rational now!" Hoshino Ai stopped and looked at Saito Yan who was holding her hand and said indifferently: "If you keep saying that you like me, love me and so on, but approach me with the idea of ​​pity or salvation, then please leave me and don't come near me again!"

What's the matter?

Saito Yan didn't think about it, but replied without hesitation: "You can't deny the people who care about you now because of the influence of the past. I know that you have never received love from others, but you can't classify my feelings as pity. It will hurt me!"

Saito Hiko didn't understand why Hoshino Ai, who was fine just now and even seemed jealous, suddenly exploded.

"You are someone who doesn't understand what love is just like me." Hoshino Ai could sense some similarities between her and Saito Hiko, "yet you insist on pretending to be like this! It's really annoying!"

Is it because I say things like "like" and "love" too easily and that makes her feel disgusted?

Saito Yan was thinking about the answer in his heart, but he responded: "Maybe your understanding of love is different from mine."

"There are misunderstandings about love? Stop joking!" Hoshino Ai was surprised to hear this for the first time.

"Then please tell me what is your understanding of 'love'? What do you think love is? What is it?" Saito Hiko asked, looking into Hoshino Ai's eyes.

"I don't know..." Hoshino Ai couldn't imagine what love was like, but she still described it, "I think love is probably to make the person you love happy. You want to make him happy? You want to be with the person you love?..."

"Don't you think this answer is empty?" Saito Hiko asked, "Your tone is full of uncertainty, and you don't even understand what love is."

"Right! I don't understand love! I don't understand it at all!" Hoshino Ai shouted in self-destruction, "Since I was a child, I have lived alone with my mother, but she still beat and scolded me, and even put glass fragments in my rice for me to eat. Even so, she abandoned me in the end! She never had any feelings for me! How could I, who grew up in such an environment, understand what love is! I have never even received the most easily obtained maternal love from her!"

Chapter 36 Invitation

Hoshino Ai became more and more sad as she spoke. Tears could not help but flow from the corners of her eyes. She choked up and continued, "All I know about love is a superficial understanding from books. How can I possibly know what love is? It is even more impossible for me to understand what love is."

"So you keep saying things like liking me and loving me, which makes me feel so cheap. Even from the very beginning when I saw you, I saw you looking at me with a special look, which was neither liking nor loving me. I thought it was good to have someone caring about me, but you keep mentioning 'it' like this. I hate your inconsistent behavior with your body and words."

Hoshino Ai has not performed on stage yet, and the lie called love has not yet begun. She is still at the age where she is obsessed with love. Unlike the future, she is not used to telling lies called love on the stage.

Listening to Hoshino Ai's crying voice, Saito Hiko wanted to hold her in his arms and pat her on the back to comfort her, but he was worried that she would resist, so he could only carefully hold her hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to provoke you..."

"Wu... You said you liked me and loved me, and I was very happy at first. But when I realized that you have never loved anyone, I no longer feel happy when I hear it now. I even feel sad. If you don't really like me, why did you say it? To fool me? Wu..." After Hoshino Ai started crying, she talked about Saito Hiko and only thought of the scenes that made her sad, "Wu... This is too much... Wuwu..."

"I never thought of fooling you." Saito Hiko sighed in his heart.

"The reason I said that is to make it easier for you to realize that someone loves you." Saito Hiko put his feelings into his words and looked at Hoshino Ai affectionately, "It is because I like you and want you to be happy that I want to use words to express my feelings of liking and loving you, but I didn't expect that you think these are all lies."

"You're right. I don't understand what love is just like you, but I've been trying to love you since I met you. I'm sorry that the way I used made you feel uneasy, but I want to make one thing clear: I like you, and this is definitely not a lie!"

Hoshino Ai looked at Saito Hiko in a daze; his answer surprised her a little.

I thought he was just playing around, but it seems not all is fake, there is some emotion, but not much.

Considering that I have only known Saito Hiko for less than a week, how can I get love so easily? …

Forget it, let it be. If I continue to dig deeper, I will get hurt again. …

Hoshino Ai pursed her lips and looked at Saito Yan slowly, "Who knows if you are lying again?"

Saitohiko stared at Hoshino Ai intently, took her hand and put it on his chest, "You can feel it."

Beat by beat... Hoshino Ai gradually felt her heart beating with the little hand pressed on her chest.

She quickly turned her eyes away and tried to pull her hand away, "You can let go now."

"No!" Saito Yan rejected Hoshino Ai's request, "Can you feel my feelings now?"

"Woo... I feel it, you can let go." Hoshino Ai had no choice but to follow Saito Hiko's words, worried that he would grab her and do something strange.

"You're uneasy because you can't feel it." Saito Yan took the opportunity to put forward an idea: "And emotions are not something that can be accumulated in one day. We have indeed just known each other for a short time, and we don't have much affection for each other. So in order to increase the affection between us, let's cultivate our feelings together this Saturday!"

"No... wu..." Just as Hoshino Ai was about to refuse, he felt his palm pressed hard on his chest, "Okay... okay... wu... you bully me..."

Phew, the crisis is finally over.

If Hoshino Ai kept pestering him about the issue of 'love', he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Fortunately, it was just a matter of liking, so she acquiesced and didn't pursue the matter any further.

If you like her, you must have liked her in your previous life.

Saito Hiko was thankful that he had gotten through it safely, and even made an agreement to meet on Saturday this week to plan everything out then.

After Hoshino Ai agreed, he let go of her little hand.

'Drip drip drip...'

At this moment, Saitohiko's cell phone rang.

He picked up the number and saw it was the president's number. He put the call to his ear and said, "Hello, president. What's going on?"

"Teacher, I have found one for you. Do you plan to start classes this week or next week?" the president asked straight to the point.

Saitohiko: "This week, what time does the class start?"

President: "Are you going to class today? It's still early, you can ask him to come over."
