My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

"What else can we do? Let's take care of the guests first, and then we'll go ask Sakuta about it."

After entertaining the guests for about 20 minutes, Kunimitsu finally came back from outside. He looked very disappointed.

"Kunimi, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing her boyfriend so lost, Kunimitsu's girlfriend quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Nothing, I just met an old classmate. Just have fun and eat. It's okay."

Although Guo Yi said that he was fine, judging from his expression, he didn't look like he was fine at all.

But since Guo Jian didn't want to say anything, they didn't ask any more questions and started to concentrate on eating the food on the table.

"There is indeed a problem."

"I've never seen a look like that on Sakuta's face before."

"You have to ask clearly."

After looking at each other, the two rushed into the kitchen and pressed Sakuta, who was still in a daze, against the wall.

"Teacher, please tell me, Sakuta-san, what is your relationship with that person outside?"

"Sakuta-san, you don't want Mai-san to know about this, right?"

"Hey! What are you two doing? Why did you suddenly turn into torture?!"

Sakuta really couldn't stand these two guys whose painting style suddenly changed. Don't they care about his feelings at all?

"Hey, we know your problems, you just keep things to yourself. Come on, as good brothers, let's be merciful and listen to what you have to say, okay?"

"Hehehe, but after all that, if you don't satisfy us, I'll at least give us two more cheeseburgers this time."

"You two are taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"

After a while of commotion, Sakuta realized that he could not escape from these two men by brute force, so he had no choice but to tell Naoto and Hachiman everything that happened.

Chapter 171: Men are friends no matter how long they have been together

"Tell me, what's going on? You and that guy outside, weren't you good friends before? Why do you seem like enemies now?"

Naoto and Hachiman stood in front of Sakuta, looking at him seriously. It seemed as if they were going to tell Mai-senpai about this if he didn't tell them.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the two men, Sakuta had no choice but to tell them what happened.

It turns out that before Sakuta transferred to this school, he already knew Kunimi, and by the way, he also knew Miss Futaba.

However, Hachiman's life was not as passionate and fun as it should have been, but instead full of ups and downs.

Without Senior Mai, Sakuta seemed to be surrounded by the goddess of misfortune, not giving Sakuta any time to breathe.

After Sakuta's sister got into trouble, Sakuta was first subjected to unprecedented cold violence and public pressure. In the entire school, Sakuta was like a monster and was not liked by anyone at all.

Fortunately, Futaba and Kunimi were still friends of Sakuta at that time.

But after the incident between Futaba and Kunimi, their relationship began to change.

At that time, Sakuta was far from being so open-minded. Sakuta, who had not yet been beaten by society, was still a passionate young man.

Sakuta saw clearly that Futaba had always liked Kunimi.

But due to Futaba's personality, she never confessed.

Originally, the matter would have just passed like this, but who could have thought that Kunimi would suddenly have a girlfriend?

Sakuta still can't forget how Futaba collapsed when Kunimi told him he had a girlfriend.

That was the first time he saw Futaba cry.

Sakuta, who was already in an extremely irritable mood because of his sister's matter, rushed over and questioned Kunimi directly.

Kunimi remained silent about why he did this.

"You know why you're doing this, right, Futaba Mingming..."

"It's my choice what to do, Sakuta, so don't ask."

"Then go explain to Futaba! Since you don't like her, why don't you explain!"

Despite Sakuta's repeated questioning, Kunimi never gave an answer. Finally, Sakuta, unable to bear it any longer, raised his fist.

After Sakuta took action again, no matter what the final situation was, he would no longer be able to stay in school.

And because of this incident, after he calmed down, he felt that he was too ashamed to face Futaba and Kunimi.

Afterwards, Sakuta wondered if things would have been different if he hadn't done it. But in the end, what was missed was missed.

After these things were over, Sakuta, who had grown a lot, transferred to a new school and met Naoto and others.

Gradually, Sakuta no longer thought about the past. His current life was also a life that Sakuta was satisfied with.

With a group of friends he can talk to and a gentle, virtuous and beautiful female star as a friend, what else could Sakuta not be satisfied with?

Moreover, his sister has been getting better during this period of time, and everything is moving in the right direction. But just when Sakuta thought he was about to forget about it, Kunimi suddenly broke into his life again. It was because of this that Sakuta lost his composure like this.

"In fact, after doing those things, I also felt very regretful, but now I have let it go. Some things are in the past and they are in the past."

"You don't look like you've let it go at all. If you feel sorry for him, why don't you go out and apologize? It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. If you apologize sincerely, you can quickly become good friends again."

"Yes, since we are friends, we can tolerate each other's mistakes, right?"

Sakuta did not respond to the two's persuasion. His silence showed that he needed a long time to think.

"Why don't we just go out and give Sakuta some time to think."

"Well, let's go out and talk."

After walking outside, Kunimitsu had almost finished eating at the table.

Although Kunimi was not in a very good mood, he still acted very happy in front of everyone, with no trace of his previous loss.

"Oh no, it looks like they're almost done eating, Naoto, what should we do?"

"What should we do? The best thing to do at this time is to do nothing and not get involved in the affairs of these two people. Sakuta, you know that this person is very opinionated. If he meddles in other people's affairs, it will easily destroy our relationship."

After hearing what Naoto said, Hachiman pondered for a while and felt that Naoto was right. It was really annoying to meddle in other people's affairs.

And in the kitchen, Sakuta was also thinking about what the two said.

When Kunimi broke into the kitchen before, he actually came to apologize.

Just like Sakuta thought that he was the one who destroyed the relationship among the three of them, Kunimi actually thought that he was wrong in this matter.

Because he cared too much about the relationship between the three, he did not respond to Futaba's feelings, which subsequently led to the breakdown of the relationship between the three.

But now, there is no point in asking who is right or wrong. The relationship between the three has long been shattered and it can no longer be resolved by a simple apology.

While apologizing to Sakuta, Kunimi also wants Sakuta to come back.

Because of Futaba, I also miss Sakuta.

After the conflict between Sakuta and Kunimi, Futaba also thought that these things were all her fault, and if it weren't for her, such things would never have happened.

But how could it be so easy to accept Kunimi’s invitation?

Putting aside other issues, Sakuta will never abandon his current friends.

Sakuta will never give up the others for the sake of one side.

"Sakuta, they are leaving soon. If you don't go now, you won't have another chance."

At this time, Naoto walked in from outside and said the last words to Sakuta.

And these words completely shattered Sakuta's inner defenses.

Having made up his mind, Sakuta rushed out.

"Hey! Kunimi! Wait for me!"

"Huh? Sakuta?"

Looking at Sakuta running towards him from behind, Kunimi was still a little dazed.

"Kunimi, we'll still be friends from now on, right?"

Faced with Sakuta's sudden question, Kunimi felt his eyes suddenly become moist for some reason.

"Of course, we will always be friends."

"Then remember this! I forgive you for what happened back then! We will be friends forever! Don't forget it!"

Facing Sakuta's roar, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

But neither of them cared.

After so long, the brotherhood finally began to be repaired.

Chapter 172: The friendship between young people is always pure

When Naoto returned home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing the work, Sakuta, who had finally untied his knot, took Naoto and Hachiman to the nearby izakaya for a good meal. It was a long-awaited big meal.

But seeing how happy Sakuta was, Naoto and Hachiman were also happy for this guy.

But because of this, Naoto almost missed the last train. The three of them kept eating and drinking until late at night, which was rare to see.

"Before, I never understood what kind of friendship I wanted to paint. Now, I should be able to paint the work I want."

At this time, Naoto was sitting in his seat, carefully observing the drawing paper on which he had already made a draft.

Seeing the friendship reunited between Sakuta and Kunimi today gave Naoto a different feeling inside.

When he parted with Boss Liu before, he felt more melancholy and reluctant to leave. But this time, Naoto felt the joy of meeting his friend again.

There has always been a saying in China that the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water. At the beginning, many people understood this saying to mean that the friendship between gentlemen is too pure and unreliable.

In fact, the meaning of this sentence should be that the friendship between friends is as clear as water, without any trace of impurities.

In the past, Zhiren didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but after doing various things in society during this period of time, Zhiren realized how precious the friendship in school days was.

Only pure friendship, without any other interests involved, is true friendship.

Even the ancients understood the preciousness of this pure friendship, otherwise there would not be:

There are famous lines like Wang Bo's "A bosom friend afar makes a distant land seem a little closer", Gao Shi's "Don't worry about having no bosom friends on the road ahead, for everyone in the world knows you" and Li Bai's "The water of Taohuatan is a thousand feet deep, yet it is not as deep as the love that Wang Lun gave me."

At this time, Naoto picked up his paintbrush and painted the picture in his mind on the drawing paper, stroke by stroke.

Naoto could never forget that starry night.

That night my friend Boss Liu parted ways with me to pursue his dreams.

Although they are deeply reluctant to part, they also wish each other well in pursuing their dreams in the future.

When the picture appeared on the drawing paper stroke by stroke, even Naoto himself did not expect that he would actually draw such a picture.

“It seems that I finally drew it.”

It was not until the early hours of the morning that Naoto finally finished his painting.

Unlike every one of Naoto's previous paintings, this time Naoto incorporated a painting method he had never used before.

He even incorporated some of the artistic conception of ink painting into it, and finally completed the painting.

"Naoto, it's time to wake up."

The next morning, Nan Zi came to Naoto's room as usual to wake him up.

But Nan Zi soon noticed that there seemed to be something different in the corner today.

"Isn't this the painting that Naoto has been drawing? Has Naoto finished it?"

Looking at the pictures in the painting, even Nan Zi could feel that unique charm.

This kind of charm is something that cannot be replicated by super powers. It seems as if the painter's spirit and energy can be felt in it.

"Hey, isn't it pretty good? I spent an entire night drawing it and finally finished it. I finally finished it before the deadline."

At this time, Naoto, who had already changed his clothes, stood beside Kusunoko and spoke to her proudly.

“Does it feel different from your usual paintings?”

"A little bit, but it's pretty much the same."
