She had to admit that at that moment, she hoped that Rikka Takanashi would not appear in front of Kaede Takahashi again and would not try to get something that she shouldn't have.

A strange possessive desire surged in her heart, causing her to begin to doubt her own legitimacy.

"Am I actually a vicious person?"

It's just like the queen in the fairy tale who was jealous of Snow White's beauty and gave her the poisoned apple.

"No!"

Goto Ichiri shook her head violently. The thing Takahashi Kaede had said to her most in his life was not to doubt herself.

Takahashi Feng had many comments about her, saying that she was well-behaved, cute, talented, and kind, but never vicious. His only criticism of Goto Ichiri was that she shouldn't be suspicious and shouldn't doubt herself.

Goto Ichiri realized that she might have fallen into her old habit again. Although this emotion was abnormal, she shouldn't think too badly about it.

Even so, she still felt a little bit of desire in her heart at this moment. She hoped that Gao Qiaofeng would be by her side at this moment, and she would lie in his arms, listening to his comfort, and then the two of them would do something that only boyfriends and girlfriends would do, just like in the anime...

Goto Ichiri blushed a little, not sure if it was because of this shameless fantasy or for some other reason.

She took her phone out of her pocket and switched to the chat screen with Takahashi Kaede.

The last day of the chat history was not far from now. It was last night when Gao Qiaofeng asked her if she had eaten well, and she replied that she had.

There was a very long message in the message column below, which was what Goto Ichiri originally wanted to send to Takahashi Kaede.

Although I have been practicing guitar for such a long time, and although I have overcome many problems independently, I am now able to stand on my own in learning guitar.

But just like young people working alone in a big city need to have cats and dogs to replenish their mood energy and fill the emptiness in their hearts, Goto Ichiri also wants to have a good talk with Takahashi Kaede.

Although we see each other every day, compared to before, it’s like we don’t see each other at all.

She already missed Takahashi Kaede a little.

[Xiao Feng, are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to my house. I have something to tell you.]

Goto Ichiri struggled for a while, but finally sent the message.

But she didn't know that Takahashi Feng had already accepted Rikka's invitation.

Chapter 21 Do You Want to Fall in Love?

What were you doing here just now? Why did you leave without even saying hello?

Looking at Rikka writing and drawing at her seat, Takahashi Feng felt a little nervous, and a sense of something being wrong arose in his heart.

Although he couldn't see the specific details of the figure just now, he could tell by his feeling that it was most likely Goto Ichiri.

The cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Takahashi Kaede opened it and found it was a message from Goto Ichiri.

Go to her house tonight? But I already have an appointment.

Before he could reply, Rikka poked him in the shoulder, signaling him to turn around.

"What's going on... Uwaaa! What is this thing? It looks scary."

Something like a telescope was suddenly pressed against his face, and a strange red light came out of the lens.

"This is the night vision goggles that Shihua bought for me. How about it? Isn't it cool~"

Rikka took off her night vision goggles and smiled at Takahashi Kaede.

But her smile gradually faded because Takahashi Feng's attention was not on her but on his mobile phone.

"Wait a minute, I have a message to reply." Takahashi Feng turned sideways towards the wall, with the phone facing inwards, as if he didn't want Rikka to see the contents inside.

There has been no news from Goto Ichiri recently, and Takahashi Kaede doesn't understand what's going on when she suddenly calls him to her house.

Is it important?

Takahashi Kaede glanced at Rikka inconspicuously and sent this message.

[Very important! ]

Almost instantly, there was a reply from Goto Ichiri. It seemed that Goto Ichiri was holding his phone tightly waiting for his reply.

[Okay, let’s gather at the usual place after school.]

Takahashi Feng sighed, put away his phone, and turned his attention back to Rikka.

When Rikka saw Takahashi Feng turning around, she excitedly handed him the night vision goggles. She wanted to see what Takahashi Feng would look like wearing them.

But Gao Qiaofeng's twitching eyes made her feel unwell, and the hand she had just stretched out stopped in mid-air.

"Feng, what's wrong? Did something bad happen to you?"

Rikka asked with concern. Jukka often showed this expression during the time when she was hiding the truth from her, a kind of helplessness that came from knowing that she couldn't bear it but feeling that there was no other way.

"Riku...Rikka, I'm sorry, I may not be able to do what I promised you just now. I have other important things to do."

Takahashi Feng spoke haltingly. He really didn't want to do such a thing as breach of contract. He would probably be very angry if he stood up Rikka when she had such high expectations of him.

Because of this, he didn't dare to say that he suddenly changed his mind because Goto Ichiri suddenly invited him. If he said this reason, it would be an insult to Rikka.

"You are not as good as Goto Ichiri in my heart, so I don't want to fulfill my promise to you."

There is a high probability that Rikka would understand it this way, and this is the fact.

"Is this matter... important?"

Rikka looked a little lost and asked cautiously.

The relationship between her and Takahashi Kaede was originally dominated by Takahashi Kaede. If Takahashi Kaede actively refused to play with her, she would have no right to resist.

It can be said that when it comes to making friends, Evil King True Eye is in an absolute disadvantaged position.

“…very important.”

Although Goto Ichiri did not say what the matter was, since she said it was important, Takahashi Kaede also assumed that it was important.

Rikka could clearly hear that Takahashi Kaede was not very confident when he said this, but what could she do?

"Well...can you come with me to find the 'Invisible Line' this weekend?"

Rikka asked, taking a step back.

"If we have time, we will definitely go together." Takahashi Feng didn't dare to agree this time and gave Rikka an ambiguous answer.

Rikka nodded, put away her night vision goggles and books, and left Takahashi Kaede's classroom alone.

Ben Teng Si outside the door was surprised to see Rikka leaving in a hurry: "What happened today? Why did you leave so soon?"

Rikka didn't answer, but just quickened her pace, hoping to get back to her seat as soon as possible and continue to immerse herself in her second-year fantasy.

"I must have done something wrong, Feng is unwilling to go with me to find the invisible boundary line."

"That's right, my setting must not be exciting enough. A dull story cannot attract people."

Rikka buried her head in the mythological picture book. The portrait of Loki obscured her eyes and cast a layer of fog over her mind.

Takahashi Feng was distressed at this time. Although he was curious about what the "important thing" Goto Ichiri was talking about was, his inner sense of morality also condemned him for casually breaking the contract, not carrying out his words properly, and disrespecting other people's behavior.

"But no matter how much I blame myself, it has become a reality that I subconsciously rejected Rikka for my own selfish reasons."

Biting his fingernails anxiously, Takahashi Kaede's thoughts began to wander.

"What on earth did I help Rikka with? Why have I been so close to her recently? Shouldn't I be most taboo about this kind of thing since I've already decided to confess to Ichiri when I grow up?"

Gao Qiaofeng asked himself three questions in a row. This was his usual way of eliminating anxiety. Even if it couldn't eliminate anxiety, it could help him sort out his thoughts.

"Rikka needs a friend to accompany her in her second year of high school. I am just a trash can for her to vent her desire to show off. I don't have any extraordinary thoughts about her. At best, we can only be considered friends."

He quickly answered his own questions and used his daily behavior to prove the truth of the words. After making sure that he was not deceiving himself, Takahashi Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Since I'm sorry to Rikka, I'll make it up to her this weekend. The most important thing now is to go to Goto Ichiri's house after school to see what her important matter is.

School was over soon, and at the corner of the school gate, Takahashi Kaede and Goto Ichiri met tacitly.

There seemed to be nothing unusual about the two of them, and they were chatting as usual.

He got on the subway, got off the subway, and walked to the door of Goto Ichiri's house. After Goto Ichiri went upstairs, Takahashi Kaede walked home by himself.

This was the usual practice, but this time it was Takahashi Kaede who followed Goto Ichiri into the house.

"Erli has to go to after-school care, and mom and dad are still at work, so there are only the two of us in the room."

Turning on the light in the living room, the dark room immediately became bright. Goto Ichiri explained to Takahashi Kaede why there was no one in the room, which made Takahashi Kaede feel itchy.

Shaking his head, Takahashi Feng forced himself not to think too much. Following the guidance of Goto Ichiri, he went upstairs and came to the mysterious closet again.

Various equipment filled this small space, and the two of them didn't even have much place to stand, so they could only huddle together with their legs crossed.

It seemed that Goto Ichiri bought other things after that batch of equipment. The surroundings were originally full of anime posters, but now they are half anime and half bands.

It seems that she is really immersed in music.

"I called you here this time mainly to show you this."

Goto Ichiri turned on the computer, the screen lit up, and blue light shone on the two people's faces.

I opened the browser, clicked on Twitter, and an account called 'Guitar Hero' appeared on the screen.

Scrolling down with the mouse, it seems that this blogger has posted several tweets, most of which are about how happy he is when he goes out, but there are no pictures.

"Ichiri, are you starting to manage your persona on the Internet now?" Takahashi Feng looked at Goto Ichiri's face with slight surprise. He didn't expect that she was thinking about these things so early. She was indeed an old netizen.

"Wait, no, it's this." Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Goto Ichiri felt a tingling sensation on his spine. He quickly snatched back the mouse and closed the Twitter page.

Continue to open YouTube, there is also an account with the name "Guitar Hero", and there are two videos on it. Judging from the cover, it should be a record of Goto Ichiri playing the guitar, but his face is not shown.

The background is the outside room, which looks ordinary.

The account does not have many followers, only a few dozen, and the majority of them are probably robots.

"How about it?"

Goto Ichiri asked.

She didn't understand whether creating such an account was a good thing or a bad thing. It was just that her desire to share was too strong. She created such an account because she hoped more people could see her guitar playing performance.

Takahashi Feng can be said to be professional to a certain extent, and she wants to hear Takahashi Feng's opinion.

"I think it's better to play more pop music. Also, when did your life become so rich?"

Although Takahashi Kaede really wanted to click on the YouTube video to watch it, he was more curious about the comments on Twitter.

[Today I went to the bar to drink with Mr. Yamashita again. Really, even though I said I didn’t want to go, they still dragged me to go. What a troublesome group of people~]

[Two hours of karaoke makes me feel more tired than playing football. Sigh, I still prefer the life of staying at home. 】

[There are so many handsome guys and beautiful girls at the social gathering:D]

"You actually became a popular person behind my back?!"

Gao Qiaofeng suddenly felt betrayed. It was agreed that everyone was an otaku, so how come you were the only one to take the lead and become a popular guy?

"Eh! No no no! I just posted these randomly. I'm not sensible. I just posted them for fun. Don't look at them! Don't look at them!"

When Kaede Takahashi was reading and complaining, Ichiri Goto suddenly realized that the content on Twitter seemed a little embarrassing, so he quickly hugged the computer screen to prevent Kaede Takahashi from seeing the content, but at this time Kaede Takahashi had already read it word for word.

"There are so many people who want to be my boyfriend. When will this trouble go away from me?"

After reading this message, Takahashi Kaede looked at Goto Ichiri who was hugging the computer screen in surprise.

"Ah, this is not me..."

Goto Ichiri couldn't explain why this was what he wanted to do after observing the bunch of popular people on the Internet and in class.

This is what happens when you surf the Internet too much. Every day, you see the glamorous side of others and feel inferior. Unconsciously, you compare your life with others and create a gap, which leads to an inexplicable desire.

Although you may not really want to do what others do, you still yearn for it.

The moment this shameful fantasy tweet was read out by Takahashi Kaede, Goto Ichiri melted into a slime stuck to the computer, resonating with the microwaves emitted by the computer, and began to tremble unconsciously. The mucus on his body splashed everywhere because of the violent vibration.

Xiao Feng, you won't really believe it, right? Xiao Feng, please don't believe it, this is just my humble fantasy. In front of this reality, I am not even a rice bug. At best, I am a pitiful earthworm. I feed on the humus in the soil every day. When it rains, I will be suffocated to death. After struggling to crawl out of the mud, I will collapse on the ground and gasp for breath. In the end, I will be mercilessly trampled into mud by passers-by. I am such a pathetic existence!

Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes, I can't stand it! Woo, I want to go back to my mother's belly!

Goto Ichiri's brain was thinking frantically as if it had been electrocuted, but the direction of his thinking was not very optimistic, as if he was thinking in the direction of regressing to his ancestors.

"You...want to fall in love?"

Takahashi Feng felt his lips were extremely dry, but as if they were covered with glue. After opening them with difficulty and saying this sentence, he looked at Goto Ichiri unconfidently.

“After all, that’s what you tweet…”

Even if we can guess that it was Goto Ichiri who posted it randomly, there must be some truth in it, just like he posts on Twitter every day as Mr. Hashi. Although he shows the life of a middle-aged man, the real scenes are all derived from reality, and some of his insights are also related to what he has experienced recently.
