People in Shijiao, the man behind Ichinose

"This should be the little man Chie always talks about, right? I'm... Sae?! You're here too?"

Chabashira Sae, who had been avoiding the other person's gaze, nodded awkwardly: "Aoi, long time no see."

"It's been a long time since we last met. Come on, come on, let's go in and talk. I'll go make tea for you. Xiao Mio, come out and greet the guests."

As she spoke, the woman named Aoi walked towards the kitchen in a hurry with a pace that was totally inconsistent with her temperament.

Hoshinomiya Chie took this opportunity to whisper in Yuan Yuyuan's ear: "Yuyuan, don't be fooled by Aoi's appearance. Always remember that she is the one who can compete with Saeda for men!"

"Yes, I will pay attention."

Yuan Yuyuan nodded, but his mind was not on this at all. It was really Aoi's proud... No, no, it was the long blue hair and the name when she greeted the waiter that gave him a stronger shock.

Now that I think about it, the person she just called was probably "Xiao Mio" or something like that...right?

"Chihui, what's your Aoi's last name?"

"Her last name... I won't tell you! Speaking of her sister..."

"Excuse me--why is it you?"

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Yuan Yuyuan quickly raised his head. As expected, Murphy's Law will never let anyone in this world go.

The person standing in front of Yuan Yuyuan at this moment was his fortune-telling partner - Miss Ibuki Mio.

Hoshinomiya Chie, who was standing by, waved enthusiastically as if she had seen an old friend: "Mio-chan, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Thanks to you..."

Ibuki Mio has never been able to adapt to the outgoing nature of her sister's good friend, especially when the other party is the teacher of the rival class. Ibuki Mio, who is not good at socializing, is often teased when facing Hoshinomiya Chie but she can do nothing about it.

"Wow, Jeanne is eating mud! Haha~" Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Yuan Yuyuan changed the subject and said, "Um... Is this Mio-chan's family business?"

"This place originally belonged to my mother, but..." Ibuki Mio's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Feel sorry……"

"But she went back to her hometown after her sister offered to take over the store."

"Don't gasp so hard next time!"

"I haven't said anything yet." Ibuki Mio was very happy to have won back a game, with a rare cheerful look on her face. "Excuse me, what would you like to eat?"

Yuan Yuyuan nodded, seeming very satisfied with her attitude.

"I want grilled eel and wasabi octopus, a cup of raw rice and a plate of edamame. That's about it. A light breakfast is best."

"It's not light at all. This is not an izakaya! And you're still underage!"

"It was Mio who asked me what I wanted to eat..."

Ibuki Mio took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was about to overflow from her body: "Please order something on the menu, and don't call me Mio-chan."

"Mio Mio is so cold, as if you have never loved me."

"I really never loved you!"

Ibuki Mio simply gave up on the troublemaker Gen Yuyuan and turned to look at the female teachers who were sitting together to avoid suspicion.

"Star..."

"stare--"

Hoshinomiya Chie, who seemed very lively and cheerful to Ibuki Mio, suddenly gave her a look that seemed to want to kill her. Ibuki Mio knew what she wanted to say and changed the subject: "Chie... Sister, what would Chabashira-sensei want to eat?"

Hoshinomiya Chie nodded with satisfaction, and then strictly followed the menu and ordered... food that was not on the menu: "I want ochazuke and fried chicken, oh, and a few skewers of yakitori, any part will do."

"..."

"Just say it's not an izakaya..."

Ibuki Mio completely lost confidence in life. She just got up early to exercise for a while, and was forced to do hard labor, but she even encountered two unreasonable customers.

"Oh yeah! Sorry."

Hoshinomiya Chie stuck out her tongue playfully and lowered her head to continue studying the menu.

Ibuki Mio just thought that she was playing a prank on her as usual, or at most had just learned some of Genyuki's tricks. But Genyuki and Chabashira Sae were well aware that their interaction just now had made someone jealous.

Chabashi Sae was becoming more and more confused about her friend. There were obviously so many things about Genyuen that made her jealous, but Hoshinomiya Chie just waved her hands and said something she couldn't understand, such as - "It's inevitable for adolescent boys to be like this. It's okay with me." and so on.

But now she was actually jealous! And she was jealous of a girl who was… only slightly threatening!

What happened to them last night?

Can this world get any better? !

These two questions lingered in Chabashira Sae's mind...

It wasn't until Hoshinomiya Chie leaned close to her ear that Chabashi Sae finally came to her senses.

"Sae, what are you daydreaming about? We've already decided what to eat."

"Sorry, I was distracted earlier. I'm going to do the same as Chie."

Ibuki Mio nodded, turned and walked into the kitchen, leaving behind the three people who suddenly couldn't get along normally for various reasons.

"Ahem..." As the culprit, Yuan Yuyuan decided to start the conversation first, "By the way, it seems that Aoi has no ill feelings towards Sa... Chabare-sensei, why?"

"Because that man is disgusting." Hoshinomiya Chie and Chabashi Sae said in unison.

"Huh? What's going on here? Does it mean it's so disgusting that you two should make peace with each other?" Yuan Yuyuan said in confusion.

Seeing that Chabashi Sae didn't want to talk about it anymore, Hoshinomiya Chie took the initiative to take over the conversation: "That's about it. How should I put it? Actually, that person is usually - just like Shibata from our class. He is very sunny and seems very upright. His academic performance is also very good, until that special exam..."

"Chie, stop talking. I feel a little nauseous." Having said that, Chabashi Sae stood up and walked to the door to get some fresh air.

Hoshinomiya Chie seized the opportunity and grabbed Yuan Yuyuan's hand and said quickly: "Remember the vote I mentioned? Because Saeda didn't want to send her classmates away, she was the only one who voted against it. Then that man, who was Saeda's lover, as the leader of our class, voted for himself."

"Not bad, it makes others realize their importance, and it can also help them reach a consensus at this critical moment. Then what?"

"Of course it failed. He easily set up a memorial for her. Plus, I had a feud with Saeda at the time, so I exposed her."

Hoshinomiya Chie was a little depressed when she said this, as if she was regretting the decision she made at the time: "At that time, that person had just confirmed his relationship with Saeda, but he actually suggested kicking Saeda out. This way, he could not only overcome the difficulties smoothly, but also show his side of putting the interests of the public above his own. Even the classmate that Saeda wanted to protect voted in favor. Only Aoi and I were so angry that we voted against it. In the end, our class didn't come to a conclusion until the countdown ended, and therefore lost the qualification to compete for Class A."

"Oh." Yuan Yuyuan showed no interest in these old stories. This response was even made because of Hoshinomiya Chie's high interest.

"Oh, what? If you go out and comfort her now, don't you have a chance to..."

Yuan Yuyuan interrupted her unhappily: "How can it be that simple? You have known her for such a long time, have you ever seen her have amorous feelings other than this time?"

"I know, but..." Xingzhigong Zhihui leaned close to Yuan Yuyuan's ear and whispered seductively: "Don't you want to know what it feels like for us to serve you together?"

?

"That's what you said!"

As if he was afraid that Hoshinomiya Chie would go back on her word, Gen Yuyuan stood up in a Pan Zhoudan-like manner and confidently embarked on a journey to find Chabashira Sae.

At the same time, Ibuki Aoi also came out from the kitchen.

"Tea is here. Eh? Where are Sae and your little man..." Ibuki Aoi's brain suddenly went into a state of panic. "No way, Chie? How can you let this happen?!"

"What are you thinking about? It's just that Saeda was upset when that person was mentioned just now, so I thought of asking Yu Yuan to comfort him——"

As Hoshinomiya Chie was talking, she noticed something was wrong.

I always feel like it's getting darker and darker...

Just as she thought, the expression on Ibuki Aoi's face became more and more horrified: "So Chie is actually a cuckold...slave?"

"No! I'm just dragging someone into this, that's all! To prevent her from exposing me someday when she loses her mind."

"That's not right. With Chie's personality, she would definitely want to make Saeda afraid to tell anyone, and she would definitely not resort to the method of self-sacrifice."

"Hate it, you know me so well, Aoi... you pervert!"

"What did you say?!"

Different from the lively atmosphere in the store, Chabashira Saeda's cold face outside the store casts a buff called low pressure on the surroundings.

"What's up?"

"It should be said that there is, but it seems not." Yuan Yuyuan said ambiguously.

No wonder Zhihui voted for her but hated her so much at the same time. I guess it’s hard for anyone to like her, right?

"What? Is this how you comfort others?"

"You don't need my comfort."

"Of course." Chabashi Sae forced herself to raise her head. She didn't want others to see her vulnerable side at any time.

"Would it be better if it was Chie? It might be easier to talk to people of the same sex."

"It's all the same. You might be better off not making fun of me."

"My pleasure."

Just when Chabashi Sae thought that Genhazuchi was going to give up, Genhazuchi spoke again.

"What are the characteristics of the person that Saeda likes?"

"Characteristics..." Chabashi Sae was embarrassed for a moment. This kind of thing did not exist in her memory at all.

"what?"

Yuan Yuyuan was shocked: "That's too careless! Isn't that your sweetheart from high school?"

"When did I say that? It's the hormones of puberty that are causing all this trouble! There's nothing between me and that kind of person."

"You are depraved!"

"It's not like that, listen to me...what? I'm not your girlfriend, why should you feel guilty?" Chabashi Sae reacted belatedly.

"That's because of your subconscious mind! Saeda actually pretends to be my girlfriend, how annoying~"

ps: I checked, someone was fighting at my post in the middle of the night, and I was also taken to take a statement. After I came back, the leader kept asking me questions, which made my brain explode.

First Year, Second Semester: Chapter 269 Chapter The first-year student who was deceived by Chihui in high school

"But in my opinion, there is no difference between you and that person. You just made different choices at the same time."

Gen Yuyuan changed the subject and looked at Chabashi Sae with a sneer in his eyes.

"Don't compare him to me! I'm not as mean as him!"

I don't know which keyword triggered Chabashira Sae, and he rarely lost his composure.

She felt sick to her stomach just thinking about being compared with that kind of scum!

Yuan Yuyuan did not intend to let her go, and sneered sarcastically: "That's true, you are really incomparable to him. At least he is working hard on the path he has chosen, and what have you done? Pray for them to pity you?"

"I……"

Chabashi Sae wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Although she was not as bad as Gen Yuyuan said at that time, her performance was really not good.

"Why do you want others to give up their own interests to help you? What I didn't expect was that you are still immersed in guilt until now. Don't you think of such a thing?"

Gen Yuyuan pressed on step by step, but Chabashi Sae didn't even have the courage to refute. She was no longer a 16 or 17 year old kid, but she couldn't even see such a basic thing.

Maybe she had already seen it, but she just couldn't accept the incompetent self she was back then...

"I couldn't help it at the time. I'm sorry."

"Don't get it wrong, it's not me you're sorry for."

Genyuen turned Chabashira Sae forcefully, pointed at the two people in the store that she felt really sorry for and said, "Look at them. Even if you say Chie was so bad in the past, what about Aoi? I don't know how many years you haven't seen each other, but the joy she showed when you met just now couldn't be faked."

"sunflower……"

In a trance, Chabashira Sae seemed to see again the girl from more than ten years ago who would rather endure the criticism from the class than show kindness to him.

She and Ibuki Aoi were actually very compatible friends at the beginning, but in the end they turned against each other because of that scum.

After seeing the person's true face, Ibuki Aoi took the initiative to reconcile with her.

But at that time, Chabashi Sae was deeply trapped in self-blame all day long, so even though she was always grateful to Ibuki Aoi, who was once her best friend and rival, she did not accept her kindness, for fear that she would cause her to be isolated by other classmates because of her relationship.

Chabashira Sae felt like crying, and as soon as this thought came into her mind, her tears began to fall.

She often wondered what her life would be like if she had chosen to drop out of school more than a decade ago. After graduating from Class A—
