Don't you guys dislike me?

The atmosphere returned to the lively atmosphere when Hu Bu Xiang was not around. Several people gathered together and talked about awkward and trivial matters. Suddenly, one person laughed, and the others pretended to laugh. Who laughed from the heart? It was just that laughter was contagious...

After laughing, there is endless emptiness again. They keep looking for funny points. Sometimes a person's appearance, the way he speaks, or even his nervous expression when speaking in class will be used as capital for conversation and laughter, which is somewhat like drinking poison to quench thirst.

The atmosphere didn't seem much different from usual, but Miura Yumiko didn't quite want to smile in response. Now most of the topics about boys and girls were handled by Hayama Hayato, but he also had times when he was exhausted.

The girl played with her nails, ignoring their hypocritical and impetuous laughter. She fiddled with her beautiful blonde hair again. Although she could not find any flaws, she could not help but look at herself in the mirror a few more times.

The light pink manicure outlines the most natural beauty, and the scent of perfume is no longer strong but becomes fresh and tranquil.

As Horie Tomoya called out "Stupid Yu", the girl's heart twitched, and then she turned her head back cautiously, the corner of her eye jumping slightly, just like the girl's unpredictable mind.

From the window to the corridor, from the floor to the wall, from the two girls chatting and laughing in another place to the clown hiding in the dark corner, if these three straight lines intersect, there is only one intersection point - that is Yuichi's position.

Yumiko Miura's initiative in social situations is somewhat limited, and her determination to make things clear with Yuichi before class was completely wiped out the moment he appeared.

I'd better wait until noon to tell Hoshino... She cursed herself for being cowardly, but was afraid of being blamed by Yuichi... Countless thoughts intertwined in her head, binding her feet tightly to the chair, making her unable to move.

When Tobe Xiang came back, the class had already started, so he had to carry the full cup of drinks back to his seat. He bought those extra drinks to use to build closer relationships with his strangers.

Impatiently waiting, Tobe Sho limped towards the gathered "friends" with his drink in his arms. As he approached and was about to speak, he heard:

"I'm so thirsty, shall we go buy some water together?"

"I'm suddenly thirsty too, let's go."

"Ah."

They ignored Tobe Sho who was holding a cup full of drinks, and walked away laughing, getting farther and farther away from Tobe Sho. The drink in his arms was icy cold, and he looked around at the class who were laughing and talking, feeling out of place.

Once upon a time, he was still one of them, a part of them, sharing the joy with them, and his performances were paid for by people...

He overestimated the friendship between Miura Yumiko and himself, and underestimated the relationship between Miura Yumiko and Yuichi. Obviously, he and Miura Yumiko should have spent more time together...

Tobe Xiang held the extra drinks and gave them out for free to small groups, but after walking for most of the class, the weight in his arms did not decrease at all.

Everyone rejected him with embarrassed looks, and then cast glances of disgust at him after he left. It seemed that his behavior yesterday had spread throughout the class, and no one wanted to be friends with him anymore.

"Yuichi, you don't have to do anything to stop him. No one wants to talk to him anymore. Even Yeshan refuses to take him in. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Tomoya Horie watched the comedy in his eyes with great interest, and the clown's sad exit made the corners of his mouth smile slightly.

"Why didn't I realize you were a fun person before?"

"I didn't look at him with the disgust that other people did. What's wrong with me just watching for fun?"

Horie Tomoya spoke openly and seemed to have a clear conscience.

"Isn't your gloating look even more frightening?"

Yuichi complained lightly.

"Are you afraid?"

Tomoya's smile did not fade.

"I don't care. Just don't jerk me off if I end up in that situation."

Youyi looked at the sparrow landing on the branch and chirping carefreely, and a hint of envy appeared in his purple eyes.

"How could that be? I'm your best friend! Who do you think I am?" Horie Tomoya scolded and laughed as he patted Yuichi's shoulder.

…………

Time flies, the clock on the wall ticks rapidly, and Yumiko Miura's heart beats faster and faster along with the beat of the clock hands.

The girl was a little restless. She didn't listen to a word of the math teacher's diligent teaching. It was almost time to go home. After lunch, she had to explain the situation to Yuichi...

Time seemed too short. Even one morning was not enough for her to be mentally prepared, even though she had made up her mind last night.

The melodious bell rang, and Yumiko Miura looked towards the corridor outside the classroom. The delicate schoolmate arrived as promised, but it was precisely this arrival as promised that made her feel envious and unwilling.

Why would her hidden treasure be stolen by this woman? When she thought about how she had brought people to bully her in the afternoon, and how she had to nervously admit her mistake to Youyi...she inexplicably felt inferior to him in his heart. The little bit of grievance turned into raindrops that slightly extinguished her anger, and her mood unconsciously became more complicated.

Her mind was a little confused, and she didn't want to think much. Her beautiful green eyes were filled with grievances, and she pouted her face and sued Youyi~

Hoshino Yuichi stood up, and Miura Yumiko heard it clearly. She was not wrong. She hoped in her heart that Yuichi could say hello to her and say hello... even though there had never been a precedent before.

The result, of course, was that Yuichi walked past her nonchalantly without even stopping, but the girl still felt a little lost.

…………

"Didn't I tell you to wait in the classroom? Why are you here in the second year of high school?"

Yuichi and Katsura Kotonoha looked at each other, the deep purple gemstones containing a strong desire to speak.

"Did Yuu-chan do something behind my back?!"

It was incredible that those timid eyes could become strong so rarely.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because my classmates looked at me with a bit of fear..."

"Fear…?"

Yuuichi paused. Why was he scared when he saw Kotonoha? How did Tobe Sho's story spread to the first year of high school so quickly? But this was just a matter within the class. This shouldn't be the case...

71. Build momentum and establish authority

Walking down the stairs, when passing by Class A of Grade One, Youyi looked into the classroom. The strange thing was that as his eyes swept over, the students who were originally laughing lowered their heads timidly, and the smiles on their faces faded as if they were afraid of him.

After scanning several small groups, Youyi's gaze finally fell on the face of a tall boy. He seemed to have dyed his hair blonde like Hayato Hayama, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun, but with a bit more aggressiveness.

If Hayato Hayama is a benevolent monarch who works hard to coordinate the emotions of everyone in the Xianzhong Group, then this person is a tyrant with a smiling face but a dagger hidden inside, who uses certain means to win over the people under the surface harmony, which is a bit abnormal.

Yuichi remembered that this person seemed to have appeared in the football club yesterday, but because his personality was the same as Hayato Hayama's, he didn't notice him at the time. However, now that he is singled out, he is quite conspicuous.

He did not stop smiling because of Yuichi's gaze and continued talking to himself. This should have been a normal behavior, but it was particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of the silence of his companions around him.

It is not comfortable to sing a solo, especially when there is a faint gaze that makes him feel uneasy. As an admirer of Hayato Hayama, he joined the football club just to observe or learn his idol's style of doing things from a close distance.

Unexpectedly, yesterday he saw Hoshino Yuichi grabbing Hayama-senpai's friend Tobe Sho and taking them to a dark alley for a talk. Hayama-senpai had to stand by and watch because he was stopped by Hoshino-senpai's friends... At that moment, the great image of Hayama-senpai that he had established in his mind began to waver.

"You guys go first, I have something to do."

After saying this, Youyi walked straight towards the low-profile version of Yeshan. Everyone who stood in front of Youyi lowered their heads and ran away, fearing that they would be involved.

He specifically asked Gui Yanye to sit in the classroom just to let everyone in the class know that she was not easy to bully and that there would be prices to pay for wanton bullying. But now it seems... perhaps thanks to someone, the effect is much better than he imagined.

It would be a lie to say that Takagi Daisan, who is also a low-profile version of Hayama, was not panicked when facing Yuichi's approach. In his first year of high school, he was the main spreader of the rumor that Yuichi beat Tobe Sho, and he was also a witness to the incident.

The bad boy who usually chatters and is as active as a monkey was being carried around by Yuichi like a chicken. The contrast deeply shocked Gaocheng Daishan's heart.

In his eyes, Tobe Sho was definitely a general of Hayato Hayama. The general was captured and beaten in front of the commander-in-chief, but the commander could only watch as the statue of Hayato Hayama that he had carved in his mind began to crumble.

"You were there yesterday, right? You were also the one who spread those rumors about the freshman year?"

The strong eyes that seemed strong on the outside but weak on the inside gradually collapsed under Yuichi's gaze, and his pupils trembled as if he was a cowardly deserter who had just stood there.

“Yes… yes, so what?!”

The Xianchong Group had already fled the scene quietly, and Gao Cheng Dashan, the leader, was tacitly betrayed by his friends.

Will he be killed? Yesterday, Senior Hubu's face was fine, and the school doctor found nothing serious, but Senior Hubu was in so much pain... This guy is so insidious when he beats people, he is completely different from those outside!

Should I fight back? But I feel like I can’t win… What should I do? What should I do! Why did I use Senior Tobe’s jokes as a topic of conversation? I am such a hopeless idiot!

Intense thoughts raced through his mind, and his body became tense and stiff with fear.

Suddenly, a pair of hands patted his shoulders, and Gao Cheng Dashan knelt down as if all the strength was sucked out of his body.

"It's all thanks to you..."

Youyi was halfway through his words when he was a little surprised that Gaocheng Daishan was kneeling in front of him in vain. So cowardly? Wasn't he quite tough just now?

"Well...keep up the good work next time, and remember not to bully Kotonoha Katsura."

Since we want to create momentum, we might as well make it bigger. It wouldn't be too much to start with the top students in Class A of Grade One.

Gao Cheng Da Shan woke up from his trance and suddenly found that he was shorter than others. The dull pain in his knees seemed to be scolding his weakness. I knelt down?

Moreover, he knelt down out of fear. His dignity and personality were shattered the moment he knelt down. No... No! I can't just kneel like this! I have to stand up!

He was panicked and hurriedly wanted to get up, trying to pick up the last bit of face that was left... But when he tried to force it, the pair of light hands on his shoulders exerted force in vain, like an iron clamp or a mountain.

The deep purple eyes slowly looked down, and the threat revealed crushed all his thoughts of resistance. He was not strong, nor powerful. He was just a verbal bragging and bravado. At best, he was just a paper tiger with a strong appearance but a weak heart...

Youyi withdrew his gaze, paused and continued the previous topic.

"Especially you girls..."

The gorgeous purple eyes swept across several people and fixed on a few girls. Youichi remembered that they were just chatting with Takagi Daisan, and they must be important figures in the class. This also means that the source of Katsura Kotonoha being isolated and bullied came from them.

They looked at Gao Cheng Dashan who was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to resist. They nodded obediently. Only at this time did they restrain their unruly temper.

The situation went more smoothly than expected. It must be said that Gao Cheng Dashan's kneeling greatly increased his deterrent power.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering outside the classroom, if he continued like this, it might be the dean's turn to teach him a lesson, although he didn't care much.

"Remember to keep up the good work, junior."

The teasing purple eyes looked down from above, like a strange moon covering the tall city and mountains, which made people feel creepy.

The two people who did not leave the classroom showed completely different expressions, Horie Tomoya was gloating, and Katsura Kotonoha was worried.

"Yu-chan..."

The girl noticed the change in the gazes of the people around her, and even though Yuichi had been hiding the truth, she now roughly understood it in her mind.

"I'm sorry, even though you told me not to worry..."

"Humph! It's no use even if I say it!"

Gui Yanye said angrily, holding the lunch box which was still a little warm in her arms and walked towards Youyi. Her lightly lifted hair and her cherry lips outlined a shallow arc.

"Fukifu... Stupid You, I never knew you, who are usually so reserved, actually have the potential to become a king. Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected that your performance just now would be favored by many girls. Maybe they will privately give you a title like the Aloof Emperor."

Tomoya Horie stroked his chin which was covered with three layers of fat and said some middle school words meaningfully.

"Stop talking. I'm embarrassed for you. You're not in junior high school anymore. Stay steady and fat. You're already a sophomore in high school."

"Don't you think I'm very stable?"

Horie Tomoya patted his firm belly and shouted in a majestic manner.

"…It is indeed stable and heavy."

"Right, right."

…………

After leaving the teaching building, they were faced with the scorching temperature and dazzling sunlight, and the three of them walked towards the woods against the crowd.

The cafeteria was crowded with people, and every corner was filled with noisy voices and endless streams of people. This was another way of expressing youth, but unfortunately Yumiko Miura didn't want to enjoy it too much.

Today's lunch was bland and tasteless. She felt slightly full after just a few bites. She kept looking towards the library, her face looking melancholy and bored.

Hoshino...are you having dinner with that girl now?

The fingers that held the chopsticks turned white as they stirred the sumptuous meal into a mess.

72. Sudden separation

The scorching sun in the sky was as hot as ever, but the little leather shoes on the ground were slowly moving forward, and beads of sweat appeared on Miura Yumiko's pretty face.

She knew she couldn't delay any longer... otherwise her makeup would be soaked by sweat.

Walking towards the library as usual, the girl saw Hoshino Yuichi already waiting at the door. She was not surprised, but wanted to leave contrary to her usual behavior.

"Miura, you're later than usual today."

Didn't Hoshino's voice become a lot colder? Her sensitive mind would magnify and speculate on any slight movement.

"It's because you're always late. It's so hot, and I don't want to bask in the sun every day, right?!"
