Don't you guys dislike me?

The sun was setting, and golden light was scattered on the playground. The running figures were faintly glowing, and fewer and fewer students were leaving from the school gate.

Gui Yanye leaned against the school gate, her eyes meticulously moving over every person walking out of the campus, but she still couldn't wait for Yuichi to arrive.

Depression is accumulating and frustration is continuing.

97. Missed

Katsura hesitated for a moment, picked up her phone, and her uneasy and worried face was reflected on the screen. Did You-chan leave? Or should she send a message to You-chan first, as Horie said?

Her slender fingers tapped on the screen, like a wooden oar that ferried a small boat across the vast ocean. She had a lot to say to Youyi, and before she knew it, the thoughts in her mind were presented in the dialog box with the constant tapping sounds. The densely packed words contained the girl's apology and desire to redeem herself.

But in the end, she deleted it word by word. She always felt that online communication was a bit alienated and insincere, and face-to-face communication could exchange true feelings. It might also be because she rarely used electronic products and rarely went online...

With this in mind, Katsura Kotonoha sent a message to Yuichi, saying that she wanted to meet him at the school gate. The expectation that had been mostly dissipated was finally aroused. The girl held the phone to her chest, and the bonfire that was about to go out continued to burn in an orderly manner with sparks. She believed that Yuichi would definitely respond to her wish and would definitely come to find her... At the very least, Yuichi would give her an answer.

The tree trunk outside the school gate blocked the last rays of the evening light. A cool breeze blew, causing the girl's pleated skirt to rise up. Night had fallen...

Although midsummer is approaching, the night came much faster today than usual. Gui Yanye covered the hem of her skirt, and the whiteness between her over-the-knee socks and her short skirt looked particularly delicate, but no one appreciated it.

The silver moon was hanging high in the sky, making the girl standing alone outside the door look even more lonely and helpless.

The light of the mobile phone screen frequently lit up, illuminating Gui Yanye's somewhat pale face. There was no response to the message, and the hope and expectation also sank into the sea along with the message, sinking to the bottom of the sea...

Gui Yanye sighed softly, raised her head and looked at the cold moonlight in the sky, opened her mouth, and felt her lips were a little dry:

"Yuu-chan...what are you doing?"

When you are expecting something, time will always be magnified and prolonged. Your heart, desperate for a response, will keenly grasp any clues and waste your energy meaninglessly. When you finally come to your senses, you will find that only a short period of time has passed.

Perhaps the lonely girl under the moonlight was favored by the gods. The phone that held Gui Yanye's hopes vibrated at this moment, and the movement of a puppet seemed to be wound up and powered. She hurriedly opened her phone and saw Yuichi's reply.

——Sorry, Kotonoha, I have already made an appointment with my friends today, let’s find a place to meet tomorrow to talk in detail (laughs)

--Uh-huh!

The girl held the phone in her hands and smiled with relief. Although she didn't get the most ideal answer, she could feel from Yuichi's reply that Yuichi was not angry with her. He had always tolerated her willfulness, and this time too...

Yuichi-chan is really something! She's still hanging out with others so late at night. She must have been dragged by Horie to go shopping again. After getting the answer, the girl, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but find out who the friend Yuichi mentioned in the message was?

Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, or perhaps it was because Kaede Yanye didn't want to bring out those guesses hidden deep in her heart that she was not willing to accept, so most of her thoughts were embellished in a beautiful way.

Gui Yanye calmed down and put her cell phone into her schoolbag. It was already very late and she seldom came home so late. Her mother must be worried about her, right?

The girl just took a step forward, and her deep purple eyes froze. Hoshino Yuichi walked past her. Katsura Kotonoha opened her mouth in surprise and was about to speak, but she found a figure with fluttering golden hair beside Yuichi. Katsura Kotonoha knew her. She was the senior who brought people to bully her last time. It seemed that Yuichi and she had a good relationship.

"Eh?! Why is it so late already? You should come out at about the same time as before."

"It's all because you forced me to memorize words."

"What can we do? It's because Youichi has never touched English since he went back! The midterm exam is coming soon, you'd better show a little more enthusiasm!" The blonde senior said with a look of disappointment. The tenderness and helplessness between her brows were completely different from the impression that Kaede Yanye had.

"Yes yes~"

"According to the agreement, you can't leave now."

"Go to the shopping street?"

"It seems that you are not yet at the point where you are beyond help."

They were talking and laughing, the atmosphere was harmonious and happy, shining with dazzling light. Gui Yanye, hiding in the shadows, couldn't look directly at them. The darkness, black hair, and tree shadows formed a natural protective color that surrounded the girl. If she took one more step forward, she would attract Yuichi's attention. If she made a little noise, she would destroy their overly beautiful atmosphere...

But Katsura Kotonoha didn't. Yuichi, who was wandering in the moonlight, was so far away from herself in the dark that she didn't have the courage to take a step forward. Besides, Yuichi seemed very happy... I'd better not disturb them...

The familiar inner monologue made Gui Yanye feel dazed. It turned out that the senior who bullied her that day was the person that Yuichi helped with his study...

Katsura Yanye pinched the hem of her skirt, emotions that she could not understand flooding her heart.

Yuichi had already stood by me in that matter, had gone against his classmates for me, had been good enough to me, and had fulfilled his obligations as a friend...

But even so... why did she feel so bad? Why did she not want to see Yuichi walking with other girls? Even on weekends! Even in the morning! Even now...

Yuu-chan has already replied clearly on LINE... I really want to talk to Yuuichi, and I hate seeing other girls around Yuuichi... This unreasonable thought devoured her pupils in an instant, and disappeared in the next moment. Gui Yanye woke up from her dream. She didn't understand this unprecedented feeling. She was a little scared and still in shock.

Hoshino Yuichi did not expect that Katsura Kotonoha would still be standing outside the school gate waiting for him half an hour after sending the text message. The rustling footsteps sounded beside his ears, and the clacking sound of small leather shoes surrounded him in the moonlight. The delicate figure fleeing in panic in the dark night among the tree shadows made Yuichi squint his eyes.

Yuichi picked up the phone in vain, and a certain premonition arose in his heart - Kotonoha would not wait for him until now? Did she want to apologize to him for what happened at noon?

He didn't have time to think about it, so he said, "Youyouko, wait for me here." and ran away. The boy followed the figure in the night and disappeared into the darkness.

Miura Yumiko was left standing there with a confused look on her face. She was a little annoyed: "Hey?! What's the hurry?!"

Yuese's voice could not reach the shadows, and Yuichi's thoughts were all transferred to Katsura Kotonoha.

The petite figure in front seemed to be running faster and faster because of Yuichi's pursuit. She was not good at sports and disappeared at the next corner.

98.What’s wrong with me?

The forked crossroads appeared at this moment very inappropriately, as if to fool him who was trying hard to pursue it. The lingering fragrance lingered in the air, the sweetness lingered but gradually faded away.

Yuichi knew that this was the smell of Katsura Kotonoha. He was very familiar with it because the fragrance of the girl was dancing under his nose. Which corner of the crossroads should Kotonoha be hiding at now? Why did she run away? Aren't both her and Yumiko his friends...

The phone in his hand vibrated, and Yuichi opened it quickly. It was a message from Horie Tomoya.

——I forgot to tell you that after school this afternoon, Gui Yanye came to our class to look for you. I told her to send you a LINE notification first, but I felt that she would rather wait for you foolishly at the school gate.

Le Ziren sent the answer to the doubt at the right time, presenting the cause and effect of the matter to Yuichi, forcing him to face the feelings that were beginning to ferment for Katsura Kotonoha.

Horie Tomoya probably guessed Yuichi's emotional inclination and placed an assist on the person he favored.

The road was too quiet, with nothing but the rustling of tree shadows swaying in the moonlight. Was Kotonoha waiting for him to come? Or was she afraid that Yuichi would continue to chase her, so she didn't dare to move?

It was just a meeting, but in Kaede Yanye's mind, it was unravelled into many possibilities and explanations.

The black hair on his forehead was a bit of an eyesore at this moment, and Youyi lifted it up with a little annoyance. The deeper darkness filled his eyes, so he decided to go find Kotonoha with Kasumigaoka Utaha's answer.

The footsteps faded away, and Gui Yanye leaned against the wall with her schoolbag in her arms, at the corner of the intersection but not far from it. Just as she felt just now, she wanted to be found by Yuichi, but she was also a little scared. As for what she was afraid of, even she herself didn't quite understand.

Yuichi's departure also drained her strength. The girl slowly squatted down against the wall, shivering, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, feeling a little cold.

…………

Just as Yumiko Miura was hesitating on the dial button of her cell phone, Yuichi came back.

She blurted out a complaint, but after seeing the sadness in those purple eyes, she changed her tone:

"Did something happen?"

The girl's deliberately gentle voice made Youyi pause for a moment. He closed his eyes and then opened them. His purple eyes were clear, and there was no trace of worry in the starry sky. Youyi did not want to bring his emotions into his interactions with friends. His decadence might ruin the originally happy atmosphere.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Yuichi walked ahead, followed closely by Miura Yumiko. She knew that the sorrow had not disappeared, but was just hidden deeper in her heart and she didn't want to see it.

Although it's nice to have your emotions taken care of, Yuichi's inability to express her troubles also means that she missed the opportunity to enter the boy's heart.

True love is showing off! It’s okay to tell me...

It would be better to say that she would rather Yuichi confide in her, because in this way she can soothe Yuichi's feelings while leaving her own footprints in the boy's heart.

…………

As night falls on the shopping street, the lights come on.

Amid the crowd, Yumiko Miura and Yuichi walked very close to each other, as if they were pushed together by the crowd. A few strands of black hair stuck to Yuichi's school uniform, and the subtle touch of the back of their hands seemed to hit each other's hearts.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, but only covered by the gorgeous neon lights. She somewhat enjoyed this feeling. The delicate and wonderful taste spread in her heart and between her lips. She wanted to grab the big hand that was so close to her, but she retreated in shyness and reserve. The helpless entanglement made her little head a little dizzy.

Although hugging and rubbing have become the norm in the live-action world, Yumiko Miura did not follow the trend. Her personality is the queen of the live-action circle, and she is a pure girl at heart. Over time, her reserve has transformed into the arrogance of a queen and the inability to be touched.

Even with Hayama Hayato, who was acting with them, they didn't have much contact. After all, what they both showed to the outside world was that Miura Yumiko liked Hayama Hayato, but they just remained friends because they were afraid of being rejected.

The two stopped in front of the dessert shop. The delicate and small samples by the window looked like pieces of art, showcasing the shop's superb craftsmanship.

"Yumiko?"

Yuichi seemed to have thought of something and looked at the girl next to him.

"Okay, let's go in."

Yuichi's pause gave Miura Yumiko a chance. His hand was led by the tender and gentle hand, and the slightly cool and delicate feeling made Yuichi's heart move.

He could see the red ears under the blonde hair of the girl walking in front of him. As he walked into the store, Yuichi still had no intention of letting go of the little hand in his palm.

Yumiko Miura seemed to have forgotten, and just held Yuichi's hand naturally but with a little bit of incongruity. Facing Yuichi's gaze, she looked at him stubbornly and shyly.

"Speaking of which, there's a special offer on cheesecake today, Yuichi, I'll treat you~"

She couldn't hold on any longer, her little hands broke away from the warm embrace, and the cold air mercilessly robbed her of her warmth.

"Is this why you...?"

Yuichi's surprised expression calmed Miura Yumiko's somewhat lost heart. The girl raised her lips slightly and her eyebrows curved:

"Yes~"

"Isn't it because of me that you didn't make the purchase last time? There wasn't a suitable opportunity before."

The Queen lifted her golden hair and spoke in a calm manner, not mentioning a word about wanting to spend more time together.

"That thing... do you still remember..."

Yuichi's calm face was slightly moved, his gorgeous purple eyes were filled with a smile of gratitude, a meteor shower appeared in the exquisite starry sky, and hit the girl's heart hard.

"Thank you, Yumiko."

"I just don't want to owe you anything, idiot! Don't think too much!"

The pounding heart made Miura Yumiko's face look delicate and charming, and her blue eyes seemed to be filled with emotions like smoke and mist because of the high temperature.

It's so strange... Why did I react so strongly to Yuichi's thanks? My heart was beating so fast and my ears were burning~ I felt like I didn't know what to do...

Why do I feel that he is so handsome? Why do I feel that his voice touches me so much? I can see him and hear his voice every day.

What's wrong with me

…………

That night.

After taking a shower, Youyi pushed the door and walked into Kasumigaoka Utaha's room. The fragrance was as strong as ever, so strong that it made him a little breathless, but this was far less eye-catching than the beautiful scene in front of him.

All the buttons on her light blue school uniform were undone, revealing the flower buds inside, ready to bloom. She placed her hands on her hips, her delicate black stockings faded halfway, revealing the whiteness on her thighs as tempting as peeled fruit flesh exposed to the air.

The wine-red eyes lifted up to look at Youyi, and her cheeks blushed slightly.

99. The person I hate turns out to be the jealous me.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was not too flustered. Although her cheeks felt a little hot, she continued to take off her stockings. The warm and white flesh was peeled off inch by inch, emitting a slight heat.

"Sit down first."

She smiled somewhat ambiguously, raised her chin to signal Youyi to sit on her bed first, and then changed into home clothes as if no one was around.

Youyi was not reserved either. After all, he had kissed the deeper beauty of the girl, so he was still able to undress with ease at this time.

The sweet fragrance lingered in the room, and at this moment there seemed to be a bit more sugar and stuffiness. Kasumigaoka Utaha's bed was very soft, and as soon as she sat down, she almost sank into it.

Soon, she changed her clothes, a fragrant breeze blew towards her, the soft bed swayed slowly, and the girl sat beside Yuichi without any hesitation, crossed her legs, and looked at Yuichi with her wine-red eyes.

"Brother, haven't you finished your homework tonight? Do you have something else to ask me so late? Or do you want to act like a spoiled child in your sister's arms?"

The small chin rested on Youyi's shoulder, and the increasingly hot breath blew against his ears, making him feel a little itchy.

Yuichi didn't turn his head. He could clearly feel Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze. The pretty face with a smile was caught in his peripheral vision. If he turned around now, their lips would have overlapped.

"I want to discuss something with you. Can you tell Kotonoha about our relationship?"

Before he finished speaking, Youyi felt the breath blowing on the side of his face stagnate and his shoulder felt lighter.

Kasumigaoka Utaha no longer focused her gaze on him, as if she was enduring something.

"Kotonoha? Is she the girl who runs to the train to look for you every morning?"

"Well, she was just passing by."
