Don't you guys dislike me?

…………

The school bell always makes people happy. It is a march to break free from shackles and constraints and encourage young people to run towards freedom. Most students are excited. Their time from morning to night is occupied by studying. They should make good use of the time they finally have at their disposal.

But for Kasumigaoka Utaha, it was the sorrow of the warmth that had accompanied her being gone. She didn't know when the girl who wrote the love letter had made an appointment with Yuichi, and she didn't know whether Yuichi had responded to her feelings.

She only knew that she would soon face the consequence.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's steps were a little heavy, and she was out of tune with the classmates around her who were laughing and talking happily.

Several thoughts and results emerged in her mind, intertwining and eroding her emotions and self-confidence. She had never thought that Yuichi would be so popular. The daily interactions and past hatred made her unable to see Yuichi's strengths, and only his flaws were infinitely magnified.

In that situation, she naturally thought that no girl would like Yuichi. Who would like such a scumbag? Who would like such a lazy and unmotivated person?

104. The senior is lying!

Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have been walking on a misty and narrow road. When she looked back, Yuichi was surrounded by flowers. She wanted to blend into their laughter but felt a little far away.

Just watch Yuichi kissing and hugging other girls? Let his scent be taken away?

Thinking of this, she paused as she was walking down the stairs. Her heart seemed to be captured by someone. The corners of the girl's eyes were a little wet. When did her heart become so fragile? Separation is always a normal thing for people... Why is it so sad...

The wine-red mirror was rippled with water, and a few tears overflowed. How stupid am I to be sad for that kind of person?! The thoughts of resistance collided and intertwined in her mind. Every collision was a deepening of emotions that she was unwilling to accept. The product of the collision was her heart that was twisted into a ball and hurt to death.

The falling of tears is accompanied by the release of emotions, and when the tears dry, the emotions dissipate.

Then... there was endless emptiness and void.

Unconsciously, she stopped at the stairs, as if waiting for the person who could fill the void in her heart to appear, and then... he appeared.

A pair of slightly messy black hair swayed slowly not far away, and the wine-red lake surface reflected the setting sun and shone with a new glow.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's sinking heart was slowly awakened. She opened her mouth, but her voice was dry and she couldn't make a sound, because she wanted to know whether Yuichi was going to keep the appointment.

She carefully moved her long black silk legs, not wanting to attract Yuichi's attention. She followed him quietly, hoping to get a glimpse of the answer? But what could she do after knowing it?

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't have time to think too much, because Yuichi was gradually going away. Passing by the library and through the forest path, Yuichi stopped in a place where the setting sun could not reach. It seemed that there was only a vending machine waiting for him in front.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't dare to go too deep, and quietly lay at the entrance of the alley. Her pupils widened slightly, and she felt that the gods were playing a bad joke on her. Why did they choose this place to confess?

The hands holding the schoolbag kept exerting force, and the silver teeth bit the lips lightly, and the sour taste slowly spread.

That was the place where Yuichi and she met for the first time. That was the beginning of their encounter. Although she didn't want to admit it... but she gave this place a special meaning.

A girl with flowing purple hair walked out from the other side of the vending machine. She was petite and pretty, with a delicate face that was slightly frowned, and she looked serious and cute.

Yuichi recognized her. She was the girl who had secretly glanced at him while he was eating in the cafeteria at noon. It turned out that she was Chizuru Amamiya.

Even the most rigid person will be shy and at a loss when seeing someone they like. Chizuru Amamiya's rigidity is more to establish her own authority in the class because she is the class monitor... The reason is a bit childish but she sticks to it so stubbornly that it inadvertently becomes part of her personality and her daily life.

But now she can slightly peel off her pretentious shell and reveal her budding love.

"Senior Hoshino!"

Chizuru Amemiya raised her voice slightly, as if she was cheering herself up, her round face was dyed pink, perhaps because she had been covered in that outer shell for too long, her true appearance was overly delicate and fragile.

"Hello, Amamiya-san."

This was the first time that Senior called her, but just by calling her surname, she felt sweet inside. Love can really make people fall in love easily...

"Um, um...senpai, ever since I heard about you from someone, I've been a little concerned. Many people in the first year of high school are afraid of you, saying that you are a demon king or a devil, and that it's best to avoid you when they see you."

"Every time you go to Class A of Grade One, I pay a little attention to you. I feel that your behavior is not as violent as the rumors say. Spreading rumors is very bad in my opinion, so I went to learn more about you."

The girl grabbed the hem of her skirt shyly, feeling a little embarrassed:

"I later learned that you did something disregarding your reputation in order to prevent your friends in Class A of the first year of high school from being bullied. I think...senpai is very handsome...to be able to do this for others."

"I started paying attention to you secretly, every time you came to the first year of high school. Although you never paid attention to me, when I came to my senses, I found that I couldn't take my eyes off you."

Perhaps because he is always methodical in doing things, Yuichi's casualness sparkles with a unique charm in Chizuru Amamiya's eyes. People all have a strong desire for what they lack, but it is difficult to change their personality, so most of them will pin their hopes on their other half who will stay with them forever.

Youyi listened quietly to the girl's feelings growing from budding to sprouting. Her feelings were as beautiful as poetry, and her shy eyes were filled with romantic poems.

That's why Youyi didn't like to keep the appointment. It was a bit too much to ask him to break this delicate flower with his own hands, because when he cut the red string tied to his body, he would also feel pain...

His purple eyes were slightly cold, like the quiet night sky. At this time, he had to cool his attitude and be decisive in his words and actions so that the other party could not see the hope that he had in him. His life was already chaotic enough...

His eyes moved slightly to the alley behind him and he took a deep breath.

"I have read your letter, I have listened carefully to your words, and your feelings have been thoroughly conveyed to me."

Chizuru Amemiya pursed her lips lightly. She read coldness and alienation in Yuichi's words. This was enough. I had already expressed my feelings... and I would not have any regrets anymore.

The girl's fragile and sensitive heart was covered with a layer of cushioning film. Her poems were burned at the party, no matter how beautiful they were...

"But I'm sorry, I don't want to be in a relationship right now, so I can't respond to your expectations."

The words of refusal were so difficult to say out of his mouth. Yuichi hated to see beauty collapse because of him... It was not worth it to say it just to dissolve Kasumigaoka Utaha's stubbornness.

I wish I had known not to come...

Yuichi's tactful refusal instantly cut off the emotions that were springing up in Amamiya Chizuru's mind. Her mind was filled with silence, and even the sound of her heartbeat could not be heard. Perhaps it was because her heart was empty.

The faint sorrow was filled with a different kind of bitterness, so bitter that she couldn't open her eyes, so bitter that her tears couldn't stop flowing, and the flowers were withering.

Before she put the love letter, Chizuru Amamiya knew that Hoshino Yuichi had been on a date with someone before. She naively thought that she was special, and for this reason, she was happy many times during the time they met...

Unexpectedly, the result did not change...

Why don't you want to fall in love? Senior, you already have so many beautiful girls around you. If you want to refuse, at least give me an excuse!

What can you say without regrets? It is extremely difficult to be able to pick it up and let it go. This is her first love, this is the first time she has been attracted to him, and there is no room for a second person in her eyes.

So it's impossible to ask her to give up...

105. The light in her eyes makes people panic

I can't see clearly... I can't hear... What did the girl say to Youyi? She ran away, I guess she was rejected, ah... Although I don't want to admit it, my heart is relieved, and the freedom I had previously controlled seems to be back in my hands.

She is the one closest to Yuichi... She is special.

After seeing the scene she expected, Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to leave, but Yuichi had already walked past her as if he didn't notice her.

No...I should be special.

"Ah~ Has the scumbag been dumped?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and teased with a gloating look, she was obviously so angry in the morning, but she changed her attitude in the afternoon. Was she eager to leave her voice in the heart of the frustrated boy?

"Roughly the same…"

Yuichi's eyes were slightly heavy, and the mirror-like night sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds. He completely lost the ability to appreciate Kasumigaoka Utaha's anger. Her current appearance was completely different from what he had expected.

"You are the only one who has ever been dumped by someone who sent you a love letter, right?"

She said this deliberately, hoping to attract Yuichi's rebuttal.

"Well, maybe."

Yuichi's gaze was still fixed on the dim road in front of him. His casual answer was more like a perfunctory one, as if he was trying to calm the little girl's emotions and soothe her excited heart.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long, each leaning to one side, without any intersection...

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say anything else, as if her words would just pass by Yuichi and ultimately never reach his heart.

Yuichi quickened his pace and put some distance between himself and Kasumigaoka Utaha, which seemed to be the gap between the two people's hearts.

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought that the two of them would continue like this until they got home, but Yuichi walked in the completely opposite direction of her at the intersection.

"It's so late, is there anything else to do?"

The girl's voice couldn't help but soften, as if she was trying to keep him.

"Ah."

Yuichi left without looking back. Not much, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Yuichi's deliberately stiff tone in the morning was better than the coldness that came from the heart now.

He didn't explain, they were like familiar strangers. Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart was relieved and sank to the bottom of the lake.

…………

Yuichi stopped in front of the grand mansion, surrounded by mansions that were identical to the Katsura residence.

He rang the doorbell and was greeted at the door by Gui Xin. Her delicate face, as delicate as a porcelain doll, turned puffy the moment she saw him, as if she was looking at a heartless man.

"welcome……"

The girl's voice was full of reluctance, and her clear voice became much lower.

"excuse me."

Youyi walked in. He could have handed the lecture notes to Guixin and left leisurely. It was somewhat thankless to come in with the unwelcome attitude of the little girl, but he still had things to do.

"My sister is on the second floor. She is still sleeping. Remember to be gentle."

"Thank you."

Gui Xin hummed softly, pausing on the floor with her bare feet, her pigtails swaying slightly, and she seemed to have remembered her sister resting again, so she moved a little more gently.

…………

Yuichi stopped in front of Katsura Kotonoha's door, knocked gently a few times, and received a subtle and weak promise from the owner.

He pushed open the door and saw the frail girl lying quietly on the bed, covered with a thin sheet. Her muscles were as white as snow, but with a hint of paleness.

Seeing the person coming, Gui Yanye's face turned red, and a piece of peach blossom fell on the snow. She quickly pulled up the sheet to cover her own loss of composure, and spoke with a slight nasal tone:

"Yu-chan...!"

She shyly looked away, last night's peeping still vivid in her mind, as if she was afraid that Youyi would discover that the person hiding in the shadow was her.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Ah, yes! The fever has gone away."

Seeing Yuichi walk into the room, the girl's toes hidden under the sheets curled up nervously, as if they were mimosa.

Closer... Closer...

This was the first time that a member of the opposite sex came into Gui Yanye's room. The owner of the room curled up on the bed, her beautiful deep purple eyes flickering with shyness.

Are the clothes put away? Are the things neatly arranged? Is the room stuffy or smelly?

The pink on her pretty face became even more intense, and her thoughts were chaotic and wild. Her head must be so hazy because of the fever...

Seeing that Katsura Kotonoha's face was blushing too much, Youichi thought about it and tried to test her:

"I'm sorry... shouldn't I come in now? I'll just leave the handouts on the table."

He has never known how to handle such matters properly, and entering a girl's room without permission was somewhat impolite. Although he had knocked on the door, the other party might have thought that it was Gui Xin who knocked on the door, and therefore agreed to let him in.

"It's fine!"

Katsura Yanye quickly spoke up to stop Youichi from leaving. She was a little excited and coughed a few times.

"I'm glad you came to visit me, Yuu-chan. Thank you."

Two little hands were entangled on the sheets, and the tiny sounds like mosquitoes and flies floated in the quiet room, and her face turned redder.

This might be the first time that a classmate came to visit his home. Her awkwardness and helplessness made Youyi's heart move.

Youichi took the lecture notes on the desk to the bedside and handed them to Katsura Kotonoha. The girl's eyes were a little evasive like a deer, but she still took it obediently.

Since the emotional breakdown of Katsura Kotonoha last night, she seemed to have to accept that their friendship contained impurities. Otherwise, why would she run away from the two people who were accompanying each other under the moonlight with her emotions?

It was so difficult for her to look directly into Yuichi's eyes now, because if she wasn't careful she would get fascinated by him, and she didn't want Yuichi to see her losing control like that.

"You're welcome, because aren't we good friends?"

The tenderness flowing in the purple eyes calmed the girl's somewhat panicked heart to a great extent, but it also gave rise to a sour taste lingering in her heart. Are they just friends?

Katsura Kotonoha always kept her head down, and Youichi didn't know that the girl had frowned and looked depressed.

"I came here today because I wanted to answer your question from yesterday."

Hearing this, the girl raised her head hesitantly and said with a forced smile:

"If you feel it's inappropriate, Yuu-chan, it's okay if you don't consider my curiosity."
