Don't you guys dislike me?

In the classroom a few days later.

"So... your plan to trick Miura into working for you was discovered?"

Tomoya Horie asked while holding a bottle of juice and biting the straw.

"Did you discover it?"

Yuichi Hoshino was not too surprised, because Yumiko Miura had almost no longer concealed their relationship and ran to him as soon as school was over. But now that he thinks about it, that's just Yumiko's personality.

"Tsk, you don't even notice that Miura's eyes are almost on you. Sometimes when she's chatting with her friends, she'll secretly glance in your direction. What's more, she comes to look for you right after school. It's too obvious."

Horie Tomoya sipped the juice, his eyes showing a suspicious look, and asked:

"Are you guys already dating?"

"No…"

Horie Tomoya asked in disbelief:

"If such a beautiful girl sticks to you, would you not feel anything?"

"Hmm... I always feel that it's a bit tiring to get along with her. It seems that we have exhausted all the topics to talk about. It feels a bit awkward. I am not very interested in anything she brings up."

Youyi said with his face tilted and brows slightly frowned.

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. One of you is a pop star, and the other is a otaku. Your social circles and personalities are completely different. No wonder you think so. Pop stars are good at socializing and like to interact with others, while otaku like to bury themselves in their own world."

Tomoya Horie spoke eloquently, his eyebrows twitching, and he expressed his views with great enthusiasm.

"It would be strange if two people with different interests were not tired if they were forced to be together."

"maybe……"

……

……

Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, covering the blue sky with a haze.

The arms exposed under the short-sleeved shirt were touched by the passing wind and felt a little cold. Youyi glanced at the swaying treetops and remained silent.

When school was over, he stood alone at the exit of the first floor and was soon swallowed up by the crowd behind him. The gloomy sky was a little depressing, but the hot wind no longer blew.

Yuichi rejected Miura Yumiko's invitation and saw the girl's lips rise and fall, as if he witnessed the inexplicable sadness of flowers blooming and falling.

He felt a little sorry for Yumiko. After all, not everyone could receive such a kind invitation from a girl. He also anticipated that he would regret it, but after a lot of thoughts, he still chose to refuse.

I didn't feel tired before, maybe it was because there was no close contact, and the superficial interactions left both parties with ample space and room for imagination, or in other words, they didn't understand each other at all.

After actually getting along with each other, the abstract person becomes concrete, and the incompatibility of one's own personality with the other is exposed. There is no way to understand each other, and conflicts in concepts follow. This is the future that can be seen with the naked eye.

That's good... just being simple friends, like Yumiko said, they are just friends.

The drizzle fell and moistened the dry ground. In the summer, such a drizzle is rare.

……

……

As soon as Yuichi stepped onto the entrance, Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed open the half-closed door.

The girl's thin school uniform was soaked into a translucent gauze, and her violet underwear was faintly visible. The wet school uniform clung to her slender and plump body, as hazy as a dream when waking up in the morning.

Raindrops were dripping on her fair face, and her beautiful hair was sticky on her cheeks, like a beauty just out of the bath.

"Have you seen enough?"

The beautiful wine-red eyes glared angrily, waking Youyi from his dream.

"Feel sorry."

The extremely seductive beauty of Kasumigaoka Utaha always makes people intoxicated unconsciously. Yuichi feels that his will is a little weak today.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?"

He obviously asked the question knowingly!

"I said I didn't bring it, will you lend it to me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and snorted softly.

"If my sister didn't bring it... I'll send it to you."

Yuichi's reply was within her expectations, but she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, which aggravated her bad mood after being caught in the rain.

"Hmph, should I thank you for your kindness?"

She said this almost through gritted teeth. The wet plum blossoms revealed sharp thorns on the branches, but the stamens were still soft.

"Go change your clothes quickly... or you'll catch a cold."

After saying this, Youyi went up the stairs on his own.

Kasumigaoka Utaha absentmindedly took off her wet little leather shoes. Her stockings were soaked with rain water and felt heavy and cold, but she didn't feel much.

She thought that after so many days, her attitude towards Yuichi would be calmer and more indifferent. Of course, she miscalculated. When she started talking and when she looked into Yuichi's eyes, her heart, which she thought was calm, began to boil.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was changing into slippers slowly. The sound of her feet stepping on the stairs was still making a slight sound. She quietly raised her head and looked at the figure that was about to disappear at the end of the stairs, feeling a little weird.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Yuichi was not staring at her wet body in a daze, but more like he was thinking about other things. Tsk, if she thought like that, she would be even more upset...

The coldness of the clothes finally woke up the girl from her thoughts. She hugged her arms subconsciously, her nose itched, and she sneezed.

——Ah!

……

……

I buried myself in the quilt and looked at the sound of raindrops hitting the window outside. My heart naturally calmed down. The dripping white noise lulled me to sleep. I turned over comfortably and sleepiness came quietly.

The alarm clock rang on time, pushing Youyi from his dreamland into the cafe. It took great courage to walk from the comfortable bed into the rain, but it was his empty wallet that gave him the determination to move forward.

Sometimes, sitting on a recliner by the window, taking a sip of slightly bitter coffee and watching the passers-by hurrying by in the rain, it feels good to be in a quiet corner.

At least the idea is wonderful all the way to the store front...

Under the eaves in front of the store, Youyi folded his umbrella and heard the sound of feet stepping on the water. He looked up and saw a blonde girl holding an umbrella and rushing over.

The emerald green eyes lit up for a moment when she saw You, then seemed to think of something, and then dimmed again.

The two looked at each other in silence. Only the sound of water dripping from the eaves beside them prevented them from feeling awkward.

"Go in first."

"okay."

……

……

On rainy days, the coffee shop becomes deserted again, and only a few people have the leisure to enjoy the rain and drink coffee.

With fewer customers, Youyi and the others felt much more relaxed. They just cleaned up the equipment and cups, and brought the last customer's coffee to the table, and they were completely relieved. The manager even sat aside, put on his reading glasses, and started reading a book.

As a result, only Yuichi and Yumiko were left at the bar.

An inexplicably subtle atmosphere was slowly brewing. No one spoke, but it seemed like everyone wanted to speak.

Miura Yumiko had the urge to speak many times, but when she recalled the rejection that Yuichi seemed to have endured for a long time in the afternoon, she became hesitant again...

120. An annoying coincidence

The seemingly distant but actually thin atmosphere between the two came to an abrupt end when the wind chimes swayed again.

"welcome…"

Miura Yumiko called out in a professional manner, with a sigh of relief between her words.

The glass door was pushed open, and a gentle woman and an intellectual and elegant man walked in together, one after the other.

Are you a couple?

Youmiko felt that the woman looked familiar, but she didn't pay much attention to her. She thought while wiping the porcelain cup in her hand.

The word "lovers" is vague to her, but it also makes people yearn for it. However, since this afternoon, it has also added a touch of anxiety and fear of loss.

The girl glanced at Youyi vaguely from the corner of her eyes, with a complex confusion in her eyes.

……

……

Tachibana Haruna looked at the drizzle falling from the sky, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, feeling a little troubled.

She didn't bring an umbrella...

I saw my colleagues leaving one after another, but the drizzle showed no sign of stopping. The summer rain always comes so suddenly.

"Hina..."

Hearing someone calling her, the voice sounded familiar, she subconsciously looked over there.

This curiosity really made her a little regretful.

"What's going on, Mr. Hagiwara?"

At some point, Hagiwara Hiiragi's gentle smile froze. He held an umbrella and observed in the rain for a long time. He found that Tachibana Haruna did not bring an umbrella. He felt that this was an opportunity.

Considering Hina's attitude after the last incident, Hagiwara Hiiragi was worried that Hina would not share an umbrella with him, so he went to the shopping mall to buy an umbrella before returning.

When he came back, Hina was still there, which further confirmed his guess. With Hina's gentle personality, her attitude towards him who gave her an umbrella shouldn't be too bad...

But as soon as the other party opened his mouth, Hagiwara Hiiragi miscalculated.

"Hina, long time no see."

He tried to stay calm, but his elegant and easy-going demeanor wouldn't be lost because of such a small matter.

"Is there anything wrong? If not, I'll leave first."

No matter how harsh Tachibana Haruna's tone is, it will turn into a gentle breeze after passing through those warm lips.

Seeing that Hina was about to pick up her bag and rush into the rain, Hagiwara Hiiragi quickly handed her the umbrella he had just bought.

"Hina... I'm here to bring you an umbrella."

Tachibana Haruna looked at the increasing rain and hesitated for a moment. When she thought of the stickiness and coldness of the rain, she raised her beautiful eyes and asked coldly:

"How much?"

“Ah…ah?”

Hagiwara Hiiragi didn't expect that Hina's attitude towards him would be more repulsive than he imagined. Was she trained to be like this by that boy? He couldn't accept Hina's cold attitude.

"How much is that umbrella?!"

She repeated it impatiently.

"It doesn't matter if you don't pay. After all, considering our relationship, this little help is nothing."

He behaved like a gentleman, but tried to secretly bring up memories of his past with Tachibana Haruna.

"Our relationship? There is no such thing at all... Mr. Hagiwara's joke is not funny at all."

Tachibana Haruna's pretty face gradually grew colder, and the occasional raindrops passing by seemed to be turning into frost.

"I'm sorry...for saying such self-righteous things."

The man apologized straightforwardly and still gently, but his grip on the umbrella handle kept tightening. After just a brief conversation, he found that the true love and warm reliance in his heart became distant and unfamiliar, but he was not ready to give up.

Hagiwara Hiiragi decisively handed the umbrella to Tachibana Haruna. When he took his hand back, there was a thousand-yuan bill in his palm. He smiled helplessly, but if he gave it back, Haruna would not accept his umbrella...

It's really cold...

Her attitude of alienation and rejection was even colder than the chilly rain. There always seemed to be an invisible wall between her and me standing in the rain. I could not force my way through it and could only watch her go away.
