Don't you guys dislike me?

Tsukino was a little confused, so he went to his seat and tried to ask his old friends in his small circle about the situation.

"Um...Sato-san."

As soon as Tsukino opened his mouth, the boy called Sato stepped back a few steps to distance himself from him as if he was afraid of getting into trouble.

"Hey, hey...what's your reaction? Am I weird in some way?"

Tsukino had a lot of bad premonitions in his heart, but to be honest, he didn't really want to confirm the authenticity of the premonitions.

He lowered his head and looked at himself, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and pointed at his clothes and said:

"Oh! I see. You think I'm dirty, don't you? I fell down by myself. During the physical test, I felt that my long jump result was not very good, so I went to the sand pit to practice a few more times. Sato, I won't lose to you in the long jump next time!"

Tsukino instinctively didn't want to tell anyone about the bullying he was experiencing, so he made up an excuse and gradually approached his friends.

He is an invisible person who is not much different from him in this circle. In order not to appear to be out of place, a few of them just stick together. The relationship between them cannot be said to be very good.

"Tsukino-san, you have to retake not only the long jump but also the other events. Kiyomiya-san said that you are suspected of cheating. For the sake of fairness, you have to retake the test."

There was a tall and thin boy in the circle who seemed to feel sorry for them and reminded them in a suppressed voice.

"It turns out they weren't joking..."

The remaining hope in his heart collapsed at this moment. Tsukino came to his senses and found that the class had become quiet. The indifferent gazes were finally no longer hidden and all fell on him.

He felt cold and helpless, as if he was the only one kicked out of the kang. The kang was surrounded by people and the place that originally belonged to him had long disappeared.

Tsukino suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted trying to be a hero and regretted helping Chizuru Amamiya.

If I had stood aside and watched, wouldn't all this have happened?

146. You have such a cruel heart~

It had been a long time since she had cried so loudly like this. The students and teachers had all returned to the classroom. No one would hear her crying, and no one would notice her. All the grievances and frustrations that she had been holding in her heart slowly fell away with her tears.

My mind fell into a quiet blank, but this tranquility was only temporary, because I would continue to suffer their bullying tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even in the future. When the future became a dark and inevitable future, the light in my heart would continue to shrink.

The endless greyness made her feel like she was drowning and suffocating...

"You'd better go home directly."

The calm voice did not fluctuate due to the girl's sobs, just like a few drops of tears falling into the lake, not even the ripples that appeared were noticeable.

"Hoshino...senpai..."

Chizuru Amamiya raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with mist and filled with undisguised surprise, as if asking why Yuichi was here?

Yuichi didn't answer her. Under the girl's surprised gaze, he slowly sat down beside her and handed her the lunch box in his hand.

"You may have eaten the lunch box Kotonoha gave you, but you should still accept it and return it to her tomorrow so she won't worry."

convenient……

Hearing these two words, Chizuru Amamiya's stomach began to growl belatedly. She hadn't even taken a few sips of the drinks and milk she bought from the convenience store before they were ruined by the water thrown by Murakami Aiko and others.

"Thanks…"

The girl took it a little stiffly, opened the lid, and ate it in small bites. The food was already cold and hard, but it was much better than eating alone in the toilet.

Yuichi raised his eyebrows, stood up and went to a nearby vending machine to get two bottles of drinks and placed them next to Chizuru Amamiya.

Under the shade of the trees, besides the rustling of leaves in the wind, the only sound was the girl's delicate chewing.

Suddenly the chewing stopped, she put down her chopsticks and asked in a low voice:

"Senior, you don't have to go to class. Is that okay?"

Hoshino Yuichi rested his hands on the chair behind him, raised his head, looked at the mottled shadows of the trees above his head and said slowly:

"It doesn't matter. I didn't sleep at noon, and I took a nap on the table during class."

"Feel sorry……"

Chizuru Amamiya whispered that the senior must have missed his lunch break because he was looking for her.

You glanced to the side and nodded slightly, unable to see her expression from under her messy purple hair:

"No need to apologize. I came to see you on my own initiative. I just had nothing to do."

Chizuru Amamiya suddenly raised her eyes and revealed him with a smile:

"Senior, please stop lying. It must be Katsura-san who asked you to come."

Yuichi continued to look up at the swaying treetops without responding, which was considered as his consent.

The girl's bright eyes dimmed as they were obscured by the shadows of the trees, and she continued to eat with her head down.

The two didn't speak anymore.

Yuichi didn't speak until Chizuru Amamiya finished her lunch box:

"I should be going back soon. Do you want me to ask for leave for you?"

The girl shook her head and said nothing.

"Then I'll go first."

Just as he finished speaking, Youyi was about to stand up when he felt the hem of his clothes sink. He turned around and looked.

Chizuru Amamiya no longer hid her face, her eyes still dodged, not daring to look directly into Yuichi's eyes, her voice trembling slightly as if she was choking:

"Senior, you really never asked me why I became like this..."

"Even if I asked, you wouldn't tell me."

The girl's hand fell as he spoke. Youyi didn't say anything more, nor did he wait for her to say anything else. He left at the same leisurely pace as when he came.

It was as if the scars on Chizuru Amamiya's body and the dirt on her school uniform did not exist, or it was as if she did not care at all, as if she came to her only because of Kotonoha Katsura's request.

Yuichi doesn't need Chizuru Amamiya's liking, nor does he need her love. He just wants to find a friend to accompany Kotonoha Katsura.

Chizuru Amamiya confessed to him and came to him, more to seek protection, and the love she contained in it should be close to nothing.

But after spending many days together, in this poetic age when all new things seem beautiful and ignorant, Chizuru Amamiya more or less developed some feelings for Yuichi.

When Amamiya Chizuru grabbed Yuichi just now, were the words she said out of fear and a desire to seek protection, or was it because she felt sad because of his indifference? Which side was dominant?

Yuichi didn't want to think too much. He just needed to lower Chizuru Amamiya's expectations of him to the lowest point and then create an opportunity for him to take action.

……

……

In the afternoon physical education class, the second-year high school students unfortunately also had to take the physical examination.

Hoshino Yuichi touched the fish, maintained a mid-level position in the crowd, finished the long run, and then leisurely met Horie Tomoya from the second team at the finish line.

He also bought a few bottles of cold stuff to provide strategic materials for Tomoya, who was experiencing a protracted war at the epic level of history.

Yuichi squatted beside the track, biting the straw of his drink and watching Horie Tomoya moving his legs half-heartedly at the back of the team.

"You run pretty fast."

Feeling the fragrant breeze blowing towards him, Youichi couldn't help but look up. Miura Yumiko, who was wearing sports shorts, was shaking her smooth long legs. Her neck was tied into a ponytail, revealing its whiteness and tenderness, which was as smooth as cream mousse, making people want to take a sip.

The girl keenly caught Yuichi's gaze, and blocked it with her hand with a bit of reserve, but her pretty face unconsciously curved slightly due to shyness.

"Just like the others."

Yuichi looked away.

Miura Yumiko also half-knelt down with Yuu, hugged her knees, and leaned against him vaguely. Her bright lip gloss was a little dazzling in the sun:

"I always thought that you usually stay at home and your physical fitness would not be able to keep up. I am ready to help you at the finish line."

If only you couldn't run...

The girl's emerald green eyes reflected Yuichi's profile. Her Adam's apple and collarbone were covered with sweat, making them as hazy as the mist just out of the bath, which attracted her attention.

"That's a shame. I can practice at home. By the way, do you want some?"

Youyi opened the shopping bag, which contained no less than ten bottles of drinks, emitting wisps of cold air.

“Why did you buy so much?”

The girl's eyes froze slightly, and she looked surprised.

"Tongya always gets thirsty after long-distance running. I need to take other tests later, so I bought them together to save running around."

Yuichi responded as if he was used to it.

"Well, I'm welcome then."

Yumiko Miura picked up a bottle at random and drank it with relish, with her eyes curved, looking very happy.

Is it because of this simple cold drink? It seems to be just...

Seeing that Yumiko hadn't left yet, Yuichi raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Didn't the sports commissioner ask you to record the girls' scores? Why are you still chatting here?"

"Hehe~ The girls have all finished running, only the boys are left."

"Well...I'm going to pick up Tomoya."

As he spoke, Youyi stood up and his eyes turned to the playground. Horie Tomoya was already in his last lap.

"Let me help you."

Yumiko followed behind Yuichi and took the shopping bag from him.

Tomoya Horie finally crossed the finish line with half a breath. He was so out of breath that he saw stars as he looked at the floor. Fortunately, Yuichi supported him and he did not fall to the ground.

147. Let them spend their entire lives bearing the cost of their actions at this moment

Seeing the bottles of drinks in the shopping bag dwindling one by one, Horie Tomoya seemed to want to make up for all the sweat he had shed through drinks. In less than ten minutes, his already round belly swelled even bigger.

"Resurrection with full health!"

Peng Ye suddenly stood up, but his legs went limp and he fell back down again:

"Stand up, deduct 50% of your health."

His legs were still shaking after the long run. He scratched his fat face, an expression of unspeakable anxiety on his face:

"Youyi, help me go to the toilet quickly, my stomach is so bloated."

……

Tomoya Horie finally calmed down after coming out of the toilet and wandered around in the shade with Yuichi.

I don't know who arranged the order, not putting the torturous long-distance running at the end, forcing them to run the 100 meters again.

Of course, now is the time for students to rest. Otherwise, if they go sprinting with weak legs, many people will probably fall down along the way.

Horie Tomoya withdrew his gaze from Yuichi's phone. He was looking at it intently, and his slightly tired eyes brightened a little.

"So Amamiya Chizuru was really bullied? But the boy who got beaten up with her was really amazing. He's the typical person who is always causing trouble but not being able to do anything. Those people were clearly planning to leave, but he still rushed out to attract hatred."

Horie Tomoya grinned, his simple and honest expression mixed with a hint of disdain and sneer:

"If he hadn't been beaten too, I would have really suspected that he was the excuse sent by that Murakami to increase the bullying of Chizuru Amamiya."

As if he felt something was wrong, he added:

"But... he is indeed very brave. He hid behind Amemiya at the beginning, but now he has the courage to stand out. If he had super powers, he might be able to fight back and kill us."

"By the way, did you take this video at noon?"

Yuichi turned off his phone and nodded:

"Yes, I happened to see it when Kotonoha asked me to deliver lunch boxes. I recorded it thinking it could be used as a bargaining chip to make them stop."

Horie Tomoya came over with a narrow smile:

"You just watched it happen? Didn't you try to stop it? Chizuru Amamiya has been with you for a while, how could you be so cruel as to just stand by and watch?"
