Don't you guys dislike me?

Perhaps it was Tsukino's hoarse and harsh voice that disturbed the tranquility of the afternoon, and Yuichi couldn't help but frown:

"Even if I really rescued Amamiya, I would have already stepped into the quagmire by then. Those people would not give up. As long as I was in school one day, they would retaliate against me. By then, maybe not only me, but also my friends would be targeted by them, right?"

Even though Yuichi defended himself like this, he still couldn't change the scumbag character he had created. He was at a disadvantage from the beginning to the end. Tsukino's counterattack was fierce:

"After all this talk, aren't you still scared? If you were so cowardly, why did you accept Amamiya's kiss?! You're just an irresponsible scumbag!"

For a moment, Tsukino forgot about his fear and his timid self, and put his angry and bloodshot face in front of Yuichi, looking a little hideous and spitting everywhere.

Yuichi pushed his face away with disgust. Perhaps it was because Tsukino got too close and lost his balance, or perhaps everything had been calculated in advance, Tsukino stumbled back a few steps and fell.

Youyi couldn't help but stand up, his purple eyes were light and dark, his eyes were solemn. He knew how much force he had used in his hands, but the Tsukino who fell to the ground in front of him with a helpless look on his face was obviously different from what he expected.

He wanted to see some clues from Yue Ye's frozen and dull face, but his view was blocked by a graceful figure with fluttering purple hair.

Chizuru Amemiya stood in front of Tsukino, just as Tsukino had stepped forward before, and she heard what Tsukino said on her behalf.

Sometimes, when you are the beneficiary and when the other party stands on your side to complain, you will subconsciously ignore some of the other party's problems.

It is always difficult to be objective when it comes to emotionally charged issues.

"Senior! No matter what, you don't have to use force, right? Tsukino-kun just doesn't like your behavior and acted impulsively. You relied on your height and strength to attack Tsukino. How is this different from those bullies?"

Yuichi didn't pay attention to what Chizuru Amamiya said. He was more concerned about whether this was planned by the two of them. It seemed that Amamiya came from behind Tsukino. She probably didn't see his movements clearly, so she came to stop him?

Yuichi was not surprised that Chizuru Amamiya would behave like this, but wouldn't this confirm his guilt as a bad guy and a scum?

But...that's okay.

Yuichi cooperated by lifting his bangs and raising his eyelids. His gorgeous purple eyes sparkled with a faint light. He said in a light tone with a wicked smile:

"You should have the attitude of asking for help when you ask for help. You don't have the ability, but you come to me to ask for help. When you hear that I refuse, your mentality explodes, and you start to lecture me and call me a scumbag."

"You are so powerful and brave, why don't you scold those who bullied you? What they did was not worse than what I did? Why should I accept his scolding? Just because I am easier to talk to than those who bullied you, because I am not as bad as them?"

"So you're going to use bad words on good people? What's the point of being mean to me? Go be mean to them~"

The condescending purple eyes carried a heavy sense of oppression, mocking and sneering, looking past Chizuru Amamiya and silently examining Tsukino behind her.

But this weak little boy did not panic, he just lay quietly on the ground, without words or expression...

Like playing a role

——The character who is bullied.

……

……

Takagi Daisan hid beside the flower bed, holding his cell phone, his hands trembling a little. The position he chose was perfect. He neither recorded the sound of their conversation nor the fact that Yuichi seemed to have pushed Tsukino down with violence.

The process does not need to be too complete. As long as Yuichi Hoshino makes the prelude to violence, people who are unaware of the situation will start to imagine and make guesses, and finally construct a complete process of violence.

156. No matter what happens, sister will stand by you

"Even so, Tsukino-kun once mustered up the courage to stand in front of me and protect me. At least in my eyes, such Tsukino-kun is much better than my predecessors—!"

After saying that, Chizuru Amamiya turned around and found that Tsukino had struggled to stand up. There were no scars on his body, but he just looked a little embarrassed.

She retracted her hand, which had just been half extended. There was some regret in Tsukino's eyes, but fortunately, his image in Chizuru Amamiya's heart had changed for the better, and she felt much more balanced psychologically.

"Tsukino-kun, let's go."

The girl's sweet voice was filled with a hint of anger, which seemed to make the cool breeze covered with a layer of heat, and she couldn't wait to leave here.

"Um……"

Tsukino nodded obediently and followed the figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance.

Yuichi watched the two people leave silently. From then on, the negative image he created in Chizuru Amamiya's heart had been completely formed.

The relaxing afternoon was disrupted like this. Even if Youyi sat back under the shady tree again, he couldn't find the comfortable feeling he had just had. He felt a little irritated and uneasy.

Half asleep and half awake, Youyi, who was leaning on a bench, suddenly received a call. He picked up the phone and found that the lunch break was almost over.

The call was from Kasumigaoka Utaha, and it seemed like there was something urgent, so she asked him to go to the rooftop to find her.

When passing by the sparse crowd, Youyi vaguely sensed a few pairs of obscure and inquiring eyes, which suddenly appeared in the dark and made people unable to help but pay attention.

After changing into indoor shoes, Yuichi climbed the stairs and pushed open the half-open door, and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha standing on the iron fence with her arms folded, looking out.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, as cold and delicate as ever.

However, at this moment, a solemn frost appeared on that beautiful profile.

"elder sister…?"

Youyi called out, drawing the girl's attention back. She looked over, her brows slightly furrowed, looking solemn and complicated.

Youyi was a little confused, but considering the gazes he received on the road and what had just happened, he had some vague guesses in his heart.

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked over and stood in front of Yuichi. She raised her face slightly, raised her hands, and rubbed her stiff-looking face. She felt warm and soft.

The girl's eyebrows stretched in vain, and the corners of her straight mouth slowly raised:

"No matter what happens, sister will stand by you."

The words were light, but they carried a certain heavy power, hanging on the tip of Youyi's heart, making it tremble constantly.

He couldn't help but take a half step back, his purple eyes avoiding his sister's peaceful gaze:

"Why are you saying these things all of a sudden?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not answer, but pulled him to sit down and handed him the phone, with a faint fragrance.

She was very close to him, and both the distance and the touch were so ambiguous. Yuichi wanted to remind her, but he was attracted by the content on his phone.

It was a video recording. The person filming the video was standing behind a thin boy. The boy was bending over, as if begging another student who was lying on a bench. The two sides seemed to be having an argument.

The thin boy was pushed to the ground. At this time, a girl appeared in time and protected the boy, as if she was bravely stopping the bullying from happening.

Only Yuichi's face was recorded during the entire video recording. Was it taken by a passerby? Or was there someone who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time?

Maybe… Tsukino’s expression had already told him at that time.

"Now you know why your sister said those things?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice seemed much softer than usual, as if she was taking care of Yuichi's emotions.

"understood."

Yuichi closed his eyes and gathered his confused thoughts. Since this high-class beauty known for her aloofness knew about this, the incident and the video must have spread throughout the school.

"That girl is the one who confessed to you last time, right?"

The girl's voice was a little distant, and Yuichi then realized that she had left him. She leaned against the iron net, looked at the sky, and asked casually.

"Isn't your focus a little strange? Shouldn't you ask me what happened first?"

Youyi glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked a little heavy.

"That kind of thing, I gave you the answer when you came, didn't I?"

The girl turned around and smiled back.

"Too……"

"So it's your turn to answer my question."

"Yes, she is the girl who confessed to me last time."

"So the last few times we went out were because of her?"

The wind on the balcony was blowing stronger and faster, but it could not blow away the feeling hidden in the corners of the girl's curved mouth.

"sister……"

Youyi cried out a little helplessly, not knowing how to explain.

Kasumigaoka Utaha tightened her grip on the hem of her skirt, "Sorry... I spoke too much."

She gathered her emotions and asked:

"Is there anything I can help you with, sister?"

Youyi shook his head. "Just take care of yourself, sister. Aren't you going to graduate soon? Just focus on your studies."

He saw that Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression had not changed, so he comforted her softly:

"Things have turned out like this, although it's a little beyond my expectations, but it's still within my ability to handle, so don't worry, sister."

Youichi touched the top of the girl's head, but was gently slapped away.

"I am the older sister! Don't pretend to be a big brother comforting your younger sister, you stupid brother!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's fair face flushed with shame and anger, like solidified fat stained with a touch of rosy color, very beautiful, but unfortunately underneath it was the girl's contradictory and empty heart, like amber on the verge of breaking.

Is it because of her sister’s identity or because of her as a person that she doesn’t want to be told?

Because she wanted to maintain the image of a tolerant older sister, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't force the question. Her heart wasn't actually that magnanimous and tolerant...

"When I have resolved the matter, it may not only be my sister who knows about it, but everyone in the school may know about it..."

"Yeah...I know."

She actually didn't want to share it with other people.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled up, her red eyes slightly rippling with a certain expectation...

……

……

Yuichi came down from the rooftop a while after the bell rang, because he knew that if he came down earlier, he would probably be overwhelmed by the gazes and discussions.

At the last second before the bell rang, Youyi pushed open the door of the classroom. The classroom was almost quiet and ready for class. The sound of the door opening drowned out the last bit of noise, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door.

Of course, this also includes the Chinese teacher, a middle-aged man wearing reading glasses. He pushed his glasses up, looked at Yuichi clearly, and said slowly:

"Hoshino-kun... come to the office after school. Your teacher wants to see you."

As soon as the teacher's voice fell, there was a splash of water. The classroom, which had been quiet for a moment, became noisy again. Most of the topics revolved around one person.

——Hoshino Yuichi.

157. Before justice can be served, a bite is bitten back

The distance from the art building to the teaching building is not far, but Tsukino Leng just followed Amamiya Chizuru stupidly. He seemed to have not yet recovered from the joy of being protected by the person he liked, and his heart was stirring under his calm expression.

The noisy discussions in the corridor woke Tsukino up. In a daze, he realized that he was back to the classroom, even though he had the impression that this distance took a long time to walk.

Chizuru Amamiya had just sat back down when the girl at the table in front of her turned around for the first time and showed her the video on her phone, unable to suppress her curiosity:

"Hey... Captain Amamiya, this person is you, right?"

Qianhe's purple-red eyes were filled with doubt. After seeing the video, all her thoughts and ideas froze at this moment.

Her expression almost told the answer to the girl at the table in front of her. The girl's curiosity was nurtured and she began to ask:

"Then the one who fell to the ground should be Tsukino, right?"

It seemed that at a certain moment, everyone in the class implicitly turned their gaze and attention to the conversation between the two. The discussion in the class was slightly suppressed and became quiet, as if waiting for her next words.

Chizuru Amamiya finally couldn't sit still anymore, and just left a cold "No" and fled out of the classroom.

The depressing atmosphere began to boil over as soon as Chizuru left the classroom.

Why was it recorded...

That somewhat out-of-context video would escalate their personal problems to the school level. In order to protect the school's reputation, Senior Hoshino must come out and give an explanation. Of course... he might also be forced to admit his mistakes.

Given Gui's personality of always being concerned about others, he must be worried sick now. I have to go...

What can I do? Tell her that Hoshino-senpai is a scum who plays with feelings and bullies others? But... Chizuru Amamiya herself is not much better, and Katsura-san was also rescued by Hoshino-senpai with violence.

What's the point of her going?
