Don't you guys dislike me?

"Can you really let things end like this? Or will you just cut the Gordian knot and abandon me when the time comes?"

159. Do you want to blow yourself up? Do you dare to blow yourself up? Can you blow yourself up?

Yuichi's words made the teacher smell a hint of sarcasm, and the tapping sound on the table stopped. He thought that this usually quiet and obedient student would do as he expected, but he didn't expect...

He exhaled slowly, subconsciously touched his pocket, then remembered that this was an office and gave up.

Without the nourishment of tobacco, the already rough voice became even rougher:

"How could the school abandon you when you say that, Hoshino-kun? You should always think on the bright side when doing things. Even if things are as complicated as you say, that student named Tsukino really won't let go."

"Since this incident has spread widely, the school will also conduct an in-depth investigation. Don't worry, as long as you agree to apologize and cooperate with the school to minimize the adverse impact of this incident, I will personally go to find that Tsukino to understand the situation. Of course, not only me, but Tsukino's teacher will also go."

Seeing that Yuichi is not someone who can be intimidated by his status, the teacher put down his airs, but he still had to fool those who needed to be fooled:

"Let's solve the public issues first, and then you can discuss the private matters among yourselves. The secret crush, the open crush, the love triangle, are just the spice of adolescence. There's no need to embarrass everyone because of these private matters."

"Teacher should say these words to Tsukino," Yuichi added for him.

"Of course I will." The teacher couldn't help but take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth: "As long as you agree to apologize to Yue Ye, I will go to the teacher of the first grade later to report it."

Yuichi did not answer immediately, but changed the topic to another place:

“If an incident of bullying is found, what will the school do?”

The teacher looked up, his eyes were as turbid as river water mixed with loess, making it difficult to see his thoughts:

"They will definitely be severely punished, with penalties, suspension or even expulsion. In short, the school will not allow such vicious incidents to happen at will."

"Well..." Youyi smiled noncommittally and said nothing else.

"Speech organized by the school shouldn't be that fast, right?"

"Of course, this matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and no later than Friday."

"I know. I will apologize."

Hoshino Yuichi restrained his smile, as if he had returned to his usual quiet and lazy self.

……

……

The scorching sun set, taking away the blood-red sunset glow on the horizon, leaving only pitch black with occasional specks of starlight.

But the passion of the summer night will not end there. The streets of Bunkyo Ward are still brightly lit, and the light continues in full swing in another form.

In the family restaurant, Tsukino was dealing with the omelette rice in front of him while expressing all the confusion that had been accumulating for the whole afternoon:

"Hey! Takagi-kun, I just don't understand why Class Leader Amamiya would speak up for a scumbag who doesn't like her and doesn't intend to take responsibility! He's obviously playing with her feelings, but she's still throwing herself into the fire..."

Gao Cheng Da Shan used a spoon to poke at the sundae, but he didn't eat it. It seemed more like he was playing. He raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Then why are you still obsessed with her? You know she has someone else in her heart, but you still refuse to give up."

Tsukino's chewing stopped for a moment, and his breathing was choked, but he still felt a little unwilling:

"But...Senior Hoshino was so excessive, why did Chizuru Amamiya still help him..."

He said some nonsense and kept going back to the starting point. He obviously already knew the answer in his heart, but he kept asking, asking her and himself.

"Who knows..."

Takagi Daisan answered perfunctorily. He was not a patient man. Of course he felt annoyed when he heard Tsukino, the person he loved but could not have, asking the same question over and over again.

But compared to this bit of annoyance, it really disgusted Hoshino Yuichi, allowing him to finally let out the resentment that had been accumulating since his last kneeling, without causing internal injuries.

After all, his heart is always happier.

The family restaurant had a lively atmosphere on this warm summer night, but the constant chatter and the faint chirping of cicadas coming in from the window could not liven up the atmosphere between the two of them.

Tsukino couldn't help but speak:

"But speaking of which, Takagi-kun, what should I do next?"

Although Chizuru Amemiya still misses Yuichi Hoshino, what Takagi Daisan taught him to do allowed Squad Leader Amemiya to stand in front of him, giving him more opportunities for contact.

So in order to expose more of Hoshino-senpai's true nature, he placed all his hopes on Takashiro Daisan. He believed that as long as he did enough, he could expose Hoshino-senpai's true nature to everyone...

By then, perhaps it would be a luxury for them to be together, and Class Leader Amamiya would no longer be so obsessed.

Thinking of this, Tsukino looked towards Takagi with eyes almost overflowing with anticipation.

"The school will not let this matter ferment freely. In order to give an explanation to teachers and students, Hoshino Yuichi will definitely be pulled out to apologize or be criticized."

Gao Cheng Da Shan pondered it carefully, twisting the spoon and teasing the green raisins on the sundae.

His words came to an abrupt end, leaving Tsukino with a sense of anticipation. He couldn't wait to ask:

"And then? That's it?"

Gao Cheng's spoon was inserted into the hard sundae, and it fell onto the edge of the cup with a crisp sound:

"That blurry video only goes so far. There is no clear evidence that he committed violence."

He lay back, feeling a little regretful:

"Although his reputation can be damaged, he doesn't have many friends, so this is all we can do for now."

"Can't I just hold on until he abuses me?" Tsukino asked unwillingly.

Gao Cheng Da Shan sneered and asked back:

"Who can prove that he was violent? You? Or your injuries? You said that Amemiya hasn't completely given up on Hoshino, so when you blame all the scars on Hoshino, Amemiya will probably reveal your thoughts."

"When the time comes..." He raised his eyebrows and looked:

"You can only turn Murakami Aiko and the others over. In public, you can indeed punish those who bullied you and Amamiya, but... relatively speaking."

"You will also be charged with the crime of intentionally pushing the mistakes of others onto innocent people. What will others think then? That Tsukino blamed the injury he suffered from others on Hoshino Yuichi because the person he liked was taken away. Of course, others may pity you for being bullied and not say anything about you, but you can't say it behind your back."

Gao Cheng Da Shan laughed and asked:

"So you make your own choice. Do you really intend to save your squad leader Amamiya by self-destructing like this?"

As if he found it interesting, he added: "If you do this, Chizuru Amamiya will be rescued, and you can be an unknown hero who swallows all the pain and suffering yourself. However...it is not impossible that your squad leader Amamiya may come back to find you because you saved her."

At the end, Gao Cheng Da Shan couldn't help but laugh softly. His laughter was harsh and sharp, but it went straight into Yue Ye's heart. He had to listen...

160. You and I are on the same side, Tsukino-kun

Tsukino had no appetite to eat, even though the omelette rice tasted much better than the one he made, he couldn't swallow it because of Takagi's frivolous laughter.

I thought I had gained a huge advantage and could defeat Senior Hoshino in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that I had simply tarnished his reputation...

For a moment, Tsukino's original plan that seemed wise to Takagi Daiyama seemed crude and useless.

That’s it…?

But Takagi-kun was swaying and looked very relaxed, so he must have other ideas or plans, right?

Tsukino tugged at his collar, as if he was made hot and uncomfortable by the smile that was mixed with a hint of contempt just now. Even the air conditioning in the store could not calm him down.

"Then...Takagi-kun, what should I do?"

Seeing Tsukino's blushing face smiling, Takagi Daisan curled the corners of his mouth as expected. Although it was the same smile, the atmosphere it brought was completely opposite.

In fact, Tsukino had another choice, which was to take advantage of the opportunity and venue of a public apology, without waiting for Hoshino Yuichi's apology, to directly expose the culprit who bullied him and Amamiya Chizuru in front of all the teachers and students in the school.

He used everything he did as a stepping stone to make others think that this was an opportunity created by Tsukino to save Chizuru Amamiya. He laid the facts of bullying in front of the school, and the school must respond.

Even if there is no video or audio evidence, the injuries on Tsukino and Chizuru Amamiya are the best proof.

As long as the school makes the direction of the investigation clear, there will always be students who are dissatisfied with the actions of Murakami Aiko and others and speak out. If they conduct a deeper investigation into them, the ugly things they have done since the beginning of the school year will be revealed.

Finally, he apologized to Hoshino Yuu and said something high-sounding like he had to use the word "senpai" to get out of the situation, and he successfully extricated himself from the matter.

Then he will become the true hero of Chizuru Amamiya...

This is the most ideal result if Hoshino Yuichi does not take any action, but Takagi Daishan knows that Tsukino's character of only clinging to others is destined not to let him have too many ideas.

He intentionally or unintentionally led Tsukino away from the correct answer. What Takashiro Daisan did was basically to make things difficult for Hoshino Yuichi. He finally got a chance, so how could he let it slip through his fingers?

I will not give dowry to the waste in front of me.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile with his eyes narrowed, his eyebrows revealing an indelible cunning:

"Tsukino-kun, you have to know that our weakness lies in Chizuru Amamiya's unsteady stance."

"Because of Class Leader Amamiya?" Tsukino was a little surprised.

"Right..." Gao Cheng smiled without showing his teeth: "As long as you get Chizuru Amamiya to stand on your side, and use this video, you can further exaggerate the facts and even fabricate lies. There are only three people involved in this matter, and you are the only one who participated in it. Hoshino Yuichi is isolated and helpless and can't defend himself."

"Then Hoshino will have to produce proof that he has never bullied you. Lies that cannot be exposed are the reality, so you and I are on the same side, and our goals are the same."

"It's all about changing Chizuru Amamiya's mind. That's what you're going to do next."

Takagi came forward, patted Tsukino's shoulder, and smiled warmly.

Tsukino's mood seemed to be aroused by his smile and his words, and he asked repeatedly:

"Then...then what should I do to change Captain Amamiya's mind?"

As a tool, Tsukino is undoubtedly obedient and useful.

"First, you need to accept Hoshino's apology and make everyone, especially Amamiya Chizuru, believe that this matter was Hoshino Yuichi's fault. This way, when Amamiya wants to find Hoshino in the future, her behavior will be criticized, and her unwavering heart will ferment. Under all kinds of rumors, she will also subtly move closer to others."

Tsukino nodded, not quite understanding. "Then how long will it take Takagi-kun to complete the last step? Isn't there a faster way?"

He was a little impatient. Although it wasn't that he didn't trust Takagi Daisan, his heart that was burning with fire urgently needed firewood, and he wanted to get closer to Chizuru Amamiya.

Tsukino simply couldn't calm down. It would definitely take a very long time to complete what Takagi said, which would be enough time for too many accidents to happen, which would affect his eagerness to succeed.

I thought I would be able to be with Class Leader Amamiya soon... Takagi-kun is not omnipotent...

He comforted himself in this way, and the thoughts in his mind were blown away by the hot flames.

Gao Cheng Da Shan's smile turned cold, and his narrowed eyes revealed a narrow gap, and his words were full of mockery:

"Besides this, can you possibly win over Hoshino? Do you have enough charisma to snatch Amemiya from him?"

"No……"

Takagi's words overwhelmed Tsukino so much that he couldn't raise his head. He fell silent, but his heart did not.

The tenacious flame catalyzed the anxiety and desire in his heart, and quietly complained about the inability of Gaocheng Dashan to help him as expected.

……

……

The campus under the night sky is embraced by the evening breeze, appearing quiet and peaceful as if it is in a deep sleep.

When Yuichi came out of the office, day had already turned into night. As Kasumigaoka Utaha wished, he had been riding his bicycle to take her to and from school recently.

After crossing a green area, Youyi came to the carport. There was only a bicycle standing on the side of the empty carport, casting a lonely shadow under the watery moonlight. The evening breeze lowered its head and strolled freely under the carport.

"It's really late..."

Youyi turned around and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha leaning against the fence. Her face was so beautiful that it seemed a little dreamy under the moonlight.

"Didn't I send you a LINE message asking you to go back first?" Youyi walked to the bicycle and unlocked it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had no intention of answering this question. She sat in the back seat of the car after a few clicks, stuck her head out, and looked at Yuichi:

"What did the teacher say to you?"

You glanced at her, took the schoolbag from her shoulders, and put it in the basket in front of the car together with his own:

"What can I say? All I can do is ask the student who was pushed down and I to apologize."

"Even if it's not your fault?" The slightly cool black hair fell on Youyi's hand that was holding the car seat.

"It's my fault. I pushed him so it's my fault. That's the point of this video."

Youyi sat on the bike and took the first, most strenuous step.
