Ichinose looked up and gave a wry smile. "Whether it was for my own good or something else, I can still tell. Besides... Hikigaya-kun, you were right to scold me. If it weren't for Yukinoshita-san and Horikita-san, I might have been suspended from school in the dormitory right now."

When he thought of this, Ichinose couldn't help but blame himself.

"Ichinose, you've been making a mistake since the beginning!"

Hikigaya looked at Ichinose's face full of self-blame and felt inexplicably irritated and angry. "Do you think you should also 'suspend your studies' to justify Horikita's sacrifice? Do you think it's a sin to be safe and sound? Don't you think this idea is arrogant?"

"Why are you always thinking about yourself? You're just using this self-harming method to tell others that 'I'm hurt too' and that I share the same hardships as everyone else. Does that make your conscience feel better?"

Hikigaya bluntly points out Ichinose's real inner struggle: "You're not sad or blaming yourself because of other people. You're just doing it for yourself, so you use other people as an excuse for 'psychological comfort'!"

From the beginning to the end, you just wanted others to tell you, "Ichinose, you've done a good job," "Ichinose, this has nothing to do with you," these words to fill the emptiness in your heart. If you really felt guilty about this matter and wanted to change, you wouldn't keep dwelling on it. Instead, you would learn from it and move on, instead of crying like this. Are you deliberately putting it on for me to pity you?

Hikigaya's words were like the cold wind in June, full of coldness and bitingness, ravaging the pink-haired girl's delicate body to pieces!

"Don't, don't say anymore, yes, I'm sorry."

Ichinose couldn't help but cover her face. It seemed that Hikigaya's words had indeed hit this cheerful and optimistic girl hard.

Hikigaya seemed deaf to Ichinose's words, and oblivious to the girl's painful cries. He gazed at the distant, sunlit landscape, and spoke, as if to Ichinose, but also to himself: "Hearing words like these, do you feel 'a little better'? But what good is that? You'll make the same mistake again next time. What have you finally understood?"

"Yesterday's events are over, but you're still living in yesterday. Living in the past, you can't see any future at all. It's such a pity that Class B has a leader like you who can't see the future!"

The boy with dead eyes added silently in his heart that he used to be the same.

"me……"

Ichinose pursed her lips tightly. Hikigaya's words were like sharp needles piercing her body. It was very painful, but this pain unexpectedly made Ichinose feel "real"!

The more painful it was, the more Ichinose felt a sense of "reality" from the inside out, as if only in this way could he see the "true face" of his heart.

"You damned fellow, what are you doing to Xiao Fanbo!"

Suddenly, a girl with short brown hair appeared out of nowhere, protecting Ichinose behind her like an old hen, staring at Hikigaya with an angry look on her face!

Chapter 150 Am I a bad woman?

"Chihiro-chan?"

Ichinose was also startled by the sudden appearance of Shiranami Chihiro.

"It's okay, Xiao Fanbo, I, I will protect you!"

Chihiro Shiranami turned around and tried her best to squeeze out words of comfort to Ichinose, but her trembling little body betrayed her true feelings. However, even so, Chihiro Shiranami still stood beside Ichinose and did not give in at all.

"I, I know you. You are Hikigaya from the Student Council. I, I am warning you, you are not allowed to bully Honoka. Otherwise..."

Even though those dead fish eyes were so scary, in order to protect the important person behind her, Shiraha Chihiro still bit the bullet and shouted: "No, otherwise... I will tell the teacher!"

Hikigaya: "..."

Isn't this girl too... straightforward?!

There's a kind of high school innocence.

Although Hikigaya had never dealt with the girl in front of him, he recognized her as Chihiro Shiranami from Class B, the girl who was always inseparable from Ichinose.

"You, you are not allowed to laugh! I, I am serious, I will really tell the teacher!"

Shiranami Chihiro's face turned red. She saw clearly the fleeting smile on Hikigaya's lips just now, and naturally understood what it meant.

And it’s really not her fault. The dead fish eyes of the boy opposite would be scary to anyone who sees them!

This time, laughter came from behind Shiranami Chihiro. Ichinose was still in shock, but after hearing what Shiranami Chihiro said, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xiao, Xiao Fanbo, how come even you..."

Bai Bo Chihiro's eyes widened, her little face suddenly filled with grievance, and she stomped her feet in annoyance.

"Okay, okay, Chihiro-chan, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Ichinose reached out and hugged Shiranami Chihiro, comforting her: "You misunderstood. Hikigaya-kun is not bullying me."

Wrapped in Ichinose's soft body, Shiranami Chihiro's face instantly looked like melted marshmallow, but she quickly recovered and reluctantly broke free from Ichinose's arms.

"Xiao Fanbo is so kind and gentle!"

Bai Bo Qianxun frowned and complained, "So even when you're being bullied, you just silently admit it. I saw it all clearly. This guy was bullying you. I even saw you crying because of him scolding you!"

Ichinose blushed upon hearing this, and quickly wiped the tears from her face, explaining: "Chihiro, things are really not what you think. Hikigaya-kun was just comforting..."

"Little Fanbo!"

Shiranami Chihiro couldn't help but feel angry when she heard Ichinose trying to explain herself. She grabbed Ichinose's wrist tightly and said, "Everyone knows what happened yesterday. We're all worried about you. You really shouldn't have helped those ungrateful people in Class D in the first place! That guy named Ayanokouji even lied to you and took advantage of you. He almost got you punished by the school!"

After saying that, Shiranami Chihiro stared at Hikigaya with an angry look on her face. Ichinose blinked, then finally reacted and hurriedly asked Shiranami Chihiro what was going on.

Chihiro Shiranami had no choice but to explain to Ichinose. Simply put, everyone in Class B already knew about the violation that happened in the special teaching building yesterday, and Ichinose, as the leader of Class B, was also involved. The mastermind behind all this was a student from Class D, a guy named Ayanokouji who came out of nowhere and designed a trap!

Not only did he take advantage of Ichinose, but he also deceived the students in his own class, which ultimately led to several people being suspended from school!

"Everyone in the class is feeling indignant about something. Those guys in Class D are really going too far. They're simply repaying kindness with enmity. I'm really worried about your situation, so I came out to find you."

Shiranami Chihiro glared at Hikigaya across from her: "Then I saw you, Honoka, being bullied by Hikigaya from Class D until you were crying."

"I, I'm not crying! Chihiro, what are you talking about!"

When Ichinose heard Shiranami Chihiro call her a crybaby, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She was no longer a child, so she quickly defended herself: "I, I just had sand in my eye!"

After hearing the conversation between the two girls, Hikigaya couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then, the next second, Ichinose and Shiranami Chihiro both turned around and their faces froze.

Hikigaya: "..."

"Anyway, Chihiro, you misunderstood. Things are not what you think."

Whether it was yesterday or just now, the words Hikigaya said were all very "unpleasant" to Ichinose, and could even be said to be insulting. Ichinose knew that he should be angry and want to refute, but every time the words came to his lips, he always found it difficult to open his mouth. Ichinose didn't even know why, he didn't feel angry or furious at all.

Is it... because I am just like what Hikigaya said, am I really such a bad bad woman?

Hikigaya's accusations and insults actually made Ichinose feel like he could slowly see into his own heart and recognize what kind of person he really is.

Because she found that the boy in front of her seemed to understand her better than herself.

"Xiao, Xiao Fanbo, he clearly bullied you, why are you still helping him..."

Shiranami Chihiro looked at Ichinose in disbelief, and then her face turned extremely pale: "Could it be that you, you like..."

Before Shiranami Chihiro could finish her words, Ichinose quickly covered her mouth. It was obviously just a suspicion, but Ichinose's sudden action made Shiranami Chihiro even more shocked!

After seeing Shiranami Chihiro's shocked eyes, Ichinose immediately realized that his reaction just now was a bit extreme, and quickly apologized: "Chihiro, you, what are you thinking! I, I don't have that kind of thought about Hikigaya-kun at all. I, I just, ah, anyway, I don't know how to explain it to you, anyway, it's not what you think!"

Speaking of the latter part, Ichinose seemed a little annoyed. At the same time, he secretly glanced at someone out of the corner of his eye. When he found that the other person seemed to have no reaction at all, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

"Really?"

It was obvious that Shiranami Chihiro still didn't quite believe it, so Ichinose had to grab her little hand and talk her into it, finally dispelling her suspicion.

"However, Xiao Fanbo, you still can't get too close to the guys in Class D. We never know when they'll stab us in the back!"

Shiranami Chihiro turned around and gave Hikigaya a 'fierce, fierce' expression, as if to say that you are not allowed to bully my little Fanbo again.

Hikigaya ignored Chihiro Shiranami's vicious look and looked at Ichinose behind her: "This world has never been gentle, so just don't get too close to me!"

After saying that, Hikigaya took the packaging garbage off the stool and turned to leave.

151

Chapter 151: Class D suffers.

After leaving the courtyard, Hikigaya didn't pay much attention to what happened between Ichinose and Shiranami Chihiro.

"It seems that Kushida is quite quick."

Hikigaya muttered to himself.

When he returned to the classroom, the faces of the students in Class D were obviously more gloomy and uneasy, and the atmosphere in the class could clearly feel an inexplicable depression.

"It's all Ayanokouji's fault, and those idiots Ike and Yamauchi. Now all the students in Class B are hostile to us because of what happened to Ichinose yesterday, who was deceived and bullied!"

Soon some girls couldn't help but start complaining about what they had just experienced in the cafeteria.

They were in trouble with the students from Class B!

Then other girls and boys also said that they had encountered similar situations.

What happened in the Special Teaching Building yesterday has spread throughout Class B. No one actually cares about the process and outcome of this violation. The students in Class B are only concerned about one thing, which is that Ichinose was deliberately deceived and used by the students in Class D. She even almost received a suspension from the school because of this incident!

It is for this reason that most of the students in Class B exploded. We in Class B have been helping Class D without asking for anything in return, and Ichinose even did it personally, sparing no effort. And this is how you, Class D, "repay" us?

He deceived and took advantage of the kind-hearted Ichinose, and even nearly got Ichinose suspended from school!

How could someone repay kindness with enmity like this?

The students in Class D are so hateful and despicable!

The main culprit was none other than Ayanokouji, and some guy called Ike and Yamauchi. It could be said that all the students in Class B were really angry at this moment.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the corridor. It turned out that the boys and girls from Class B came to Class D angrily and questioned them loudly. The students in Class D looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a while, because Class D was in the wrong in this matter. Not only did they have no confidence, they also felt ashamed and could not raise their heads at all.

Because of this incident, they were criticized by Class B, and people would talk about them and point fingers at them behind their backs whenever they walked outside.

"It's clearly the fault of Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and the others, why should we bear their responsibility?"

In the girls' group, Shinohara was the first to express her dissatisfaction, and then Yukimura and other boys did the same, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction!

"And then there's that Sudo guy. Half of the class points we worked so hard to accumulate last month have been deducted. And then Ayanokouji, that idiot Yamauchi has been suspended for a surveillance violation. It goes without saying that the few remaining class points this month will also be deducted. Damn it, why do we have to involve these troublesome students!"

Right now, many students in Class D have also begun to explode, not only towards Sudou, but also towards the instigator Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and others, who openly expressed their dislike and criticism. As for Horikita, everyone instead has more sympathy for her, as she was obviously fighting for class points but was betrayed by these stupid teammates!

Fortunately, after receiving the news, Hirata and Kushida rushed back from outside in time to calm the emotions of everyone in the class, and also apologized to the students in Class B outside.

Perhaps because Hirata and Kushida were very popular in their grade and had helped many people, the students in Class B who were causing trouble did not say anything bad to them. At this time, Ichinose, who received the news, also hurried over, and finally, under Ichinose's persuasion, the students in Class B left in disappointment.

Soon, the news of this incident spread rapidly among the first graders. As one of the most popular girls in the grade, Ichinose's experience immediately caused many students to be dissatisfied with Class D, especially Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and others who were the instigators!

The good news is that Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and others who were on suspension did not get any trouble from the students in Class B.

The bad news is that other students in Class D are suffering.

The students in Class D were implicated in this incident and could not hold their heads up high on campus. They had to endure the ridicule of other students from time to time. It was clearly the fault of Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and others, but they had to pay for them. Therefore, the students in Class D were even more disgusted with Ayanokouji, Yamauchi and others.

……

"Now you are satisfied."

In the evening, in the school cafeteria, Hikigaya ordered a set meal of pork cutlet rice and found a secluded seat to sit down. Then, Kushida also took a bowl of eel rice and sat down directly.

Hikigaya looked around and then fixed his gaze on Kushida across from him, as if to say, "Is it okay to eat with me?"

Kushida rolled his eyes at Hikigaya and said unhappily, "Thanks to you, no one wants to be with the students in Class D right now."

Hikigaya naturally heard Kushida's sarcasm, but he didn't take it too seriously. After several contacts and transactions with Kushida, he gradually understood the true face of this little angel in private: a typical girl who would only respond to tough situations and was very stubborn.

"This incident will only be over in a few days at most, and it won't have much impact on you or Hirata."

Hikigaya took one look at Kushida's expensive eel rice, then looked back at the cheap fried pork cutlet on his own plate and suddenly lost his appetite.

Kushida naturally noticed Hikigaya's gaze and envious expression, and suddenly felt extra comfortable. It feels great to spend other people's money!

However, when he thought about how everything that happened yesterday afternoon was orchestrated by Hikigaya on the opposite side, Kushida still felt a little scared.

Through the clues found during this period and the actions instructed by the other party, Kushida has roughly restored Hikigaya's methods in this incident. The more she understands, the more shocked and scared she is about the methods used by Hikigaya in this incident!

In this incident of illegal surveillance, Hikigaya clearly targeted Ayanokouji on purpose, but except for Ayanokouji himself, no one else seemed to notice it at all. They only thought that Hikigaya targeted Ayanokouji only to save Horikita and had to let Ayanokouji take the blame.

Hikigaya 'openly' let Ayanokouji take the blame, but the others not only did not notice anything unusual, but instead thought it was the only way at the time.

If Kushida had not been aware of a certain link at the time, he might have been deceived!

It was very clear from what happened yesterday how grateful Hirata was to Hikigaya. Not only did Hirata not blame Hikigaya for letting Ayanokouji take the blame, but he was very grateful to Hikigaya for "saving" everyone. Although the final result was still not very good, it was much better than being expelled.

And... when Kushida thought back on what Hirata said and did at the meeting yesterday, he realized something was wrong. It seemed like a script that he and Hikigaya had prepared in advance!

The cooperation between the two is really 'in harmony'!

That is to say, in yesterday's meeting, not only himself but also Hirata were Hikigaya's people. Maybe there were other Hikigaya's "insiders" besides himself and Hirata!
