I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

"I...said...Tianyin, your smile...is so fake"

Chapter 314: The Poor Man Begging for Lies

Amane thought about what would happen if Karuizawa saw her after being bullied.

It is possible that Karuizawa would be afraid of being recognized in this embarrassing state and choose to cover her face and run away, or she might make a scene and complain that Tianyin came so late and caused her to be bullied so badly, or she might cry in her arms and tell Tianyin what kind of cruel torture she had experienced.

Tianyin also prepared soothing words accordingly, as if everything was being performed according to the script and she was just going through the motions here.

But Tianyin never expected that when Karuizawa saw her, he would actually tell her that her smile looked so fake.

Is it fake? Maybe a little, but it shouldn't be something that Karuizawa can see.

"Mei, what are you talking about? Do you want me to take you to rest first, hmm?"

Tianyin gently stroked Karuizawa's cheek.

The cold fingers relieved the pain on Karuizawa's red, swollen and hot cheeks.

Karuizawa grinned.

However, his smile was very ugly and his voice was hoarse and he couldn't make any sound.

“If… it were anyone else, they would definitely think that Tianyin, you’re just like a gentle older sister… But I’m different. The thing I’ve done most in my life is to please others, so I read other people’s faces better than anyone else. This, cough cough cough, this, cough cough… maybe this is my only advantage.”

Karuizawa lay quietly in Tianyin's arms, looking up at that perfect face. In her eyes, Tianyin was just wearing a mask of "goodness" at this moment.

People's expressions can be disguised, but there is one thing that cannot be disguised, and that is the eyes. Tianyin looked at her as if he was checking the quality of fruit.

There is no mercy or sympathy.

"I didn't expect that Hui would find out like this, but you really don't learn your lesson. Since you said that you are best at observing people's expressions, you should know that exposing me at this time will not do you any good, right?"

Tianyin pinched Karuizawa's cheek, and the pain brought Karuizawa back to reality in an instant.

That's right, the best option just now was to pretend to be blind. She only needed to lie there and accept Tianyin's kindness. Why did she say such a thing? Trust? Or...

Accept fate?

Karuizawa didn't know why she was so bold and arrogant to expose someone's disguise. Would it benefit her to expose it? No, if Tianyin continued Manabe's violence, she could only hold her head and take another beating. Resist? Impossible, resistance would only lead to more violent retaliation. She just needed to cover her mouth and endure it...

"What are you going to do next? Do you need me to help you get back at Manabe? Just like she did to you?"

Seeing that Karuizawa fell into silence, Tianyin brought the topic to Manabe. When Manabe was mentioned, Karuizawa gritted her teeth in hatred, but her expression eased after a few seconds.

"Tianyin, why do you appear here by chance?"

Karuizawa asked a fatal question.

If Tianyin wanted to lie at this time, any lie would sound extremely unreliable.

Because the time difference was so short, it was only about two minutes from the time Manabe left to the time Tianyin came in.

This amount of time was not enough for Manabe to even walk to the elevator entrance, and there was only one elevator here.

If we analyze it according to common sense, if Tianyin had just come down, he would definitely run into Manabe and others.

Tianyin was also very aware of the dispute between Karuizawa and Morofuji. When she saw Manabe and a few others coming out of the place where she and Karuizawa had agreed to meet, talking and laughing, wouldn't Tianyin have any associations?

If it were someone else, they might think it was a coincidence, but Amane would definitely realize that Karuizawa had been bullied. If Amane was on her side, would she really remain indifferent after running into Manabe?

When all these questions come together, the result becomes obvious.

There are only two possibilities left. One is that Tianyin deliberately uses Manabe to suppress his arrogance. If this is the case, Karuizawa feels that although it is difficult for him to accept it, he can still barely understand it.

After all, she knew that she often caused trouble for Tianyin, and she knew better than anyone else what she looked like when she was in disguise.

And another possibility is... Tianyin is the mastermind behind this performance.

Everyone, whether she who was bullied or Manabe who was the bully, were just dancing clowns on Amane's fingertips.

"Are you doubting me?"

Tianyin's tone became cold, but his eyes became warm.

She hadn't felt so happy in a long time. The toy she chose actually had an unexpected side.

For a moment, Tianyin felt reluctant to let Karuizawa become her toy, but then she thought that Karuizawa's value to her ended here. From now on, she would play almost no role except satisfying Tianyin's fun. Instead of making a decision between abandoning or not abandoning in the end, it would be better to find her position right from the beginning.

"Actually... Tianyin, you are the one who is controlling all this behind the scenes, right?"

In the dark night, Karuizawa's words were like a stone thrown into the water, creating ripples.

"Why do you think so? Did Manabe say anything to you?"

Tianyin still hugged Karuizawa gently and talked to Karuizawa in a gentle tone.

"She didn't say anything. Tianyin, can you tell me the answer to this question?"

Karuizawa raised his head and looked at Tianyin with expectant eyes and hope.

At this moment Tianyin finally understood the meaning of Karuizawa's words.

Although she expressed her deepest doubts, she essentially just hoped to be deceived. Having been physically injured, she did not want to be hurt mentally again.

She is escaping.

In order to escape the cruel reality, she already knew that it was most likely Tianyin who deliberately asked Manabe to teach her a lesson, but she still hoped that Tianyin could lie to her and say that these things had nothing to do with her.

In this way, she can enjoy Tianyin's tenderness with peace of mind.

She still struggles with anxiety, fear and despair.

All she needed was a lie.

A lie to comfort herself.

Seeing Tianyin's silence, Karuizawa became anxious instead.

"Amane, why... aren't you talking? You're sure you wouldn't let Manabe do this to me, right? Please, just say something casually, I'll believe you, I'm willing to believe whatever you say, please... tell me you have nothing to do with them, okay?"

Karuizawa hugged Tianyin, and his eyes changed from expectation to begging.

Tianyin gently brushed Karuizawa's messy long hair behind her ears.

Then he whispered in her ear.

“I asked them to do this.”

Click.

It seemed like a cracking sound.

Chapter 315: How about being my woman?

“W-why? Tianyin, why are you doing this? You clearly know…you know that I will believe you even if you tell a lie, why…”

Tears once again flowed from Karuizawa's eyes, which had already dried up from crying.

Tianyin patted Karuizawa's back gently, trying to calm her down a little so that she wouldn't be too sad and develop any mental problems.

If Karuizawa suffers any mental trauma, then...

It's not perfect.

"Do you feel better after crying?"

Karuizawa nodded with tears in her eyes.

"I feel better now. Now that I'm used to crying, I don't feel as sad when I cry."

Karuizawa got up from Tianyin's arms and slowly stood up, holding on to the wall behind him.

Then he leaned against the wall and managed to stand.

Zhu Teng stepped on Karuizawa's legs several times, and now Karuizawa's legs are still shaking.

Karuizawa stood up and did not ask Tianyin why she wanted someone to beat her up.

Does being bullied require a reason?

If I had to give a reason...

Does it count as dislike? She had been beaten a lot because of others' dislike before, not to mention that she pretended to be a megalomaniac, so being beaten was a normal thing.

She was worried about only one thing now.

"Tianyin, can you... not tell anyone about that? If you're still not satisfied, you can treat me however you want, but please... don't, don't tell anyone about that."

Of course, Karuizawa was not referring to the beating she had received this time. Tianyin thought about it and immediately realized that Karuizawa wanted Tianyin to keep the news of her having been bullied a secret.

"Why are you afraid that this matter will be told to others? In my opinion, being bullied before is a plus for you, right? If you disclose this incident of being bullied, many people will sympathize with you."

Tianyin was a little curious about what Karuizawa cared about.

This time, Manabe and Moroto went too far in the bullying. As long as Karuizawa appears in front of the teacher, there is no doubt that the bullying will be exposed immediately, and none of Manabe and the others will be able to escape.

It can be said that Karuizawa is holding the absolute trump card in her hand at this moment, but why is she still brooding over those old events?

"If you tell others... they will laugh at you."

Karuizawa gritted his teeth and said something confusing.

joke?

Would this be laughed at? If the other party was outnumbered and got beaten, would anyone really laugh at the person being beaten because he was too weak and deserved to be beaten? If there really was such a person, Tianyin wouldn't mind letting her experience the feeling of being bullied.

Just when Tianyin was about to speak, he discovered something wrong.

Karuizawa is afraid that what happened before will be exposed and she will be laughed at. In other words... is she worried that the strong image she has created now will be ruined?

At the beginning of the school year, Karuizawa quickly established her position in the class with the help of Hirata's girlfriend, and then became the core of the girls' group with her decisiveness and strong personality. She has been playing the image of a strong queen to maintain her false status in the girls' group.

To put it simply, he took advantage of Hirata's popularity and prestige to package himself as a strong person, and then used other people's admiration for the strong to make people around him gather around him.

Then use this kind of popularity to boost her prestige.

When others see a large group of people following Karuizawa, they will naturally feel intimidated.

This is why even Manabe doesn't dare to provoke Karuizawa when they have more people than him.

People who follow Karuizawa think that she can conquer a boy like Hirata, and since she has such a strong personality, she must have her own ways, so they follow Karuizawa.

Those who hate Karuizawa don't dare to do anything to her because of her reputation and Hirata behind her.

In this way, Karuizawa lived a comfortable life in Class D. Just when she thought she was completely away from bullying, Manabe awakened her nightmare.

What a poor guy.

"Do you still plan to count on Hirata to protect you?"

Tianyin's straightforward question made Karuizawa a little overwhelmed.

"If Hirata-san were here, he would definitely help me..."

"He's gentle to everyone, isn't he? Not to mention that you're just a fake couple."

Tianyin mercilessly exposed Karuizawa's last fig leaf.

"Did Hirata tell you all this?"

Karuizawa couldn't believe that someone like Hirata would tell Amane the secret he promised to keep.

"Of course, otherwise how would I know everything about you? You were bullied all the time from elementary school to junior high school, and it's a relief that you were able to persevere. So you came here and pretended to be strong and not easy to bully, right?"

Tianyin's words are absolutely correct.

Karuizawa lowered her head and said nothing. Everything about her was exposed in front of Tianyin. Karuizawa had no intention of resisting, and of course she had no power to resist.

She had no idea what to do, and Manabe's beating on her hurt a lot.

But she knew that as long as she kept silent and endured it, like a corpse without giving any feedback to the other party, the bully would naturally leave because he felt bored.

They bully for fun, not to kill.

There's no need to waste any energy on Karuizawa who's pretending to be dead.

But she had no idea what to do when faced with Tianyin's gentle voice.

Playing the emotional card, Tianyin watched coldly, trying to show her value in pleasing others, but Tianyin pointed out her thoughts.

All of her leverage was in Tianyin's hands, so she could only sit there and wait for death. She had no other choice but to accept it.

"If I didn't do that... I would have been bullied like I am now, so I..."
