I have a lot of green plums

After experiencing the same thing, she could already imagine what kind of looks and gossip she would face when she returned to class after the vacation.

After all, this kind of thing is completely unacceptable and incomprehensible to most people, so those who like these things are also considered freaks in the eyes of others.

The girl's vision gradually blurred. She couldn't muster the courage to face the classmates she met by chance, nor could she suppress the trembling in her heart.

"It seems to be H's book..."

Please, if you know this, please don't say it out loud...

"Uh... So Sawamura-san likes this kind of thing?"

As expected, anyone who saw it would say something like that. Then there would be ridicule, and soon it would spread throughout the class, and then throughout the school.

She no longer had any place to stand.

I'm sorry, Mom, I may disappoint her again. The desirable school life may not be suitable for her. The only place she should be is home. She should stay in her shell forever like a turtle.

And...that girl...I joined his club and promised to help him complete his project, but she broke her promise right after we started.

I'm really sorry.

"No, it's me..."

Chiyo, who was a beat slow, finally remembered to make amends after hearing what the other party said. She wanted to lie and say that this was hers.

But before she could say the last few words, Eriri suddenly spoke.

"That's enough, Chiyo-san." She suppressed the trembling in her heart, clenched her palms tightly, and tried not to look at the classmates beside her.

"give me back."

Because I have decided not to go to school anymore and I don’t want to get hurt again, so it doesn’t matter even if I admit it this time.

As long as she can't hear or see, no matter what kind of rumors they are, they can't hurt her.

But she was still very sad. She was not strong at all and wanted to escape to a place where no one was and cry loudly.

She didn't want to go back to her previous situation. She didn't know when it started, but she would look forward to the next day every night when she went home, and leave home with a smile every morning.

She actually began to like going to school and the feeling of having someone to laugh and play with her. It was much better than staying at home alone.

Life alone is always so lonely and hard, she never wants to go back to the past.

Therefore, she actually hoped that someone could come forward to save her at this moment. If someone could save her, she would definitely thank the person.

The expectation in our hearts is just expectation after all, it can never become a reality.

Therefore, she could only face the fate that was about to befall her.

I really can't accept this, oooh... I can't hold back my tears.

"Sawamura-kun."

"give me back."

Ying Lili held back her tears and stretched out her hand to grab the thing in the other person's hand. However, just as her hand was about to touch it, another hand snatched it away first.

"You should give it back to me."

Only then did she hear the boy's familiar voice.

"..."

"Really? Why did you throw away my book? Is it just because I am underage?"

Eriri didn't know what to say. The boy's sudden appearance was something she had not expected, and her heart beat wildly the moment she heard his voice.

She didn't know why she reacted like that. Maybe it was just because she met her only friend when she was most helpless.

He was a very reliable person, and he could do that kind of thing for the person he liked in school. But this reliability did not belong to her, because she was not the person he liked, and she also forbade him to like her.

However, she couldn't help but her heart began to beat violently.

Maybe she was actually longing for something, maybe deep down she also wanted someone who would risk his life to protect her.

Ying Lili turned her head and saw the boy holding an obscene book in his hand, looking at her with some resentment.

"After all, I paid for this thing. If you want to throw it away, at least wait until I have finished reading it."

"..."

"No, it's me..."

"Yes, yes. I know you're doing this for my friend's sake, but I really need this."

Why would I go to such lengths for her? It's obvious that if I do this I'll be subject to rumors and will have trouble moving forward in the class.

They were obviously just ordinary friends, and he could have done nothing and pretended he saw nothing.

Obviously...all I need to do is keep silent.

She is indeed a big fool, but why does she feel a little happy at this moment?

Because this is the first time anyone is willing to stand up for her?

If that's the case, she can't let the other party bear a bad reputation.

"not me......"

The girl was about to speak, but the boy seemed to know what she wanted to say and interrupted her again.

Only this time it wasn't directed at her.

"I'm so sorry, Xiaolin, for letting you see such a bad thing."

"Hey, April, is this yours?"

The girl looked at the thing in Siyue Yuzhi's hand somewhat embarrassedly and asked stutteringly.

"Yes." Si Yueyuzhi nodded, pretending to be helpless, "You also know that adolescent boys really need this."

"Well......"

Hearing this, the girls present all blushed, as they knew what the boy meant.

"I, we understand."

"Thank you for your understanding." Si Yue Yuzhi thanked with a smile, then changed the subject and pointed the finger at the golden-haired girl.

"You guys are really much better than Sawamura-kun."

"Eh?!" The girls widened their eyes, not knowing why Si Yue Yu Zhi said that.

Si Yue Yu Zhi continued, "She really doesn't understand the pain of us boys at all. When she saw me holding this thing, she actually took it away and threw it away when I wasn't paying attention."

"This is my stuff, don't you think I should do this?"

"Yes, indeed, Sawamura shouldn't have thrown away April's things without permission." The girls couldn't find anything strange about it for a moment and could only nod in agreement.

The smile on April Yuzhi's face gradually deepened, "But I think Sawamura-san is probably doing this for my own good. After all, watching too much of this kind of thing is really harmful to your health."

"You understand too, right?"

"Uh, yeah." Several girls nodded blankly. This kind of conversation was too bold for them and they had no idea how to respond.

They just thought it was a little strange, but there was a hint of truth in the strangeness.

"So, can you please not tell anyone else about what happened today? Especially everyone in the class."

"..."

"If the boys in the class knew about this, they would definitely come to me for it. Then the class would become chaotic and everyone would be discussing Sese's affairs every day. If the school knew about this, our class would be punished and we would no longer be known as a civilized class."

If this matter happened to him, it would be no more than a sesame seed at most. Even if he told the whole school, it would not cause any waves.

But if it happens to a young girl, it is likely to turn into a silent violence.

The difference between boys and girls is so huge.

"I, we understand." Several girls nodded repeatedly. They did not understand how minor the consequence of this incident was. They only knew that the civilized class needed their protection.

"Thank you." Si Yue Yuzhi smiled and expressed her sincere gratitude.

After seeing off several girls from the same class, Siyue Yuzhi turned his attention back to Ying Lili and the other girl beside her.

It feels somewhat familiar.

A familiar feeling flashed through his heart, but Si Yue Yuzhi didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the people he didn't remember must not be important to him.

"What are you still standing there for? Go home."

Si Yueyuzhi took the things in his hand out of a plastic bag, wrapped them up, and handed them back to the girl. He didn't expect that he would meet this girl when he just came home and went out to buy something.

Ying Lili looked at the hand in front of her, and her already blurry eyes could no longer hold back the tears.

It turns out that there are people in this world other than family members who are willing to risk their lives for her.

He is right in front of him, and he is also his friend.

"why?"

Eriri asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, a voice that she would normally find embarrassing but now she didn't care at all.

"what why?"

Seeing that the boy didn't seem to understand, Eriri raised her head and asked with tearful eyes, "Uh...why are you helping me like this?"

"Huh?" Si Yueyu looked helpless, "Why are you asking such a stupid question?"

"Stupid, stupid..."

This guy showed no mercy even though she was crying. Under normal circumstances, she would have bitten him, but she couldn't do it now.

"Isn't that natural?"

Si Yue Yu Zhi's expression suddenly became serious. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the girl. When he saw that she didn't take it, he sighed and took the initiative to touch the girl's cheek. While wiping the girl's tears, he whispered, "We are friends after all."

"Friend..." Feeling the tenderness on her face, tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes again.

"Hey, bear with it."

Chapter 178: Collusion or Like-mindedness

What kind of relationship can be called friendship?

In the past, Eriri would always think about this question from time to time.

Are you considered friends if you have a pleasant conversation with each other after introducing yourself at the beginning of the school year? Are you considered friends if you are entangled with each other because of some kind of interests? Are you considered friends if you can share joys and sorrows and advance and retreat together?

She found many answers on the Internet, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find the answer that belonged to her.

There are too many definitions of friends in this world. Perhaps everyone has a different understanding of friends, and there is no one in this world who can understand her.

Even the young man in front of me is the same.

Because she was afraid that the other party would not understand, she never told him about her secret hobbies. Even their seemingly pleasant conversations only stayed at a very superficial level.

But from today on, all of this has become a thing of the past. The little secret buried in my heart has been known by the other party, and the imagined contempt did not appear on the boy's face.

Could she finally breathe a sigh of relief?

After sniffing, Ying Lili felt that she could finally let go of the burden on her shoulders, and her expression was not as tense as before.

But his face still looked a little embarrassed. After all, he had just broken down and cried because of something someone said.

"Does Sawamura-san like watching this kind of thing?"

On the way back, Si Yue Yuzhi looked at the things in his hand and sighed without raising his head.

"Why don't you give it back to me?"

"I was clearly going to return it to you, but you just didn't want it." Si Yue Yu Zhi said and turned another page.

It’s not that he has never come across such things that are not suitable for children. There are too many such traps on the Internet, and even he has fallen into them several times.

And precisely because he had read so much, he could read the contents of the book without changing his expression.

"Then you should return it to me now!"
