I have a lot of green plums

Ying Lili puffed up her little face and stared with her still red eyes. She didn't look very fierce, but rather pitiful, making people want to ravage her.

"Anyway, it's really surprising."

Si Yue Yuzhi closed the book, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and handed it to the girl beside him calmly. This sentence also made Ying Lili, who had been slightly relaxed, feel choked up, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Why would it surprise you that I'm watching this?"

"Because in my eyes, Sawamura-san is the kind of girl who is graceful, well-mannered, and has the temperament of a noble lady."

"Well, sometimes I say one thing and mean another."

Ying Lili bit her lip. What the boy said was just appearance, the face she showed to outsiders. Even this boy had never seen the real her.

"Do I disappoint you, then?"

The image she has maintained for a long time has become the inherent impression of her in the young man's mind. Now her current appearance can be considered a collapse of reputation.

"Why should I feel disappointed?" Si Yue Yuzhi asked back curiously, and the girl's expression actually told him the answer.

"Because..." Ying Lili moved her lips, but didn't know where to start.

"You won't be disappointed." Si Yue Yuzhi sighed and consoled him, "After all, it's normal to watch this kind of thing."

"I've actually seen quite a few of them, too. So we're kindred spirits."

Like-minded... When Eriri heard the boy say that he had seen a lot of this kind of thing just like her, she finally felt that she and the boy were on the same level.

"Well, don't use such a serious word here."

As soon as she relaxed, Ying Lili couldn't help but complain.

April Yuzhi chuckled and said, "What about going along with the crowd?"

"Hmm..." This is a bit unpleasant to hear. It feels like they are doing something bad.

"Forget it, forget it, let's go back quickly."

Seeing the girl's conflicted look, Siyue Yuzhi waved his hand and walked towards the station again.

Ying Lili stayed where she was, watching the boy walking further and further away, and strangely she didn't feel afraid.

Some people also left her side, taking away her sunshine and plunging her life into eternal night, but the young man was like the Golden Crow, and wherever he passed, all the darkness faded away, illuminating the way forward for her.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

Holding the thing tightly in her arms, the girl started to jog, the low heels of her short boots clicking in a brisk rhythm, as loud and powerful as her heartbeat.

"Your legs are too short."

"Huh? You mean I'm short?"

"Um......

Most girls in Japan are petite, even some of the tall actresses are only about 170cm tall.”

"So there's no need for you to worry about this kind of thing, Sawamura-kun."

"You bastard, I'm going to bite you."

He said she was short and made it sound so righteous.

"Please don't do this, just this."

If there really were any marks on him, he would have no way to explain himself when he returned.

"Hehe, are you scared now?"

Ying Lili's expression suddenly became a little proud. She was so pessimistic not long ago, but now she can joke happily with her friends.

Seeing this scene, Si Yue Yuzhi couldn't help but wonder how things would have turned out if he hadn't stood up just now?

Will she still smile like she does now, showing her cute little fangs to threaten him? Or will she stay alone in a corner licking her wounds like a frustrated puppy?

He had seen with his own eyes how the sharp knife of rumors could easily kill a person's heart.

What would have become of those five girls if I hadn't stood up to protect them?

Si Yue Yuzhi didn't want to think about this, because as long as he thought about him not appearing in their world, his heart would feel very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, every choice he made so far has not made him regret. Maybe not every choice is correct, but they are definitely the most suitable answers.

Sometimes he himself couldn't understand why he could make those choices, when some of them clearly did not benefit him much and could even be considered stupid.

However, whenever he was faced with a choice, his body would often take action before he had time to think carefully, as if it was not his thoughts that were controlling his body, but something more illusory.

He felt it was his soul...

But, is there really such a thing as soul in this world?

Chapter 179 Reconciliation

"By the way, that girl is your friend, right?"

As they walked on the road, Siyue Yuzhi asked Yinglili curiously. He suddenly remembered that there was another cute girl next to the girl just now.

Of course, he was not envious of her appearance, he just felt that the girl was somewhat familiar.

Although he couldn't remember it at the moment, maybe he had seen it somewhere.

"..."

"Why are you asking this?" After a moment of silence, Ying Lili asked in a low voice.

"It just looks familiar to me." Si Yue Yu Zhi replied; "Of course, I'm sorry if I'm wrong."

He felt that his guess should not be wrong. When he first noticed the girl, she was pestering the girl next to her, and even reached out to grab her in the end.

At first he thought the girl was being bullied, but when he walked over he found that the girl was begging in her expression.

Therefore, this was not a case of bullying, but there must be some reason behind it. Otherwise, the girl would not have driven the girl away coldly when the matter was over, even though there was some hurt in her eyes.

Can it be solved?

Si Yue Yu Zhi thought to himself. He admitted that he was a bit nosy, but untying the knot was also part of his role as a girl's friend.

What's there to be sorry about... Eriri thought to herself. The boy's question did make her feel a little overwhelmed, but she wasn't desperate.

It's just that she might recall things from the past, which is a bit painful for her, but not unbearable.

If she couldn't bear it, she would have run away when she heard that familiar voice, instead of listening to her talk so much.

After all, no matter what, that incident happened so long ago, and even if it caused her great harm at the time, the wound has long since scabbed over.

Moreover, in the final analysis, she actually longed to face it in her heart, but she was a timid person who was afraid to move forward. She didn't dare to face the past alone. She wanted someone to hold her hand or someone to stay by her side.

This way, she could muster up the courage.

Ying Lili turned her head to look at the boy next to her and then quickly turned back. Perhaps she could finally liberate her inner self.

Ying Lili bit her lip and said softly: "She used to be my friend..."

丅 "Yeah." Si Yue Yu Zhi agreed silently, waiting for the girl to tell him her inner thoughts.

"We were classmates in junior high school. We got along very well back then, but later on..."

Ying Lili's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and saying these words meant that she had to recall all the past events in full, so her emotions fluctuated violently, which also caused her voice to be intermittent.

Fortunately, despite the bumps in the process, the girl finally finished telling the story.

To put it simply, they were originally good companions, but one day the girl accidentally revealed her little secret, which was seen by the other girl.

The result was that the girl's unintentional words were noticed by other students in the class and spread rapidly, eventually leading to irreversible consequences, making it difficult for her to have enthusiasm and expectations for school, and she has been unable to let it go.

"Um......"

Si Yueyuzhi pondered for a moment. This matter was essentially a misunderstanding, and the girl did not say it on purpose.

But even if it was unintentional, the girl did suffer irreparable harm because of her words.

Being careless is not an excuse, nor can it be used as evidence to exonerate oneself.

"I know what you're thinking." Before Siyue Yuzhi could think of what to say, Ying Lili spoke first: "If you want to say that I'm too fragile, just say it."

She admitted that she was very fragile and that a little setback would frighten her to the point of stopping in her tracks.

But what could she do? The sharp blade of gossip was stabbing into her body, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe. If she didn't run away, she really couldn't bear it.

"Not really." April Yuzhi shook his head slightly and said to Ying Lili, "I'm not the person involved, let alone you, so I can't understand how you felt when you suffered these things. If you feel that you made the right choice, then it is the right one."

"I can't say anything about that."

"But I think if you feel like you've moved on and have decided to move on, then why not try to make peace with your past?"

"It's very uncomfortable to keep what you want to say and do in your heart. If you don't act decisively, you may not have the chance to do it in the future."

Having experienced this regret personally, Si Yue Yu Zhi felt that he was qualified to say such words.

"..."

As for reconciling with the past...the only person she needed to reconcile with was her friend.

It has been so long and I have already decided to move on, but she is still worried about me. I guess she must feel bad inside.

Of course, this was just her guess, her wishful thinking. But if possible, she would rather believe that her wishful thinking was true.

After all, Chiyo-san is really a very gentle person.

Ying Lili was thinking about the past in her heart, and Si Yue Yuzhi was silently accompanying her without saying a word, waiting for the girl to make the wrong decision.

Regardless of whether she chooses to reconcile or continue like this, as the girl's friend he will give her unconditional support and will not show favoritism just because the girl is cute.

"Do you know what her name is?"

After a long time, Ying Lili finally spoke, and April Yuzhi already knew what decision she had made.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. It was a very happy thing to be able to offer useful suggestions as a friend.

"I don't know." Si Yue Yuzhi shook his head in agreement.

"Her name is Chiyo Chiyuki." When she said this name, Eriri felt her heart more relaxed than ever.

"It's a cute name, right? She's almost as cute as she is."

"Is this the type that a pervert like you like?"

"......" Suddenly hearing the name of an old friend made Siyue Yuzhi fall silent.

"what are you thinking about?"

After not hearing the boy speak for a while, Ying Lili turned to look at him and asked with some uneasiness in her heart: "You are not angry, are you?"

Because she said he was a pervert... Why did she say that? Oh, now she seems to understand Chiyo-san's feelings a little bit.

"Angry?" Si Yue Yuzhi suppressed the emotion in his heart, came back to his senses and looked at the girl who looked a little uneasy, then smiled and said, "Do you think I'm angry?"

He prides himself on being a relatively restrained person, with a gentle temper and approach to things. He won't get angry easily unless his bottom line is really touched.

How should I put it? Rather than being irritable and angry about anything, he believes that staying calm is the only way to maintain physical and mental health.

"I have seen it." Seeing that the boy didn't seem angry, Ying Lili felt relieved and answered boldly.

"It's only been a short time, you won't have forgotten it, right?"

"Well...it would be best if I could forget it."

He knew what the girl was talking about, but what he wanted to forget was the dream about Glass. Whenever he thought about it, he felt extremely sad.

"Humph, you will definitely forget it soon." Eriri snorted and said, "After all, you look a little stupid."

"Huh?" Si Yue Yuzhi really didn't expect that he would appear like this in the eyes of the girl. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever said that he was not smart. Even those who hated him would not attack him for this matter.

Because they know that this is just asking for trouble.

"Huh what? Am I wrong?"

In Eriri's opinion, the boy next to her was indeed not very smart. He would always rest his chin on his hand and stare out the window in a daze from time to time. Even after being reprimanded many times by the teacher in class, he still did not change.

She had never seen him listen carefully in class, nor had she seen him review after class. The boy looked like a stupid kid who didn't like studying.

Of course, she doesn't mind at all. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.

This boy has the kindness to stand up for others and the determination to do his best, which is what attracted her more than his appearance and grades.

She, she... wasn't feeling moved at all, nor was she envious of the girls who had a better relationship with him.
