I refuse to be a plagiarist

"Hey...what the hell are you talking about?

Please, stop joking around at this time, okay..."

There was a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Faced with Hasegawa's teasing that was intended to stir up trouble in the world, the girl glanced at him speechlessly, slumped down on the sofa in the box, looking a little decadent.

In between hard work, people also need proper rest and relaxation.

Other aspects of daily life may not be difficult for her.

But when it comes to Kaguya Shinomiya's own problems, especially emotional ones, she really feels so tired...

Chapter 136: Who can explain it clearly?

【Are you in love?.....】

To be honest, Hasegawa really doesn't have any accurate concept about love.

In his opinion, so-called love is basically that young boys and girls get to know each other for various reasons, and then take a step further and carefully try to weave each other's future together.

During this period, there will be sweet love and also tit-for-tat confrontation.

Perhaps only after going through a series of tests called "life", the two parties involved can look back and sigh with a smile in each other's eyes, "It's great to have you around."........

[Wait, I think I accidentally imagined too much. ]

Put aside for the moment the image in your mind of an old couple snuggling together in the sunset.

What we are discussing now is not some grandpa and grandma who have been together for most of their lives, but two ignorant high school students who have not even figured out their own ideas.

Yes, it is that outrageous.

Whether it is Shirogane Miyuki or Shinomiya Kaguya, in Hasegawa Hide's view, the current relationship between the two is indeed a very puzzling and strange state.

You say that you like each other, but it seems that you also have a strong desire to win, wanting the other person to give in and surrender first.

But if you say you don't like it...

Whether it was the student council members or Hayasaka Ai, who served as their valet, everyone could more or less sense that the two of them cared about and were close to each other to a level far beyond that of friendship.

“Looking at it this way, they really are two guys with weird personalities.

The two of them can be together, they are a perfect match."

Holding his chin, he commented on his friend thoughtfully from the third-person perspective of a bystander.

As the saying goes, "Those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly."

If you look at and analyze a problem from an outsider's perspective, the answers you get may be clearer and more insightful than those obtained by the person involved.

But then again.

Even though Hasegawa Hide analyzed the situation very clearly to his friends, when the same thing happened to him, he might not be able to do it very well.

To give the simplest example: the girl named Hayasaka Ai who is sitting next to Hasegawa at this moment is actually a person of the opposite sex with whom he has a connection beyond friendship, just like Shirogane and Shinomiya discussed before.

Is there any possibility for the two of them to develop further?

From an observer's perspective, according to reasonable logic, this proposition should be feasible.

But in fact, the answer to this question is probably not even clear to the parties involved themselves.

Maybe I haven't thought about it at all, or maybe I just don't care about it because it's too troublesome...

......Bar?

"But to be honest, this kind of nervous expression towards self-righteous cleverness should be very interesting if you stand from the perspective of an observer, right?"

"You're so smart, you conceited little bitch...

Hee~ Hearing you say that, it seems to be true."

Faced with Hasegawa Hide's concise and exquisite summary, Hayasaka Ai was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and finally she couldn't help laughing out loud.

you do not say!

As someone who lives with Kaguya and even knows her daily life better than Kaguya herself, she knows at least a little bit about what kind of effort the other party has put into a certain president, even if she can't say that she knows it completely.

Well, it’s the assassin queen in a certain moon world who said “I know a thing or two about magic”.

Just displaying one piece is enough to make people sigh, "Nowadays high school students are so idle", not to mention the multiple superpositions and high-frequency operations that are as simple and smooth as breathing.

In theory, people should think and consider in their minds before performing some complex behavior.

Things that make you feel unhappy or unmotivated, even if your brain is clear and tells your body to do them, may not necessarily achieve the desired goal, and may even be difficult to complete half of it.

This is what people often say, "twice the effort for half the result."

However, judging from what Kaguya Shinomiya shows in her daily life, no matter from what angle, it is difficult to attribute Hayasaka Ai's attitude of enjoying it to the label of "doing it out of necessity".

[Sometimes, there is even some unnecessary shyness and panic...]

Thinking of this, Hayasaka felt more certain about the answer given by Hasegawa Hide.

While feeling emotional, the look in his eyes when he looked at the other person gradually returned to normal from the tired look that had been criticized at the beginning.

Moreover, compared to usual times, there was a hint of recognition in those blue eyes at this moment.

"Tell me the truth, do you often like to study other people's hearts and thoughts?"

"Why do you think so?"

Under the dim light, Hasegawa was slightly stunned by the girl's probing gesture, then calmly turned his face to the side.

“But it’s undeniable.

Sometimes I do like to explore different people’s personalities and thoughts by observing some details in life, and this state may be a kind of self-protection mechanism developed from some things I have encountered before.”

Old people often say "Every failure is a learning experience".

But if you think about it carefully, you will realize that it is difficult for people to consider summarizing relevant experiences and lessons before they suffer losses themselves.

Hasegawa's passive tendency to explore people's psychology and personality is actually a means of self-protection that was born out of repeated practice.

If you think you can date someone, you will be sincere to them. If you think they are just average, you will just meet them by chance. If you think they are full of shady ideas, you will stay away from them.......

Compared to his current self, he dared to guarantee that in the beginning, he would never consider so many messy things when interacting with others.

But what Hayasaka Ai said was right. At this point, this has indeed become one of her characteristics.

Reluctantly, he nodded towards the girl in front of him.

So-called growth probably means losing some things that you once had but did not cherish at the time.

However, from a utilitarian point of view, there is actually nothing to regret about this change in myself.

Humans are social animals.

When you are in this framework called "society", abandoning innocence and adapting to the environment to make yourself live a better life should not be a bad thing in Hasegawa's opinion...

Chapter 137: Cry On My Shoulder

"Hey, don't hide there and whisper with Hayasaka all the time."

The sudden voice broke the tacit silence between the two.

When they looked up, they saw that the person coming was one of the two protagonists they had just discussed - Baiyin Yuxing.

He usually pretends to be strong, but now in this relaxed atmosphere, he gradually reveals his true self.

Seeing his friend and his "girlfriend" hanging out together, Baiyin Yuxing coughed twice in a pretentious manner, just like a dean who found out about a student's premature love affair:

"From the time you entered the room just now until now, you two have left everyone alone for a long time.

After all, you are the organizer of this party, even if everyone knows that you are very happy, you should still pay attention to it......"

"..."x2

They looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Facing the president's well-intentioned reminder, Hayasaka was the first to react, switching to her image of a hot school girl. She hugged the other person's arm before he or she was prepared, with a pair of big blue eyes shining with eagerness:

"Yeah!

Xiujun, do you want to try it with me? You know, I’m a great singer! "

The desire to express herself in front of her lover was written unabashedly on the girl's face.

In just a moment, she completely projected the image of a couple in love, causing Ishigami and Secretary Fujiwara to look at her sideways.

Then.......

He stared at Hasegawa Hide, the person involved, with an extremely mocking look.

——You’re quite capable, little brat. Look how devoted Hayasaka-san is to you!

"......"

【Oh shit! 】

[Is this also considered shooting oneself in the foot? ]

His eyes were filled with complexity that only he could understand.

Amid the booing crowd, Hasegawa turned his head and looked at Hayasaka Ai, who was also staring at him and waiting for a response.

“Hmph, don’t worry.

I won’t embarrass you.”

He decisively gave an affirmative response, and at the same time, did not forget to take the microphone from his good friend Baiyin.

But during the preparation stage, Hasegawa couldn't help but think of the face of the girl who was looking at him just now.

What kind of expression is that?

He was surprised to find that they should have understood each other, but for a moment he could not tell whether the expectation on the girl's face was superb acting or a cry from the heart.

[But it doesn’t matter anymore...]

[No matter what the situation is, you just need to do what you should do. ]

Select the song you want to sing together on the screen.

Considering Hayasaka's Western heritage and his own shortcoming of not being very proficient in Japanese songs, Hasegawa thought about it briefly and finally chose a classic old English song without hesitation.

At the same time, he turned sideways, leaving enough space for his vision and looking inquiringly to see whether the song he had chosen was suitable.

“Okay~

As expected of you, Xiujun, you picked a song I like so easily."

Looking at the song title on the screen, Hayasaka was slightly stunned, then she made a cute pose and pressed the start button excitedly.

The song is called "Cry On My Shoulder"

Although it has been quite a long time since its release, the classic melody is still so enjoyable to listen to.

It's different from the hip-hop accompaniment you often use when playing the role of a hot girl in school.

For Hayasaka Ai, this song "Cry On My Shoulder" is also a soft melody that she often listens to when she relaxes.

And without any prior communication, I chose this song by accident...

In a sense, this was one of the many ways someone and she were in tune with each other.

"Wow~ Is this actually this song?

Although it is not a classical piece of music, I have to say that from this point of view, Hasegawa-kun is really a person with taste. "

Everyone has their own areas of expertise.

Compared to Hayasaka Ai's versatility, if everyone present were to say who has the highest attainments in the field of music, it would definitely be the eccentric student union secretary - Fujiwara Chika.

Although the little girl always looks like she is trying to find loopholes in the rules and is eager to create chaos, she has won many domestic music awards since elementary school and is one of the most talented girls.

This was also the news that Hasegawa learned indirectly through two other girls from the news agency.

As for why Miss Fujiwara gradually became what she is now, he was not sure just by listening to Tu's words...

The moment the melodious tune sounded, the first person to react was Secretary Fujiwara, besides Hasegawa and Hayasaka who were preparing to sing along.

Having participated in various piano competitions in elementary school and even won national awards, she is now very familiar with all the classical pieces needed for exams.
