I refuse to be a plagiarist

[Tsk, this girl.....]

He didn't pay attention to the girl's cheeks that turned slightly pink in the sunlight.

Facing Yukinoshita's unique way of cheering her up, which was very consistent with her personality, Hasegawa smiled slightly, and then decisively slapped the arm around her neck away:

"I see.

I will try my best to perform well in this school festival and try not to hold everyone back."

Behind the words is an unshakable determination.

After making harsh words in front of the boy, he was ready to meet up with a close friend to continue practicing singing all night in KTV this weekend.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno looked a little indignant at the boy's determination:

"Tsk~ Is that all?"

"Then what do you want from me?

Do I have to pretend to be a passionate young man, look up at the sky, and shout some chuuni slogans at the sun? "

He looked at the girl with a look of disgust in silence.

But perhaps because he was in a good mood recently, after a moment of silence, he pretended to be "can't do anything to you", and then slowly walked behind the young lady:

"thank you."

Although the footsteps were light, they sounded like drumbeats in the girl's heart.

Listening to those brief yet seemingly profound words, she opened her mouth, clenched her fingers, and then slowly loosened them:

"Hmph~ That's pretty much it."

"Haha... since when did your invincible Yukinoshita Haruno start to act like this?"

"None of your business!"

Faced with the boy's sudden teasing, the daughter of the Yukinoshita family was caught off guard and her face turned red.

He let out a roar of protest.

After realizing her gaffe, she quickly adjusted herself and coughed a few times to hide her embarrassment.

Her mood at this moment was actually roughly the same as Hasegawa's mood in the classroom just now.

Since he solved his worries in life, even Hasegawa himself did not realize that some irreversible changes had occurred in his mentality.

When this subtle change manifested itself in the daily details, Yukinoshita Haruno, who had already gotten used to the previous rhythm, would naturally feel caught off guard and in a panic.

Take the conversation between the two people just now for example.

If it were in the past, Hasegawa would never have had the leisure to tease her. At most, he would just mutter "boring" and then focus on his own things.

But then again........

[If it were him in the past, he would not have been willing to waste extra energy on such a 'boring' thing. ]

"Hey, Hasegawa."

"what?"

"You've really changed a lot recently."

"...

Oh, maybe. "

The pace towards the classroom gradually slowed down.

Faced with the girl's rare face-to-face evaluation of him, he was just slightly stunned, and then expressed his attitude towards this issue indifferently.

After all, in the process of growing up, people always change with their experiences.

In Hasegawa Hide's view, as long as the general direction of this process is upward, it is enough.

However, having said that, facing the girl's sudden statement, he was actually somewhat concerned in his heart.

Are the recent changes in myself good or bad?

As a person involved in the matter, he is in a confused situation and thinks that there is no way for him to make a very objective evaluation on his own.

And the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family happens to be the one who knows her relatively well among the people around her.

【interesting........】

Thinking of this, Hasegawa Hide turned around and looked at Yukinoshita Haruno who was following behind him with interest.

It is said that "using people as a mirror can help you understand your gains and losses." During this period when his attitude towards life is gradually changing, he hopes to get a fair evaluation from the girl.

Seeing Hasegawa suddenly looking into her eyes, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was originally feeling emotional, was also startled. She then patted her chest and gave him a reproachful look.

"what?"

"What are you doing~"

He repeated the lines in a tone almost identical to the other person's, like a tape recorder.

Then, he stopped the urge to continue joking, and asked in a half-joking tone:

"So, Yukinoshita, do you think my recent change is good... or bad?"

Like many seemingly boring confessions.

Sometimes behind a joke lies an unspeakable seriousness.

Perhaps because she hid it too well, Yang No did not think too much about Hasegawa Hide's words this time. Instead, she recalled the daily moments with the young man in front of her in recent months.

He is on the playing field, he is in the classroom, he is on a date, and...he was busy preparing for the event before.

After losing the shackles of life, this young man who had been with his parents day and night was like a dragon returning to the sea, gradually blooming with the brilliance that belonged to him.

Although I don't want to admit it, but...

[Compared to me who is stagnant, you seem to be a little too dazzling now. ]

He looked thoughtfully at Hasegawa who was waiting for his answer.

Under his curious gaze, the girl blinked and smiled playfully:

"Not bad, quite exciting."

"what?"

Chapter 58: Foreign Aid from Shuchiin

Faced with Yukinoshita Haruno's comment that he didn't know whether it was a prank or not, Hasegawa Hide gave a bitter smile and then didn't think about it anymore.

Judging from the other person's expression, he should be praising himself, right?

In this case there will be no problem.

As for the girl's "heart-beating" statement, he simply classified it as a "joke".

The opposite sex that can make this young lady feel moved...

"MD, what kind of monster is that?!"

Complaining mercilessly.

After complaining, he refocused his energy on how to quickly improve his singing skills.

In recent times, his daily time is very free. As for the update of X-breaking Sky, it has become the issue that he doesn't need to worry about the most.

All this can be attributed to the fact that China's online literature has been leading the industry for ten years.

Compared to Japan, which takes several months to produce a stream-of-consciousness work, ever since a certain great author started the "tactic" of updating ten chapters a day, Chinese authors, especially those writing male-oriented novels, have been involuntarily increasing their update frequency to an extremely terrifying level.

Compared to those authors who slowly tell the story according to the outline, although Hasegawa's work requires a post-editing process, it is still much easier overall.

So apart from being pushed very hard by the editor-in-chief in the first few days, he has now become the new "legend" of the editorial department after being labeled as a "genius boy" with his ruthless typing machine-like update speed.

According to his older sister Akane Benizaka, for a long time to come, he could even put all the updates behind him and just enjoy the daily life of youth on campus.

Well...at the beginning, Hasegawa just thought it was a joke from the editor-in-chief.

However, now, by some strange coincidence, he has indeed started to run around for the daily problems on campus.

"Moshimoshi, silver?

It’s me, Hasegawa.

Are you free this weekend? How about going to KTV together?

What? The work of the student union?

Please...

The school festival will begin soon, you can't bear to see me embarrass myself in front of so many people, right?"

I sent an invitation to my good friends to form a team.

But unfortunately, this time, Baiyin Yuxing, as a member of the student union, was unable to get away due to work problems.

"......The school festival here is about to start. Every club wants to do a good job in the event, and the student union has a lot of things to deal with recently.

There is really no other way this time, Hasegawa, you might as well go by yourself.

Come on, I believe you can do it."

"Hello! Hello?

“What the hell!!!!”

[Fuck... this guy actually hung up the phone. ]

The hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, he even uttered beautiful Chinese in a hurry.

But complaints are complaints.

Hasegawa could understand his friend's difficulties very well.

If you want to fight for something, unless you have connections who can cover the sky with one hand, then you must pay the corresponding price.

But here comes the problem. There is no one left to practice singing with me. I can’t really go alone, right?

This is not the extremely tolerant Celestial Empire.

If you go to a KTV to sing alone, you will be treated as a freak by many people, including the waiters, and will be pointed at behind your back.

"Really... this is going to be difficult."

He paced back and forth in the corridor with his arms folded.

As a partner in the school festival, no matter what the reason was, he would never look for that guy Yukinoshita Haruno.

But if you look at other people in the class, it seems that their relationship is not good enough to share their thoughts freely.

[It is true that one only regrets not having enough friends when they are needed...]

[Damn it, do you want me to go practice singing with Teacher Jing on the weekend? ]

Thinking of this, the handsome figure of One Punch Man Hiratsuka Shizuka gradually emerged in Hasegawa Hide's mind.

However, unlike a campus with rules and regulations, a place like KTV where it is relatively easy to let go of oneself is not an option worth considering with an elder who likes to smoke and drink and is said to have a very bad drinking habit.

"Is there anyone else I can trust?"

While muttering to himself, he pondered the remaining options in his mind with great confusion.

After pondering for a while, he finally stopped the pointer on the nose of a blonde ice-cold girl in the limited friend list.

— Smith A. Hasaka

Or rather... Hayasaka Ai.

He is tight-lipped, mature, kind-hearted, and trustworthy.......

[OK, it's decided to be you! ]

A hint of joy gradually appeared on his face.

Thinking back on his previous interactions with her, Hasegawa suddenly realized that if the two of them were not too far apart and not very convenient, this girl named Hayasaka Ai would definitely be a more "useful" partner than Shirogane.

However, considering that the other party still had unknown work to do, after sending a reminder message, he began to wait quietly, preparing to call the girl's phone number before going to bed at night.
