[I can't sleep now, can you talk? ] 00:46 "Read"

Without giving her a chance to refuse, Sasaki initiated a video call after sending the message.

Stupid Chifuyu didn't accept it immediately, and Sasaki wasn't in a hurry either. After waiting for about a minute, the video was connected.

Just as he thought, stupid Chifuyu's eyes were swollen from crying.

Although she covered it up with makeup, it was still obvious.

Just like the casual chat before, Sasaki said with a smile:

"I'm sorry for talking to Chifuyu so late at night."

"Did you hear the thunder just now? It was so loud, like the sky was breaking apart. Were you scared?"

Tsukimi Chifuyu shrugged her red and sour nose and looked at her friend. The sadness in her heart grew stronger and stronger, and the tears that had just been wiped away overflowed from her eyes again:

"See you in winter~"

The soft voice was trembling and hoarse, which reminded people of a kitten shivering with cold, curled up under the eaves in the heavy rain. It was very pitiful.

Hearing this call, Sasaki's expression changed instantly, and he asked anxiously:

"What's wrong, Yuejian, what happened?"

Sasaki's question was like opening a floodgate.

The "trickle" that was silently flowing for Chifuyu Tsukimi suddenly surged.

"Wuwuwu~ Takagi-san, he, wuwuwu~"

Being anxious at this time can make her feel that you care about her, but being too anxious will only make her cry harder.

So Sasaki just showed his worry on his face, but asked in a gentle and steady voice:

"What's wrong with him? Speak slowly, I'm here, I'll help you, don't worry~"

This comfort lasted for three or four minutes.

Tsukimi Chifuyu explained everything in a fragmentary manner.

Sasaki also 'knew' why she was crying like that...

"It's okay, don't think too much about it, videos and photos can be edited, this may all be fake."

"You haven't met Takagi yet, and you haven't asked clearly, so don't take any of this seriously."

As Tsukimi's good friend, Sasaki naturally wanted to help her save her relationship, so he kept saying words of encouragement and comforting her.

However, because he had hesitated to speak before, Tsukimi Chifuyu did not believe what he said.

"Wuwuwu~ Dong, Dongjian doesn't think so, right? You have felt that something is wrong with Takagi-san for a long time, right? But you didn't tell me, wuwu~"

After saying these words with sobs, Tsukimi Chifuyu buried her head on the pillow and cried, leaving Sasaki with a roof over her head.

"This one……"

As if he was surprised that Tsukimi could see it, Sasaki's expression was somewhat helpless:

"I thought so, but it's just a guess... Reminding you without evidence will only affect our relationship. I don't want Chifuyu to hate me."

"Also, I don't think Takagi will betray you. Chifuyu is so cute, sensible and well-behaved. There is no one who doesn't like her."

Although these are compliments to her, they are comments made by her lover, Takagi.

She didn't feel that Sasaki's praise was genuine at all, she just felt that he was comforting herself.

"Wow, I'm not cute at all. I'm slow and boring. I only cause trouble to others. I'm an annoying girl. No one will like me. Wow~"

He buried his head even harder into the pillow. Although Chifuyu Tsukimi's voice was vague, Sasaki could feel the heart-wrenching sadness through the screen.

With his eyebrows curved and a hint of smile revealed, Sasaki asked softly:

"Does Chifuyu think of herself the same way?"

"Do you think you are a girl who only troubles others?"

Not knowing what he meant, Tsukimi Chifuyu lay on the pillow, raised her head slightly, revealing her eyes blurred by tears:

"I, snort~ I do bother Fuyumi a lot."

"Then why does Chifuyu bother me so often?" Sasaki tilted his head and asked with a faint smile.

Her efforts were disliked by her lover, and Chifuyu Tsukimi felt sour again. She pursed her lips in grievance and pity:

"For, for Takagi-san's grades."

"Yes, you have always done this for him. I can see your efforts, but Gao Mu just doesn't appreciate it."

Sasaki smiled and comforted her, looking into her tearful eyes:

"It's Takagi who has no vision, not you. Chifuyu is very good."

"Don't say that no one likes you. The people who like you have always been by your side, you just didn't notice."

The person who likes me is around me...I didn't notice.

Besides Takagi, the only person of the opposite sex she has a good relationship with is...

The white and tender little feet in the quilt moved, and the slender and lovely toes were curled together because of Sasaki's words, as if she was nervous.

It is not clear what he meant by this sentence.

Tsukimi Chifuyu stopped crying, and her eyes, still filled with tears, blinked gently as she stared blankly at her good friend who was smiling faintly on the phone screen.

This sentence is...

Without denying or avoiding the question, Sasaki nodded directly:

"That's what Chifuyu thinks~ I like Chifuyu."

A few blushes of helplessness appeared on the little face that was pale with sadness because of Takagi's cheating. Tsukimi Chifuyu widened her eyes and murmured in disbelief:

"Like, like... that kind of..."

As if because of her shyness, Sasaki's smile became even gentler:

"Yes, it's the kind of love that makes you want to be lovers, the kind that makes you want to be with Chifuyu."

The extremely direct answer shattered the only remaining fantasy in Tsukimi Chifuyu's heart.

I didn’t hear it wrong!

Hearing him say that he liked her... Tsukimi Chifuyu lay on the pillow, and her chubby little hands covered her gradually reddening face:

"This is... this is words of comfort to me, how could anyone like a bad girl like me... I don't have any feminine charm at all..."

"If Chifuyu is bad, then there are no good girls."

Sasaki smiled faintly:

"Actually, I envy Takagi."

Because of his words, Tsukimi Chifuyu put her slender white fingers together, slightly opened them, revealing the pair of shy eyes hiding behind her fingers:

"Envy him?"

"Yes, I envy him for having such a good lover, good-looking and with a good figure, and such a well-behaved and obedient personality, and she is so concerned about his studies and always thinks about the future of the two of them... This is why I have always been close to Chifuyu."

"From the time we first met and started talking to each other, I have always liked you."

Looking into Chifuyu Tsukimi's eyes which were hidden behind her fingers, Sasaki pursed his lips and looked away first:

"Although I feel sorry for Chifuyu, I was very happy when I heard that Takagi cheated on me just now."

"Because I think Takagi doesn't deserve Chifuyu's kindness. Chifuyu has always been devoted to their relationship, so what has Takagi done?"

"..."

The eyes behind the fingers drooped slightly.

Tsukimi Chifuyu pursed her lips in disappointment, obviously thinking of his previous perfunctory tutoring and what he said in the previous video.

She was not afraid of how much she had given, she was only afraid that he would hate her... Nothing was more heartbreaking than denying someone else's efforts.

By contrast……

Meeting her gaze, Sasaki shook his head with a complicated expression:

"Chifuyu are you comparing me to Takagi? Do you think I'm better than him?"

"I'm not saying this to elevate myself by belittling Takagi, and then get Chifuyu to pay attention to me and like me..."

"Because compared to Takagi, I'm not much better...I'm even worse than Takagi."

Knowing why he said that to her... Tsukimi Chifuyu defended her:

"That's because the Otome Minister..."

"That's what you say, but the essence remains the same, isn't it?"

Interrupting the stupid Chifuyu, Sasaki took a step back to advance:

"So, the main reason I said those words above is not because I want Chifuyu to be my lover."

"Of course I do, but I know it's unrealistic because I'm not even as good as Takagi, so how could Chifuyu like me?"

"I told Chifuyu all this because I wanted to tell her not to feel bad about herself or that no one likes her."

"Chifuyu is great. Someone likes Chifuyu."

"In my eyes, Chifuyu is no worse than any other girl."

"..."

Each word and each sentence was like raindrops falling from the sky, dripping into the lake of her heart. The rain and the lake water merged into one, creating circles of ripples that lasted for a long time.

Sasaki denied Takagi Kenta's previous evaluation of her word by word, which made Tsukimi Chifuyu feel indescribable sweetness and joy in her heart.

Being recognized and liked by others... this was an irresistible poison to her who had just been abandoned.

At the same time, there is no longer the constraint of the identity of "Takagi Lover".

Because of his words "How could Chifuyu like me?", Tsukimi Chifuyu began to recall the intimacy between them that she had deliberately ignored before.

For example, holding hands, hugging... and some small actions he often does to me that repeatedly cross the line of friendship.

Add to that the sadness and resentment she felt when she found out he had a lover... Although she attributed her sadness at the time to the fact that 'a good friend no longer cares about herself after having a lover', did she really think so?

Do the two of them usually get along as good friends?

Do I really regard him as an ordinary good friend?

Without the shackles that bound her, Tsukimi Chifuyu began to ponder and explore the thoughts that she had not dared to explore before.

From holding hands at the beginning, to hugging later, to touching the head and pinching the face without any feeling of rejection... the reason why Fuyumi did this to herself was because he liked her.

Then why don't I reject it?

The good impression I had accumulated towards him began to sour.

Tsukimi Chifuyu put down her hands that were covering her face, and her eyes wandered to the smiling face of Sasaki who was encouraging her:

"Well, Dong Jian is also the best boy in my eyes."

"No worse than the others, no worse than Takagi, so don't say that about yourself."

Chapter 218: Threats are not allowed

Wednesday.

The sky was gloomy, with grayish-white clouds rolling lower and lower, and it looked like a downpour might pour down at any time.

On the way to school, Hamasaki Reina looked up at the sky, sighed and complained:

"Today is my midterm exam. I was already in a bad mood, and now it's windy and rainy. Does this mean that I'm going to do terribly on the exam?"

Sasaki, who was walking side by side with Otome Rinka behind the three Hamasaki girls, heard her sigh and asked with a smile:

"Hamazaki-san, are you afraid of what your family will say?"

"It doesn't look like it."

Before Reina Hamasaki turned around to answer, Kurumita Ruli slowed down her pace and said with a smile:

"Reina's parents are not at home, so no one will care even if she fails the exam."
