Silence. After Gao Songdeng finished speaking, a deathly silence enveloped the group.

“Puff—cough cough cough cough…”

Liu Hao, who was drinking free ice water, almost spit it out, but was choked.

"what?"

Shiina Riki's voice was louder than any other time before.

Chihaya Aine was stunned. After taking a look at Liu Hao, she subconsciously protected her ordinary and soft chest, as if there was really some spring scenery there that could suddenly appear.

Only Nagasaki Suyo blushed her fair face, lowered her head, and felt a mix of emotions.

Although Takamatsu Deng's idea was very brilliant and in a sense a perfect solution, no one took it seriously.

In the end, they agreed to form a band together for at least the two years of high school. As for what would happen after that, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it for the time being. Even Shiina Tatsuki didn't think the band could really last a lifetime.

In short, the band was formed, and the girls also created a group on the chat software. Liu Hao found an excuse, saying that he did not have an account on the overseas chat software, and that Su Shi could just convey any messages.

After everyone said goodbye and left, Liu Hao also declined the invitation to visit the Su family again and prepared to return to his own world.

"Well, I met Xiaoxiang tonight." Before parting with Liu Hao, Su Shi decided to tell the truth. The girl pursed her pink lips and said, "I learned from Chihaya that Xiaoxiang was in Yugaoka. I happened to run into her, but she didn't want to talk to me. Even if I told her that we were forming a band, she didn't want to join."

"Well, you should have been mentally prepared for this, right?"

Liu Hao was not surprised at all. Takamatsu Deng and Chihaya Aion were from the same school as Xiangzi. This kind of thing would happen sooner or later. Xiangzi was only holding on by his last breath now, and he would definitely go down this path until his situation improved.

Su Shi gripped her schoolbag tightly and asked nervously, "What about the band? Are you still going to continue?"

"Of course," Liu Hao said. "Like I said, I do these things because I want to do them. I'm very happy to have these new experiences. Besides, this is our band."

"Yes, our band."

Nagasaki Suyo chewed over these words word by word, her mind in a whirlwind of thoughts, but she just reached out to help Liu Hao straighten his collar.

"……What are you doing?"

"You also represent the image of our band, so I'll help you look more energetic." Nagasaki Suyo raised her pretty face, but lowered her eyelids, hiding her tenderness in her eyes. "Also, I wanted to buy you a pair of socks..."

"No, it's not that I can't afford socks." Liu Hao quickly expressed his opinion.

"I know you don't want them." Su Shi glanced at Liu Hao in a reproachful manner and gently smoothed out the wrinkles on his T-shirt. "So I'm knitting them myself. I'm already halfway through. Although knitted socks aren't very suitable for summer wear, you can't refuse me anymore."

"..."

Liu Hao did not refuse, nor could he refuse. The girl's tenderness not only moved him, but also made him feel an indescribable palpitation.

For a moment, he even had the urge to hug the beautiful body in front of him, and he arrogantly thought that this mature and soft body would allow him to do whatever he wanted.

This sudden and unspeakable whim made Liu Hao feel unfamiliar. After hastily agreeing, he escaped back to his own world. He felt that this must be the sequelae of spending too much time with beautiful girls. If he went back and stayed with the older boys in the dormitory for a while, he would be able to recover. That's right, that's it.

Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips and smiled. Before she could let out a long sigh of relief, she saw a message from someone else, not hers—㈨∷∨si>捌%‰2si伞{″゘◎%0!旿搜>~q群):

Xiangzi: Liu Hao, are you feeling sorry for me too?

The smile on Su Shi's face froze, as if he had accidentally done something wrong again...

at the same time.

A woman who had just put on sunglasses and was about to walk out of the performing arts studio frowned as she looked at her phone. After switching to the chat interface, she couldn't write anything and finally just let out a sigh.

Ruoye Mu, who had just performed ballet in front of the guests at home at her father's request, glanced at the message on the mobile phone screen with an expressionless face, her heartstrings seemed to be tangled together. Her father, as a comedian, easily created an atmosphere of laughter among the guests, but Ruoye Mu could not laugh, because of Xiangzi, because of Liu Hao, and because that was not what her strict father really looked like.

Liu Hao was the last one to see the message. He squatted in the toilet, his head full of question marks.

? ? ? ?

what's going on?

Volume 68: Chapter Chapter You Are Pitying Yourself

As the dull sound of the pneumatic door working rang out, the tram carrying a sparse number of passengers continued along the track to the next station. The contact between the tram and the seamed rails was accompanied by rhythmic bumps, which made Shoko Toyokawa, who was holding her mobile phone, feel even more fluctuating.

The frame of the phone was already warm because it had been held in Xiangzi's sweaty palms for a long time. The girl's anxiety seeped into the glass body. No matter how many billions of transistors there were, they could not understand this hesitation.

Toyokawa Shoko believed that Liu was good.

But it was precisely because of this belief that she couldn't help but have doubts.

Is it true that the only ray of light shining on the girl in this dark valley is not a sign of pity because of her plight?

Shoko Toyokawa knew that this was actually not important. She and Liu Hao had already formed an inseparable community of shared destiny... But she still couldn't help thinking about it, and even sent that message to Liu Hao.

Trust and doubt, strength and fragility, completely opposite emotions appeared in the girl's heart at the same time, making her feel like she was being torn apart by two Shinkansen trains running in opposite directions, and torn into two existences that were no longer her.

"Ding--"

Toyokawa Shoko's heart skipped a beat. She knew it was the notification sound of Liu Hao's reply. She bit her lower lip and unlocked her phone.

Liu Hao: That’s right, anyone with normal empathy will definitely feel sorry for your situation.

The straightforward admission made Xiangzi feel relieved, but the message that Liu Hao sent next made the girl's heart shatter like crystal, revealing the bloody fragility within.

Liu Hao: But I’m not the one who feels sorry for you, it’s you who feels sorry for yourself.

These words were like a knife, cutting the layers of onion in half. The self-esteem and self-pity in Toyokawa Shoko's heart were all exposed like the core of an onion. In an instant, hot tears filled Shoko's sore eyes, but the girl was still trying her best to hold back the tears.

"Jingle Bell--"

The cell phone rang. It was a call from Liu Hao, but Xiangzi remained indifferent. She just stared blankly at her own blurry reflection in the window opposite the tram.

"Jingle Bell--"

The cell phone kept ringing, as if it would never stop unless Xiangzi answered it. It seemed so out of place in this almost empty carriage.

Toyokawa Shoko placed her thumb on the position to refuse the call, but when she was about to press it, the girl's hand had no strength left, and she even pressed the answer button involuntarily. Anyway, it was like an onion that had been completely peeled, and no matter how much it was chopped, it would not hurt anymore.

"Why don't you answer my call?"

Although she was mentally prepared, tears still burst out of her eyes the moment she heard Liu Hao's voice, leaving a crystal-clear mark on her delicate white skin. As the girl's body trembled, the tears gathered on her pointed chin and dripped into her heart.

Her pale pink lips were bitten white by her teeth. Toyokawa Shoko tried her best to suppress her emotions and said to the phone in a cold and calm tone, "I don't want to answer."

"Then why answer it now?"

Liu Hao's tone was also calm and steady. He was not questioning, but just narrating.

"Because you keep hitting me, it's annoying."

"Annoying? Isn't the truth the most hurtful?"

His lips were tightly pursed, and Xiangzi's eyebrows were almost touched by his long eyelashes. He felt angry in his heart. If you are angry, I can be angry too. Who shouldn't be angry?

"Okay, that's what you want. Let's just hang up now."

"Don't hang up."

Liu Hao's calm words, which sounded like an order, made Xiangzi even more rebellious.

"Then what do you want?"

"come here."

"If you have anything to say, just talk on the phone."

"It's not convenient to talk on the phone. I want to have a fight with you."

"We have nothing to quarrel about."

"Yes, a lot, so come over now, right now."

"I don't..."

Before Toyokawa Shoko finished her words, a familiar feeling suddenly enveloped her trembling body.

The blur in front of her eyes passed in an instant. The girl no longer had the energy to think about how she could travel through time without actively requesting it this time. She also had no way to worry about whether the sudden disappearance of a living person on the tram would cause an uproar, because in this small wooden compartment, the young man who was also holding a mobile phone to his ear was already in front of her.

The light in the toilet cubicle of Wu Liuhao's dormitory was dim. The man and woman, who were so familiar with each other's eyes, were one looking at flowers in the fog, while the other was sniffing roses.

"You..."

Liu Liuhao looked at Xiangzi, whose face was covered with tears. Tears filled the red eyes of this strong yet fragile girl. She was trying to be strong, looking broken yet touching.

㈥ Unable to help but stretch out his hand, Liu Hao gently stroked the dazed Toyokawa Shoko's cheek, wiping away the tears on the girl's face. The touch was soft, but the tears stung the skin.

3. “I thought you might cry, but I didn’t expect you to actually cry.”

"So what if I cried?" Toyokawa Shoko finally came to her senses and said stubbornly, turning her head to the side, "Don't worry about me."

4. "Never mind you, but I'm going to scold you next."

Er Liuhao grabbed Toyokawa Xiangzi's wrist without saying a word and pulled her out of the toilet cubicle. The girl resisted but could not struggle against Liuhao's powerful hand.

"What are you doing?"

"I said I was going to have a fight with you, and it's not convenient here."

The two of them were shoving each other as they walked out of the dormitory bathroom. They were just seen by Liu Hao's roommate Zhang Pan, who was so surprised that he could hardly hold the washbasin in his hand.

:What the hell did I see?

Liu Hao pulled a beautiful girl out of the bathroom. The girl was disheveled and had tear marks on her face?

What the hell? Is this something Liu Hao could do? What a beast!

Liu Hao no longer had time to explain anything to his roommates. He held Toyokawa Shoko's hand and walked down the stairs of the men's dormitory. They walked in the night of Binjiang University, and the dim street lights stretched their shadows very long.

"let me go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"open!"

"If you say you won't let go, then don't let go!"

The posture of the two people, one in front and one behind, attracted the attention of many Binda students on the street. It was obvious that the boy was pulling the girl, while the girl, with tears on her face, was resisting.

Finally, a tall and handsome young man stood up. He blocked Liu Hao's way and asked him, "What are you doing?"

He then looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was as beautiful as a lotus on the water, and said with great concern, "Schoolmate, do you need help contacting the security department?"

Liu Hao and Toyokawa Xiangzi looked at the young man who was blocking the road. One of them stepped back, and the other stepped forward, and they stood together in tacit understanding. Liu Hao stretched out her arms, and Xiangzi hugged her arms against his chest. The two who had been pushing and shoving just now were now snuggling together intimately, as if silently mocking the person in front of them for meddling in other people's affairs.

"..."

The young man stood there in a daze, watching Liu Hao and Xiangzi walk around him and continue forward. All the demeanor he had just shown turned into warmth on his face.

It turns out that the clown is actually me?

Volume 69: Chapter Chapter Ruthless, Shameless and Unreasonable

Yanhu Lake, located at the southern end of Binjiang University, is a not very large artificial lake.

This kind of lake is almost a standard feature on every university campus. Reeds and shrubs are planted by the lake. If conditions are good, black swans will be raised there. If conditions do not permit, wild ducks or mandarin ducks will also be raised there. It is a dating spot on campus.

Yanhu Lake was a surprise, because it was quite far from the dormitory area. In addition, there were no lights here at night, and coupled with the sad calls of birds, it was not romantic at all. Instead, it had a slightly weird atmosphere. The good thing, of course, was that there were almost no people here at night, and no one would disturb you even if you made a lot of noise.

After their tacit understanding, Liu Hao and Toyokawa Shoko remained silent until Liu Hao stopped by the lake. Shoko then let go of his arm and turned her face to the other side. Her light blue hair spread over Yuqiu's uniformed shoulders, and her tears had long since dried on her cheeks. The girl stood there in silence, ready to face the big fight that Liu Hao had mentioned.

But Liu Hao didn't say anything. He used the light from his cell phone to find a branch on the side of the road, dragged it on the ground and started circling around Toyokawa Shoko.

A circle

Two laps

……

Ten laps

……

Twenty laps

……

Finally, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help herself and said with a sob: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm sad." Liu Hao didn't stop, walking around in circles as he said, "I'm going to draw a circle and curse you. Each circle I draw is a curse on you. When I draw a circle, it will be 81 times. I'll make you, a conscienceless woman, suffer for the rest of your life."

"you……"

For some reason, Xiangzi, who was feeling heavy-hearted and self-blaming just now, felt the urge to laugh when he saw Liu Hao's childish behavior. When did he become so heartless?

"What are you sad about..."

Xiangzi felt guilty when she said this. She turned her pretty face to the side and didn't want to look at Liu Hao, but Liu Hao kept turning in circles. Unless she lowered her proud head, no matter where she looked, her gaze would meet Liu Hao's deep eyes.

"Of course it's because you are ruthless, shameless and unreasonable."
