People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

For example, when Bai asked the girls to make way for him, he rudely said, "You're blocking my way." But the girls said to each other in private, "Bai's straightforwardness is so funny."

If I did something similar, and others commented things like, "I really like Kushida too..."

So, even if one day in the future my friends find out about my dark past through some channel, will they still distance themselves from me because of it?

Thinking of this, all the fear in Kushida's eyes disappeared, and he was instantly filled with a strong hope for a bright future.

Next, Kushida couldn't wait to tell Shirai about his situation.

But soon she realized that in her excitement, she had accidentally touched the "hang up" button, ending the call that Bai Lan had initiated.

Kushida: !!

Finished!

She actually hung up on the phone so rudely from the person who had given her two chances to pull back from the brink of disaster, who was also her greatest hope to help her out of her current predicament and even change her future!

Kushida: I deserve to die!

Kushida quickly made a phone call back.

.........

Bai Lan was initially annoyed when Kushida rudely hung up on her.

On the bright side, Kushida's rude hanging up of the phone meant that the other party had completely lost patience with him, making his decision to drop out of school even more resolute.

In addition, he recalled his words and realized that they seemed somewhat provocative from Kushida's perspective.

Kushida was probably angered by him.

Thinking of this, Bai Lan's mood immediately improved.

Although Bai Lan wanted to drop out of school, he was still somewhat upset about being threatened and felt like he had been bullied.

How could Bai Lan be bullied like this?

I'll take any revenge I can get, as long as it feels good.

Feeling refreshed, Bai Lan prepared to go to sleep.

However, at that moment, his phone rang.

It was Kushida who called.

connected.

"Sorry, Bai, I accidentally pressed 'hang up' just now."

Also, everything that happened today was my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that, Red Bean Paste, my secret, Marseille!

Bai Lan: ?

40. Shirai: Should we persuade you to surrender? Kushida: No, surrender!

"Sorry, Bai, I accidentally pressed 'hang up' just now."

Also, what happened during lunch break today—red bean paste and private Marseille!

Kushida apologized twice right from the start.

This left Bai Lan somewhat bewildered.

Bai Lan instantly thought of the worst possibility—could it be that the other party had a change of heart and no longer intended to threaten him with dropping out of school?

Slow!

One should not be too pessimistic.

Upon closer examination, the possibility mentioned above is actually quite small.

You made a threat at noon, and then regretted it in the evening?

How could it be that fast?

Even if one were to have a change of heart, wouldn't it require a long period of struggle and deliberation?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Bai Lan thought for a moment.

correct!

Kushida must have felt that the words he used to coerce her during her lunch break were too forceful.

Being threatened by a young girl can easily provoke hot-blooded, prideful male high school students, causing them to act impulsively and fight her to the death, revealing her shameful secrets before dropping out of school.

Although Bai Lan couldn't understand why Kushida felt "ashamed" about something that he had only been tricked into saying some sarcastic things, Bai Lan still wondered why.

Has Kushida become this concerned about his image?

If that's the case, why did she agree to learn how to argue with people from him?

You should have just refused from the start!

He felt there was something wrong here, but he was too lazy to investigate further; dropping out of school was all that mattered.

Therefore, Bai Lan felt that Kushida apologized to him because she wanted to deliberately adopt a lower posture to give him a way out and save face, so that he would feel that "she was not coercing me, but begging me. It's just that this matter is very important to her, and she was afraid that I would not agree, so she had no choice but to use some excessive means."

In this way, Bai Lan's face was saved, and he went from being the "man above" to the "man below." Then, with a superior attitude of "I'm not afraid, I'm just soft-hearted; I'm not being coerced by you, I'm just helping you," he accepted the coercion that the other party had packaged so well.

This is a tactic often used when trying to persuade someone to surrender.

Yes, that must be the case!

The other party apologized not to "give up the threat," but to increase the success rate of "persuading them to surrender"!

To verify her guess, Bai Lan asked in a tone that pretended not to understand anything, "Kushida-kun, what are you talking about?"

“Huh? Of course it is…” Kushida subconsciously followed Bai Lan’s question and said her “mistake”, but then she suddenly stopped and realized what she had done.

They're on the phone!

Telephones have recording capabilities...

No, no!

wrong!

This is not the point.

In Kushida's opinion, if Shirai, with her godlike scheming abilities, really wanted to make it impossible for him to stay at school, she wouldn't need to do any recording at this time.

He only needed not to deliberately reveal any flaws to remind himself at the time; there was no need for all this trouble.

Kushida realized that Shirai was pretending not to understand his apology because he didn't want to accept it.

Why not accept the apology?

Because Kushida apologized over the phone.

Kushida realized what was happening.

She was so eager to apologize as soon as possible and end her hostile relationship with Bai Lan that she chose the quickest way to communicate—by phone.

To commit such a serious crime as coercing someone with indecent assault, and then only apologize over the phone, isn't that incredibly insincere?

For such a serious mistake, at the very least, you should serve a table full of delicious food, then perform a "red bean paste private masai" and dogeza in front of him, and then present him with a generous gift with both hands, right?

Thinking of this, Kushida didn't continue explaining, but said, "Haku-kun, are you free now? I have something I want to say to you in person."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan couldn't help but slap her thigh.

Yes!

That's it!

Unsurprisingly, they lured him out and tried to persuade him to surrender again.

He's made up his mind.

During their conversation later, he wanted Kushida to witness his unwavering resolve to die rather than submit!

Tell her to give up her illusions and report him immediately!

"I'm free now, where would you like to talk?" Bai Lan accepted the other party's invitation for a face-to-face meeting.

Instead of directly revealing the location of the conversation, Kushida quickly asked, "Where are you now?"

Bai Lan: "Dormitory."

Kushida: "Wait for me! I'll be right there, see you in a bit."

Kushida thought about it and realized that while setting out a table full of dishes showed sincerity, there were cameras everywhere in the school. Although there were blind spots, these blind spots definitely did not include places like the cafeteria and restaurants, which were places with high traffic and lots of gossip.

However, some of the things Kushida wanted to say during his apology were things that couldn't be said in public and were inconvenient to say under the camera.

The students' rooms are private spaces without cameras, making them a good place for interviews.

As for the apology banquet, it can be held after the apology is made and the matter is explained.

Although being caught entering and leaving boys' rooms at night would affect her future friendships, at the same time, taking such a risk to go to Bai Lan's place to apologize also better demonstrates her sincerity, somewhat like apologizing with a bundle of thorns on her back.

Therefore, Kushida decided to go to Shirai's room to apologize.

After Kushida finished speaking.

Before Bai Lan could speak...

beep~

Kushida hung up the phone again.

"She's coming to my room? What's going on? Isn't she afraid of being seen by someone she knows and ruining her image?" Bai Lan was very surprised to hear that Kushida was coming to her room.

A few minutes later, Bai Lan heard a knock on the door.

Bai Lan opened the door.

It really is Kushida.

I don't know how she found out which room Bai Lan was staying in.

However, considering that the other person was Kushida, it was quite normal that the other person could find his room so quickly.

After all, she's Kushida, the little angel who wants to be friends with everyone.
