Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

As the only girl present, Miss Kato Megumi didn't feel out of place; she was even more composed than Ishigami had been at the beginning. She simply slowly put her food into her mouth, silently listening to the three boys' conversation, a gentle smile occasionally playing on her face.

——I unexpectedly feel that these three people are quite compatible.

In Hoshimi's eyes, although the two guys, Shirogane and Ishigami, had just met Kato for the first time, for some reason they were not at all wary of Kato (well, except Ishigami-kun).

There will be updates soon today!

Just finished evening study, let me take a shower and finish my homework first orz

Xing Jianqing Can't Be Alone Again: Chapter 7 Prelude to the Show (Part 4)

All in all, the four of us had a pretty fun dinner.

After dinner, it was getting late, so Kato left first - she seemed to be very satisfied with the day.

Ishigami and Shirogane stayed at Hoshimi's house to play with Haru until around nine o'clock in the evening. It was not until the time for the last bus was approaching that they reluctantly packed up their things and prepared to leave.

"That's enough for today. Let's continue next time."

"Haha, we had a lot of fun today, but I don't know when we can get together again - after all, we are in different schools and have different vacation times."

Baiyin, who had already stood up and carried all his belongings with him, turned his head to look at Xingjian, who was sitting on the cushion and looked much more cheerful, and showed a hearty smile.

"It's okay, it won't be long."

"Well, it's just like what the president said."

Ishigami, who put his computer bag back on, also gave Hoshimi a gentle smile.

"I guess we'll be able to get together again in a few days, Haru-senpai."

"...?"

"Okay, okay, that's all for today. Let's get out of here--"

Before Xingjian could get confused, Shirogane and Ishigami waved and walked towards the entrance with their belongings, waved goodbye to him, and closed the door.

“…What are these two guys doing?”

Xingjian, who clearly felt that these two people were hiding something from her, pouted unhappily.

"What's going on with that mysterious demeanor?"

Of course, what he didn't know and couldn't know was.

The moment the security door was closed, the smiles on Ishigami and Shirogane's faces disappeared instantly.

"I'm telling you... Ishigami."

There was only a serious and somewhat terrifying sharp emotion in Baiyin's eyes.

"It seems that things are not as simple as we thought before."

"Well, and in this case, what we are going to do should also change."

Ishigami glanced coldly at the lights of thousands of homes outside the railing, and his tone no longer contained the slight warmth that had remained before.

Before Hoshimi returned home, Kato told the two people the whole truth.

Although it cannot be ruled out that she may have mixed personal emotions, both Shirogane and Ishigami believe that what Kato said is true.

In the final analysis, the friends of these two people were deliberately persecuted by an ungrateful person.

"...What I can do may be limited, President. But I still..."

Ishigami clenched his fists slightly and looked at Shirogane's silent profile with an extremely serious and focused gaze.

He didn't say the next sentence, but it was already on the verge of coming out.

"...Ah. I'm no different, Ishigami."

Baiyin frowned, and a gleam of light flashed in his always sharp eyes.

"In that case—then let's go all out and do it to the fullest extent possible."

He also turned his head and met Ishigami's gaze, which was still a little evasive but much more determined.

"I know, Ishigami, you can't stand seeing this kind of thing happen to the people around you."

"Ah... that's right. I really don't want anyone in my beloved family to have to experience this kind of pain again."

Ishigami did not try to avoid the subject, but admitted it frankly.

"Not to mention...it happened to Haru-senpai."

"...It's okay. We're not the only ones involved in this kind of thing. If we work together and cooperate well, we can quickly get that guy back to his normal life."

Baiyin patted Ishigami's shoulder comfortingly, and Ishigami mumbled something but still expressed his doubts.

"Are there other people involved besides us? I'm actually a little worried about whether this guy can handle such a sensitive matter."

"It's okay. Shigong assured me with a confident look on his face that this matter will definitely be handled properly."

Baiyin puffed out his chest and looked up at the dark, starless night sky.

"...It won't be long. We'll know the outcome soon."

Warm time is especially short, and Monday after the weekend always makes students feel physically and mentally exhausted.

After the care and concern from his friends over the past few days, Xingjian's mood has improved a lot - at least when he steps into the classroom door and faces those hidden or obvious malicious gazes, he will no longer be as sensitive and extreme as he was at the beginning.

However, when he passed by one of his classmates, his calm and composed expression changed slightly -

That was the girl with blonde twintails, Eriri Sawamura, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a forced smile on her face and glanced at him from time to time.

It can be seen that she seemed to want to talk to him, but due to the people around her, she could only stay where she was and maintain a stiff polite smile.

This is the best thing for Hoshimi, as it prevents Eriri from getting into trouble again because of him.

So he just glanced at Eriri coldly, then looked away as if he was looking at a stranger and returned to his seat.

It seems that there will be a small class meeting organized by the class leaders today, which will be held in the auditorium later.

Shortly after the bell rang, a class leader who had always been particularly motivated in organizing his classmates came to the stage and recounted in detail the content of today's class meeting.

He proudly wrote two big words on the blackboard - "Justice".

"I think this is the most fundamental quality that we, as high school students who have received a good education, should possess! Distinguishing right from wrong and maintaining a sound perspective on major issues is something we all need to agree on and work towards together! It may sound unrealistic, but if we truly want to, we can definitely achieve it!"

Xingjian glanced at the word disapprovingly, a playful smile playing on his lips. The subtle disparity between the eloquent and righteous words of the class leader and the ridiculousness of the subtle disparity between them was just as absurd.

"In today's class meeting, everyone needs to speak personally about their views on justice—"

Then, the class leader paused and shifted his subtle gaze towards the black-haired boy who should have been particularly inconspicuous sitting in the corner.

"... Hoshimi-kun, I think you might want to give it a try."

"...?"

In an instant, the entire class's attention was focused on the black-haired boy sitting in the third row near the door - of course, this also included the slightly stunned Eriri.

The next chapter is about to start making trouble!! (Funny)

By the way, there's only one common volume at most. Whose story do you want to see first? (Just a casual question)

Xing Jianqing Can't Be Alone Again: Chapter 8 Undercurrent Interlude (I)

——Something is wrong.

This strange atmosphere surrounding her made Sawamura Eriri feel particularly uncomfortable.

Her classmates who usually treated her like a star were still as friendly as ever, but the emotions they expressed towards a certain boy were so terrifying that it made Eriri feel a chill down her spine.

It turns out that there are people who can seamlessly switch between the masks of kindness and hatred.

These classmates who usually look kind and enthusiastic were so harmless in her eyes before, but now the malice they exude towards a certain boy makes Eriri walk on thin ice.

——This emotion is absolutely abnormal and absolutely distorted.

It turns out that this group of people are better at disguising themselves than usual.

After realizing this, Eriri realized that the situation was getting worse and worse after the class leader made that extremely provocative request to Hoshimi.

If this group of people had been using cold violence against Xingjian in private before, if things continue like this this time, it is very likely that this secret exclusion will gradually be brought to the surface.

You have to do something.

If we don't act now, the situation will repeat itself or even get worse - just like it did back then.

With this thought in mind, Eriri could no longer sit still and wait for death. She deliberately chose a time in the afternoon when there were not many people in the classroom, and finally caught Hoshimi who was alone.

But the black-haired girl completely ignored her eye signal of "Let's find a place to talk privately". She just looked at her coldly, then took her wallet and walked out of the classroom.

Maybe he was going to the convenience store to buy fried noodles and bread for lunch. During the time that Eriri stayed at Hoshimi's house, she had almost figured out some patterns in his life preferences.

That guy didn't really like eating fried noodles and bread, but it seemed to be a habit.

"........."

Thinking of this, Eriri lowered her eyes, and the emotion in her eyes became particularly sad.

After Xingjian left the classroom, she was the only one left in the empty room.

Eriri sat in her seat, supporting her little face with her hands listlessly, her face full of helplessness and resentment.

——The relationship between the two of them seemed to have returned to the way it was when they first met last semester.

We have been through so much together and have overcome so many difficulties together.

In the end, they were still like strangers, looking at each other and then looking away.

do not do that.

When Eriri Sawamura thought of this, she felt inexplicably irritated and uneasy.

Absolutely don't do this.

And if I continue to be a coward, not only will Qing be disappointed, but that girl Kasumigaoka Utaha will also look down on me completely.

What's more, even she would look down on herself.

Bang——!

Ms. Eriri suddenly stood up from her seat, not caring even if the chair slammed to the ground.

As if she couldn't bear to keep silent any longer, she raised her head and looked at the classmates coming and going in the corridor, then walked out of the classroom in a hurry with a gloomy face.

Unfortunately, the figure of the black-haired boy who had just left had completely disappeared, and in the narrow aisle there were only two or three students chatting with each other during lunch break.

"…………!"

Then, Eriri-san's sharp eyes caught the figure of a black-haired boy with glasses, who had just washed his hands in the men's restroom and was walking towards the classroom while shaking his wrist.

Her eyes lit up instantly.

"Wait! Wait a moment—Ryouya!"

"puff--!"

Taking advantage of the fact that few classmates were paying attention to her, Eriri strode forward, grabbed the back of the boy with glasses' collar, and then pulled him towards her without his consent.

Suddenly caught off guard by this, Aki Tomoya staggered and almost fell to the ground. He barely stood up and straightened his clothes, then looked at Eriri with a somewhat unhappy look, who was full of indignation.

"Wait...what do you want to do, Eriri?"

"I'm the one asking what you're going to do, Renye!"

Eriri looked around again to make sure no one else was around, and then a vicious expression appeared on her cute and innocent little face - she looked quite fierce and aggressive.

"Did you know about the Qing incident? Were you involved in it?"

"...You haven't taken the initiative to talk to me in such a long time, but the first thing you say is about that guy? Do you care about him that much?"

An Yi had a sullen face and didn't look at Eriri, nor did he directly answer Eriri's question. He just made sarcastic remarks in a rather sarcastic tone.

You have to know that in the past, Eriri never stopped talking about Tomoya Aki - at least he was the most important person in Eriri's mind.

"I thought you were here to make peace with me, but it doesn't seem that way."

An Yi adjusted his glasses, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"You lose your composure when something happens to that guy? It seems you've really developed a pretty good relationship with him, Eriri. You've never cared about me this much, have you?"
