Don't you guys dislike me?

The English teacher on the podium was talking eloquently, and Hoshino Yuichi, who had gone to bed early last night and was full of energy, was also drowsy from talking. This feeling of déjà vu made the outsider feel a strange sense of reality...

How strange!

After struggling through the English class, other courses became much more familiar to him. Yuichi was quite good at Chinese, mathematics and the like. This might be because his talent in English was dispersed to other subjects?

The first morning of a new semester is always difficult. Most students are immersed in the leisurely holiday life, and only a few can concentrate on the classes.

At noon, there is a break of nearly two hours, which is enough for them to take a nap after dinner.

Hoshino Yuichi and Horie Tomo did not go to the cafeteria immediately. Needless to say, the cafeteria must be crowded. Trying to squeeze into the crowd and buy something to eat is like a tug-of-war that tests endurance and physical strength.

Instead of doing this, the original owner would rather wait until the people dispersed a little before going, although this would have the disadvantage of having fewer dishes.

As for why Horie Tomoya was also waiting with him, it wasn't because of so-called friendship that stopped him from eating, but because his body size did not allow him to move flexibly in the crowded cafeteria.

Over time, the two reached a common understanding and would stay together for a while after class.

……

When Yuichi and the other person went to the cafeteria, there were fewer students on the road. At this time, a group of girls led by Miura Yumiko came from the fork in the road and walked in front of them.

Of course, Yuichi knew Miura Yumiko, who was the top female in his class's popular group and the one who controlled the topic.

Her waist-length golden hair is noble and beautiful. Although she has the same green eyes as Tachibana Haruna, she has an arrogant look that looks down on others. The light makeup on her pretty face adds a maturity and beauty that does not match her age. It is rumored that she has a bad temper and firmly controls her social circle.

This is a dictatorial and authoritarian Queen of Fire!

But... Yuichi is not interested in her. She is indeed beautiful, but their completely opposite personalities mean that there is no possibility for them to be together. Her beauty does not belong to him, and Yuichi hates having such unreal dreams the most.

The two sides tacitly pretended to be strangers, one in front and one behind, and lived in peace.

"Stupid Yu, look, look! I drew Shiranui!"

Horie Tomoya suddenly pushed the woman with extremely disproportionate body proportions on the screen into his face, forcing him to look.

This instantly brought Yuichi back to his senses. He pushed his phone away and looked at it carefully before saying:

"It looks okay, but it's weirdly big. I can't appreciate it."

Tomoya Horie took back his phone with a smile, his purpose of showing the card had been achieved.

"It's okay, I just want you to know that I got it. It doesn't matter whether you like it or not."

"Seal, crawl!"

While Yuichi was observing them, the group of girls were also talking about them.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Did you notice that Hoshino-san is a little different today? He seems to have become a lot more handsome~"

"Yeah~ I never realized his eyes were so beautiful before." Yuigahama Yui said at the right time.

But she didn't know that her words ignited the rotten girl soul in Ebina Hime like a raging fire meeting dry wood.

The reflection of Ebina Hime's mirror covered her rational eyes: "Those lonely eyes with a strong desire to attack, and the unique temperament revealed by her whole body are simply the first choice for attack!!!"

"If...if he could spend the night with Totsuka Ayaka from the tennis club, I would die with no regrets!"

Miura Yumiko was troubled by her friend's indirect illness. She gently shook Ebina and finally managed to bring her back to her senses so as not to embarrass herself in public.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the Queen turned around and glanced coldly at Youichi behind her, as if complaining that it was because of him that she had to go through so much trouble again.

5. Climbing the high-necked flower

Feeling the unfriendly gaze in front of him, Yuichi moved his gaze back again. After the two eyes met for a moment, it ended with the arrival of the group led by Hayato Hayama.

Yumiko Miura fiddled with the cascading golden threads, hummed softly, and turned her head away.

Hoshino Yuichi was a little puzzled, but didn't care too much.

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the study life of Hane High School is coming to an end. Except for a few students with excellent grades, most students will choose to join clubs.

Yuichi and Tomoya are among the minority, and they also have a club name - Homecoming Club.

Literally, they rejected social life and chose to go back home to do what they wanted to do, such as watching anime, playing games, reading books, etc.

The two of them traveled together, and before going home to do their own things, they had a special activity, which could be said to be a spontaneous homecoming activity for the two of them.

Go explore the shops and look for those small restaurants in inconspicuous places. As the saying goes, the masters are among the people, and those small shops that look dirty and messy often hide unexpected delicacies.

But today, they plan to go to the newly opened JOJO-themed ramen restaurant nearby to take a look.

As soon as you enter the store, you will see JOJO character posters all over the walls, and character dolls and figurines everywhere decorating the store. A rich atmosphere permeates the entire store, and when the food is served, a gift will be placed on the plate as decoration.

The atmosphere is indeed right, but the taste... it's just barely edible.

After going out, Tomoya Horie shook the fat on his face and complained that the store was superficial and the prices were high.

Tomoya's family and Yuichi's are not in the same district, and the two parted at a crossroads.

When getting on the train, Yuichi felt a little scared when he thought about going to Tachibana Haruna's house tonight. The heartbeat that was completely not his own would explode when Tachibana Haruna appeared, as if his body and mind were uncontrollably wanting to be close to her. Looking back now, Yuichi still has no way to suppress the urge.

While he was troubled, his eyes unconsciously wandered around the carriage and he found a familiar figure.

That was the girl he accidentally bumped into on the tram that morning. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looked at him quietly through the crowd.

Hoshino Yuichi smiled at her politely, and the girl hid in the crowd like a frightened deer. When Yuichi looked out the window again, she looked at him again.

Not knowing why, Yuichi continued to worry about how to deal with Tachibana Haruna. He hoped that his stepmother could cook... That way he wouldn't have to see her every day. If they met less often, the excitement in his heart might be completely worn away.

The sun sets in the west, stretching the shadows of people very long.

Yuichi Hoshino, who was walking on the road, suddenly turned into the alley. The girl who was following him carefully with her schoolbag in her hand saw that the person she was following had disappeared, so she trotted in and followed him in.

The long-awaited Yuichi Hoshino finally caught the follower who had been following him since he got off the bus.

His height of 178cm was enough to look down at the petite girl. He asked in confusion: "Why are you following me?"

Unexpectedly, the girl's reaction was so great that she kept bowing and saying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I recognized the wrong person!"

Then... he ran away.

She didn't run very fast, and...her impressive size limited her speed. Knowing that she was trying to escape, Youyi had no intention of chasing her.

Hoshino Yuichi thought that since he caught her in the act once, she wouldn't dare to follow him again, and that was enough.

That night, as usual, he received a call from his father asking him to go to Tachibana Haruna's house for dinner. The apology he conveyed was almost the same as yesterday. This can be considered the helplessness of a single father.

He originally thought that he could deal with Tachibana Haruna more calmly tonight, but he was wrong... He was extremely wrong, and it became worse. The burning love made Yuichi a little dazed.

Not to mention, Tachibana Haruna was defenseless against him and her drunken attack that could be described as a real damage critical hit, so much so that after coming back from a meal.

Yuichi felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

…………

The next day, the girl's gaze on her on the train still did not stop. She was scared to death. Yuichi took the initiative to talk to her, but she ended the topic in just a few words and continued to cast a ghostly gaze at her.

weirdo……

After returning from the morning physical education class, everyone in the corridor stood still, as if time had been paused by someone, and their eyes all looked in the same direction at the same time.

She was a girl who exuded an aura that said "keep away from strangers". Her long black hair that fell to her waist made her face look even fairer and rosy, and her enchanting burgundy eyes were charming and attractive.

The pure white headband holds up her hair, adding a touch of gentleness and girlish agility to her charm. Just a glance back is enough to arouse the love of any young boy.

The thin school uniform could not hide her mature figure beyond her age. Her long and plump legs exuded a plump beauty. Her ivory-white skin was faintly revealed under the shiny black stockings. It was hard to imagine what kind of beauty she would see when she took off that layer of restraint.

No one dared to approach. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how this high-collared flower felt at the moment, and her frosty face was the best proof of that.

This is indeed the case. Kasumigaoka Utaha, who has always been famous for her sharp tongue, did not expect to meet such a shameless villain today.

Just now, Inoue Jun from Class A of Grade 12 made an appointment with Kasumigaoka Utaha to meet in the corridor.

This was tantamount to a disguised confession, but for Kasumigaoka Utaha, boys of the same age were too childish in her eyes. As someone who had been ranked first in the school for three consecutive years and was secretly a best-selling light novel writer, she was indeed qualified to think so.

After all, most boys at this stage have dreams but no actions, and can only rely on the money earned by their parents to live. However, Kasumigaoka Utaha has taken a crucial step and achieved success.

Her existence is a dimensionality reduction attack to ordinary high school students. The widening gap makes her seem unattainable, like a snow lotus on a cliff, which can be admired from a distance but not touched.

But today, there is such a person whose family has some capital trying to climb the cliff and conquer this snow lotus.

The answer is obvious...Jun Inoue failed.

The love of boys and girls at this stage is as fragile as glass. It is a rare thing for them to ask their loved one to meet on the rooftop or in a corner of the school to express their love.

The first one is someone like Inoue Jun who is not afraid of death. The person he is dating is Kasumigaoka Utaha who does not give the other party any wiggle room or face. In addition, what Kasumigaoka Utaha hates most is boys who rely on their family’s wealth and have no advantages.

Therefore, under the all-round output of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Inoue Jun's original politeness and humility were directly broken, and he even tore his face off and threatened Kasumigaoka Utaha to participate in the social event.

This social gathering was naturally organized by Inoue Jun, but Kasumigaoka Utaha flatly refused.

Unexpectedly...Inoue Jun's family's company happened to have business dealings with the Fushigawa Library.

Fuzuigawa Bunko is the place where Kasumigaoka Utaha publishes light novels. Inoue Jun learned about this by chance and had been planning for this moment for a long time.

"Mr. Kasumigaoka, in order for teacher Kasumi Shiko's book to be published smoothly, please come to the banquet on time tonight."

"If you don't go...it's not just a waste of time, even if your work is really a bestseller."

6.Yuichi, do you have someone you like?

Now when she thinks back to Inoue Jun's smug face, Kasumigaoka Utaha still feels disgusted, but since it concerns her future, she has no choice but to consider it carefully.

She comes from a single-parent family. Her father abandoned the family and left alone. When she received the news again, he had already died under the car. Her mother was the only one who supported the family financially. Kasumigaoka Utaha had a dream to become a light novel writer, but she wanted more of a dream to be financially independent so that her mother wouldn't have to work so hard.

The burden of family and dreams made it impossible for her to give up light novels. She just learned from her editor that the Inoue family was indeed cooperating with the library, and she had a good relationship with her editor Machida Sonoko.

When Machida Sonoko found out, she wanted to help her, but Kasumigaoka Utaha knew that the pressure from above was not something a small editor could handle, so she politely declined the editor's kindness.

The noise in the corridor was particularly loud today. The groundless speculations of those uninformed students made her a little angry. Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her beautiful eyes, and the whispers around her suddenly quieted down.

No one wants to offend her. After all... there will be plenty of time to talk about it later, and the criticism and rumors cannot be stopped.

When it came to Kasumigaoka Utaha, Horie Tomoya stroked his chin and commented with a deep look on his face:

"Even I have to admit that Kasumigaoka-senpai is really pretty, on the same level as the 2D beautiful girls."

"Whether they look good or not has nothing to do with you. The 2D world is still better. They are all your wives~", Youyi joked.

"You still understand me, my best friend, stupid Yu!", Horie Tomoya agreed deeply.

"Stupid people are redundant, and so is fat!"

…………

The classes after physical education class are always tiring. Compared to those who try to stay awake even when they are sleepy, Youyi cares a lot about his body and sleeps on the table when he feels sleepy.

Even the bell for the end of get out of class didn't wake him up, and the classroom was empty. A text message on his cell phone told him that Horie Tomoya had gone to the toilet, so he asked Yuichi to go ahead and order one for him.

Hoshino Yuu stood up, rubbed his dizzy head, and staggered towards the cafeteria.

…………

The sunny side of the library, in front of the vending machine.

Ever since the farce in the morning, Kasumigaoka Utaha has been unable to calm down to write, and has been unable to sleep. The question "Should I go or not?" lingers in her mind for a long time.

Finally, I sighed helplessly and prepared to buy a bottle of ice drink to numb my nerves. The funny thing was that the vending machine stopped moving after I took the money...

"What a bad luck...", Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly raised her exquisite leather shoes and kicked the machine heavily.

Boom!

After the game, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed very calm. After all, everyone was gathered in the cafeteria now, so there shouldn't be anyone here... right?

The sleepy Yuichi Hoshino witnessed Kasumigaoka Utaha destroying public property with a calm face.

Are you here to flirt with me? No, are you following me?

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought to herself cautiously.

"Um... how do I get to the cafeteria?"

Youyi was lost in this completely unfamiliar place, a place where the original owner had no memory, and he had lost his sense of direction, so as soon as he heard a voice he rushed over to ask for directions.

New student?

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked Hoshino Yuichi up and down with her arms crossed, then lazily raised her finger to point the way for him.
