Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Today is Monday and he has to go to school. Because he has to rush over from Chiba, Kitahara Takashi has to get up early.

Although he said he got up early, in fact, the time he got up was the same as his usual running time.

After checking out, Kitahara Takashi had just left the hotel when a strong wind brought rain.

There is thunder from time to time.

"Which scumbag swore this time? Or is that Rain God surnamed Xiao coming to Japan for a concert?"

Kitahara Tsutomu looked at the heavy rain in front of him, and then looked at the one given by the hotel.

I don't want to walk to the subway entrance.

Because he doesn't want his shoes to get wet, wearing wet shoes would make him very uncomfortable.

He also didn't put spare shoes in his school bag.

Kitahara Takashi opened his phone and took a look at his balance.

The ample balance gave him a sense of security.

Kitahara Takashi decided to splurge and took a taxi to the station.

*

The tram sped along beneath the crisscross of electric wires.

The tram heading to school was packed with people.

Fearing that she would be accused of sexual harassment and lose her job, few men took the initiative to approach Katsura Yanye, even though she was almost squeezed into a sandwich.

"You're not here today either?"

When the train arrived at Bunkyo Station, Katsura Kotonoha looked up at the platform.

But she waited until the tram door closed and still did not see the boy, and she felt disappointed.

"Looks like I can't send it out today."

She looked at the lemonade in her hand. Katsura Yanye felt a little melancholy. She stared blankly at the subway door in front of her.

As she looked, the world in her eyes gradually faded into black and white. Everything seemed to lose its charm and was gradually weathered.

"We have arrived at Kinshicho Station. Please get on and off the train in an orderly manner."

The tram door slowly opened and the crowd rushed into the car.

Gui Yanye, who was distracted, was bumped by someone. She staggered and almost fell backwards.

Fortunately, at this time, she was pulled aside by a kind person.

After she stood firm, Gui Yanye raised her head and was about to say thank you, but when she saw clearly who was holding her, her world suddenly became colorful and rich again.

Chapter 137 Who do you like, me or him?

After Katsura Yanye regained her balance, Kitahara Takashi released his grip on her wrist and grabbed the handrail ring instead.

"morning."

"Good morning, Kitahara-kun."

After a simple greeting, Kitahara Takashi stopped talking and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

Gui Yanye looked at the young man in front of her. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, short silver hair, black earrings, a fair and handsome face, and a slender figure. He looked the same as the last time she saw him.

It seemed that nothing had changed, but Katsura Kotonoha couldn't tell why. She just felt that Kitahara Takashi had become different and more charming.

Although Kitahara Takashi was very eye-catching before, now just standing there was like being under a spotlight, with people in the carriage constantly looking at him.

Katsura Kotonoha also heard a group of four girls wearing Sakuragaoka Academy uniforms whispering to each other not far away, saying things like, "He's so handsome!", "His legs are longer than my life~" and "When I find a boyfriend in the future, I want to find someone like him."

"It turns out that a buzz cut can be so handsome."

Things like that.

Katsura Yanye didn't try to find a topic to talk about.

First of all, she is not good at initiating conversation.

Secondly, for her, even if she didn't say a word or do anything, just staying with him quietly and looking at him, she would be satisfied.

The two of them didn't speak a word the whole way until Kitahara Takashi and she got off the bus at the same stop. Then Katsura Kotonoha said her first words: "Kitahara-kun, why haven't I seen you lately? Did you get on the bus earlier?"

"No."

Kitahara Takashi yawned as he swiped his card to leave the station. "I bought a motorcycle recently. From now on, I probably won't take the train unless it rains."

"...Is this so?"

Katsura Yanye stopped and stared at the boy's back as he strode forward in a daze.

"Will I never be able to ride to and from school with him again?"

The two of them are from two different schools and have little contact with each other. Now they are going to be deprived of even the little time they spend going to and from school?

Thinking of this, an emotion called sadness began to spread in Gui Yanye's heart.

There are bustling crowds all around, surging traffic in front of me, and flashing traffic lights not far away. I am clearly in the crowded and bustling Tokyo, but why do I feel like I am in a deserted city ruins?

"Kitahara-kun!"

When Kitahara Takashi was about to leave the station, Katsura Yanye finally plucked up the courage and called out to him.

Kitahara Takashi turned his head: "What's the matter?"

Katsura Kotonoha slowly walked up to Kitahara Takashi and stood still, raising her moist eyes: "I still want to go to and from school with you, so, can you please continue to take the train from now on?"

"I reject."

As if she had already guessed Kitahara Takashi's answer, Gui Yanye stared at him stubbornly: "If Kitahara-kun doesn't agree, I will reveal what you did."

"Kitahara-kun, you don't want your classmates to know that you're renting yourself out, do you?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Beiyuan Zun's eyes were dim, like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows and staring at its prey.

"I'm sorry, Kitahara-kun, I have no other way to maintain a relationship with you."

As Gui Yanye spoke, she bowed deeply to Kitahara Tsun: "You don't allow me to go to school to find you, and you almost never reply to the messages I send you, let alone allow me to click on you."

"Without our morning ride together, there would be no connection between us. I can't think of any other excuse to see you."

Beiyuan Zun's eyes softened. He put his right hand on his chin, thinking about something. Suddenly, he said, "Do you like me?"

"How, how could it be! I'm not, I didn't."

Katsura Yanye was like a little girl whose secrets were exposed, her cheeks flushed as she denied it.

"I want to hear the truth. Of course, I don't mind if you want to lie. But your answer will determine how I respond."

Kitahara Takashi's expression was so calm that it didn't seem like he was asking the other person whether they liked him or not, but rather like he was discussing an academic issue.

After a full minute of silence, under Kitahara Takashi's clear eyes, Katsura Yanye still couldn't lie in front of him, and lowered her head: "Yes"

"Well, then the second question is, what do you like about me?"

Kitahara Takashi nodded indifferently and continued asking questions.

"I had absolutely no free time before high school. I had to learn something different every day: ballet, piano, flower arranging, calligraphy, kendo. Every time a classmate asked me to go out and play, I refused because I had to go to cram school. Over time, I became unapproachable in the eyes of others, and no one wanted to be friends with me."

Kitahara Takashi suddenly spoke up: "What if your parents didn't control you and they invited you, would you go?"

"meeting."

Understanding her thoughts, Kitahara Takashi nodded: "Continue."

"After I entered high school, my mom stopped controlling me and I could make friends. However, I was introverted and shy, and I had no experience interacting with people outside my family, so I still didn't make any friends."

"It wasn't until the beginning of this semester that Saionji came up to me and started talking, and that's when I made my first friend."

"Through her introduction and matchmaking, I also met my current boyfriend, Makoto Ito."

Kitahara Takashi suddenly asked: "Do you like him?"

Gui Yanye hesitated for a second, then nodded slowly: "I like it."

"is it?"

Kitahara Takashi took a step forward, closing the small distance between them. He leaned forward, deliberately bringing his face closer to hers, as if to touch it. With a raised eyebrow, he asked something that only appeared in a storyline: "Who do you like more, me or your boyfriend?"

The two sides were so close that every tiny part of Kitahara Zun's face could be seen clearly.

Even though they were so close, Katsura Yanye still couldn't find any flaws on his face.

Because they were too close, Katsura Kotonoha's face began to turn red at an alarming rate.

"Kitahara-kun, don't be like this."

Katsura Yanye pushed Kitahara Tsuyoshi's chest, trying to push him away.

At this moment, she seemed to see something, like a frightened little rabbit with a panic expression.

Kitahara Zun looked back with a puzzled look on his face.

Then he saw a boy with a handsome face and wearing wired headphones and the uniform of Sakakino Academy, breathing heavily and swiping his card as he walked out of the station.

Kitahara Takashi immediately understood and asked, "Ito Makoto?"

"Yes, I, what should I do?"

"It's easy."

When Gui Yanye heard that Kitahara Tsutomu seemed to have a solution, she looked at him with anticipation.

"Just tell me, between me and him, who do you like? I'll help you."

The corners of Kitahara Tsutomu's mouth rose slightly.

There was a wicked delight in his smile, as if he was savoring the mischief that was about to happen.

"Kitahara-kun, you!"

Gui Yanye bit her lips tightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked like she was being bullied.

"Yan Ye."

Kitahara Takashi's sudden intimate address made Katsura Kotonoha's heart tighten suddenly.

"Tell me, between me and him, who do you like?"

The boy's eyes were burning, and the hot air he exhaled hit her face, and their body temperature seemed to merge into one.

Their eyes met, and when the boy's eyes were still, they were like a clear sky, reflecting her figure clearly in his eyes.

And it was into these eyes that she fell.

"you."

Chapter 138 Because of you, I look forward to the future.

"The weather in Tokyo is just as unpredictable as a woman's."

Following the crowded crowd out of the station, Ito Makoto took out an umbrella from his schoolbag while thinking about other things.

Yesterday, when Sekai Saionji was reading a fashion magazine, she asked him who was the prettiest among them. He pointed to the one with the biggest breasts. Then she didn't even get into bed with him. She just put on her clothes and left to chat.

Makoto Ito couldn't understand it. It was you who asked the question, and he answered it, but you were still unhappy.

Since you know this question will make you unhappy from the beginning, just don't ask it.

Sometimes I really don't understand girls.

Ito Makoto was thinking when he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the station entrance.

"Words?"

When seeing Kitahara Takashi lowering his head to "kiss" his girlfriend (from the victim's perspective), Ito Makoto's first reaction was that he was hallucinating.
