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

Kitahara Tsutomu put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Before the door was completely closed, Komi Glass said in an inaudible voice: "Goodbye."

After saying that, Komi Nozomi shyly closed the door immediately.

With his back against the gate, just as Gu Jianguangzi was about to leave, he heard a voice from the door: "Goodbye."

Hearing the words "Goodbye!", a smile as pure as a little white flower bloomed on Komi Shoko's face.

When she was about to tell her family about her part-time job, she looked up and found Jinto standing in front of her, his arms hanging limply, and a very forced smile: "Good evening, Furumi-san, this is the information my teacher asked me to bring you."

Komi Nozomi looked away slightly. She didn't know why, but she always felt a slight sense of guilt.

Outside the door, Kitahara Takashi also encountered a similar situation.

At the street corner in front of Kitahara Tsune, there was a girl wearing a white shirt with a sweatshirt over it and a hood. She was so perfect that even with a magnifying glass, one could not find a single flaw on her face.

However, after not seeing each other for a few days, Kitahara Takashi discovered that this girl, who was always perfect, looked very bad and her face seemed a little pale.

At this moment, she was looking at Beiyuan Zun from a distance.

At the girl's feet there was a shopping bag with snacks scattered out of it.

Looking at the girl standing at the street corner, Kitahara Takashi's facial muscles twitched slightly, but he still tried to smile: "Good evening, Doma-san."

Chapter 169: Kitahara Takashi, stop pretending.

Domame's clear eyes stared at him motionlessly.

Her eyes were calm, showing no emotion, and she looked at him as if she was looking at a stranger.

Being stared at in this way, Beiyuan Zun, who was already feeling guilty, felt even more uneasy.

He didn't know when Doma Yui started looking at him, or whether she saw him interacting intimately with Furumi Shoko.

It should...can't be such a coincidence?

"What, what's wrong?"

Kitahara Tsutomu found that Doma Mai was staring at him without saying a word, and sweat was faintly appearing on his forehead.

Doma Mai stared at Kitahara Tsune for a long time, then withdrew her gaze and bent down to pick up the fallen things without saying a word.

Kitahara Takashi felt that something was not right with Doma Yui, but he still walked over.

"Let me help you."

Just as Kitahara Takashi bent down and his hand had not yet touched the snacks, Doma Mei slapped his hand away with a "bang".

Beiyuan Zun was stunned.

"Don't touch."

Tsuchiya's voice was low and slightly hoarse.

Kitahara Tsune heard the strong resistance in Doma's voice, so he had to stop and watched Doma pick up the things and leave.

Kitahara Takashi followed her silently.

Doma Mei seemed to notice that Kitahara Tsuyoshi was following her. She didn't say anything, but just silently quickened her pace.

Kitahara Takashi also sped up slightly.

The footsteps chased each other, but in the end they maintained the same distance.

Neither Doma Mei nor Kitahara Takashi said anything, and they walked in silence for a long time.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

After turning several corners and going straight along the road, a drunk man came towards us.

Even from a distance, Tsuchima Mai could smell the alcohol on him.

Tujianmai paused.

When she was thinking of going around, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

She glanced and found that it was Kitahara Tsutomu. She said nothing, but just lowered her eyes silently and continued walking forward.

The drunk man was mumbling something, and when he saw Doma Mai coming towards him, his eyes lit up. However, when he saw Kitahara Takashi standing beside Doma Mai like a flower protector, he had a relatively clear mind and compared the two's body shapes and heights. He silently gave up the idea of ​​going up to chat with her.

not worth it.

One step, two steps... After the two of them were some distance away from the drunk, Domama stopped and said without even looking at Kitahara Takashi, "Thank you for what I did, but could you please stop following me?"

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Beiyuan Zun exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Even if I die, let me die knowingly."

Somehow these words ignited Domama, and she turned her head around and almost glared at him.

"reason?"

"Beiyuan Zun, you actually have the nerve to ask me for an excuse? Do you think you've kept it a secret? Do you think I don't know anything?"

"Why, you're still messing with me when you already have a girlfriend?"

"Is it fun to play tricks on me? Or is your pursuit of me just a bet between you and your friends?"

"If I don't find out, are you planning to have two relationships at the same time and hide it from me forever?"

When Kitahara Tsutomu heard the beginning, his heart skipped a beat.

Thought I was discovered.

But after hearing what happened next, he felt relieved again.

How could I possibly have my feet in two boats?

Kitahara Takashi smiled faintly: "Where would I get a girlfriend? Doma-san, did you misunderstand something? The person I like is you."

Kitahara Tsutomu guessed that he was probably with one of his younger sisters and was accidentally seen by her.

Alas, that's the downside of living in the same city.

Even though Tokyo is big, it can't handle the large number of people.

Kitahara Takashi's previous layout was to have several in Tokyo, several in Chiba, several in Yokohama, and several in Kawasaki.

This way, even if there are a lot of them, you won’t be able to touch them.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Not to mention that there are many rich women in big cities, he doesn't often go to Kawasaki and Yokohama, so naturally he doesn't meet the rich women in those cities.

However, even if Doma Yui sees Kitahara Tsutomu, he is not afraid.

If you ask, just say it's pure friendship. If you ask, just say that Purple is a good sister with charm. Anyway, we are not a partner.

"Kitahara-san, can you please stop pretending?"

"What do you mean by liking me? Your liking me only makes me feel sick."

Seeing that the scumbag Kitahara Takashi was still pretending, Doma Mei picked up the bag of snacks in her hand and threw it at him.

The moment Tsuchimami raised his hand, Kitahara Tsutomu instinctively wanted to dodge, but he forced himself to hold back this full-level dodge that had become his instinct.

It's not that he is a masochist, but this blow will help him with his subsequent actions.

Boom!

The shopping bag filled with snacks hit Kitahara Tsutomu in the face. Kitahara Tsutomu did not dodge and took the blow head-on.

"How can you have another girl in your heart and tell other girls that you like her?"

"I pretended to be asleep in my heart, can you tell me?"

Kitahara Tsutomu slowly raised his head and looked at Doma Mai steadily, with no expression on his face.

Seeing that Kitahara Takashi didn't cry until he saw the coffin, Domama Yui sniffed and asked, "Who was that girl you kissed at the fireworks show last week?"

Beiyuan Zun's expression remained unchanged, but he was already cursing in his heart.

He didn't expect that she could see so many people at the fireworks show.

"A girl who likes me."

"I'm not bad looking, isn't it normal for girls to like me?"

"As for her kissing me, it was purely a sneak attack and I didn't dodge."

"If you were there, you would have seen that I didn't move at all when she kissed me."

Kitahara Tsutomu's words were so convincing that he almost believed them himself.

"Do you think I will still believe your nonsense?"

Doma Mamoru glared at Kitahara Tsutomu with red eyes.

"Is it... that you won't believe anything I say now?"

The boy's face was pale, and his smile was a mixture of bitterness and helplessness.

But there was a deep sadness hidden in his eyes.

"Why are you sad? I'm the one who's been feeling so miserable these days that I can't eat or sleep properly!"

Doma Mei looked at the sad-looking Kitahara Tsutomu, and her eyes became even redder.

No one knew how devastated and desperate she felt when she saw Kitahara Takashi and Kamikawa Nari kissing each other that day.

She was so distracted afterwards that she didn't even know how she got home.

For several days, I kept thinking about the scene of the two of them kissing each other. These days, I was almost driven crazy.

As I said before, before meeting Kitahara Takashi, Doma Yui had never considered love.

She felt that it was good to be alone and free.

But a boy named Kitahara Takashi insisted on breaking into her quiet life and disrupting her peaceful life.

I insist on calling her every night and chatting with her every day.

Listen to him complain about the trivial things in life, talk to each other about the unseen future, and watch him learn about comics and novels that he is not interested in at all for his own sake.

Gradually, Doma Mai began to accept this man who did not leave a very positive impression at first sight, began to open her heart to him, and no longer rejected his nightly calls. She even felt a little bit of anticipation when that time came every day.

Doma Mai knew that she was moved, perhaps not to the extent of liking him, but she believed that it would not be long before she would fall in love with him.

However, all the excitement, all the expectations, and all the emotions that were affected by him were completely destroyed on the day of the fireworks festival last week.

It was obviously you who took the initiative first, and she was about to fall in love, but you dealt her a heavy blow.

Sometimes, Doma Mai would think, since you don’t like me, why do you come to provoke me?

It was he who made her taste the sweetness of first love and also the bitterness of heartbreak.

If it weren't for Kitahara Takashi, I wouldn't feel sad or upset at all, and I would be happy every day.

When she thought of this, her mood was like a volcano erupting without warning. Domama looked directly at Kitahara Tsune with two amber-like eyes: "Kitahara Tsune, I hate you! Do you hear me? I hate you."

The sky above my head was covered with dark clouds, which were densely covered with gloomy clouds.

As the first drop of rain hit the boy's face, followed by the second drop, the third drop... soon it turned into a heavy drizzle.

Soon the boy's white shirt became wet and turned into a tight-fitting garment that stuck tightly to his body.

The boy's eyes were fragile, like a mirror about to shatter, and it seemed that he would break with just the slightest touch.

Doma Mei turned her face away: "If only... I had never met you in the first place."

After saying this, Tsuchimami rushed into the night.

Kitahara Takashi stood in the night and heavy rain, watching the girl running farther and farther away.

The streets, wet by the rain, seemed even colder and quieter at this moment.

After the girl ran away and could no longer be seen, the boy lowered his head to look at the bag of snacks that was scattered on the ground again.

He bent down and put them into the shopping bag one by one.
