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

'Gan! '

Beiyuan Zun was hesitating, wondering whether he should just pack up and run away now, so as to avoid being pointed at in public later.

Kato Megumi was still in the bathroom. After Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha left, only Kitahara Takashi and Aki Tomoya were left at the table.

The two of them had nothing to talk about and they couldn't get along at all, so they just ate the food they ordered and neither of them had any intention of talking.

*

Just as Kato Megumi was about to come out of the bathroom, she heard Eriri's questioning voice: "Have you talked to Zun?"

"No, but he liked me and I liked him too."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's charming and magnetic voice rang out.

Kato Megumi has no habit of hiding in a corner to listen to gossip.

She always eats melons while standing around the main person.

Anyway, her presence is weak, and as long as she doesn't make any noise, no one will be able to notice her.

This is her only advantage.

"He likes you? You must be kidding! He obviously likes me."

Eriri's voice suddenly became sharp.

"He liked me before you even knew him."

Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand and said with a teasing smile, "I should be considered his ex."

Ying Lili laughed out of anger.

"Ex? You've never been with him, how can you be called an ex?"

"I am your first love, stop flattering yourself."

"Have you ever held Zun's hand? Have you ever hugged Zun? Have you ever kissed him?"

Eriri deliberately said these words to provoke Kasumigaoka Utaha, not just to show off her eloquence, but also to test her.

Look, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't attack Watanabe Takashi and eat him.

Eriri cares a lot about this.

Who would be willing to talk about a newspaper as their first love?

Not to mention the first time falling in love, there are still many boys who want to find a girl for the first time.

Eriri thinks she is clean and there is nothing wrong with asking others to be clean as well.

"Have you touched him?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes suddenly turned gloomy and she stared at Eriri.

"of course."

As soon as Eriri saw Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression, she knew that the fat old lady might not even have held Kasumigaoka's hand.

She felt refreshed immediately.

Sure enough, my taste in choosing men is pretty good.

"Why did you touch him?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face turned ashen, her eyes flashed with anger, and her brows were curved downwards. It was obvious that she was extremely angry.

You're pedaling as hard as a bicycle for the man you can't bear to touch, right?

It was the first time that Eriri saw Kasumigaoka Utaha so angry, and she was shocked.

But she quickly realized what was happening and lost her temper: "My boyfriend, why can't I touch him?"

Are you kidding? Do I need to discuss with you before I touch him?

"Not only will I touch it, I'll also send you pictures of our bed later."

"If you want, you can send the video."

"After all, you'll have to rely on these to survive in the future, loser~"

When Kato Megumi heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise.

No, Sawamura-san is so good at playing?

In fact, everyone who knows Eriri knows that she is just talking nonsense to satisfy her desire to talk.

If she were really asked to post it, she would probably back down.

"Loser..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned, then she repeated the word in disbelief.

"There are some things I don't want to say,"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped forward with her long legs wrapped in black stockings.

As the distance between the two of them shortened, Eriri could clearly see her own reflection in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

Poking Eriri's small hill with her slender fingers, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "But in order to prevent you from being carried away by the temporary victory, it seems that I still need to tell you."

"Go ahead, it's just a loser's struggle anyway."

Eriri crossed her arms, not caring at all.

"defeat……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was clearly not used to this word. She took a deep breath and said, "You were able to gain respect because you took advantage of me when I didn't see myself clearly. Otherwise, do you think you would have a chance?"

"Sawamura, you've never defeated me even once since we first met."

"It's the same this time."

There is strong confidence in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

She leaned close to Eriri's ear and lowered her voice: "Zun, he has been mine from the beginning."

"Now I can take it back little by little."

"Don't cry when the time comes, Sawamura."

Eriri's smile was sarcastic, and there was a hint of provocation in it.

"Try it if you can."

The two looked at each other, and Kato Megumi seemed to smell the strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

*

While Kitahara Takashi was feeling uneasy, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri came back together.

What he expected did not seem to happen. The two of them looked calm, as if nothing had happened. They sat on both sides of Kitahara Tsutomu and started eating dinner.

This made Kitahara Tsutomu even more curious about what the two of them had said.

In the middle of the meal, Ying Lili said something shocking: "Zun, come sleep at my place tonight."

"Um???"

Kitahara Tsutomu was stunned.

Aki Tomoya widened his eyes in surprise.

Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly exerted force on the fork in her hand, and her sharp eyes pierced Eriri.

She knew that Eriri said it on purpose for her to hear.

Kato Megumi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, at Kitahara Takashi, and then at Eriri, and then seemed to remember something and took a bite of dessert.

wonderful.

fantastic.

The love story between these three people is much more exciting than the melodramatic TV dramas she has watched.

"I've already booked a hotel, so there's no need."

Kitahara Takashi didn't really want to go.

"Just turn it down."

With a gentle look on her face, Eriri took the initiative to pick up a piece of steak and handed it to Kitahara Tsuyoshi's mouth.

Kitahara Takashi opened his mouth somewhat uncomfortably.

"Besides, my parents like you very much and have been asking me to bring you home."

"Next time, it's not convenient now."

Kitahara Takashi tried to make a final struggle.

"Zun, you're being so indecisive. You're not planning to wait until I'm asleep to go meet some woman tonight, are you?"

Eriri glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha with a hint of meaning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had a calm expression as she ate ramen with a fork, seemingly unmoved. In fact, she had indeed planned to go to the hotel to find Watanabe Takashi in the evening.

Unfortunately, Eriri anticipated her prediction.

"Can I be that kind of person?"

Kitahara Takashi was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Then it's decided."

Eriri's tone left no room for doubt.

After dinner, the five of them separated at the restaurant door.

Kitahara Takashi rode Eriri's bicycle and took her towards her home.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the evening breeze is gentle.

After school, sitting on the back of her boyfriend's bicycle, riding through the city like the wind, with colorful neon lights shining on his face, this scene had been imagined countless times in Eriri's mind.

Holding Watanabe Takashi's waist tightly, Eriri just hoped that time could stop at this moment.

Just thinking about what Kasumigaoka Utaha said to her.

"Zun, he has been mine since the beginning."

"Now I will take it back little by little."

Eriri raised her little face, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Kitahara Takashi: "Takashi, you liked Kasumigaoka Utaha before, right?"

"…You know everything?"

Kitahara Takashi continued to ride at a leisurely pace.

"Yeah, Aki told me."

"Yes, I liked her."

Even though I already knew the answer, Eriri was still unhappy to hear it in person.

"Then do you still like her now?"

"do not like."

Kitahara Takashi answered quickly.

"The person I like now is you."

"It's a lie, I don't believe it."

Eriri pouted.

"You must be saying that to cheer me up."

When they encountered a red light, Kitahara Takashi stopped the car and said lightly: "Rereading a book will give you new insights, but it won't give you a new ending."

"Between her and me, I have tried my best, so I am not the one who should regret it."

Eriri thought that this was a very insightful statement and couldn't help but look at Watanabe Takashi with some admiration.

She found out that her boyfriend was really amazing.

"You asked me, so now I ask you, do you still like Aki Tomoya?"
