It was still snowing outside, and Naruse was pulled out of the classroom by several boys and went straight to the gymnasium.
"This is not the first time..."
Naruse was a little helpless about their strong curiosity.
In the semester since he transferred here alone, Hikaru Takigawa has been asked by boys or girls to go to the rooftop or behind the gymnasium and confess his love more than a dozen times.
"But for some people, it is a very important first time!" someone said.
Naruse looked at him and said, "Xiaolin seems to be very active."
"...It's okay, I...you see some of them are also very positive!"
Naruse looked at the boys next to him and found that this was indeed the case.
"If you've seen some things more often, you won't feel that you... well, you won't be ashamed of the people who did it before." Another boy said.
Naruse was startled, vaguely understood something, smiled, and said nothing more.
Follow all the way to the gymnasium, and the agreed place is behind the gymnasium.
Hikari Takigawa, who was being followed, unconsciously walked around from the right, and the boys immediately chose the left.
Nearing the end, several people slowed down again.
They walked so fast that Takigawa Hikaru hadn't even gotten around here.
Naruse leaned against the wall, looking at the snow on the ground next to him, listening to the movement over there, but he was pushed all the way to the front.
"Naruse, see if Takigawa is here."
He had no choice but to peek his head in, then froze for a moment, then looked back at the boys behind him.
"Is it Naganuma?" Kobayashi asked.
"...You really already know."
The person behind the gymnasium who asked Takigawa Hikari to come is Naganuma from Class C. No wonder they insisted on coming over to watch.
Just as Naruse was about to take another look, Hikari Takigawa's voice came from the other side of the corner.
"Hey, it turns out to be Naganuma."
"Takigawa-san..."
"What do you want from me?"
"That..."
Like several boys beside him, Naruse also subconsciously held his breath.
"From the first time I met Takigawa-san yesterday..."
"——Huh?"
"No! After I talked to Takigawa-san for the first time, I found that we got along really well, and I only had Takigawa-san in my heart."
Naruse took a look.
Hikaru Takigawa looked calm, and his tone did not change when he spoke, "Is that so?"
"What I mean is... I like Takigawa-san, please date me!"
Takigawa Hikari didn't react at all, but a neat low cry came from behind Naruse.
"I really said it..."
"Cherish these last moments."
Naruse ignored them and looked at Hikari Takigawa, but she just smiled.
"Sorry, it can't be done."
"..."
Naganuma was obviously shocked. While he was embarrassed, his whole body also visibly sagged.
"Can you tell me the reason?"
"The reason, how should I put it..."
Takigawa Hikaru thought for a moment, "Although I have been confessed many times, I still have no interest in this kind of thing."
"Could it be that...Takigawa-san likes girls?"
"Who knows."
"Eh?"
"Because I'm not interested. It doesn't matter whether I like a boy or a girl." Hikaru Takigawa said with a smile.
"..."
Naganuma was speechless.
Being rejected by her in this way, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
"Don't take it too seriously."
Instead, Hikaru Takigawa comforted him, "Go back, Harumi's study session has already begun."
Seeing the expected result, Naruse also turned around and urged the boys behind him to go back.
"Wait a minute - what do you think of Naruse and Takikawa-san?"
The boys who had just taken two steps immediately turned back and looked at Naruse together.
"..."
He rolled his eyes and stopped.
"Chun Hai? He is my childhood sweetheart."
"Is that all?"
"Huh?"
"If Takigawa-san is interested in love one day, he will still choose Naruse, right?"
It’s really confusing...
Being mentioned by him suddenly made Naruse feel bored.
Even though I have been rejected, do I still have to ask for a result?
And Takigawa Hikari smiled, saying the same thing as before.
"Who knows."
Naruse wanted to see Naganuma's reaction, so he took another look.
"..."
On the other side of the corner, Hikaru Takigawa opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.
"Haruhai?...It's really too much to come and eavesdrop."
"No, that..."
There were messy footsteps behind him. Naruse turned around and saw that the boys had already run away.
"Hmm? Is there anyone else?" Hikaru Takigawa walked over quickly.
When he saw Naruse suddenly appearing, Naganuma was even more embarrassed than him. Without saying anything, he turned around and went back from the other side.
"Wow...there are so many people here."
Takigawa Hikaru only had time to see a few figures from behind. When he turned around, he saw that Naganuma had left and was too lazy to catch up.
The remaining two people looked at each other.
"Eavesdropping is too much."
"I'm sorry." Naruse immediately apologized and explained for himself, "They dragged me here."
Takigawa smiled and didn't ask who it was.
"I'm not angry at Harumi."
The two of them leaned against the wall, not in a hurry to go back.
"It's just that if a girl came today, she might cry in this case."
"Really...you think about it quite a lot."
"Are you considering it? In fact, I should say that I have experienced a lot of situations in the past two years. The first time a girl confessed to me, I didn't know how to refuse."
"Now I'm very skilled at it."
"It's okay."
She laughed, "But if possible, I still hope they don't express their feelings, because some people disappear after being rejected, even though they could still be friends before."
Naruse pursed his lower lip and made no comment.
"Go back to the classroom."
The two of them walked back.
"Speaking of which, how much did they overhear just now?"
"They come faster than you."
"Wow, boy..."
"Go back and teach them a lesson."
She smiled and said, "Okay."
Back in Class C classroom, the boys were still sitting around Naruse's seat, but Naganuma was nowhere to be seen. He was probably too ashamed to stay in the classroom any longer.
Xiao Linzheng and others dodge their gazes, trying to pretend that nothing happened and continue to receive counseling.
"I have something to announce." Hikaru Takigawa suddenly said.
Naruse stood nearby, preparing to see how she would teach them a lesson, but she suddenly took his arm and leaned closer.
"After what happened just now, Chunhai and I decided to date."
"Hello..."
He was just stunned for a moment, but the boys' reaction was much more intense.
"Eh——"
Everyone else in the classroom looked over.
"Because among the people who eavesdropped just now, only Chunhai stayed and did not escape."
"..."
The boys who had focused their attention began to talk about him again.
Of course, they quickly understood that the so-called relationship was just a joke.
Naruse glared at her and struggled again. Hikaru Takigawa smiled at him, let go of his arms, and stared at the boys.
"Xiao Lin, were you here just now?"
Xiao Lin turned his head and looked aside, "That..."
"I remember last semester when you confessed your love to me and was rejected, you seemed to have cried, right? If you eavesdrop again next time, I will tell others about it."
"...haven't you already said it?"
Naruse shook his head and returned to his seat.
Takigawa Hikaru warned the people who had just eavesdropped one by one. After getting their assurance, he smiled slightly and said, "Let's continue the study meeting." Read the book
And just a few minutes after continuing, Shangzi hurriedly appeared at the door of the classroom.
She looked at Naruse and looked at Hikaru Takigawa behind him. Before she came over, she was grabbed by a girl in the front row.
She whispered something, Shang Zi was startled for a moment, and a hint of helplessness quickly flashed across his face.
"..."
Seeing that Naruse was still looking at her, she pursed her lower lip and pointed outside, indicating that she was going back to the club.
He nodded, raised the textbook in his hand and waved it twice.
Apart from this, the two had no further communication.
Takigawa Hikaru sat in the back and had a panoramic view of the two people's actions.
