"What...what happened to me?"
Fumino Furuhashi tried to remain calm, but her heart was beating much faster than usual. She could even feel the sound of her own heartbeat, like the booming of a drumstick hitting a drumhead, making her scalp tingle. The narrow eyes of Hayakawa in front of her filled her with extreme terror, making her completely unable to face him.
The courage he had just mustered vanished in an instant, and the cowardly Guqiao regained control of his body.
then…
"Ancient bridge,"
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Could it be... that you like me?"
Furuhashi's cheeks flushed crimson, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Ha! Who likes you! Don't think that my coming over in the middle of the night means I have special feelings for you. I was just worried about Ri-chan, don't misunderstand!"
"Eh?"
Hayakawa's face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously said, "But you..."
"She's just worried about your relationship from a friend's perspective. Even if she asks you to reject her confession, it's only because she wants you to give Ri-chan a responsible answer and make her suffer a short, sharp pain instead of a long, drawn-out one!"
Fumino Furuhashi blushed and exclaimed, "Please don't think I'm jealous of Ri-chan! How could I possibly get angry over something like that?!"
Before Hayakawa could even reply, Fumino Furuhashi jumped off the bed and fled the room in one swift motion, leaving Hayakawa sitting on the bed in a daze.
"..."
……
"..."
She slammed her door shut and leaned against it, breathing in the cool temple air. Her flat chest heaved violently, creating a noticeable cleavage.
"Huhuhu..."
She patted her chest hard, but couldn't stop her heart from pounding.
She lost control of her body, her delicate frame sliding limply down the door, finally collapsing against the floor. Her head was bowed, her eyes filled with unease, her face hidden in her hair and the shadows of the room.
After an unknown amount of time, Fumino Furuhashi's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and her breathing became steady.
"hey-hey…"
She pursed her lips slightly, trying to be reserved, but in the end she couldn't help but reveal a sweet and smug smile.
……
To be honest, Fumino Furuhashi felt that her performance tonight was quite good, and she would even give it an excellent rating.
Although I was still afraid when faced with Hayakawa's questions in the end, upon careful reflection, I realized that I had managed to sneak into Hayakawa's room in the middle of the night, climb into his bed, and forcefully question him about what he had been doing that night. After getting the answers, I openly cried to express my feelings, instead of suppressing my emotions as before. In the end, Hayakawa noticed my feelings and asked me the question... Isn't this a symbol of courage?! Isn't this the result of my efforts?
There are many small details that prove her progress, such as lying on Hayakawa's blanket, making eye contact with him multiple times, and finally grabbing his hand and placing it on her face... These can no longer be considered hints, but rather explicit statements!
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself, her face gradually turning red with excitement.
I think I worked way too hard tonight.
As for the place where she chose to run away when faced with Hayakawa's question, Furuhashi believed that if she hadn't run away in the end, she wouldn't be Furuhashi Fumino, but some shameless and frivolous woman!
It is precisely because she is a demure and virtuous lady who knows when to advance and retreat that she chooses to take a step back at that moment, which will make the boy cherish her more. On the other hand, some frivolous girls will definitely rush in directly, which will only lead to their own destruction and they will not be cherished.
Furthermore, her hints tonight were sufficient, and even her final escape was done with an arrogant air. Anyone who wasn't completely incapable of thinking should have been able to discern her true intentions.
That is to say...
Hayakawa should know that she likes him.
Fumino Furuhashi fell silent for a moment, her feelings a mixture of emotions.
So, what will he think of me?
Fumino Furuhashi bit her pink lips, feeling both anticipation and unease about tomorrow.
Furuhashi has no idea how Hayakawa, who knows he likes her, will interact with her.
However… although it might seem a little strange, Furuhashi always felt that Hayakawa must also like him.
Even if you don't like yourself, you should still have some good feelings towards yourself.
It wasn't about confidence or anything like that; it was because... Hayakawa was just too good to him.
Fumino Furuhashi saw all the hard work and serious lessons Hayakawa did every day, and he never missed taking notes or grading tests after class.
If it weren't for a girl he liked, he would never go to such lengths.
Even if you don't like it... you'd definitely have some kind of fondness for it, right?
Fumino Furuhashi thought anxiously.
It's a bit strange that Hayakawa treats Riko the same way, but thinking about it carefully, he's actually nicer to me, for example, he helps me with my luggage when we're on a plane...
Gu Qiao's mind was racing with chaotic thoughts, but he eventually came to a conclusion by peeling back the layers of his confusion.
Tomorrow will likely be the day that decides everything.
He will definitely react to me, and I will be able to tell what kind of reaction he will have.
……
The room was silent. Hayakawa sat motionless on the bed, as if he had been frozen in place.
He had maintained this position for more than five minutes, while his mind kept replaying Fumino Furuhashi's words.
"Ha! Who likes you!"
"Don't think that me coming over in the middle of the night means I have special feelings for you. I'm just worried about Ri-chan. Don't misunderstand!"
"..."
The girl's voice echoed in his mind again and again, and Hayakawa's eyes gradually became vacant.
At this moment, he recalled the fear he had felt when he was once in "Emperor Mode" and was dominated by Ayame Kominami, as well as the humiliation of being killed in front of him.
"This is the most shameful thing that has happened to me this century."
Hayakawa silently covered his face, his voice dry as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.
Although it's infuriating, what Fumino Furuhashi said makes sense; even if someone comes over in the middle of the night, it doesn't necessarily mean it's for their own benefit.
Just because Ogata Rizu confessed to him, he thinks that all the girls in the world like him. That kind of thinking is disgusting.
Hayakawa thought silently, his shame growing heavier and his body feeling increasingly heavy. He slowly lay down on the bed, motionless.
Perhaps Fumino Furuhashi was hiding her shyness. Hayakawa could also tell that her mood and her hasty escape tonight were all wrong, but none of that mattered.
For Hayakawa, the thought of confidently approaching someone and asking, "Do you like me too?" only to be met with a reply like "Who are you?" was humiliating enough that she wished she could be reborn.
Forget all of this...
Hayakawa silently lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
In short, let's go to sleep first.
By tomorrow, everything will be back to normal... probably.
……
Every day the sun rises, bringing boundless light and warmth, bringing hope and a future to the whole world.
Hayakawa opened her eyes, got up and went to the window. She stretched out her arms to the sunlight, her eyes filled with rapture, feeling the cool breeze and gentle light.
"The survival of life on Earth depends on the sun, but the development of humankind depends on people like me."
Hayakawa closed his eyes, looking narcissistic. After a long while, this human sun turned around and came to the door. He hesitated for a moment before opening the door with a serious expression.
Okay, let's begin a wholesome and beautiful new life, free of anything above 16r.
Hayakawa pushed open the door forcefully, where Ogata Rizu stood charmingly. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Hayakawa, and she stood on tiptoe slightly, saying, "Good morning, Hayakawa. Did you sleep well last night?"
"..."
not good at all.
Chapter 336 Two Women Competing…
Indeed, a perfectly healthy, beautiful, and pure life does not actually exist.
Hayakawa silently looked away from Ogata Riju, who was smiling with a pink face in front of him; her large, protruding breasts gave him a headache.
"Good morning."
Hayakawa said calmly, then tried to walk around Ogata Riju towards the corridor.
Ogata Rizu suddenly stepped in front of Hayakawa, her beautiful eyes sparkling like freshly washed grapes, and looked up at Hayakawa with a serious expression, saying, "Let's go together."
“Hmm…
Hayakawa involuntarily took half a step back, his face darkening slightly.
Damn it, this piece is too unpredictable.
After a moment of silence, Hayakawa slowly nodded: "Then let's go together."
As Hayakawa passed by Fumino's room, he intended to knock and invite her to dinner. However, just as he reached out his hand, he suddenly remembered the embarrassing incident from the previous night. His hand, which was about to knock, froze in mid-air, and he silently withdrew it.
Well, if she didn't get up, she probably didn't sleep well last night. Let her sleep a little longer.
As Hayakawa pondered this, Ogata Riju, seeing him hesitating at the door of Furuhashi's room with a puzzled expression, stepped forward, knocked on the door, and called inside, "Fumino, are you up? It's time for breakfast."
Hayakawa wanted to stop her, but before he could react, he could only watch as she knocked on the door.
"coming."
Soon after, Fumino Furuhashi's voice came from the room, followed by the thud of slippers on the wooden floor.
Hayakawa frowned slightly and looked towards the door.
"Wait a minute, Ri-chan."
Fumino Furuhashi got out of bed while rubbing her eyes. She replied to Rizu Ogata's words as she walked towards the door. Despite having just gotten up, she showed no signs of drowsiness and instead appeared energetic.
Because today will be a special day, a special beginning, the start of a change in her relationship with Hayakawa, and all of this will begin when she walks out of this door!
"I am coming"
Fumino Furuhashi pushed open the door with a big smile and greeted Riju Ogata.
The next moment, her expression froze on the spot.
Because she saw Hayakawa standing at the door, and Ogata Riju standing right next to him.
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
Looking at Hayakawa and Ogata standing side by side in front of her, one with a handsome and tall figure, and the other with a round and cute face, Fumino Furuhashi felt a strange sense of a perfect match, a match made in heaven, and then a huge sense of crisis followed.
This feeling...isn't right.
"You guys... you're up really early."
Fumino Furuhashi scanned the two of them expressionlessly, especially when she looked at Hayakawa, her eyes narrowed slightly with a strange expression, as if she was implying something.
Hayakawa remained silent, while Ogata Rizu, standing beside her, calmly said, "Is it still early or late? It's almost past breakfast time. Fumino, you got up a bit late."
Fumino Furuhashi was speechless for a moment, and could only say, "Let's go, let's go eat."
So the three of them went to the restaurant at Mikazuki-ji Temple.
……
During breakfast, Hayakawa was preoccupied with yesterday's events and his upcoming training, paying no attention to the conversation of the girls at the table. It wasn't until after he finished eating that he realized that Furuhashi and Ogata seemed to have become quite familiar with the people from Mikazukiji Temple.
As expected, the speed at which girls make friends is beyond my imagination.
Hayakawa watched the girls chatting happily and thought to himself that chatting with strangers he had just met was something he could never imagine.
But thinking about it, it's actually quite good. If Furuhashi and Ogata had a conflict with the people in the temple, it would be troublesome for me and would affect my spiritual practice.
After finishing his meal, Hayakawa left the table to prepare for his training. He said to Furuhashi and Ogata, "I'm going to train now. You can wander around the temple as you like. If you get bored, you can come find me."
"Hey, cultivation."
Fumino Furuhashi drawled out her words, and Riju Ogata puffed out her cheeks, looking at Hayakawa with dissatisfaction.
"What kind of expressions are those?"
Hayakawa frowned slightly and looked at the two of them.
