Oh? This is a familiar conversation. Come to think of it, it was the same with Kikyo Kushida before. She didn't want him to tell anyone. Are all girls like this now?
It's just like what one joke says, where you take some weird photos and upload them to the Internet and set it to private, but after a while you find that there are hundreds of views and you explode on the spot.
If you are worried about other people knowing it, then just don't upload it. If you want to keep it more confidential, then just don't keep the local file at all.
No one in the world can steal something that does not exist.
"Okay, go ahead."
A smile appeared on Wu Yi's face that meant "Tell me your pain quickly and make me happy."
But this smile seemed to be misunderstood by Karuizawa Kei as encouragement.
The girl took a deep breath, then exhaled deeply, then took another deep breath, then exhaled again.
The continuous heavy breathing put her brain into a slightly confused state. As if she had made some kind of determination, Karuizawa Kei clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and spoke in one go.
"Can you please be my boyfriend, Wu Yi?"
"..."
Huh?
The upward curve of Wu Yi's mouth suddenly froze.
In an instant, he suddenly felt like he was eating a melon on his head.
No... Girl, do you know what you are talking about? We are not even familiar with each other. Although I know that I am pretty and have a great body, please be a little reserved. We all say that we should start as friends. If you confess your feelings right away, even if you are as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn, you will still confuse people...
"No, I didn't mean that!"
Seeing Wu Yi's expression gradually freeze, Karuizawa Hui realized that she had said the wrong thing and waved her hands quickly again. Her face, which was already a little red due to nervousness, suddenly turned redder.
"Actually what I want to ask is, Wu Yi, can you help me pretend to be my boyfriend?"
pretend?
Hearing this keyword, a short story of 20,000 words immediately emerged in Wu Yi's mind.
"Why does it sound a bit like... a scene where someone is confessed to by a strange person but is too embarrassed to reject him directly, so he can only use this method to indirectly persuade the other person to give up?"
"No, no, no, I don't have that!"
Karuizawa Kei felt like her head was about to shake like a rattle tonight.
She picked up her glass of boiled water, took a sip, and then said.
"Well... how should I put it? I think everyone should focus on their studies during high school, so... well... yes, this way we can avoid a lot of trouble, right?"
Yeah~ This girl really can’t even lie.
Wu Yi, who noticed the blonde girl's evasive gaze under her sunglasses, thought speechlessly in her heart.
So he decided to give it a try.
"Although what you said makes sense, Karuizawa, have you ever thought that maybe, ah, not all boys will take the initiative to confess to you, and the result of your doing this is that I will lose the right to choose a partner for three years of high school. For things like this, I think it's more appropriate to find that good guy Hirata?"
"Hirata-san...Hirata-san is a nice guy, but...he's still not that good."
When Wu Yi mentioned the name of a famous good guy in the class, Karuizawa Kei's expression suddenly became a little puzzled.
"Oh, by the way, by the way, you and Sakayanagi from Class A went to eat hot pot yesterday, right?"
Hmm? What does it mean to say this at a time like this?
Are you going to use this to threaten her?
The frown above Wu Yi's sunglasses twitched slightly, and the memory of being threatened by Kikyo Kushida on the promenade in the seaside park came to his mind, making him subconsciously click his tongue in dissatisfaction, and his tone became a little indifferent.
"So, what do you want to say?"
"..."
Perhaps it was because his tone was a little too harsh, or perhaps it was because his exceptionally strong physique gave Karuizawa Kei an unusual sense of oppression.
Anyway-
Boom!
The sound of a glass falling to the ground came from in front of her. The bottom of the cup hit the round carpet under the desk and bounced up. The scalding water splashed out and poured onto the girl's calves in a large area, seeping into her white stockings with steam.
But Karuizawa Kei seemed to be unaware of it. She was stunned for two seconds, and then a look of fear quickly appeared on her pretty face.
“S-Sorry… I didn’t mean to say that… I’m sorry…”
What?
Wu Yi was a little caught off guard by the other party's exaggerated emotional changes, and he could not help but stand there in a daze again.
This girl, is she suffering from some serious illness?
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
In the original novel, Hui is actually quite cute, but she became a little extreme after being bullied in junior high school, so in this book, I want to teach her a lesson and turn her from a mean sister into a sweet sister! Yeah!
Volume 33: Chapter Old Injuries
Karuizawa Kei's emotional breakdown was quite sudden.
Suddenly, before Wu Yi could react to what was happening, the girl over there had already curled up in her seat like a frightened doe.
In the past, some older urban online articles would describe that if a person kills too many people, he will have a murderous aura on him, and if the murderous aura is strong enough, it can easily cause an ordinary person to have a mental breakdown.
If it were to be shown in a film or TV work, it would probably be the scene before entering the room of the Fire Cloud Evil God in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu".
Wu Yi wasn't sure if this was true, but he had indeed been helping with plastering at the dock since he was five years old... certainly not in order to become a glorious civil engineer in the future.
It should be said that almost every member of the Wu clan knows how to do some dustbinding.
This is a very common method used by the Japanese underworld to deal with the target's corpse. They just throw the corpse into a blender when it's dark and windy, pour it into a human pile, and when it's almost solidified, throw it into the sea. No one will ever find it in this lifetime.
If they were discovered, it must be because the person who was applying the cement was not skilled enough, and the gas from the corpse caused the cement to expand and crack, so the corpse naturally floated up.
However, Wu Yi stopped doing this after he was eight years old, because he later found that pouring the corpse into the asphalt road was a better option.
Cement is brittle and easy to crack, but asphalt does not. At most, no one will care if there is a small bulge on the road. It is also normal for the road surface to be a little uneven with so many large trucks coming and going on the road every day.
The only thing you might have to worry about is the smell that might seep out in the summer.
But it’s not a big deal, because the smell of asphalt becomes stronger when exposed to the sun, which can completely cover it up. Everyone who has used it says it’s good.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
Regardless of whether murderous intent actually existed or not, at least Wu Yi was certain that he had not shown any aggressive intentions towards Karuizawa Kei before.
So the question is, if it wasn't a problem on his side, then why did Karuizawa Kei suddenly have such a big change in her mood?
I think there is only one answer, that is, something Wu Yi said just now, or even an action or an expression turned on the latter.
This is commonly known as PTSD.
The most classic thing is that after watching Fullmetal Alchemist, whenever you see a girl and a big dog standing together, the three words "big brother" will immediately appear in your mind.
Post-traumatic stress disorder?
Scratching his chin slightly, Wu Yi thought for a moment, raised his arm, put his palm on the girl's head, and gently stroked it.
[Wu's skill: petting cats]!
"Hey, calm down. I don't mean to hit you."
"……Eh?"
Karuizawa Kei, who was still trembling in the last second, paused for a moment. After a while, she raised her head from between her fingers little by little. Her eyes were red, revealing a tearful face.
"Really, really?"
"I'm sorry, I lied to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yi used the same brain-smashing technique as Kikyo Kushida to hit the blonde girl between her eyebrows, then he withdrew his hand and sat back on the bed.
"Okay, I'm done."
"Woo..."
Karuizawa Kei covered her forehead with her hands, looking a little aggrieved.
But after a while she lowered her head again and muttered softly.
"Sorry, I spilled the water..."
"It's okay. It's just boiled water anyway. I'll just mop it after you leave. As for the carpet, just put it on the balcony to dry. It should be dry by noon tomorrow in this weather."
Wu Yi shook his head to indicate that he didn't care, his eyes fell on the completely wet white stockings on the girl's legs.
"Compared to this, Karuizawa, are your legs really okay? The water should be quite hot."
“…It’s cooled down now.”
"It must be very uncomfortable because it's wet. Why don't you take it off?" Wu Yi suggested.
"No, no, no! No need for that!" Karuizawa Kei's face turned red and she quickly refused.
"Isn't it uncomfortable?"
"Yes... a little, but it's okay..."
"If you feel uncomfortable, just take it off."
"But, but..."
“I don’t really care about this kind of thing.”
"Oh……"
It was probably really uncomfortable. Hearing what Wu Yi said, Karuizawa Hui no longer hesitated and took her feet out of the slippers. Then she bent sideways and slowly took off her wet but still warm stockings, carefully placing them in a less conspicuous place on the floor at the back.
Then she clenched her hands into fists and placed them under her knees to raise them higher so that her legs could hang in the air with less effort.
Under the light, the girl's white feet reflected a moist luster... Fortunately, there was no strange smell coming out.
Wu Yi just took a glance and then looked away.
"Well, let's get back to the point. What on earth was the reason for your reaction just now, Karuizawa? And what does the fact that I ate at the school hot pot restaurant with Arisaka... Sakayanagi have to do with what you said about Hirata not being able to do?"
"…Which one should I answer first?"
"Anything is fine."
"Then let's talk about the latter one first..."
When saying this, Karuizawa Kei stole a glance at Wu Yi, their toes touching each other and twisting together, as if they were afraid of angering the latter. After confirming that everything was fine, she continued speaking.
"It was yesterday evening when Shinohara and I were shopping in the mall. We happened to pass by a hot pot restaurant. I smelled something delicious so I looked inside. I saw you, Wu Yi, eating together with Sakayanagi from Class A in the left row."
"……that's all?"
"that's it."
Karuizawa Kei paused for a moment and suddenly realized that she seemed to have missed something, and hurriedly added it again.
"Anyway, they look very loving, like a pair of siblings."
Huh? This girl is looking at Saffufu. Is she pretty accurate in this kind of thing?
Wu Yi confirmed the girl's guess.
"I guess she's my cousin."
"As expected... Although I only saw her from a distance, I can clearly feel that Wu Yi-san's attitude towards Sakayanagi-san is significantly different from that of other students in the class. Hirata-san is not able to do this."
Karuizawa Kei blinked and asked the question a little seriously.
"Student Wu Yi, have you ever heard of a group of people called 'central air conditioners'?"
"To send warmth like the spring breeze to everyone without distinction?"
"Yeah, Hirata-san is the legendary central air conditioner. If he really likes someone, he might become a little different, but if he's pretending, he definitely won't be able to act like one."
At this point, Karuizawa Kei seemed to smile, with a hint of bitterness in her smile.
"Regarding the previous question, I'm sorry, I lied. Not wanting to find a partner is only part of the reason... a very small part of the reason. The real main reason is this..."
As she spoke, she grabbed the hem of her shirt in front of Wu Yi, with such force that her knuckles turned pale. She turned her face away and closed her eyes tightly as if she had made up her mind.
The hem moved up inch by inch, revealing the girl's flat and smooth belly.
Wu Yi watched quietly from beginning to end, until a certain point, when he suddenly froze.
