Chapter 3 Skin Hunger? 3
"Speak!"
"What?" I tried to stay calm. "It seems like there is nothing much to talk about with you."
"Nothing to say? Don't forget, you still owe me an answer. Even if it's a rejection, please give me a reason." Hideki's gloomy voice echoed in my ears.
"I'll say it again, I don't have time to play games with you. Whether it's responsibility or love, find girls who are willing to play with you..." I gritted my teeth and said word by word, "I don't like popular people, and I don't want to date someone who likes a lot of girls."
After learning from Hasunuma that Hideki called his fans "my little sheep" in front of other Houdi, I became more convinced of this idea.
I know I'm not that special someone, but I don't want to be any of them!
I was moved by the words "Let's be together", and I will never allow that kind of stupid feeling to happen again.
"So, according to what you said, if I stop associating with other girls, stop saying things to them that they like to hear, and stop looking at them and only look at you, will you date me?"
There was a light flickering in those dark eyes, like a blazing flame, burning me.
I couldn't help but indulge in that light, but when I thought of the bet, I sobered up instantly and said coldly, "Impossible!"
"Absolutely not."
It's not me who is impossible.
But it's you, Hideki!
After learning from your friend Hasunuma that you long to absorb other people's body warmth, how could you easily give up the opportunity to get warmth?
If a person can make his friends use this kind of creative flaw as an excuse, there is probably nothing he cannot do!
"Just reject Hideki directly. Maybe it will be a good thing for him." There was a strange softness in the sharp and enchanting eyes of Dark Emperor Renuma.
"At least, maybe it can make him wake up and realize that he is a cursed person."
"That guy is really cursed and can't love anyone. Even Ming from the Amakusa family can't remove this curse."
The words I heard in that magical purple room have been lingering in my mind.
"Cursed to be unable to love"? Hasunuma Shimurai, you are wrong. Hideki himself is the devil cursing pure love...
The Hideki in front of me is a tall boy with half-long black hair, a lovely appearance and handsome features, and a dangerous and persistent look - if such a person wants something, he will definitely work hard to get it! That's why he made such a bet, telling lies within lies, easily approaching unsuspecting girls and stealing their hearts.
Just like me...
"Actually, Hideki, you don't know what true love is, right?" I whispered this in a voice that only the two of us could hear.
I don’t know if it was because what I said was right, but those beautiful eyes suddenly froze for a moment.
"No matter how a person changes, if it is not a change from the heart, it will eventually be a seemingly beautiful lie. If I date Hideki who has become a different person to cooperate with me, will the one I see in my eyes be the real Hideki?"
I don't like Hideki now, but even if I like Hideki who forces himself to meet my requirements, he is not himself! Oda Hideki may be used to lying, but Oshima Ryuu cannot tolerate any lies and deception.
"If it were me, if I had to change myself to please others, I would probably feel that the closer I get to them, the farther they would be from me! Even if that person was by my side, I would only feel more and more lonely."
“That’s going to be very sad!”
Anyway, he only approached me because of the bet, so let's just end it here!
I don't want anything fake, nor do I want to be fooled by false appearances.
I looked at Hideki calmly, but those beautiful eyes slowly avoided my sight. The long eyelashes covered the dark pupils, making it difficult to see the emotions inside.
"You are such a shy guy, but when you look others in the eye like this sometimes, it makes people feel pressured; you always look silly on weekdays, and you will worry about others when they say something casually, but you seem to know what others are thinking... Under such a frank gaze, even if you really have other thoughts, you will feel uneasy!"
I listened to Hideki's words and found that he was really sweet! If I hadn't known about the bet, I might not have realized that this was just his habitual deception, and would have taken it as a compliment to me! How can I know what you are thinking? I'm not a roundworm.
I was just thinking coldly in my heart when Xiushu suddenly raised his head again, held my face with both hands, and gently brushed his thumbs across the skin under my eyes.
"I have also thought about not getting close to you. I would feel uncomfortable being looked at by your shy yet frank eyes. But it seems that I just can't help but care about you."
Eh? What is he talking about? I opened my eyes wide in shock.
No, he was lying! It must be one of those lies he's always been used to.
"I also heard the broadcast from the Student Affairs Office that day looking for you." Hideki chuckled, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness on his lips, "How could I not see through that little trick of Hasunuma..."
"That guy must have told you everything. You must have thought that everything was just a ridiculous farce caused by some boring bets!"
I should be angry, knowing clearly that this guy was telling lies upon lies. Why would he treat me like that and make sudden demands of me? Wasn't it just for a bet?
But, I don’t know why, the bitter smell emanating from him at this moment made my heart ache inexplicably.
"Indeed, I approached you on purpose. But I didn't force myself to please you as you said. I didn't make it up, Yaya..."
"Hideki." Infected by his tone, I couldn't help murmuring his name.
At the same time, Hideki's slender fingers pinched my jaw.
I suddenly came to realize, no, that's not right, I should push him away. This guy is just like what my classmates said, he can easily occupy other people's hearts. I shouldn't listen to him.
"Listen to me, Yaya--" Regardless of my struggle, his hot breath covered my face, and Hideki's face got closer and closer, "Don't go on a date with others, stay with me!"
"No, don't, Hideki!" I leaned against the wall, my body limp with fear. I could only look up at Hideki, who was supporting me with one hand and almost holding me in his arms.
"Won't your legs become weak if you do this? You can only get along with me like this, Yaya..." Hideki grinned wickedly, revealing a row of neat white teeth.
"You, you... Oda Hideki, you bad guy! I'm not going to live without you, I'm going to date someone else!"
I yelled into the guy's ear, and while he frowned and dodged at the sudden noise, I turned and quickly ran towards the stairs on the other side of the teaching building.
What do you mean I can only get along with you? You are such an egomaniac! You are such a liar!
Humph! I will definitely find a guy better than you!
That is my resolution.
After the Friday night self-study get out of class, I walked towards the apartment with my books.
Because tomorrow is the weekend, many students have already gone home, the school is very quiet, only a few people can be seen...
Tomorrow is a four-person date with Hasumi-senpai and Seta-sama. I'm so excited...
I just don’t know who the other person is that Senior Hasumi said he wanted to take away?
Thinking about the day when Senior Hasumi asked me what kind of boys I like, I couldn't help but be curious...
I wonder what the other person looks like?
But no matter what, it will definitely be better than the playboy Oda Hideki.
Humph!
I couldn't help but quicken my pace so that I could go back and prepare what to wear tomorrow.
Seeing the student dormitory just in front of me, I was about to jump in when I heard someone calling me.
“Duck…”
It's Hideki!
He was leaning against the old locust tree at the entrance of the apartment, with most of his body hidden in the shadow of the street lamp, so it was impossible to see the expression on his face.
Unlike his usual domineering voice, his voice today seemed calm and gentle, like the whispers coming from a radio station in the middle of the night, making people tremble...
I walked over unconsciously and stood less than a meter away from him, waiting quietly for him to speak.
Only then did I see the expression on his face clearly. He had put away his usual deliberate disguise, as well as the cold aura that emanated from his body when he was angry. At this moment, he looked like a boy next door.
I don’t know if it’s because of the lighting, but his face looks a little pale, the color of his lips is also light, and he seems to be a little listless.
"Why are you here?" I asked hesitantly.
"Do you have to go on a date with Lian Jian tomorrow?" His tone was a little helpless, as if he was treating a unreasonable child.
"Um."
I nodded, that's for sure.
I really want to know what it feels like to go out with everyone...
Besides, I already felt bad for standing up Senior Hasumi last time, especially since this time I wanted to create an opportunity for him and Miss Seta, there was no way I could break my promise.
However, Hideki seemed to have misunderstood what I meant, and his handsome brows suddenly frowned.
"If you are still angry with me because I said something wrong, can I apologize to you? Please don't be angry with me..."
It's rare to see Hideki being so submissive, but I don't feel proud of myself for being able to shake his emotions. Instead, I feel a little sad...
Subconsciously, I feel that a boy like Hideki should be like his title “Crazy Emperor” – wild and flamboyant.
The look of compromise is not suitable for Hideki!
"I don't……"
"Besides, you said you hate me being with other girls, and I'm trying to change that!" As if trying to convince me better, Hideki seemed a little anxious, and his tone of voice was much more urgent than usual. "Yaya... You should know that I went home alone after school this week, and I didn't accept gifts from girls during recess. So, promise me that you won't go on a date tomorrow, okay?"
Of course I know this...
I knew it as early as the day after Hideki told me that he would distance himself from girls!
You know, Hideki's every move is the focus of the girls' attention, so when he said that he would no longer accept gifts during breaks and would no longer go to and from school with everyone, the girls were immediately furious!
Naturally, I also learned the news in the shortest possible time, and heard the girls' threats: "If I find out who caused Senior Xiushu to become like this, she will be dead!"
Although I am touched by the changes that Hideki has made, but...
"Hideki, I can't promise you this. I have to go on this date. I promised Senior Hasumi to help..."
Seeing that I still refused to change my mind, Xiu Shu's expression became irritable: "Stupid duck, what do you want? I have changed the things you don't like, why are you still unwilling to agree to me? Just because of that sentence 'only get along with me', are you going to erase all my efforts?"
Why?
How can he be so unreasonable? I told you it’s not because of this reason!
