Chapter 7: Shimizu-senpai's Attack 2
When I was about to pick it up, Qingshuiyang had already come to me, bent down and picked up the necklace.
"Senior Shimizu, that is..." Just as I was about to say that it was mine, the boy had already looked up at me with a not very good expression on his face.
"This... is this from Hideki?"
"Yes!" Since Senior Shimizu has investigated me, he must know the relationship between Hideki and I. There is no point in hiding it.
"Do you like Hideki? Because he's handsome, or because he's gentle to you?" The expression on Senior Shimizu's face was unpredictable, and he gently shook the necklace in his hand.
Senior Qingshui still had his usual calm and cold tone, but for some reason, he suddenly felt very angry.
"No...no!" I argued, my face turning red.
"It seems like you really like Hideki..." Senior Shimizu's expression became more and more complicated.
"He always forces and threatens me..." I murmured, "But my feelings for him are real."
My heart was beating like this, and I couldn't pretend that I didn't like Hideki.
"Give the necklace back to him!" Senior Shimizu's words made me open my eyes wide, "I didn't tell you that the classmate who rented the pet shop with us was Hideki."
Does this have anything to do with what we are talking about now?
Shimizu-senpai walked up to me, grabbed my hand, and put the necklace back in my palm.
"That guy has been like this with girls since he was a child. As long as someone says they like him, he will never refuse. I have known him for many years, and there are probably very few people who know him better than me! Since he was a child, that guy would come to my house, because I always have animals at home, and cats can sleep on the bed."
I looked at the senior in confusion, not understanding what he was saying.
"That guy can only fall asleep hugging something. All of my cats have been 'tortured' by him. Although you didn't meet him when he came, Hideki would not let go of even the cats in the store. He would often go to the lounge upstairs and hug a cat and fall asleep like that. So, Hideki has a problem. Although his being a bit likable is used to compare with my dislike of getting along with people, his problem is much more serious."
Senior Shimizu reached out and gently rubbed my head - as if he was petting a cat.
"When Zi Mu said he wanted to make a bet, I knew it would turn out like this. It's hard to resist Xiu Shu's attraction, but Xiu Shu doesn't know what love is. In the final analysis, he doesn't have the ability to love someone."
Shimizu-senpai’s words, in contrast to his actions, swept through my heart like a cold wind, and I suddenly felt my whole body chilled.
"Hasunuma Shimur should have told you everything! About the gambling game and that guy's illness. In fact, that guy is not a bad guy, but even if he is worried about his friends, the idea of relying on a girl to make Hideki understand what true love is and restore his ability to love is still too stupid. To be honest, he came to you to confess because of my opposition..."
Senior Shimizu paused, then continued, "I didn't know you at that time, and I didn't care much about the gambling, but Amakusa told me that you were my destined one, and I also felt that it would be bad to let Hideki hurt a girl. It would be fine if everyone just wanted false tenderness, but you were serious, right? Then, I met you, and I thought I should tell you no matter what. Being with Hideki is like a moth to a flame. Although there will be a brief moment of light, the final result will definitely be destruction."
"I, I know..."
My eyes went blurry and tears streamed down my face, turning from hot to cold before falling from my chin and onto the ground.
"I, I know, I understand..."
Yes, I am not unclear. Or rather, I know everything that Senior Qingshui said, every word.
But even so, even if that Dark Emperor told me everything , even if Senior Shimizu explained the truth to me so cruelly, I still like Hideki.
For a young boy who longs for the skin and warmth of another person, I don’t know when, the warmth of his embrace and the feeling of his touch have been firmly remembered by me, and I’m afraid I will never forget them.
Maybe I have been infected by him with a strange disease that craves skin contact!
"Ah, don't cry..." A clean plaid handkerchief was handed to him.
"Senior..." I raised my head and looked at him with tearful eyes.
"It's like I'm the one who bullied you. It's really embarrassing to cry in front of me like this!"
"Yes, I'm sorry." I took the handkerchief and quickly wiped my tears.
“Pfft!” The senior who was looking down at me suddenly laughed, “I should be the one to apologize. I could clearly see that you liked that guy, but I still said it so cruelly. But that’s just how you are…”
Senior Shimizu's fingers gently scraped across my face. This sudden intimacy made me take a step back, and his hand stopped in mid-air.
He was stunned for a moment, then continued to laugh: "You are so small, but you always think about others and don't want to cause trouble to others. A girl as gentle and strong as you will make people feel that they can't ignore you!"
"That's why I can't allow that guy to date you—"
Shimizu-senpai's hand grabbed my wrist forcefully.
I looked at the senior at a loss, and suddenly there was a "rustling" sound next to me.
Senior Qingshui and I looked at each other, turned our heads, and saw that the bushes not far away were shaking at a strange amplitude.
"What...is it?" It's only evening now, there shouldn't be anything strange.
"Maybe it's a dog?" Senior Qingshui said this with a helpless look on his face, and a shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
"Yang, let me go - you're a dog!" After a loud shout, my wrist was snatched away from Senior Qingshui.
Suddenly I was brought into an embrace. Just as I was about to scream, I smelled a mint scent that couldn't be more familiar.
The next second, the scene in front of me was rapidly receding, and Hideki actually picked me up like a princess and ran away!
"Stop, stop!" I was so scared that I had to hold on to the clothes on Hideki's chest tightly.
I don’t know how long we ran before Hideki finally stopped and put me on the ground.
"When Yang declared war on me for no reason, I knew... Huhu-huhu-" Hideki stood in front of me, his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, with shiny beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
