chapter eight 3
"Chacha! You're such an idiot, Ayano Yu lied to you!"
"You idiot, look at where he always takes leave. I spent a lot of time taking this photo!"
Liangwu had a chilling smile on his face. He took out a stack of photos from his bag and stuffed them into my hands.
"He went to the Kyudo club to practice..." I lowered my head while defending Ayano Yu.
Oh my god! What...what is this?
Ayano Yu was sitting on a bench with a smile on his face. Next to him sat a girl in a blue patient uniform. They were sitting close to each other, with lush flowers blooming behind them.
"He's been asking for leave lately, but he never went to the archery club! Because he always goes to the hospital to accompany this girl!" Ryogo's voice was filled with deep sympathy, "Chacha, he's been lying to you all along."
It’s really…it’s really him.
That handsome face with clear contours like a sculpture, and the slender arms are so reliable, but at this moment, he is ironically holding another girl's shoulders. Yes, I have always known that Ayano Yu looks particularly good when he smiles. The teardrop mole under his eyes is both playful and innocent, and his long eyelashes are like two small fans... But at this moment, he is smiling at someone else!
And... this girl is so beautiful! She has long hair, an angelic face, bright eyes that shimmer like water waves in the sun, and an unhealthy pale complexion. She leans her head on Ayano Yu's arm, and seems to be amused by his words. Her smile is so bright that it makes the roses in the flowerbed behind her pale.
For a moment, my scalp felt like it was electrocuted, and a kind of pain that I couldn't identify gripped my heart.
"Maybe he just went to the hospital to volunteer..." I tried to explain for him, but I felt more and more heartbroken.
The intimacy between Ayano Yu and that girl was definitely not something an ordinary volunteer could do...and Ryogo took more than just one photo. As I flipped through them one by one, my heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave, getting colder and colder.
Ayano Yu and the girl were walking in the garden together, holding hands; Ayano Yu seemed to have said something particularly interesting, causing the girl to cover her mouth and laugh secretly; Ayano Yu carried the , with a charming smile on his face...
For a moment, I felt that the scarf around my neck could not warm my cold heart. Ayano Yu, Ayano Yu clearly said that he liked me!
Can you just say you like someone? I don't believe it!
Under the bright orange street lights, I could make out the name of the hospital behind them from the photo - Linghua Hospital.
"I understand." I lowered my head and tightly grasped the stack of photos. "I will ask Ayano Yuu clearly."
"Ask him?" Liangwu suddenly turned cold, "Why don't I take you to the hospital tomorrow and see it with my own eyes!"
Early the next morning, Ryogo and I took a leave of absence and ran to Linghua Hospital in the photo.
"It's right here," Ryogo whispered proudly, "They come here for a walk every morning, and my photos were taken here..."
I hid behind a tree, looked up at him, and I didn't know what to feel.
Even though Ryogo is my best friend, I still want to believe Ayano Yu. I don't think he can lie to me...because every time he looks at me, every kiss he gives me is so heart-warming.
While I was lost in thought, Liangwu suddenly reached out and tugged at my sleeve, with a wild excitement on his delicate face: "Here they come! They're coming!"
I looked over Liangwu's shoulder and suddenly saw a familiar tall figure walking out of the glass door of the hospital in the distance.
The tipsy winter sun shone on him, coating his godly, slender body with a warm golden color. I couldn't help but move my lips, wanting to call out his name.
But at this moment, another slender and elegant figure walked out from behind him. It was that angel-like girl!
I covered my mouth and widened my eyes, watching Ayano Yu turn around and gently support the girl and walk to a tall ginkgo tree.
"Don't worry... I will... protect..."
The leaves of the ginkgo tree had not yet completely fallen, and the warm sun of early winter shone through the branches and leaves, falling on the two people in patches. The wind carried Ayano Yu's gentle voice intermittently.
After he said something, he hugged the girl with heartache. Her tears fell like water drops. She tightly grasped Ayano Yu's clothes, slightly raised her head, and looked at Ayano Yu stubbornly.
Ayano Yu's eyes were gentle, and his obsidian eyes were filled with beautiful colors like the sea and the starry sky. He looked at the girl lovingly, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes...
The air was filled with tenderness, and the sunlight seemed to melt in his eyes. The scene was simply captivating. I had to admit that I had never seen such a gentle Ayano Yu.
Yes, how warm the relationship between Ayano Yu and this girl is, how cold I am hiding in the shadow behind the tree! I closed my eyes tightly, feeling that my heart was empty, as if there was a big hole in it, and the cold wind was howling through it...
"Chacha, are you okay?" Liangwu supported me worriedly, "Don't be sad, what's so good about that liar..."
My eyes are a little sore, but when I close my eyes, I can still seem to see him smiling...
I really want Ryogo to be lying, but...but Ayano Yu's gentle eyes tell it all!
It turns out...his confession to me was all a lie...
I returned to school with Liangwu like a zombie, walking on the familiar tree-lined path on campus. I was still in a daze and my mind felt blank.
"Chacha, are you okay?" Liangwu stayed by my side, his tone full of worry.
No, I'm not okay at all .
I forced a smile at him, but I didn't have the strength to speak.
"You..." Liangwu hesitated for a while, and a trace of determination appeared on his fair face, "Chacha, do you recognize the true face of Ayano Yu now?"
My head hurts. I don’t want to hear this at all!
I turned my head away: "I'm going back to the apartment."
"Chacha!" He grabbed me, and his huge strength made it impossible for me to break free. "Think about it carefully, Ayano Yu hasn't been to school for a long time, right? He was with that girl for a whole week!"
Yes...Ryogo is right, Ayano Yu has not come to the academy for a long time, but, but what else can this prove except that I am a big fool!
"I understand." I raised my head, my eyes sore from the sea breeze. "I'm sorry, you're right, Ayano Yu is a big liar. He...his girlfriend is very beautiful, I understand now! Please don't say anymore..."
I feel dizzy... I want to go back to sleep, I hope I can fall asleep...
"Chacha!" Ryogo's face suddenly turned bad, and he shook off my hand. "Are you still running away? What's so good about Ayano Yu that makes you so sad!"
I turned around without saying a word and walked towards the girls' dormitory not far away.
"Chacha, you have seen the true face of Ayano Yu, why are you still obsessed with him?" Ryogo said louder and louder, "Why can't you turn around and look at me!"
I stopped suddenly. Oh, right, Ryogo’s confession... I haven’t replied to him yet.
"I'm sorry, Ryogo." I turned my head with difficulty.
Liangwu was stunned, with an incredible look on his delicate face: "Even if Ayano Yu likes another girl, I still have no chance?"
"I'm sorry, Ryogo, I just treat you as a younger brother. If you can't accept that... it's okay if you ignore me in the future." My heart was numb with pain.
But even so, I cannot deceive anyone, not even my own heart.
"Cha Cha..." He looked at me blankly, standing there in a daze.
After saying that, I strode towards the apartment without looking back.
