Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

At that time, my dad's company was still in operation, and I could be considered a wealthy young man. Although Shi Yihe was just a small-time singer performing in bars, the huge difference in our circumstances did not stop me from pursuing her.

My family didn't have high expectations for my partner, so everyone except my sister was happy to see me with Shi Yihe.

Despite my ardent pursuit, Shi Yihe still got together with me.

I don't know if she really likes me or just likes my privileged family background, but I still hope that we can stay together forever.

But in the end, just as Shirakawa Haruka said, one day, that person suddenly disappeared from my world. No matter if I took the initiative to contact her or tried to find her, I never got a reply.

At first, I stubbornly believed that I would definitely be able to find it if I kept going like this, but in such a big world, how easy is it to find someone who has disappeared?

As time went by, I eventually gave up, and I don't know how long it took to get out of this relationship that ended without a conclusion.

This incident is directly related to my later becoming a scumbag.

As for why Shirakawa Haruka knew about this but didn't react when she saw that face, it's because when I was with Shi Yihe, Shirakawa Haruka and I didn't know each other yet. She only learned about my first love from me.

Looking back now, so much time has passed, and I thought I had moved on from that love affair. But I never expected that just seeing a face that resembles that person would cause my heart to ache.

But that's all in the past, so don't dwell on it too much.

Thinking of this, I breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted my somewhat heavy mood, and a smile returned to my face.

"If your first love came to you a second time, would you still be with her?"

Shirakawa Haruka looked at me with curiosity in her eyes.

"Huh? Why do you ask?"

"I just have a question I'd like to know. If it's convenient for you, could you answer it for me?"

"Of course we'll refuse. We've already been dumped once, do we want to be dumped a second time?"

"Hehe, that makes sense. Okay, okay, let's not talk about that anymore. By the way, have you decided where to go next? Didn't you say you wanted me to treat you? This time it's on me!"

As Shirakawa Haruka changed the subject, she smiled and put her arm around my shoulder.

Yes, it's all in the past now.

Although I've become a loli, I'm actually quite satisfied with the current situation. After all, I haven't lost my support because of Shi Yihe's sudden disappearance. On the contrary, I still have so many people around me who will definitely help me when I need it.

Well, it would be even better if those bad women didn't try to have any ulterior motives towards me...

After calming myself down, I started thinking about what to eat tonight, but I couldn't make a decision for a long time, so I had to leave the decision to Shirakawa Haruka.

Finally, at Shirakawa Haruka's suggestion, we went to a Sichuan restaurant that wasn't very crowded.

Judging from the decor, it seems to be a newly opened store, no wonder there are so few people.

The waiter handed over the menu, and I simply passed it to Shirakawa Haruka.

Shirakawa Haruka wanted to say something, but seeing my current state, she silently accepted the menu.

I know I shouldn't care too much, but for some reason, I can't help but think about it.

Because there were few people, the waiters served the food quickly.

Looking at the very appetizing dishes, I don't know why, but I had no desire to eat them at all.

I ate a little and then didn't want to eat anymore. Shirakawa Haruka knew what was wrong with me, so she didn't say anything for a while and just ate her meal by herself.

When our meal was over, we left the restaurant.

As we walked, Shirakawa Haruka looked at my face, tugged at my hand, and then made a suggestion.

"Guiye, you still seem a little unhappy. How about we go for a walk before going home? That would help you clear your head."

I stopped, looked up, and stared at her.

"No, I want to go home and play video games..."

After all, you know, if I were still out there with Shirakawa Haruka, I might still run into that girl who looks a lot like Shi Yihe.

Although the chances aren't very high, I just don't want to stay outside anymore.

When I told him I wanted to play games, Shirakawa Haruka offered to play with me without hesitation.

"Well, that works too! Playing games, right? Then I'll play with you later."

To be honest, I could tell that Shirakawa Haruka had been trying to make me happy ever since the beginning.

Unfortunately, I'm really not in a good mood right now...

Just as I started walking towards home with Shirakawa Haruka, that voice rang out again.

"Little sister, what a coincidence, we've met again."

251. King of Glory is so much fun!

"Little sister, what a coincidence, we've met again."

The voice rang in my ears again. Shirakawa Haruka and I looked up and saw the girl's smiling face. She looked at me with gentle eyes.

It's kind of like... a perverted lolicon who's set his sights on a target?

Although I know this description might be a bit inappropriate, her repeated appearances in front of me and Shirakawa Haruka, and her attempts to greet us, make one suspicious.

In addition, her face made me not really want to talk to her.

Before I could even speak, Shirakawa Haruka, who knew my situation, stepped forward and said, "Hello, we're in a hurry to get back. Could you let us through?"

The other person's demeanor clearly indicated that she wanted to strike up a conversation with me and Shirakawa Haruka, but Shirakawa Haruka's words effectively eliminated any possibility of her talking to me.

"Oh? Is that so... Alright then, since you're in such a hurry, let's go quickly."

After she finished speaking, the girl made way for me and Shirakawa Haruka.

Without thinking, I walked past her, and Shirakawa Haruka, whom I was holding, had no choice but to quicken her pace.

"Um, are you okay?"

Shirakawa Haruka stared at my profile and asked tentatively.

Realizing that this had nothing to do with Shirakawa Haruka, and that she had just been trying to make me happy, I knew I couldn't be cold to her, so I forced another smile.

"It's alright, I just don't want to stay outside anymore, let's go back quickly."

"Mmm~ Let's play games together when we get back!"

Haruka Shirakawa's voice was full of energy. I knew she was trying to cheer me up and make me happy too.

But I just can't seem to get into a good mood, and Shirakawa Haruka noticed that, so we didn't talk much for the rest of the way.

We hadn't actually walked very far, so we quickly arrived at the entrance of the apartment building.

Because the building has been in disrepair for many years, the lights in the stairwell are broken. Looking at the dark stairwell, I never felt anything before, but now I can't help but feel scared.

Even so, I didn't say anything and took Shirakawa Haruka's hand as we walked towards the stairs.

In the darkness, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, but faintly, one could hear the sound of dripping water coming from the stairwell upstairs. The crisp sound echoed in the stairwell, giving off an eerie feeling that made one even more frightened.

But I still didn't say anything. Finally, Shirakawa Haruka couldn't hold back any longer, and her voice came from beside me, "Kiyo, I...I'm a little scared. What's that sound of water? Could it be..."

"Don't overthink it, let's hurry up and go up."

I gently comforted Shirakawa Haruka, and at that moment I could clearly feel her palms sweating profusely.

Although I was a little scared, I wasn't as scared as she was.

And for some reason, seeing Shirakawa Haruka so frightened actually made me less afraid; I even felt a desire to comfort her. Of course, this was probably also related to the fact that what had just happened occupied most of my mind, making me less afraid of the darkness around me.

Using the dim light of my phone's flashlight, I could barely see the road ahead. I held Shirakawa Haruka's hand as we walked forward, trying to find topics to talk about.

"When I'm not home, how do you manage going up and down the stairs by yourself?"

"Well, I can only grit my teeth and go up and down the stairs despite my fear. Also, Guiye, could you slow down a bit? I'm a little scared."

"It's okay, I'll always be here. The faster we go up, the faster we can get home. Once we're home, we won't be afraid anymore."

As I comforted Shirakawa Haruka, I tightened my grip on her hand, unsure if that would have any effect.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. Soon, I took her hand and we arrived at the front door.

"Should we go to my place or yours?" I asked.

“Let’s go to your house,” Shirakawa Haruka replied in a soft voice, still seemingly afraid.

When I heard Shirakawa Haruka say she was coming to my house, I suddenly remembered that my room was still messy and I hadn't tidied it up yet. But since it was Shirakawa Haruka, it didn't really matter.

The first thing I did upon entering the room after unlocking the door with the key was to turn on the lights. The bright light illuminated the entire room and dispelled my fear.

After a long day at school, I finally got home and collapsed onto my soft bed, rolling around in bed.

My body felt as if it were being healed by the soft touch. In an instant, all my bad moods and fatigue faded away. Shirakawa Haruka, who came in after me, closed the door and sat down on the edge of my bed.

After rolling around in bed for a bit, feeling much better, I took out my phone. "Come on, log in!"

"Okay, log in."

Shirakawa Haruka responded to me and then took out her phone as well.

When we talk, we usually play Honor of Kings. Since it doesn't mention other games here, we'll assume it's that game.

When I saw Shirakawa Haruka's avatar light up, I casually pulled her into the game's team interface.

She seemed to see that I was in the support role, so she quickly switched to the marksman role for herself, so that we could play together.
