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

Thinking of this, I took Shirakawa Haruka's hand, quickened my pace, and walked forward.

Shirakawa Haruka stared at my face, looking thoughtful, before making a guess.

"Guiye, do you think it's possible that that person is..."

"impossible."

I suddenly stopped and interrupted Shirakawa Haruka.

Then he pulled her along and continued walking forward.

That kind of thing is impossible no matter how you look at it...

253. Things that shouldn't be cared about?

“Welcome to visit next time~”

After shopping, Shirakawa Haruka and I each carried a bag and walked out of the supermarket.

The dim streetlights illuminated the entire street. It was no longer rush hour, and there were only a few vehicles passing by on the road, making it much quieter than when people were just leaving get off work.

"Actually, I think we could buy a little more; this isn't enough to eat."

Shirakawa Haruka leaned closer to me and said with a grin.

Looking at the bags they were carrying, I grumbled, "Hmph, we won't be able to carry any more if we sell any more."

"Hehe, I just thought you were in a bad mood, eating more would cheer you up~"

Shirakawa Haruka smiled innocently, revealing his pearly white teeth.

"Fool."

Although I was cursing him, I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart. I didn't expect this guy to be so good at coaxing people.

"Alright, let's go back now. We can eat snacks and play games then~ Hehe~"

After saying that, Shirakawa Haruka playfully nudged my butt with her own.

Seeing her like this, I seemed to be affected by her mood and felt much better than before.

Carrying handfuls of snacks, it took Shirakawa Haruka and me a lot of effort to finally reach the entrance of our apartment building.

Just when we thought we could get home safely, we noticed a figure standing there. It was the girl who had looked for us before.

Why is she still here?

The girl seemed to notice my movement and immediately turned around. When she saw me, her expressionless face changed, and she immediately smiled and hurriedly walked over to me.

"It's you guys again? You're back so soon?"

I didn't answer her question; I just stood there.

Because she was blocking the entrance to the building, I couldn't move forward.

Seeing me like this, the girl didn't know what to say for a moment, and we just stood there awkwardly for who knows how long.

Then, Shirakawa Haruka tugged at my sleeve, leaned close to my ear, and whispered something.

"Why don't we just ignore her past? If you do this, it will only cause more problems."

After hearing what Shirakawa Haruka said, I also think it makes sense.

If you show too much concern here, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.

Although I don't know if the Guiye she's looking for is the same person as me or if it is me, I really don't want to have too much contact with her.

Shirakawa Haruka walked right past the girl, and I wanted to do the same, but the girl stopped me with her hand and grabbed my clothes. She then looked at me.

"You must be Guiye?"

Faced with the girl's sudden action, my mind went blank for a moment. Shirakawa Haruka reacted before I could, immediately pulling me away from the girl and then protecting me behind her.

"what are you doing?"

Shirakawa Haruka revealed a hostile look in her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on the girl's every move.

Faced with Shirakawa Haruka's reaction, the girl seemed to realize the inappropriateness of her actions and hurriedly defended herself.

"No, I didn't do anything. I was just a little too excited. I'm sorry."

Upon hearing the girl's apology, Shirakawa Haruka was no longer as hostile as before, but her tone remained cold.

"Don't always be like a persistent, annoying leech."

"That girl behind you must be Gui Ye. I've come back to find her."

The girl's gaze passed over Shirakawa Haruka and landed on me, who was in the darkness.

I don't know why, but even though I thought it was impossible before, after hearing the girl say that, I suddenly became sure.

She came back to find me, Shi Yihe...

After realizing this, for some reason, my mood became extremely heavy again.

"Who she is is none of your business, don't be so annoying."

After Shirakawa Haruka finished speaking, she turned around and left with me.

Back home, after putting down what I was holding, I still couldn't help but keep thinking about what had just happened.

That person must be Shi Yihe, right?

Actually, when I first saw her on my way home from get off work today, I already knew it was her.

Even though she looked extremely disheveled at that time, that feeling still told me that it was that person who had come back to find me.

And my previous belief that it couldn't possibly be like that was just self-deception.

And now, having heard her say it herself downstairs, I have no reason to continue deceiving myself.

But why did she come back to me? Back then, she suddenly and abruptly disappeared from my world.

Now, I can be sure that seeing her again no longer gives me that same infatuation; the years that have passed have made me completely indifferent to her.

I don't know why I still feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe it's just that I'm upset about being dumped. In fact, after I confirmed that it was her, I even had the thought that I never wanted to see her again.

However, I guess, judging from how she looked in the hallway just now, she might still come looking for me.

But what did she come to see me for?

Did you get tired of playing with other people and suddenly realize how good I am?

I know this is a bad thought, but considering how she dumped me back then, I don't think it's unreasonable to think this way.

Anyway, I shouldn't care too much about that kind of thing anymore...

When she came to her senses, Shirakawa Haruka was already sitting on the edge of the bed, picking up a small cake, tearing open the packaging, and eating it.

"Mmm~ Guiye, this is so delicious!"

As she spoke, Shirakawa Haruka took another big bite, her cheeks puffed out, and then handed me another one.

Seeing that I looked preoccupied again, Shirakawa Haruka moved closer to me, tilting her head with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong now? Are you still thinking about what just happened?"

I didn't say anything, I just nodded.

"Actually, I think you don't need to care so much. It's just that they look alike. There are plenty of people in the world who look alike. So, do you get emo every time you meet someone who looks like her?"

"Just now, when she said she was looking for me, I was sure. It wasn't just that she looked like me, but that she was the one."

I cupped my face in my hands and stared at Shirakawa Haruka.

"I see. So, are you planning to give in to her, or..."

"No way! I don't want to see her at all right now. No matter what her reason is for coming back to me, I don't want to see her."

I lowered my head, my eyes filled with a struggle I myself didn't even realize.

"That's easy. If she bothers you in the future, I'll help you fend her off. Let's eat cake first. No matter what, we can't go hungry. We can talk about those things after we've eaten."

"Okay, okay, sometimes I'm quite envious of you."

I smiled helplessly and nodded, taking the cake from Shirakawa Haruka's hand. My mood improved considerably.

If it weren't for her tonight, I'm afraid I would have been feeling miserable for a long time.

254. Forced to get on the bus, meow!

In the early morning, the bright sunlight slowly streamed in through the window, making people feel warm.

I got up very early today and am standing in front of the mirror right now.

Adjust the position of the hair clip, straighten the lace on the skirt, and finally smooth out the wrinkles on the white silk.

"OK, that's it~ I have to say, I'm really cute~"

Looking at my lovely reflection in the mirror, a sweet smile spread across my face.

Although I've always been a tough guy at heart, I'm not really averse to dressing like this.

After all, a macho man is a macho man, even in a pink dress, he's still a macho man!
