My youth romance is always confusing

Kawasaki and his two companions found a position that was not too far from Hachiman and his companions, but not too close either, so they could just about hear what they were talking about.

"Why should I sit with you?"

Kawasaki deliberately lowered his voice so that others would not hear.

"Shh, don't talk."

Ebina gestured to the two people over there. Hachiman and Yuigahama had already started communicating.

After sitting down, I put my schoolbag on an empty stool beside me.

He twisted his slightly sore neck.

"By the way, what was your score on the Chinese test?"

Hearing Hachiman's question, Yuigahama was startled at first, then shrank her neck, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ah...27 points."

I stared at Yuigahama's face, who was deliberately looking away, and fell silent.

Has this guy ever studied before?

Yuigahama was also irritated by the silence and quickly waved her hand.

"Ah, Xiaoqi, please say something, or you'll make me seem hopeless."

"You're right, you're hopeless."

"You're saying that before it even starts?!"

Yuigahama was dejected.

"Let's do this first."

I took out the test paper I prepared for myself from my schoolbag. Originally, it was my practice paper, but now it is just right to test Yuigahama's level.

"oh oh!"

For some reason, Yuigahama suddenly regained her motivation, but this is a good thing, because it is much better than me who falls asleep as soon as I see the math test paper.

After pushing the test paper to her, I also started reviewing the subjects for the midterm exam.

This time cannot be wasted.

But before that—

"By the way, I have to talk to Komachi first."

Otherwise, that guy would definitely have prepared dinner and was waiting for me at home, which would definitely be inappropriate.

"Okay, that's it."

After editing the text message, I put away my phone and focused on the test paper in front of me.

The pen tip made a rustling sound as it fell on the paper, and the thick ink left one mark after another on the snow-white paper.

There were no other loud noises in the entire study room, and there were not many people, only some conversations.

This kind of place is quite suitable - for two people to communicate.

After a few minutes, I stopped writing and looked at Yuigahama, and found that she was studying the test questions in front of her seriously.

I shouldn't have disturbed her, but the timing was just too good.

"Thanks for the time."

"Eh?"

After a period of silence, Hachiman suddenly spoke, leaving Yuigahama a little overwhelmed.

She stopped writing and just looked at Hachiman.

"Just the literal meaning."

I lowered my head and looked at the test paper, deliberately avoiding looking at her.

Yuigahama was surprised for a moment, but for some reason, she also focused her eyes on the test paper. It seemed that doing so would make her feel at ease.

Maybe it's like the ostrich behavior of a child hiding in bed at night.

"Literally...what does that mean?"

Realizing what might happen next, Yuigahama's voice became a little depressed.

"Nothing, just thank you for your help during this period."

I took a pen and wrote and drew on the test paper, but unfortunately, my attention was no longer on the test paper.

"Help...it would be great if it really helps."

With her eyes lowered, Yuigahama was also filling in the answers on the test paper with a pen. However, compared to Hachiman who was completely absent-minded, she was the opposite. She hoped that the questions on the test paper could distract her at the moment.

“So, don’t do this again.”

I told her this in as calm a tone as possible.

Thanks to the people around us whispering, our conversation didn't seem so abrupt.

If I were in an environment where you could hear a pin drop, I probably wouldn't have said it.

"Why, did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's my problem."

The pen in my hand gradually moved to the edge of the test paper.

"It was just a coincidence that I rescued your dog before. If it weren't for that accident, I'm afraid I would still be alone, so there's no need to come and comfort me."

After a moment of silence, I said to her in a completely different tone from before: "If that's the case, let's just stop here."

"Why do you think so?"

Yuigahama lowered her head and bit her lip.

When she saw Komachi yesterday, she knew that this matter could not be concealed anymore, and it was estimated that soon, what happened between her and Hachiman would be exposed.

But she didn't expect Hachiman's attitude to be so firm.

"We were very happy with Xiaoxue and the others before. Can you say that was also false?"

Yuigahama's words reminded me of what happened recently, Zaimokuza and Totsuka. I have to say that although my interactions with the two were not pleasant in some places, overall it was still quite good.

But that’s why I cannot agree with it.

I thought this experience was based on pure chance, but it was not until yesterday that I realized that it was just wishful thinking. Something based on Yuigahama's guilt caused by gratitude was not what I wanted.

So here, we must draw a clear line with it.

No matter how right she is, because this is my -

"It has nothing to do with those things. It's just my problem."

I closed my eyes, which made me feel more comfortable.

"So, I'm sorry."

"No, Xiaoqi doesn't need to apologize."

Yuigahama's voice was tinged with anxiety. She was afraid that if this continued, her fragile relationship with him would end before it even began.

It shouldn't be like this, no matter what the cause was, the happy memory between the three of them was definitely not false.

"I was the one who concealed this matter at the beginning. The responsibility lies with me."

As she spoke, her voice became lower and the atmosphere between the two of them became awkward.

Yuigahama, who is usually full of energy, is like a child who has made a mistake in front of Hachiman.

In this situation, I don’t know what to say.

I can understand Yuigahama's good intentions, but no matter what, this relationship is built on deception, which is something I cannot accept.

In order to avoid making the same mistake as this gentle girl, I chose to stay away from her.

Alas, I regretted agreeing to help her review. If it weren’t for this agreement, I would definitely have turned around and left now.

But once you promise someone, you have to do it.

So for the next while, I said nothing and waited for her to finish the paper.

After a long while, Yuigahama finally finished the test paper with difficulty.

But she would rather not finish it. She always felt that if she didn't make it clear, then today's conversation would definitely be over.

She doesn't want this.

Whether it's Yukino or Hachiman, they should all be her friends.

It can't end like this unclearly.

She handed over the paper with some trepidation, waiting for the result while also waiting for the decision on their relationship.

I looked at the answer written by Yuigahama.

How to say it....

"Did you really get into Sobu High School? Didn't you get in because you knew someone?"

The whole paper completely shattered my previous fantasies about Yuigahama.

Not to mention whether it is correct or not, there are also many grammatical errors.

I'm afraid that what this guy said earlier about Zaimokuza knowing so many kanji characters came from the bottom of her heart.

I put the paper aside and let out a long sigh.

Really, how can I concentrate on what happened just now if this happens?

It might take me a lot of time just to review the test paper.

"Xiao Qi! After all, I passed the exam and got in!"

Dissatisfied with Hachiman's ridicule of her, Yuigahama's voice unconsciously became louder.

But when everyone around him was whispering, what he did made him stand out from the crowd.

Realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, Yuigahama lowered her head like a quail.

His hands were still rubbing between his legs.

There was no other way but to point out her faults one by one.

"Look here, the words '的', '地' and '得' are all used incorrectly in the sentence. Didn't I pay attention when I was in elementary school?"

"And here, there's no point in using so many inversions. It just makes you look a little deliberate."

“There are problems here and here too.”

Every time I said something, Yuigahama nodded heavily and listened carefully.

The expression on his face was also quite serious.

But I could tell at a glance that she didn't listen.

Because I had a similar expression when I was in math class.

"Oh, forget it, take your time."

I used the dumbest method possible, breaking the problem down into pieces and explaining it to her.

From beginning to end, from effect to cause.

I don’t know how much she can absorb, but I have fulfilled my duty.

"That's about it, and then you can memorize these."

After a while, our study session was almost over. Before leaving, I handed her the composition template that I had written down.

"If you memorize this, you'll be able to pass the exam."

Well, exam-oriented education cannot improve her level, but it can improve her grades in a short period of time.

I just hope that after this time, she can put more effort into her studies.

"Oh! Thank you, Xiaoqi!"

Yuigahama expressed her gratitude to Hachiman with a satisfied look on her face.

This guy, why does it feel like the same as the beginning again? Then wasn’t everything I said in vain?

As expected, I should have just said that and left.

Feeling guilty about my mistake, I decided to go home and eat more of Komachi's food as compensation.
