Although Yang No had some guesses in her mind when she saw Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka's words completely destroyed the last bit of hope in her heart.

"Xiao Jing, are you sure about your feelings for Miss Fengzi?"

"That's about right." Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged pretending to be relaxed. She was also in a panic, so she didn't pay much attention to Haruno's strange look.

After all, this was the first time for Shizuka Hiratsuka to tell her bestie or good friend about her feelings for another woman.

"Although I'm not sure what my future will be like, I feel like I'll be quite happy if I'm with her." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair and let go.

I have already begun to accept Fujiko in my heart, and Shizuka Hiratsuka cannot deceive herself about this feeling!

If in this situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka still wants to hide and avoid Fujiko's feelings, Shizuka Hiratsuka will never be able to forgive herself.

"Are you very happy?" He nodded slowly, saying that his mind was full of thoughts, but at this moment, Yang Nai had no idea what was going on in his mind.

What should I do? As a friend, should I give Xiao Jing my full blessing? And then, should I hide my own thoughts and retain the right to stay by Hiratsuka Shizuka's side?

Yono believed that if she took the initiative to speak, Hiratsuka Shizuka would never know what she was thinking.

Neither Fujiko, who has a high possibility of being the one to do it later, nor Sachiko Hiratsuka, who has already seen the clues, will take the initiative to tell Shizuka Hiratsuka about their own affairs.

Then I can maintain my current identity and be a lifelong best friend of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

This seems to be pretty good.

No wonder!!

"Hu~" He let out a long breath, and when Yang Nai opened his tightly closed eyes again, there was no longer any confusion or evasion in them.

"You should know exactly what you want, right, Yukinoshita Haruno!"

"Um, Haruno, what's wrong with you?" Finally recovering from her memories, Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly discovered that something was wrong with Haruno who was sitting opposite her.

"Nothing, Xiaojing, something just suddenly came to my mind~" With a soothing smile on her face, Yang No looked at the watch on her wrist and winked playfully.

"Xiao Jing, I suddenly have somewhere I want to go. You should be alright, right?~"

Chapter 353 343 Do you remember where this place is?

"Hey Yang Nai, where are we going?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was sitting in the passenger seat of Yangno's car with her seat belt fastened, turned her head away in confusion, feeling a little strange.

"Hehe, you'll know when we get there~ Just look forward to it, Jing!~" With her finger on her lips, Yang No tilted her head politely towards Hiratsuka Shizuka, skillfully dispelling Hiratsuka Shizuka's desire to continue asking questions.

"Okay, you girl have always been a weird one." Shaking her head with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka adjusted the slope of the passenger seat and leaned on it comfortably.

"I want to see what you want to do."

"Hehe~" Without answering Shizuka Hiratsuka's words, Yono turned on the car stereo, called up the list of Shizuka Hiratsuka's favorite songs, and then started the car smoothly.

As they drove along, although normal chatting was not a big problem, Shizuka Hiratsuka also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the mood of Haruno, who was sitting next to her and driving with a smile on her face.

"What happened?" Shizuka Hiratsuka folded her arms across her chest and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although she didn't say it, Hiratsuka Shizuka was very familiar with the road that Yang No was driving on.

This is the road back to Chiba.

She wanted to take me back to Chiba without saying a word. Could it be that Yang No had a conflict with her family again?

This thought flashed through her mind, but then Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head.

This shouldn't be the case. Ever since he broke into the Yukinoshita family that time, the Yukinoshita family has completely relaxed their restrictions on Haruno. Hiratsuka Shizuka believes that the shrewd Mrs. Yukinoshita will not provoke him again because of Haruno's affairs.

After all, although it may sound a bit unpleasant, in Chiba, the Hiratsuka family can indeed cover the sky with one hand.

Don't ask, the only thing you can say is that the biggest gang in Chiba and the powerful head of the police are long-time friends and collude with each other.

Moreover, after Haruno took over the independent management of the company, the results in recent years have been very good. The company is thriving in Haruno's hands. Hiratsuka Shizuka doesn't think that Haruno will do anything to anger Mrs. Yukinoshita.

Even if it was, Yang No would not do something like this, bringing herself back to Chiba, as if asking Hiratsuka Shizuka to help her find a cause of trouble.

"Then what's the reason?" Shizuka Hiratsuka gritted her teeth, feeling a bit headache. She then secretly glanced at Haruno, who was humming along to the rhythm and looked very lively.

Well, there's no need to ask. Shizuka Hiratsuka knows Haruno very well. Once she falls into this state, no matter how she asks, Haruno will not tell her what happened before she reaches her destination.

"No matter what happens, I can't let Haruno suffer any injustice." Slowly clenching her fists, Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded secretly.

There is no such thing as being reasonable or unreasonable. Shizuka Hiratsuka has always been one who helps her relatives and not the others!

. . .

"Oh, oh~ We're here!" Yang No raised her heads in a weird way and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who came down from the passenger seat with a smile.

"How about it, Xiaojing, do you know where this is!~"

"Are you kidding?" He shook his head in amusement, but Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes flashed with strong memories. This place was where she had left behind many years and memories.

"This is Sobu High School. I have spent much more time here than you, Haruno." Looking at the familiar school gate and teaching building in front of her, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked with emotion.

"That's right!~" With her hands behind her back, Yang Noi walked to Hiratsuka Shizuka's side and looked at the school gate in front of her with the same nostalgic look.

"I still remember the first time I saw you, Xiaojing, at the school gate!~"

"She's clearly a Chinese language teacher, but she's wearing a strange white coat. She's also so nonchalant when she's standing at the door examining students. She doesn't look like a female teacher at all."

"What's wrong with that? I'm just being myself. Don't my students like my unpretentious attitude?" Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile. She really has never regretted becoming a teacher.

Although there will always be separations and troubles, when I see the students I have taught shining in their lives and respecting and grateful to me, that sense of accomplishment is truly irreplaceable!

"The most important thing is that I never thought that the weird teacher at the school gate would actually become my homeroom teacher~" Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile, the smile on Yono's lips became even sweeter.

"Now that I think about it, it's such a shame. Xiaojing has been my homeroom teacher since freshman year, but it wasn't until sophomore year that I became familiar with her. I wasted a whole year!"

"That's all your own fault. You always look so smiling and seem to have a good relationship with the students around you. But I could tell at a glance that something was wrong with you. I tried to talk to you a few times, but you just brushed them off with a smile." She turned her head away with amusement. When Yang No mentioned it, Shizuka Hiratsuka also remembered the headache she had during that time.

"If it wasn't that time in my second year of high school..." Her words were slightly hesitant. Even though the incident had passed and Haruno seemed to have moved on from it, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't want to bring up this slightly painful memory in front of Haruno.

"If it weren't for that accident in my second year of high school, my relationship with Xiaojing wouldn't be as good as it is now~" Yang Noi smiled and continued Hiratsuka Shizuka's words. Her eyes were full of joy and gratitude as she looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"I'm so lucky that Xiaojing is my homeroom teacher!~"

"Really?" A smile appeared on her face again, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with a smile, and looked at Haruno with pretended disgust.

"I'm really troubled. You were not obedient at all when you were a student!"

"Even now, this annoying personality hasn't changed at all!"

"Hehe!~ That's why I need Xiaojing as my teacher to educate me well!~" Putting her arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, Yang No took a step forward.

"Let's go, we're a little pressed for time, but there's still a lot to go!~"

. . .

Although she had no idea what Haruno was going to do, Shizuka Hiratsuka still followed Haruno obediently for the entire afternoon.

Milk tea shops, cinemas, bowling alleys, indoor fighting arenas, rooftops for watching fireworks, mountain roads for racing, fun toy stores, clothing malls, food courts...

Although they just went into many places to take a look and then left, this afternoon, Yang No really took Hiratsuka Shizuka to many places.

"Huh~ The wind is still a bit strong at night!~"

Letting go of Hiratsuka Shizuka's hand, Yang No looked around, and walked with a smile to the lawn on the riverside slope below the road. She didn't care about the dust and dirt and just went straight down.

"Hey, Xiaojing!~" Looking up at the bright moon that had risen completely, Yang No lowered her head to look at the slowly flowing river and the surrounding grass. Finally, she turned her head and cast her bright eyes at Hiratsuka Shizuka who was standing behind her.

"Do you remember where this is?"

Chapter 354: When did I become like this?

"here?"

Standing behind Yang No, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached into her trouser pocket and took out a cigarette, then gently lit it for herself and put it in her mouth.

"Hu~" She exhaled a long puff of smoke, looked at the riverside lawn in front of her that seemed a little unfamiliar but remained in her memory, and Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and shook her head.

"Of course I remember. Isn't this the place where a little girl from the second year of high school complained about everything and cried like she wanted revenge on society?"

"Hehe~" Hearing the teasing in Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Yang No did not feel dissatisfied, but just waved at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"What's wrong? Why do you suddenly want to come here?" With a cigarette in her mouth, Shizuka Hiratsuka took two steps forward, put her hands on the ground and sat next to Yang No.

"Hey, Xiaojing." She took a deep breath of Shizuka Hiratsuka's breath coming from beside her. Although it was mixed with the smell of cigarettes, which she usually didn't like, Yang No felt so safe and happy at this moment.

"When I was here, I really thought of so many terrible things. Even now, when I think back on those things, I can't help but feel palpitations and disgust."

"So, children of different ages should think about things of that age." Nodding slowly, after hearing what Haruno said, Shizuka Hiratsuka thought of the scene when she drove here and saw Haruno for the first time by the river.

In response to her own call, she slowly turned her head and exchanged glances with Hiratsuka Shizuka. Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart was gripped by Haruno's eyes at that time.

What a sight that is!

Pain, suffering, hysteria, despair, sorrow...

Shizuka Hiratsuka never thought she would see so much negativity in the eyes of a high school student.

At that moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka was deeply shocked.

It was also at that moment that Shizuka Hiratsuka made up her mind that no matter what happened to the girl in front of her, she would pull her back from the abyss!

at all costs!

Just for that look that touched me in an instant.

"But now that I think about it, the reason why I gave up on myself at that time was a little ridiculous." With her hands clasped on her knees, Yang No's tone did not contain any complaints or resentment when she talked about the memories that Hiratsuka Shizuka did not want to recall.

She just smiled faintly, her eyes looking at the stars above her head, but she seemed not to see the stars in the sky reflected in her eyes.

"Although I always thought I was more mature than people my age, I was still a high school student at the time, and there were so many things I couldn't understand!~"

"There's no problem. Haruno has done a great job. Even I wouldn't have handled what happened back then more severely." Shaking her head slowly, Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and touched Haruno's hair.

"It's your weird mother and family. Many things can be solved by talking it out, but the inexplicable way they handle things is really infuriating!"

"No~ I believe that if it was Xiaojing, she would be able to handle it much stronger than me!" Shaking her head slightly, Yang Noi smiled and glanced sideways at Shizuka Hiratsuka beside her.

"If it were Xiao Jing, she would have angrily shouted, 'No one can force me to do something I don't want to do,' while waving her fists and rushing out of the house~"

"What? Am I so violent in your mind?" Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at Yono unhappily. Just as she was about to retract her arms, Yono quickly hugged her in her arms.

"Xiao Jing, you know, I have never regretted experiencing so many things that made me devastated and angry." After hugging Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, Yang No also leaned on Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, and rested her head on Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder.

"Because I know very well that if I had not experienced those things, I would not have been destined to be with you, Xiaojing!" With her eyes sparkling, Yang Noi looked intently at the profile of Hiratsuka Shizuka in front of her. The brilliance in her eyes was brighter than the starry sky above her head.

"If the reason for our relationship was such an annoying thing, then we are both so unfortunate." After exhaling a puff of smoke with amusement, Shizuka Hiratsuka took out a small portable ashtray and put the cigarette butt in it.

"Hehe~" The little head rubbed against Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder. Ignoring her messy hair, Yang Noi enjoyed the reassuring warmth coming from the side of her face.

"It's really amazing. I never believed in gods before, but after meeting Xiaojing, I have thanked the gods more than once for letting me meet you, Xiaojing~"

"That's right, you don't believe it." Thinking of what she saw and heard when she visited the shrine on the first day of the new year, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked helplessly.

"I'm really grateful to you, Xiaojing~" Ignoring Shizuka Hiratsuka's complaints, Yang No seemed to be lost in her own memories, holding Shizuka Hiratsuka's arm and speaking slowly but firmly.

"I was able to break free from the constraints of my family, to have the freedom of life I have now, to work hard and strive according to my own ideas. All of this is brought to me by you, Xiaojing!"

"If it weren't for Xiaojing, I don't know how tiring my life would be now. I might still be disguising myself and living with a fake smile every day in order to maintain the honor and face of the Yukinoshita family." A hint of realization flashed in her eyes, and Yang No knew that her guess was very likely to come true.

If Shizuka Hiratsuka had not helped me back then.

"You don't have to be so polite. According to my personality, I will definitely help if I know." Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her hair with her free hand and smiled at Haruno beside her.

But her heart felt inexplicably tense.

For some reason, she could feel that Yang Nai's current condition was very wrong, and she also began to feel inexplicably panicked.

"So, I swore in my heart that I would always stand by your side, Xiaojing, and support you with my own strength. If my existence can help you relieve some of your stress and worries, Xiaojing, that would be the happiest thing for me!~" She looked at Yang Nai with twinkling eyes, and the emotion in her eyes became more and more intense.

"I feel happy when I take you out to play, Xiaojing. When you drag me out to drink and complain, I feel wronged and sad for you. Every time I visit Aunt Sachiko and Uncle Shengli, I feel at ease when they look at me with appreciation. And when you call me out to accompany you and talk, I feel very happy."

"Yang No..."

"But people are never satisfied with their own extravagant demands and desires, right?" Her eyes flushed slightly, and Yang No's voice began to tremble, but her eyes were only staring at Hiratsuka Shizuka, without any dodging.

"Xiao Jing, when did I become like this?!"
