I'm not a womanizer for Chihaya Aine

So after Qing left the box, Kikuko immediately followed him, jogging out, and was stared at in surprise by her classmates.

Kikuko was running in the corridor and saw from afar the back of the person she admired. It was getting closer and closer, and it was right at hand. Kikuko stretched out her hand... However, when it was about to touch Qing's back, her hand stopped.

What should she say after stopping Qing? Kikuko's mind was blank. She rushed out of her mind. Maybe she wanted to question Qing at first, why he didn't keep his personality like before. However, after calming down, she realized that she was not in the position to question Qing.

But Kikuko forgot that her running all the way here was enough to make Qing turn around to check the situation. When Qing turned around, he saw Kikuko holding out her hand. Although he was a little surprised, Qing still asked calmly: "What's wrong?"

I'm back, everything is back! This indifferent tone, this calm eyes, this is the Liu Zeqing that Kikuko knows!

But Qing's attitude was the same as before, and Kikuko didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a while, she stammered: "Nothing... nothing!"

After saying that, Kikuko turned around and walked away. The moment she turned around, her expression became depressed. Although there were various reasons, it could not cover up the fact that she was cowardly at the last moment.

What on earth am I doing? I followed him here without permission and then left without explaining anything. I'm sure I'll be considered a weird person, right? Thinking of this, Kikuko felt completely drooped.

Kikuko lowered her head and walked back to the box with heavy steps. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the front of her: "How is it, did you say what you wanted to say?"

Hearing someone talking to her, Kikuko raised her head and saw Aine standing opposite her with a warm smile on her face.

"Why are you here?"

Kikuko asked in panic when she saw Aine.

Aiyin put her index finger on her chin and carefully chose her words before answering, "Because your behavior of running away just now made everyone quite worried, and then I also noticed that you left behind Qingqing, so I took the initiative to tell the classmates to see what was going on with you."

"Ah, so that's it... I made everyone worried."

Kikuko lowered her head feeling somewhat guilty.

Aine walked forward and joined Kikuko in the same row, then she changed direction and made a move to walk side by side with Kikuko, but Kikuko still stopped moving forward.

Seeing this, Aiyin could probably guess that Kikuko hadn't been able to say what she wanted to say, or that Qing had given a bad response, so she asked, "Do you still need me to be a mouthpiece for Qingqing?"

Aine didn't directly ask about the result of the conversation between Kikuko and Ao. Although it was actually a hint, it prevented Kikuko from saying the result directly, which was difficult to talk about. It was a very considerate way of asking Kikuko.

Kikuko was not an unaware idiot. She could feel that Aine had been taking care of her feelings and showing kindness to her since she first met her. She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you care about me so much? Obviously, I... I want to use your relationship with Mr. Yanagisawa for that plan!"

Aiyin tilted her head, and answered with a puzzled look: "It's precisely because it involves Qingqing and me that I can't just leave it alone."

Kikuko looked at Aine who was as natural as the sun rising as usual, and a sense of frustration arose in her heart. Finally, she smiled helplessly and said with emotion: "Ah... I seem to understand why Yanagisawa-sama only becomes like that in front of you. I really lost to you."

Ain was a little confused and could only continue to look at Kikuko, waiting for her next reaction. Kikuko also began to talk about her mental journey of admiring Qing. When she was about to talk about her thoughts when she first came out to pursue Qing, Ain's phone suddenly rang.

"Ah, sorry."

Aiyin took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and then she said to Kikuko, "It's Qingqing's call. I have to excuse myself for a moment."

After saying that, Aiyin walked to the window seat in the corridor alone and answered the phone.

"Hey?"

“Hey, Aine, are you still in the box?”

Qing's familiar cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

Aine blinked when she heard this question and asked, "Why do you ask that? Did you leave something in the box?"

"No, I just wanted to ask."

After hearing Qing's answer, Aiyin looked out the window with a more understanding look, and then said very naturally: "Still in the box."

"With the other students?"

Qing continued to ask.

Aiyin remained calm and said, "Yes, everyone is here. Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

"Oh, that's fine. Don't worry about me. I'm hanging up."

After hearing the answer given by Aine, Qing decisively pretended that nothing had happened and was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, I'm not actually in the box now. The person next to me is Kikuko-san."

Seeing that her purpose had been revealed, Aiyin stopped probing and told the truth.

However, Qing on the other end of the phone asked a question that was a little difficult for Aine: "Who is Kikuko-san?"

Aiyin sighed and said, "It's the classmate who just came out to chase you."

A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's really her. So, Aine, you didn't tell the truth just now because you realized that I called you because of her."

Aiyin did not deny Qing's guess, but asked with a bit of inquiry: "That's right, but how did you know that I would come out to see Kikuko-san?"

The real purpose of Qing's question about where Aine was and who she was with was to find out whether Aine had followed Kikuko out. Although Qing asked very tactfully, Aine still heard it.

But Qing's answer to this question was very simple: "I'm not sure whether you will chase me out, so I asked those two questions tentatively. As for why I think you might chase me out, it's because you are Aine."

Aiyin was a little dissatisfied when she heard this and reminded him: "What kind of answer is that? If you really want to talk, shouldn't we have only met once? Why do you act like you know me so well?"

Obviously, Qing would guess that the reason why Aine might chase him out is because she knows Aine's kind and proactive personality. And Aine would remind Qing that according to the setting, you have only met me once, how can you know me so well? This is too cheating.

Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "But we held hands the first time we met, and you didn't say anything at that time? And you even held my hand tightly."

"Well, this..."

Aiyin felt a little embarrassed by what Qing said, so she changed the subject and asked, "What if I really didn't chase him out, or if I didn't tell him the truth just now, what would you do?"

The answer from the other end of the line was a resounding “Nothing.”

Aiyin asked in surprise: "Is it true? What about Kikuko-san?"

A sigh came from the other end of the phone, and then a cold voice said in a statement: "Ain, I am not the sun. I will not illuminate everyone with my light."

If Aine didn't take care of her, then I would pay even less attention to her. This was the next sentence that Qing didn't say, but if he said it, it might make Aine feel a kind of moral blackmail, so Qing didn't say it.

Aiyin reluctantly accepted Qing's answer. Although Qing's answer made her seem a little cold, Qing's action plan, which was completely guided by Aiyin's decision, made Aiyin feel inexplicably happy. So she said, "Don't say that. Anyway, the fact that you called me means that you have the idea of resolving this matter, right?"

"I guess so. So we can put the small talk off until later. I feel like if we keep talking like this we'll forget our original purpose."

Qing confirmed Aine's statement and reminded her that it was almost time to get back to the topic.

For some reason, she likes to talk endlessly when they are on the phone. What is even more incredible is that she does not feel bored at all with these meaningless chats. Qing has no doubt that if this continues, if Ain says there is a bird outside the window, she will also be very interested in responding to Ain and asking her what kind of bird it is, whether it is beautiful, etc.

Aiyin didn't think too much about Qing's reminder, but returned to the point and asked: "Qingqing, what do you think of Kikuko-san?"

Qing on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and then replied: "To be honest, I don't have any impression at all. I guess she came to talk to me as punishment after losing the party game? It's just that I left in a hurry, so she caught up with me without being prepared, and finally escaped at the last minute."

"Why do you have such a strange idea?"

Aine couldn’t help but complain.

Qing explained seriously: "Isn't it normal to go to KTV to play party games? There should be dice cups or playing cards there, right? And if you lose, the punishment is to talk to a marginal person in my class, or even to ask to make friends with me. Is that a normal punishment?"

Aiyin quickly corrected her, "No, no, no, we were just singing, drinking drinks and eating fruit plates. We didn't play any party games. And making friends with Qingqing isn't a punishment at all!"

Qing's relieved voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm glad that Aiyin thinks so. Aiyin, you don't have to worry about my thoughts. As long as you are willing to be friends with me, I will be satisfied. Others don't matter at all."

"No, no, no, the other students in the class think so too! They all hope to become friends with Qingqing!"

Aiyin repeatedly clarified for her classmates.

Aiyin finally understood why Qing was so unsociable. It turned out that she positioned herself as a marginal person from the beginning, and then her cold temperament made other students afraid to approach her, which made her more and more convinced that she was a marginal person in the class.

"Well, let's just assume that's the case. So if that's not the case, why would a classmate who has never crossed paths with me suddenly come after me and come to me without saying a word?"

Qing said in a tone that said, "You have the final say, whatever you say is up to you."

So Aine had to roughly tell her what Kikuko had just told her about her admiration for Ao and her desire to become friends with Ao, except for the plan for Aine to become Ao's friend and then lead Ao to become friends with other people.

Aine had no doubt that Ao would be indifferent to Kikuko if she told others about the plan, and because the plan involved herself and the Aozumi band from last week, she herself didn't want to talk about it.

Qing Jingjing listened to the general situation and quickly thought of a solution. He said to Aiyin: "You talk to her for me... No, you better stop being a mouthpiece. You should give her the phone and let me talk to her in person."

When Qing was halfway through his speech, he suddenly remembered a mouthpiece with a heart that was hurt on both sides, and he thought it would be troublesome to solve the problem himself.

After all, when it comes to speaking frankly, it’s only myself who should be in line with the other person’s impression of “Liu Zeqing”.

Chapter 70: explanation, ridicule, and a sense of déjà vu.

What is the white moonlight? It is something that is out of reach in life. But in fact, it is not so. Many times, you don’t really want the white moonlight. What you need is the desire itself. The meaning of the white moonlight is to give you an object to desire.

It’s just that many people in prison don’t understand this truth. If they understood this truth, they wouldn’t have invested so much emotion in the person named Bai Yueguang.

Liu Zeqing, who has already passed that period and is nearly 30 years old mentally, certainly understands this truth.

So Qing said to Kikuko: "It's not me that you like, but a phantom that is based on my image and overly decorated by your imagination to suit your ideals."

Kikuko had no way to refute it because what Qing said was the truth. She had very limited understanding of Qing, otherwise she would not have been surprised by Qing's gentle expression.

"So, in fact, you don't need to get close to me. The closer you get to me, the more disappointed you will be because of the gap between reality and fantasy. You just need to look at me from a distance and satisfy yourself with the fantasy in your mind. Don't worry, you have this right. As long as it doesn't affect me, I won't resist."

Qing's overly calm and rational voice mercilessly exposed the girl's shameful fantasies.

This is a very rational and useful suggestion. If someone else said this, it might seem a little cruel, but if Yanagisawa Ao said this, it wouldn't be surprising. It's better to say that this kind of Ao is the Yanagisawa Ao that Kikuko knows.

Before Kikuko could respond, Ao immediately said the last words: "Whenever you want to know the real me, and after realizing that the real me is different from the Yanagisawa Ao you imagined, if you still want to be friends with me, then come find me. Now I'm hanging up, say goodbye to Aine for me, and I hope you guys have fun."

Compared to her cold and unyielding tone, Qing's words actually left room for maneuver, at least leaving the possibility of becoming friends with Kikuko. If it were the old Qing, she probably wouldn't want to pay any attention to this girl named Kikuko, after all, she wasn't the "character" that Qing knew.

But after meeting more and more "passerby characters" who are either lively and colorful or mechanical and dull, but are also trying to live, Qing understands that although they are "passerby characters", they are also the protagonists of their own world. So Qing must also take their feelings seriously.

After the call was hung up, Kikuko, who had hardly spoken to Qing, put down the phone in a daze. Seeing this, Aiyin stepped forward to take the phone and asked with some concern: "Are you okay? What did Qingqing say to you?"

In fact, Aiyin had some guesses about what Qing would say, but it was probably not a good thing. You have to know that when Qing was trying to get Deng to muster up the courage to form a band again, even Aiyin thought that what Qing said was too much. Besides that, Qing's style in dealing with people was always strong, and he could often make people speechless.

"Nothing, she was right... and she asked me to say goodbye for you."

Kikuko said somewhat depressed.

Aiyin smiled bitterly and said comfortingly: "Qingqing must have said something very hurtful, such as some overly realistic opinions or facts, but I think she didn't mean any harm... She definitely hopes that you can become a better person."

Kikuko looked up at Aine and said with some emotion: "It seems that you really know her well."

Aiyin scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly, and said with a laugh: "Well...I guess so?"

Kikuko began to walk forward towards the door of their private room, and said thoughtfully: "But... in comparison, I don't know Yanagisawa at all. So, I have decided..."

Aine followed Kikuko's steps, kept walking side by side with her, and looked at her with a little worry.

Kikuko turned around and smiled, "Isn't that good?" and continued, "I will always watch Yanagisawa-san from a distance, and Yanagisawa-san when he was with you."

Aiyin was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know what Qing had said to Kikuko, and couldn't fully understand why Kikuko said such a thing, she still showed a relieved and resolute look, nodded and said: "Watch, you will see a more charming Yanagisawa Qing."

Meanwhile, in the private room, after Aoki, Kikuko, and Aine left one after another, the students in Class 1-A of Hanegaoka started a heated discussion, and even singing became unimportant.

You know, girls of their age have an incredible imagination for gossip. Look at the material they were given to imagine today. Qing, who never participated in class entertainment activities, came here specially for Aine, and then left after only interacting with Aine the whole time.

Then, Kikuko, who had been keeping a low profile in the class but had secretly organized a fan club for Qing, ran after Qing after seeing him leave, regardless of everyone's gaze.

After that, Aine also took the initiative to follow, combined with the fact that Aine and Kikuko had a dispute about Ao while shopping today, and the fact that they hadn't come back for such a long time.

Just imagine it casually, and a youth pain literature of more than 100,000 words was born... To be precise, it is several works, because different people come up with completely different themes. Some people think of Baixue, some think of Xiaosan literature, and some think of the story of youth loser...

Add to that the fact that before Aine transferred here, the only person Ao treated specially was Tomo, and the relationship would become even more complicated. You know, Tomo seemed to have a pretty good relationship with both Ao and Aine, so it wouldn't be surprising what kind of relationship they would develop into.

Thus, several long romance novels of hundreds of thousands of words were born in the minds of the students, involving as many as eighteen different networks of relationships...

It's just that the core of each of these networks is inseparable from one relationship: love and youth, or youth and love. After all, these two people have a strong sense of CP when they are together, and it is an indisputable fact that their attitudes towards each other and other people are completely different.

"No, no, no, Ai Qing or something like that is simply heresy! There's no way Lord Yanagisawa would be suppressed no matter how hard you try!"

"Indeed, someone like Yanagisawa who is indifferent to most things will be proactive and aggressive once he becomes interested in someone."

“That’s what you said, but Aine isn’t a sheep that can be manipulated by others! And I agree with your analysis of Ao-san’s personality, but I think that Ao-san has finally developed an interest in someone, so she should be very fond of that person, right? Maybe because of her excessive doting, she will be pushed over by Aine.”

"Hey, you know what, it sounds very interesting that Qing-san's cold and indifferent face is teased by Xiao Aiyin and becomes shy. I am excited!"

Probably because most of the students here have been studying and living in girls' schools for a long time, they have long been influenced by the legends of their predecessors, and their imaginations about the relationships between girls are very bold and explicit, so they also made very bold guesses about the relationship between Qing and Aine.

Let's put this topic aside for now, because Aine and Kikuko came back together soon. When everyone saw that everything seemed normal with the two of them, and they walked back together, they started to speculate wildly again.

"Sorry, Kikuko-san wanted to talk to Ao about something just now, but it's all right now... By the way, where is the song you ordered?"

As soon as Aine came in, she noticed that everyone's mood seemed a little off, and many people were looking at herself and Kikuko at the door. Although Aine didn't know what was going on, she reacted quickly and took the initiative to chat and try to change the atmosphere.

After being reminded by Aine, everyone finally came back to their senses from discussing Ai and Qing’s relationship, and quickly responded in agreement with Aine’s words.

"Speaking of ordering songs, didn't Qing come back with you? The song she ordered is almost here, right?"

Someone couldn't help it and turned the topic to Qing.

"Well, Qingqing originally ordered it for me, so I'll just sing it. As for her, she's already gone home. She has a part-time job to go to later."

In order to prevent classmates from having a bad impression of Qing's leaving without permission, Aiyin also told a little lie to cover up for Qing.
