After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

"Ah~~ That's great~ It's unbelievable that modern people don't have cell phones or anything like that."

After the two people added each other, they each sent each other a box of emoticon question marks.

"If you have time, let's go out and play together."

"Senior, you are a candidate, right?"

Senior Xun raised her fist mischievously and hit herself on the head.

"Come to think of it... But... It's okay, people always need to relax~"

"Yeah, indeed."

"So, why don't you come to the Executive Committee's celebration party? After the class meeting, gather in the conference room~ Let's have a lively party at the end!~~"

As if he had been refueled, Cheng Huixun raised his fist high.

……

Although it was already dusk and the crowds had mostly dispersed, the atmosphere of the cultural festival still lingered.

When Chaoyang returned to the classroom, he still felt the cheerful atmosphere.

The class meeting before school was just a formality. There was nothing important to say. The class monitor just spoke empty words on the stage, while the people below were chatting and waiting to decide where to hold the celebration party.

"Would you like to go to the Executive Committee celebration party later?"

"I'm not going... Anyway, no one invited me..."

Chaoyang casually asked about Hikigaya behind him. Hikigaya was lying on the table with his schoolbag packed long ago, waiting for the uncomfortable atmosphere to end and preparing to retreat as soon as possible.

[Huh? It was because of me that the Great Sensei didn't self-destruct during the cultural festival, and Sagami didn't run away. So, the Great Sensei didn't verbally abuse her in front of everyone to save her, making Sagami the victim and the perpetrator the one who had to bear the brunt of it all... and then she suffered the cold shoulder, and her shoe closet was even filled with trash. Speaking of which... the Great Sensei is a true dark hero in a sense... We should at least invite him out of courtesy.]

However, his actions also hurt the people around him because he does not acknowledge his own achievements. He clearly solved the problem, but in the end he found an excuse that it was just an accident and could not say that it was his own credit.

But after all, there were people who understood his self-sacrifice, and quite a few of them, so he himself could not take it seriously.

But the fact is that everyone owes him, and the debt is very heavy.

He clearly never liked owing others anything, even when he and Yuigahama ate bread, they would clearly separate and calculate the payment. But in a sense, he felt like someone owed him millions without even saying a word.

A normal cycle should be to accept the commission, complete the commission, and finally happily collect the reward to end the cycle.

However, Hikigaya neither accepts thanks nor acknowledges the credit, leaving those who want to repay him stuck in a cycle of pain.

Thinking of this, Chaoyang wanted to beat up the teacher.

"Why are you so awkward?"

"Huh? What happened all of a sudden?"

Hikigaya was startled by Chaoyang's inexplicable words.

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel a little unhappy..."

"It doesn't matter... there are plenty of people who are unhappy with me anyway."

"Maybe, but there are many people who like you."

"?"

"Yukinoshita can prove what I said."

"..."

Hikigaya was very troubled and didn't know how to communicate with Chaoyang.

"Haha, sorry for saying something weird again... Do you want to go to the Executive Committee's celebration party together?"

"No, I'm not going. I have other things to do. I have to record the final work of the Miscellaneous Team, compile the records of other team members, and write a formal report. So..."

"Looking for a quiet place where you can concentrate and compile your report?"

"..."

[Is this guy really a psychic? He actually knows what I'm trying to say? If I get along with him now, I wonder if he can teach me a few tricks.]

Hikigaya complained in his heart, but it was just a thought at best.

After standing up, nodding and bowing, he put on his schoolbag and walked into the corridor.

"So……"

Chaoyang was just about to get up and meet up with Yukinoshita first, and then go to the executive committee's celebration banquet together.

"Ok?"

Chaoyang saw Yuigahama separated from his own small group in another corner, picked up his backpack and rushed out.

He must be chasing after Hikigaya's back.

Where's Yukino going to celebrate? Yuigahama will probably drag her to join Hayama and the others...

"Hey, the class is going to the after-night festival later~ Wanna come with us?"

Ye Shan walked over and asked in a friendly manner.

"No, I didn't help much with the class. Besides, Sagami should be there, and you know what the situation is. If he goes, it will be awkward for everyone. Of course, it's mainly her fault..."

The people in Chaoyang are too lazy to make excuses about work, so they just state the reason for not going directly. As long as the other party is unable to solve this problem, they will naturally not invite him again.

Ye Shan was just asking out of courtesy and it was impossible for him to go that far.

"Is that so... But everyone saw you working around before the cultural festival, so at least you weren't as unhelpful as you said... Ah, it was just that skipping work when you were on duty with Hikigaya was a bit excessive."

"Hmm? Strictly speaking, it was Hikigaya who went too far. I was just punishing him. Well, I'm going to attend the Executive Committee's celebration party, so see you on Tuesday."

"Well, I won't force it then. Have fun."

After the class meeting ended, Chaoyang stood up and walked towards the executive committee meeting room.

Just as I was walking, I started to have random thoughts out of habit to kill time.

[Speaking of which, why did Yukino and Hikigaya go to the Service Club together? It's just speculation... maybe it's Yukino's gentleness. She understands Hikigaya, and then waits for the arrival of the school's hated idiot in the Service Club. She imitates Hikigaya's behavior and stays with him, pretending nothing happened while repaying the favor she owes him. ...I hate this damn gentleness. I feel like I'm being self-conquered.]

"Ah~ Here it comes, here it comes~ Hey~~ Chaoyang is just missing you~~"

"Um?"

Before Chaoyang reached the door, he saw a group of people standing in front of the conference room with bags on their backs.

The first person to notice Chaoyang approaching was Yukinoshita, followed by Cheng Huixun who trotted over.

He pulled Chaoyang's sleeve and quickly brought him in front of everyone.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go!~~"

Following the crowd, Chaoyang and Xueno slowed down their pace and stopped at the end of the line to start chatting.

"Hmm? Didn't you go to the Service Club?"

"Why should I go?"

"Uh... nothing much, it's just that Yuigahama will probably invite you to their celebration party."

"I knew, so I didn't go."

"...You are so gentle..."

106. Can’t let her continue to make trouble (Happy New Year)

Inside the Karaoke box

Everyone had been celebrating for two hours, but Chaoyang and Yukino did not participate and just sat in the corner.

He watched everyone perform quietly. Although someone invited him to sing from time to time, he politely declined.

Until Senior Sister Xun looked at the time and realized it was getting late.

As a responsible student union president, Cheng Huixun will not let the high school students play too late.

……

"Everyone, it's great that this year's cultural festival was able to conclude successfully... Thank you so much, everyone, for your hard work. Please be careful on your way back~~"

After Cheng Huixun's final speech of the day, everyone said thank you for your hard work and then the people in their uniform school uniforms dispersed.

Chaoyang and Yukinoshita were also on their way home.

"I'm going out for a while tomorrow."

Chaoyang thought about it and felt that it was necessary to report.

"...With my sister?"

"Uh... you know..."

Chaoyang suddenly felt that he had wasted half a day's feelings.

"Well... my sister has told me that she wouldn't do anything without a clear purpose. So I can probably guess. And even if you refuse, it's useless. If she doesn't get what she wants, she'll use all her connections to force you."

"...Well, I'm not the one who's at a disadvantage anyway."

Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, closed her eyes and thought for a long time. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she stopped moving forward, turned to face Chaoyang and spoke.

"My sister... although she appears flawless and elegant in public, she once stumbled and tried to resist the adult world, only to be trampled and ravaged in the end, forced to resign herself to humiliation. But because of this, she became dark and perverse, playing with the world in her own despair. I... I don't want my sister to continue like this... If youth has many different endings... can you make my sister's ending a little more perfect this time? Chaoyang... can you accept my commission? Can you change my sister like you changed me?"

"I didn't change you... You were changed by your journey and what you saw..."

"..."

"But...her behavior really did make me unhappy."

"I like beautiful and charming older sisters, but I don't like beautiful and charming older sisters who are also gloomy and dangerous. So this is not your request, this is my own will and desire. I never need to take action and borrow others' names."

"Well, yes, I was superfluous."

……

Sunday noon

The meeting place was arranged on a bridge, Mihama Bridge in Chiba Prefecture

Chaoyang, who was walking on the road, had already started complaining.

"Don't normal people meet in places like coffee shops, bars, parks, and squares? Why do you have to meet in such a secluded place... Doesn't everyone have a car like yours, you idiot!"

It takes 30 minutes to walk from the nearest Kenmi Riverside Station to the meeting bridge. Although for Chaoyang this distance is not much different from a 100-meter sprint, he is still dissatisfied with the choice of meeting place.

In less than a few minutes, Chaoyang reached his destination.

Haruno stared at her phone, probably killing time. The light from the screen illuminated her beautiful face. However, she seemed quite bored, giving off an even more aloof impression than usual.

I don’t know if I felt the sight, but when I looked up, I saw the rising sun.

Chaoyang vaguely felt that she seemed to smile.

Come forward.

"It's very rude to keep a lady waiting."

"There's no way around this location... the subway station is far away."

"Really? I think your legs are more useful than a car."

The cold wind blowing in his face made Yang Nai shrink his neck and bury his face in his coat.

Seeing this, Chaoyang said

"Let's go...it's cold so don't stay on the bridge anymore."

Yang Nai hummed unhappily.

"You're such an unromantic person! Shouldn't you take off your clothes and put them on me at this moment? I deliberately created this scene."

Chaoyang looked down and confirmed that he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

"Uh...it's not that I don't want to, but the objective conditions are a bit difficult."

Yang No blurted out briskly

"How about you hold me?"

"Then I really hugged you..."

[Do you really think I'm a virgin? Do you make me blush when you flirt with me? You're a jerk who doesn't take advantage of an opportunity...]
