Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

When we meet in real life, you instantly become a coward, at a loss, and speechless.

Beiyuan Zun was silent for a long time before he said dryly, "Well, well, have you eaten yet?"

Shijo Shinki looked down at the dessert on her table, then looked at him, suddenly turned her head away, and her shoulders shook wildly. It was obvious that she was trying hard to hold back her laughter.

Kitahara Takashi also noticed that Shijo Shinki was smiling, and his face began to turn red little by little, with a tendency to spread from his face to his neck.

"You are laughing, right?" Kitahara Tsutomu's voice was both shy and annoyed.

"No."

Shijo Shinki answered decisively.

As the daughter of the Shijo family, she has received professional training.

No matter how funny something is, she won't laugh.

Well, unless you hold back.

"You're absolutely laughing!"

"I told you not to."

"Then turn around."

Shijo Maki turned around and saw that Kitahara Takashi's face, which was very similar to Tanuma Tsubasa's, was flushed with shame and anger. She could no longer hold back and laughed out loud, "Hahaha!" just like she usually laughed at Tanuma Tsubasa.

picture!

It's so similar!

He can't talk to girls and blushes when he makes eye contact with them. Isn't this just Tsubasa Tanuma?

There are so many similarities between them, is it a coincidence?

Shijo Shinki was smiling, and Kitahara Takashi also curled up the corners of his mouth imperceptibly.

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

What Shijo Shinki thought was a coincidence was actually a long-planned preparation by Kitahara Takashi.

Because the system has provided detailed information about Tanuma Tsubasa, Kitahara Takashi knows all his preferences, personality, and way of speaking.

As long as I imitate Tanuma Tsubasa well, Shijo Shinki will take the bait.

It's as easy as fishing for black bass.

17. Oh no, I became a military advisor (seeking votes)

"She doesn't like Tsubasa at all!"

"She accepted the confession. Doesn't she have any opinions of her own?"

"This shameless, casual and frivolous woman."

In the dessert shop, Shijo Shinki was complaining to Kitahara Tsutomu, saying how bad her best friend was.

Originally, the two of them were just having a normal chat.

But when Kitahara Takashi 'accidentally' mentioned feelings, Shijo Shinki couldn't stop.

Perhaps he had been holding it in for too long, and seeing that Kitahara Takashi and Tanuma Tsubasa were too similar and had a certain familiarity, and thinking that the two didn't know each other anyway, Shijo Shinki simply used him as a tree hole and vented all his dissatisfaction.

"Girls' friendship is so fragile."

If Kitahara Takashi remembered correctly, this was the person who said a few minutes ago that Kashiwagi Nagisa was her best friend.

Now she has become a shameless and frivolous woman.

But Kitahara Takashi didn't say it.

He knows very well that when a girl complains about her best friend in front of you, you should never agree with her or complain about her.

Because if you really do this, she might start to hate you in her heart.

He just treated this matter as gossip.

"Shijo-san, are you just going to sit there and watch?"

Of course, he couldn't remain silent.

Even if you are a good listener, sometimes you still need to give an appropriate response.

"Aren't you going to take action?"

The four concubines' moist and tender lips left the straw and brushed their hair. "Take action? The unruly people's idea is really barbaric."

"How could I possibly do something as shameless as stealing a man?"

"Love between students is like playing house. It can't last forever."

"Those two will break up soon anyway."

"I don't need to do anything. I just need to leisurely drink tea and wait for them to break up."

"So, it doesn't matter who he's dating..."

Kitahara Tsutomu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

Among a hundred couples, only one can make it to the end of campus romance.

Graduation season is breakup season.

'I didn't expect she was still sober.'

Kitahara Tsutomu had just praised Shijo Shinki in his heart, but the next second, he silently withdrew the praise.

I saw the four concubines in front of him, shedding pearls and wiping tears at the same time: "As long as he comes back to me in the end, it's enough."

Kitahara Takashi: “…”

I thought you were a representative of independent and sober women in the new era.

I didn't expect you to be so stubborn.

I covered myself with a small quilt under the bridge and wiped my tears inside. After wiping the tears, I didn’t care anymore and everything I said was yes, yes, yes.

"...Are you willing?"

For some reason, Kitahara Tsutomu suddenly thought of a memory of his and suddenly asked this question.

"Humph!"

Shijo Zhenfei raised her head proudly, like a proud white swan, and said in an arrogant tone: "I am different from you fragile guys. I am a strong man with a heart of steel."

Beiyuan Zun stared at her and asked, "For the next three years, you have to endure them being affectionate in front of you."

"Watching their countless intimate physical encounters."

"In the dead of night, when the two of them blushed and moved, they exchanged warmth and said they would never separate."

"Looking at each other's eyes, they will eventually separate and find you to just get by once the novelty wears off and their needs are met."

"When she's with you, she still thinks of him in a trance."

"You're doing something you've done countless times with him before, and you're the only one feeling the stirrings of love and feeling happy."

"She was instinctively polite, afraid that you would be angry, so she talked about her ex as worthless and downplayed it, but she would still unconsciously curl up the corners of her mouth when she thought of him. Even so, you didn't care."

Shijo Shinki was still able to act strong at the beginning.

But the more Kitahara Takashi spoke, the more uncomfortable Shijo Shinki felt.

Just imagining the scene makes me feel uncomfortable and restless.

"As expected, no one can let go of this kind of thing."

Kitahara Tsutomu stared at Shijo Shinki's reaction, which was the same as his own at that time, and his eyelids drooped slightly.

He understood how Shijo Shinki felt at this moment.

Because the imagination that you are proud of will uncontrollably form images in your brain at this time, and restore their movements, expressions, and voices in an extremely detailed manner, with a real sense of picture. Just thinking about it will make you feel suffocated.

Kitahara Takashi has experienced this feeling.

He was strictly educated by his parents since childhood, and he didn't have much of a romantic relationship in college and always studied hard.

My first relationship started after graduation, very late.

Kitahara loved his first girlfriend very much and was very happy with her. However, she had an unforgettable love affair with her because the man's family was very poor.

So sometimes when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Kitahara Takashi would always wonder, was it really love when she was with him?

Does she really like herself?

Beiyuan Zun didn't know and didn't understand, but when he thought of everything she had experienced before, Beiyuan Zun felt itchy all over and his chest was tight.

That's a kind of heartache.

But he couldn't blame anyone.

Blame her?

What's wrong with someone meeting a boy they like and wanting to be with him?

But that damn Kitahara Takashi just can't reconcile or let go.

My heart aches every time I think of it.

In the end, Takashi Kitahara chose to break up.

Kitahara Takashi sometimes wonders if he really is sick.

"Why, why would you say such a thing?"

Shijo Zhenfei covered her chest with her right hand, like an egg with a hard shell broken, and little pearls kept falling like they were free.

"Feel sorry."

Kitahara Tsutomu felt a little sorry for Shijo Shinki when he saw her appearance at this moment.

He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears.

But just this simple action made Shijo Shinki cry even harder, until she was out of breath.

Her loud crying immediately attracted the attention of people around her.

Many people pointed fingers at Kitahara Tsutomu, especially women who looked at him as if he were trash.

Beiyuan Zun didn't care about the looks of the people around him now. He just looked at the handkerchief soaked with tears. He wanted to change it, but Shijo Zhenfei suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist tightly.

I'm quite strong, but it's still easy to break free if I really want to.

But Kitahara Takashi thought about it and decided not to pull his hand back, maintaining the fixed posture of wiping her tears.

After crying for a long time, perhaps because she was tired, Shijo Zhenfei's crying gradually subsided, but the depression, pain and sorrow in her heart could not be eliminated.

She snatched the handkerchief from Kitahara Tsun's hand, turned her head and said, "I'll wash the handkerchief and return it to you."

Kitahara Takashi didn't care about the handkerchief.

Come to think of it, this handkerchief was given to him by Eriri.

He didn't know how much it cost, but it was very comfortable to use, so he kept it with him all the time.

After stuffing the handkerchief into her schoolbag, Shijo Shinki looked up at him, her eyes very red and swollen.

"I'm planning to steal someone's love, do you have any good suggestions?"

Kitahara Tsutomu was stunned.

No, I came here to be your substitute. How can you use me as your military advisor?

18. You haven't left yet? (Seeking tickets)

"Thank you, Zun, for today."

Coming out of the dessert shop with Shijo Shinki, Kitahara Takashi looked at the time and found that it was already 18:22.

Unexpectedly, he and Shijo Shinki chatted for almost two and a half hours when they met for the first time.

Although most of the time it was Shijo Shinki who was talking, I just listened.

Standing at the door of the dessert shop, Shijo Shinki stretched lazily: "After talking to you, I feel a lot more relaxed."
