Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

"Why are you all so surprised?"

Bei Nuo tilted his head to express his incomprehension.

"Aqi! Can you be a little more self-aware?" Yuigahama was immediately furious. "Ah, really, it was you who brought it up first..."

"Don't worry, listen to me first."

Bei Nuo interrupted her speech directly, realizing that they had obviously been led astray and that some things had to be made clear in advance.

"I'm sorry, I didn't finish what I said just now, so you misunderstood me."

"President, if I remember correctly, you did say yesterday that you had a misunderstanding of me." His words immediately awakened Yukinoshita.

Kitano was afraid that Yuigahama hadn't figured it out yet, so he continued, "It's because the president has unilaterally misunderstood me that the person who should explain it is not me, but the president."

Yukinoshita immediately understood what Kitano meant.

The emotionally unstable person is Yukinoshita, and she is also the core of the conflict. This is indeed true from a logical analysis.

Kitano approved of Shizuka Hiratsuka's strategy. Apologizing in advance was certainly a reasonable way to ease the conflict.

But that's not enough.

He thinks more deeply and is unwilling to follow the crowd, so he must follow through on his beliefs.

"Yeah, it seems... that's it." Yuigahama thought for a moment before finally reacting, "But, the atmosphere just now was like..."

"It's like you're forcing me to explain, right?" Seeing that the two had calmed down, Bei Nuo further explained, "Sometimes, the so-called air can also obscure objective facts."

"..." These words made Yuigahama feel a little dazed, and reminded her of her past self and similar experiences.

Isn’t this what it means to cater to others? Going with the flow, ignoring the facts in front of you many times, and finally becoming what you are now.

Then she should also stay awake...

Yuigahama silently looked at Kitano's profile, that face seemed to always remain calm and sober.

But she vaguely realized that just staying awake seemed not enough, she was still missing something.

"Sorry... Ah Qi, I just said something weird."

Listening to Yuigahama's gentle voice, Kitano also slowed down his breathing.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but he heard a different kind of rationality in Yuigahama's tone.

Bei Nuo smiled slightly, "It's okay, I don't mind."

"But, Yukinoshita still has some misunderstandings about me. That's why we need to communicate with each other, right?"

Yukinoshita stroked her long hair that was scattered on her shoulders. She was very calm at the moment and agreed with Kitano's point of view in her heart.

After all, yesterday's conversation ended because of her.

Yukinoshita slowly said, "From what you said, you intend to clear up the misunderstanding?"

"Not really."

Bei Nuo's answer once again surprised both of them.

Although Yukinoshita was no longer surprised, she still felt a little uncomfortable inside.

"Whether the misunderstanding can be cleared up is not up to me. The person who tied the bell must untie it. All I can do is just defend myself."

He does not mean that.

There was no sarcasm in these words, but Yukinoshita heard it as a hint that she was being rude and unreasonable.

But if you think about it carefully, yesterday's conflict was caused by her, and Beinuo was obviously innocent.

Yukinoshita's rationality agreed with this logic, but the nameless emotion in her heart made her a little troubled.

She was silent for a moment, and finally could only accept it depressedly.

But it's relative.

Yukinoshita would also pour out all the doubts in her heart.

"Okay... since you want to defend yourself, then you just need to answer me one question."

Before Yukinoshita could ask a question, Kitano expressed her concerns first, "About why I don't care about what happens to Yuigahama-san, right?"

"..."

Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed but she remained silent, which was considered as her agreement.

Yuigahama's heart was suddenly in her throat when she was suddenly called out.

Although this is a conflict between Yukinoshita and Kitano, she will inevitably be mentioned in the reconciliation process.

Yuigahama Yui, who has always been particularly concerned about what others think, subconsciously clenched her hands, and she didn't even dare to shift her gaze.

Yuigahama couldn't ignore Kitano's opinion of her, let alone express it so formally and up close.

What does Beinuo think of her?

When this moment really came, the optimistic self she had constructed before seemed to be crumbling.

As the two listened, Bei Nuo slowly spoke:

"The answer is simple, because I trust Yuigahama-san."

Yukinoshita's eyes froze as she quietly pondered the meaning of this sentence.

Yuigahama blinked blankly, thinking to herself: "Qi, trust me... This is a positive comment..."

The two of them obviously did not fully understand Bei Nuo's meaning.

But they didn't jump to conclusions.

Yukinoshita asked first: "Can you explain it?"

Even if Yukinoshita didn't ask, Kitano would explain further.

"What I mean by 'trust' is that I believe she can handle the conflict on her own. Even if she is helpless at the time, I believe she can handle it later."

"It is precisely because I believe that I am not worried, but in your eyes, I am 'not concerned'."

Perhaps she was prepared in her heart, Yukinoshita was not surprised by these words. After all, Kitano always spoke like this, so she would take the initiative to give up the habit of making unauthorized guesses.

After a brief thought, Yukinoshita retorted: "Your point of view... I cannot agree with it."

"I understand that you were angry at the time, and it was reasonable."

The argument that Yukinoshita had expected did not occur. Kitano was actually considerate of her, and his words always hit the mark that Yukinoshita never expected.

But that doesn't mean she will let bygones be bygones.

Yukinoshita further expressed her own opinion, "What you said is completely subjective. Only you know whether the 'trust' you said is sincere."

"When an accident happens, anyone can use the excuse 'I didn't take action because I trusted him' to cover up the truth."

"Is this an almost unconvincing excuse you want to make?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was indeed smart and found Kitano's flaw immediately.

The so-called belief in Yuigahama's words is just Kitano's one-sided statement, and no one can prove it except himself.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Yukinoshita didn't think that this would leave the other party speechless. At least in her impression, Kitano often said shocking things.

However, Bei Nuo shook his head, "No more."

"Huh? You...you don't, you really...don't have anything else to say?"

Yukinoshita felt like she was being teased. She thought it would take some effort to refute him, but in the end, it was just a waste of time.

"That's all, that's all I wanted to say." Bei Nuo looked relieved and even breathed a sigh of relief.

His original plan only went this far.

What needs to be defended has been defended.

As for whether Yukinoshita accepts it or not, that is her business.

Just look at Yukinoshita's expression.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to accept it for the time being.

"I see……"

Yukinoshita tried her best to remain calm, but the slight twitching at the corners of her eyes revealed her true emotions.

It was rare to see her trying so hard to control herself.

Bei Nuo almost laughed out loud, so he quickly looked away, turned his head away, and covered the corners of his mouth with his hands.

If this were to be exposed, no one knew what Yukinoshita would do.

But one thing is clear, she will never let Beinuo off easily.

Although Yuigahama didn't quite understand what was said, she knew that the current atmosphere needed to be adjusted, so she quickly took over the topic.

"Well...ah, what Ah Qi said actually makes sense. At least I think...Ah Qi didn't lie, haha..."

In response, Yukinoshita coldly reminded: "Yuigahama-san, don't be easily fooled by that person's sweet words, especially you, you may be fooled without knowing it."

"Eh?! Xiaoxue has zero trust in me! After all, I was admitted to Sobu High School based on my own ability!" Yuigahama tried her best to refute, but to little effect.

Yuki showed helplessness and looked at Yuigahama with narrowed eyes, as if saying "Is this something to be proud of?"

She glanced at Bei Nuo who had nothing to do with the matter, and could only temporarily suppress her inner dissatisfaction and patiently explained:

"Every year there are cases of top students being scammed. Besides, Sobu High School is just one of the key high schools. Getting in doesn't mean anything. On the contrary, your superficial knowledge makes you more likely to become the target of scammers."

Yuigahama felt so miserable after hearing this, it seemed like her brain wasn't working properly!

"But, Hikigaya-san, are you just going to get away with it?" Yukinoshita didn't forget the point of this conversation.

Bei Nuo took advantage of this free time to recover and his facial expression returned to normal.

"You still don't accept it." He looked at Yukinoshita with a smile, "Indeed, my defense was not convincing enough, but many times, the role of language is limited."

Yukinoshita's sharp eyes paused for a moment, "The limitation of language? Well then—"

“I’ll wait and see what happens in the future.”
