lost to yellow ball

After the affairs of the drama club temporarily came to an end, after returning to the classroom, Kuri Kushima was pestered by Nanako Kobayashi for a long time and asked her and Yukimura Seichi what the current situation was.

"Could it be because of the incident in Okinawa, Ji Li, have you softened your heart?"

Nanako Kobayashi thought of her sincerely: "You can't forgive him just because of one thing. Even if Yukimura-san really likes you, it still can't change the fact that his focus is on tennis right now."

As a 'witness' to the beginning and end of this relationship, Kobayashi is very sensitive to the fact that Kushima Jiri is not as alienated and indifferent to Yukimura as he was when they just broke up.She was worried that Ji Li would be too concerned about the breakup and make herself sad, but now that they seem to have crossed paths again, she is very concerned about whether she will soften her heart and get back together.

Personally, she has no opinion on Yukimura-san.There are no problems with studies, sports, appearance, and character, but he is too focused on his dreams, which makes him not suitable for dating.

They really got back together, and she was also very worried about whether they would break up again, which would cause deeper harm to Ji Li.

"You see, although Nioh-kun is also in the tennis club, he tries his best to find time to accompany me every day, and he also keeps a distance from other women. He officially introduced me to his circle of friends not long after dating. And as long as I It's my phone, no matter what time it is, I will answer it immediately or send a text message to explain the situation to me."

"If there is a game, he will tell me in advance that he will play..."

Kobayashi Nanako stopped the car in time.

Seeing that Ji Li's expression was getting lower and lower, she also leaned in a little sadly: "I didn't say this to show off, I just wanted to say... serious love is not enough to like each other."

If it's just in the student days, then it doesn't matter. Falling in love with the influential figures in the school is a kind of talking point wherever they go.

But Ji Li is obviously not such a person, at least before breaking up, she really liked Yukimura-san.

"I know, that's why I broke up with him." Kushima Jiri spread out his bandaged hands, and couldn't help frowning when he thought of Yukimura Seichi's caring look just now. ——But how can the three-year habit say nothing, especially after the incident in Okinawa, Yukimura Seichi knew exactly what kind of person she was.

But still did not give up.

And every time she wanted to push away, refuse, or ignore, she would involuntarily look at Yukimura Seiichi's hand that was still wrapped in bandages.

Unable to suppress, she had the idea of ​​escaping again.

If you don't look, listen, or think, you can pretend you don't know, you can ignore other people's wishes, and you can avoid the possibility that you don't want to face.

"What should I do, Nanako?"

I really want to get out of here.

You won't face Yukimura Seiichi, and you won't have the concern of your friends. If you change the phone number...you can even escape the ridicule and ridicule of Keigo Atobe.

Kili Kushima's pupils became darker.

It seems to have dived into the deep sea, revealing a depressive blue.

As the class bell rang, Kobayashi Nanako returned to her seat even though she was worried about Ji Li.

After thinking about it, she sent a text message to Nioh Masaharu.

"Then today's duty is up to you, Jiu Dao."

Jiu Dao Jili nodded towards the Commission for Discipline Inspection. She was not in a high mood, and she was indifferent.

The phone kept ringing in his pocket, but the owner seemed to be unable to hear it or feel it, focusing on the sanitation on duty. Xiao Lin, who went back to the classroom to get things, walked over worriedly: "Ji Li, are you okay?"

"kindness?"

Kushima Jiri smiled at her habitually, "Did something fall?"

Kobayashi Nanako waved the things in her hands, indicating that she had already got them, and she pointed to Ji Li's uniform pocket with the other finger: "The phone has been ringing for a long time."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Kili Kushima took out her mobile phone, just as the phone was hung up, she said: "It's already hung up, I'll call back later."

It was still early outside the window, but Ji Li was already ready to go home: "Does Nanako still have club activities? Then I'll go first."

As if he didn't want to talk any more, Jiri Jiudao hurriedly took his bag and walked out of the classroom. After shouting to Kobayashi who came out, he didn't stay, so he could only chase to the window and look at Jiudao worriedly. The figure of Ji Li slowly leaving towards the campus gate.

Ji Li... She had a determined look on her face.

After leaving Kanagawa, Kushima Kili breathed a sigh of relief.

For the time being, she has no time to pay attention to the school affairs, and the last time she agreed with Kudo Shinichi has arrived.

During this period of time, Edogawa Conan would come to her every day, trying to get her to dispel this idea, but because of this, Ji Li felt that Shinichi was a person who hid behind the children and had no responsibility, so he resolutely decided on this idea .She even deliberately chatted with the magazine and other responsible contacts in front of Conan. Although Shinichi was not involved, it was still a substantial threat.

On the day of the meeting, Kushima Jiri turned down all the appointments.

In order to facilitate the conversation, Ji Li chose the Mihua Park at night.

She felt that she was enough to understand Kudo Shinichi's idea of ​​not wanting to appear in front of others, but she absolutely could not forgive him for lying that he had been in Tokyo all the time, but he lied that he was going to other places to handle the case, and it took half a year to do it.

Tokyo time 20:00

Sitting on a bench in the park, Kili Kushima calmly told the person on the other end of the phone that he was a little tired today and had arrived home to rest.

After hanging up the phone, he sat there with his back straight and waited for the person he was waiting for.

At the same time, in the house at 2-22, Mihuacho, two people, one old and one young, were anxiously pacing in the living room.

"Is Huiyuan still not well?"

Conan's anxiety reached its peak after receiving the 'already arrived' message from Jiri Kushima.

Although Dr. A Li was also worried for him, but he was not the person involved, so he comforted him: "Ji Li probably won't really publish it in the newspaper, it's just to scare you, don't be so anxious, Shinichi."

Conan, who knew Ji Li well, shook his head heavily: "If I don't give a reasonable explanation, Ji Li will definitely do so."

But the problem was that he couldn't give her a reasonable explanation.

Don't let Ji Li know about the black organization.

There was no way he could accept another resort murder case.

Tell Ji Li that with her character, she will never sit still.

At this moment, some voices came from the underground passage, and Hui Yuanai walked up with a tired face holding a small white bottle.

She casually threw it to Conan and said lightly: "Without specific clinical trials, I have no way of determining the success rate, human timeliness and side effects."

There seems to be no need to say anything about the remaining warnings.As soon as Conan got the medicine, he immediately took it impatiently, without even the slightest hesitation.This made Hui Yuanai's expression flicker, "It will work within half an hour, prepare your own clothes, pay attention, leave as soon as you feel something wrong with your body, otherwise the things you carefully concealed will no longer be able to hide .”

"it is good!"

In the middle of the night, the park had a sweltering feeling of early summer, and there were hardly any people staying around. Kujima Jiri sat on the bench and glanced at the time on the phone.

Tokyo time 22:00

One hour left.

After experiencing a period of pain that almost tore his body apart, Conan clearly saw his 17-year-old body restored without getting drunk or having a fever.

As soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately put on the clothes he had prepared on the side, glanced at his phone and rushed out of Dr. A Li's house in a hurry, not even having time to say hello to Dr. A Li and Hui Yuanai.

——!

Kudo Shinichi just ran out the door, but ran back in two seconds.

He leaned over by the door and took a peek.

Dr. Li, who followed him out, was stunned for a moment, "Xinyi, why are you back again? Did you leave anything behind?"

"Hush! Keigo Atobe is over there."

Kudo Shinichi raised a finger at Dr. Ali, signaling to be quiet.He hid himself from Dr. Ali's door and glanced over. The boy with silver-gray hair was well-dressed without any wrinkles, his back was straight and he was standing elegantly and dignifiedly at the door of Kudo's house, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his expression was flat and straight. Looking ahead.

No matter why the other party appeared at his door at this time, Keigo Atobe must not let him know that he ran out of Dr. Ali's house.

"I have to go around from behind."

Dr. A Li said worriedly: "But if you go around to the park from the back, you won't be able to catch up with 12 o'clock, so you have to walk a few more streets..."

Tokyo time 23:35

Kushima Jiri glanced at the time on the phone, then closed the phone again.

25 minutes left.

Kudo Shinichi, who was running wildly on the street, hardly dared to give himself a moment to breathe.

He climbed over the back wall of Dr. Ali's house, and immediately dismantled a bicycle on the road and rushed over.

Tokyo time 23:59

Kili Kushima lost his patience.

One night passed, and she only received one call in total, and it wasn't from Kudo Shinichi.

She slowly stood up from the bench, and there was still pain in her back from Friday's fall, but she didn't show a trace of it on her face.

The wound on the knee has scarred.

Tokyo time 24:00

Just as she was about to leave the park, a bicycle rushed in through the gate and almost hit a tree because it was too late to brake.

Kudo Shinichi got out of the car panting, the strands of hair on his forehead were all soaked, he was only wearing a thin white shirt, and the color of his skin could be seen faintly at this moment.

"Ji Li..."

He took a slow breath, and walked slowly in front of Kili Kushima, feeling that he hadn't seen her from such an angle for a long time.

Long brown hair like ears of wheat swaying in the sun in a mature wheat field, eyes like aquamarine, when staring at him, they are not as fresh as before.

"Kudou Shinichi, you're late."

Kili Kushima glanced at him with his arms around his chest, then went back and sat on the bench by himself: "Come and sit."

After resting quietly like this for a while, Kudo Shinichi pulled his collar to dispel the hot feeling between his necks, and finally broke the silence between each other: "Ji Li, I didn't deliberately avoid you. No answer Your phone call was really urgent and there was no way to answer it." He had no choice but to lie to Jiri Jiudao in person, so he could only choose not to say anything.

"Can you trust me?"

Kudo Shinichi stood up from the chair, walked in front of Ji Li and slowly put one knee on the ground, held her shoulders with both hands and raised his head.

The sky-like blue eyes looked at her intently.

Kudo Kili looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was now getting low, and thought of all the things during this period, his expression finally loosened.

"I don't want to say how worried Xiaolan is about you."

"I just want to know the truth and what you're doing, can't even this?"

Kudo Shinichi's hands trembled.

"You know that you are not just a childhood sweetheart to me." Although during this time, Kudao Jiri has always faced all those who care about Kudo Shinichi's disappearance with a comforting and confident attitude, but deep down in her heart There has always been a haze of uneasiness, "You grew up with me, tolerated me, and led me. Even my parents are not as important as you."

When she returned to Tokyo, she didn't go back to the Jiudao family's villa at the first time.

Instead, he came to Kudo's house.

But the person she was looking for had disappeared.

"...I thought you went to other places to handle the case, and it was only a week at most. But you never came back. You were so close to me that day in Okinawa, but you didn't want to come to see me."

"I'm so angry, Kudo Shinichi."

Kudo Kili said angry, but tears fell on Kudo Shinichi's hands.

When faced with a dangerous prisoner, Kudo Shinichi, who was calm and calm, seemed extremely at a loss at this time: "Don't, don't cry! It doesn't look good at all when you cry, and you become an ugly Jiri!"

Jiri Kushima: "..."

She opened her mouth, almost wanting to curse.

Although he might have said the wrong thing, Kudo Shinichi heaved a sigh of relief seeing Ji Li stopped crying.

When he was in Okinawa, he only had time to explain to Lan, but he was forced to find a place to hide because of the pain in his chest.After transforming back into Conan, he was busy comforting Xiaolan again, completely ignoring Ji Li who was rescued when he was in danger.

Kudo Shinichi slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of Ji Li's eyes, and looked at his sister who had been sleeping in a crib not long after birth with the utmost tenderness: "I should be by your side, it's my fault."

He promised to take care of Ji Li, but he failed to fulfill this promise.

So when Ji Li said that he transferred to Kanagawa, he didn't even have the confidence to refute.

It was he who suggested that Ji Li go back to school, and it was his fault that something like that happened.

"Before you disappeared, I thought Kudo's house was like a safe haven for me. When anything happened, I wanted to go back immediately." Kudao Jili's father, mother, and elder brother are the most important in life All the roles played by the three members of the Kudou family.

"But when I went back to Tokyo, there was no one at home."

Jiri Jiudao had a sore nose, "There is no one in your room. Sister Xizi and the others are in the United States. I don't want them to worry... If I call you, six out of ten will hang up."

"Okinawa, you're still avoiding me—"

He loosened the hand holding Ji Li's shoulder, leaned forward and hugged his sister, and swore, "I can't tell anyone until this matter is over. Believe me, I will handle it perfectly." This matter is settled, and then I will come back and tell you the reason and process of the whole incident, ... but it is not yet possible."

"But you've been obsessed with this for almost a year—"

"I know, I know." He patiently comforted Ji Li, who was extremely wronged in front of him, with an unbelievably gentle tone, "I know everything, Ji Li."

"I promise you, as long as there is no accident, no matter how late it is every day, I will definitely call you instead of texting you. Okay?"

"I will prove that I am safe and sound, and you promise me to be strong."

"Whether it's about Yukimura Seiichi or something else."

Kujima was silent for a while.

"Then answer my other question."

"As long as it has nothing to do with the case, I will definitely tell you." Kudo Shinichi said quickly.

Thinking of all the signs of that child, Jiri Kushima paused.

"Edogawa Conan, who is it?"

"What are you talking about, isn't Conan just Conan, ahahahahaha."

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help the sweat dripping down his head.

He already thought that Ji Li might suspect Conan's identity, but he didn't expect her to ask so directly.

"Tell me honestly..."

Kili Kushima brushed Shinichi's hand off his shoulder, and looked at him very seriously: "Has Uncle Yusaku cheated?"

Kudo Shinichi: "...?"

He blinked, his mind froze for a moment.

"What are you kidding?" Kudo Shinichi immediately jumped up, "How could my father cheat?!"

Kushima Jiri was taken aback by his attitude, but then he asked confidently: "Then explain to me why Conan looks so similar to you and why I'm so familiar with you but I've never heard of it before. ah!"

"That child is simply a clone of you when you were young. If you weren't young enough, I would have thought it was your illegitimate child!"

Kudo Shinichi gritted his teeth: "Conan is definitely not my child!"

"Then you also swear, it's definitely not Uncle Yusaku's."

She doesn't care who exactly Conan's child is, as long as it's not proof that Uncle Yusaku has misbehaved with Yukiko, it doesn't matter.

But when she asked this, Kudo Shinichi suddenly fell silent.

"I swear, Edogawa Conan is definitely not my father's child."

Kushima Jiri: "...Then why did you hesitate."

She felt something was wrong.

Could it really be an illegitimate child?She widened her eyes, "Sister Yukiko is so nice, why did Uncle Yusaku cheat??? I want to tell—"

Kudo Shinichi frantically pushed Ji Li down who was about to stand up, "Conan has a little blood relationship with our family, but it is definitely not an illegitimate child, I swear. And my mother also knows about Conan's existence, and she still likes Conan very much! "

"real……?"

"……real."

Kudo Shinichi raised his hand: "If I lie, I will call your sister."

Anyway, it has been called.

Hearing this, Jiri Jiudao looked much better, "Okay then, I will trust you just once."

In fact, she herself didn't want to believe that Uncle Yusaku had cheated.

In order to prevent Kudao Jiri from continuing to entangle on this issue, Kudo Shinichi asked her recent situation.

When he was Conan, even if he wanted to comfort him, he would not be listened to. Now that he finally changed back to Kudo Shinichi, he had to have a good chat with Ji Li before changing back.

"I?"

Kushima Jiri smiled, "I'm fine."

"Although I broke up with Yukimura Seiichi, I resisted not transferring schools. At Atobe's suggestion some time ago, I went back to the Hyotei Elementary School to have a look..." Ji Li slowly explained the events during this period, Tell Kudo Shinichi a little bit.Maybe she wanted to seek comfort at first, but after hearing that he was unwilling in this situation... or that he couldn't tell the truth, she decided not to make him worry any more.

Seeing Ji Li slightly's description in a relaxed tone, Kudo Shinichi gently placed his hand on her head.

"As I said, there's no need to pretend to be in front of my brother."

"..." Kudo Jiri felt the temperature of another person on the top of her head, and pursed her lips: "What brother, he is only two months older than me." She turned her head and looked at Kudo Shinichi The bicycle he rode fell to the ground in dust: "Why, everyone wants me to be the Kujima Jiri they imagined."

She said softly: "The man called me and told me to go to Germany after graduation and study at his alma mater. It seems that this can become the Ji Li he expected."

"Keigo Atobe wants me to be a 'better Kiri'."

"Even a liar coach has to travel thousands of miles from the United States and pretend to be an educator to give me a word after three years."

"Even if it's Shinichi, he still has the same idea as Atobe, right?"

They all felt that Ji Li was not good.

But... Good Ji Li, is that her?

Kushima Jiri didn't know.

She's just in a bit of pain.

"I like Yukimura Seiichi, but he has something more important than me, tennis."

Kudo Shinichi smoothed Junjiri's hair, and the touch on his hands was extremely soft: "You know that in Okinawa, if the knife deviates a little bit, his hand will be useless. Even if he can still use his left hand, his right hand will be useless." It's like ruining a tennis player's life."

"But," Kuri Kushima turned to look at Shinichi Kudo, "what I want is not equality."

She knows that she has a terrible personality, but she doesn't force anyone to cater to her personality, if they don't fit, just leave.

Just like when Changtaro went to the tennis club, she didn't ask him to quit the club, she just left by herself.

Is it not possible to do so?

"I don't want to get back together, I don't want to become that hysterical look. I also told him that night, even if he knows what I look like now, the two of us will not go back to the past." Kushima Jili seriously She looked at her most trusted person: "Tell me, how can I be in one school and one grade, completely ignoring the person I like?"

Kudo Shinichi did not refute Ji Li's words.

He did want Ji Li to change his views on some things, but he didn't think she was bad, he just wanted her to be happier.

"Ji Li, you are very important to me. Xiaolan is also very important to me, being a detective and playing football is very important... I am willing to die for you and for Lan, without hesitation." Kudo Shin Taking a deep breath, she continued bit by bit: "But you can't ignore all my love for you just because I am willing to die for Lan."

"But you are different from Yukimura." She recalled the scene where Yukimura Seiichi stood in front of her without hesitation, and the blood spattered out, and the scene where Shinichi tried to drag her out of the resort desperately...

Kili Kushima looked up at Shinichi, and said straightforwardly and simply: "But I will be very unhappy if he does this."

"But you are not seven years old, not 14 years old, Kushima Jiri."

Kudo Shinichi sighed.

Sometimes he also has a headache about Ji Li's personality, but as a person who knows why she has such a personality, he can only tolerate and guide her more.

"That man also said this to me." Ji Lili arrived at the call he answered in the afternoon, "He said: You are 17 years old, you should take on your own responsibilities. I have given you enough time to be self-willed." , don't be greedy." How ridiculous, she just wanted to save herself from being so miserable, so she became greedy.

"...Is it Uncle Nine Islands?"

Kushima Jiri responded softly.

"He's back home."

The man who had never given her any love and concern suddenly came to control her life again.

Kudo Shinichi immediately became nervous: "Have you gone to see him?"

"No... I haven't decided whether I want to see him or not." Jiri Jiudao shook his head, "He will see me as soon as he comes back. It's not a good thing to think about."

As for Ji Li's father, Kudo Shinichi also didn't like that man very much.The few times we met, although there was a kind smile on his face, there was always a lingering sense of superiority, and he never allowed anyone to question any of his decisions and act arbitrarily.

What makes Kudo Shinichi even more angry is that once he returned to China, Ji Li held his hand full of expectations, but he didn't recognize his only daughter, and had to rely on his mother to remind him.

"No matter what happens, my parents and I will always stand by your side." Kudo Shinichi touched Ji Li's forehead with his forehead: "I promise."

The night in the park was still very hot, but Ji Li gradually calmed down, and she even joked with Shinichi.

"If Xiaolan knows that you came to see me, but doesn't go to see her, she will be very sad."

Kudo Shinichi hesitated for a moment.

He doesn't know how long the medicine will last, although he really wants to see Lan, but in order to avoid complications...

"Xiaolan...I will explain to her later." He shook his head and stopped entangled in this topic, "Ji Li, although I don't know Yukimura-kun well. But...for a person who likes you, I never Don't express your dissatisfaction, just watch his wrong change with a cold eye, and finally let him bear the result of this broken relationship."

"Do you really think it's fair to him?"

Kudo Shinichi never felt that the end of this relationship was just a problem of Yukimura Seiichi alone. Perhaps in his opinion, it was more due to Kudao Jiri's personality.When they broke up, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Ji Li would forget about it after a while.But now it seems...

He still needs to have a good talk with Ji Li.

"I know, I know everything." But Jiri Jiudao still repeated that sentence: "But even if this incident makes me feel uncomfortable? Can't I choose to turn a blind eye, choose to leave, choose to escape? Even if it would make me happier, wouldn't you want to?"

Her lips trembled slightly, and she looked up at Shinichi without blinking.

"There is already Kudo Shinichi who can't escape in this world, why is there another Kudou Kiri?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at her and said word by word: "Because this is not real happiness, the things you escape will always be pressed in your heart, following you like a ghost that can never be shaken off."

"Ji Li, don't let your heart become more and more closed."

"Be brave, I'll always be by your side. You can't tell me you can't without trying, you'll feel bad."

Kudo Jiri stared blankly at Kudo Shinichi.

"—Will you always be by my side?"

Kudo Shinichi nodded very seriously.

"I'll always be by your side."

Is it really better to face it than to leave?Kushima Jiri didn't know, she was still thinking about this question when she dragged her heavy steps back.

She left Ice Empress, so she was deified and sung in Ice Empress.

If she hadn't left Bingdi, would the ending really be better than it is now?

Dim yellow street lights illuminated the road, and Jili Jiudao hadn't reached the door, but he found a boy standing by the door plate from a distance, even Nuan Xia didn't choose to take off his suit-style school uniform.

The light fell on his face, and his hair cast a little shadow, which buried the look in his eyes.

——It’s Keigo Atobe.

After returning from Okinawa, she consciously began to avoid Atobe.Whether it's phone calls or text messages, the communication has been reduced a lot. Even if the other party made an appointment with a dinner party, they only went once.

She wanted to use cold treatment to make Atobe Keigo retreat.

But I didn't expect to see him at this time and this place.

Atobe, who heard the footsteps, looked up, and saw Kili Kushima standing by the street lamp without the courage to come over at a glance.He tugged at his collar and walked over by himself.

"I fell asleep with a headache, huh?"

Jiri Kushima: ...

She coughed lightly, "It's so late, why are you here?"

"Kiri Kushima, you are avoiding me." Keigo Atobe's current height is enough for him to lower his head to look at Kiri Kushima. The scent of musk that should have been light and quiet at the end is a bit strong for some reason .

Kudao Jiri frowned uncomfortably due to the particularly obvious height suppression due to being approached.

She thought of what Kudo Shinichi had said to her just now, hesitated for a moment, and looked into Atobe Keigo's eyes.

His eyes are light blue, and they stand out beautifully against the silver-gray hair.

At the moment it's full of concentration, projecting her reflection.

"Keigo Atobe, do you like me?"

Originally, I thought that such a direct question might still get an impossible answer, but I didn't expect Keigo Atobe to answer it neatly this time.

"Yes, my uncle likes you."

Even when he said he liked the word, he was full of arrogant self-confidence, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

Maybe because of some ridiculous reasons, he didn't take that step in the end, but chose to forget, but at this moment Keigo Atobe is not going to wait for another Yukimura Seichi to appear.

"……why?"

Atobe Keigo frowned: "Why?"

Jiri Jiudao asked calmly: "If you want to say that you know me better than anyone else. Why do you still like me like this? Or do you just think that it was just a love in my school days, and it doesn't matter at all. ?"

"You like this?"

Atobe Keigo raised his eyebrows, "Kiri Kushima, listen up."

His tall stature made his reflection extremely long, and his whole body was photographed like a huge net covering Kuri Kushima.

"My uncle has never seen a person with a worse personality than you. Selfish, assertive, troublesome, noisy, you will talk back when you have the opportunity, and you will immediately turn your face when you are unhappy. You do what you want and never consider other people's feelings."

Kushima Jiri listened quietly.

He didn't deny it, and he didn't immediately jump up to argue with him as usual.

I don't know how bad her image in Atobe's heart is, so I can stand on the street at this time and listen to him count them one by one.

"Not only that, but he is also an out-and-out coward, thinking that escaping can solve any problem."

The word escape again.

Kili Kushima felt that there was no disturbance in his heart, and if necessary, he could even laugh along with it.

"So, do you want to say that you fell in love with me blindly?"

Keigo Atobe stretched his hand through Ji Li's side face and pressed against the wall, forcing her to lean back.

"but--"

He leaned down, the breathing between each other could be heard clearly, and he locked on those aquamarine eyes firmly.

"When you were an independent disciplinary committee, you were the one who was confident and strong. When you were on tour, you were the one who jumped on the keyboard, and you were the one who was elegant and charming. No matter how brutal the other party was, it was you who stood up."

"Even if you are dissatisfied with Chotaro's joining the tennis club, you will specifically ask other people not to target him."

"Even if you are unwilling, you will abide by the rules and the agreed punishment."

Kushima Gili looked up at him.

"The independent discipline committee is because I don't like you. Playing the piano seriously and participating in the competition is because you are a student of Coach Sakaki. You didn't come forward to protect anyone. You just think that the things I caused should be borne by myself."

"I'm dissatisfied with Chotaro, but it doesn't mean that someone can bully him on the pretext of pleasing me. That's slapping me in the face."

"The premise of obeying the rules is that you also obey, so I will not fall one step behind you."

Jiri Kushima rebutted point by point.

"I never did these things out of positive thoughts."

"so what?"

Atobe Keigo asked back.

"Even if these are not true, what does it have to do with my liking you?"

The wind of Xia Ye suddenly blew over like this, blowing away the layers of gauze that Ji Li had guarded in front of him one by one.It took her a while before she realized what Keigo Atobe had said.

Jiri Kushima subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but just leaned back, and her back immediately leaned against the wall, causing her to frown secretly in pain.

In the front is Keigo Atobe, in the back there is no way to retreat.

What he said seemed like a sweet and tempting cake, luring Ji Li to go forward, touch and taste it.

——It was just a little short, and she was about to step forward.

Kili Kushima avoided Keigo Atobe's fiery gaze and lowered his head slightly.

"Then do you think... I'm fine like this?"

"If you think there is nothing wrong with my personality, and you can see both my shortcomings and strengths, if you really think I am good, why...why did you let me go back to Bingdi?" Aquamarine, with a faint green light, looked straight into Atobe's heart, wanting to see his true thoughts.

If you really think her good, why make her do something she doesn't like?

It's all deceptive.

"fraud."

Ji Li spit out these two words lightly.

"You just want to like the me you like, Keigo Atobe."

If it happened when I met Yukimura Seiichi... No, if Keigo Atobe had confessed to her before that happened, maybe they had been noisy for a while, and they would really be together.

But definitely not now.

Kushima Kili said cruel words, and she denied Atobe Keigo's confession.

He also denied himself in his mouth.

She was never good, nor perfect, and falling in love with her would only be a disaster.

Just like the current Yukimura Seiichi.
