[Comprehensive] I really have a problem with my daily life

【Is it. 】After the initial shock, the young man on the other end of the phone quickly came back to his senses. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, he walked over and sat down, picked up the towel on the back of the chair and wiped the sweat off his head. Looking at the camera and smiling, [Happy birthday, Iori. 】

"Ah, um..." I nodded in a daze, my face becoming more and more dignified.Oops... What should I say on this occasion... If it's normal, it's okay, a few small talk is actually nothing, the problem is now...

"Iori." The shout of the person beside me made me turn my head subconsciously, and then I saw Akashi with a smile on his face and said in an unusually gentle tone: "Be careful when others congratulate you."

"...Yes." I just realized it, and then felt a little bit bitter in my heart - judging from my experience of dating for more than three months, this person is definitely angry now!

I was flustered for a while, turned the phone sideways and moved the camera so that the red-haired boy next to me also entered the mirror, swallowed seriously and said: "That... this is my boyfriend!"

My sudden introduction was a bit hasty, both parties were taken aback for a moment, but the reaction was quick.

【Hey—that's it, then congratulations are indeed due. 】There was a hint of a smile in the young man's voice, his attitude was the same as usual, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gave the shortest self-introduction, 【Echizen Ryuya. 】

"Well, I know you." Akashi smiled lightly, quite tit-for-tat, "Akashi Seijuro."

Echizen Longya raised his eyebrows in surprise: 【That's really an honor. 】

I was listening to this conversation, which was going more and more wrongly, let alone talking, and didn't even dare to move.

Fortunately, Sister Nanako finally realized something was wrong, so she switched back to herself: [Happy birthday, Iori.When Rukawa comes out, I'm asking him to call you! 】

"Okay! It's okay!" I said quickly, hung up the phone, and looked up at the people who were paying attention.

Some of them noticed that the atmosphere was not right and became careful in their movements, some were still in the fog, and some didn't notice at all.

I stared at the phone for a moment, then looked at Akashi, and said slowly, "That..."

"What's wrong?" The smile on Akashi's face never disappeared, and he asked very considerately.

"...Don't get me wrong."

"Huh? What do you think I'm misunderstanding?"

"...It's nothing!" He shook his head violently, almost twisting his neck.

--Why? !Why should I fall into the Shura field of my ex-boyfriend and my current boyfriend on my birthday? !What have I done! ?Why should I have a guilty conscience!Why is no one else talking!There seems to be something wrong with the current atmosphere!What did I invite you here for!

"What's going on, the atmosphere suddenly became stiff." Kise tried to warm up the scene, laughing, "Everyone don't have to be so restrained, Iori didn't call his ex-boyfriend..."

"..." Akashi and I looked at the past with murderous eyes and the other with foolish eyes.

Kise Ryota, who got the meaning from our obvious eyes, looked away silently: "...I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

As soon as these words came out, basically everyone present could understand what happened just now. All Shiro Rin looked at me with incredulous and even terrified eyes. From their eyes, I could understand the general meaning—— You actually called your ex-boyfriend in front of Akashi? !

……No!I'm not!I don't!

I feel very wronged in my heart, but at the moment I can only lower my head and eat the cake and pretend to be calm... Ah, Nozaki's craftsmanship is really good!Ah, these strawberries are so fresh!Ah... seems to disappear from this place quickly...

"Well, I have a question..." Nozaki raised his hand and tried to speak uprightly, but Kurosaki immediately said, "Shut up, don't ask."

At the same time, Sakura and Mikoshiba tried hard to hold him down from left to right to prevent him from getting up.

"Brother, why don't you talk!" Momoi Wuyue stood up, put her hands together, and tried to be a little angel to warm up the scene, "Today is Zhejun and Xiaoyi's birthday! Don't talk to Xiaohuang... Ah, by the way, let's play something!"

"Ah..." Qingfeng, who was pushed by Wuyue, finally came out of his confusion. He asked hesitantly, "Wait a minute, I didn't understand... Iori's ex-boyfriend picked it up just now? Hey, wait Let’s see, since we still keep in touch in private, it proves that there is nothing wrong with it.”

"..." I silently raised my head, held back, hesitated to speak——Qingfeng, are you really here to help me? !I feel like you're digging holes for me!It's obviously nothing that I care about because of what you said!sorry!I shouldn't usually give you the words "white album"!Can't I apologize? !

"Then let's play Truth or Dare!" Nozaki, who was unstopped this time, took out his phone enthusiastically, "The latest game can be directly used in the APP!"

"In that case..." Reiko Aida looked at everyone and tried to improve the atmosphere, "Shall we play this?"

Truth or Dare... Compared with King Game, this seems to be slightly better, because there will be no designated personnel.Expecting the last bit of mistrust towards Nozaki, I also nodded in agreement.

then……

"What is the reason for breaking up with your ex?" The game planner Umetaro Nozaki read out this question, ahed, and fell into a bewildered silence.

For a while, the atmosphere fell into an awkward situation.

I thought from the bottom of my heart that Nozaki was probably out to get me, and I wanted to break up with Yumeno-sensei.

"No, if you don't want to talk, you can choose to take a big adventure..." Sakura Chiyo said cautiously.

"Just, that's right!" Miko Chai also worked hard to save his friend's respect, "And breaking up is usually a man's fault..."

"No, it's my problem." I raised my head and repeated it seriously, "It's all my problem...so don't talk about it, let's continue."

The moment I looked up, I saw everyone's expressions clearly.

Zhe also hesitated to speak, his whole state was——are you stupid?

Unlike Kurosaki, Kurosaki is much more straightforward, just saying there-fool!

And the others... focus on the other person.

Only then did I realize that at the beginning, I just didn't want to turn into an act of saying bad things about my ex behind my back, and there was a lot of ambiguity.I turned my head immediately, just in time to meet Akashi's calm gaze.I don't know why I was a little flustered, but before I spoke, Akashi had already looked away, as if nothing happened, and said with a smile: "Iori's round is over, let's continue."

"Ah! That's right! Let's continue!"

"Come on! Let's continue! Who is who!"

"Yes, it's me..." Jiang Qi raised his hand tremblingly, his voice was crying.

... Please don't look at me with pitiful eyes while talking!It's like weeping for me, student Jiangqi!

There was no way to pass this birthday safely. After the round ended, everyone made excuses to go home.

I didn't force them to stay, I gave them away one by one, crying inside.

Ah - if it wasn't for Nioh who couldn't come today because of something, I think I can still save him!For example, Tetsuya and Kurosaki can't expect them to save me at all...

"Take care." Zhe also said such a heavy word in a calm tone before leaving.

Kurosaki was even worse, she just patted my shoulder, sighed, and left me with a back view.

Me: "..." What is the use of you? !Our friendship is as precarious as the glaciers of the Arctic!I will list Nioh as my number one friend, and your status will drop!

After everyone left, I closed the door, looked at Akashi, and said slowly, "That... Ah Zheng..."

"What's the matter?" Akashi looked at me, although the corners of his mouth were hooked, but there was no smile in his red eyes, "Sorry, I just interrupted without permission. Is there anything else I have to say? It's not too late to call now. "

"..." I resisted listening to him finish, and finally couldn't hold back and replied, "Am I the kind of person who calls his ex-boyfriend in front of you?"

After I finished speaking, I immediately realized what happened before, and added a little embarrassingly: "It was an accident just now."

Akashi laughed angrily, and raised his voice a little: "Do I need to avoid it?"

...Is this the point? !And the irony is too obvious to be a bit too much!And didn't I tell you everything before!

"Do you think it's interesting to turn over old accounts?"

Akashi said indifferently: "That depends on whether you treat it as an old account."

I choked for a moment, feeling an urge to respond, took a deep breath, and tried to convince myself to calm down.

My attitude at the beginning was indeed not right. When I saw Long Ya, I was too shocked and reacted too slowly. Later, when I spoke at the truth or dare level, it seemed that I spoke for the other party. It was easy to misunderstand, and Akashi would be angry. normal.Moreover, we have been dating for so long and have never had any conflicts. This quarrel is also normal, and it can be said to be a good thing in disguise. At least Akashi is not sullen or cold...

After I finished the psychological construction for myself, I stepped forward and hugged him, and just about to explain, I heard the other party's faint voice: "Iori, what you are doing now... Do you really want to do this, or do you take it as a kind of compensation?"

……grass!At this moment, I had the urge to quarrel with the other party. I let go and took a step back, looked at the other party squarely, and shouted in a low voice: "Akashi Seijuro——"

The other party looked at me silently, with a serious expression, as if he was just asking an ordinary question.

This guy...not being ironic, he really thought so and was asking me for an answer seriously...After realizing this, I was suddenly discouraged, turned around as if giving up, raised my hand and rubbed it face, took a deep breath, ignored the other party and walked around him to the desk.

"……what are you doing?"

"Can't you see that I'm drawing!"

Akashi was silent for a long time, and added: "I asked why I suddenly went to draw."

"Aren't you very smart and good at guessing! Can't you guess this!" After I said something weirdly, I felt that my tone just now was a bit annoying, so I said dryly, "I don't want to quarrel with you, Painting makes me feel calmer."

Akashi opened his mouth, but finally hesitated, stopped speaking, and sat down with a cold face.

After about 10 minutes passed quietly, the red-haired boy sitting on the sofa stood up and walked over, his voice still tense: "What are you drawing?"

I raised my eyes and glanced at him, my face was calm, and my not-so-good tone had the meaning of confrontation: "I will draw the ins and outs of our quarrel."

Akashi was silent for a moment, but his tone did not soften: "Does it make sense? I don't think I'm at fault."

I lowered my head and continued to draw slowly, snorted coldly, became angry for no reason, thumped the table bitterly and said: "Then let the children judge who is right and who is wrong later on!"

Akashi: "..."

"..." I raised my head suddenly, looked at the other person's astonished expression, and realized what I said belatedly. At this moment, I especially wanted to find a place to bury myself first. Putting the back of his hand against his face to cool down, he stammered, and his momentum suddenly weakened, "That, that... no, no, I mean... anyway, anyway..."

"Well, yes." The red-haired boy looked away unnaturally, and stood sideways, his complexion no longer as cold as before, and the roots of his ears were red.

I put down my pen, covered my face with my hands, and lay down on the table, trembling with shame.

"...don't answer at this time!"
