Chapter 143 – Takahashi begins to chase after him

With the cool night breeze blowing in the moonlight, Sakurajima’s expression gradually calmed down, but the movement was still holding Aoi’s arm, and the few of them headed in the direction of the garage together.

Aoi Natsuki stole glances at her every now and then, and there was no talking between the two of them along the way.

It wasn’t until Hayakawa, who was blushing from behind, called out Aoi’s name that the two turned their heads in unison.

Natsuki Aoi looked at Hayakawa, her left hand constantly snapping her right thumb as she cautiously asked, “Is it really okay to just, just walk away like that?”

Hayakawa was mainly worried about what bad effects this would have on Sakurajima’s follow-up.

However, Aoi and Sakurajima, who heard this, looked at each other, and then the corners of their mouths rose.

Sakurajima Apricot spoke up, “It’s okay, it’s just a game.”

“I’m mostly worried about those judges ……” Hayakawa stammered.

Sakurajima apricot raised her eyebrows, “Why should I be so focused on what other people think? They’re not my friends, why should I care what they think of me.”

When these words came out, Hayakawa Keiko was suddenly enlightened, about this, her consciousness of thought was not as high as Sakurajima’s, she would always unconsciously care about other people’s feelings and opinions, and in the end, instead, her own behavior would become constrained, and she also lived a very tiring life.

Sakurajima apricot looked towards Hayakawa, then let go of Aoi’s wrist, under this action, Aoi Natsuki actually felt a moment of inner emptiness, marvelous feelings, today’s Sakurajima apricot really brought him a great inner impact.

Sakurajima took a small step in front of Hayakawa, her deep, dangling eyes narrowed and elongated because of her smile as she slowly raised her right hand and gently rested it on her shoulder as she said, “Hayakawa’s still really cute~”

Hayakawa didn’t expect Sakurajima to say that out of the blue, and his face reddened in an instant.

“You’re the ones who are my friends, and as far as what other people think of me, I won’t give a damn.”

Sakurajima’s infectious voice entered Hayakawa’s and Takahashi’s ears, and both of them were more or less touched. Hayakawa is an emotional person, and when Sakurajima said that, his heart immediately softened, and he nodded his head, probably repeating in his mind, “Sakurajima is really a very good person.” I’m sure he’s still repeating “Sakurajima is really a good person!

However Aoi Natsuki, who was watching, had a different opinion in his mind.

After these months of contact with Sakurajima, her attitude towards strangers was very cold, it was probably the same as when Sakurajima met him at the very beginning, he himself was not bad, Sakurajima at least had been interested in him for some reason, but by and large under her perspective, he was the same as all the others, and that could be well explained with a -1 favorability rating, and strangers in her eyes might not even have the basic perception of being the same. not even have the base perception of being like.

Thinking about it, he was really glad that he finally managed to get Sakurajima to change his mind about them with time, and his favorability rating made a big turnaround.

“But there’s some truth in what Hayakawa said, the internet is so advanced nowadays, if someone writes you a small article about this, even though you don’t care, your subsequent daily life will still be affected to a certain extent.” Aoi Natsuki said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll set it right.” Sakurajima Apricot smiled mysteriously.

Takahashi beside Hayakawa felt incredibly dreamy about what happened today, just like a dream, and now that he thought back to that conversation when he was pitied by Sakurajima to come over for the tournament, how did it feel like he was being particularly stupid?

The thought tightened his brow with it.

Sakurajima Apricot was now in a mood to recover as before, then she took a deep breath and said, “Should we take advantage of this opportunity right now for the four of us to go and have a barbecue together?”

“Don’t, I’m in a hurry to get home.” Aoi Natsuki bluntly refused.

“I just want a good night’s sleep now!” Takahashi’s tone was disgruntled.

Seeing this, Sakurajima Apricot had to put her last hope on Hayakawa.

But Hayakawa, likewise, after hesitating, bowed slightly towards her, “Sorry …… my family is still waiting for me to start dinner, so ……”

“What’s going on ……,” Sakurajima Apricot trailed off in a long voice that was incredibly lost at the moment.

The feeling of loss of not being able to go and eat barbecue with the group came more strongly than the result of the competition.

“That’s it then.” Aoi Natsuki offered to go first, and seeing that several people had the intention of wanting to leave, Sakurajima Apricot, full of unhappiness, took a small step forward and stood in front of Aoi and pouted, “Aoi~”

“I’m immune to that now, so have a safe trip.” Natsuki Aoi smiled faintly and raised his right hand in a gesture, turning his head and continuing on his way.

The so-called immunity is officially attributed to these months of persistent galgame’s gaming career, pouting this teasing male stunt also after repeated voice over and over again, Aoi Natsuki reached a pouting resistance of 99%.

In addition, the resistance to the phrases “you’re so loud” and “I like you the most” has been stretched to 100%, and every galgame game has a happy end as well as a haughty female character, so I’ve been asking for a long time. Numb.

After Aoi Natsuki left, Sakurajima Apricot lightly bobbed her head as if she had lost a very interesting toy, said goodbye to the rest of the two again, and then took out her cell phone, called a cab online, and headed straight for home.

And half an hour later, Aoi Natsuki, who was riding his bike back home, had actually been thinking about it during the midway ride, and the more he thought about it, the more he panicked.

Yeah, in case it’s misinterpreted that Sakurajima couldn’t afford to lose and then left the stage angrily, uninformed netizens could easily be led and end up forming an internet riot, and maybe Sakurajima herself doesn’t care, but this thing, if it does happen, will have a huge negative impact on her daily life.

With some concern in his mind, Aoi Natsuki parked his car and stood at the entrance door of the foyer, and before pulling out his key to unlock the door, he took out his cell phone and opened the school forum to see how this matter had further festered.

I hope things don’t get too serious!

The loading page had been bouncing around because of the number of visitors, and it wasn’t until more than ten seconds later that the homepage finally popped up, and Aoi Natsuki scrolled down, and just as he saw the first post, he instantly let out a voice of astonishment from his mouth.

“Sister is so handsome! So handsome!”

Hmm?

Scroll down further and it’s almost always posts like this exclaiming about it.

The netizens didn’t seem to want to cyberstorm her, but instead, unexpectedly praised her actions?

Totally didn’t expect that to happen.

From this moment on, Sakurajima Apricot is considered to have truly started to become popular on the internet.

A video titled “Jumping 3,142 votes in half an hour, a shady talent show?” The video quickly skyrocketed the number of hits on major video sites, and overnight, the number of hits on the entire network exceeded two million plays.

……

Sakurajima Apricot is even hotter than expected, with two media outlets already coming to the school for interviews after less than four days of the incident, and the video of her performance and subsequent outraged stance now has close to 20 million total hits across the internet, with over 60,000 comments straight away.

Aoi Natsuki for the first time deeply feel the feeling of having a celebrity friend, as long as it is after school, the entire first class entrance is surrounded, has been from the back door of the first class can be squeezed to the front door of the second class, before it is still just a normal pursuit, now has become a little crazy.

The online reviews were lopsided in her favor, a point of consideration that Aoi Natsuki had previously overlooked was that often the general public was extremely disgusted when confronted with shady practices in the capital markets, so Sakurajima’s shady performance had in turn given her a huge wave of fans.

Coupled with her looks and outstanding performance, the entire school forum was almost constantly refreshed with her posts.

Even because of her, it also affected the other characters in the video, about the boy who held her hand before she left the scene, that is, Aoi Natsuki herself, amazingly enough, after this incident, even her own nearly half a year reigning vote for the most hated boy in the whole school has slipped, although it is still the first place, but it is already only not a few dozens of votes higher than the second place.

Count it as congratulatory, right?

Aoi Natsuki smiled bitterly for a moment, twirling the black pen in his right hand as the window to his left was pulled open a crack, blowing a faintly chilly breeze, which was a few moments of crispness.

“Aoi, I have good news for you!” Yusuke at the front table turned around with haste.

“What’s wrong?”

Yusuke reached into his pocket, then pulled out a car key and rested it on the desktop, “I just mentioned the electric car yesterday, I’ll take you to see it after school.”

“Wow, with an electric car, it’s quite convenient to go home, where did you get the money? I remember you have never had the habit of saving money.”

“About that ……” Yusuke averted his eyes sheepishly.

One look at the state of affairs, and it was clear that the money wasn’t from the parents, and it seemed that the way was still a little hard to tell.

“Where did you buy it used?”

“How could it be! I personally went to the specialty store to mention it OK, ahem, tell you also all right, this money …… is the basketball team manager sent me the competition bonus, almost about thirty thousand.”

“Thirty thousand wouldn’t be enough.”

“Plus the point she borrowed, ah ah, just don’t ask in depth, I’m buying a car now anyway.”

Look at Yusuke’s state. He’s a bit formal.

Aoi Natsuki suddenly realized something, leaned forward, slowly approached Yusuke, and asked softly, “It’s not possible that the manager of your team is a woman, is it?”

“Count on it, sort of.”

“So is it or isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Oh~” Aoi Natsuki nodded meaningfully, “So it’s the dark side of the willow na.”

“…… Why didn’t I realize you had such a broken mouth before.”

“Hahaha.” Aoi Natsuki laughed brightly and reached out to pat Yusuke’s shoulder.

Until after school.

Yusuke led him to the garage, and at the deepest part of the garage he saw a small battery-operated car with an orange cushion and a white shell, which he had expected to be a larger model, but never expected it to be this lightweight model.

With a smile on his face, Yusuke stepped forward and took out his key, unlocking the basket in front of him and removing a helmet from it, which he then handed to Arai, “Let’s go! Let’s get going!”

Yusuke pushed the electric bike out of the shed and sat sideways on the cushion, not to mention, originally Aoi would have thought that it would be very awkward for his height of 5’9″ to ride on this kind of lightweight model, but he didn’t expect it to be quite a good match.

It’s very close to the vestigial feeling you get when watching Silver Soul when Ginzo rides his scooter.

Natsuki Arai then put on his helmet and was about to get into his car when he heard someone call his name from a distance.

When I looked up, I realized it was Takahashi Mito.

“Anything?”

Takahashi Mito trotted up to him, as if she’d been running for a while, breathing slightly heavily, and holding a small square box in her hand, “This, you take.”

Natsuki Arai probed over, the square box was clear plastic and the first thing he saw was the cookies neatly placed inside, a slight curiosity in his eyes as he looked up.

“Did you do that?”

“Well …… the last time I came to your house, you didn’t go out, the cookies I made at that time I feel very good, so this time I made chocolate sandwich cookies, do you, do you want to try it?” Takahashi Mito moves a little hesitant, and eventually hands it over with both hands, but just pushes it out less than twenty centimeters away, her eyes never daring to look at him.

Aoi Natsuki’s eyes held a startled color, and her gaze first looked at Takahashi, then it fell on that square box.

Time seemed to freeze, and he was slow to move.

Yusuke, who was on the side, was thinking of flirting and whistling with his fingers resting against his lips, but sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, he also immediately put away his movements and inclined his eyes to the other end.

“You, don’t get me wrong, I’ve been learning baking lately, so I’m just getting you some when I make more.” Takahashi Midu’s heart was so dull, to prevent embarrassment, he hurriedly explained.

“No, that’s not what I meant.” Aoi Natsuki snapped back to her senses and shook her head, “I’m just surprised that you’ve changed so much, the person you were before was never like this.”

“People always change.” Takahashi Mito said softly as she buttoned her cheeks.

High and proud posture can be seen under the very twisted, before that see him will flow out of the contemptuous gaze, also do not know when to start, but began to not dare to look directly at him, speaking voice have become gentle.

“Uh, thanks.” Aoi Natsuki took the square box, followed by a flash, “By the way, I’m still preparing about the return gift, I’ll tell you in advance when the time comes, so just be patient for a bit longer.”

He subconsciously put a faint smile on his face.

When Takahashi Midu saw this, her entire back followed by a tingle, her heartbeat spiraled up, and the tingling sensation kept rising from her waist, to the entire back, and eventually to her neck, and the entire back of her head went numb.

“Well ……”

Takahashi beauty is difficult to communicate normally again, now she can really understand Hayakawa’s previous mood, not only do not know what to say, even the hands are unconsciously trembling, limbs ice cold, Hayakawa is surprisingly in such a state, but also can do so many things well …… Now she understands Hayakawa’s efforts and determination, which also infected her on the This relationship began to have a new side of the preparation.

“So, I’ll go first? Yusuke and I still have to get something to eat.”

“Good, be careful on your way.”

This all the way careful four words out, sitting in the main seat of the first time Yusuke are almost did not tense, back to look at the delicate young girl in front of the eyes, slightly lowered his head, hands back and forth rubbing the tiger’s mouth, right foot tiptoe, left and right friction on the ground.

It’s not a personality change, it’s just a different person alright!
