I do not wish to engage in a war of words with this demon on such an unfortunate day as today

How dare you! I glared at Takano with all my anger and continued, "How could you suddenly appear! You wouldn't be secretly following me, would you!"

"Hey, Takashi Asano, I am really angry!" Reflecting on how he pulled me out of the classroom yesterday and then left me alone in the park, I became furious.

That despicable fellow, Takashi Asano! I knew he would never improve!

Alright, alright, I apologize!

Is there? Is there? Absolutely none. He deliberately shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be very helpless, which was truly annoying

"Takahiro Asano, let go!" I scolded him sternly once again as I tousled his disheveled hair.

"You can be narcissistic all you want, you despicable person, Takano! I would never like a guy like you who is so self-absorbed, domineering, and clueless!" Looking at his narcissistic demeanor, I angrily placed my hands on my hips and glared at him

Thus, I returned home while bickering with Takashi Asano all the way. I do not know why, but every time I am with Takashi Asano, even the inexplicable little annoyances possess a power that allows me to savor them for a long time

"Hello, Kawashima Ne." A familiar voice came from behind.

Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. I was wrong, I'm sorry, is that okay? Seeing me in such a fierce manner, Takano lowered his head, revealing a pleading expression.

Looking at his departing figure, I really want to ask him, if I am truly as good as he says, then why does he not like me

Really? This guy still seems to be in disbelief

Xia Fan's words echoed in my ears

"Isn't it just a rejection of a confession? What is so great about Xia Fan? Her charm is not even half of mine! We have been friends for so many years, and you still haven't developed any feelings for me. Truly, you have no eye for talent." Asano Takashi began to indulge in self-satisfaction, looking quite pleased with himself.

I insist, I insist...

"Hey, Kawashima and Tushuyin, you said you like me because you find me very familiar. Does that mean there is someone else in your heart?"

Cut it out! My narcissism and dominance are considered virtues by others! Only you fail to appreciate them! Alright! Don't be angry! Be good! There are plenty of boys in the whole school, not just Xia Fan!" To my surprise, Asano Takashi broke through his usual mocking attitude towards me and unexpectedly offered me comfort.

Carrying a sense of resentment, I went alone to the park at the other end of the school

Reflecting on Xia Fan's rejection this morning, I find myself overwhelmed with a great deal of sorrow to express. However, looking around me, I realize that there isn't even a single shoulder to lean on, which instantly fills me with a sense of sadness. I should have called Ando Koto earlier; at least I would have had someone by my side for companionship.

As Takashi Asano approached step by step, I fervently prayed in my heart that he had not heard my earlier roar

A certain string in my heart suddenly trembled, as if I still felt a bit inexplicably shy in the face of his somewhat intimate gesture

Oh, Takashi Asano seems a bit strange today...

Oh my, how did this guy appear

Turning around, Takano Takashi unexpectedly appeared not far behind me

Oh dear, are you annoying or what? If you ask me again, I won't forgive you!

Takahiro Asano, you seem quite strange today! How come your temper has suddenly improved? Usually, you are quite harsh on me!" I asked, pretending to be puzzled.

Hmph! I tilted my head, not wanting to pay attention to him

"Fool, I'm leaving! Don't be too sad! You are great! That international student doesn't like you; it's his loss." With these words, Takano Asano turned and left.

"Hello, this is a bit unlike your usual self, have you taken the wrong medicine?" I looked at him in confusion.

Standing quietly in place, watching the back of Takashi Asano, a strange feeling suddenly began to spread in my heart

Before I could even gather my thoughts, Takano Takashi tugged at the hem of my clothes, pulling me forward and abruptly cutting off my recollections

Thump thump

Seeing you angry makes me laugh, what's wrong! This guy truly lives up to being my mischievous friend, spending all day making it his hobby to tease me

"In light of your sincerity, I shall forgive you." I stuck out my tongue and said reluctantly

Do not talk to me! Do not mess with my hair!

"In light of your forgiveness, let us go, I will escort you home!" Takano turned around and walked ahead.

"Hmph, you wish! I wouldn't stalk you. I just happened to see a silly girl here shouting in boredom while I was out buying a cold drink!" Takano Asano replied proudly, lifting his head.

Is my anger, my rage, partly because he has hit upon my thoughts?

sweat

He actually said sorry to me, I thought he would angrily retort instead

Yes, really!

"Hey, Takashi Asano, stop pulling my hair all the time!" On the way home, Takashi Asano kept fiddling with my hair, tugging and winding it around his fingers, looking somewhat affectionate.

Haha, Kawashima, why are you so hopeless? Did you get rejected in your confession?

After a day of attending classes in a daze, as soon as the bell rang, I quickly fled the classroom. I didn't even pay attention to Ando's calls.

Confirm?

Unforgivable

Who would have thought that in the next second ... ...

"Isn't it true that after teasing you yesterday, I still feel a bit guilty? Although girls like you, with looks and figure so secure, are quite rare, you are still a girl, right?" Takano's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Damn Xia Fan, if you don't like me, why do you still save me in front of everyone? Do boys only see tall and beautiful women?" I shouted in frustration at the empty park. After shouting, I instinctively glanced at my own slender figure and helplessly lowered my head.

This guy must know that I was rejected when I confessed to Xia Fan, which is why he came over to continue mocking me

This is a disaster, a huge embarrassment
