Chapter 127 We kissed by accident (8K first update)
As the sun sets, the sky is dyed a mixture of orange, red and golden yellow. After the last ray of sunlight falls, the school bell finally rings as the sky darkens.
Today, Qingshuijian once again experienced what it means to live every day like a year.
The feeling of having your heart being weighed down by a heavy stone and every moment seeming to be infinitely stretched is really uncomfortable.
Throughout the afternoon, Qingshuijian's thoughts were like fallen leaves blown away by the wind, unable to concentrate.
Qingshuijian was unable to concentrate on any of the lessons and felt that time was passing unusually slowly.
As for the reasons, he knows it well.
During lunch break today, Sakurai Haruka saw the photo taken by Nishikawa Yui - the photo of Shimizu Rena kissing Shimizu Min.
Yes, the scene of Shimizu Mi kissing another girl was clearly seen by Sakurai Haruka.
Moreover, she probably wouldn't believe that it was their first time doing this. They had already kissed, and in public, so how could there be any misunderstanding?
If she says that the kiss was an accident, will she believe it?
I don’t even believe it!
So Shimizu Mi thought that Sakurai Haruka would be greatly stimulated by this incident. Maybe she would be angry, disappointed, or even use Aikido to teach this philandering man a lesson.
Because she is a yandere, it is not impossible for her to do something even more out of line.
However, Sakurai Haruka didn't react at all at that time. She just turned around and walked away without saying a word.
The silence in this situation was more heart-wrenching than any words. Shimizu couldn't even see Sakurai Haruka's expression at the time.
If Sakurai Haruka was angry about this, Shimizu might be able to try to explain, find ways to comfort and soothe her emotions.
But in fact, Sakurai Haruka didn't show any emotion, and that silence made Shimizu Ken at a loss as to where to start.
To be honest, a yandere didn't show any reaction at all after seeing her man kissing another girl.
Extremely abnormal behavior like this is often the most terrifying.
Qingshuijian had heard someone say before that he was not afraid of his girlfriend being angry, but was afraid of her being silent, especially when the other person was a severe yandere.
The current situation is clearly like putting a knife on Shimizumi's neck, but Sakurai Haruka is reluctant to cut it down.
The anxiety and uneasiness in my heart grew like a snowball.
Throughout the afternoon, at the end of each class, Shimizu Mi would go to Sakurai Haruka's class, but Sakurai Haruka would leave the classroom as soon as the class was over and her figure could not be seen at all.
So as soon as the school bell rang, Shimizu went straight to the third grade teaching building and came to Sakurai Haruka's class again.
After glancing at the sign of Class A, Grade 3, Qingshuijian walked straight into the classroom without hesitation.
The seniors who were packing their bags to go home or were still laughing and playing all turned their eyes over when the stranger suddenly came in.
Shimizu looked around the classroom but still couldn't find Sakurai Haruka.
Let her run away again...
Shimizu Miyabi gradually realized that Sakurai Haruka was deliberately avoiding him.
But in this way, he didn't even have a chance to explain himself properly.
Qing Shuijian walked up to a senior student sitting in the first row at the classroom door and asked politely, "Hello, senior student, can I ask you something?"
"Please, go ahead."
The senior student raised her head, blushed, and nodded nervously.
"Excuse me, where did Haruka go?"
"remote?"
"That's Sakurai Haruka from your class."
"…She seemed to go home right after school and didn't even go to the track club practice."
"Then do you know where she went?" Qingshuijian continued to ask.
The senior thought for a moment and whispered, "She seemed to have left from the East Gate just now... She should be heading towards Ikebukuro."
"Thank you so much."
After thanking him, Qingshuijian quickly left the classroom.
There are two ways to get back to Haruka Sakurai's apartment from Ikebukuro, but considering that Haruka Sakurai has no money, she will most likely not take the train or bus, but choose to walk.
In that case, there is only one way left.
Of course, it is also possible that Sakurai Haruka did not go home. After all, she saw the photos of Shimizu Miki kissing other women. How could a yandere not be stimulated?
Moreover, if she did not go home but hid somewhere alone, it would be difficult for Qingshuijian to find her for a while.
It is even possible that she will be like Amamiya Iori before, with her abnormality value continuing to rise, soaring all the way to one hundred, thus affecting the reality of this world and causing the world to collapse.
This is what Qingshuijian is most worried about now.
So he could only quicken his pace, seize the time to search along the way, and pray that he could find her soon.
When leaving his classroom, Shimizu Mi didn't carry his schoolbag in order to save time and find Sakurai Haruka as soon as possible.
So he sent a message to Amamiya Iori on LINE, asking her to help carry the schoolbag, and then Shimizu Mitsuki left the school immediately.
After leaving the school gate, he walked quickly in the direction of Ikebukuro, looking around for Sakurai Haruka.
Due to the rain yesterday, there was still a lot of water on the ground, making it difficult to run fast. When passing certain sections of the road, I could only carefully avoid puddles to avoid getting my trouser legs wet.
The streets are packed with people during this time period, so many that trying to find a specific person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But fortunately, Shimizu found Sakurai Haruka with incredible ease.
Sure enough, the heroines in this game are particularly conspicuous even in the crowd.
At this moment, she was near a commercial street. The girl with beautiful blonde hair was looking at her mobile phone with an anxious look on her face, as if she was struggling with whether to call a man whom she loved and hated.
However, an irritable office worker accidentally bumped into Sakurai Haruka's shoulder when he passed by her, but he did not apologize at all and walked straight towards the bus station.
Shimizu originally wanted to step forward to argue, but Sakurai Haruka, who was bumped into, accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and the phone in her hand also fell to the ground.
In such a situation, Qingshui Jian could not just sit back and watch.
Without taking the time to adjust his breathing, he quickly ran to Sakurai Haruka's side.
Sakurai Haruka stood up and reached for the fallen cell phone, but Shimizu Ken was a step faster and helped her pick up the phone.
"This one……"
Shimizu wiped the screen of the phone with the wet tissue she carried with her and returned it to Sakurai Haruka.
Sakurai Haruka was a little surprised to see Shimizu Ken suddenly appear in front of her. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself.
It was not until a few seconds later that she slowly spoke:
"who are you?"
Sakurai Haruka turned her face away, giving off a strong vibe of not wanting to talk to you.
"See you in Shimizu."
It was a very simple question, and Shimizu Mi believed that he had answered it correctly, but when Sakurai Haruka heard it, he immediately quickened his pace and left Shimizu Mi behind.
Looking at the girl not far away who was walking quickly and then stopping, Qingshuijian followed her after a moment of hesitation.
Gradually, Sakurai Haruka slowed down her pace and walked side by side with Shimizumi.
"Don't follow me."
"I thought you would want to go home with your boyfriend after school occasionally." The somewhat unexpected answer made Sakurai Haruka open her mouth slightly. She tried to make her expression look calm, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her inner panic.
"I don't have a boyfriend who kisses other girls."
Sakurai Haruka looked up at the sky. I don’t know if she was looking at the birds that occasionally flew overhead. In any case, from the beginning, she just didn’t look at Shimizu Mi.
"So you've been avoiding me. Are you planning to break up with me?"
When she suddenly heard the word "break up", Sakurai Haruka's body trembled violently.
"Obviously, obviously it was you who cheated with another girl..."
Although she felt that the truth was on her side, the sound coming out of Sakurai Haruka's throat became smaller and smaller for some unknown reason.
"Can we talk about that photo?"
Shimizu glanced sideways to peek at Sakurai Haruka's expression. For a yandere, her emotional expression was a little too bland.
Shimizu tried to guess what Sakurai Haruka was thinking at the moment - what she saw was just a photo, she didn't see it with her own eyes, and with the current level of technology, photos are likely to have been retouched through Photoshop.
Out of trust, Sakurai Haruka is probably now waiting for Shimizu to give her a reasonable explanation.
Thinking this, Shimizu looked at Sakurai Haruka again, but Sakurai Haruka kept his head up and remained silent, not even willing to make eye contact.
"Not talking to me means you really want to break up with me..."
"do not want!"
Sakurai Haruka shouted almost subconsciously, stopping Shimizu from saying that word a second time.
"Then why ..."
Qingshuijian was interrupted again.
"After all, that girl is so pretty! She's so cute, and her hair is long and beautiful. I can't do anything right. I could cause trouble just by running at the sports meet. Besides, I'm going to be suspended from school in two days. Then, I'll have to go back and..."
Sakurai Haruka's voice gradually became lower. At the end, she seemed to not have the courage to continue speaking, and pulled the words back into the depths of her throat.
"Anyway, you just like those cute girls..."
Sakurai Haruka complained in a low voice, and when Shimizu met her eyes, he realized that Sakurai Haruka, who had been looking up, had tears in her eyes.
Making women cry is definitely not Qing Shuijian's strong point.
But unfortunately, Shimizu always makes things like this.
Whether it was Amamiya Iori at the beginning, or Shimizu Reina at the station yesterday, or Sakurai Haruka standing in front of him at this moment, without exception, they all shed tears because of him.
"She's just my sister." Shimizu tried to explain.
"Don't give me that. God knows whether she is your real sister or a fake one. Besides, you both... have done that. Obviously, even I haven't..."
Sakurai Haruka stammered, her watery eyes avoiding glancing at Shimizu Ken's lips.
Indeed, in this round, Shimizu Mi has never kissed Sakurai Haruka. Although she should have some memories related to Shimizu Mi from the first round in her mind, she herself did not realize that it had happened.
After all, who could have guessed that they were in a game world and that the timeline of this world had been artificially reset?
Suddenly, Sakurai Haruka, who had been secretly glancing at Shimizu, stretched out her slender fingers and touched his lips.
"Haruka, that photo is really not what you think."
"How could it not be like that after they kissed? Could it be that the photo was fake?"
Shimizumi's lips were suddenly pressed by Sakurai Haruka's fingers, and she could only utter syllables like "hmm". The vibration of her lips was transmitted to her fingers, making her feel numb and tingling.
"……Um."
“Is the photo really fake?”
Sakurai Haruka seemed to have mistaken the sound made by Shimizumi's lips being pressed as a confirmation. Shimizumi originally wanted to explain, but the expectation flashing in the girl's eyes made it difficult for him to speak for a moment.
And because of this moment of hesitation, Qingshui Jian found it even more difficult to speak afterwards.
"So, you really haven't kissed other girls, see?"
"You care about this kind of thing?"
Shimizu Mi had heard that a girl's first kiss would be more unforgettable than her first night.
"Of course, who wouldn't care about their boyfriend's first kiss? I definitely hope that the first kiss is mine."
"……how about yours?"
Perhaps because he felt guilty, Shimizu Mi shifted the topic to Sakurai Haruka.
"Is there any need to ask? I have never held hands with other boys."
Sakurai Haruka looked embarrassed and annoyed and was about to twist his arm.
Come to think of it, she had always attended an all-girls school, and essentially, like Reina Shimizu, she had very little contact with men, so let alone a first kiss, even holding hands and hugging were new to her.
But it was precisely because of Sakurai Haruka's clear conscience that Shimizu felt even more guilty when facing her.
"So that photo is really fake? You and her really didn't kiss?"
Sakurai Haruka brought the topic back again. She stared at Shimizu Jian and made a weak, almost trembling voice. Her watery eyes staring at Shimizu Jian seemed to be saying, "Jian, tell me, that photo is fake..."
Yes, Shimizu almost forgot that the girl standing in front of him was the one who was willing to believe him even when she said, “My cat will bite people’s necks.” As long as Shimizu nodded now, she would definitely choose to trust him unconditionally again.
"Haruka, I..."
“That photo is real!”
The sudden intrusive voice came from beside Shimizumi. He subconsciously looked over and found that it was Nishikawa Yui who he met during lunch break.
"Senior, that photo is real! I was there at the time and I saw the whole process! And there's a video of it!"
As if she had chosen this inappropriate occasion, Nishikawa Yui walked up to the two of them from across the street.
"Record, record?"
Sakurai Haruka's gaze rested on a black SLR camera held in Nishikawa Yui's hand.
"Yes, please look at this, Senior."
Nishikawa Yui turned the camera over and brought the picture closer to show Sakurai Haruka. At the same time, she was wary of Shimizu Ken beside her, as if she was afraid that he would snatch the evidence in the camera.
"This, this is..."
Sakurai Haruka's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty.
In the next few minutes, in front of Sakurai Haruka, Nishikawa Yui played the whole process of Shimizu Ken and Shimizu Reina having lip syncing at the station.
From beginning to end, not a single second was missed. After watching it, Sakurai Haruka seemed to be emitting a thick black aura that was invisible to the naked eye, and her whole body exuded a heavy and depressed feeling.
Sure enough, the impact of the video is much greater than that of a small photo.
Even Qing Shuijian himself felt his heart broken when he saw this scene again.
Not to mention that a yandere watched her boyfriend being kissed by another girl with her own eyes. Qingshui Jianguang felt as if the top of his head was about to be blown off by a huge force just watching from the side.
And at this moment, there are people nearby fanning the flames.
"Senior, as everyone knows, videos cannot be photoshopped!"
