Stray Chapter 66: Lonely people are observant
"Um...I don't think I'd dare to help, I'm so sorry."
After a simple empathy, Hikigu also had to admit that if he and the other party were in a different position at that time, it seemed that there was no other choice.
A sensible person will choose to be wise and safe, and can only choose to be wise and safe.
So, Hikigu also knew that his resentment was very unreasonable, so he honestly apologized in return.
But he still had something to say: "But it's one thing to dare not help, and it's another thing to help the emperor to abuse him. Even if you don't speak for me, you don't need to help Hiratsuka-sensei with such viciousness. It's a plan."
"Come on, if you didn't want to pull me into the water, how could I have to express my opinion under the pressure of the teacher?" Xia Ran waved his hand, of course he refused to admit that it was his own problem.
At the end of the day, if Hikigaya hadn't proposed a democratic vote to resolve disputes in the first place, there would have been no chance of this happening either.
"Okay, okay... that's what you said." The dead fish-eyed boy had nothing to say and could only sigh.
Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion, and in this case, it's useless to say anything, and even Hikigu thinks that maybe he should be thankful.
Because at least things didn't go to the worst, although he was forced to join an inexplicable society, but one of the members of the society at least was someone he knew, which was enough to let him breathe a sigh of relief...
——Although strictly speaking, it is a person who has only met once and said two words.
However, compared to strangers who have never met or spoken to, I don't know how much better.
As long as I think that I have to join a completely unfamiliar society, in the face of complete strangers, I sit there dumbfounded and watch them chat happily, talk eloquently, and have friendly exchanges, but I am embarrassed and can't get in. Watching and listening...
Hikigu has a creepy, shuddering feeling.
He looked at the boy in front of him, and began to sincerely appreciate that he had just found a place to be lazy in physical education class just now, otherwise, he would not have met the one in front of him to ask for directions.
However, it seems that the campus rumors and the like are also full of rumors that are not true.
About this person in front of him, Bikigu naturally knows him, because even a guy like him is so withdrawn and has no friends, he has heard it many times—
Anyway, it's a "proud genius", "an incomprehensible monster", "everyone is ignored by him", "the names of classmates are not eligible to be remembered"... and so on, etc. statement.
There are various opinions, and there are n+1 versions from rumors. Anyway, it is a weird person who is neither friendly nor friendly...Many boys believe this, or should say that they are not " Belief" rather than "need".
——It's like Yukinoshita's performance is too good, and it is a matter of course that he has become the public enemy of the girl group. This is probably the situation.
But from Hikigu's point of view, although it was only two brief encounters, he could feel that this person's personality was not as eccentric as the rumors said, and he was arrogant and difficult to approach.
The tone and demeanor are all very natural, and there is no hypocrisy in the eyes... It is exactly like most ordinary boys, just because they have met and talked before, they can quickly to bring the relationship closer.
I feel like a nice person to get along with.
So, Hikigaya is really wondering, how did those rumors come about?
Is it because my insight is too poor, so I can't see the disguise of the person in front of me... Or is it because the insight of those people who spread the truth is too strong, even things that don't exist can see get...
Sure enough, because you are inferior to others, you are jealous because of it, right?
Hikigu thought so.
……
……
"This is the club's activity room...don't be so surprised, we don't need any special venues, and we don't need any special facilities."
He brought Hikigu to the vacant classroom on the east side of the fourth floor of the special building. Xia Ran knew what he was thinking just by looking at it, so he explained it, and by the way, he also explained what the club itself was doing. of.
Indeed, there is nothing special about the activity room of the Ministry of Service. There is nothing written on the door number. The tables and chairs in the classroom are randomly stacked in one corner, and there is no decoration...
——It is quite normal to be considered a utility room, warehouse, etc. Xia Ran thought so at the beginning.
"Help those in need, that's what this club does..."
Hikigu muttered to himself, then shook his head in confusion, "But what does this have to do with me, does Hiratsuka-sensei think I can help someone and help them?"
"Don't worry about this, as far as the current situation is concerned, I think you are in a position to be helped, Hikigu... The teacher should want us to be friends with you."
Xia Ran said casually, launching a knowing strike.
I didn't find the dead fish-eye boy turning gray in an instant behind him. He searched the activity room for a while, but didn't find anything like a blank application form, so he sighed, turned around and walked towards the door.
"There is no application form in the activity room... Although I don't think that thing is really useful, but just to inform Yukinoshita, I should also go and tell me, are you waiting here, or come with me Going to class j in Year 2?"
"Then I'll just wait here." Hikigu replied without hesitation, and pretended to turn his head to look at the activity room, as if he was suddenly interested in this vacant classroom.
So, what a lonely guy!
How is it possible to have friends like this? Humans with real fish lips...
But Xia Ran wouldn't be surprised by this, he just asked casually. Since the other party didn't want to go, he didn't need to force him, so he didn't say anything, just opened the door and walked out.
“…”
“…”
Then, in the activity room that was completely quiet, Hikigaya was the only one left.
He pretended to maintain that posture, and looked at the vacant classroom with great interest, as if he was very interested in the unused desks and chairs, so he almost took out a magnifying glass to study it.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
I don't know if half a minute or a minute has passed.
Slowly, the cold sweat of Hikigu, who had been unable to get a response from someone behind him, broke out. What did the other party mean? Why don't you speak all the time, just staring at yourself from behind like this without saying a word?
——He really doesn't want to go!
After all, that's Yukinoshita... Is there anyone else with this surname in this school besides that beautiful girl? Does the top caste really have any need to deal with people like him?
In this way, another full minute passed, and it seemed that I finally felt that I could no longer bear the faint gaze from behind.
Bikigu took a deep breath, tried to squeeze out a smile, and turned around: "Xia Ran, can you stop looking at me like that, I really don't want to..."
The voice came to an abrupt end.
He was the only one in the empty activity room, the door was tightly closed, and the sun outside the window had already begun to slant west, making it seem silent and quiet, as if he was the only one left in the world...
Or rather, he was alone and abandoned by the whole world.
Hikigu is a person who understands loneliness very well, and enjoys loneliness very much, at least he thinks so. If it was in the past, he would probably seize the opportunity to be alone and savor such a quiet scene.
But now, he somehow feels a chill down his spine...
It doesn't make sense, obviously I didn't hear any sound, neither voice nor footsteps, let alone the sound of opening and closing the door...
Because he didn't hear anything, he took it for granted that the other party was standing behind him, looking at him without saying a word. To be fair, probably all normal people would think so.
After taking a sip of saliva with some difficulty, Bi Qigu walked quickly to the door of the activity room, stretched out his hand and pulled the door.
The door was not locked, it was easily pulled open, the corridor outside the door was empty, but there was no sudden appearance of a fangs grimace or a **** mouth... Although it was ridiculous, Bikigu subconsciously Breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, I think too much, the plot in the movie is all fictional after all, how can it really happen in reality?
However, I didn't hear the sound at all just now... How should I explain this?
Hikigu frowned, pulled the door open again, and listened to its dull, distinct sound, and the expression on his face became even more bizarre. Next, he kept opening, closing, opening, closing the door...
Continuously changing the force of opening and closing the door, or changing the speed of opening and closing the door.
That's it, his face is getting more and more weird, and he feels that he can't understand what's going on, because no matter how he adjusts, no matter how careful he is, it is impossible to keep the door silent.
Still so dull, so obvious.
Could it be that I just became deaf? Otherwise, how could such an inexplicable supernatural phenomenon appear?
——Lonely people are always observant.
……
……
The other side.
Xia Ran has come outside the classroom of Class J for 2nd year. He stopped in the corridor outside to think for a moment. He was not sure whether to call Yukinoshita directly. After all, the class is already in session. .
The campus is also quiet, the long corridors are empty, and there are no people in the atrium. Compared with the lively and noisy during the break time, although many classrooms are hearing the sound of class at the moment.
But it still feels very quiet.
