After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 186 - 185: A Slap

Watching Kagura Hikaru walk away, Kiryu Hina stopped crying almost immediately.

When she lowered her hands, her eyes were devoid of tears.

She calmly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Kohinata Motoyo also lifted her head, her expression somewhat helpless.

"Hina, you’re still as bad at crying scenes as ever."

"Shut up."

"Kagura’s acting and insight are almost on par with mine, he probably saw through it too."

"..."

Kiryu Hina sat down in silence.

She had thought that by crying a little, she could garner some sympathy for herself, which would naturally lead to a dialog of ’mutual forgiveness.’

Because that’s the kind of person Kagura Hikaru is, tender-hearted; even if he knew there was acting involved, he wouldn’t ignore a crying girl.

In middle school, Kiryu Hina both loved and hated his excessive kindness.

This inclusiveness was what made Kagura Hikaru charming, but it also often attracted other girls, and Kiryu Hina had spent a lot of effort driving them away.

In her anticipation, it was supposed to be a success.

But Kagura Hikaru had changed.

He didn’t choose to stay for her; instead, he left without hesitation, abandoning them. Explore more at novelbuddy

Was it because of her, or because of Ayakoji Chiyoko?

No matter what the reason, it made Kiryu Hina’s chest tighten.

A heavy sense of regret weighed on her heart, making it hard to breathe.

"Hina, let’s join forces."

Kohinata Motoyo, somewhat anxious, extended her hand tentatively to Kiryu Hina, "We now have a common enemy. I think there should be room for collaboration, what do you think?"

"I suggest you give up," Kiryu Hina said coldly, "If you make a move against Ayakoji Chiyoko, you might end up like me."

"...Hina, what exactly did you do to them?"

"Mister Hikaru never really liked Ayakoji Chiyoko, I forced him to date that woman, that’s all you need to know."

"Hina..."

"I know what you want to say, but I don’t have a reason to be accused by you," Kiryu Hina glared at her bitterly, "Don’t pretend to have forgotten what you’ve done in the past."

"Even so, you shouldn’t have hurt Kagura."

"...I know."

"Sigh." Kohinata Motoyo sighed, "The way we are now probably looks ridiculous to others."

Three girls with bright futures, all chasing the same phantom of the past, none willing to let go.

It was incredible that such a distorted relationship could happen in reality.

If the parties involved were oneself, then it was even harder to judge.

"Don’t pity yourself; we all deserve this," Kiryu Hina gestured to Kohinata Motoyo, "Bring your face here."

"? Why?"

"Just do it."

"..."

Kohinata Motoyo moved her face closer with confusion.

And then, she received a slap from Kiryu Hina.

Slap!

Kohinata Motoyo’s beautiful face turned to the side in disbelief, covering her cheek and looking back.

"That slap is the price you pay for deceiving me," Kiryu Hina said calmly as she withdrew her hand and disgustedly took out a handkerchief from her skirt pocket to wipe her palm, "Don’t approach Kagura Hikaru again, and stop playing the friend game with me. You’d better go back to studying in Europe right now."

"..."

"Heh, today was indeed a productive conversation. I feel much better now, thank you, goodbye."

Kiryu Hina said with a smile as she rose to leave.

Beneath the lively maple tree, one by one, people left, leaving Kohinata Motoyo alone.

The cheek that had been hit was prickly and sore to the touch, sensitive like freshly grown skin, definitely reddened quite a bit.

"Really, I didn’t expect Hina to resort to violence, I’ll have to update my impression of her."

She slowly leaned back in her chair, gazing up at the sky.

In her clear pupils reflected the sun, blue sky, and vivid, magnificent clouds.

Such thick clouds, looks like it’s going to rain again in the next few days.

After leaving the courtyard, Kagura Hikaru was looking for a place to have lunch.

He didn’t want to go back to the classroom.

The classroom was too noisy and didn’t suit his current mood, and he might run into Kiryu Hina again, so Kagura Hikaru wanted some temporary respite.

He was tired of thinking about his issues with her.

Just as he had told Kiryu Hina before, he wouldn’t forgive her, nor would she forgive him.

So, it was better to just leave it as is.

If they didn’t continue to intertwine, everyone could be happy.

Walking along the pathway in the courtyard, Kagura Hikaru pondered where in the school was both quiet and suitable for sitting down to eat.

Then, unexpectedly, he ran into Ai Cheng Hua Lian, who was coming out of a teaching building.

She was alone, holding a chocolate bread in her hand, and obviously had not expected to meet him there, her face showing surprise as she looked at Kagura Hikaru.

Kagura Hikaru thought she was going to run away again, because of the earlier snitching she directed at Kiryu Hina.

But unexpectedly, Ai Cheng Hua Lian quickly gathered her courage and walked over to him.

"Yo, yo! Good morning, Kagura."

"It’s already afternoon."

"Is it? Seems like it, ahaha..." Ai Cheng Hua Lian, nervous, didn’t know where to put her hands, momentarily placing them at her chest and then behind her back, looking awkwardly uncomfortable, "Kagura, have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet, I haven’t found a place."

"Eh? Wasn’t the spot in the courtyard okay?"

"It was taken by someone else today."

"Is that so..." Ai Cheng Hua Lian took a deep breath to relax, then smiled at him, "Then, how about going to my place?"

"Your place?"

"Yes, I know a great spot! Let’s go!"

Ai Cheng Hua Lian led the way in a certain direction, her skirt swaying vivaciously.

Perhaps it’s fitting for a member of the Volleyball Club, her thighs were well-toned, neither too fat nor too skinny, and her skin was also very fair.

Kagura Hikaru was careful not to let his gaze fall on any inappropriate places, but Ai Cheng Hua Lian still noticed, turning back to him with a puzzled look, "Kagura, what is it?"

"Nothing..."

"Liar, you were looking at my skirt."

"..."

"Eh, just as I suspected, you noticed," Ai Cheng Hua Lian said, seeming embarrassed while lifting her skirt.

Underneath, she wore a pair of sports shorts.

"Hehe, actually, I’ve always been uncomfortable wearing skirts, always worried about someone seeing up them, so since I was little, I liked wearing shorts under my skirt. Oh, and of course, I’m properly wearing underwear too!"

Kagura Hikaru: "..."

He wished he could throw that momentary expectation he felt into the river.

"... Ai Cheng."

"Yes?"

"You can put your skirt down now, you’re being very unladylike."

"Eh? Oh, okay..."

Finally realizing the inappropriateness of her actions, Ai Cheng Hua Lian’s face turned red, and she quickly smoothed down her skirt, speeding up her pace.

"It’s, it’s just up ahead!"

"Okay."
