Chapter 153 Several Faces (Day2-Rainy Day-1730 PM)

After returning to the dormitory under the rain, Hui Yuan was immediately startled when he stepped into the living room.

It was already dusk on a rainy day, and the sky was dim.There were no lights in the house, and the entire living room was almost completely engulfed in darkness.

The only place where there is still some light is near the floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to the inner patio-style courtyard.

...but the door is open.

The clear sound of rain, mixed with the wind with scattered raindrops, was pouring in without any hindrance.

In the darkness in the center of the living room, there seemed to be a dark figure half lying on the sofa.

After seeing the figure clearly and hearing her steady and normal breathing, Hui Yuan felt relieved.

Sighing, he turned on the light in the living room.

The figure on the sofa appeared - Oroku Aoi was covering her eyes with her arms, motionless.

Because of Ayano, Haiyuan initially did not wait for Oro Aoi to return at the Rose Pavilion.But he didn't expect that Oroku Aoi seemed to be the same way - after breaking up with Kudo, she didn't go back to the Rose Hall at all, but went straight back to the dormitory by herself.

The reason seems to be...she seems to be in a very bad mood?
"Why did you just run back without saying a word..." Hui Yuanchu said helplessly, and looked at Zhe Lukui again, "... If you don't go take a shower and change clothes quickly, you will catch a cold."

Although her glasses have been taken off and her hair has been let down, Orokui is still wearing the holy knot uniform that was soaked by the rain.

It seemed that she had been sitting here without moving since she came back.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just a little tired." Zhe Lukui finally put down the arm that covered her eyes and glanced at him with an impatient expression.

"——It looks like it's more than just running to ask a few questions about Calyx." Hui Yuanchu sat next to her, turned to look at her expression and asked, "What have you done to make you so tired?"

Orokui raised her head, sighed deeply and said, "Kudo."

"What?"

"Kudou and I chatted a lot." Oroku Kui said expressionlessly, "It seems like no one talks to her usually. She seems to have been holding back for a long time."

"However, in fact, she didn't dare to say anything, not even complain, for fear that someone would hear her and file a complaint to Ijuin."

Hui Yuanchu also nodded and said: "She is quite pitiful."

Ijuin also has several faces.

She is a girl who has an admiration for him, and is a cute little sister to other flower buds, but to people below the flower buds... she can be said to be a little tyrant.

He had witnessed Ijuin's treatment of Kudo several times.And in private, where no one can see, the situation may be even more serious.

But Hui Yuan seemed to have misunderstood.

Immediately, Zhe Lukui seemed to have heard something funny, raised her head to look at him and said, "But... pitiful?"

"Isn't it pitiful to be beaten, scolded and driven around like a slave?"

But Zhe Lukui asked back: "If she doesn't want to become a slave of a big shot, then why does she want to take the Holy Knot test?"

"..."

Orilu Aoi showed disdain on her face and continued: "Don't look at Kudo Misato's pitiful appearance now... You might not have guessed that she is the daughter of the president of Hippo."

"That's right. It's Hippo, the search engine company with the highest market value now. Its president, the daughter of President Kudo, who is a newcomer on the rich list, is Misato Kudo. If she were in other places, she could be considered a powerful lady. 'Yes.

“The reason why Hippo has become a behemoth that almost monopolizes the entire Internet in just a few years is not only due to its own quality and seizing window opportunities, it is also inseparable from the investors behind it who continue to inject capital and burn money.

“And that mysterious financial sponsor is the Ijuin family.

"President Kudo himself is actually just a commoner with no background who stood in the limelight at the right time. But it seems that he is not willing to stop there, but wants to take the relationship with the Ijuin family further.

"——From a tool to a retainer.

“That’s why Misato Kudo passed the Holy Knot exam, appeared here, and stayed with Ayano Ijuin in her current capacity.

"This is also a way of being recognized."...Yes, other weeds, those specially admitted students, may have other purposes, but in essence they are just people like Kudo Misato.

"The Holy Knot exam is not difficult. It's just that the tuition is very, very high, and it has various 'traditions' that are unknown to the outside world... So, what kind of person would want to come here?

"A weed that is independent and unwilling to be attached to anyone? There is no such person here. Because such a person will never come to Holy Knot in the first place.

“The people who clearly know what kind of place Holy Knot is, but still choose to live here... No matter what they say, in fact, there is no one in the weeds here who does not look forward to the mercy of the flower buds.

"Kudo is the same person.

"Even though she is pitiful now, she seems to be very friendly to me... But as I said, if Ijuin gave a clear order, she would never hesitate before attacking me."

"...So it's nothing to be pitiful about. It's all caused by one's own fault." Zhe Lukui finally said calmly, "This place is so disgusting. There is no innocent person at all."

Hui Yuanchu looked at Zhe Lukui in astonishment.Before being told by Zhe Lukui, he really didn't think about it.

...But at this time, what was swirling in his mind was another question caused by this topic.

From Ijuin Ayano's perspective, he learned what happened before and after Oruru Aoi entered this school, but not completely.

Because from the perspective of Ijuin Ayano or anyone else, he still has no way of knowing - even if it is a stolen certificate, even if he just thinks about it for a moment, he can come to the conclusion that he cannot pretend to be fake for a long time and will be exposed soon. Oruru Aoi's mother It was also the purpose of sending her to this school.

"What about you?" He finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you enter the Holy Knot in the first place?"

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Hui Yuanchu regretted it.

He knew he had crossed a line and broken some kind of tacit understanding.

Zhe Lukui glanced at him.

Then he showed a warm smile that frightened Hui Yuan, and said in a gentle voice: "...You continue to investigate."

Hui Yuanchu looked away, pretending that the conversation just now didn't happen at all.

...Well, it’s not like I gained nothing.Her answer was an answer in itself.

he thought to himself.

Yoshiko Sato's analysis is partly correct.Orurukui allowed him to know these things.It can even be said that she is creating various opportunities and environments for him to look for.

Therefore, she naturally knew that he was already inquiring about these things, and even knew what he knew.

But no matter what the extent, she herself would not reveal even a single word.

It's like an exam with many small questions, a wrestling match that lasts for a long, long time.

Between him and her.

...But what about in the end?What would happen if we really reached the end of the questionnaire, the ending of the struggle—Hui Yuanchu really understood everything about her?
Just like other things, in this matter, Huiyuan was also unable to figure out what Zhe Lukui was thinking.

——But in short, Hui Yuanchu took a deep breath and made sure that he had a strong and firm intention on this matter——he wanted to win.

"Xiao Hui." At this time, Zhe Lukui suddenly spoke again, "I hate the Holy Knot and I hate this place."

She was sitting on the sofa, hugging her shoulders, her expression was indifferent, her eyes were fixed on the sofa with no one in front of her, and she continued.

"Princess...well, yes, of course she knows my past. So from the moment she made this request, I understood...

"Expelling the Ascended Ones? That is of course true, but it is only one of her purposes.

"She definitely wanted to make fun of me.

"But I still accepted it, so that you could get this true spirit. If not, did I think I would like to come back to this place?
"But what can I do? You are the only one I can rely on.

"You have to respond seriously to my expectations for you." She finally raised her head, seemingly returning to her usual attitude, looking at Hui Yuanchu and saying with a smile.
