Love Comes After Learning

"Don't confuse the lonely with the outcast. I always go to the beautiful garden with cherry blossoms to eat bento. That is the real food."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked disbelieving: "You? Don't tell me that you didn't have half a friend before. You only made your high school debut after meeting a beautiful girl. Your popularity began to explode, and your life was dyed with rose-colored youth. That's what the protagonist of the novel has. treatment."

"Congratulations, you guessed it right, except for the protagonist of the novel." Asada took a sip of the black tea, rubbing his fingers lightly on the rim of the cup.

"To be honest, I used to be just like you, a hopeless sophomore in high school."

That indifferent and melancholy tone made Hikigaya Hachiman want to punch him a little bit.

"Won't your conscience hurt when you say such things?"

"I really don't." Asada shrugged, "Believe it or not, apart from those guys I just met, the only gay friends I have now are..."

He snapped his fingers and counted one by one.

"Fuutarou Uesugi, I am lucky, Yu Ishigami."

I'm done counting.

He turned his head and pointed at it with a smile.

"Also, Hikigu Hachiman, that's all four."

"..."

Although he didn't want to admit it, this silence meant that Hikigu Hachiman's heart suddenly missed a beat.

As if being hit in the chest by a 150-speed straight ball on the court, he turned his face subconsciously, and laughed mockingly with his tight mouth.

"Hey, that, that's really an honor... So, you came out because you couldn't stay there any longer? Aren't you afraid of affecting your "Everyone is a good friend plan"?"

Asada rolled his eyes again, this awkward guy really can't speak human words, every word seems to be driving people away, no wonder he has no friends.

There is one thing to say, the past self is indeed so taller than this guy that I don't know where to go.

"I've added all the boys to the group, and you're the only one left."

He was too lazy to go around in circles with Bi Qigu, so he just talked straight.

"If you didn't look like you didn't want to get involved, I wouldn't have to chase you out to drink tea and chat with a man in such a quiet place... Please forgive me, you are not a beautiful girl."

"Don't look down on me, Hachiko Hikigu in the parallel world is very beautiful!"

Hikigu Hachiman subconsciously said something back, then lowered his head slightly, and began to stroke his bangs again, defending himself carefully.

"Well... After all, you see, that kind of atmosphere is poisonous to people like me... I stayed in the corner just to try to be quiet, and I didn't put up a sign saying If You Are the One... and I only came out to go to the bathroom , will go back soon..."

As he spoke intermittently, Asada nodded his head as a perfunctory act, and had almost eaten up the snacks in his hand.

"Hmm, so what?"

"So, well..." As if he had made a lot of determination, the voice in his throat got stuck for a while, and then Hikigu spoke seriously with an awkward expression full of embarrassment.

"Thank you."

The other party deliberately put him aside for his sake and did not talk to him, and then came out to chat with him with snacks and drinks.

Hikigaya Hachiman had never been treated like this before, and his natural care and sincerity made all the bad impressions he had about Asada disappear, and his favorability soared. "good guy".

If you are treated with kindness, you will want to treat others with kindness.

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know if he could do it, and he didn't even know whether this friendship and gentle treatment were real.

But at least, there is one fact that can be confirmed...

Hikigaya Hachiman, now, has made new friends.

"Hello, Asada."

Asada looked over strangely.

"what happened?"

Hikigu Hachiman let out a long breath, leaning his back against the hard wall, pretending to be casual, and took out the phone from his pocket.

"Let's exchange... contact information."

Asada was stunned for a moment, then gradually opened his eyes wide in surprise:

"Bikigu, you..."

The Lonely Star, who looked awkward and gloomy, actually said such words on his own initiative?

"What's so strange? Although it's the first time I've done this."

Looking lazily at the ceiling with a pair of dead fish eyes, Hikigu Hachiman curled his lips and said:

"You want to establish a relationship between talents Internet cafes? Compared with building friendship with those guys who will only waste their youth and spend their days leisurely, this kind of interpersonal relationship that can be used for both benefits and favors is worth spending time. Get it going."

"Although I'm not a talent at all... But if you want, let me join in. I should be able to help a little."

He clicked on the QR code of the chat software and placed it in front of Asada.

"By the way... add a friend."

These words, with obvious tension and uneasiness, made the voice shrunk and tightened like a thread.

And Asada was only surprised for a moment, and didn't keep him waiting.

"...What a weird guy."

He raised the corners of his mouth amusedly, took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code, and pressed join friend in front of him.

"I don't know why, but I'm starting to hate the word like attracts like."

"No, you don't have the right to hate it, okay?" Hikigaya snorted, seeing that in the chat interface, besides family, service department, teacher, and Saika Totsuka, another avatar had entered the friend column, and left The lip line couldn't help but outline a shallow arc.

"A familiar guy like you, but the type I'm the worst at dealing with."

"Really? I'm pretty good at dealing with withdrawn high school sophomores." Asada took back the phone and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"All in all, I will count on you when I go to Chiba in the future, Hikigu."

"Oh, don't worry. I'll let you see how powerful the Chiba locals are!"

Hikigaya Hachiman patted Asada on the shoulder, showing a proud and hearty smile.

"But I'm absolutely! Yes! I won't let you see my cutest sister. You're an ordinary-looking guy, but your danger level is terribly high."

Asada looked indifferent: "Don't worry, I don't want to see you either."

"Speaking of which, you shouldn't be using this method to establish a good relationship with those girls, right? It's really enviable, triplets or something..."

For some reason, Asada suddenly stared at him with complicated eyes.

Hikigu interrupted his exclamation, with a puzzled look on his face:

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Wouldn't it be better to apologize first? I'm really sorry, please pretend I didn't say it."

"You are too proficient in admitting mistakes..."

Asada sighed speechlessly, and then his face became heavy, which made Hikigaya worry whether he had really stepped on his minefield.

"yes……"

He slowly raised his head, looked at the ceiling with a sad face, and said in a low voice:

"Obviously my attitude towards them was worse than that towards you, why am I still so popular now?"

Hikigu Hachiman nodded decisively.

"Very good, let's delete friends."

"Calm down, I'm joking."

"Don't make such ugly jokes."

"Only the previous sentence was a joke."

"..."

Hikigu Hachiman glanced at the drink in his hand, and seriously considered whether to pour it directly and let him absorb the water with his skin.

"Where did Asada-san go..."

Nakano Yotsuba quietly pushed open the hall door and looked around.

She found a reason to leave from her new friends. She wanted to ask Asada some questions, but the boy said that he had gone out and hadn't come back yet.

There was silence and solemnity outside the door, and even her movements couldn't help being lighter, feeling oppressed and restrained by the space that was very similar to the congress hall.

Although she has never seen what the Congress Hall looks like.

"Did you go to the toilet?"

After thinking about it, Yotsuba walked towards the toilet with silent steps.

But before approaching a corner, I heard two people talking, especially in the quiet corridor.

"By the way, Asada..."

Is it Hikigu's classmate from Sobu High?

Yotsuba was slightly taken aback, she really didn't realize that Hikigaya had also left the communication hall.

Then what responded to him was that familiar voice that made people feel at ease.

"If you have something to say, don't act like holding back a fart...Damn, if you really want to fart, just say so, if you dare to let me smell you within three seconds, the ashes will not be left behind."

ahle?

Asada-san speaks...is there such a boldness?

Yotsuba pursed her lips in doubt and felt amused, it seemed that this was the side of him when chatting with male friends, and it was also the side that she had never seen before.

It's just that after knowing this, a high-pitched melody can't help but sound in my heart.

'No, no, I'm going to ask Asada-san a question now, don't worry about that! '

Clover quickly shook her head, drove the messy thoughts out of her head, and began to think about whether to wait for them to finish talking before going there, or to remind them directly.

However, eavesdropping on other people's chats seemed a bit impolite, Yotsuba quickly made a decision, and prepared to speak while taking a step forward.

"shallow……"

As soon as he uttered a word, Hikigu's voice sounded again.
