I saved the fallen beautiful girl!

Where no one could see, the girl laughed.

Pull the bike aside.

Ishida Masaya stood on the bridge and looked down. What he saw was the turbulent river. He didn't know if he would drown if he fell in.

Holding on to the railing with both hands, my heartbeat gradually quickened and a slight feeling of nausea came over me.

This is a sign of extreme fear.

(Why am I afraid?) He kept asking himself.

I had clearly thought about it long ago, just jump down and be done with it.

(I’m sorry, mother, I may not be able to provide for you in your old age.)

(Sorry, sister, please stop dating those unreliable people.)

(I’m sorry, Maria. I said I would help you with your homework.) [Sister Ishida’s daughter]

I'm sorry... Nishimiya-san.

But he was really fed up with his current life.

If I jump from here, everything will be fine.

Biting his lip, he rolled his body over the railing.

If I just take one more step forward, I can end this sinful life.

(Well, whether you like me, hate me, or just don’t want to see me, goodbye…)

"Are you still not jumping? If you hesitate any longer someone will come rushing to rescue you."

"?"

Ishida Masaya was startled by the sudden voice. He turned around and for a moment wondered if he had seen it wrong.

(This is... Nishimiya-san's boyfriend? Why is he here?)

"Um... you, what's the matter?"

"Don't mind it, I just came here to record your atonement process." Xin Yuanfeng raised the mobile phone in his hand and showed a harmless smile.

Ishida Masaya's expression gradually became strange. He couldn't jump at all if someone was watching him.

what is this?

Would it be possible that seeing the image of herself jumping into the river would make Nishimiya-san happier?

That gentle little girl shouldn't have such a bad taste.

"Not dancing anymore?" Xin Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and put away his phone: "If you don't want to dance, get out of here and don't cause trouble for the patrol here."

"..."

Although the other party's attitude was not very good, Ishida was not stupid. The other party seemed to be here to stop him, but...

"Why?" he asked.

Xinyuan Feng did not answer him immediately, but looked disgusted.

"Let me make it clear in advance. Actually, I would prefer you to jump, but if you do that, there will probably be a lot fewer fishermen around here."

"Uh, does that matter?"

"Nonsense." He leaned over the railing and looked at the river whose depth he couldn't tell. "If we fished out a body here, no one would be willing to come here."

"The same goes for Nitro." Aragaki Feng sighed and glanced at the bewildered Ishida Masaya: "If you drown here, it will be reported on TV tomorrow."

"If you are accidentally seen by Nitro, that kind girl will be sad for a long time, even if you are a bastard."

Ishida Shouya remained silent, and squeezed his hands tightly around the railing: "I want to apologize to her."

Xin Yuanfeng shook his head: "What's the point? Even if you apologize, can it restore the beauty she once lost?"

Ishida was silent. He knew nothing could be undone, but he still wanted to do something.

"You know what? In fact, Glass won't blame you at all." Aragaki Feng turned around, leaned his back against the hard railing, facing the river.

The two of them had their backs to each other and could not see each other's expressions.

"She is that kind of girl who just takes all the blame on herself."

"Yuzuru hates you very much. She clearly knew the despair at home in the years after Naoko transferred to the school."

"But..." Xinyuan Feng continued: "Even though the sisters have completely different views on you, they never thought of asking you to make up for anything."

Then he looked over and asked in a frivolous tone:

"Hey, I'm just curious, you didn't learn sign language just to apologize, did you?"

"Yeah... I did learn it." Ishida Masaya nodded with a stiff smile, then gestured a few basic words with his hands.

But it seems that it is no longer used.

"That's amazing." Xin Yuanfeng exclaimed: "I've also been learning it recently, but to be honest it's quite difficult."

"Actually, this requires certain skills, for example..."

"Okay, okay, my grades are much better than yours, so you don't need to teach me any techniques." Xin Yuanfeng waved his hand, not in the mood to listen to the other person's personal experience.

Chapter 113 Ishida's future and the message book from the past

"Eh? Do you know my grades?"

"I don't know, but you don't look like someone with good grades."

"..." Ishida Masaya touched his hedgehog head. Aragaki Kaede was telling the truth. His grades were indeed not that good. The main reason was that he was not in the mood to study every day.

The inferiority complex that made him afraid to communicate with others made it extremely difficult for him to hand in his homework every day.

The two of them fell into an eerie silence, mainly because Ishida was still standing outside the railing at this moment. This scene seemed a little wrong no matter how you looked at it.

The river splashes against the shore, making waves.

Fortunately, there are not many passers-by at this time.

Otherwise, given the current situation, the enthusiastic policeman would have rushed over long ago.

"It's good to learn sign language. Sign language exchange meetings are always in need of volunteers to help."

"Eh?"

"Since you have learned it, you should put it to use. Don't you want to make up for it? How about doing some good deeds?" Xinyuan Feng took out his mobile phone and found some recruitment posts on the Internet.

"Look." In the other party's confused expression, Xinyuan Feng pointed the screen towards the 'hedgehog head' and said: "This kind of thing is not good, right? Just in Chiba, participate more during the holidays, don't waste your past efforts. As for Glass..."

He took back his phone and met Ishida Shoya's eyes: "I will make up for the good things she missed. As compensation for me, you can use your strength to help others."

"Also, I haven't forgiven you, and I'm not qualified to forgive you on behalf of Glass, but..."

"I also have no right to punish you against her will."

Everyone makes mistakes, and that's understandable, but what's important is whether you can afford the price to pay afterwards.

"Live on, bear the guilt you deserve, and make some changes to the world as you can."

"This should be your path to atonement."

After saying that, he patted his head, and Ishida Shouya closed his eyes in fear: "Instead of ending your life just because of this matter, this is just you running away."

"..."

Ishida Shouya was quiet for a while, then nodded: "I understand, I will pay for my sins."

Then his expression became awkward again: "Um... I really can't go and apologize to Nishimiya-san..."

"no!"

"Okay...ok." Ishida was a little helpless, but he should be satisfied with such a result. At least, he temporarily had a direction to work towards.

Moreover, he should also be aware that even if he really apologized to Nishimiya-san, the other party would most likely not say anything.

Perhaps this 'boyfriend' was right, and I was just trying to find a way to escape.

(Let’s go back to the bridge first.) After talking for so long, Ishida realized that he was still standing outside the railing and could fall into the river at any time.

He raised his legs and was about to step over the railing...

"Shoga!!!"

"Eh? Mom...Ah!" Ishida Masahiro, who was already exhausted, lost his balance in an instant after his mother called out to him.

Then......

Pfft!

Just like that, he fell into the river.

Under the stunned gaze of Ishida's mother, Aragaki Feng cursed inwardly, "idiot" and jumped down as well.

"..."

after awhile.

On the grass on the river bank, Aragaki Kaede pulled up Ishida Shoya, who was still spitting water from his mouth.

This 'hedgehog head' is not as good at swimming as a hedgehog.

"Cough cough!" Ishida Masaya sat on the ground, gasping for breath and constantly patting his chest.

His mother also ran down from the bridge: "Jiang Ye!"

"Um...Mom, I..."

Boom!

Under Ishida's surprised gaze, his mother rushed over and pounced on him.

"Um, Mom, I'm fine, do you want to get up first..."

"No! You bastard..."

Just like that, Aragaki Kaede watched.

The mother made all kinds of threats and cried, and finally made Ishida Masaya give up his plan to commit suicide.

(In fact, he had already given up when Aragaki Feng finished speaking, but he had to make the promise again because of his mother.)

"Thank you so much for saving my disappointing child!"

Ishida's mother bowed, the panic on her face still not completely gone.

I think he discovered something unusual at home and rushed out without caring about anything.

Facing the other party's thanks, Xin Yuanfeng patted his wet hair and said, "I'm glad that he's okay. Besides, we already knew each other."

"Eh? Are you Shouya's friend?"

"Well... I guess so." After all, he was in front of the other person's mother, so Xinyuan Feng didn't say anything useless.

after that.

Ishida Masaya followed his mother home, constantly apologizing to her.

Before leaving, he looked back in the direction of the Qicong School.

In the end, I still couldn't say anything to the girl, but I guess she didn't want to see me either.

With the protection of her 'brother' and 'boyfriend', she will eventually come out of the shadow of the past.

As for myself...

He walked forward, pushing his bicycle with a creaking sound on the road.

Just do what you can, whether it's for atonement or self-comfort.

Some dazzling sunlight fell on my face.

It reflects the young man's confusion at the moment.

Ishida Masaru did not get redemption, at least not in this apology.

He still didn't have the courage to face up to everything around him.
