After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

118. The probability is 1000%! (2.5K)

After introducing themselves to each other, they quickly became familiar with each other. With Natsukawa Kanade as a buffer, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and even Hikigaya was able to fit in well.

"Speaking of boys' gatherings, discussing the topic of girls (love) is inevitable, right?" suggested Tanuma Tsubasa.

"Well, it seems that is the case..." After thinking for a while, Baiyin Yuxing nodded in agreement.

"Hey, don't be dragged into this so suddenly! It's more like the topic is jumping too quickly," Hikigaya protested, but it seemed to have little effect.

"Haha, isn't that good?" Natsukawa Kanade also echoed, winking at Hikigaya and holding back his restless heart with her hand, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, it's not time for a bath yet, right?"

"You guy..." Hikigaya's face froze, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth.

Xiachuan Kanade shrugged and ignored his resentful look.

"Then let me start, since I was the one who brought up the topic." Tanuma Tsubasa raised his hand and spoke first, "Actually, it happened recently. There's a girl I care about..."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"..."

What happened?

Although their performances were slightly different, they all looked obviously interested and were listening to him seriously.

"I'm in the same class with her and we often run into each other. I also received some chocolates from her before..." Tanuma Tsubasa scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

It is indeed somewhat embarrassing to tell my "love story" in front of three boys.

"As a boy, I should be the one to confess first, right?"

"Wait! Isn't this right?!" Hikigaya on the side immediately stopped him.

Originally, he was just going to listen and think about what "story" he could come up with to fool the audience, but he didn't expect to hear such a shocking speech...

You will be disliked and disgusted! Stop it now!

"You also feel something is wrong, right?" Hikigaya looked at the other two, hoping they would come forward and say something.

"Indeed, it's a bit too fast..." Shirogane nodded, then asked, "What about chocolate? What kind?"

"The kind that comes in chocolate balls, three of them..."

"Oh! There is no doubt that this must be..." Baiyin Yuxing looked confident.

"..."X2, Natsukawa Kanade and Hikigaya Hachiman looked at each other, and saw the emotion called "sympathy" in each other's eyes.

"Without a doubt... it's my destiny chocolate!"

"...???" x2

"Listen carefully! Women are those creatures who are not honest! You have to remember that they will always take the opposite action, which means that things that look like giri chocolate at first glance..."

"It's my destiny instead?!"

"That's right!" The two stood up together, and Po had a feeling of having found a confidant.

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing by, was so frightened that he quickly looked at Natsukawa Kanade and signaled to him with his eyes, "This is your friend, you handle it."

The latter nodded knowingly, then cleared his throat and raised an objection:

"But... there are also cases where it is really just giri chocolate, right?"

Because the person involved was too happy, Xiachuan Zou couldn't pour too much cold water on him in person, so he could only guide him as much as possible.

"In this case, it depends on the person, right? For example, if it's a 'tsundere'... a girl who doesn't mean what she says, then this situation will indeed occur. But if the other person is the kind of person who is generous and open-minded, it might really be giri chocolate, right?"

Probably because of his own experience, Natsukawa Zou had a basis for his analysis, and at least he could be confident.

Hikigaya on the side nodded at him repeatedly, thinking that he was worthy of being him.

"Hmm... is that so..." Shirogane Yuxing thought thoughtfully.

"Hmm...that makes sense...you're worthy of being President Natsukawa!" Although he felt hit, Tanuma Tsubasa still asked Natsukawa Kanade very seriously.

"It did happen before. She once asked me, 'Do you have a girlfriend?' When I answered 'No', she immediately shared it with the girls around her."

“……” Xiachuan Zou fell into thought.

"Uh... I think this should be bullying..." Hikigaya said weakly, as if he wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Shirogane Miyuki beside him.

"It's definitely right this time, it's the peach blossom season!"

Hikigaya Hachiman: “……???”

"Because girls are also human beings! They are exactly the same species as you! In the situation you are talking about, this is how you should judge it -

After getting a "no" answer, the other party will think "this way I have a chance", and other girls may also fall into the idea of ​​"great, he doesn't have a girlfriend" "because I am the one who matches him" "I am still single, so happy!"...

So it’s basically a romantic period! Maybe it will develop into a situation where you need to choose one of them. In the worst case, it may even cause a rift in the friendship and eventually develop into bullying! "

"! It's actually like this..." Tanuma Tsubasa seemed to feel a little sad. He didn't expect that a girl would be hurt because of his choice. It was really wrong.

"So what do I do?"

"Just protect her. You are the only one who can protect her..."

"turn out to be……"

"Wait, wait a minute!" Hikigaya Hachiman finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the two people.

"You'll be laughed at! You'll be laughed at severely, and then you'll live under that shadow for three years of junior high school, so you must never do anything that will cause people to misunderstand you!"

“Eh? Why am I being laughed at…” Tanuma Tsubasa was a little confused.

"Yeah, why are you being laughed at? Is it possible that my analysis is wrong?" Shirogane Miyuki also asked Hikigaya.

"Uh……"

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

Just as Hikigaya was considering whether to tell about his previous similar experience, Natsukawa Kanade, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"I thought about it for a while and felt... it's not that hopeless?"

"Eh? Could it be that the president also thinks that the analysis is wrong?" The two sat down again and looked at him seriously.

Hikigaya Hachiman on the side breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that he was the only one standing there, he shrank his neck, sat down silently, and said no more.

“Girls’ behavior is usually traceable and closely related to their personalities.

For example... people like the seniors in the literature department usually sit there quietly, as if everything has nothing to do with them and they won't get angry. But when they start shaking their legs and kicking their feet, you will understand that there is something wrong with their mood.

This situation can be extended to many levels. For example, a girl who originally had a good relationship with you (this is the premise) suddenly said to you one day, "Do you think someone like me is suitable for a relationship?" This is probably because she had a certain affection for you when someone else confessed to her before, but she couldn't make a choice, or she already liked you and wanted you to realize this.

But judging from your actual situation... I think the girl you mentioned may not like you? Maybe... there is someone else who really likes you?

In my opinion, the reason why she turned around and reported this to other girls in front of you might be because there was someone in that group of girls who really cared about whether you had a girlfriend. She might be the core person who initiated this incident, which means that she liked you or at least had a good impression of you.

Of course, the basis for all these ideas is that you are not being teased. Isn't that a common thing? Because you lose the truth or dare game, you are forced to confess to a "secret corner" in the class or tease him or something.

But judging from what you said, the other party shouldn't be in that situation, and he doesn't have any disgust towards you, and he's even willing to give you... chocolates, so at least we can rule out some of this possibility..."

Xiachuan Kanade frowned and continued, "So I think the probability that one of those girls 'cares' about you is... 1000 percent!"

"!Ｏ(≧口≦)Ｏ"

"!!!Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

"...? ⊙▽⊙"

119. Advice from seniors

"No, no, no, wait a minute! In this situation... it looks like we're being tricked, right?" Hikigaya Hachiman objected.

"Like a dare or something, or maybe when you're bored and suddenly suggest to the girls in the group, 'Let's pretend to confess to that bastard in the class and see what funny reaction he has'..."

Thinking of this, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly remembered that the target was not him, but the young man in front of him named Tanuma Tsubasa.

"Well, even if it's some Yangjiao or Xianchong, this possibility cannot be ruled out!... In short, we still have to observe more, right? Right!"

"This……"

"But didn't you say before that you also have contact with those girls on a regular basis?" Natsukawa Kanade took over the topic and confirmed with Tanuma Tsubasa, who nodded affirmatively.

"Besides, if it's really as you said, if it's a prank or a teasing, then besides expressing emotions like 'dislike' or 'rejection', the only other emotions left are 'concern' or 'liking', right? If it's the former, the relationship will definitely be very stiff, and there's no way they can even say hello."

"That's not necessarily true! Because humans are diverse. Some are born gentle. No matter how small and humble you are, they are willing to greet you, smile at you, and even call you... Gentle people are gentle to everyone, and they won't show it even if they hate or reject you in their hearts..."

Hikigaya Hachiman retorted, his voice growing weaker as he spoke, but his attitude still looked firm. "Anyway! I still think we should observe first, at least to avoid any embarrassing misunderstandings!"

If it was just him, he wouldn't need to think so much. It would definitely be a prank and an evil thing, but if it was directed at someone else, or someone he didn't know, he naturally couldn't make a conclusion easily.

"..." Xiachuan Zou was silent.

He thought of his own experiences, thought of Shiina, thought of his senior sisters and the others——

He thought he had already entered their hearts at that time, but in fact, that was just a reflection of their normal attitude. It was not because of his specialness that they treated him specially, but anyone would be treated "specially" in the same way.

It can be anyone, as long as they are in that position.

"Maybe you're right..." Natsukawa Kanade sighed, and then said to Tanuma Tsubasa, "I'm sorry, Tanuma-san, I think I almost led you astray..."

"No, it's okay. In fact, I think the president's analysis makes sense." Tanuma Tsubasa shook his head.

The person involved didn't seem to be affected at all, but the two military advisors who gave advice were not in a good mood.

"So all I have to do next is just let it happen, right?"

Hikigaya nodded silently, and Natsukawa Kanade also responded: "Well, let's not act rashly for now... Or you can also do what they did and find an opportunity to hint at them and test their attitude?"

He still had some hope in his heart and even prayed for the other party in his heart, as if this could prove something.

"Okay, I understand." Tanuma Tsubasa nodded, then stood up and bowed deeply to the three people present. "Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have learned a lot."

Several people waved their hands to indicate that it was nothing.

"Then it's the turn of ..."

"Then let me do it. Actually, I've been having some troubles lately." Baiyin Yuxing took the initiative to take over the topic.

It was embarrassing to talk about such private matters, but seeing that Tanuma Tsubasa had taken the initiative, it would seem pretentious if he didn't say anything.

"That person and I are in different classes, so it's hard for us to get to know each other normally, but we have met privately quite a few times... The key is that she doesn't seem to treat me as a member of the opposite sex. I always feel like she treats me as a 'friend who's easy to talk to.'"

"..."

"Excuse me, the person you mentioned..."

"Are you asking for her name? That's no problem - Longzhu Tao, the daughter of the leader of the 'Dragon Ball Group'..."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing, just... a little surprised." Xia Chuan Kanade shook his head and continued, "You continue."

"Recently, our interactions have become closer. When we had lunch together before, I shared my lunch box with her, and then I was asked to make an extra lunch box every day, and she said she would pay me..."

"Well, that's a bit..."

"It's not going to be easy, is it? Sharing lunch boxes is considered a private matter, but I can't see from her attitude that she treats me as a member of the opposite sex..."

"It's a bit..."

"Can I say a few words?" Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hand.

So atmosphere is really a very important thing. He is not a person who would participate in this kind of activity, but in this situation he inexplicably fits in.

"Of course, it would be better to ask for your advice." Baiyin Yuxing nodded solemnly.
