“But Reiji, you’re really unlucky,” Shirafuji Yasumi said to Fukuura Reiji, “to have your eye on such an imposter.”

"If I'm not mistaken, you got to know her for ulterior motives, right? It's really a bit of a shame."

“Yes, I’m so disappointed!” Fukuura Reiji leaned back slightly in her chair and sighed. “I thought I could catch a big fish.”

"It turns out this 'big fish' wasn't even as good as a shrimp," Shirafuji Yasumi said with a smile, taking a sip of her drink.

"That's right, I didn't expect I'd misjudged you this time." Fukuura Reiji made no attempt to hide his disappointment, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Looks like I'll have to say goodbye to her soon after graduation!"

"If you ask me, it's Haruka who's going to be unlucky..." Iai Takuto felt inexplicably annoyed as he watched the two of them singing in unison.

He didn't say those words aloud.

Because he could tell that the two were in the same boat.

Moreover, he knew that even if he spoke up, it wouldn't change anything.

Iigo Takuto feels very lucky to have met a friend like Haruka Tendo.

He is kind and gentle.

In the four years he had known her, he had never seen Tiantang Qinghua argue with anyone.

The smile he saw most often on Qinghua's face in Heaven was the most common sight.

He's very generous when he goes out, and if he doesn't have enough money, Tiantang Qinghua is always the first to lend him some.

Of course, he didn't know the truth at the time.

Before today, he had always thought that Haruka Tendai was a rich girl from a wealthy family.

He genuinely felt that the unlucky ones were those who encountered both Fukuura Reiji and Shirafuji Yasumi, like a paradise.

If he hadn't known these two for several years, he probably would have immediately turned hostile, slammed his fist on the table, and stormed off.

"However, in the time before we say goodbye to her, we still need to ask that Miss Qinghua to make a good contribution."

"That's true, hahaha."

His words made Shirafuji Yasumi laugh loudly.

Then, Shirafuji Yasumi said, "If she had said earlier that she wasn't some rich girl, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."

“Yes,” Fukuura Reiji agreed. “If I had known earlier that she wasn’t some rich girl, I would have changed my target long ago.”

"Consider that money as compensation for 'Miss' deceiving us for so many years."

After saying that, Fukuura Reiji popped a snack into his mouth and took a sip of his drink, looking quite content.

These things were all bought with the "young lady's" money, and sure enough, they taste better than anything I could buy myself.

Chewing on the snacks in his mouth, Reiji Fukuura thought to himself.

“That’s true.” Shirafuji Yasumi had just chuckled when she suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Iiji Takuto, and said.

"Takuto, go out and see if 'Miss' has arrived yet."

"Okay, I'll go to the restroom then." Iihe Takuto didn't say much, just replied and got up to leave.

He was feeling a bit suffocated and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Pushing open the door to the activity room, the laughter of Fukuura Reiji and Shirafuji Yasumi could still be clearly heard behind him, and Iiji Takuto couldn't help but sigh.

"Takuto, has that 'young lady' arrived yet?" Shirafuji Yasumi asked, sitting sideways in her chair.

"I didn't see her." Iihe Takuto glanced around and gave a perfunctory reply.

"That's good." Shirafuji Yasumi said with a smile. "If she found out, she might turn against us on the spot."

“She still has some use to us,” Reiji Fukuura said with a smile, taking a sip of his drink. “How could we possibly let her know?”

Hearing the conversation between the two people behind him, Iihei Takuto frowned slightly, then interrupted them.

"I need to go to the restroom first."

“Okay, go ahead,” Fukuura Reiji replied.

After closing the door, Iihe Takuto leaned against the wall and sighed softly.

He actually wanted to persuade the two of them to talk things out with Haruka Tendo, but given the current situation, it wasn't very realistic.

Since that's the case, let him do it.

Iigo Takuto had long since forgotten Shirafuji Yasumi's warning.

“Since they won’t say it, I will,” Iihe Takuto said quietly. “Let’s talk to Haruka about it during this camping trip, since they’re all friends.”

He considered it carefully and finally made a decision.

“Let’s make things clear with Haruka at that ‘special scenic spot’.”

After making his decision, Iihei Takuto sighed again and walked towards the bathroom.

Shortly after Iihei Takuto left, Tendo Haruka slowly emerged from the corner of the wall.

Watching Iiji Takuto's departing figure, two tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally dripped down her cheeks and onto her clothes.

Haruka Tendo didn't look away until Iihei Takuto's figure disappeared around the corner.

Then, she turned her head and looked at the closed door of the activity room.

It was as if her gaze could penetrate the door and see Fukuura Reiji and Shirafuji Yasumi inside.

At this moment, disbelief filled Haruka's face.

She never imagined that the secret she had kept hidden in her heart for several years had been exposed.

What she didn't expect was that her boyfriend and best friend would say such things after learning the truth.

Although the door was closed, the soundproofing wasn't very good, and Haruka could still faintly hear laughter coming from inside.
