Chapter 58 Song Tiantian: Could I have really been tricked...?

As soon as he stepped out of the bar, Furuya Rei couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.

"Yumi, did you see Matsuda's expression just now? His expression was so funny, hahaha."

Furuya Rei's laughter contained nothing but personal grudges.

If Matsuda Jinpei's expression is one point funny, then the person making this expression is Matsuda Jinpei, making it even funnier.

So Rei Furuya laughed wildly without any restraint: HAHAHA!

Nekono Ikuya, who understood Furuya Rei's meaning without being told beforehand and cooperated with Furuya Rei to carry out a prank, also laughed.

However, Nekono Ikuya's smile wasn't as unrestrained as Furuya Rei's. He merely curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Then he reached out and helped tidy up the messy strands of hair in Naruguchi: "Your hair is a mess."

Nekono Ikuya smoothed down Rei Furuya's bangs, then solemnly pressed her finger down on the top of Rei's head, trying to flatten the tuft of blond hair sticking up on his head.

Well, he wasn't trying to touch Rei Furuya's tuft of blond hair because he thought it was funny; he was just flattening it down!

Having been captivated by Furuya Rei's unruly tuft of hair for a long time, Nekono Ikuya thought to herself that she had been mainly staring at Furuya Rei's tuft of hair when she was staring at him in front of Matsuda Jinpei.

He subconsciously stroked the tuft of blond hair.

"Um?"

Rei Furuya was suddenly frozen in place by the hand that Ikuya Nekono placed on his head.

His laughter faded, and a look of doubt crept into his eyes. Rei Furuya: ? ? ?

Huh, what is Nekono Ikuya doing?

Feeling the seemingly unintentional gentle stroking motion from above his head, Furuya Rei tilted his head in confusion, causing the finger of the cat to follow the direction of his tilt.

Their eyes, one jet black and the other purplish-gray, suddenly met.

Zero descent continues: ? ? ?

Nekono Ikuya remained silent.

Ahem, Nekono Ikuya avoided Furuya Rei's questioning gaze and casually withdrew her hand, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.

Then he watched as, after he removed his fingers, Rei Furuya's tuft of hair, which had been flattened, suddenly bounced back up with a "biu," not only immediately regaining its original spiritedness but also seemingly swaggering around a couple of times.

Qiaofa said smugly: "Oh dear, oh dear, I can't flatten it, I just can't flatten it, what are you going to do about it, hehe."

Flattening—failure!

Nekono Ikuya: ...

Wow, those are really stubborn frizzy hairs! No wonder they're born on the top of a head like the one in the Japanese zodiac!

Nekono Ikumi sighed haphazardly, her gaze drawn to the swaying, upturned hair, unable to look away for even a moment.

His gaze was fixed on Rei Furuya's spiky blond hair, following its movement, and he casually asked, as if to cover up his misunderstanding, "I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, Rei, did you get into a fight with that guy named Matsuda just now?"

Your hair is all messed up.

Of course, the same goes for clothes. Although Rei Furuya's dark trousers and white T-shirt had undergone his simple post-war tidying up, careful people like Ikuya Nekono could still see the subtle wrinkles on them.

At a glance, Ikuya Nekono knew that Rei Furuya must have just been in a fight.

"!" Hair messed up? Furuya Rei was startled after hearing this and immediately turned his head to look at the shop window next to him, using the reflection in the window to see his current appearance.

A tuft of arrogant blond hair stubbornly stuck up on his head, and after noticing Rei Furuya's gaze, it swayed triumphantly in the wind twice.

"!!!" Furuya Rei was shocked to see his hair, which he had carefully styled today, look like this. Matsuda Jinpei!

He immediately started frantically tidying his hair. Flattening it—it bounced back; flattening it—it bounced back; it took him a long time to finally subdue his unruly strands.

Stubbornly sticking out its hair: After several attempts, it finally gave up and collapsed, exhausted. The bright, soft light that had enveloped it dissipated, and it finally blended into the crowd of other hairs.

It's so sad, I can no longer be the one with the most beautiful hair among all the others, QAQ~

During this time, Ikuya Nekono simply stood aside, smiling as he watched Rei Furuya's actions, without saying a word.

Rei Furuya's frantic attempts to salvage the situation were hilarious!

Looking at his finally tidied blonde hair, Furuya Rei first smiled with satisfaction, then curled his lip in a smirk.

That's why he didn't directly introduce Nekono Ikuya to Matsuda Jinpei just now. Instead, he and Nekono Ikuya teamed up to play a little trick on Matsuda Jinpei, and look at his shocked expression.

It was Matsuda Jinpei who ruined his perfect look, making him appear 'dusty' on his date.

What? You're saying that Furuya Rei struck first, which is why Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but fight him?

Furuya Rei didn't care who started the fight between him and Matsuda Jinpei. Besides, wasn't it Matsuda Jinpei who started following him?

So he doesn't feel guilty at all for teasing Matsuda Jinpei! Furuya Rei said confidently.

Let Matsuda Jinpei be bewildered in the bar for a while longer; he's a grown man, he shouldn't get lost anyway.

Weekend time is so precious, he really wants to go on a date with Nekono Ikuya.

"I just got into a fight with Matsuda, Yumi, let me tell you, Matsuda, he..."

As Rei Furuya described his new friends from the same period, he walked away with Ikuya Nekono.

...

Inside the bar, Matsuda Jinpei, who had been ruthlessly abandoned by Furuya Rei, remained motionless with a blank expression. He was grilling—no, he was thinking.

When Furuya Rei told the wolf-tailed youth in front of Matsuda Jinpei that he wanted to pursue him, Matsuda Jinpei was already shocked.

Furuya Rei had told him he wanted to be more direct, but was he referring to this kind of directness?

No, isn't this a bit too direct? Will it really work? Won't I get beaten up?

...I never expected it to actually work.

Matsuda Jinpei was taken aback, because there are always stronger people out there, and there are even more direct ones than Furuya Rei. The wolf-tailed young man skipped the process and planned to go straight to the date.

Matsuda Jinpei: ...

Matsuda Jinpei was completely stunned upon hearing this. Goodness, this is progressing incredibly fast.

As Matsuda Jinpei followed Furuya Rei and the wolf-tailed youth's silky retreating figures with a blank gaze, he wondered if he was the only one who thought the pace was too fast. Oh no, was he becoming an old-fashioned person?

The shock to his mind was so great that by the time Matsuda Jinpei came to his senses and realized that he had been ruthlessly abandoned by his peers, it was too late.

He appeared to be sitting there calmly, but his mind had actually been working for a while.

Matsuda Jinpei: ...

It's perfectly normal not to want him to come along for a private date, but isn't it a bit much to just walk away without even giving him a glance?

You're putting your girlfriend before your friends!

Matsuda Jinpei seriously doubted whether Furuya Rei had completely forgotten about him for a moment. Could he have forgotten that there was a beautiful, living person who came here with him?

For the first time in his life, he felt so insignificant and completely ignored. To be honest, Matsuda Jinpei found it quite strange.

But that wasn't what he was thinking about. Instead, after regaining his senses, Matsuda Jinpei felt that something was off about the scene just now.

Matsuda Jinpei scratched his curly hair, which had become even more disheveled from the fight, and frowned slightly.

...Was he played by Rei Furuya?

"Um, handsome, may I buy you a drink?" Before Matsuda Jinpei could think of an answer, a shy yet determined female voice came from behind him.

Matsuda Jinpei suddenly looked up and met a pair of bright eyes that were both shy and brave.

"Minako, you have to do your best!" He keenly heard someone nearby, who seemed to be a friend of the girl in front of him, whispering words of encouragement to her.

There were also dissenting voices like "Oh no, I'm too late" and "It's okay, maybe she's not this handsome guy's type, I still have a chance."

Matsuda Jinpei's face stiffened, a strong sense of foreboding washing over him. He slowly looked up, frame by frame, surveying his surroundings—and then met countless restless eyes.

P.S.: The owners of these gazes are both men and women!

When Matsuda Jinpei looked over, some of the bolder people winked at him, and some even blew him a kiss.

Matsuda Jinpei: !!!

...No, you were all so reserved when the wolf-tailed youth was here, why are you acting like this now when you're facing him?

Faced with the many enthusiastic and burning gazes around him, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

Where is Kenji Hagiwara now? He feels he desperately needs Kenji Hagiwara right now.

Someone, please come quick and save us!

Matsuda Jinpei, who indeed didn't lose anything but also couldn't enjoy the numerous 'romantic encounters' on the scene: QAQ~

...

"Finally... Phew, I'm finally out."

After overcoming numerous hardships, Matsuda Jinpei finally left the bar unharmed, his eyes filled with relief. He trembled as he patted his chest and let out a deep sigh of relief.

Everyone's emotions were ignited by the wolf-tailed youth's dance, and a lingering sense of excitement remained in their hearts. Even as the wolf-tailed youth stepped off the stage, many eyes unconsciously followed him.

Then Furuya Rei went up and took the wolf-tailed youth away. Matsuda Jinpei had been pulled by Furuya Rei to sit in the best viewing spot, very close to them. After the wolf-tailed youth and Furuya Rei left, weren't all eyes on him the only one?

Instead of boasting, Matsuda Jinpei knew that he was good-looking, the kind of person who would catch most people's eye, and even more handsome under the lights.

Therefore, it was truly remarkable that he was able to escape unscathed from the encirclement!

"Mechanical engineering is still the best," Matsuda Jinpei said sincerely, completely ignoring Hagiwara Kenji's persuasion that "mechanical engineering is as soft and cute as a girl," and becoming even more determined in his opinion.

He should go back to his dorm and continue modifying the machinery.

Matsuda Jinpei turned around and headed back in the direction of his original destination without saying a word. He planned to buy a socket wrench at that inexpensive little shop.

The half-finished machinery in the dormitory is still waiting for him.

On his way to the specialty shop, Matsuda Jinpei, having calmed down, finally realized what was going on.

Matsuda Jinpei remembered that when he secretly followed Furuya Rei, on the way to the bar, he saw Furuya Rei take out his phone and seem to be typing, as if he was chatting with someone.

Is it possible that the person he was talking to was not Zhu Fu or someone else, but that young man with the wolf tail?

Rei Furuya's earlier statement, "I'll abandon you anytime as long as you don't mind," is also highly suspicious.

In the end, Matsuda Jinpei, who was abandoned by Furuya Rei, questioned his life: Could I have really been tricked?
