The art of flirting requires the right timing, location, and people. If there isn't a suitable opportunity or topic, and if you don't yet have the ability to control the pace, please don't try to flirt deliberately.
In other words, if you don't know how to flirt, don't flirt blindly.
Clearly, Sakuragi Hanamichi's action of taking Akagi Haruko's hand just now was nothing short of flirting.
A normal person would never do such a thing under these circumstances.
At this moment, Haruko Akagi was speechless, thinking that Hanamichi Sakuragi was just a fool.
However, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who will be embarrassed!
Sakuragi Hanamichi asked Akagi Haruko in a serious tone, "Haruko, how is it? Your skin is great, isn't it?"
What kind of nonsense is this?
I touched my own face and then complimented my skin on how good it was?
Haruko Akagi was incredibly embarrassed, her face full of confusion. She really wanted to ask Hanamichi Sakuragi what was going on in his head.
But girls should be reserved.
Haruko Akagi smiled awkwardly, trying to break free from Hanamichi Sakuragi's grasp, and pulled her hand away, asking, "Sakuragi-kun, how long have you been practicing here?"
Haruko Akagi wanted to change the subject.
Unexpectedly, Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't give Akagi Haruko a chance at all. He held Akagi Haruko's hand tightly and asked in confusion, "Haruko, how can you be so insecure? Your skin looks really good. You need to be confident in yourself. Confident girls are the most beautiful!"
Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi seemed to have thought of something and asked himself, "Is there something wrong with how it feels to touch? I'll touch it too."
Haruko Akagi hadn't yet realized what was happening.
Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand had already succeeded!
Haruko Akagi stood disheveled in the wind.
Sakuragi Hanamichi frowned and said, "No way! The feel is great too! So, Haruko, you need to have more confidence in yourself!"
Akagi Haruko: "..."
The next moment, Haruko Akagi lost her composure.
Her face flushed instantly.
She clearly felt that Sakuragi Hanamichi was doing something wrong, but she didn't know how to accuse him.
She wondered if Sakuragi Hanamichi was mentally unstable.
Or perhaps Sakuragi Hanamichi was joking?
But no matter what, he shouldn't have touched my face like that!
Although I have a slight crush on him, I'm not his girlfriend yet!
Haruko Akagi immediately stepped back and forcefully broke free of Hanamichi Sakuragi's grasp.
Her eyes were also a little red.
She wanted to say something to Sakuragi Hanamichi, or question him, but she didn't know how to say it.
But she felt very wronged.
Gradually, her eyes reddened as well. "Sakuragi, you...you..."
Haruko Akagi was unable to utter a complete sentence.
Then, she gave Sakuragi Hanamichi a complicated look, turned around and wanted to leave.
But just then, Sakuragi Hanamichi stopped Akagi Haruko.
"Haruko, listen to me, let me explain." Sakuragi Hanamichi stood in front of Akagi Haruko.
Furthermore, Sakuragi Hanamichi attempted to place his hands on Akagi Haruko's shoulders.
But Haruko Akagi immediately shook off Hanamichi Sakuragi's hands, not wanting to have any more contact with him.
Sakuragi Hanamichi said anxiously, "Haruko, let me explain. I saw what happened yesterday between you and those girls from Rukawa Kaede's fan club."
yesterday?
Rukawa Kaede's personal guard?
Haruko Akagi couldn't understand a word Hanamichi Sakuragi was saying.
Sakuragi Hanamichi sighed and said, "Yesterday I saw you arguing with the three girls who support Rukawa Kaede. I saw that you couldn't win against them, and I know even more clearly that you argued with them because of me."
for you?
I remember now!
Yesterday, I wanted to tell those despicable women that it was your excellent passing that created so many opportunities for Rukawa Kaede.
So that's what he was talking about.
Haruko Akagi suddenly realized.
Sakuragi Hanamichi continued, "Yesterday, I got into a fight with the gorilla—oh, no, your brother Akagi Takenori—and in the end, I didn't get a chance to thank you for speaking up for me. More importantly, I felt that during your argument with those three women yesterday, you were clearly a bit insecure, or rather, your aura was a bit weak. So, I was just trying to express my gratitude through this joke, and also to hope that Haruko can become a confident girl."
After saying that, Sakuragi Hanamichi sighed again and blamed himself, "Sigh, it's all my fault. I've never dated a girl before, I have absolutely no experience in this area, and I have no idea how to communicate with girls..."
Yes, Sakuragi Hanamichi wanted to express a core point: he had never been in a relationship and was a "virgin."
At this moment, Haruko Akagi's expression was very complicated.
She hadn't expected Sakuragi Hanamichi to do what he did just now for this reason.
It's really inexplicable.
However, considering Sakuragi Hanamichi's explanation earlier, it seems to make sense.
Yes, his intentions were for my own good.
Especially when she heard Sakuragi Hanamichi's last words about not having any experience in this area, Akagi Haruko felt a strange sense of joy.
Although Haruko Akagi had always had a good impression of Hanamichi Sakuragi, she couldn't stop many people around her from saying that Hanamichi Sakuragi was a delinquent, and what's typical of a delinquent is having girlfriends all the time?
Upon hearing that Sakuragi Hanamichi had never dated a girl, Akagi Haruko's impression of him improved considerably.
Haruko Akagi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hmm... I see..."
Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's really how it is. Sigh, it's all my fault for being so stupid. I don't know how to please girls."
Haruko Akagi pouted and thought for a moment, then said, "Sakuragi-kun, actually, you're overthinking it. I'm not insecure. Besides, I don't think external things like body shape and skin have any necessary connection to insecurity. Also, I hope that if you have anything to say in the future, you can just tell me directly."
When Haruko Akagi said her last words, a light seemed to shine in her eyes, rushing towards Hanamichi Sakuragi's eyes.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was just feeling smug about his little tricks and schemes, suddenly froze.
It was obvious that Haruko Akagi was not the kind of superficial woman who only cared about appearances. At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi felt that Haruko Akagi was an independent woman with her own thoughts.
Moreover, Sakuragi Hanamichi clearly sensed that Akagi Haruko seemed to have seen through his little trick, but Akagi Haruko did not expose him.
That's something worth reminiscing about.
This suggests that Haruko Akagi might want to give him a chance.
On the other hand, Sakuragi Hanamichi also felt a sense of crisis, that is, if he continued to play these tricks, he might mess things up and make Akagi Haruko dislike him.
Therefore, the best course of action is to win over Haruko Akagi as soon as possible and formally establish a relationship with her.
Once you become boyfriend and girlfriend, you won't need to make too many excuses to do these things.
At that time, hehehe, whatever I do will be an expression of my love for her.
Sakuragi Hanamichi suddenly said seriously, "Haruko, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely tell you my true thoughts from now on."
Haruko Akagi smiled sweetly.
Sakuragi Hanamichi continued, "Haruko, you saw me practicing my layup earlier, but I can never seem to get it right. Could you teach me?"
Haruko Akagi would definitely not refuse basketball training.
"Alright! Come on, Sakuragi, I'll give you a training session. To be honest, it was really too much of you to hit my brother on the head with a basketball yesterday."
