"Brother, they like you."
On the way home, Qiong, who had been following Fang Zheng, suddenly spoke to Fang Zheng.
"Hmm? Who are you talking about?"
Hearing Qiong's words, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment.
"Others."
"Others?"
"That's right."
Qiong nodded, while Fang Zheng shrugged indifferently.
"That's not surprising. Look at your brother, he's handsome and talented. They're not blind, so it's normal for them to like me. There are so many girls who like me. I think all of them here today are definitely attracted to me. Maybe they've already started writing love letters to me."
"I'm not talking about that kind of like."
Qiong certainly knew what Fang Zheng meant, but she shook her head.
"Nothing. I don't think they like me very much."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm. He had looked carefully when he was on the stage and found that no favorability values appeared above the heads of other people, which meant that they were all probably below 80.
By the way, Qiong’s favorability is now one hundred.
"Really..."
Seeing that Fang Zheng didn't seem to care much, Qiong didn't say anything else. He just followed Fang Zheng and walked towards home.
Night falls.
The moon gradually rose into the night sky. In the park not far away, the lights flickered, illuminating the two figures standing below.
"World, it's so late, what's going on?"
Setsuna stood quietly under the streetlight, looking at the world in front of her. Her expression was no different from usual. On the contrary, Sekai Saionji, who was standing in front of her, had a complicated expression.
"That... Setsuna?"
"Um?"
"What did that text message you sent me before mean?"
“That’s what it says.”
Setsuna stared at the world quietly, his expression not changing at all.
"I like Kasugano, and I want to confess to him."
"This, this is too sudden."
Hearing Setsuna's answer without hesitation, Shijie suddenly felt a little flustered. She quickly waved her hands and forced herself to laugh.
"Why are you suddenly saying this...you are now..."
"Not now."
However, Setsuna shook his head.
"I've liked him since the day I enrolled."
"Why?"
"World, you still remember, I once told you that on the day of enrollment, I was surrounded and laughed at by several senior students, and it was Kasugano who saved me..."
"Ah... now that I think about it, that's indeed the case."
Hearing this, Shijie also remembered that Setsuna had indeed told him about this before. Setsuna seemed to be lost in his memories and continued talking.
"At that time, I noticed him. After that, he and I were assigned to the same class, and we were both class committee members... and... Sekai, you know that Kasugano is a very popular person..."
Of course the world knows that Fang Zheng is different from other boys. He has never been the kind of gentle and refined person who keeps people at a distance. It can even be said that he rarely shows gentlemanly manners to girls, and sometimes he is not too polite. Just look at Dong Ma, other boys would be unable to speak fluently when they see Dong Ma, but only Fang Zheng dared to hit her head with an English book and mocked her for practicing sign language...
However, for many girls, this kind of impoliteness is actually a kind of closeness...
"But...but...why now?"
Shijie didn't know what to say. She didn't expect that Shanshan had liked Fangzheng for such a long time, but why did she say it now?
However, in response to the world's questions, Setsuna just stared at her.
"Because you gave up on the world."
"I...I give up?"
Hearing this, Shijie felt as if her heart was grabbed by an invisible hand, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. She blinked, took a step back, and then looked around. It was as if she was looking for an escape route, but Setsuna's eyes were fixed on her, making it impossible for her to move.
"You, what are you talking about? Setsuna, what did I give up?"
However, Setsuna didn't care about Sekai's jokes at all and spoke directly.
"Because... Sekai, you like Kasugano too, don't you?"
"I……?"
At this moment, the world's heart skipped a beat, as if all its deepest secrets had been discovered by others.
"I don't……"
"Hasn't the world figured it out? You often talk about Kasugano in front of me."
"Well, that's because I'm the head of the light music club, and it's my duty to care about everyone."
"Then why did you ask Kasugano to join the light music club? Before that, Kasugano never said that she could play."
"I heard it from Setsuna. She said she heard Kasugano singing very well in the music room before, so I wanted to recruit him into the club..."
"Did Setsuna really say that?"
"...Of course..."
Having said that, Sekai swallowed his saliva and stared at Setsuna as if he was unwilling to admit defeat. However, Setsuna did not seem to intend to dwell on this issue.
"Okay, even if it's what Setsuna said, but since you don't plan to confess to Kasugano, then there's nothing wrong with me confessing."
"This... this is a problem... it's not without its problems..."
"……?"
Seeing Setsuna's questioning expression, the world didn't know what to say for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.
"Yes, by the way, Setsuna told me before that she plans to confess to Kasugano after the LIVE."
"I see."
However, faced with this "blockbuster bomb" thrown by the world, Setsuna was not shaken at all.
"But, this doesn't conflict with my confession."
"Of course not, but... this is not good."
Faced with Setsuna's logical and clear answer, the world was not very clear about what to say.
"You want to confess to Kasugano, and Setsuna wants to too, so you two will become rivals in love..."
"It's okay. I'm prepared. Originally, I thought that if it was the world, I could give it to you, but you chose to give up the world. In that case, it's okay for me to take over Kasugano."
"No, I... this..."
"That's all I have to say."
Setsuna nodded to the world.
"Well, goodnight, world."
After saying this, Setsuna turned and left.
Looking at the petite figure of Shanshan, the world felt dizzy. The next moment, a burst of fear suddenly broke out from the depths of her heart.
No, no, you can't go! That's mine, mine!!
Shijie started running, she strode towards Setsuna, raising her right hand high. Hearing the hurried footsteps, Setsuna turned around in surprise, and at the same time, Shijie swung her right hand down vigorously.
“Puff!!”
The triangular knife pierced into Setsuna's neck, tearing the skin. Setsuna stared at the world in front of her with her eyes wide open, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Shi...gu..."
“Puff!!”
Sekai pushed Setsuna to the ground, raised the kitchen knife again, and stabbed him hard.
"You are not allowed to snatch it! It's mine! Mine!! Mine!"
While shouting loudly, Shijie waved the knife wildly. It was unknown how long it was before she stopped panting.
“Bang.”
The kitchen knife fell from Shijie's hand to the ground with a slight sound.
“Hehehe…”
Looking at the ugly expression in front of it, the world grinned and laughed.
“Hahahaha…hahahaha…hahahaha…!!!”
Dead, dead, dead! Dead! Dead!
Finally dead, no one can compete with me, no one can compete with me, no one can! Look at you now, look at your face, who would want you! No one would want you!!
“……!”
The world suddenly trembled.
The world filled with blood disappeared again, and what appeared before my eyes was still the deserted park. Looking up, Shanta had already disappeared. There was no blood on the ground, and naturally no corpse.
Me, what happened to me just now?
Recalling her reaction just now, Shijie couldn't help but gasp. She subconsciously put her hand in her pocket, but the next moment, Shijie's right hand retracted as if it had touched the point.
"Hey? Hey? Hey???"
Looking at the silver-white kitchen knife in her hand, Shijie was confused. She remembered very clearly that she had never thought of carrying a kitchen knife with her, and the clothes she was wearing just now could not hold such a big kitchen knife... But then again, when did this kitchen knife appear in her hand?
Thinking of this, the whole world felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and she shuddered. She looked around, then quickly walked to the trash can next to her and threw the kitchen knife in her hand into it without hesitation.
"clang!"
The sharp kitchen knife fell into the metal trash can, making a harsh sound, which echoed in the silent and deserted park, sounding like the shrill laughter of some monster hidden in the shadows. Hearing this sound, the world shrank its neck and turned back in a hurry.
The collaborative LIVE was very successful.
The appearance of SchoolDays made Galaxy quite lively, and people became more aware of SchoolDays. Taking this opportunity, Fang Zheng and Xue Cai also announced that SchoolDays would host a LIVE, and also specifically stated that there would be mysterious special guests present, which whetted the appetite of many people.
All in all, this rehearsal was very successful, and the next step is to focus on the main course.
"Kasugano-kun."
However, just as everyone was packing up and preparing to leave, Shijie called out to Fang Zheng in an embarrassed manner.
"Um...I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Can."
Hearing Shijie's words, Fangzheng nodded without hesitation. Qiong glanced at Shijie, then turned around and spoke to Fangzheng.
"Then brother, we will go back first."
"Go ahead."
Fang Zheng knew that the "we" that Qiong mentioned was referring to himself and Sachiko. Ever since Sachiko came to their house, Qiong often stuck with her, mainly playing computer games together.
By the way, as a ghost, Sachiko can directly log into the computer and open an account... These past two days, the two of them have been having a lot of fun playing online games together...
"Go back, and be careful on your way."
Fang Zheng was not worried about Qiong's safety. Just kidding, although Sachiko was now a purification board, her ability as an evil spirit still existed. If anyone dared to touch Qiong, Sachiko would wave her hand and send him to heaven.
Everyone else said goodbye and left, and soon only Fang Zheng and Shijie were left.
"Let's go... to the cafe over there and talk."
The coffee shop that Shijie chose was just an ordinary one. There weren't many people in the shop at the moment. The two found a seat and sat down, ordering two cups of coffee. Then Fang Zheng just looked at Shijie, and Shijie felt a little embarrassed. She rolled her eyes and then gritted her teeth.
"Um...Kasugano-kun, I have something I want to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Actually...actually...it's a bit embarrassing to say this..."
At this point, the world took a deep breath.
"I...I have someone I like."
"oh……"
When Fang Zheng heard the world talking, he immediately looked up at her head - thank God, there was no number.
"Who is it?"
"This, this is a secret. I can't tell you now."
Shijie waved her hand a little embarrassedly, then she lowered her head.
"Um... I want to confess to him, but I'm afraid it might backfire..."
"So what are you going to do by telling me this?"
Fang Zheng took a sip of coffee and looked at Shijie curiously. Could it be that she liked a certain man around him? So she wanted him to help pass on messages and love letters? After all, according to Fang Zheng's experience, most girls would only tell their same-sex friends if they had someone they liked. What was Shijie doing by inviting him to a coffee shop to talk about this?
“So, I want to practice first.”
"practise?"
"Yes, practice!"
At this point, the world seemed to finally realize something and clenched its fists.
"Just like our collaborative LIVE today, only if the rehearsal is successful, the LIVE we host will be successful, right? So I want you, Kasugano-kun, to help me..."
"help?"
"Yes……"
As she spoke, Shijie looked at Fangzheng. Her expression was a little nervous, but also a little expectant.
"I hope... Kasugano-kun can help me practice with you, is that okay?"
