"Gossiping behind people's backs and criticizing others' strengths and weaknesses" has always been unacceptable.
However, Jiang Nian and the other two didn't expect that they would be caught gossiping at home.
Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi's eyes were full of surprise, wondering why Watanabe Haruna suddenly appeared in Jiang Nian's house; there was embarrassment in their surprise, after all, it was really hard to explain being caught twice in one day, but they were in Jiang Nian's house at the moment, so they were not very scared.
Jiang Nian was also very embarrassed when he saw Watanabe Haruna appear, but thinking that this was his own home, he had to act like a host.
"I'm sorry, how much did you hear?"
Jiang Nian welcomed Watanabe Haruna into the house and casually said, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
Watanabe Haruna only heard them say "I like Keigo Atobe, and I want to compare her with Nana Ohno", but she was very angry that they were talking about her at home.
After hearing Jiang Nian's question, he sat down on the empty seat at the dining table with a gloomy face.
Seeing Watanabe Haruna's unfriendly expression, Jiang Nian had to change the subject: "Would you like to eat something?"
After seeing that Watanabe Haruna's expression had eased a little, Jiang Nian immediately helped Watanabe Haruna take out the bowls, chopsticks and seasonings.
"Don't hit a smiling person," Jiang Nian thought of this sentence and received Watanabe Haruna in a friendly manner, thinking that there would be no unpleasantness.
Watanabe Haruna looked at Jiang Nian's smiling face and the unnatural fake smiles of Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi. Although she was still unhappy, her mood eased a little.
"Jiang Nian, I saw you gossiping about me this morning. You said you would give me an explanation then, and now you're gossiping about me again. Let me see how you want to explain it."
Watanabe Haruna looked at Jiang Nian and the other two and said this. While waiting for Jiang Nian and the other two to explain, she looked at the hot pot in front of her and felt a little moved.
Jiang Nian saw Watanabe Haruna's eyes sweeping over the cooked meat and vegetables in the pot, and he very servilely used the serving chopsticks to pick them up and put them into Watanabe Haruna's bowl.
"How about you try it first? This is the seasoning my mother sent me. It's delicious."
After Jiang Nian finished speaking, he immediately said, "Xiu Er, Yu Zi, you guys continue eating. I'll continue."
Jiang Nian comforted Chiba Xiuji and Yingmu Yuzi with his eyes. After taking a few bites, he said to Watanabe Haruna, "Watanabe, I'm sorry. It was indeed the three of us who gossiped about you today. I'm sorry."
Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi also said at the right time: "I'm sorry."
After hearing the apologies from the three people, Watanabe Haruna's anger subsided a lot, but she still looked at them with a gloomy expression.
"I said I would explain this to you this morning, but let me first explain that we were just gossiping, and this gossip only happened between the three of us. I won't be telling anyone else about this in the future."
Jiang Nian made a promise to Watanabe Haruna from the bottom of his heart.
Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi were also very tactful and assured Watanabe Haruna that Jiang Nian's words would be followed by all three of them.
After hearing the assurances from the three, Watanabe Haruna's expression returned to normal, but she was still a little cold. After eating a piece of meat from the bowl, she praised, "The meat is not bad."
Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi also calmed down at this time and continued to eat slowly.
Jiang Nian summarized the gossip about the three of them and told it to Watanabe Haruna. He concluded, "When friends are in a long-term competitive relationship, if they give a push to the weaker party, then that person will face great temptation. Whether the relationship can continue depends on that person's determination."
After listening to Jiang Nian's explanation, Watanabe Haruna felt powerless: "Then is there any way to continue the friendship?"
After hearing Watanabe Haruna's question, Jiang Nian said with regret, "There's no way back to the way things were, unless you don't mind being used and pretend that none of this happened."
After hearing Jiang Nian's answer, Watanabe Haruna's face was filled with desolation, and her eyes were no longer as sharp as before. She seemed to have lost all her energy.
"Actually, part of what you said was wrong. There was already a rift between us before we came to Hyotei, but I just didn't know about it."
After Watanabe Haruna finished speaking, gossip interest appeared in the eyes of Jiang Nian and the other two.
Watanabe Haruna saw the expressions of Jiang Nian and the other two as they ate melons. Although she wanted to scold them, she felt a little soft-hearted when she saw their innocent and cute looks.
Watanabe Haruna thought about it and continued, "It was mainly a family business problem. My father made money in Tokyo, but his father didn't. For some reason, her family started blaming my father for not helping her family.
But after our family moved to Tokyo, my father found a business for her family, but her family was not satisfied.
Because the family business was too busy, my father was too busy to manage the family business, so he no longer helped her family.
She compares her academic performance, interpersonal relationships, etc. with me because of this reason."
After Watanabe Haruna finished talking about what happened between the two, she added: "I didn't want to be a school bully, but I was young at the time and felt that bullies would have many friends. Ohno Nana also encouraged me to do so. Now I regret it."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know I would cause you so much pain," Watanabe Haruna bowed to Sakuragi Yuzi and apologized.
In fact, although Yingmu Yuzi hated this matter, he was not actually hurt: "It's okay, I'm not hurt. Xiu Er and Jiang Nian have been protecting me the whole time."
After Watanabe Haruna left, Jiang Nian and the other two sighed at the same time.
"Now this gossip is known to all of us." Jiang Nian said while washing dishes.
After hearing this, Chiba Hideji slowed down his wiping of the table and said, "It's really not that interesting. It's good enough that Yu Zi can continue to dance happily in the future."
Yingmu Yuzi quickened the pace of washing dishes: "I remember there are wishing lanterns at Jiang Nian's house. Let's make a wish together later."
This proposal was exactly what Jiang Nian and Qianye Xiuer wanted.
At this time, the moon is crescent, shining brightly with the starlight.
On the terrace, three people wrote their wishes on the Kongming lanterns:
Sakuragi Yuzi: Friendship lasts forever, become a dancer.
Chiba Hideji: Surpass Jiang Nian, the future will be better.
Jiang Nian: May my family be at peace.
The Kongming lantern flew into the sky with the three people's good wishes, and also carried the belief in their hearts, which will definitely come true!
The three of them looked up at the Kongming lanterns flying away. Jiang Nian asked, "Xiu Er, do you really want to surpass me? I can fulfill your wish."
Chiba Shuji: "It's okay actually. I just feel that as long as I have a goal, I can slowly work hard and surpass myself."
After saying this, Chiba Hideji smiled and jokingly said, "I don't want to be that tired. After all, there are still many things I haven't played yet."
Ying Muyuzi finally felt relieved and was very happy: "We will always be friends."
"Of course." Chiba Hideji said to Sakuragi Yuzi, and then shouted: "We will always be friends."
Jiang Nian thought, "Let's just relax today and study tomorrow," and then shouted, "Let's always be friends."
Sakuragi Yuzi also shouted.
Tonight, the sound is so audible that I wonder who has been awakened from their dream.
Watanabe Haruna: "Thank you so much."
