Chapter 106

Kagino Satoshi's breathing had not yet stopped, but the moment he saw the Wall of Honor in front of him, he forgot to breathe.

Xingchuan and Mingxue held his hands tightly and never let go. At this moment, they could clearly feel that Kagamino Satoshi's frail body was shaking even more violently than before.

Xingchuan Heming was also helpless at this time. According to his original plan, he did not want to force Kagamino Satoshi like this. However, when he entered the Hagiwara Kenji copy, he briefly became Kagamino Satoshi, so he knew very well that there was a big hidden danger deep inside the identity of Kagamino Satoshi, which was the incident that happened under the wall of honor.

That experience changed his life, but also put a heavy yoke on him. He thought he had stolen the life that originally belonged to Xingchuan and Ming, so every day since he was adopted, he lived in guilt towards his friend.

The guilt accumulated over the years almost overwhelmed Kagino Satoshi. So every time he encountered anything related to Hoshikawa and Akira, Kagino Satoshi's reaction was almost insane with fear.

Xingchuan Heming also discovered this problem after returning from the dungeon. So he planned to take this opportunity to help Kagano Satoshi solve this psychological risk.

It was actually a good opportunity just now, but unfortunately Kagino Satoshi couldn't bear the pressure and ran away early. So Xingchuan and Ming had to catch up and bring him here directly.

At this time, facing the Wall of Honor, Xingchuan Kazuaki steadily supported Kagano Satoshi and patiently soothed him in a gentle tone that was completely different from the one he used when communicating with his mind:

"Xiaozhi, we know each other best in the world, so you know I won't lie to you. So believe me, whether I was put in confinement by the teacher or not, the person chosen in the end would definitely be you.

You never stole my life, all you have is your own life."

Under the expectant gaze of everyone in the welfare home, the old director slowly recounted the past events.

"I once asked Xiaozhi about this. When his adoptive parents pointed to the marks on the Wall of Honor and asked him what was going on, he mistook the couple for new teachers and thought they wanted to continue punishing Xiaoxing for the graffiti on the wall.

Xiaozhi was already upset because he was a step slower in reacting and was punished by Xiaoxing. Seeing another teacher coming, he quickly told them that he had drawn all the pictures and words on the wall by himself, and asked them to release Xiaoxing quickly, and that he would be the only one to be punished.

But unexpectedly, the couple was very satisfied with Xiaozhi because of this incident and expressed their determination to adopt Xiaozhi.

After hearing the news, Xiaozhi was almost scared silly. When he came to his senses, he was already being led away from the orphanage by his adoptive parents.

During a follow-up visit later, I asked the couple about Xiaozhi's situation. Xiaozhi had been very scared since he left, and had repeatedly asked to return to the orphanage so that they could make a new choice. The couple thought that Xiaozhi was too shy, so they didn't take it seriously. After a period of time, Xiaozhi never mentioned this matter again.

Later, due to work reasons, the couple cut off contact with us, and I never heard from Xiaozhi again."

The old dean's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and everyone had an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Although they knew that the rumors were deliberately spread by Kitajima Shinichi, they did not know the real situation, so they lacked a sense of reality about the "slander".

However, it was not until now that they finally knew the truth, and finally understood how much misunderstanding this pair of children, who had been separated since childhood, had suffered over the years.

Having spent seven years with Kagamino Satoshi, Hagiwara Kenji has a better understanding of Kagamino Satoshi's thoughts. He added after careful consideration:

"In fact, I once heard Xiaozhi say that he was very scared at that time and wanted to go back to find Xiaoxing, but his adoptive parents naturally would not allow it. When he grew up, he really didn't dare to come back because he really didn't know how to face Xiaoxing.

In his opinion, they were both children who should be chosen. Because he stayed under the wall of honor, he was chosen by his adoptive parents and left the orphanage to live a good life. However, Xiaoxing was put in solitary confinement to take the punishment for him, and as a result, he missed the chance to be chosen and became the one who was left behind.

Xiaozhi felt very ashamed and didn't know how to face Xiaoxing, so even after so many years, he still didn't dare to come back, let alone contact Xiaoxing. This time when he returned to the orphanage, it was Xiaoxing who accidentally got Xiaozhi's contact information, so he took the initiative to invite him, and they finally met. "

Under the Wall of Honor, after Hoshikawa Kazuaki said those words to Kagamino Satoshi, there was only a long silence between the two.

Hoshikawa and Mingyu's hands holding Kagamino Satoshi were firm and strong, and it seemed that Kagamino Satoshi, who had been oppressed by the shadow for many years, finally had a chance to breathe.

Since he was adopted under the Wall of Honor, this place has become a nightmare for Kagano Satoshi. In his dreams, Hoshikawa and Akira resented him for taking away his chance to be adopted, and Kagano Satoshi also felt extremely guilty about what happened back then. This guilt has haunted him for more than a decade, and he can't even muster the courage to come back and see Hoshikawa and Akira.

It was not until this time that Xingchuan and Ming contacted him, which finally made him muster up the courage to come back and take a look. However, he did not expect that such rumors would spread in the orphanage.

Thinking of this, Kagino Satoshi suddenly asked:

"Xiaoxing, do you want to know how I answered my adoptive parents back then?"

However, before Hoshikawa and Ming could answer, Kagino Satoshi continued speaking at a rapid pace, as if he was afraid of being rejected.

"I thought they were new teachers at the time, and I was afraid they would continue to punish you for the graffiti, so I told them that I was the only one who drew those marks, and asked them to let you go."

Kagino Satoshi took a deep breath, quickly glanced at Hoshikawa and Ming, and quickly lowered his head.

"I've also heard the rumors about the orphanage. I don't know if you will believe them or not, but I really haven't given up on you as my friend. I..."

Kagino Satoshi's voice choked up, and he could not continue. He only saw the flat ground in front of him slowly becoming blurred, and only a patch of water remained in his sight.

Xingchuan Heming reached out and patted him on the back, his calm voice full of soothing tone.

"I know. I never believed those rumors."

The two of them fell silent again. After a long while, Xingchuan and Ming suddenly laughed, and then, in front of Kagano Tomo's surprised eyes, they lowered their voices and said to him:

"I'll tell you a secret. In fact, I have been using my royalties to donate to the welfare home for many years, not for the purpose of helping the welfare home improve their lives. I just hope that the welfare home will not go bankrupt due to the economic crisis."

Seeing Kagano Satoshi's puzzled look, Hoshikawa Kazuaki also lowered his head like the other and continued to explain:

"You know. I didn't have your contact information before, and your parents moved away, so I couldn't contact you at all, so I could only wait for you to come back to see me, or to visit the orphanage.

So I have to keep this orphanage going. It can't close down. As long as the orphanage is still there, you will come back and I will see you again one day.

So you see, I really never believed those ridiculous rumors, and I never blamed you for anything... Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Kagino Satoshi suddenly put his forehead on Hoshikawa Kazuaki's shoulder, which startled Hoshikawa Kazuaki. But then he felt the warm liquid quickly soaking his sleeves, and at the same time he heard the soft sobs that Kagino Satoshi suppressed.

Xingchuan and Ming blinked and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good to be able to cry. After venting it out like this, Xiaozhi’s mental condition will probably recover quickly in the future.

Just when Hoshikawa Kazuaki thought that the matter was finally over, Kagino Tomo, who had just been leaning on his shoulder, suddenly stood up, took a step back and distanced himself from him.

Satoshi Kagino's eyes were still red and swollen from crying, but his face looked extremely ugly and serious, as if he was attending someone's funeral.

"Xiaozhi, what's wrong with you?" Xingchuan and Ming were confused.

Kagino Tomo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had turned cold.

"Xiao Xing, thank you for your trust. But in the future, please keep your eyes open. After all, I just deceived you and you didn't even notice it."

Xingchuan and Ming frowned tightly:

"Xiaozhi, what are you talking about? Stop joking."

Kagino Tomo laughed coldly:

"Xingchuan Heming, don't be silly! Why do you believe everything I say? Have you ever thought that what I just said was actually a lie to you?

I did betray you. Why would I give up the chance to be adopted and leave this poor orphanage? I would be so happy to be adopted by a rich family instead of you.

Why do you think I haven't contacted you? Xingchuan and Ming, since I left here, we have become people from two different worlds! There is no need for me to associate with you anymore, so of course I won't contact you anymore. "

Xingchuan and Ming felt as if they were shot in the chest. Their faces turned pale and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Xiaozhi was obviously happy about being able to reconcile just now, but in such a short time, how could he say such hurtful words?

We are friends, aren't we?

But even though what Xiaozhi said was hurtful, his expression was uglier than crying!

"You are sad." Xingchuan Heming said affirmatively.

“…What?” Kagino Satoshi didn’t understand.

"Although you keep saying cruel things to hurt me, I can see that the pain in your heart is greater than the harm you have caused me."

Hoshikawa Kazuaki carefully studied Kagano Satoshi's expression again, and finally said firmly:

"I don't believe what you just said. Of course, you can take it back, and I'll just pretend it never happened, or that you were so excited that you cried and got so drunk that you just said nonsense."

Kagino Satoshi took a deep breath:

"I'm not talking nonsense. Anyway, I officially announce that we are no longer friends. Don't try to contact me again. You are not allowed to contact me directly or indirectly through Brother Yan Er. I..."

Kagino Satoshi closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold.

"I never want to see you again!"

Neither of them was talking.

Hoshikawa and Ming frowned and looked at Kagamino Tomo seriously, but Kagamino Tomo didn't even want to look at him and turned away.

However, when Kagino Tomo really turned around, he was stunned and couldn't help asking:

"Yanji? Why are you here?"
