Jenai is tired after a week

For a moment, Zenai didn't know whether to doubt her hearing or whether there was something wrong with the system.

The self-proclaimed reliable system sizzled twice, making an indistinct mechanical sound.

Zhe Nai didn't bother to find out what happened to it, and didn't have time to figure out how her two vests were connected together. She fixed her gaze on Akashi's calm face, trying to find signs of a joke from his expression. .

"I'm serious, I'm not joking." He said with a pleasant face, as if he could easily see her wavering, and pointed it out directly.

"……what."

She took a sharp step back, eyes widening.

Is this a confession?

"Yes." The system replied.

is late...

"I'm sorry, did I scare you? Or—" the young man changed his subject, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes, "Am I a step late?"

"No." Zenai hesitated for a while, but did not show a relaxed and joyful smile as the other party expected.On the contrary, she seemed to put herself out of the matter, trying to clear her mind: "Wait, Akashi-kun, do you really understand what I mean? I think, we need to calm down..."

"Well, I'm calm."

"No, I don't think so." She pointed out soberly, "Akashi-kun is just eager to make up for the 'mistake' he identified. The liking you said is also for the 'me' before? But—— that may not be true of."

Seeing the daze flashing in the other party's eyes, Zenai paused, and slowed down her speech:

"Others in Akashi-kun's eyes may just be what they want you to see."

——That's just, the player is trying to show a good side in order to please the NPC.

There may be many reasons for liking someone, good-looking, gentle personality, congenial interests... Or, it's just a heartbeat at a certain moment or a thought.

But what if the person you like isn't completely real?

Just like when she was trying to win Akashi's favorability, wasn't she trying to create an image of a girl who might make Akashi feel good...

So, when he accepts his strategy and reaches the "HE" ending recognized by the game system, can he really like her?

"Frankly speaking, I also have a good impression of Akashi-kun, but sometimes, I feel that Akashi-kun has a terrible side, which one is the real you... Maybe saying this is offensive to you, sorry, but I care. If I don't understand this, maybe I can't talk myself into being with someone so hastily."

Zenai stretched out her hand, fingers bent and extended, the subtle distance between them was not smoothed out.

She entered this game with the original intention of "being in love", and she also thought that she liked the "male protagonist", but she didn't see her feelings clearly until she was confessed by the other party.

Not "happy" or "happy", but...overwhelmed and a little flustered.

It turned out that she wasn't ready—not ready to like someone.

Akashi watched silently as the girl's fingertips brushed against the corner of his clothes, and then retracted them.His heart clenched slightly, but he also understood what the other party meant at that moment.

He hesitated, missing the opportunity to speak.

"Akashi-kun is perfect, so perfect that it's a little unreal, as if...you are far away from me." Zenai looked at him, sighed suddenly, curled up his index finger awkwardly, and pressed it against his cheek.

"It's not your fault, it's my problem. Therefore, it should be me who really can't face Akashi-kun."

After speaking in one breath, the air was quiet for a long time.

Zenifer stared at Akashi's favorability bar for a while, and found that it had become the same as before, motionless.

——After the confession was rejected, he didn't lose his favor at all!

Akashi-kun is really scary.

Zhe Nai was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt his cheeks being touched by warm fingertips, blinked hastily, raised his eyelashes, and the evening light poured down, making the face and expression of the boy opposite him indistinct.

But his voice came through clearly and clearly: "But at least you standing here, standing in front of me...are real, right?"

Well, it's all data...

Zhenai found himself feeling a little guilty about the virtual character, and suddenly felt distressed.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

Players should come to enjoy "love", knowing that the game is fake, and the love with virtual characters is naturally not real.Then why is she still struggling?

She pressed her cheek and patted it, shaking her head.

When he raised his head again, Zenai confirmed his thoughts: "Let me make a correction, Akashi-kun."

"In order not to cause more misunderstandings, I should make it clearer that the me Akashi-kun saw before is different from the me now.

"I'm not sure how Akashi-kun recognized me...but I've given up on that part of the past, and I don't really want to recall it. It's like getting to know Akashi-kun again. We're not familiar with each other yet, so it shouldn't be so soon Talking about—" She hesitated, "the subject of 'like'."

So, can you please clear your favorability?

Hong Tongtong looks scary, I always feel that she is like a scumbag who has failed the girl's sincerity...

"That's right... Now, even if I hear strange words from you, I shouldn't be very surprised." Akashi responded with an unclear meaning.

There was a trace of bitterness in his smile, which was unbearable.

—— Ke Zhenai was only confused for a second, and then calmly pointed out: "Please don't copy His Highness Huan's tricks. I know that Akashi-kun has a strong learning ability, but learning and applying it is not a manifestation in a place like this."

"..."

Akashi: "...Ah, I was discovered."

[Blackening value +1]

[Congratulations to the players for stimulating hidden attributes and exploring more ways to play, so stay tuned for the follow-up. 】

After being exposed, he admitted without any setbacks!

What else is this, what's wrong with the sudden blackening value? ——Never before?Who did you learn this from?

Xu Wanghuan is good at making affectionate vows to eachother, but the real trick behind it is selling miserably.

The purpose is to stimulate the natural love and affection in the hearts of girls.

Of course, this is not the result of his deliberate research, but the experience he has gradually accumulated in the past ten years of his life, following his instincts and talents.

After staying with those people in the public relations department for so long, Zenai definitely understood it earlier and more clearly than Akashi.

It's so risky, I almost fell for it!

Akashi asked again: "Then from another perspective, why do you think you and I don't like you now?"

Zhenai pondered: "If you like 'me', is it true that you like 'number two'?"

"..."

It's starting to go around in circles, isn't it?

Akashi smiled: "It seems that it is not possible."

Zhe Nai was shocked: "So this is...fair and half-hearted?"

"No one stipulates that a person can only like one 'person' in a lifetime, right?"

To admit this kind of thing without changing your face, it is really you, Akashi-kun.

Akashi Seijuro is a terrifying man who can be fooled by biting his tongue when speaking in public, and his psychological quality can be imagined.

No matter in her capacity as "No. [-]" or now, the tenderness and consideration shown in front of Zhenai made her feel that something was wrong.

How to describe it.

Ah... By the way, it was like, she was trying to play a weak and harmless girl in front of Akashi.Akashi gave her the feeling that she was playing the perfect "male god" in a girl's mind, gentle, good-tempered, and meticulous.

Ke Chenai has clearly seen his performance on the court, which is the thunderous and self-contained side of his character.

But now, as if nothing happened, he asked her: "Now, can I send you back?"

"...I want to get a drink before I go back."

"Is this considered evasion?" Akashi asked.

"Obviously! Please don't expose Akashi-kun. If this goes on, it will be difficult for us to have a friendly chat."

"……it is good."

After unequivocally refusing Akashi's company, Zenai crossed the road with complicated emotions and went to buy a vanilla milkshake at the fast food restaurant diagonally opposite.

She called the system: What is the blackening value?

System: Confidential, players are invited to develop independently.

She asked again: What will happen if the blackening value increases?

System: ...Generally speaking, is it a crematorium that the audience likes to see?

Zenai: ...

Headache.

She was caught in the crowd like a ghost, and squeezed out holding a drink cup like a ghost.

Because she was absent-minded, it was always difficult for others to notice her. Someone in the crowded line stretched out her elbow and bumped her, pushing her out of the line.

Zhe Nai hurriedly came to his senses, "Ah", subconsciously hugged the milkshake tightly and didn't pour it out.

She bumped into someone without suspense, and was ignored as well.

But at this moment, a pair of hands stretched out from the crowd, firmly grasped her wrist, and pulled her up with firm and powerful arms.

"Huh—it's so dangerous, Xiao Zhen almost stepped on you just now!"

The man yelled, in exchange for a slightly anxious reprimand: "Shut up, I didn't."

This name...

Zenai raised her head, and when she saw Midorima and Takao clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, I just—"

"What were you thinking just now?" Takao asked with a smile, "It's rare to see someone full of thoughts?"

She touched her cheek: "Is it easy to see?"

"Of course not," he said at once, pointing, "he didn't."

Midorima: "...Are you annoying? Who is staring at others like you all day long?"

Holding K's children's toy in his hand, he stood in the lobby of M's lobby as if he was here to tear down the stage, very eye-catching.In other words, Zenai should have discovered them immediately.

As soon as Midorima finished speaking, she also came to her senses, and looked at her with the same probing eyes as Takao.

Although he has heard a lot from Takao, Midorima's impression of Zena is still the same as when they first met, and even the favorability is still negative.

His attitude was naturally colder than before, as if if it wasn't for Gao Wei's face, he would never have given her another look.

Zhenai also felt that she had nothing to talk to him.But this time, there is a high-tailed peace between them.

"Hey, let's talk in another place." Takao thoughtfully pointed out the door, there was really no vacant seat in the overcrowded store.Fortunately, the two of them hadn't lined up yet, and Zenai only ordered a vanilla milkshake.

She dawdled and didn't want to go out, for fear that they would bump into Akashi, which would cause even more headaches.

"What happened?" Takao asked again.

"I'm hiding from someone." Zhenai said hesitantly, "He, I...uh, we can't agree on each other's emotional cognition, understand what I mean?"

The two were stunned by this statement for a few seconds, and then understood.

Luma snorted: "Isn't that why you rejected his confession? What a fuss."

Of course it could also be reversed.But since she was avoiding the other party, the chances of being confessed were still higher.

Zenai was silent.

"Are you still being entangled?" Midorima observed her expression thoughtfully.

Takao also showed sympathy in his eyes, and suggested, "Since buying a drink is an excuse to delay time, why don't you just be more straightforward! ——Slip through the back door?"

It was rare for Zenai and Midorima to reach a consensus, and they cast questioning eyes at him: "Is there any point?"

"Let the other party know your intentions tactfully," Takao said seriously, "so as to achieve the purpose of rejection."

If it's someone else, it might work.

But that's Seijuro Akashi, playing silly tricks in front of him will only make you look very... childish.

"Of course there is a more exciting one!" Takao excitedly said, "How about letting Xiaozhen act as a temporary object, so that the other party will retreat in spite of difficulties?"

Green Room: "..."

He seemed to have no words for his friend's whims.

And Zenai...

What she thought was, oh, that would be really exciting!

The system is also gearing up: Shura field!crematorium!Do it!

...No, forget it.

"Hey, what's your look?" Takao smiled and put his arms around Midorima's shoulders, plausibly saying, "Actually, I can do it too, but of course your effect is better. Especially if you can easily crush the opponent with your height—"

Zhe Nai: "Well, I don't think Mr. Lu Jian should be able to."

Both of them turned their heads together and looked at her.

"No way?" Takao was surprised, "I think there are not many people in our school who are taller than Xiaozhen?"

"It's not a matter of height..."

"That's the aura!" He looked at Midorima's face and snapped his fingers, "It's the look in the eyes that look at everything and despise the heroes now—how about it?"

"..."

Zenai recalled that in the past on the basketball team, Akashi was the captain, and Midorima was the vice-captain... Then, she tactfully expressed everything with silence.

Takao didn't quite believe it: "Is it true?"

Midorima also had a subtle sense of being questioned, and coughed unnaturally: "Stop messing around, you can't joke about things like feelings."

"Huh? You still miss your ex-girlfriend?" Takao pretended to be surprised.

"Takao!" Midori was stern, but the vacillation in his eyes betrayed him.

Gao Wei patted him on the shoulder again, and comforted him: "Okay, I understand—maybe Heizi can't see it? Although this guy is duplicity, he is still very specific about feelings."

"..."

She really couldn't see that Midorima had any special feelings for her.

The topic got mixed up by Gao Wei, Zhe Nai sighed, shook the drink in his hand, and said goodbye to them: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think it's better not to use it."

"You really don't want to try?" Takao regretted.

After she pushed open the glass door, she looked back again.

"No need, Mr. Lujian is not interested in me, so he can't pretend at all."

【Favorability +5】

【Favorability -1】

【Favorability +2】

[Midorima Shintaro (S), favorability: 1 (hmph, how could you understand me!) —— Brave girl, go create a miracle! 】

"..."

Although it is inexplicable, thank you anyway, it has become a positive number.

Zhe Nai said in his heart that it would be a great miracle when he could understand Mr. Lujian's mind.

She stopped thinking about it and went out to find Akashi, but found that there was no one on the other side of the road.

Hey, did you go back first?

Just in case, Zhenai crossed the road and turned around where he stopped just now, and looked at his phone again.

If he left early, with Akashi's character, he would definitely leave a message for himself.

Could it be something urgent?She thought about it, after all, he is the future heir of the big consortium. At this age, he may have already started to take over the family affairs, so it is not surprising that he is busy.

The shadows of the trees spread farther into the alley behind.

Before leaving, Zenai glanced back, feeling inexplicably uneasy, covered by a lingering shadow.

Wait, it feels like both she and Akashi have overlooked a very important thing...

what is it then?

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, a vague thought flashed through Zenai's mind.

Just now... in front of the public, Akashi admitted that he... was half-hearted?

She pressed her forehead: "It's over."

System, is this the crematorium you want?

The system suddenly vibrated: "...Calm down, go find the time machine—ah bah, go save the male lead!"

The author has something to say: Note 1: In the animation NG episode, there is a scene where Akashi speaks with a big tongue and is witnessed by Hayama... XDD

PS: Only special characters will have blackening value.And as the blackening value increases, that who will appear... Everyone understands it!
