The same table is actually my sick reader

Chapter 68

After that, everyone left angrily, leaving only Chirei Shiraishi and Izumi Kurose still in the classroom, looking at each other speechlessly.

"Quan, come on, you are amazing!"

Before leaving, Hirasawa Shinbu winked at Kurose Izumi, gave a thumbs up, and was full of admiration in his heart.

Just now, he actually wanted to get angry and speak up for Kurose Izumi, but after thinking about it, it seemed unnecessary.

Shiraishi Qianrei alone is enough.

Moreover, for the sake of Izumi Kurose, Shiraishi Qianlian did not hesitate to get angry at everyone in the class, wouldn't the favorability increase gradually?
No matter how dull Kurose Izumi is, he should realize that Shiraishi Chirei is interested in him, right?
But unfortunately, there is a good saying.

"Onlookers are clear, authorities are confused."

Even if Shiraishi Qianrei did this and showed a special attitude towards him, he still failed to realize that Shiraishi Qianrei liked him.

Perhaps, this is because I didn't dare to notice it, or I didn't go there on purpose.

After all, Shiraishi Qianrei is so good, and he is just like what his classmates said, a gloomy person.

"Shiraishi, why are you doing this? Doesn't this make them all think you are a strange person?" Kurose Izumi looked at Chirei Shiraishi standing by the piano with a wry smile, feeling very complicated.

"I don't care about other people's opinions." Baishi Qianlian said calmly, "Besides, I don't feel that I am wrong. Their remarks make me very uncomfortable."

"I don't think it's necessary for me to..."

"What do you mean?" Shiraishi Qianlian interrupted, frowning.

Then, she said in a deep voice: "Do you even look down on yourself like this? What about me? What am I doing like this?"

"What do you mean?" Kurose Izumi asked subconsciously, his heart was full of confusion.

Did you say something wrong?

Why is Shiraishi Qianrei looking so angry at this moment?

If you are angry, why are you angry?

Many questions came to Izumi Kurose's heart one after another, making him at a loss and at a loss.

But not long after, the doubt disappeared, and it turned into unspeakable complexity.

Shiraishi Qianlian clenched her hands tightly and stepped forward silently, the sound of footsteps clearly echoing in the room.

pat, pat.

Kurose Izumi listened to the sound of footsteps pouring into his ears, and looked at Chirei Shiraishi walking towards him without blinking.

Baishi Qianlian didn't stop until she walked in front of him.

She stared at Kurose Izumi speechlessly, her eyes were sharp, full of oppression and aggression.

It was like trying to see through and dissect him.

"Bai, Shiraishi?"

Izumi Kurose called in confusion, not knowing why Shiraishi Qianrei came up suddenly and stared at him wordlessly.

Shiraishi Chirei didn't reply, just staring at Kurose Izumi.

It was an unbearable silence—both of each other.

After a while, Baishi Qianlian took a deep breath, as if making some kind of determination, she moved her cherry lips.

With a trembling, almost sad tone, she said softly, "Kurose, I who care about you—what is it?"

Hearing this, Kurose Izumi opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and lost his voice instantly.

What does Shiraishi Chirei's words mean?
care?

What do you care about?

Do you care because you are the author of "Abyss of Youth"?
Yes, that's the only reason, right?
He is mediocre, besides this, what else can attract Shiraishi Chirei?
If you want to say gentleness, it is her;
She is considerate;

beautiful is she;
The one who is lonely and powerful is her...

All along, Shiraishi Qianlian helped him.

But there is nothing special about her, only to create a light novel that interests her.

'Ha ha……'

Kurose Izumi smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, his expression suddenly became bitter.

"Kurose."

Shiraishi Qianrei's voice suddenly flooded into his ears.

Then, Kurose Izumi felt a slightly cold touch on his hand.

He looked at Shiraishi Qianrei who was holding his hand in astonishment, and looked at her cold and clear eyes, where crystal clear water emerged.

"Don't look down on yourself like this, otherwise, wouldn't it be pitiful for me who cares about you and is special?"

Shiraishi Qianlian forced a smile, but the crystal tears ran across her beautiful cheeks, making people feel sad.

Seeing this, Kurose Izumi didn't know where the courage came from, and urged himself to reach out and wipe away her tears.

"……Feel sorry."

He didn't know what to say, and felt that his words were powerless, so he only made such a trivial apology.

"Kurose, I want you to be sorry for me." Chirei Shiraishi sobbed softly, tears dripping down uncontrollably.

Kurose Izumi didn't speak, just brushed away the tears she shed, tirelessly.

"Idiot are you?"

"Show more confidence!"

"Are you what others say?"

"Really, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

……

Hearing Shiraishi Chirei's complaints and scolding, for some reason, Kurose Izumi felt very at ease and also had a sense of enlightenment.

"Sure enough, I like you, Shiraishi..."

This sentence was not said from the bottom of my heart, but said outright.

At this moment, Kurose Izumi didn't feel embarrassed, his expression was open, but his heart was beating thumpingly.

It takes a lot of courage to say this, because everything will change from then on.

The relationship between him and Baishi Qianlian has no turning back.

"Kuro, Kurose, what are you talking about?"

Shiraishi Qianrei suddenly stopped complaining, raised her head, and looked at Kurose Izumi in disbelief.

"Finally, let you say this, Teacher Eternal..."

Everything just now, whether it is words or tears, is a disguise.

Of course, there are also some truths.

She really doesn't like someone to belittle Kurose Izumi, nor does she want him to doubt himself or feel inferior.

"I……"

Kuroseizumi pursed his thin lips, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Shiraishi, I like you."

"...Yes, friends, appreciate that kind of liking?" Shiraishi Qianrei's tone trembled, and her fair face began to turn red.

"No, not friends. The kind who treat you like a woman."

Kurose Izumi didn't want to give up halfway, because it felt too unmanly, and he hesitated even to express his heart.

I like it, I like it, I can't hide it.

Although it will probably be rejected...

"Men, men and women?!" Baishi Qianlian became flustered instantly, "This... this, which..."

"If you don't like it, just reject it, it's okay." Kurose Izumi smiled indifferently, "It was strange to suddenly say that we like it. It's only been a week since our relationship got better. Now I say I like it, it must be It bothers you a lot, doesn't it?"

"This, actually I—"

Shiraishi Qianlian lowered her head, stammering and trying to say something, but was suddenly interrupted:
"Boom."

Outside the teaching building, the class bell rang, signaling the end of the break.

Kurose Izumi suddenly panicked when he heard the bell.

At the same time, there was a sense of relief.

"I, shall we go back?"

He scratched his head, then hurriedly walked towards the outside of the classroom after speaking, leaving Shiraishi Qianlian standing there alone.

Shiraishi Qianren stared blankly at Kurose Izumi leaving from the door. After a long while, she came back to her senses and said angrily:
"Overacted!"

After speaking, she showed a soft smile.

'But... it would be nice to bring it up later, right?
"Hmm, I need to learn how to interact with people...'
