"After that day, I asked Bichi to drop out of school, and despite Gu Xue's objections, I specially found a car and driver to take her to school every day."

Gu Rou smiled bitterly: "I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I didn't think about anything. After that Bichi dropped out of school, no one dared to bully Gu Xue. But after that, Gu Xue went to school so ostentatiously every day, and Gu Xue

After Xue experienced these things, she didn't have a good impression of the high school or her class, and she didn't have a good look towards all her classmates. No matter who came to talk to her, she always looked indifferent. Over time, many people began to call her weird names.

The eldest lady."

"You've known her not long ago. Have you ever heard her mention any friends or high school classmates?"

Gu Rou suddenly asked Mihara Chisa.

Mihara Chisa opened the tab of the can and took a sip of coffee. After a while, she shook her head.

"Because she had no close friends at all. She was alone for the entire three years of high school, and her life was not happy. That is, after her sophomore year of high school, she became interested in painting for some reason. It became better after she developed a hobby.

"

"After graduation, she proposed to join an animation company."

"I was actually very opposed to it at the time, because I asked about it and found out that it was quite hard work, but she is sometimes more stubborn than me. I don't know if she was hurt by places like school, and she was unwilling to go to college. I

She had no choice but to agree, and then she went to work."

"But after joining that animation company, she came home late every day. Once, for some unknown reason, she suddenly locked herself in her room for three days and refused to come out. She would only go out to eat after I left.

After washing up, I thought she had been hit again at that animation company, or was bullied again, and I was almost worried to death."

"But fortunately, it's all in the past now."

Gu Rou looked towards the direction of YUKI's studio: "Do you know why Gu Xue comes home late every day, sometimes even coming back at two or three o'clock, but I never force her to go home?"

Chisa Mihara: "..."

"Because after she locked herself up for three days, she had a lot more real smiles, not fake smiles. Some time ago, when she asked me for money and said she wanted to set up this studio, she also told me during the chat that she met a lot of interesting people.

People, Sato Ei, Chen An, bald and so on."

The corners of Mihara Chisa's mouth curled up.

This is what Gu Xue would say.

Gu Rou looked at Mihara Chisa's face, "Then...she told me in a serious manner that she had made a friend, her name is Mihara Chisa. Although her personality is a bit awkward, she is very interesting."

"..."

Chisa Mihara couldn't laugh anymore.

Once again, I thought of Gu Xue's expression in the elevator.

"I have always imagined what kind of person you are. Until I saw you for the first time, I felt very strange. Why?"

Gu Rou took a sip of coffee.

"The only friend she mentioned was you. The interesting people she mentioned were just interesting people. The only friend she admitted personally was you. Why exactly?"

Gu Rou repeated it again.

Mihara Chisa raised her head slightly and looked at Gu Rou with the help of the convenience store light.

Gu Rou stood in the backlight and looked at her, with disapproval and disgust in her eyes.

Mihara Chisa's body shook violently.

"Do you think my sister is stupid?" Gu Rou let go and threw the unfinished coffee to the ground.

The can dropped to the ground.

There was a clang.

Gu Rou's tone became stiff: "Do you really think my sister is an idiot? An idiot who doesn't understand anything? Or do you think you can use the excuse of being a friend to excuse everything, and my sister won't think too much about it?

Already?"

"Gu Xue is not stupid! He is even smarter than you think. Do you think that a Gu Xue who would say something like 'before you are a father' in front of your father is a person with low emotional intelligence and everything?

A little girl who doesn’t understand?”

"Or do you think we can do whatever we want as friends?"

Chisa Mihara looked down at the toes of her shoes and trembled: "No..."

Gu Xue's expression in the elevator emerged more and more clearly.

Gu Rou took a deep breath to calm down her emotions. Although she didn't make much noise just now, she did suppress her anger.

"I have heard everything about you from Sato Ei, including how you and Gu Xue got to know each other and what happened after that."

"Miss Mihara, just because Gu Xue says nothing, it really doesn't mean she doesn't know anything. What can she say? Will she tell you to break up between the two of you? Or will she say it and you two will be... criticized by thousands of people?"

"Gu Xue probably won't even want to."

"After all, you are her friend, her only friend after the third grade of junior high school."

"Friends, haha." Gu Rou smiled sarcastically, "But if they are really friends, it won't be like this. Each time, one party has to carefully maintain the relationship, and at the same time, he has to deceive himself! Deceiving yourself, you only... only

It’s just an awkward personality!”

Snap.

The inner self-loathing reaches its peak.

Chisa Mihara found that the toes of her shoes were getting blurry.

"Sorry, I said a little too much. Let's go back."

Gu Rou looked at her, was silent for a while, and then suddenly turned away.

Never looked back.

Snap.

The teardrops hit the ground again and bloomed.

More and more.

Chisa Mihara, who did not follow her, had her shoulders shaking slightly.

In the elevator, the expression on Gu Xue's face that Chisa Mihara had been avoiding and didn't want to think about gradually became clearer.

It's exhaustion and struggle.

Think about it carefully, after the establishment of YUKI Studio, every time Chisa Mihara came close to her, Gu Xue would show that expression for a moment, but it would only show for a moment, and the next second, she would be full of energy.

appearance.

Then came the outrage and questioning.

It seems like this every time.

I never really got angry every time.

"What?"

Chisa Mihara raised her head, tears kept falling. She looked at YUKI studio and burst into tears, "I will only cause trouble."

"But I only have you as my friend."

"You're the only one I have."

"But what do I mean?"

I couldn't stop the tears.

In the end, Chisa Mihara squatted on the ground and buried her face in her knees, suppressing her crying.

The clerk of the convenience store stood at the door of the store and did not dare to go out to comfort him.

When a person is obsessed, he will ignore many problems.

But when I succeeded, and I finally succeeded in the elevator earlier, my obsession disappeared.

You will become aware of those problems.

Can wrinkles on clothes be smoothed out?

Yes, as long as you have an iron.

But what about the human heart?

…

Gu Rou quickly returned to the building where YUKI studio was located, pressed the elevator, and when the door opened, she was about to go in, but saw a figure running out quickly, and bumped into her arms.

It's Gu Xue.

"What are you doing?" Gu Rou was helpless.

"No." Gu Xue felt a little guilty, "Let me see if there is a fight. Where is Miss Mihara?"

"She went back first."

Gu Rou replied, then she hugged Gu Xue, forcibly took her back to the elevator, and pressed the door close button.

Gu Xue looked at the elevator door that was gradually closing, feeling a little worried.
