Ayanokoji was telling the truth, but Hanatemari thought he was shirking responsibility.
Hanatemari turned her face away and muttered, "I'm not that petty. If you had explained beforehand, I wouldn't have refused. After all, our relationship... even if you find other girls you like, I can't really say anything."
"However, you just got involved with Ikishima Midari a few days ago, and today you're already involved with Anna. You're changing people too quickly. At least give me some time to adjust my mindset!"
Hanatemari wasn't unable to accept Ayanokoji dating new girls, but at least the first priority should be Meari!
She felt it was unfair to Meari. Meari liked him so much, and Ayanokoji had also promised to date him, yet now he was ignoring her to find other girls...
Moreover, the person he found was their new friend, Anna Kinomiya.
Although Ayanokouji Kiyohira knew that Ririka harbored some special feelings for him, at least for now, he was not dating Ririka. He didn't want to be blamed for something he didn't do.
He thought for a moment and decided to bring up what happened that morning to explain, "Hanatemari, I really have nothing to do with Anna, because... last night, I slept with Ikishima Midari."
"When Anna knocked on the door this morning, I was also very surprised. She even forced her way into my room, wanting to see if there was anyone in my room. If Xiao Wang hadn't been quick-witted, our relationship would have been exposed. Didn't you and Xiao Wang agree to meet later? You can ask her what happened this morning."
Seeing Ayanokoji speak so assuredly, Hanatemari Tsuzura already believed most of it.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira was even willing to tell her about sleeping with Ikishima Midari last night, but he wouldn't admit his relationship with Anna. So, they probably really had nothing to do with each other, and she had misunderstood...
"Sorry, Kiyohei, I misunderstood you..." Hanatemari apologized with a guilty look, walked over, and opened her arms, seemingly wanting to hug Ayanokoji.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira calmly accepted the embrace, a beauty in his arms. Before he could feel her body's softness, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist—Hanatemari Tsuzura had given his waist a hard pinch.
"Ouch..." Although it didn't hurt much, Ayanokouji Kiyohira still feigned a pained expression.
Hanatemari Tsuzura had originally just wanted to vent her anger, but she didn't expect Ayanokoji to react like that. She quickly released her hand.
She originally wanted to help rub it, but thinking of what Ayanokoji had just said, she hardened her heart and ignored him, stepping back two paces and chiding:
"This is all your fault. Who told you to talk about Ikishima Midari in front of me? I don't care about what you two do, but you can't show off in front of me..."
If I didn't say it to get someone to testify, you wouldn't believe it either...
Although he thought so, Ayanokouji Kiyohira could understand Hanatemari's reason for being angry.
It was true that she and Ikishima Midari had accepted each other, but Ayanokouji Kiyohira talking about sleeping with Ikishima Midari in front of her made her uncomfortable.
What? You're not comfortable with me, I can't satisfy you? Why do you have to go find that woman?
Hanatemari probably thought something like that.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira wasn't angry; instead, he was somewhat happy.
Before, Hanatemari wouldn't even get jealous. The reason she was jealous was because she was becoming more and more concerned about him.
In some ways, this was also a good thing.
"Don't be angry..." Ayanokouji Kiyohira reached out and stroked her head, comforting her with a smile, "If you're concerned, how about I spend the night with you tonight?"
This time, Hanatemari Tsuzura didn't resist Ayanokoji's head pat. She looked at Ayanokoji with a somewhat resentful gaze. She originally wanted to refuse to show her strength, but the words hesitated on her lips.
The thought of her joyous moments with Ayanokouji Kiyohira made her body feel weak.
Every night she spent with Ayanokoji was unforgettable, and each time Ayanokouji Kiyohira would come up with new tricks that left her unable to get out of bed.
Although she said no, she was actually looking forward to it in her heart.
Hanatemari's cheeks were flushed. Originally, she had intended to 'condemn' Ayanokoji severely, but what came out of her mouth was: "Didn't you say Anna Kinomiya is across from your room? If I go, our relationship might be discovered, right?"
"She lives across from me. Can't I just change to another room?"
Hanatemari's worries were nothing to Ayanokoji. He smiled and said, "Actually, Ikishima Midari already booked a room a month ago, and the room card is in my hand. Let's meet in that room tonight."
Hanatemari was thrilled and happy, but also a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected herself to actually say such a thing...
To alleviate her embarrassment, she quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, you're really popular."
She poked Ayanokoji's arm jealously and teased, "Anna Kinomiya has a crush on you, Kurume also has a crush on you, plus that rival Meari keeps muttering about—Miharu Taki Sakura. You really have a lot of admirers..."
"If they like me, there's nothing I can do. I can't change their minds. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for being too charming..." Ayanokouji Kiyohira sighed, feigning sadness.
With a prominent family background, a handsome appearance, and superb gambling skills, these three points alone were enough for Ayanokouji Kiyohira to win the hearts of most girls in the school. Although this was true, hearing such narcissistic words from him made one want to punch him.
Hanatemari Tsuzura was about to throw a punch to express her dissatisfaction when suddenly, footsteps and chatter emerged from around the corner. Hanatemari quickly pulled back her hand mid-swing.
The people who appeared from around the corner were two young girls, both acquaintances of Ayanokoji.
One was a girl with black hair tied in a high ponytail, the Beautification Committee Chairperson, Miharu Taki Sakura.
The other was a current idol with pink twin tails and a friendly smile, Yumemi Yumemite.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they were stunned when they suddenly saw Ayanokouji Kiyohira and Hanatemari Tsuzura in front of them.
The four of them met in this narrow path.
