Does gravity make me stronger?

Like a frightened bird, Nagasaki Motoyo is now wary of any woman.

"That's all for now, Su Shi. Thank you for your hospitality today."

Xiangzi glanced at the time and decided to return to his dormitory.

"Okay, let's go."

On the way back to the dormitory.

The night was enchanting, and the chirping of cicadas could be heard from the roadside vegetation.

In the bright moonlight, Xiangzi spoke again.

"Hachiman, I hope you can seriously consider Goto's confession. Please don't worry too much about me and Motoyo."

"It's impossible not to consider it, after all, you are my girlfriends, and I have to take responsibility for you."

Hachiman, with his hands in his pockets, said somewhat embarrassedly.

Damn it, even after all this time, I still feel a little ashamed...

"Being responsible is a good thing."

Xiangzi responded with satisfaction: "But what I mean is, I hope Hachiman won't use his gentleness as an excuse to avoid other people's true feelings."

Excuse?

Hachiman hurriedly looked over; the ambiguous words could be interpreted in various ways, but he dared not think in that direction.

"Yes, Xiangzi, I promise you, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

"Ok."

At this moment, Xiangzi suddenly stopped and looked over.

Bathed in moonlight, his amber eyes shone with a captivating light: "Hachiman, please remember, whatever you do, I will support your decision."

Chapter 255

The last day before summer vacation.

Haneoka Academy.

"Good morning, Hikigaya-kun!"

"..."

Curious, he shifted his gaze and noticed that two students he didn't know well were greeting him. Hachiman's hands, which were in his pockets, stiffened slightly.

After the final exams, he seemed to become a hot star at Haneoka Academy. Amidst strange rumors, he was even portrayed as a rising star who could rival the top students at Shuchiin Academy.

In fact, half of his achievements were thanks to Kaguya Shinomiya.

Who is Kaguya Shinomiya?

The first place in Shuchiin Academy.

That's right, the final exam results for Shuchiin High School are out. Kaguya Shinomiya is in first place, and the second place student is far ahead of her.

Hachiman tried to quickly skim through the Shuchiin exam papers and, comparing his answers, found that he could only barely squeeze into the top ten.

As for Kaguya Shinomiya, you couldn't even see her exhaust fumes.

Therefore, he dared not wear this hat.

At this moment, the two girls were still waiting for him two steps away. Although he didn't really want to reply, ignoring them might cause trouble, so Hachiman could only nod reluctantly.

"Wow, Hachiman is so handsome!"

No, that's absolutely your misconception.

Hachiman subconsciously touched the corner of his pale eye.

Although his facial features are fairly good, his overall appearance can only be considered average to above average, especially considering his dead fish eyes.

"Hehe, this is what they call a filter, right?"

He entered the classroom, pulled out his seat, stretched, and yawned, finally waking up a bit.

yesterday.

He had insomnia.

The reason for my insomnia is simple: I'm thinking about Ichiri Goto.

No reply.

He kept checking his phone, but since their last heart-to-heart talk, Goto Ichiri hadn't contacted him on her own initiative.

While working at the performance hall, whether by accident or design, Goto Ichiri's schedule always differed from his.

"After that day, Goto avoided me even more. If this continues, the problem will never be resolved."

Having already refused, disturbing the other party again at this point would undoubtedly be torture for Goto Ichiri.

But he was Maneja, the one who ended the band, and it was impossible for the two sides to never see each other again.

We must find an opportunity to reconcile with Goto Ichiri.

While Hachiman was deep in thought, the adorable girl, Akari Takamatsu, carrying her schoolbag, quietly entered the classroom.

"Good morning, Hachiman."

"morning."

This differential treatment immediately attracted the attention of others, but after discovering that the other party was Gao Songdeng, no one had any objections.

The two have had a harmonious relationship since the start of the school year.

"Hachiman, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Upon seeing the obvious panda eyes, Gao Songdeng's smile vanished, his brows furrowed, and he clenched his fist slightly before approaching with concern.

"Ah, it's just a little insomnia, it's nothing."

"Would you like some milk?"

It is well known that drinking milk can indeed help people sleep better. As for Dengbao, I guess he drinks a glass of warm milk every night before bed and then enjoys a baby-like sleep.

[Perhaps it's because of this addition that the lamp was able to grow so large?]

Well, milk and omega-3 fatty acids are not directly related...

Distracted by Tongzi, Hachiman's train of thought veered slightly, but he quickly returned to the main topic: "Um, thanks, but I'm a coffee lover."

"Coffee pie?"

Takamatsu tilted her head in confusion, her adorable expression seeming to say: Can coffee help you sleep?

"jingle!"

The school bell rang, and before the teacher returned, Gao Songdeng clumsily returned to his seat.

"Well, today is the last day of this semester. I hope everyone will stay focused and persevere until the very last minute."

The teacher who came in said a lot of rambling things, the gist of which was that the students should try their best not to slack off, listen attentively to the lesson, and if they really couldn't, they could sleep; in short, they should not disrupt the order.

Upon hearing what the teacher said, Gao Songdeng immediately cast a joyful glance at him.

'Hachiman, the teacher said it's time to sleep.'

No, that's not what the teacher meant...

With a helpless sigh, Hachiman withdrew his thoughts, rested his chin on his hand, and began to daydream.

After enduring the morning classes, during lunch break, Hachiman, carrying a quick-meal bread he bought from a convenience store, staggered to his "secret base."

"Ugh, I'm so sleepy."

Yawning incessantly, Hachiman lost all appetite for lunch, leaning against the rough, uncomfortable wall, his head nodding uncontrollably.

"Hachiman?"

It's the sound of a lamp.

He looked up and saw Takamatsu Teng holding a can of MAX coffee, looking around to make sure no one was nearby before cautiously walking over.

"Hachiman, here you go."

The coffee can was covered in glistening water droplets, and there was even some cool air coming out; it must have just been bought from the vending machine.

"Thank you, here's the money."

Just as Hachiman was about to reach for his coin purse, Takamatsu Akari decisively shook her head.

If you don't want the rice, you'll have to find another opportunity to ask for it back next time.

With that thought in mind, Hachiman casually opened the tab, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp.

Although it lacks the refreshing sensation of carbonated drinks, the sweet condensed milk flavor and rich coffee aroma still leave a lasting impression.

"MAX coffee is definitely the best."

"Um, Hachiman..."

"Ok?"

The girl's voice suddenly became much lower. She smoothed out her skirt, sat down next to Hachiman, and then gently patted her fair and plump thighs.

"Come to sleep!"

"Forehead?"

Looking at those firm, beautiful legs, and then at Takamatsu Akari's serious expression, Hachiman, who already understood, still chose to play dumb: "Um, I don't quite understand what you mean."

“When Aine is not fully awake, she will lean on my lap to rest. After resting, she will be full of energy, so I also want to help Hachiman.”

With no hint of embarrassment, Takamatsu Akari seems to genuinely consider lap pillows a perfectly normal thing to do between friends.

but...

"Um, actually I'm not that sleepy."

The girl lowered her head, hurt, her short gray hair swaying gently, obscuring her pale yellow pupils: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"Well... then just a little while."

"Ugh?"

Gao Songdeng raised her pretty face in disbelief, her dejected expression vanishing, replaced by a joyful feeling of acceptance in her moist eyes.

"Uh-huh."

Seemingly to make Hachiman more comfortable, Takamatsu Akari pulled her skirt up a little.

"Wait a minute, let's just keep things as they are!"

Hachiman hurriedly tried to stop him.

The lap pillow was already generous enough; if he gave it any more benefits, he was afraid that his "familial affection" for the lamp would change completely.

To be honest, this girl is too unguarded around boys; who would pull their skirt up like that?

We need to explain this properly.

Hachiman's sister complex kicked in, and he said righteously, "Tokyo, you can't do things like that again. It will make people misunderstand."

Takamatsu Akari, not daring to meet Hachiman's gaze directly, blushed slightly and stammered, "But, is it not allowed if I only do this to Hachiman?"

"Hmm...that won't work either."

"sorry."

"It's okay, just remember next time."

While constantly telling himself that Takamatsu Akari was just trying to relax and didn't have any strange ideas, Hachiman slowly moved closer.

Just as it was about to touch my skin, my nose was already filled with a pleasant fragrance.

This action is indeed too exciting, but as long as you treat Dengbao as your little sister, there won't be any problems.

With a "thump".

Hachiman's hair touched the girl's soft thigh, and as if electrocuted, Takamatsu Akari felt a strange tremor run through her entire body.

Hachiman instinctively tried to get up, but the next moment, a pair of merciless iron hands pressed down on his head.

"It's fine."
