Chapter 53 A corner of the Golden Week incident
“It feels like it’s going to take a long time to explain,” she added.
"It's okay, Jise-san."
Sawayama Haruno didn't give the other party a chance to avoid the question and immediately said, "I have plenty of time today."
"That's it"
Mizawa Haruno was determined to find out what happened at the private school, and Jise Natsuko hesitated for a moment but decided to tell him.
After all, this was something she had thought of early on, otherwise she would not have agreed to the other party's request to meet.
But before she said it, she had to clarify other things.
"Zeshan-san, how exactly do you know me?" she asked curiously.
"Mine Shiori is my college classmate."
“It’s because of this reason.”
Jise Nazuko crossed her fingers, stretched forward to stretch her muscles, and then smiled helplessly: "In fact, I vaguely guessed it from the beginning. After all, you came to me on purpose."
"So, when you were in private school, you came to ask about me because of Mine Shiori?" Sawayama Haruno asked immediately.
"Yes."
Jise Nazuko no longer tried to hide it and readily admitted, "It was because of Shiori that I specifically asked."
"why?"
"Because Shiori liked you very much at that time." Jise Natsuko said bluntly.
"I've already guessed this. I want to know why she likes me, because I had no relationship with her before, right?" Zeshan Haruno asked puzzledly, "Just because we've met a few times?"
"Isn't this enough?"
While stirring her coffee, Jise Nazuko said quietly, "It turns out that Sawayama-san doesn't believe in love at first sight. Unfortunately, I believe in it, and so does Shiori."
Love at first sight? Sawayama Haruno chewed on these words secretly.
It’s not that it’s unacceptable.
But I still don't understand what I have forgotten.
There must have been something that happened before falling in love at first sight.
"I think Jise-san has something else to say, right?"
Sawayama Haruno raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "I also believe in love at first sight, but I think even if it is love at first sight, it is based on a certain reason."
"You suddenly sound like you're talking about something related to the theory of cause and effect." Jise Nazuko stuck out her tongue and said, "It's actually not that complicated. Your idea is correct, but..."
Zeshan Haruno reacted quickly: "What do you want me to do in exchange for telling me?"
“It’s different when you’re dealing with smart people.”
Jise Nazuko exclaimed in praise.
Sawayama Haruno was more understanding than she thought, and he easily saw through that she had come here for a purpose.
"I can tell you, but only if you take a photo with Shiori, one that makes her smile."
".Why is this a requirement?"
"Isn't the reason obvious?"
Jise Nazuko said as a matter of course: "Because Shiori likes you, I made such a request."
"What I want to tell you is a little secret of my former best friend. It's never a good thing to betray a friend, but it's very uncomfortable to keep it in my heart, and it's also very uncomfortable for Shiori, so I can only use this method to propose a deal."
Jise Nazuko paused, spread her hands and said, "Of course, you can also refuse. Maybe you can go and have a good talk with Shiori and then you will know."
“.Are photos with smiling faces enough?” “Yes, photos with smiling faces are enough.”
Jise Nazuko chuckled and added, "As long as you agree, I can tell you the reason right now."
Group photo with smiling faces
Sawayama Haruno thought about it for a while and felt that this request was not very difficult for him.
What's more, Mine Shiori had treated him once before, so he could use this as an excuse to invite her to the cafeteria for another meal.
Given Mine Shiori's gentle and introverted personality, it shouldn't be a big problem for her to suggest taking a group photo with classmates.
"I promise you, a photo with a smiling face."
After thinking for a while, Sawayama Haruno nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Jise Nazuko no longer hesitated and immediately told Mine Shiori the reason why she asked her to find out about Sawayama Haruno.
"It was because of love at first sight. The opportunity and reason for love at first sight was that you accidentally supported Shiori who was about to fall down the stairs one day."
She said calmly: "It is because of this simple reason that Shiori began to have a crush on you."
"."
Sawayama Haruno narrowed his eyes.
He didn't feel too much of a stir in his heart, because he had already had a vague intuition when they were discussing "love at first sight" just now.
As Nazuko Jise confessed, he also remembered that he seemed to have actually done something similar to helping someone.
The mobile phone on the table vibrated for no apparent reason, and the screen lit up to display a payment message from the bank.
——The mystery is solved.
"I see, this is what 'fuzzy memory' means."
Zeshan Haru murmured wildly.
No matter who you are, when you see someone about to fall, you will subconsciously want to support the other person.
In addition, this incident did not cause any dire consequences, and I had little communication with the person involved, Mine Shiori, after that, so it was natural that I would have forgotten it vaguely.
But if that was the case, he could probably guess what would happen next.
I didn't dare to speculate before, because I couldn't be sure of Shiori's feelings for me, but now it's different.
"So that's why you came to inquire about my situation."
Sawayama Haruno suddenly spoke up: "Then you learned some of my stories from Maki, and also learned that Mana was my girlfriend at the time, right?"
"But I guess you didn't tell everything about Mana, and only told Shiori the message "I have a girlfriend"?"
"you"
Jise Nazuko unconsciously widened her eyes and stood there in a daze.
Sawayama Haruno was still talking about his "understanding" to himself.
"I told Shiori. Given Shiori's personality, it's normal that she won't know too much about me."
He calmly analyzed, "But this is not something that cannot be said. Even if she didn't tell him about her secret crush, Shiori wouldn't have such an ugly expression when talking about the past."
"The only possibility is that she actually did something, right? And this incident caused her deep distress. Although others didn't notice it, it was very difficult for her to accept it."
Sawayama Haruno suddenly paused for a moment.
He looked deeply at Juse Nazuko, who had a puzzled look on her face.
"It seems that what I said was right. Shiori did do something."
"Given her personality, she would definitely not confess her feelings to me after knowing that I have a girlfriend. But she is the kind of person who would have to repay me in the end even if it was a small favor. She would definitely still express her due gratitude. What stopped her from expressing her gratitude to me should be that thing that she couldn't express, right?"
"That is to say, I just want..."
