Chapter 498: Due to his disorder, Ichika discovers the truth
Ichika watched Shinichi's figure walking further and further away.
She stood in a daze, and the smile on her face faded.
Every step reminded her of the beautiful times they spent together that day.
She bit her lower lip hard and took a step forward.
Why is Shinichi, who usually keeps his distance, so close today?
Why was he willing to tolerate her willfulness instead of changing the topic and pretending not to understand?
Why did she want to experience this feeling of happiness?
(What are you thinking about? What exactly do you want to do? What do you want to tell me?)
(Is it because you like me or because of something else?)
Many questions crossed Ichika's mind.
She tightly grasped the collar of her clothes and calmed the doubts that filled her heart.
"Shinichi-kun..."
As Ichika silently recited his name, her mind became very calm.
The complicated expression had returned to normal, and there was even a faint smile.
She started to think about what happened today.
Some scenes were so happy that she could no longer remember them clearly.
Shinichi was very nice to her today, but he didn't seem to like her, it wasn't because he liked her that he wanted to be nice to her.
So now, Ichika finally understood.
"I see..."
She shook her head and laughed mockingly at herself.
"Ahhaha, I found it..."
...The feeling she gave was finally paid off?
It's not a beautiful thing.
What Shinichi gave was more selfish, uglier, more hypocritical, and only had superficial tenderness.
Sympathy or pity? What happened during this time to make him change his mind?
Ichika doesn't know this, she only understands that Shinichi seems to be starting to "appreciate" people who like him.
If he was the only one, that would be the best. Even if Shinichi doesn't like her now, as long as she doesn't give up and keeps pursuing him, he will open up and accept her in the end.
She has this confidence.
However, as the number of people increases...
If everyone was like him and could have wonderful dates like today, and if everyone could hold hands...
Thinking about this, Ichika couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of her heart.
"Hahaha... This is really the worst~"
Of course, Ichika had no proof, and all of this was probably just her random imagination.
Was it normal to flick her forehead and treat her coldly as soon as they met?
This is actually just a new way for Shinichi to hang out with his friends. Anyone who thinks too much is a fool.
"Who would believe it, fool."
Cold words came out of her mouth, cursing herself for being so stupid
Ichika looked at where Shinichi had gone, turned around quickly, and walked back to the house.
Getting proof is easy, just look at how Shinichi treats other girls.
If for example Nino also asked him out and he agreed, he could most likely be sentenced to death, right?
Regardless of whether Shinichi wants to be a generous person or has other plans, wanting everyone who likes him to feel equally happy and provide equal happiness is an unforgivable idea.
It is precisely because feelings are something so precious that many people rack their brains to fight for it.
At least for those who like it, this is bound to happen.
"...But, I'm different."
Ichika couldn't help but laugh again, she was actually laughing happily, her eyes were shining with a strange light under the increasingly dim sky.
She removed the hairpin on the side of her hair, held it on her fingertips, and looked at it nostalgically.
Sunflowers adorn the tip of the hairpin, looking energetic yet mature, and perfectly matching her smile.
This was a small gift Shinichi had given her when she visited a jewelry store. Ichika was so shocked that she almost kissed his cheek.
Then, she asked him to put it on her. At that moment, her heart was filled with happiness.
If she think about it this way, even though Shinichi wanted to refuse at first, she only needed to be flirtatious for a few seconds before he could agree to such an intimate interaction.
"So... Keep being nice to everyone, Shinichi-kun."
