The next morning, the police arrested Fangzheng.... Of course, that was impossible.
In fact, when Fangzheng came to school again, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.
This was within his expectations. Although he didn't know the reason, Kikyo's desperate action to increase her reputation had obviously exceeded the scope of a normal person. This kind of person was most afraid of rumors about themselves spreading. If she called the police, then the news of her being raped would spread. At that time, all the efforts of Kikyo would be wasted. So Fangzheng knew very well that even if he didn't threaten her, Kikyo would try her best to suppress this matter.
Just like now.
"Good morning."
This woman is really good at acting.
Looking at Kikyo, who walked into the classroom with a face no different from usual, Fangzheng shook his head silently in his heart. To be honest, he had seen a lot of weirdos, but Fangzheng had never seen a weirdo to this extent. He could guess what Kikyo was thinking, but how this idea came about was beyond the scope of Fangzheng's understanding.
Why was there such a person who would die if she didn't make friends?
She was still in school. That was fine, but what if she graduated and got a job? Would she be able to increase the favorability of everyone in the company?
If he were to study psychology, his thesis on Kikyou's psychological research would be enough for him to graduate with a PhD.
Not only that, her reaction really made Fangzheng speechless.
"Ah, Yuechen-kun, you're here."
During lunch break, Fangzheng was bored, so he went to the rooftop to eat and enjoy the scenery. Not long after, Kikyo appeared in front of him and handed him a can of juice with a smile.
"I really admire you."
Fangzheng took the juice and looked at the smiling Kikyo in front of him speechlessly.
"Although I've long felt that you're mentally abnormal, but on the second day after you were raped, you took the initiative to run to the perpetrator's side, and it was even in this place, and you're still smiling so happily …. I sincerely suggest that you go to a psychiatrist for a check-up."
"But doesn't this mean that I'm close to you, Yeech-kun?"
Chutian Kikyou leaned against the wall beside Fangzheng and opened a can of beverage.
"Since Lord Jie Cheng attacked me, it means that Lord Jie Cheng likes me. Normally, people wouldn't do such a thing to people they hate. Although I'm a little surprised, if this can help me get closer to Yeichen-kun, it's not a bad choice. Besides … "
With that said, Kikyou smiled at Fangzheng.
"In this way, won't we become partners with the same secret?"
"… I'm really speechless."
Fangzheng took a sip of his drink and shook his head again.
"Why did you do this? To be honest, I still can't understand it. "
"…"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, Kikyo's expression changed slightly. Then, she turned around and gazed at the sky.
"Kei-cheng, is there anything that you are good at that doesn't lose to anyone?"
"You should ask me if I've ever lost to anyone."
Fangzheng snorted at this question. Are you kidding me? I'm handsome, rich, talented, and popular with girls. I'm a perfect existence. How can I lose to anyone?
"You're right."
Kikyo chuckled and lowered her head at Fangzheng's answer.
"Then you should understand. Isn't that the moment of value that belongs only to you that others don't have the best? It's like getting first place in an exam or first place in a race. You'll receive everyone's attention and praise. Isn't that the moment when you're awesome, handsome, and cute? "
"So?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders. Everyone had such thoughts. To be praised for one's achievements was not unique to Chutian Kikyou. It should be considered a normal person's way of thinking.
"I think I enjoy this feeling more than most people. It's like an addiction. I really want to show myself. I really want to be the center of attention and praise. Every time this happens, I feel how valuable I am. I feel like it's great to be alive … "
"It's indeed a serious problem."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng silently evaluated. Indeed, just as Kurita Kikyou had said, although everyone liked the feeling of being praised and being the center of attention, Fangzheng didn't like it. But most people wouldn't enjoy it all the time. On the other hand, Kikyou was more like an addict. Just like how a drug addict couldn't live without drugs and would do whatever it took to maintain his addiction, Kikyou, a spiritual addict, would do whatever it took to obtain this pleasure.
"But I know my limits. No matter how hard I work, I can't become the first in school or sports. Although I'm cute, there are many girls in the class who are more beautiful and cute than me. That's why I decided that as long as I do something that only I can do and others can't, I can become the first. "
"That's why you're so popular in the class."
Fangzheng finally understood what Kikyo was doing. Indeed, being gentle and friendly to everyone, regardless of gender, was something that ordinary people couldn't do.
Or rather, people with a normal brain couldn't do it.
"That's right. In fact, I'm also in pain. Although I became popular from primary school to middle school, that kind of pressure made me very uncomfortable. In order to maintain my 'gentle self', I couldn't let anyone see it. So I endured it. Fortunately, there's the Internet for me to vent. "
Speaking of this, Kikyo let out a long sigh.
"I would write those annoying things on the Internet. Of course, I would be anonymous. Doing so would make me feel very happy. This is also the reason why I could endure it. Unfortunately, it was discovered by my classmates. After all, although it was anonymous, everything I wrote was the truth. As long as the person involved took it seriously, they would soon find out who wrote it. "
"And then?"
"As a result, from the next day, I became the enemy of all the classmates in the class. They obviously received my help, but everyone's attitude suddenly changed. Don't you think it's too much?"
"No, I think it's normal."
Fangzheng silently drank a mouthful of his drink. From what he had heard yesterday, he could guess what Chutian Kikyo had written on the Internet. And if the person in question were to see it, he would definitely blow his top. They would feel that they were being played in the palm of Kikyou Kikyou's hand, and it was normal for them to be angry at her.
"But judging from your expression, you don't seem to be the unlucky one?"
Logically speaking, after such a thing happened, Kikyo would definitely be finished. She would not be able to stay in the class anymore. It would be good if she was kicked out, but she might even be bullied collectively. But looking at Kikyo's triumphant look when she talked about it, it felt like she was not a victim at all.
"Of course, I did something, and then I solved all of this …"
With that said, Jie Tian Kikyou turned to look at Fangzheng with a grin.
"Keichen-kun, do you want to guess what I did?"
"I don't need to think to know."
Fangzheng put down the empty juice in his hand.
"It's a secret, isn't it? According to what you said, you are good friends with everyone in the class, so you must know their secrets. After all, everyone has one or two secrets. It's not good to tell others about these things, so you will only tell those close to you. If you expose all the secrets you know, you won't be the only one who will suffer. "
As the saying goes, if we die, we die together. No one can live alone.
"That's right. As expected of Keichen-kun. As you said, I just published the truth, and then everything changed. The boys who were good friends started to fight each other, and the girls who were good friends started to pull each other's hair and knock each other down. The whole class was in chaos. In the end, everyone refused to go to school. "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. How tragic."
Fangzheng silently observed a moment of silence for Kikyo's classmates. He could imagine how they would feel when they learned that their good friends who called them brothers and sisters laughed at and hated them behind their backs. That kind of blow was unimaginable. It could even be said that it would be a psychological scar for those classmates for the rest of their lives, causing them to never trust anyone again.
"That's why you wanted to get close to me and Kyoko Kirizaki?"
"Yes."
Kikyo nodded.
"For me, I can't imagine the joy of receiving everyone's respect and attention and knowing the secret that can only be told to me. And in order to prevent my past from being leaked, I chose this school that was the furthest from home and planned to start over. Everything went smoothly at first, but only Keichen-kun and Kirizaki-san gave me a headache. You two aren't the kind of students who are alienated, and you blend in well with the class, but you seem to keep a certain distance from everyone. It's difficult to peep into your secrets. "
"… Guess what I'm thinking now?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm thinking about whether to push you down from the building. For the sake of the world, it's better to get rid of the scourge as soon as possible. Of course, everyone will be sad because of your death, but I think it's a worthy death for you. "
Fangzheng stared at Kikyo and said in a low voice. Kikyo smiled.
"Stop it, Keichen-kun. You make me sound like a bad person, but I'm just trying to protect myself. After all, a girl like me isn't good at using violence, and I'm not smart either. If I lie, I'll be exposed easily, so the 'truth' is my only way to protect myself. "
With that said, Kikyou winked at Fangzheng.
"And now, I've learned Keichen-kun's secret. You don't want this class to become a mess, right?"
I see. No wonder she told me all this.
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes when he heard Chia Kikyo's words. He was a little curious as to why Chia Kikyo would tell him about her past. From the looks of it, it was obvious that Chia Kikyo was warning Fangzheng not to act rashly. Otherwise, she would expose a classmate's secret just like she did back then. When that happened, Chia Kikyo could just leave and start over as a transfer student at another school. As for Fangzheng, he would have to deal with this mess.
But … was Fangzheng that easy to threaten?
"You haven't forgotten about this, have you?"
Fangzheng took out his mobile phone and waved it in front of Kikyo.
"Don't forget, I also have something on you. If you dare to do anything, I'll immediately put this thing on the internet under the name of 'X High School Women JK Plain Person Five Horses HD MKV'.... You should know, people really like this kind of thing on the internet. When that happens, who knows, your former classmates and teachers, and your future classmates and teachers will all see it?"
Isn't it just hurting each other? Who's afraid of who?
"… Aren't you afraid of being accused of rape?"
Upon seeing this scene, Kikyo's expression stiffened slightly. As for Fangzheng, he narrowed his eyes and pressed the play button. Soon, Kikyo's face was flushed. Her eyes were blurred, and her mouth was half open. Her tongue was sticking out, and saliva was dripping down the corner of her mouth. The girl on the screen kept shaking her head and moaning in a low voice. Kikyo's voice could be faintly heard from the phone.
"No … Over there … Don't stop … Ah … I'm going to … I'm going to the baby's room … It's going to break …!"
"Rape?"
Looking at the pale Kikyou in front of him, Fangzheng chuckled and put away his cell phone. Kikyo probably didn't expect to see such a crazy look on her face at that time.
"No matter how I look at it, it's consensual. I'll just say it's a quarrel between a couple …"
Speaking of this, Fangzheng moved closer to Kikyo's ear and whispered, "We're friends.
If you talk nonsense, I'll still sue you for slander. Understand? "
"…"
Kikyo was silent for a moment when she heard Fangzheng's words. Then, she said in a low voice.
"… I understand."
