In the evening, Kanako saw that Shunsuke Kobayashi still had no intention of coaxing her, so she was even more determined to talk to Kayako.
She thought that Shunsuke Kobayashi had been treating her coldly lately. Maybe he had fallen in love with Kayako, who looked a little pretty.
When she thought of how Shunsuke Kobayashi had been eating with Kayako and taking care of her these days, she couldn't help but feel a little unbalanced.
She was his real girlfriend, but he actually ignored her and rushed to the women's restroom to save Kayako. Didn't he know that she was jealous? She was furious. Also, how did he know that Kayako was being bullied in the restroom? Had he been secretly watching Kayako? She remembered that although Shunsuke Kobayashi was very popular with girls, he had never been close to any girl, let alone had any interaction with Kayako. How did they hook up?
Kanako was beautiful and was the campus belle. Coupled with her excellent grades, she had always been the target of many boys. Therefore, she had always been confident that Shunsuke Kobayashi was hers. In this school, no one else was worthy of him except her. She didn't believe that Shunsuke Kobayashi would give up such an excellent girl like her and choose the cowardly and seemingly useless Kayako.
However, it was a fact that Shunsuke Kobayashi had been treating her coldly these days. Moreover, rumors were spreading in the school, which inevitably made her feel a sense of crisis.
After school, Kanako tried her best to keep a calm expression and walked to Kayako's class. However, her heart was turbulent, and she exuded an icy aura out of nowhere.
Several girls passing by wanted to greet her enthusiastically, but when they saw her unfriendly expression and her tightly pursed lips, they couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat, and they forcibly stopped themselves.
"What do you think happened to Kanako today?" a girl asked curiously.
"Don't you know that Kanako and Shunsuke Kobayashi had a conflict recently because of Kayako, who came out of nowhere." Her friend gossiped and whispered into the girl's ear.
"Look, Kanako is walking to Kayako's class!"
"Let's go and see." Nothing could stop the girls from gossiping. The meddlesome girls secretly followed behind the ticking time bomb Kanako, hoping to see a good show of a love rival being torn apart.
Kanako walked straight to the entrance of Kayako's class. Seeing that Ye Xuan had already left, she felt relieved. She didn't ask her classmates to call out Kayako. Instead, she walked in with a serious expression. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked down at Jia Chenzi, who was packing his bag with his head lowered.
Kanako had always been a popular figure in the school. Plus, she seemed to be suppressing her anger today, so Kanako couldn't help but look at her. She watched as Kanako walked towards Kayako, whose bangs covered half of her face.
Kayako heard the noise and hesitantly raised her delicate face. She watched in a daze as she walked towards her step by step. Kanako's tall and slender figure slowly approached under the fiery red afterglow of the setting sun. Under everyone's spotlight-like gazes, she was like a star that was the center of attention, further accentuating Kayako's insignificance.
Kanako flipped her thick maroon hair and knocked her index finger twice on Kayako's desk. She said coldly, "Come out for a moment. I have something to say to you."
Kayako's face instantly turned pale, and her heart thumped. Could it be that Kanako had discovered my secret love for Lino-san? What should I do? Did Kanako come to settle the score with me today? Would Lino-san hate me if he knew that I had such feelings for him? No, I can't admit it. Don't be nervous. Maybe … maybe Kanako didn't come to find me today because of this?
Under her thick bangs, Kayako's eyes flashed with an unknown light. Her body trembled slightly, but she still forced a stiff smile and asked softly, "Kanako, what's the matter?"
Kanako snorted coldly and said, "Follow me." Then she turned around and left.
Kayako was helpless. She didn't dare to offend Kanako, so she could only follow her carefully out of the classroom.
The classroom was in an uproar. "Why do you think Kanako is looking for her? Their relationship doesn't seem to be very good."
"Didn't you see Kanako's face turn dark? She must be here to settle the score with her boyfriend."
Rimi, who had always looked down on Kayako, made a "pfft" sound. Her tone was full of disdain as she interrupted, "Kayako, this vixen. Kanako and Lino-san are doing well, but she just had to come in and interfere. She doesn't know her own place. How dare she steal Kanako's boyfriend."
Everyone suddenly realized and criticized, "Kayako is so scheming. Our pure and weak Kanako won't be at a disadvantage, right?"
"Why don't we go and see what tricks Kayako has up her sleeve?"
Therefore, a large group of people, mainly girls, followed Kanako and the others to the small forest in a grandiose manner.
The branches and leaves of the small forest were dense. The weak sunlight shone through the leaves and cast a dark shadow on Kayako's face. She lowered her head timidly and didn't dare to look directly at Kanako's sharp gaze.
Kanako crossed her arms and stared at her. "Do you know what Shunsuke has been doing these days?"
Kayako couldn't tell how much Kanako knew, so she could only go along with the topic. "I … don't know." Lino-san had asked her out for lunch recently, so she couldn't tell her.
Seeing that she was lying, Kanako's expression turned even uglier. She said in a low voice, "Hasn't Kayako been very close to my boyfriend recently? How could you not know? "
Kayako still denied, "I didn't … It's just a normal … conversation."
Kanako said, "You're lying." Kayako was so scared that her heart suddenly shrank. She widened her eyes and looked at Kanako.
Seeing Kayako's reaction, Kanako was even more certain of her guess. As expected, Kayako had a guilty conscience. "Don't deny it. Everyone saw that you've been approaching Shunsuke intentionally or unintentionally. Don't tell me you're secretly in love with my boyfriend. "
Kayako's face immediately turned red. She explained, "I'm not … Lino-san and I are just ordinary classmates."
"Hmph, you make it sound nice. Do you take me for a fool? If you weren't interested in Shunsuke, would you blush the moment you see him? Would you pester Shunsuke to eat with you? If you weren't trying to seduce him, would Shunsuke ignore everything and rush into the toilet to save you when you were splashed with water? "
"I … No … You've misunderstood." Kayako was forced by Kanako's aggressive tone to the point that she couldn't say a word to explain. She could only lower her head and tightly purse her lips to endure it.
At this moment, Rimi swayed her hips and walked out. She said to Kanako, "Don't be fooled by her innocent appearance. Last time, I saw her secretly passing notes to Lino-san in class. If I didn't stop her, she would have been flirting with Lino-san."
