Does gravity make me stronger?

But Xiangzi showed no reaction.

"Hachiman?"

"Ok?"

The girl called out softly, as if deliberately trying to get his attention.

The next moment, Xiangzi moved the microphone closer, even closer to her heart.

She took a deep breath, her thin lips, painted with lipstick, gleaming faintly.

“AveMujica is on the right track. I will pay off my father’s debts as soon as possible. Even so, he is still my only family.”

"Ah."

Hachiman nodded knowingly, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips, and in his heart, he completely rejected the possibility he had just considered.

Toyokawa Shoko is a girl who, even knowing the future will be difficult, is still willing to give it her all.

Someone like her could never be defeated by difficulties.

"If you need anything, just let me know and I'll help."

"Thank you."

Xiangzi bowed solemnly, and the unexpected response surprised him.

"And then, I want to apologize to everyone at Crychic."

“Crychic…”

Hachiman's eyes dimmed slightly.

When talking about Crychic, it's impossible to avoid the topic of Motoyo Nagasaki, and the grudge between the two girls is also a knot in his heart.

To resolve this feud, it is necessary to be honest about Xiangzi's current situation, which is tantamount to reopening Xiangzi's wounds.

Thinking of this, Hachiman covered his face in anguish.

"Isn't there a better way?"

"Nothing."

Xiangzi's eyes were a little moist: "Because of me, Deng and the others must be very sad and troubled."

Hachiman hesitated for a moment, lowered his eyes, half-closed them, and said gently, "When it's time to apologize, I'll go with you."

"Ah."

"Hey, don't be so serious, let's talk about something happy."

Even so, Xiangzi's expression didn't look happy at all.

Hachiman forced a smile: "After paying off your debts, have you thought about what to do?"

"Well... the band will continue. I've decided to make a living as a musician. As for the future..."

Xiangzi touched his chin with his fingers, as if he had thought of something happy, and a smile finally appeared on his previously gloomy expression.

"Oh right, I want to buy a beautiful apartment, grow some flowers on the balcony, and get a cat, just like Yuki-kun from Hachiman's family!"

Like a child, Hachiman hadn't seen Shoko smile so happily in a long time.

His frustration was dispelled by these emotions.

"Hmph, our Xuejun is really cute, isn't she?"

"Yes, and I'd also like to travel to Hokkaido, is that okay? The snow there must be beautiful."

"Ah."

"After going to Hokkaido, I want to go to Okinawa. I want to go to the beach!"

"besides..."

"It's okay, whatever it is, it's okay."

"Hachiman..."

A trembling voice drifted from ahead.

Hachiman looked over in surprise, only to see two lines of clear tears quietly sliding down Xiangzi's delicate and pretty face.

She pressed her lips together tightly, clearly enduring something.

"..."

Hachiman fell silent. Countless words of comfort were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't utter a single one.

After a long while, Xiangzi finally spoke in a voice trembling with tears.

"What I just said is about my future self."

"At present, Toyokawa Shoko not only has no property, but also owes huge debts. He has no skills, and the only thing he is good at is playing house music."

"I'm so useless..."

"No...!"

Sensing the disappointment in Xiangzi's tone, Hachiman became somewhat anxious.

The Toyokawa Shoko he knew was a keyboardist blessed by the god of music, a girl stronger than anyone else, and...

Suddenly, I felt nauseous.

Isn't this kind of unauthorized expectation exactly what he hates most?

His shoulders were trembling, and at the same time, Xiangzi covered his mouth with his left hand, at a loss.

The sight of the girl sobbing uncontrollably made Hachiman's stomach churn with a bitter feeling, and he couldn't help but want to stop Shoko from continuing.

6-> 35

Xiangzi's gravity value rose rapidly.

He used to always find a way to solve problems, but now he is completely powerless.

After a long while.

The crying gradually subsided, and the accompaniment to "Spring Shadow" had long since stopped, leaving only a black LED screen flickering occasionally in front of them.

35-> 3

The gravity value dropped to its lowest level in one go.

[Congratulations, host, you have significantly reduced your gravity level]

[Reward received...]

"Hey?"

The sudden change left Hachiman somewhat bewildered.

Xiangzi stood with her back to the dark LED screen. The tears on her face had stopped flowing, and her lips were stubbornly pursed. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

"Hachiman..."

"what?"

The lights were dim, making it impossible to see Xiangzi's expression clearly. The only thing that could be heard was her trembling voice echoing in the quiet room.

"Um, finally, after everything is over... can I... can I be your girlfriend?"

The voice, which was almost too faint to hear, now penetrated Hachiman's ears with unparalleled clarity.

With a loud bang.

My brain is about to explode.

Hachiman stood there, stunned, for a very long time still unable to process what he had just said.

girlfriend?

I?

Is this a confession?

Based on his past thoughts, Hachiman realized that this cute and intelligent girl probably liked him.

But whenever he thought about it, his experiences from junior high school would turn into an invisible monster, constantly tearing at his reason and telling him that it was all just his own fantasy.

Do true feelings really exist?

Could the system be another product of his teenage fantasies?

Then, all sorts of wild thoughts coalesced into a feeling of disgust, silencing his eager heart.

That's why he didn't take any action.

but.

At that moment, the noise suddenly disappeared.

The girl clearly told him her feelings, not through her thoughts, but through real words.

Even so, distant whispers still echoed in my ears.

is that true?

Is she joking?

However, with her still moist eyes conveying her most sincere feelings to Hachiman, Shoko spoke again, this time with unwavering determination.

"Hachiman, I love you. Will you be with me?"

Chapter 213 7210 Su Shi: Did Xiangzi's confession fail?

What is liking?

What is love?

General Hachiman Hikigaya (junior high school version) once said, "Love" is the most useless and evil emotion among humankind.

It's a tool for girls to manipulate boys' minds!

This is the best reason why boys are willing to become "simps"!

So the question is, how did Hachiman Hikigaya (junior high school version) arrive at this conclusion?

Yes, it happened after I was rejected several times when I confessed my feelings...

While the critical comments made during junior high school may have contained some nonsense, Hachiman still believes that most people's likes during their student days are unreasonable.

It was a feeling different from "love" that arose from a vague curiosity and admiration for the opposite sex.

Therefore, Hachiman once vehemently criticized this sentiment.

just.

When he faced the confession, the theoretical edifice he had painstakingly built collapsed.

Does physics not exist?

He completely ignored the system's complaints.

Despite his profound bewilderment at the "love" others spoke of, Hachiman was clear about his own feelings.

When he was with Xiangzi, his heart would suddenly race, his eyes would dart around, and he would often want to have more physical contact with her.

These signs are already quite obvious.

More importantly, he would unconsciously accept Xiangzi's requests, take the initiative to help her, and be willing to take on unnecessary responsibilities.

Boys are so good at understanding things...

Deeply analyzing his own thoughts, Hachiman silently exhaled, preparing to respond to the girl's confession.

"I..."

"Wait a moment!"

After confessing his feelings, Xiangzi seemed to regain his lost strength and raised his hand, waving it frantically in front of his chest.

"I know what you're going to say, Hachiman, so don't say it now."

You know nothing!

Before he could finish speaking, Hachiman immediately deflated.
