The Door is Welded Shut
Chapter 5
ShiSi didn't think that he would be cornered. He had even agreed to wait for Chuan Che's club event to end before he was cornered.
There were a lot of girls looking for her. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, and some were thin, but without exception, she didn't know who they were.
Shi-si pushed up the glasses on her face and blinked innocently. She tried to figure out what was going on, but she was pushed by the upperclassman standing at the front.
"Why are you looking at me like that?
We all agreed that no one is allowed to covet Tetsuya, what's wrong with you? "
Tetsuya … Junior.
She realized that the person in front of her was actually a senior. However, Shi-si's attention was focused on Toru Oikawa's surname.
Although she called him by his name because of Toru Oikawa's request in the morning, the surname required three pronunciations. She repeated it several times in her mind because of what the upperclassman said.
— — Well, I won't forget next time.
She used the effort of memorizing a mathematical formula to remember the name of the person who would take her to and from school every day. However, after seeing that she didn't respond at all, the upperclassmen were very unhappy.
"Hey!
Give me a reaction, don't make it seem like we're looking for you for no reason! "
— — But you guys are really looking for no reason.
Shi-si thought so in her heart and showed it on her face. As a mollusk, she didn't like walking upright. If she could lie down, she wouldn't sit. If she could sit, she wouldn't stand.
She had planned to find a secluded corner in the volleyball hall to rest for a while, but this was the result of being intercepted halfway.
She was annoyed.
Although Shi-si could summon the wind and rain in the sea, when she went ashore, her body size and strength that could drive sperm whales away turned her into a small octopus.
Confronting this kind of immature human cub was like pecking chickens. If possible, Shi-si wanted to avoid this situation.
[Che, you're so troublesome.]
Squinting her eyes, Shi-si stared at her seniors who were a head taller than her through her glasses. She really wanted to tell them that she wasn't, and that it was Toru Oikawa who wanted to send her to school. However, that sentence was too long. Shi-si, who wasn't used to using human vocal cords to speak, decided to remain silent. Those who were looking for trouble suddenly laughed when they saw how easy it was to deal with her.
"It can't be. I heard that you're a marginalized person who is ostracized by all the girls in the high school. I thought you had a strong personality, but I didn't expect you to have such a weak reaction. Could it be that you can't find any friends because of this?"
[Of course not, but you're really annoying.]
Originally, he wanted to ignore these girls and walk past them to find Toru Oikawa. However, due to his short stature and short legs, he was a step slower and was discovered by the seniors.
Just as the senior was about to raise her hand to greet Lin Sanjiu, someone behind her stopped her.
It was a hand that suddenly reached out from behind him. It was so sudden that even ShiSi himself was shocked. ShiSi took three steps back and only stopped when he bumped into the chest of the person who had suddenly appeared.
The other party didn't seem to expect to scare Lin Sanjiu. She laughed softly and let go of the senior's hand that was about to hit Lin Sanjiu.
"Classmate, bullying in school is not a good thing."
A low and gentle voice came from behind. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw that the person was also very tall. Her long indigo hair hung down beside her cheeks, and she wore a green forehead protector on her forehead. However, she had never seen the uniform she was wearing before.
She's an outsider.
Before Shi-si could voice her thoughts, the girl who was held by the wrist spoke first.
For some reason, the originally aggressive senior suddenly softened her voice. She was like an animal that had been tamed. In front of others, she was completely different.
"Please don't speak nonsense. You must have misunderstood. How could girls like us bully others!"
"Ah, it's better if that's the case. I just happened to pass by."
Although Shi-si could clearly feel the change in the girls, they weren't stupid. After a while, they asked, "Classmate, if you're an outsider, why would you appear on Aoba-nishi's campus?"
Shi-si, who felt that she was no longer useful, quietly moved back, trying to get away from these people's auras and quickly run away.
However, the foreign student with a very unique temperament grabbed her without leaving a trace. Then, he raised a very gentle but obviously problematic smile.
"I'm a member of Lihai University's tennis team who came here to play in a practice match. I went through a formal application to come to your school. Classmate, are you sure you want to continue discussing this issue with me?
My other team members are behind and will be here soon. "
The Lihai University student's tone of voice was questioning, but he didn't hide his confrontational temperament.
Shi-si saw the girls frowning as they walked away. Before the leader left, she gave Shi-si a fierce look.
However, this kind of behavior was like Toru Oikawa throwing flirtatious glances at her. Shi-si couldn't understand it and couldn't receive it at all.
According to Shi-si's personality, she should've nodded her head to express her thanks and then turned around to leave. However, before she could react, the guy spoke first.
"Classmate, you wanted to leave me behind and leave first, right?"
Because this sentence was the truth, Shi-si thought about it and nodded honestly.
Perhaps he was frightened by her confession, but the tall guy laughed instead.
"Ah, what a surprise, you actually admitted it.
En, I won't say anymore. I won't ask about your matters. My name is Seiichi Yukimura. May I ask where Aoba-nishi's tennis team is? "
Ask for directions?
Don't ask … Shi-si was very self-aware of her own ability to recognize directions. Even someone like Toru Oikawa couldn't stand watching her go to and from school. It was already a good thing that she could recognize her own class, let alone the tennis team.
She didn't participate in any of the clubs because she thought it was troublesome, so she really couldn't do anything about this problem.
Thus, he confidently puffed out his chest and raised his head. Looking into the other party's beautiful eyes, he shook his head firmly.
Then when she saw a group of people carrying tennis bags like Seiichi Yukimura coming over, she trotted away. She was completely ungrateful.
"Director, how was it? Did you ask for directions?"
Chihara waved his hand as he walked over. Seiichi Yukimura just shook his head. "No, I met a girl who didn't seem to know, and then she ran away."
"Ran away?"
Chihara seemed to be surprised by this statement, and then he said with a shocked face, "There's actually a girl who rejected your flirting, what kind of warrior is she?!"
However, Shi-si didn't know about this, because for someone with face blindness, it was really hard for her to judge whether someone was good-looking or not. It was only during the three years that she became familiar with the faces of Ryota Hwang Se, Akashiji Seijuro, and the group of basketball players. Occasionally, she would feel that Ryota and Zheng were very pleasing to the eye.
Yes, they were very pleasing to the eyes of a big octopus like her.
In fact, Toru Oikawa was also one of the pleasing types.
Although she didn't know how to get to the volleyball club, she was near the gymnasium, so after walking back and forth for an hour, she finally heard the sound of volleyball on campus, mixed with the screams of many girls, including the pronunciation of the word "Tetsuya".
— — Found him.
When she walked in, she found that there were actually a lot of people in the volleyball stadium. There were girls standing in the stands, and there were also club members wearing the same sportswear running back and forth. Shi-si squinted her eyes through the thin lenses of her glasses to find Toru Oikawa, but she couldn't find him after looking for a long time.
For mollusks, face blindness really couldn't be forced …
Therefore, he chose to go up to the high platform and found an empty corner. Then, he took out the book from his bag and began to draw quietly.
This was because she still had to take the college entrance exam. Although her results were not bad, she had basically memorized everything. She was not confident that she would be able to remember all this knowledge after three years. Therefore, if possible, it was not a bad choice to use painting to recommend her to college. And it was obvious that Shi Si was quite talented in painting.
The book in her hand was the one that Toru Oikawa saw in class. Shi-si stared at the boys moving back and forth on the court, concentrating on drawing a dynamic sketch. There was a reason why she loved to draw athletic men. After all, her seniors told her that humans were still separated from them by reproduction, and if she wanted to efficiently inseminate, it was better to find a human male with a good physique.
Therefore, when she was studying in Teiguang, she had a good relationship with the people in the Basketball club.
Although she had a bad accident.
Although the car was overturned and he was half-dead.
Although Akashi Seishiro, who she had been raising for three years, suddenly turned into a carnivorous food, and almost turned her poor octopus into a stew to eat.
[No.]
Shi-si's grasp of time wasn't very accurate. After all, there was no sunlight in the deep sea, so she didn't have a sense of time. When she felt that her wrist was a little sore and wanted to take a break, the first thing she saw was Toru Oikawa bending over in front of her.
The two of them were very close to each other, so close that they could even breathe each other's breaths.
It was obvious that the distance between them didn't startle Shiji. Instead, Kishikawa Toru straightened his back and turned to sit beside her, resting his chin on his hand as he spoke.
"Aiya, Shi-chan is drawing, is she drawing me?"
"I don't know."
"Eh?
Why don't you know? "
"Because I can't recognize you."
Hearing this obviously problematic answer, but to Shi-si, Toru Oikawa was a little angry, but then he felt relieved. He consciously picked up Shi-si's bag, helped her pack her things, and directly pulled Shi-si's hand out without caring if there was anyone else in the volleyball court.
Toru Oikawa felt the small hand in his palm. It was a little cold, and the texture of her skin was smoother than the average person's, as if she often soaked in water.
Usually, after the club activities ended, it was already dark. Toru Oikawa turned on the flashlight on his phone and looked for his bicycle in the garage. While pushing the bicycle out, he thought of something.
"By the way, Shi-chan, do you want to save my phone number and email address?"
"Okay."
Shi-si didn't care about this kind of thing, so she walked up to Toru Oikawa and pulled his jacket. Like climbing a tree, she grabbed her bag.
Toru Oikawa didn't want to help because of his selfishness. Instead, he used his foot to support the bicycle, one hand holding the handlebars, and the other hand holding Shi-si's waist.
It was still the same fruity fragrance. Both of them were pressed against each other, and Kazukawa Tetsuji could feel Shiro's softness. It wasn't just the softness of their skin, it was the feeling of 'Ah, this person is so soft'.
After a while, he took out his phone and handed it to Tatsukawa Toru. Tatsukawa Toru clicked on the application and added his contact information.
Toru Oikawa wasn't a person who liked to pry into other people's privacy, but when he saved a phone number, he would see other contacts.
He realized that there was only one phone number in ShiSi's phone. It was so thin that it was just like how she usually made friends.
The phone number was saved as [Dear Ryota].
There was also an emoji at the end.
Toru Oikawa was so angry that he almost broke the home button.
Thus, he immediately entered [Beloved Tsuhar-sama] into the editor's name and added an emoji that was even cuter than the one he sent to Kawase Ryota. Then, he dialed his own number and returned the phone to ShiSi with a smile.
After the phone in his pocket rang, Toru Oikawa took out his phone and saved Shi-si's number. It was [A's cutest Shi-chan]. He was sure that when he opened the contact list, the first thing he saw would be her contact information.
In order to ride a bike without being stopped by the police, Toru Oikawa took out his two-seater car. The night wind was very comfortable after coming out of school. Toru Oikawa wasn't a cold person, so he chatted with Shi-si, who was hugging his waist, along the way.
For example, he asked her to remember to recognize him in the future and draw more pictures of him. He also asked her to bring what she wanted to eat tomorrow morning.
Shi-si didn't answer the first two questions. When she heard that it was time to eat, she rubbed her face against Toru Oikawa's back.
