The Door is Welded Shut

Chapter 8

Toru Oikawa was infuriated.

He gritted his teeth and smiled as he pinched Shi-si's face. He wished he could pinch and flatten this little girl.

The other party, on the other hand, was patting his hand softly and groaning in pain.

Toru Oikawa did not want to talk to Shi-si anymore. He was so angry that he was about to explode.

He had treasured his first kiss for more than ten years and had not been taken away by a fanatic fan. Now, he was told that the other party had already been raped by an unknown person.

— — Ah!

He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone!

Toru Oikawa held Shi-si's hand and walked towards the classroom aggressively. He walked in front with his long legs, while the short-legged Shi-si could only trot behind him.

Almost all the students on this floor saw the legendary Ichikawa walking hand in hand with the recently announced invisible person, Saki.

More importantly, Shi-si was wearing a boy's uniform that was obviously several sizes too big!

The news spread almost instantly, especially when Toru Oikawa entered the classroom for the first time with a cold face. His classmates were shocked.

After all, this was the same Toru Oikawa who had not been so angry when he lost the national competition in Beichuan.

Toru Oikawa, who was sitting in his seat, had planned to show his anger by not talking to Shi-si for the whole day. He wanted to make the heartless little ingrate feel guilty. However, when he found out that people kept throwing small notes at her during class, he gave up on the idea.

— — "Come to the rooftop at noon?"

During lunch break, Toru Oikawa stood beside Shi-si's desk and flipped through the small notes that had fallen around her books. They were either asking her to go to the rooftop or the small garden behind. In short, it was a necessary place for school bullying.

However, the whole class was looking at Toru Oikawa, whose face was even darker than before. Many of the girls who had thrown the notes were a little restless.

He didn't think about who these people were. After all, this kind of thing was common in junior high school.

Although Toru Oikawa was usually very gentlemanly to girls, and he didn't even refuse a photo, autograph, or biscuit, that was only the gentle side of his personality on the surface. In fact, if it wasn't someone he cared about who was being bullied in front of him, he wouldn't care at all.

To put it simply, Toru Oikawa was the type of person who treated people extremely differently.

"You are not allowed to go."

"Roar."

"You're not allowed to go in the future. If anyone asks you out, tell me."

After Toru Oikawa said this, Shi-si thought for a moment and sat down on her seat. She tugged at Toru Oikawa's clothes and motioned for him to bend down.

She was already short, so it was quite uncomfortable for her to be in such a high position while standing while sitting.

Therefore, the students in the class looked at Toru Oikawa, who was usually very gentle and extroverted, and knew that he had an extremely bad personality after just a little contact. He obediently bent down and was pulled by the collar and whispered in his ear.

"Once before."

"Who told you to come?"

"I don't know."

After straightening up, Toru Oikawa bent two fingers and gently tapped on Shi-si's desk. He seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, his originally gloomy face suddenly brightened up. He held ShiSi's hand and walked out. When he finally reached the door of the classroom, he revealed a bright smile to the people left in the classroom.

"If anyone dares to cause trouble for Shi-chan in the future, I'll be very angry."

Toru Oikawa never cared about what the girls who liked him thought. He didn't care at all. He gave Shi-si a piece of bread and milk in his arms and then took her to a resting place to rest.

The phone in his hand rang. Toru Oikawa was originally sitting beside Shi-si. When he saw that she had an email, he leaned his head on her shoulder with a piece of bread in his mouth and leaned over to read it.

When he saw the words "Dear Ryota" from the sender, he hugged her angrily. From afar, he looked like a large animal hugging its cub.

"That's too much!

You're obviously with me, but you're still receiving emails from others! "

Shi-si ignored him and replied to Ryota Hwang Se's message. However, it was sent right under Toru Oikawa's nose, so there was no privacy to speak of.

"Xiao Shi Si, I'll wait for you at the school gate after school."

"Okay."

Toru Oikawa stroked Shi-si's hair and leaned over to ask in her ear.

"Why are you going out?"

"Let's eat."

"I can take you out to eat."

"I said yes last night."

When he thought about it, Shi-si was in his bed at that time. Toru Oikawa had purposely let Huang Se, who was on the other side of the phone, hear his voice.

He thought to himself that he should skip the volleyball practice at night. Although he would be sent flying by Gamma Iwakizumi, it should be fine if it was only for one night.

Then he thought that if he sent Shi-si every day in the future, it wouldn't be good to wait for him in the volleyball stadium as an outsider. Thus, he watched as Shi-si finished the bread and milk in her hand and pulled her back.

"Speaking of which, do you want to be the manager of the volleyball club?"

"Yes."

He had originally wanted to find an excuse to persuade her, but he didn't expect Shi-si to agree so readily.

Toru Oikawa blinked his beautiful eyes and stared at Shi-si, who was licking the cream on her hand.

"Then I'll go report to Yan-chan. It just so happens that the volleyball club doesn't have a manager.

But it might be a bit tiring. If you find it difficult, remember to tell me. "

"Fortunately, I've done it before."

"Eh?!

Shi-chan, who never communicates with others, was actually the manager of a sports club?

What club is it? "

"Basketball."

Just as he pulled her to the entrance of the volleyball stadium, a volleyball suddenly hit Toru Oikawa's face. He rubbed his face and looked inside. Sure enough, it was Gamma Iwakizumi who threw it.

"What are you doing, Yan-chan!

It hurts! "

"Those who skip the morning training have no human rights!"

"How can you do this!"

The other members ridiculed their backbone. Although Toru Oikawa wasn't the head of the club, he still became the pillar of the entire Aoba-nishi volleyball club.

The others saw him holding a girl's hand and started to jeer. But some people recognized that this was the girl they met at the food street. Suddenly, they looked at Toru Oikawa differently.

"Tetsuya."

"What?"

"The volleyball club doesn't allow family members to be brought in so openly."

"What family member? Ahem, although it's not wrong, I'm here to recommend the manager."

“????”

Gamma Iwakizumi and a bunch of other boys surrounded them. Shi-si shrank her neck and hid behind Toru Oikawa. Not because she was afraid of people, but because volleyball players and basketball players were about the same height. The height difference was too big. When they surrounded her, it was like a wall.

"No way?

So cute!

Is our volleyball club finally going to have a beautiful manager?! "

"What are you doing!

Stay away!

No matter how pretty Shi-chan is, don't touch her, or I'll beat you up! "

Gamma Iwakizumi and the others didn't have any objections. After all, it was convenient to have a manager. In fact, it wasn't that no one applied for the position in the volleyball club, but most of them came for Toru Oikawa. The coach didn't want them because he thought they were noisy.

But if it was Toru Oikawa who recommended her, there might be a chance.

"Are you sure this student is so … uh, she looks small, no problem?"

Facing Gamma Iwakizumi's question, Tetsuya Oikawa wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shi-si for the first time.

"I'm not small, I'm 1.5 meters tall."

Her friend who was drinking water heard this rebuttal and laughed so hard that she coughed out the water. Then she shouted behind Gamma Iwakizumi.

"You're not small, you're at least 1.5 meters tall!"

In front of a group of tall guys, 150 was really … a bit funny. However, the boys didn't have the heart to laugh at her. Instead, they felt this girl was quite interesting.

"Ya-chan, I'll take a leave of absence for tonight's training."

"No, you died this morning!"

"Please, please, this concerns my life!"

"As long as you don't die on the way, it's not a big deal."

"So heartless!"

On the other side, a group of boys surrounded the girl and chatted with her. But knowing that she was brought by Toru Oikawa, they didn't talk too much.

He took out a manager application form and handed it to Shi-si. Then he directly sat beside her and instructed her how to write it.

The volleyball club members who saw this scene widened their eyes. One of them pulled Gamma Iwakizumi's arm and said in surprise.

"No way, that narcissist with a terrible personality would treat a girl like this. Isn't he the kind of guy who can walk among thousands of flowers and never be touched?"

Gamma Iwakizumi rolled her eyes at the ceiling.

"Because he's the kind of guy who is pursued by girls, but will be eaten by a specific person."

"So, is this the legendary failure of a car?"

"I'm pretty sure."

In just one afternoon, the news that Toru Oikawa, who never meddled in other people's business, actually protected a marginalized girl spread like wildfire. Almost everyone in the school knew about it. However, Toru Oikawa didn't care at all, and Shi-si basically didn't care about this kind of thing, so she didn't hear about it.

After school, as expected, Huang Se called. Shi-si, who was holding the phone between her ear and shoulder, listened to Huang Se tell her that the person was at the school gate. Shi-si reflexively packed her bag and looked out the window.

Her golden hair shone brightly under the sunlight, making her very recognizable.

There were quite a number of girls surrounding her. When Kawase Ryota saw her, he immediately raised his head and smiled. He then waved his hand at the floor where the shop was located.

At this time, Toru Oikawa also looked over.

Shi-si, who was originally responding to Huang Se, was now in the same frame as Toru Oikawa. The smile on her face fell a little. She apologized to the girl beside her and squeezed through the crowd, intending to pick up the person inside.

"Are you going too?"

"Yes, because I promised to bring Shi-chan home."

"Ryota can."

"Ryota can't."

Toru Oikawa felt the veins on his forehead bulging. He squatted down and poked Shi-si's face.

"Don't forget that you took advantage of me, so this is compensation."

Toru Oikawa's ability to lie through his teeth was unparalleled. He didn't even blush when he said such unrealistic words.

Shi-si, who was fooled, nodded. Toru Oikawa held her hand and walked out.

Ryota Hwang Se, who was originally happy, was about to explode when he saw the two people walking out hand in hand. Although he didn't know who the man on the phone last night was, he had an answer in his heart when he saw Toru Oikawa's face.

Especially — — his Xiao Shi Si!

She was wearing!

A few sizes too big!

A boy's uniform!

Ryota Hwang Se almost showed a level 10 pupil earthquake. He comforted himself with his amazing ability to resist blows. The phone in his hand was almost crushed. If looks could kill, Toru Oikawa would have died 800 times.

However, Huang Se still had a smile on his face. When Shi-si walked closer, he went up to her and called out to her, "Xiao Shi Si, Xiao Shi Si."

"Thank you, classmate. I'll take Xiao Shi Si with me."

He reached out to hold Shi-si's other hand and wanted to take her away. However, Toru Oikawa also smiled at Huang Se. He didn't let her go at all.

Therefore, the girls who were waiting at the school gate saw a very strange scene. Bai Xue's aura filled the atmosphere.

— — Brat, let go of her!

— — To let the two of you have some alone time, Chuan Che and I would write our names upside down!

"No need to thank me. But since Si-chan invited me today, why don't we go together?"

"Hahaha, but classmate, I don't know you well. Why don't I invite you alone next time?"

"Since you don't know me well, you don't have to disturb me. I'm familiar with Si-chan."

"No, no, no. Let's go alone."

Being sandwiched between two very tall athletes, Shi Si looked like a little chick that was being carried by them. It was extremely pitiful.

"I'm hungry."

"I'll take you to eat now."

"Let's go. I'll buy you some dried fish on the way."

The two big boys didn't give in to each other. They were both in high school, so there was no such thing as seniors. Shi-si, who was in the middle of the storm, was a straight man. Reading air?

Sorry, she really didn't know how to read air.

As a result, an 8,000-watt third wheel suddenly appeared in Huang Ase's sweet two-person world. Not only did this third wheel ruin his love life, but she also tried to stop him midway.

This was too much!

Looking at Shiji, who was sitting behind the two-seater bicycle, Yoshase Ryota was on the verge of tears. After all, Yoshase Ryota had suggested that it would be better for the three of them to travel separately than to travel together. As for Yoshase Ryota, he could only watch as the despicable Kazekawa Toru laughed and rode away with Shiji.

Gritting his teeth, Ryota Hwang Se reluctantly called a taxi and went to the place he booked.

Shi-si didn't know why Toru Oikawa was so happy. However, the person riding in front of her just hummed an unknown tune and laughed.

"Because the handsome Great Demon King defeated the useless Prince."

"That demon king is very powerful."

"Hmph, of course."

Her heart was bubbling with pride. Because the taxi was faster, Toru Oikawa slowly drove Shi-si to the business district. When the other party saw Huang Se, who was shouting "Xiao Shi Si" and rushing over, Shi-si reached out and rubbed the fur of Huang Se, who was squatting in her arms, as if she was comforting a crying golden retriever.

Tetsuya, who was parked at the side, was so angry that his fur stood on end. He couldn't wait to pounce on the scheming dog and bite him to death.

"Alright, alright. So, Hawase-kun is a crybaby character. You really gave me a shock."

"That's not it!

Don't talk nonsense! "

"But I'm just stating the truth, and I'm clinging to a girl my age on the street. Will there be news like [Popular Model Molesting Young Girl on the Street] in tomorrow's news?"

"Hey!

Your mouth is so bad! "

Ryota Hwang Se was shocked by Toru Oikawa's words, but Shi-si, who was in the middle of the discussion, didn't feel anything. After all, Ryota Hwang Se had always been the one who was bullied in the Basketball club, so she didn't have any awareness of Toru Oikawa's terrible personality.

In the end, Shi-si brought two people who didn't see eye to eye into a barbecue restaurant. It was rare to see two male and one female customers, especially when two extraordinarily good-looking teenagers were silently confronting each other. Even the waiter took a few more glances at them.

Ryota Hwang Se, who was a step behind at the beginning, was careful this time. He took a step forward and passed Toru Oikawa's position. He hugged Shi-si's arm and sat down side by side in a small booth.

Toru Oikawa: Treacherous official?!

You set me up!

Toru Oikawa had no choice but to sit opposite Shi-si. He saw that Ryota Hwang Se was almost glued to Shi-si, so he poured a glass of water for Shi-si with the kettle on the table. He handed it over with a smile and looked at Ryota Hwang Se from the corner of his eye.
