Kushida Kikyo's Past / Kushida Kikyo's Love Bites Become Part of Everyday Life

"What do you take me for? I'm going to beat that woman fair and square!"

Kushida Kikyo suddenly rushed over and grabbed Hashiba Hikaru by the neck, then wrapped her thigh tightly around Hashiba Hikaru's waist. Although she looked angry, there was a smile on her lips.

"Okay, then I'll tutor you. Remember to pay the tutoring fee."

"Hehehe, I don't have any points to pay you, so use this to pay the bill~"

"Is this your real purpose?"

"Snort!"

Chapter 379 Kushida Kikyo's Past.

As the cool moonlight shone on the balcony, Hashiba Hikaru was grading Kushida Kikyo's exam papers.

"How was my accuracy rate?"

The short-haired girl wrapped her arms around the other person's neck, bringing her face close to his, wanting to know how she had done on the quiz today.

"Hmm, it feels alright... the accuracy rate is probably around 80%."

After grading the last question on the mock exam, Hashiba Hikaru smiled with relief. Actually, the boy was quite satisfied that Kushida Kikyo hadn't directly asked him for the answer; at least it showed that the girl's attitude was good.

"Eighty percent... that doesn't feel enough."

Kushida Kikyo frowned slightly as she held her mock exam paper. Her original plan was to compete with Horikita Suzune in English, a subject she excelled at and consistently scored above 90.

"There are still two weeks until the Final Exam. If we cram, we still have a chance to break through to a score of over 90."

Hashiba Hikaru flipped through the review materials the girl had brought. Two of them were reference materials that Ichinose had used to compile exam papers, so she might be able to find some of the original questions.

"Hikaru-kun, could you help me with my studies all this time?"

Kushida Kikyo raised her small face, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"It probably won't work. Honami and the others have finished compiling the test papers, and she might come here to stay overnight for the next two weeks."

Hashiba Hikaru stroked his chin. If he were to organize a study session with his classmates, his dorm room would likely be packed with people during this period.

"Tch, boring!"

After rolling her eyes dramatically, Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Her desire to have Hashiba Hikaru tutor her was only one reason; her main reason was that she wanted to see him every day so that she could get tutoring and enjoy sweet evenings together—a win-win situation.

But the girl knew that the other man also had a girlfriend and a devoted lover. If the three of them were competing for his time, someone's time would inevitably be taken up, leaving them feeling lonely.

"I can't help it, didn't I promise to spend the whole day with you next month on your birthday? Aren't you satisfied?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow. Kushida Kikyo's birthday is in January, which is still some time away.

"My birthday is still a long way off, but I'm already feeling a little unhappy..."

Kushida Kikyo threw the mock exam paper onto the table, then lay down directly on Hashiba Hikaru's lap.

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru stroked her soft, pretty face, her expression very tender.

"Hikaru-kun... do you think I can beat that woman Horikita?"

Kushida Kikyo gazed into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes and asked the question that had always been on her mind.

"I'm not sure. When it comes to comparing grades, doesn't the final result depend on who has prepared more thoroughly?"

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment, and he could roughly guess what the other person was hesitating about, but he didn't intend to say it out loud.

"I'm a little scared..."

Kushida Kikyo's voice suddenly dropped a notch. She rubbed her face against Hashiba Hikaru's large hand and asked nervously, "Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if I lost?"

"Everyone has to lose sometimes, no matter who they are. What's shameful about that?"

Hashiba Hikaru spoke gently, looking at Kushida Kikyo's face calmly, "This bet only came about because of Kikyo's inner thoughts. Even if you lose in the end, I believe Horikita- san won't reveal your secret."

"Why?"

"Because Horikita isn't that kind of person. She agreed to this bet just to shut you up."

"You actually dare to speak up for her? Huh?"

Kushida Kikyo suddenly reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Hashiba Hikaru's waist. This move seemed to be an innate skill of girls, something they could use almost without learning.

"Hiss... I was just expressing myself normally, okay? Where did I speak up for her?"

Hashiba Hikaru held her small hand, saying somewhat helplessly, "Horikita and I are just companions right now. If we're talking about closeness, I'd naturally lean more towards you."

"Hmph, who knows when you'll steal her away? Your character is completely untrustworthy!"

Kushida Kikyo said with absolute certainty, as if she had already witnessed that scene.

"That's pure fabrication. Horikita and I have never even held hands."

Hashiba Hikaru thought about it. Last time when he confronted the head of the Drama Club, he only touched the girl's hand. That didn't count as holding hands at all, so it couldn't be considered lying.

"You're not lying to me?"

Kushida Kikyo rested her head on Hashiba Hikaru's lap, her gaze fixed on the boy's handsome face.

"Certainly."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and nodded. Although Horikita Suzune's stock price had already risen to 100, the distance between the boy and her had not shortened much. This was related to the girl's aloof nature. She had only accepted acting as a companion, and it would probably have to wait and see if they could take things further.

"Hmph! I'll trust you this once and for all."

Kushida Kikyo couldn't actually tell whether Hashiba Hikaru was lying; she only asked the question to put her mind at ease.

"Then shouldn't I thank Kikyo for her generosity?"

Hashiba Hikaru held her soft, boneless hand, a joyful smile playing on her lips.

"Certainly."

"Okay, okay."

After a brief moment of tenderness, Kushida Kikyo suddenly said, "Hikaru-kun... would you like to know about my past?"

"Your past?"

Hashiba Hikaru was somewhat puzzled, but he quickly realized the deeper meaning behind the matter.

She targeted Horikita Suzune because the other person had a past they didn't want others to know.

This actually suggests that Kushida Kikyo's past is not simple, which is why Hashiba Hikaru is unwilling to delve into it. After all, everyone has secrets, and there is no need to pry, even with such a close relationship.

"Yes, do you want to know? If you do, I can tell you directly."

Kushida Kikyo straightened up, her gaze fixed intently on Hashiba Hikaru's eyes.

"..."

Hashiba Hikaru was silent for a moment, then nodded, probably thinking of something.

"If Kikyo is trying to confide in me, I'm willing to listen,"

The boy paused, then said in a steady tone, "However, I always believe that everyone has secrets they can't tell others. If you think it's better to talk about it, I'm willing to take on that responsibility."

After she finished speaking, it was Kushida Kikyo's turn to fall silent.

After she and Hashiba Hikaru reached this point, their close relationship destined them to become an inseparable whole. The secrets of the past were truths she was unwilling to reveal, but today she wanted to tell him everything.

This is honesty, and it also reflects Kushida Kikyo's determination to give her all to Hashiba Hikaru.

Upon hearing the boy's statement, she was surprised by his quick reaction. He immediately understood her deeper thoughts, and an uncontrollable surge of intense love welled up within her, completely enveloping her heart.

"What's wrong?"

"You're something else! Where did you learn all those ways to charm girls?"

"How did we suddenly end up here?"

Hashiba Hikaru stroked her chin and smiled, saying, "It seems Kikyo has made up her mind. Tell me then, and I'll listen carefully."

"Um."

Kushida Kikyo rested her small head on Hashiba Hikaru's chest and slowly recounted her past, a story filled with countless lies and deceptions, betrayals and trusts.

In summary, it's not that complicated; it's just that the final impact was so severe that it became a "taboo topic."

That was a large-scale student riot caused by Kushida Kikyo. Because she always gained everyone's trust, the girl was able to obtain many secrets through this trust, whether they were important secrets or trivial secrets, she could obtain them by getting closer to them.

This trust made Kushida Kikyo a popular figure during her junior high school years, but as she learned more and more secrets, this trust subtly transformed into deeper pressure. Unable to confide in anyone, the girl chose to publish the secrets she knew on her blog.

On one hand, she listens; on the other hand, she vents. Kushida Kikyo carefully maintains this balance.

Until one day, her secret blog was discovered by her classmates, and what awaited her was a barrage of condemnation from the entire class.

After this incident, Kushida Kikyo did not sit idly by but instead used even more drastic measures to retaliate: she directly revealed the [secrets] and [truths] she possessed, causing her classmates, who had initially been attacking her, to quickly change their stance and attack the very person she resented.

The revelation of this level of secrecy quickly destroyed the class's collective consciousness, causing chaos and rendering the class unable to function. The school finally had to suspend all classes to calm things down.

"This is my past... Are Hikaru-kun?"

After Kushida Kikyo finished speaking calmly, she took Hashiba Hikaru's hand and waited nervously for his reply.

"I'm not really surprised, I just think it really fits Kikyo's style."

Hashiba Hikaru sighed. He didn't express much of his thoughts, but instead held the girl's small hand and asked lightly, "So you're so nervous because you're afraid that Horikita will reveal this past?"

"Yes, because we went to the same junior high school, and so did her brother."

"Yeah?"

Hashiba Hikaru wasn't too surprised by this, since he knew that Horikita Suzune had always been chasing after her brother, so it was only natural that they would attend the same junior high school.

"Is that why Kikyo was assigned to Class D? That's incredible."

"Hikaru-kun, after hearing about my past, don't you have anything to say?"

Looking at the other person's gentle expression, Kushida Kikyo wanted to continue asking this question.

"Haven't I already stated my thoughts?"

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head and said calmly, "The person I know is Kushida Kikyo, who went to Advanced Nurturing High School. She's not the one who caused the class riot in junior high. There's no need to worry about her too much."

380

Chapter 380 Kushida Kikyo's teeth marks became a daily occurrence.

"The person I know is Kushida Kikyo, who went to Advanced Nurturing High School. She's not the one who caused the class riot in junior high. There's no need to pay too much attention to her."

When Hashiba Hikaru Kushida Kikyo's delicate body trembled. She stared intently at the other's face, a surge of even more intense emotions welling up inside her, almost reaching the top of her head.

"You..."

What's wrong with me?

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Am I wrong? There aren't many people in this world that I can care about, so naturally I have to focus my attention on the person in front of me."

"Ooh~"

The short-haired girl suddenly let out a gasp, then pounced on Hashiba Hikaru, knocking the boy to the ground before he could react.

"Why would you say something like that! You must have done it on purpose!"

The girl hugged the other person's neck tightly, and it seemed that crystal tears were sliding down her cheeks, soaking Hashiba Hikaru's chest.

"Because I like you, don't you feel honored?"

Hashiba Hikaru put her arm around her waist. Actually, today was quite a very interesting day of honesty. Kushida Kikyo laid bare her past to her, which meant that their hearts had grown closer and, in a sense, they had become truly open with each other.

"Hmph, you think sweet talk is enough? I'm going to punish you properly tonight for daring to make me cry!"

Kushida Kikyo found her body trembling uncontrollably. She couldn't control the burning passion surging within her and only wanted to be pressed tightly together with her lover right now.

Was it my fault after all?

"That's right, from now on you're not allowed to move, just leave everything to me!"

Kushida Kikyo sat on Hashiba Hikaru's lap, her beautiful eyes filled with nothing but his image.

Is this a good idea?
