The Only Places You Can Cry Are Your Father's Arms and the Bathroom

Then she saw Mo Yi, the guy who, not long ago, was the most hated person in the entire Senba Academy, someone she wished she could bump into and get revenge on.

Having experienced the upheaval, Raiden Mei had long forgotten about Mo Yi's little matter, and still recognized him at a glance.

Raiden Mei, whose heart had become cold and eccentric, subconsciously thought, "Could it be that the other party is here to mock me?"

Since the Queen Mei became a joke, she hasn't received a confession from a boy in a long time.

Thinking of this, Raiden Mei's gaze sharpened as she stared at Mo Yi, as if to say that if Mo Yi dared to mock her, she would let him experience electroshock therapy.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

In fact, so much time had passed since the last incident, several months had gone by. Mo Yi, who was busy like a spinning top every day, had long forgotten about that somewhat irritable girl with long, straight black hair.

With so many female heroes Dark Sovereign Syndra, Nine-Tailed Fox Ahri, the Virtuoso, and Annie, the Dark Child his side, why would Mo Yi need any female classmates from the real world?

In addition, when Mo Yi last met Raiden Mei, she had long, straight black hair, but now she had a high ponytail tied with a big bow. Mo Yi, who was used to recognizing people by their hairstyle, naturally couldn't recognize Raiden Mei.

"That--"

Mo Yi said somewhat awkwardly:

"Are you my classmate? Did you get a new hairstyle?"

Raiden Mei: "..."

I'm clearly feeling really sad right now, and I wish I could transform into Great Demon King and destroy the world, so why do you have to come over and tell me lame jokes to make me laugh?

It's been almost a semester, don't you still recognize your classmates?

Why do you even need to ask if I got a new hairstyle?!

Do you judge people by their hairstyle, not their face? You jerk!

P. S.: Mei may be young, but her attribute on the Moe Girl Encyclopedia is listed as "older sister," while Theresa may be older, but her basic attribute is still "loli." You all probably understand why. (laughs)

Chapter 74: The only places where I can cry are my father's chest and the toilet.

"Snort--"

Of course, Raiden Mei still believed that Mo Yi had known her for a long time and was just teasing her now.

Although the other person's tone didn't carry the indifference and distance that Raiden Mei had sensed from her other friends, she wasn't in the mood to deal with Mo Yi right now.

His tone, tinged with the coldness and wariness he had developed over the past few days, said:

"If you came here to see a joke, then you've achieved your goal and can leave now."

"I'm not in the mood to play these boring games with you right now."

Mo Yi: "..."

Hey classmate, I really know you!

Don't be so wary and suspicious. This world isn't all bad people; there are also purely good people like me.

"Student, you've misunderstood."

Feeling somewhat awkward Mo Yi squatted down and looked the other person in the eye.

Speaking to someone from a high position might make them feel intimidated, which is why Mo Yi deliberately squatted down.

There's no way around it, I Mo Yi, am just such a kind and thoughtful person.

Of course, in Raiden Mei's eyes, Mo Yi was a very hateful and annoying guy at this moment.

"I really don't know you—"

Mo Yi continued:

"First of all, the place where you are sitting is where I often sit to play games and think. Since you also like sitting here, I will give this place to you."

Raiden Mei: "..."

You're talking like this place belongs to you. This is a public place. You can sit here, but I, Raiden Mei, can't?!

Of course, after experiencing various changes in human relationships, Mei has learned to be more sensitive and perceptive of the people around her, and is often able to easily see through other people's true thoughts.

From Mo Yi's pure yet flustered gaze, she discerned that he genuinely didn't know her and only harbored simple goodwill.

Seeing that his female classmate, who was protecting him like Hedgehog Cat, didn't reply, Mo Yi had no choice but to continue his monologue, saying, "Maybe it's just my imagination—"

"You seem to be in a bad mood. If you are, crying might make you feel better."

"Although it's said that the only places a girl can cry are her father's chest and the toilet, after I leave, there's no one here, and very few people pass by."

"You can cry without worry, classmate."

"There's nothing shameful about crying. As long as you wipe away your tears and stay strong after you've finished crying, that's all that matters."

"Uh, I think I said something weird—"

At this point, Mo Yi realized he had said too much, since speaking too much to someone you don't know well is a major taboo in interpersonal relationships.

People say that the worst thing is a friend's sudden concern. Not to mention that Mo Yi and the other person don't know each other at all, saying so much might make the other person think that he has some bad intentions towards them.

Forget it, I might as well go home and slip away.

"Then I'll be going now—"

"It would be best to say, classmate, your ponytail looks great."

I've heard that praise can make people feel better. I don't know if it's Mo Yi or not, but it doesn't cost any money. Who knows, maybe my words can save a girl who was on the verge of despair and bring her back to this beautiful world.

After saying that, Mo Yi stood up, turned around and walked away, preparing to go back to his comfortable sofa at home to take a nap. He had also made plans to play games with the Her Highness the Princess later.

"Waaah... Waaah... Ahh..."

The moment Mo Yi turned and walked away, Raiden Mei could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart!

First came soft, quiet whimpers, then more dramatic moans, and finally, an unstoppable barrage of groans.

It wasn't because Mo Yi's persuasion was particularly convincing, but because Mo Yi's words, "The only places a girl can cry are her father's chest and the toilet," reminded Raiden Mei of her father, Raiden Ryoma, who was imprisoned.

Even on the day of the incident, when she watched her father being taken away, Raiden Mei didn't cry or shed a single tear. Before he left, her father told her to be a strong girl, not to worry or be sad, that he would be alright, and that they would meet again soon.

Because of Raiden Ryoma's long-term instilling of strength in Raiden Mei endured these difficult days by holding back her tears, never showing weakness or giving up no matter what hardships she faced.
