Chapter 90: Rumors

Shiina Mashiro appeared to be perfectly well-behaved. There was no significant expression on her usually flat face. She sat quietly on the bed, completely unconcerned by her naked body exposed to the morning air, letting Renji Kamisaka choose her underwear for the day. After changing into her school uniform, Mashiro took Renji's hand and allowed him to lead her to the sink to wash her face. She didn't resist at all, her trust in Renji was absolute.

Renji Kamisaka gently wiped Mashiro's delicate cheeks with a soft towel and pinched them playfully, then led her downstairs for breakfast. After seeing Mashiro off at the station as usual, Renji and Shiina Mahiru returned to the platform and waited for the train to Soubu High School.

But today they left late and didn't cross paths with Sumireko Sanshokuin, who was usually on the same train. So, Mai Sakurajima sat next to him, her eyes fixed on Renji with a faint smile. Renji Kamisaka didn't know if he was lucky or what, but every time he boarded the train, there would always be an empty bench seat for him. Exactly. Who would want to stand if they could sit?

"Look, isn't that Mai Sakurajima? The famous actress!" "It's her! It's her!" "She's so sweet!" "The girl next to that boy is also cute, with blonde hair, oh oh!"

Mai Sakurajima was slightly surprised when she heard the whispers. Could those people see her again? She didn't understand when the loss of her presence would have an impact.

"Mai-senpai, you're really famous," Renji said, his tone teasing.

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but feel a surge of pride when his voice reached her ears. She deliberately raised her hand to lift her hair, flicking the ends against Renji's cheek. "That's natural, perverted junior, do you want to be famous?"

"No. I think I'm famous enough," Renji retorted.

"No, I don't think so." As she spoke, Mai Sakurajima leaned forward, and her soft lips landed on Renji's cheek.

Seeing this scene, the people around immediately grew excited. "Who is this beautiful boy?" "He was kissed on the cheek by Mai-chan! Is he her boyfriend?"

Renji Kamisaka felt that he was about to be killed by someone's gaze, and immediately looked at the mischievous Mai-senpai with a helpless expression. He wondered who was more attractive compared to Utaha Kasumigaoka. Maybe they could be brought together if he had the chance.

"Mai-senpai, do you still remember that you are an actress? Having a scandal with me will have a great impact on your career."

Hearing this, Mai Sakurajima shrugged indifferently. "That's good, I don't want to be an actress anymore." If her mother hadn't insisted on signing the contract, she wouldn't be in this situation now.

Renji Kamisaka saw her angry expression and knew that she was indeed upset. But he didn't say anything more. This was a good time to experiment and see if the phenomenon on his body had disappeared.

Mother's Call and School Gossip

After a while, Mai Sakurajima received a call from her mother, a loud and firm scolding.

"Mai, where have you been? Did you forget that you have a lot to do today? Why can't I see you in the apartment? Why is your luggage missing?" Her mother's voice sounded panicked and angry. "And what's that news just now? Are you in a relationship? You were photographed kissing a man's face? With such rumors, do you still want to act?"

Mai Sakurajima's face flushed, and her mood became complicated. She looked forward to her mother remembering her and finding her again. But she still felt wronged after being scolded. If she didn't move out, sooner or later she would die!

"Mai, where are you now? I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

"No need, Mother, I'm going to Soubu High School and I'm on the train now."

"Then I'll wait for you at school!"

After the phone call ended, Mai Sakurajima's face was still red. She looked at Renji Kamisaka with a guilty conscience. "Well, junior... you're going to be famous next."

Renji Kamisaka rolled his eyes and smiled, "It's fine. As long as I change the reason for my fame into a fact, I won't lose anything!"

Mai Sakurajima immediately crossed her arms and looked at him warily. Noticing his smirk, her cheeks flushed. She pretended to be calm and said, "Don't think about it. I don't like cheating men like you."

Renji Kamisaka didn't refute. What would happen in the future, who could know?

As soon as they got off the train, Mai Sakurajima was immediately taken away by her mother, a beautiful woman in a suit who looked very authoritative. Before leaving, the mother glared at Renji Kamisaka, her gaze sharp. Perhaps because of Shiina Mahiru next to him, Mrs. Sakurajima thought Renji had a beautiful girlfriend, but he was still involved with her daughter. That was damnable.

Just arriving in class, Tobe Kakeru came with a gossiping look on his face. "Hey, Renji, what's your relationship with the famous actress, Mai Sakurajima?" He giggled. "You're famous now!" As he said that, he showed Renji the news on his phone. It was a picture of Mai Sakurajima kissing his cheek.

"Shock, famous high school actress, Mai Sakurajima actually kissed a man's cheek in public! Is this her boyfriend?" "The boyfriend of a famous actress appeared on the train bench. Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature? My Mai, she's gone forever!"

Followed by all sorts of envious and jealous remarks from the comments on the news. Some people even said they wanted to find Renji Kamisaka, find him out, and beat him up with a sack.

Renji Kamisaka's mouth twitched. Realizing that Tobe Kakeru had spread it, other students in the class also looked his way, eagerly awaiting their answer. Renji Kamisaka said helplessly, "It's fake, I accidentally offended a senior sister, and she deliberately made me famous to teach me a profound lesson."

"Pfft, it's actually like this, then you're miserable," Tobe Kakeru sighed, a sympathetic look on his face. "Mai-senpai's fans are so numerous that they can line up in front of Soubu High School." He felt that Renji Kamisaka would definitely be beaten up.

Renji Kamisaka didn't care. After returning to his seat, Miura Yumiko and others came to ask, and he repeated the explanation he gave to Tobe Kakeru. Shiina Mahiru also explained for him. So everyone in the class knew that he had offended Mai Sakurajima, so he was pranked. However, even so, the boys were still envious. Let's not talk about the offense. Who wouldn't want to be kissed on the cheek by Mai Sakurajima! Sure enough, Renji Kamisaka should be punished by heaven!

After getting an explanation, Miura Yumiko breathed a sigh of relief. She now had an inexplicable feeling towards Renji Kamisaka, a mixture of attraction and concern. After all, she just didn't want to see him too close to other girls. She didn't mind what Mahiru said, but he definitely couldn't do that with her older sister!

Hayama Hayato was still depressed. He had learned the reason why Miura Yumiko was cold towards him. He wanted to mend the relationship, but he didn't know how to do it. Could he still confess to Miura Yumiko and ask her out? That would definitely not work. If he did that, his character would collapse, and he would completely lose the chance to pursue Yukinoshita Haruno. After all, she was a young lady, how could she date a "used" girl? Anyway, Hayama wanted to remain pure. He thought that only in this way could he have a chance to be with Haruno.

How pathetic. Hayama Hayato, who had only learned half of Haruno's way of life, hadn't noticed the fact that Yukinoshita Haruno was the ultimate sister-complex. The moment he caused Yukinoshita Yukino to be isolated by others in elementary school, he lost the qualification to be valued by Haruno.

Finally, Hayama Hayato could only maintain his usual smile and continue to work hard to maintain his small circle around him. Except that Miura Yumiko was no longer so close to him, nothing else had changed. The relationship between him and Miura Yumiko had returned to its original state of ordinary friends. This was only natural. There was no reason for Miura Yumiko to stay with someone who didn't care about her and continue to offer her smile...

If Renji Kamisaka saw her cold attitude, he might rush to hug her and try his best to make her happy.

And Hayama... Tsk!

The more Miura Yumiko saw Hayato's brilliant smile, the more she disliked him. Perhaps Miura Yumiko was still a little expectant at the beginning. Expecting Hayama to confess to her, hoping that he could be as honest as Renji Kamisaka and speak his mind. But no. Besides wanting to maintain his position in the small circle, Hayato Hayama continued to create the image of a warm and sunny big boy. Moreover, he didn't express his love for her at all. There was only the same gentleness towards everyone. Hayama, always belonged to everyone. The person in his heart was not her, Miura Yumiko. In that case, what could she miss?

Sitting in his seat, Renji Kamisaka was about to pull out materials for a light novel when a notification came from his phone.

Miura Yumiko: "Renji, are you free this afternoon? Yui wants to invite you to sing." Miura Yumiko: "We're already friends, but we haven't really gone out together. In the past, Hayato-kun would bring Tobe to invite us."

Renji Kamisaka unconsciously raised his eyes and looked towards Miura Yumiko. Miura Yumiko blushed and looked away, appearing a little embarrassed.

Renji Kamisaka: "Is it only Yui who wants to invite me? What about Yumiko?" He asked this question with a mischievous smile.

Miura Yumiko pursed her lips and tapped her fingers on her phone screen: "What do you think? We're friends. Yui's idea is my idea."

Renji Kamisaka: "Since Yumiko says so, let's do it tomorrow. Today isn't possible. I joined a club and have to take care of the president with a strange personality."

Miura Yumiko: "Tomorrow is also possible, but what club did you join?"

Renji Kamisaka: "It's a club established by Yukinoshita Yukino. After all, I have a good relationship with her sister. Haruno asked me to take care of her sister, so I joined." Renji Kamisaka: "Its name seems to be called the Service Club. Isn't it sexy? Now I'm the only club member."

Miura Yumiko couldn't help but frown when she saw this. "So, you're interested in Yukinoshita?"

Renji Kamisaka: "After all, she's very cute. I don't think there's any boy who doesn't like beautiful girls, and... she doesn't seem to have any friends. From elementary school to junior high, she was always ostracized."

Miura Yumiko: "No way, she doesn't have any friends at all. How did she do that?"

Renji Kamisaka: "So I said she has a strange personality. She's quite blunt and unwilling to speak tactfully, so it's easier for her to offend people."

Miura Yumiko: "Then what do you think of my personality?"

Renji Kamisaka: "Yumiko has a very good personality and treats her friends very well. So I've said it before, I admire you."

Miura Yumiko: "Did you say this to Mahiru too?"

Renji Kamisaka: "No, I only said this to Yumiko."

The topic of conversation suddenly ended here, as class began. Miura Yumiko blushed and looked at Renji casually from her seat. She couldn't help but cover her rapidly beating heart. This guy really knew how to make her happy.

But... what was with joining Yukinoshita's club? This was a club with only two people, and it had a sexy name. Doesn't the one close to the water get the moon first? Miura Yumiko suddenly felt a strange crisis. At the same time, she also became very curious about Yukinoshita Yukino. What was it like to have no friends from elementary school until now? How bad could her personality be?

Miura Yumiko was a little scared... It was normal for her to be scared. If Yukinoshita Yukino was serious, with that fighting power, she could make Miura Yumiko cry in just a few minutes.
