Gentle people are always attracted to each other.

Chapter 82 Gentle people are always attracted to each other.

The rain poured down, and the raindrops fell to the ground, making a pattering sound.

Shiina Mahiru's cheeks were slightly flushed, her small hands nervously gripping Shinji Kaminaga's clothes, and her eyes were moist.

Her once frozen heart began to warm rapidly with his strong heartbeat.

While secretly observing his expression, the girl's heart couldn't help but flutter with a strange excitement.

Rainwater slid down his cheeks, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he walked steadily in the rain with him in his arms.

At that moment, she realized that Kaminari was really cool.

Unlike his previous self-aggrandizing image, which made him seem narcissistic, his strong arms and burning body temperature made everything feel so warm.

Shinji Kaminaga deliberately did not use teleportation, because that would have exposed his identity.

Moreover, Angel's body is fragrant and soft, and it feels so good to hold him. Naturally, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to hold him for a while longer.

Aren't people always so greedy?

Shinji Kaminaga is not simply a giant of light; he is both light and human. Having been given a second chance at life, he wants all the wonderful things he can experience.

As he was carrying Shiina Mahiru towards the apartment in the rain, the girl in his arms suddenly tugged at his collar with her small hand.

Shinji Kaminaga paused, then continued walking as usual, asking, "What's wrong? What does this idiot Shiina-san, who deliberately came here to get sick and skip class, have to say?"

"You're the idiot! I meant to ask—don't you want your umbrella anymore?"

With her small lips slightly pouting and cheeks flushed slightly, Shiina Mahiru looked a little embarrassed, but her voice was full of energy when she spoke.

It seems she's regained her energy; she even has the strength to argue with him now.

Shinji Kaminaga smiled slightly and replied, "What's an umbrella compared to Angel-kun? Besides, if I got caught in the rain with you and lost my umbrella, you'd definitely feel guilty and repay me with an even better gift, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru stared at the person speechlessly and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You're the big idiot. Saying something like this makes it sound like you're trying to get something in return, and you want a thank-you gift? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Also, I've told you not to call me an angel anymore, but I—I'm not an angel at all!"

At this point, the girl's bright eyes quickly lost their luster.

If she were an angel, why would her parents see her as a burden, or even as a stain on their lives?

Just as she was feeling down, Shinji Kaminari's words rang out.

"If you're not stupid, why would you ignore your health and deliberately stand in the rain here because of others?"

"I--"

Shiina Mahiru opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Although she was touched by his concern, they weren't very close, and besides, he belonged to Yukinoshita, so could she really confide in him about her problems?

The girl hesitated.

Shinji Kaminaga continued to carry her forward. Although it was a bit silly to take her out in the rain, wasn't it a kind of romance in itself?

"Hey, Shiina-kun, I don't know what kind of blow you suffered, but I think you're much happier than me."

"Don't rush to refute me, let me finish."

Shinji Kaminaga took a deep breath and continued, "On the day I was born, I was found to have a problem with my vocal cords, so less than an hour later, I was abandoned at the gate of an orphanage."

Shiina Mahiru's eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her mouth, looking at him in disbelief.

She clearly hadn't expected that Shinji Kaminaga, who looked handsome, narcissistic yet sunny and warm, was actually an abandoned orphan.

"Because I can't speak, I'm often called a mute."

"In order to communicate with others, I learned sign language and how to use a notebook to communicate with my classmates."

"I was luckier than Shoko. She was deaf and it wasn't until she was three years old that she was diagnosed with congenital deafness, so she gained knowledge about the outside world three years later than other children."

"I grew up in an orphanage, and Sister Wuzi adopted me, becoming the first ray of light to illuminate my life."

"Shiina-kun, can you imagine a life where you're looked at with strange, pitying eyes every day because you can't speak?"

"Of course, I'm not saying this to elicit sympathy. I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, we must live for ourselves. Please cherish your body and stop doing foolish things."

"I may be narcissistic and shameless, but I can't stand seeing cute girls get hurt. So if you do anything stupid again, I'll still force you to go home like this."

"Okay, whatever happened, it's all in the past. Go back, take a shower, get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow will be a new beginning!"

As her tears fell, Shiina Mahiru's eyes welled up with moisture, and for a few seconds, tears glistened in them.

At that moment, she was almost certain that this man was the one who had saved her and Yukinoshita that night.

Those were such familiar words; she would never forget them in her entire life.

Burying her cheek against his chest and listening to his strong heartbeat, Shiina Mahiru seemed to gain strength, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Kamiaga-kun, thank you for comforting me."

"I think I'm alright now. Can you put me down and let me walk by myself?"

"No way, what if you hide and then stupidly go out in the rain? Besides—it feels so good, I haven't hugged it enough yet. If the boys in the class knew I hugged Angel, they'd definitely cry with envy and jealousy!"

"I won't cry, okay? I'll definitely feel envious and jealous, though. Besides, I'm not some kind of angel!"

While refuting, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but blush and complain.

"Your last sentence was the key point, wasn't it? Now I know why Yukinoshita always likes to pinch you. You really are—shameless! Pervert!"

Shinji Kaminaga chuckled and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, but even if you say that, I won't put you down."

Shiina Mahiru gently rubbed her burning face against his chest and muttered softly.

"I didn't expect you to let me go either—"

She wanted to savor this hard-won warmth a little longer.

After all, once he returned to the apartment, he belonged to Yukinoshita.

After hearing Shinji Kaminaga's story, she suddenly realized that she wasn't actually that miserable.

What does it matter if your parents hate you?

She was at least well-fed and clothed, enjoyed the best education, and never felt embarrassed about money in the past ten years.

Kaminaga was abandoned at birth, and Nishimiya was born deaf and had physical defects, yet she still lived optimistically, didn't she?

Although she also understands that Nishimiya's sunny disposition today is inseparable from the gentle care of Shinji Kaminaga and Yukino Yukinoshita.

Kaminaga-kun is such a kind person, just like Yukinoshita-kun.

No wonder these two have such a good relationship; truly gentle people are bound to be attracted to each other.

Unlike himself, who pretends to be a friendly "angel" to everyone, Kaminaga-kun and Yukinoshita-kun are the real angels!

Of course, Shiina Mahiru still couldn't shake off the heavy and disappointed feeling of being hit.

She felt more resentful and lost than anything else.

Thinking about it carefully, as a child, she worked hard to be a good child for more than ten years in order to reconcile with her parents. She did everything she could to train herself and cultivate herself to become the best person.

But then he suddenly realized that it was all in vain; getting his parents to reconcile, come home to eat with him, and enjoy the warmth of family together was simply impossible.

Anyone would be devastated by something like this.

However, perhaps she can recover soon.

After all, this guy is a scoundrel. She wanted to give up on herself, but he insisted on taking her home so as not to give her a chance to hurt herself.

Therefore, she couldn't let him down.
