Only Foolish People Like Foolish People

"So, do you think the decision you made is cruel to yourself?"

Even though the answer wasn't to her liking, Raphiel still asked.

"So what? This is my own decision." Gabriel defended, "I won't change my mind because of your words, so don't try to convince me."

Despite being caught off guard by Raphiel's sudden attack, if she carefully analyzed what Raphiel had said earlier, she could still guess her intentions.

Therefore, as long as her heart was firm, she wouldn't be shaken by her words.

"It seems you've already guessed why I said that."

Seeing she was aware, Raphiel had no choice but to abandon her plan to convince her with momentum.

Either her rhythm was wrong, or she chose the wrong question, giving Gabriel a chance to argue.

Or maybe it was because of the too short preparation time.

Everything happened suddenly, and she could only think on the spot, making it too easy to make a mistake.

"Of course, your goal is too obvious. You want me to give up the idea of just watching and take the initiative."

Gabriel sipped coffee, then tasted the bitterness again; she forgot to add sugar.

"You're indeed much smarter than Satania." Raphiel sat back in her chair and teased.

"Don't compare that idiot Satania with me. I always feel my IQ will be underestimated because of this. I'm not an idiot." Gabriel asserted.

"You're becoming more difficult to deal with."

"People change all the time."

"But even so, I still think there's something wrong with your idea, and unfortunately for you." Raphiel cajoled, "If you like, you can use the term 'cruel.'"

"Of course, I know there's something wrong with my idea, but your perspective is also wrong." Gabriel interrupted, "I can't do things I know will hurt him, but if you watch like this... I still feel a little reluctant to do it."

Raphiel asked hopefully, "Then what will you do?"

"Don't do anything, be content, take it step by step. Besides, it's still a long time." After a moment of silence, Gabriel gave her answer.

"Is there a difference between this approach and what you did before?" Raphiel complained.

"So what should I do? Take the initiative to confess?"

"I think it's okay."

"I don't think so. Besides, I just said many reasons why I can't confess. Why are you still insisting on asking me to confess!"

"No reason, I just don't want to see you feel uncomfortable." Raphiel replied.

"Anyway, I won't confess." Gabriel made a decision, "I can't do something like that."

"You're just shy. You deliberately find many reasons to convince yourself that you can't express your feelings." Raphiel suddenly understood something.

Gabriel denied, "No."

"You're starting to become tsundere."

"I'm not a tsundere!"

"Forget it; it's not impossible if you decide to maintain the status quo, as long as you don't miss the opportunity to be with him." Raphiel suggested, "By the way, a well-timed attack is also a good choice, just in case; are you confessing because of this?"

"Is this possible?" Gabriel was very doubtful.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Raphiel asked with a smile, "It's okay to give it a try. Everyone will be happy if you succeed. If you fail, you can still interact closely with each other. No matter how I think about it, it's a definite advantage."

"It seems reasonable."

The more Gabriel thought about it, the more she felt that Raphiel was right.

"If you don't mind, I can help you try it a few times." Raphiel offered, "See the effect."

"Can you help me try something like this?!"

"If it's Gabriel, there shouldn't be a problem." Raphiel's tone softened a bit.

"Why is it okay if it's me!"

"Because didn't you decide not to disturb her feelings?" Raphiel explained seriously, "If that's the case, then I can do anything to him?"

"I've given up on that idea! Now you're still thinking about him." Gabriel was so angry at her that she became a little confused.

"Are you finally admitting that you have thoughts about Kamikawa?"

Raphiel showed a proud smile.

"Who knows about that idiot!"

After realizing what she accidentally said, Gabriel quickly covered it up.

"Idiots always have ideas for idiots." Raphiel chuckled and asked, "So, are you an idiot?"

"I don't know."

"I remember, you just said you're not stupid; why don't you deny it now?"

"I want you to leave me alone; I'll ignore you."

······

"Take the initiative to attack?"

On the way home, Gabriel was still thinking about what Raphiel had just said.

Although Raphiel was a woman full of hatred, she was still quite clever in this kind of thing.

Therefore, there was no harm in listening to her.

So how could she take the initiative to attack Ren?

Gabriel felt a headache thinking about Ren's expressionless face.

Someone without expression is too unfair in this kind of situation, and it's very impossible to guess his thoughts, let alone plan an attack based on his expression.

Really, isn't there a place in this world to file a complaint?

While thinking hard about the attack plan, Gabriel quickened her pace. She wanted to get home before Ren returned.

It would be very bad if she found out that he wasn't home.

Although she didn't know what was wrong, coming home early was the right thing to do.

As soon as she arrived on the ground floor of the apartment, Gabriel saw Ren talking to a courier. There were three small boxes next to him, one of them much larger.

"You're back."

After signing for the express delivery, Ren noticed Gabriel had just returned.

"Um."

After looking towards the courier who was about to leave, Gabriel came to his side.

"The items you bought online have arrived. Why are there so many boxes? I remember, didn't you just buy a pen and two keychains?"

The pen should be one box, the two keychains should be one box, and what happened to the other box?

"There's also a game console." Ren added.

Gabriel asked anxiously, "A game console? Who bought it?"

She knew that Ren wasn't interested in game consoles, and it was very impossible for him to buy it himself.

"For you." Ren replied softly.

"For me? I never said I wanted that game... Speaking of this, I suddenly froze.

"You said it. Once upon a time, I said it when I asked what you wanted for your birthday."

Gabriel had a very good memory and remembered everything clearly, especially her belongings.
