After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back

Chapter 162 Chiyoko Ayakoji's Self-Disclosure

Kohinata Motoyo didn't persist too much and stopped, just as he wished.

This was the greatest comfort to Kagura Hikaru.

After they broke up, she even sent a text message to explain that the photo Kagura Hikaru initially deleted from his phone was the only backup she had; she didn't have any other copies.

In other words, the so-called backup was actually just a lie.

Keeping a backup was risky for Motoyo as well.

As Kagura Hikaru had said, the photo was leverage over Kagura Hikaru but was equally so over Motoyo.

If it were to be leaked, it would only be detrimental to her and not beneficial at all.

Kagura Hikaru's eyes were blinded by Kohinata Motoyo's frighteningly pure mind-reading content, while Ai Cheng Hua Lian and Ayakoji Chiyoko were temporarily confused due to their lack of understanding of Kohinata Motoyo's nature; they all failed to notice this at first.

Fortunately, Kagura Hikaru eventually woke up to the truth and also managed to break up smoothly.

However, the mental pressure he thought would decrease didn't actually decrease, but rather unexpectedly increased.

But that's another story. Right now, he was still immersed in the relief of the successful breakup.

Having resolved the issue with Kohinata Motoyo, Kagura Hikaru then focused on the Student Council election matters.

The final voting for the election had started, today was the first day, and it would go on for three days.

Since the data was not publicized, all the candidates had no idea how many votes they had or who was in the lead, so they all tried their best to campaign for votes.

The school also provided them with some conveniences, allowing election candidates to give their last speech in the auditorium.

During lunchtime, students from all grades gathered in the school auditorium once again.

The sequence for the speeches remained the same as before, decided by lot.

This time, Kiryu Hina also went before Ayakoji Chiyoko, delivering an excellent speech on changing the school's atmosphere, with stories students were concerned about, and kept her style humorous without losing the sense of Rinran, showing signs of coming back into form.

When she stepped down, the warmth of the applause from the audience made Kagura Hikaru feel a bit anxious.

Especially since Ayakoji Chiyoko, who was up next to give her speech, didn't have this speech script pass through his hands this time.

Since he had been tightly wound up by Kohinata Motoyo, the second speech script he had planned to write for Ayakoji Chiyoko was delayed due to a lack of communication between them.

Seeing that there was not enough time, Kagura had no choice but to give her a half-finished draft and let her complete the rest depending on the situation.

Around Ayakoji Chiyoko were mostly brawny Discipline Committee members; there were few among them who had literary talent, and it was questionable whether she could finish it smoothly on her own.

People always judge by first impressions. Today was the first day of voting for the Student Council election. If Ayakoji Chiyoko made a weaker impression on the students than Kiryu Hina, even if she had a prior advantage, it could still be overturned.

If that happened, all their efforts over the past half-year would have been in vain.

So please, Ayakoji, don't mess this up at such a crucial time!

After Kiryu Hina stepped down with a wave, Ayakoji Chiyoko followed closely, marching confidently onto the stage.

She came to the podium and proceeded with her speech according to plan.

She talked about her illustrious achievements as the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee and also about her plan to lift the ban on school dating. Generally speaking, even though there were some occasional highlights, her speech seemed quite ordinary compared to Kiryu Hina's.

As Kagura Hikaru overheard other students chatting about games, showing no interest in the speech on stage, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern.

He was already thinking about how to regain the lost popularity through other methods.

However, he could never have imagined that Ayakoji Chiyoko would recapture everyone's attention in a way he had never considered.

"...School bullying, a topic that everyone is probably tired of hearing about by now. Yes, it's a major problem that can occur in any school, in any class, and it's unavoidable. To date, no school has been able to come up with the best solution to this issue. Teachers can't intervene, and the voices of those being bullied are weak and often drowned out in a sea of noise."

Ayakoji Chiyoko's tone became more serious, her voice louder, momentarily drawing the attention of the audience below.

Then she took a deep breath and revealed something explosive enough to shake the entire school auditorium:

"I am no exception; I have also experienced school bullying."

That statement brought a swift silence to the audience.

The crowd stared at Ayakoji Chiyoko on stage, dumbfounded.

Ayakoji Chiyoko was bullied?

The former Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, who was perceived as unfeeling and cold??

Even the Discipline Committee members, who were closest to her, were stunned, their pupils trembling.

They were even more shocked than the ordinary students.

The strong, dominant image Ayakoji Chiyoko usually portrayed was so deeply entrenched in people's minds that it was extremely difficult to associate her with the nodding yes-men who were bullied. It was more conceivable that she was the bully than the one being bullied.

Even Kagura Hikaru was in shock along with everyone else.

He had never imagined that Ayakoji Chiyoko had been bullied, nor did he think that she would reveal such a thing at this moment.

This was almost like speaking in front of the entire student body.

For the usually proud and high self-esteemed Ayakoji Chiyoko, this would have been unthinkable before.

The air was silent for several seconds.

Then came the eruption as the murmurs from the audience instantly grew more than twice as loud.

"What's going on, eh? President Ayakoji?"

"No way, THAT Ayakoji Chiyoko could be bullied...?"

"No, no, no, she said it herself, it must be true!"

"She might just be acting for her speech, right?"

"If it's that person, it's possible. After all, she's the daughter of an actress."

"Don't joke around. How could President Ayakoji lie! And spread such an image-damaging lie at that!"

"Exactly, exactly."

"....."

For a moment, countless thoughts swirled above the auditorium.

Everyone was so shocked by Ayakoji Chiyoko's words that they couldn't think straight.

Among them, there was one person who stood apart.

"That girl, she's really desperate, huh... is she so eager for this position...?"

Kiryu Hina watched the expressionless Ayakoji Chiyoko on stage with interest, then turned her gaze to Kagura Hikaru sitting not far away, whose face still held traces of shock, "Or is it for someone's sake that she's trying so hard to change herself. Heh, how interesting."

"What are you laughing at, Hina?"

A fragrant breeze and a gentle voice came from beside her.

Kohinata Motoyo had somehow come to sit beside her unnoticed, smiling at her.
