The reasons they gave were so elaborate, almost like a story, and it was all so strange. It was unbelievable that someone could learn so well. No matter how listless I was, as long as I had a set of math problems in front of me, I would immediately become energetic.
Perhaps it's precisely because she has absolutely no talent in science that her literature grades are so good; she's focused too much on one subject and neglected another.
Hayakawa silently watched Fumino Furuhashi's pitiful expression and couldn't help but think: If I had focused on one subject like she and Ogata, I might have far fewer worries now.
But they are themselves, and I am myself. The three are different people. Even if they are better than me, it doesn't mean I have to imitate them or be a poor copycat.
Hayakawa believed in himself, in his hard work and perseverance, and that one day he would make them admit defeat through his own hard work.
However, before doing this again, we need to teach them well first.
"Alright, pat your face to wake up, I'll continue."
Hayakawa withdrew his gaze and returned to his own question, while simultaneously pardoning Furuhashi Fumino's crime.
"Okay...ok."
Gu Wuyao [Ba Qiuqi Liuqiao patted his face hard with both hands, and suddenly his eyes lit up.]
The two studied for a while, and Ogata Rizu, who was a little late, rushed over and said as she put down her schoolbag, "Sorry I'm late."
"It's okay, we've only been learning for a short time."
Fumino Furuhashi smiled and said something, but when she saw Rizu Ogata, her eyes suddenly lit up and she exclaimed, "Rizu-chan, you have a new hair clip today! It's so cute!"
"Yes, it has indeed been changed..."
Ogata Riju blushed slightly and awkwardly touched the hair clip on her head, which had an orange tangerine on it.
Hayakawa glanced at it from the side, his expression unchanged.
Oh, you changed your hair clip, I see.
Speaking of which, Ogata used to wear hair clips too. I always thought she just had a simple, refreshing short hairstyle.
Hayakawa was lost in thought when he noticed Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu watching him. Furuhashi's gaze held a hint of reproach and a reminder, while Ogata...
Hayakawa looked confused, not understanding why the two people were suddenly staring at him.
"Cough cough..."
Fumino Furuhashi coughed twice, but saw that Hayakawa still had an indifferent expression. Suppressing her annoyance and helplessness, she leaned closer to Hayakawa and whispered, "Hayakawa-kun, say something, like your opinion or something."
Evaluation? (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial question.)
Hayakawa frowned slightly, realizing that Furuhashi wanted him to comment on Ogata Riju's new hair clip. However, this was too difficult for him. Hayakawa had never even heard that Ogata Riju was wearing a hair clip before, and he didn't remember what color her hair clips were before. He didn't even have a comparison point to make a comment.
"Um…"
Hayakawa watched as Ogata hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Very cute."
Zero points! Zero points!
No matter how you look at it, it's a zero!
Fumino Furuhashi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and gripped her pen tightly.
You hopeless blockhead! Stone Buddha! Bank vault door! Would it kill you to give me a few more compliments? Besides, this evaluation is so strange, it sounds like a perfunctory response.
Xiao Li rarely dresses up, and she was looking forward to you noticing and praising her. But not only did you not notice right away, you also gave her this kind of feedback. If she heard it herself, she would definitely be very sad and would definitely show that awkward and forced smile!
Where's Ri-chan?
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Rizu Ogata with some concern, only to find the science-loving girl's face flushed red, her head bowed as she looked down at the ground, her voice barely audible as she said, "Thanks..."
The effect was surprisingly remarkable…
Fumino Furuhashi silently held her forehead; she could no longer understand what was happening before her. Perhaps it was wrong to try to restrain abnormal people like Hayakawa and Oori with common sense.
"It's nice to have your hair up too."
Hayakawa thought for a moment and said, "This way, it saves time on daily grooming, won't block my eyes, and makes eating and studying more convenient."
Rizu Ogata nodded in agreement: "You're right, it does look more natural to comb it."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
Ah, I think I'll continue studying.
……
The sun had already set in the west, and the day's school life had come to an end. Looking out of the classroom window, I could see club members running and sweating on the playground, as well as the thrifty homebodies leaving the school gate in twos and threes, preparing to take the tram home.
The huge shadow of the teaching building hung down, dividing them into two groups. The shadowy corner and the sunny corner were clearly distinct at this moment, one exuding youthful energy and the other serene tranquility. It was hard to say which was better.
Yotsuba sat on her chair, resting her chin on her hand, enjoying the cool breeze. Her seat in the classroom was in the back row by the window, which suited her status; underachievers weren't allowed to sit in the front row.
She didn't participate in the club activity today because she had other things to do.
"Excuse me, Yotsuba."
In the empty classroom, the back door suddenly opened, and the gentle older sister, Ichika, pushed the door open and walked in, apologizing as she walked to Yotsuba's side and said, "Let's go."
"Ah."
Yotsuba nodded gently, picked up her schoolbag, and followed Ichika.
She seemed a little down, unlike her usual energetic self.
Chapter 443 Sir?
As for the reason for her low spirits, that's naturally...
My best friend is next to me.
I'm talking about Yotsuba.
Ichika had been acting normally until the two of them had only gone downstairs a few steps when she suddenly tilted her head and leaned close to Yotsuba, staring intently at her and asking, "Last night at the Hayakawa house, did anything inappropriate happen between us?"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba immediately put on a look of utter despair and said weakly, "How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? I've already told you that nothing happened between us. I'm still a high school student, how could I possibly do that kind of thing? And there were no protection measures, so it's even more impossible. Please believe me, Ichika."
Upon hearing this, Ichika's questioning expression softened, and she nodded slightly: "That is indeed the case."
She withdrew her gaze, stopped asking questions, and continued walking forward.
However, as soon as she reached the next floor, Ichika stopped in her tracks.
"Yotsuba, is it possible that you didn't realize it, but it has already happened?"
Ichika turned to look at Yotsuba, her gaze returning to its previous undisguised observation: "For example, when you're fast asleep, Hayakawa quietly pounces on you and pulls you off..."
Am I an idiot?
Yotsuba's face turned bright red, both embarrassed and annoyed: "How soundly do you have to be asleep to not wake up when someone pounces on you? Do you think it's always you? Even if Ichika can't get up in the morning, I'll wake her up if I call her, okay? I've already said no, and that's it. I'm still a virgin."
"That's true..."
Ichika silently withdrew her gaze and said, "You're right, I believe you."
"You really won't ask again, right?"
Yotsuba looked at her older sister warily, as if guarding against a thief, and said, "You've asked me countless times since this morning, and I've answered you countless times. Now that school's over, you're still asking. How am I supposed to explain this to you before you believe me?"
As she spoke, Yotsuba's expression turned somewhat broken. Being interrogated about such private matters for an entire day was almost unbearable, even for a little angel.
"I'm sorry, Yotsuba."
After hearing Yotsuba's heartfelt dissatisfaction, Ichika couldn't help but feel ashamed and nodded slightly: "I won't ask you again."
"That's good."
Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled. Her steps became lighter as she walked towards the school gate downstairs: "Let's hurry up, we need to get to the confectionery shop early to queue up."
"Well, you're right."
Ichika smiled too, and the two seemed to have become the sisters they used to be, trusting and relying on each other.
Two minutes later.
"I'm talking about Yotsuba..."
“So annoying!!!”
……
Seriously! Ichika is simply...
Yotsuba puffed out her pink cheeks and left the school gate without looking back, followed by Ichika who chased after her relentlessly, wanting to apologize.
I've been asking myself and Hayakawa nonstop since this morning. I've told you nothing happened, but you still don't believe me. I just have to ask.
Thinking of this, Yotsuba couldn't help but recall what had happened between her and Hayakawa the night before, and her expression suddenly turned guilty.
Well... since nothing actually happened in the end, it's not exactly a lie to say that nothing happened.
Furthermore, I had already explained, despite my embarrassment, that there were no safety measures at Hayakawa's house, so nothing like this would happen, yet Ichika still doubted it, which is wrong of her.
Yotsuba lightly bit her pink lips and went to the wagashi shop near the school gate to queue up, only to find that there weren't many people queuing up today, or rather, there was practically no one queuing at all.
"What happened? Where did they go?"
Yotsuba looked at the shop entrance with some confusion, then after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized, "Could it be that this Japanese sweets shop has been converted into a tatami shop?"
"No, that's not it! What are you thinking!"
Ichika arrived just then and was speechless after hearing what her younger sister said. Sometimes she really couldn't understand how Yotsuba's little brain worked.
"Oh? What's the reason for that?"
Yotsuba turned to look at Ichika, but her face was cold, clearly still angry with her.
"It's normal that there's no queue today."
Ichika revealed a profound and inscrutable expression: "Didn't you notice that a lot of students went straight home after school today?"
Yotsuba was taken aback by his words, and after thinking about it carefully, she said with some surprise, "That's right, why?"
"Because Mr. Peanut, the celebrity, will be premiering on our platform at 5:30 today,"
Ichika smiled and said, "So many people want to rush back to watch his live stream, and the number of people in line is shorter."
"Mr. Peanut...?"
Yotsuba looked puzzled: "Who is this person?"
"Huh? You don't recognize Mr. Peanut?"
Upon hearing this, Ichika's eyes widened immediately: "Unbelievable! Are you an idiot?"
Yotsuba's face was expressionless, her voice hollow: "Why am I called an idiot just because I don't know someone... Fine, just tell me who this person is."
"There's a really famous comedian on TV Tokyo lately,"
Ichika smiled and said, "It's very popular among young people right now. Nino and the others went back early so they could catch his live stream, so I'm the only one who's staying here to buy desserts with you."
"Never heard of it..."
Clover looked at Yi Hua with a strange expression and asked, "Then why don't you go back and check?"
"my words…"
Yihua smiled slightly, twirling her fingers through her short pink hair, revealing a dismissive expression: "You're an adult now, you're not interested in things that only children like."
"I see."
Yotsuba nodded calmly, but inwardly she wanted to laugh.
In the past, when she heard Ichika make such mature remarks, she was somewhat envious, envious that she could not become a mature, generous, and charming beauty like Ichika.
But after what happened with Yotsuba last night, all I can do now is sneer.
"Sir? What are you bragging about!"
Have you ever kissed someone you like? Have you ever lain on the same bed with a guy and been pinned down? Have you ever seen him naked? No, you haven't!
She's just a nobody with zero experience, yet she dares to call herself an adult. It's utterly laughable.
Things are different now than before, and I am now above you!
Hahaha
Yotsuba maintained a calm expression on the surface, but inwardly he was laughing wildly, looking down at Ichika like a giant.
Ichika, clearly unaware that Yotsuba had completely underestimated her, was still smiling and trying to appease her: "Of course, the main purpose is definitely to keep my lovely little sister company so she doesn't have to go home alone."
As she spoke, she reached out to ruffle Yotsuba's bob haircut.
Yotsuba showed no emotion whatsoever, silently turning her head away and saying, "Who do you think these desserts are for? They're for you guys."
