Hayakawa Shiro was somewhat puzzled and turned to ask Ogata Riju.
"Fumino loves stars. She often gazes at the sky on clear nights; it's part of her daily routine,"
Rizu Ogata pushed up her glasses and said without hesitation, "That's normal, after all, Fumino studied science in order to get into the astronomy department."
"Oh, so you like stars, Guqiao."
Hayakawa Haku asked nonchalantly, "Why?"
"Actually, I've loved stars since I was a child,"
Fumino Furuhashi initially looked slightly shy, but then answered frankly, "When the weather is nice and the starry sky is beautiful, I unconsciously look up at the starry sky to find my favorite star, so I often stare at the sky in a daze like this."
The girl looked up at the boundless twilight sky and the countless glittering stars, her clear eyes sparkling as if she were immersed in a memory she would never forget.
Hayakawa Shiro: "..."
I couldn't understand a word he was saying... This guy really isn't studying hard enough; his head is full of nonsensical thoughts.
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Upon seeing Hayakawa Haku's expression, Fumino Furuhashi blushed deeply and waved her hands repeatedly, saying in embarrassment, "What nonsense am I talking about!"
"Um…"
Hayakawa Shiro didn't want to pay attention to her strange words, so she turned to look at Ogata Rizu: "Ogata, did you hear what Furuhashi said just now?"
"I did hear it."
Ogata Rizu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Then let me ask you,"
Hayakawa Shiro said expressionlessly, "What thoughts and feelings does this passage express? 4 points."
"Hey? Hey? So suddenly?"
Rizu Ogata was completely stunned, her eyes darting around like mosquito coils, and she stammered, "This...that..."
Hayakawa Shiro urged, "Hurry up and tell me, there's a time limit for the exam."
"what…"
Rizu Ogata closed her eyes and, in a fit of despair, declared, "It expresses her love for stars!"
Hayakawa Shiro's face immediately darkened, and he said with empty eyes, "Completely unreasonable, zero points."
Ogata Riju's face immediately turned ashen, and she seemed to become somewhat dejected.
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi, who was standing next to him, was speechless and said, "I think it's a perfect score."
"Hmph~"
Ogata Riju's eyes lit up, and she instantly regained her energy. She shook her head and looked up at Hayakawa, her cute little face full of smugness.
"Your opinion is useless, isn't it?"
Hayakawa Shiro turned to Furuhashi Fumino and said with dissatisfaction, "Reading comprehension questions in Japanese literature require you to figure out what the question setter is thinking, to write answers based on how the question setter will test you and what kind of answers they hope you will write. Nobody cares about what the author is really thinking. Isn't that what you usually think when you're doing reading comprehension questions?"
"No, I'm not,"
Fumino Furuhashi blinked and said matter-of-factly, "I was just thinking about what I would be thinking if I were the author and I wrote this passage, and then the answer came out naturally."
"Eh?"
Hayakawa Shiro's brows furrowed, a void forming in his heart.
At this moment, he truly felt the difference in talent. Fumino Furuhashi's level was far beyond his reach, even incomprehensible to him. This was why she could always get full marks, while he could not.
I guess Ogata feels the same way. They are both at the pinnacle of talent in their respective fields, and I can only get closer to them by summarizing exam experience through a lot of practice questions.
But it is precisely because of this gap that it is all the more worthwhile to defeat!
Emperor Hayakawa has never been weaker than anyone else in his life!
"Ok!"
After a brief period of depression, Hayakawa Shiro regained his momentum, and the flame in his heart was rekindled.
Go for it, Watashi! Yoshi! No matter how despicable the means, as long as we achieve final victory, there's absolutely no problem!
Hayakawa Shiro raised his fist and stretched out his arm toward the sky; this was his way of cheering himself on.
"What's wrong, Hayakawa-san?"
Fumino Furuhashi looked at him, her handsome face full of curiosity.
"I'm cheering myself on,"
Hayakawa Shiro smiled at her: "From tomorrow onwards, I will teach you in a more Spartan way, so be prepared."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
……
In the early hours of the morning, Hayakawa Shiro yawned as he prepared review materials for Furuhashi and the other person.
Teaching two idiots does take more of my energy, but it's not all without reward. It helps me solidify my foundation. After a few days, I found that some of the knowledge points that I thought were no problem were actually not so clear in my memory. It was a real gain.
Another point is that what the old bridge said today reminded Hayakawa Haku.
In teaching Ogata literature and Furuhashi science, I definitely have an absolute advantage and the initiative. I'm the one who's unilaterally cramming knowledge into them. But if it were the other way around, Furuhashi would be on the offensive in literature and Ogata in science, and the two of them would have a significant advantage, resulting in an overall situation where the woman is on top and the man is on the bottom.
Now it was the two of them's turn to pour it into him.
Knowledge, instilling knowledge.
Thinking about it this way, I can definitely learn something from those two people that will benefit my studies, such as their way of thinking, which will definitely be helpful to me.
And judging from their expressions, if I just ask, they definitely won't refuse to teach me. Isn't that a win-win situation?
Hayakawa Shiro couldn't help but feel a little tempted. Absorbing the enemy's strengths and then crushing them under his thumb was what he should be doing.
but…
"forget it."
Hayakawa Shiro hesitated for a long time, but still decided not to do it.
The two students' grades were really bad. It was already a struggle to teach them after school, and if they were to teach him as well, there definitely wouldn't be enough time. After all, he needed to get them some promising grades in the next monthly exam, otherwise his plan to become a "fallen genius" would be ruined.
So for now, let's focus on teaching the two of them.
"call…"
Hayakawa Shiro rubbed her eyes, feeling a little dizzy from sleepiness, but still shook her head, preparing to finish writing in her notebook before going to sleep.
The night is getting darker.
……
After finishing everything, it was already 2:30 a.m. Hayakawa Shiro yawned and was about to go to sleep when she glanced at her phone and realized that she had received a message from Furuhashi.
Furuhashi: I'm sorry, Hayakawa-kun, I said something weird to you today! ∑ (′△`)? ! I hope you don't mind!!
Furuhashi: But... that was the starting point of my dream. I want to live a life connected with the stars in the future. To achieve that, I must pass the science university entrance exam. So no matter how many difficulties I face, I will definitely overcome them and then formally study astronomy!
Guqiao: This is my motivation and reason for studying science. I felt I should tell you, my advisor, why I sent you this message so late at night. I hope it doesn't bother you (┯_┯)…
Ancient Bridge: Ahhh... It's still so strange, all children's stories. You should just forget about them!
"..."
Hayakawa Shiro stared blankly at the chat screen: "Too many emojis, so annoying."
When Fumino Furuhashi chats, she always likes to send emoticons and cute emojis, just like her personality, with a very rich range of expressions.
After thinking for a moment, Hayakawa Shiro still replied.
"Keep going, I'll make sure you get into a science university."
And then my liberal arts grades will plummet, hehehe~
After typing out the sentence word by word and sending it, Hayakawa Shiro revealed a malicious smile, then lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
In his dream, he and Gu Qiao sat on an endless grassland, gazing up at the vast starry sky.
……
Another drowsy day.
Hayakawa Shiro, sporting dark circles under her eyes, was slumped over in the classroom, half-asleep, when a commotion suddenly erupted at the back door.
"Look, there he is!"
"Isn't that Sleeping Beauty from the Literature Forest in Class 1?"
"Fumino Furuhashi is here. What's she doing in our class?"
Hayakawa Shiro was puzzled when he heard the name Furuhashi. He propped himself up and looked towards the back door, only to see Furuhashi Fumino being blocked by several boys at the back door and being enthusiastically flirted with. Furuhashi looked embarrassed, her expression resembling that of someone being interrogated or even tortured.
"What is she doing there...?"
Hayakawa Shiro watched this scene with an air of nonchalance, showing no intention of going over to help her out.
However, it was still discovered.
"Sorry sorry~"
Fumino Furuhashi stood at the back door, blocking her view with her hand, and chuckled awkwardly as she scanned the classroom, saying, "I'm looking for your class's..."
As they were talking, Fumino Furuhashi saw Hayakawa Shiro looking at her with amusement, and her face immediately darkened, her anger rising.
"Excuse me, could you move aside?"
Without hesitation, Fumino Furuhashi bypassed the two unfamiliar male classmates who wanted to invite her to karaoke and walked a few steps to stand in front of Shiro Hayakawa.
"what?"
Hayakawa Shiro looked a little bewildered and asked a question subconsciously, only to have her wrist grabbed by Fumino Furuhashi a moment later.
"Come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Fumino Furuhashi said something that left no room for refusal, and then pulled the bewildered Haku Hayakawa out the door in full view of everyone.
"Hey?!"
Before Hayakawa finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the classroom, leaving only an extremely quiet classroom behind him.
A few seconds later, the classroom was filled with a commotion, and it was clear that a wave of rumors would soon sweep through the entire grade and even the entire school.
……
“tang~”
Hayakawa Haku was led to a deserted corner of the corridor by Fumino Furuhashi. Before he could react, Fumino pinned Hayakawa Haku against the wall without saying a word.
"What do you want to do?"
Hayakawa Shiro looked at Furuhashi Fumino, whose posture and expression were full of pressure, and felt a little scared. After all, Furuhashi was a small fry that he could easily bully and manipulate in front of him before. Now, the contrast was that the small fry had actually "thumped" him, which made Hayakawa Shiro feel very unfamiliar.
"Hayakawa-san..."
Fumino Furuhashi maintained the "thump" position on Hayakawa with one hand, clearly to prevent him from escaping, while taking out her phone from her school uniform pocket with her other hand and smiling as she said, "Could you please explain this to me?"
She showed her phone screen to Hayakawa Shiro. Hayakawa glanced at it and saw the chat interface where Furuhashi had sent her a message yesterday, with her reply at the very bottom.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa Haku didn't understand and looked up, asking, "What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you..."
Fumino Furuhashi still had that gentle smile that said, "Explain yourself to me," and asked, "Why are you replying to my messages so late?"
