Bab 2: Chapter 2: The Little Angel Kushida Kikyo

The bus stopped in front of the gate of the Advanced Nurturing High, and the doors slowly opened.

The students on the bus got off the bus one after another, with Ying Ye Zhenshi mixing in with the crowd, which promptly made the bus less crowded.

As soon as he got off the bus, his attention was drawn towards the huge stone gate in front of him.

The carefully carved huge stone gate was the barrier to this school.

"It's really high."

Ying Ye Zhenshi looked up.

The huge entrance gate that was like the bottomless depths of the abyss that could swallow everyone up gave him a sense for the grandeur of the school.

"This is a great academy. It's going to be great being able to study in such a school."

"We need to keep in touch more in the future,

Ying Ye-san."

Kushida Kikyo, who was beside him, continued to chat away like a little angel.

That attitude had made Ying Ye Zhenshi feel like a mature individual.

"That's right, Hanada-san. Contact me when you have the time."

Obviously, he did not leave any contact information with her, and without turning around to speak to her again, Ying Ye Zhenshi walked towards the campus, stepping beyond the gates of the abyss.

He could not wait to embark on his campus life.

"Hanada-san?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi left, leaving Kikyo Kushida tilting her head cutely, stunned in place, wondering if she had misheard just now.

After having communicated on the bus for so long, did the other party not even remember her name?

A man and a woman who got out of the bus behind her sent her weird looks, as if they had witnessed this scene and saw that the male couldn't even remember her name.

Without leaving a word and without displaying a mocking expression, he entered the campus with a neutral facial expression.

In a sense, his words and actions were in sync.

***

Ying Ye Zhenshi wanted to get to know the school first.

After receiving the notification about where he should go, Ying Ye Zhenshi successfully found his class.

"Class D of the first grade… have the allocations already been arranged?"

When he arrived at the class, there were already a few people in it.

Most of the students sat in their seats and looked at the school materials on their desks alone or were staring off into nowhere.

Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't bother with them, found the seat he was assigned and sat down, then pondered over his seat.

It was not like his seat was in the back row next to the window, which was usually the main character's seat, but the position next to the corridor of the second row.

There were cute girls sitting in the seats in front and behind him, but no one paid him any special attention.

There was no one beside him as they probably hadn't arrived yet.

In such an environment, students entered the class one after another, and the classroom gradually became full, with Kikyo Kushida being one of the new entrants.

And the other party's seat just so happened to be the empty seat next to Ying Ye Zhenshi.

As soon as she found her seat, she displayed a kind smile, beautifully colouring her looks.

"Great, Ying Ye-san, we are in the same class. I was worried that we would end up becoming strangers in different classes, so that's great."

Coming to her seat and putting down her schoolbag, Kushida Kikyo said happily.

She put her hands together and let out a sigh of relief.

It appeared as though the girl became even more relaxed because of his presence.

"Ah, what a coincidence, Noda-san."

Looking up at the girl with a big chest, Ying Ye Zhenshi also smiled.

Those who had a low EQ would have said they had only just met on the bus, and so they were still almost equal to strangers.

But boys like that would not be taken to too well.

"Ying Ye-san."

This reply directly caused Kushida Kikyo's expression to become stiff, and then she complained in her heart once again.

She also patted Ying Ye Zhenshi lightly.

"Really, you remembered it wrong again, and you are still saying a different name every time. Do you really not remember my name? You have to be joking. It's really not right to be making such a joke. It's in bad taste."

'Is it really okay to have physical contact with boys like this without caring for propriety? It seems that I have never met such a girl. Is this how high school students behave? Wow, it's amazing.'

There were ten thousand thoughts running through his mind, but Ying Ye Zhenshi remained expressionless, thinking about his classmate's name carefully and apologising.

"Ah? Did I remember it wrong? I'm sorry, my memory is not very good, so let me think about it… Shiba-san? No, don't remind me, let me think about it… Oda-san? Tian Gang? Tianxia? Yamashita? Matsushita?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi rejected Kushida Kikyo's attempts at prompting him and guessed one by one.

His voice and the words he said had already attracted the attention of others.

After all, the sight of having forgotten another person's name was really quite tragic, especially when it came to the name Matsushita.

A girl with supple, long brown hair sitting a few seats behind Kikyo looked at him unexpectedly, and then focused on their conversation.

Her name was Matsushita, and someone suddenly called out her name, which shocked her.

Strange names came out one after another, and finally, Kushida Kikyo couldn't listen to him anymore.

"Ying Ye-san, please remember that it is Kushida Kikyo. My name is not Oda Shibada. Please take note of it."

Holding Ying Ye Zhenshi's hand directly, Kushida Kikyo stared at him with teary eyes, as if she was going to cry if he didn't agree.

'Physical contact again, what on earth are your intentions here? Hanada-san? It's just a name, why do you need to care so much?'

Ying Ye Zhenshi complained in his heart.

"Oh, sorry, I see, Kushida-san. I'll remember it for next time."

While his hand was held by her soft hands, Ying Ye Zhenshi sincerely promised her.

Kushida, who was now assured, believed in Ying Ye Zhenshi's promise.

Then, Kushida Kikyo actually felt Ying Ye Zhenshi's hand which was held within her palms.

"Ying Ye-san's hands seem to be very strong. Do you exercise regularly?"

While she was talking, she made all sorts of gestures, grabbed Ying Ye Zhenshi's hand and directly clasped it in between hers, as if trying to get her fingers intertwined with his.

She seemed to be feeling the power in his palm.

'It's easy to misunderstand your intentions~.'

And this feeling made him hold back all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Sure enough, it was because of this that he couldn't remember Hanada's name this entire time, and so it was entirely her fault.

He didn't want to appear like a pervert because his hand was the one that was grabbed by the girl to play with, so Ying Ye Zhenshi explained slowly—

"Well, I'm a little interested in sports, but I am just at a so-so level, and I am part of the group of people who just play for fun."

"Then I will look for Ying Ye-Sam if I want to exercise in the future."

And this response made Kushida Kikyo smile sweetly and talk even more cutely.

As for the truth, only she knew what her true thoughts on the matter were.

The conversation between the two had attracted the attention of many students.

On the first day of having met, they talked so much, and they were even communicating in such a friendly way in the classroom, with their hands all held together.

With a handsome man and a beautiful woman doing this, the sight became even more scenic, so some of the boys were already looking at Ying Ye Zhenshi with envy, wishing to replace themselves in Ying Ye Zhenshi's position, especially the few boys behind him.

Those looks were full of interest as if they wanted to go straight up to her and shamelessly ask her to exercise with them.

Bab 3: Chapter 3: Haruki Yamauchi's Confidence / Homeroom Teacher

While they were talking, an ordinary-looking but confident boy approached them flamboyantly and directly interrupted the conversation.

"Kushida-san, Kushida-san! If you want to exercise, you can come to me too. My name is Haruki Yamauchi. I have played table tennis in the National Championships. I was the ace pitcher in the baseball club. I am recovering now, but please seek me for advice."

He appeared acquainted with her as if having listened to the conversation between the two earlier.

And while speaking, he fiddled with his hair, which seemed to make him out to be someone handsome.

Looking expectantly at Kushida Kikyo, he wanted to reach out his hand, hoping Kushida Kikyo would hold his hand too.

"Oh~~~ Yamauchi-san is so amazing."

Hearing someone approaching them to talk, Kushida Kikyo clapped her hands and turned around joyfully.

Before turning around, she squinted at Ying Ye Zhenshi, but Ying Ye Zhenshi's facial expression didn't change at all, despite Kikyo Kushida looking at Haruki Yamauchi earnestly.

But she did not shake his hand.

"I am just an average level- just a little better than someone playing for fun, Hahahaha.."

Haruki Yamauchi may not have expected his introduction to be so well received.

Under the admiration of Kushida Kikyo, he continued to utter words while carried away.

After saying this, it was obvious that the atmosphere in the class had changed.

Some people who were still talking between themselves turned their heads to look at the front of the class where Yamauchi was because what he had said was not said quietly at all.

It seemed that something interesting was about to take place.

Even the two people in the last row near the window who hadn't paid attention to this part of the class looked over.

While what he said may have sounded normal, and there may have been nothing wrong with saying it, but after Ying Ye Zhenshi had said the words he did earlier, this was obviously a stirring of the situation.

'Is this a provocation?'

"Ah? It's really too much to say such a thing. Yamauchi-san, are you targeting Ying Ye-san?"

Kushida Kikyo was surprised.

Shrinking her body, she frowned and appeared weak in the midst of their confrontation.

Her eyes were constantly swaying between the two of them.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Haruki Yamauchi insisted on his statement and doubled down on his stance with the attention of the students around him.

He also took a look at Ying Ye Zhenshi.

The sat student looked soft and tender, with his black hair reaching his ears, looking well-behaved, quite handsome and exuding the image of a good student, was about 1.75 meters, and appeared to be without a scary height and muscular definition.

Haruki Yamauchi felt that he had the upper hand in this fight for dominance.

The boy had a cliché good boy look, and it didn't look like he would mess around at all.

And the truth appeared to be the same as he thought.

Ying Ye Zhenshi was 'frightened' and dared not say a word.

He didn't even dare to look back at him.

"Look, Ying Ye has no objections. I was just telling the truth, he really only plays for fun. If Kushida-san is really interested in practising sports, you have to come and find me."

Haruki Yamauchi said proudly.

In fact, he didn't understand anything about table tennis and baseball, but this didn't prevent him from learning if need be.

At that time, it would be easy to deceive a little angel who knew nothing about the sport.

Then, he would casually become her boyfriend from that.

"Hey~~ Is that so? Ying Ye-san, is that true?"

Kushida Kikyo lengthened her surprised sound as though confused and looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi.

"That's right. It's just as Yamashita-san said, I'm just a rookie. So Oda-san and Yamashita-san should have fun practising together."

Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't care about the provocation, nor did he care about the tender little hand leaving his own, and spoke slowly.

But the two sentences he said offended the two people.

"Hey, I made it very clear just now. My name is Haruki Yamauchi! Do you have bad hearing?"

Haruki Yamauchi spoke first and appeared unfriendly, as though trying to suppress Ying Ye Zhenshi.

This made Ying Ye Zhenshi very happy.

He couldn't wait for the rattled kid to touch him.

His eyes displayed anticipation.

Haruki Yamauchi felt a strange feeling.

"And what about me? Didn't you say you remembered? My name is Kushida Kikyo."

The same was true of Kushida Kikyo next to him, and she added her piece.

She had some doubts in her heart.

'Does this Ying Ye Zhenshi like boys?'

All this while he had seemed indifferent to her presence, but all of a sudden he changed after a man came.

She actually felt that his eyes had gained a little excited edge.

It was like he was looking at some sort of beauty…

And not like he was angry about being bullied?

"Okay, Yamauchi-san, Kushida-san. I will remember for next time."

Unaware that he had become someone who liked boys in the eyes of others, Ying Ye Zhenshi looked at the two of them with sincerity in his eyes, making both of them wonder if Ying Ye Zhenshi was just fooling them.

"It's okay if you can't remember. I think you are not only bad at exercise, but your brain is probably not much better. Continuing to chat with you will probably make me stupider. Then let's arrange something soon. We have to make time to play together, Kushida Kikyo- san."

First, he mocked Ying Ye Zhenshi and then looked at Kushida Kikyo as if he was no longer interested in the boy.

This time he had referred to Kushida Kikyo by her full name.

Haruki Yamauchi was already thinking about the time when he could say her first name directly.

He even thought of the name of their first child in his fantasies.

When it came time to get married, he would need to invite the idiot Ying Ye Zhenshi.

After all, being handsome was useless, as even if girls approached your front door, these days, you would still have to use your brains to pick up girls.

Haruki Yamauchi thought very intelligently.

This was the supposed difference between the two.

"Okay."

Kushida Kikyo smiled.

This stimulated Haruki Yamauchi even more.

Haruki Yamauchi still wanted to continue to ask for her contact information, so that it would be convenient to chat with her later.

But at that moment, a person walked in from outside the room, and at the same time, the bell rang, announcing the start of school.

From first impressions, she seemed to be a very rigid and disciplined teacher.

Her age fell in the delicate limbo of being older than the students but no more in age than thirty years old.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head.

"It seems that all the students are here, so the class will now start, and everyone should return to your seats. My name is Sae Chabashira, and I'm the homeroom teacher of your class- class D. I'm usually in charge of teaching Japanese history."

Wearing a black suit with her hair tied into a long ponytail, she had people swooning over her looks.

Her facial expression was cold and expressionless, and her sacrosanct attitude gave everyone the feeling that she was a qualified teacher.

When she was talking, she looked down on the class sharply, which gave the students a special kind of pressure, which could be regarded as some sort of teachers' sense of oppression.

Under the oppression of Sae Chabashira, the students quickly returned to their seats, and even Yamauchi-san, who wanted to learn of Kushida Kikyo's contact information, meekly returned to his seat.
