Chương 10: Chapter 10 A Good Person

After his morning run, Fang Li returned to his dormitory room, changed into his regular clothes, took a cold shower, and put on his uniform before heading to the classroom. By the time he arrived, many students were already there, chatting away.

Fang Li paid no attention to anyone else as he entered the classroom. The students were all familiar with one another and seemed to be enjoying each other's company. The only one who appeared to be alone was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who sat slouched in his seat, gazing blankly at the other students.

Fang Li approached him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka slowly turned his head to look at Fang Li and replied in a dull voice, "Nanaya? I'm hesitant to go up and talk to others."

Fang Li couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. Wasn't this the same situation he had witnessed on the bus and in the classroom yesterday?

"In that case, why don't you talk?" Fang Li suggested.

"...I can't seem to learn the skill of being calm and casual," Ayanokouji Kiyotaka admitted. "I don't have the courage to make friends."

Fang Li asked, "Are you afraid of making friends?"

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka replied, "I guess my social skills are equal to my age."

The conversation between Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Fang Li was a sad one, and Fang Li soon fell silent. "Well, then you'll just have to work hard at it," he said, hoping to end the conversation before it could inflict any more damage on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's heart. With that, Fang Li took his seat in the classroom.

At this time...

"Hello there," a very pleasant voice introduced itself into Fang Li's ear, causing him to raise his head and look in front of his seat. A young girl had approached him.

"Do you still remember me?" she asked.

She had brown, straight hair that fell just below her shoulders, and she exuded a gentle aura that was approachable and friendly. Her face was full of cheerfulness, making her seem like a cute and lively girl.

Looking at her, Fang Li felt somewhat awkward, as he recognized her. "You're Kushida Kikyou-san?" he asked.

She was the same girl who had helped an old woman on the bus just yesterday, displaying her gentle and kind nature.

Kushida Kikyou was delighted that Fang Li remembered her, and she put her hand gently in front of her, smiling widely. "Great! You remembered me!" she said.

Her happiness was palpable, and it made her face look even more attractive. The boys in the class couldn't help but send her love-filled glances.

Even Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was silently observing the situation.

It was clear that Kushida Kikyou was destined to become the queen of popularity in this class and possibly even in the school.

Despite being so popular, she approached Fang Li graciously and with an unsuspecting demeanor.

"Please call me Kushida. It's kind of weird to say 'Miss (-san)'," she said with a cute laugh.

Fang Li had his doubts, but he was also the type of person who could read people well.

He didn't think that his charm would be enough to attract the attention of such a popular and cute girl, so he was curious about her motives.

it seemed there was only one possibility for Kushida Kikyou's sudden appearance.

Unfortunately for Fang Li, he guessed wrong.

Kushida Kikyou looked down with a shy expression that reminded him of a girl in the springtime of her youth who was about to confess her feelings. This made the boys around her shift uncomfortably, some even looked like they were about to rush over. However, they were stopped by those beside them.

Undeterred, Kushida Kikyou gathered her courage.

"I actually wanted to talk to you yesterday, but after Chabashira-sensei left, Nanaya-san disappeared from the classroom and didn't attend the opening ceremony. I've been waiting to talk to you ever since."

Her charming face turned reddish as she gazed at Fang Li with a determined look.

"So, can I ask you to be friends with me?"

This popular and cute girl not only took the initiative to approach Fang Li but also requested to become his friend.

"Don't stare at me like that. Actually, my wish is to be friends with everyone in this school," Kushida Kikyou said with embarrassment and sincerity.

"Can you help me fulfill my wish?"

Wasn't this just a straightforward question?

Looking around, the boys understood the situation and were now captivated by Kushida Kikyou's plucky request. They waited for their turn to talk to her.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was observing the scene, unsure whether he was envious or not. He couldn't tell if the boys who envied Fang Li's handsomeness were jealous that someone had taken the initiative to make friends with him, or if they envied Fang Li for being the one whom Kushida Kikyou had chosen to approach.

It was clear that Kushida Kikyou had made many friends in their class yesterday and had captured the hearts of all the boys and girls.

Fang Li had to admit that Kushida Kikyou was very charming. Not only did she look sweet and cute, but she also had a positive personality and was well-endowed, with a plump chest that was very appealing.

He could even predict that she would soon receive many love letters and confessions from boys.

Despite the attention from boys and girls in the class, Fang Li had to admit that Kushida Kikyou was very charming, and it would be difficult for any boy to refuse her request to be friends.

Unfortunately, Fang Li was not one of these boys.

"Why do you want to be friends with everyone?" Fang Li asked Kushida Kikyou, still puzzled. "Was it necessary to look for me since yesterday?"

Considering Fang Li's lackluster performance in yesterday's class, only Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Horikita Suzune were likely to remember him.

Kushida Kikyou was reminiscing about Fang Li's behavior from yesterday, and Fang Li could only think of one possibility.

Kushida Kikyou's following words confirmed Fang Li's suspicion.

"On the bus yesterday, only Nanaya-san offered a seat to that elderly lady, right?" Kushida Kikyou tilted her head and smiled happily. "Since then, I have wanted to become friends with Nanaya-san."

In other words, is Kushida Kikyou implying that Fang Li is easy to get along with?

"Nanaya-san seems like a good person," she added.

Fang Li had unwittingly earned the title of "good person" in Kushida Kikyou's eyes.
