Ying Ye Zhenshi was not in any group chats with the other guys in his class.
No matter whether it be the girls or boys, all considered him a loner and left him alone.
Part of the reason was that he himself had missed the window to make friends and isolated himself, but besides that, having learned about the dire situation his classmates would find themselves in, he didn't really want to associate with them anymore.
So it was normal for him to be excluded from all the circles.
And he would never be included in the girl's circles, even if he tried to break in with a butcher's knife.
There was one group chat Ying Ye Zhenshi was a part of, which had more than 30 people in it, and which Kikyo Kushida had dragged him into.
There was very little substance to the chat though, and few people even talked in it.
Most students were used to chatting in private messages or making small group chats and interacting in that way.
Based on what he had heard in the past week or so, there were probably about 20-30 small group chats in the class despite there only being 40 students in the class.
"Hey, what are you planning to do Ying Ye-san? Do you really not want to communicate with your classmates? I can help you out and go with you if need be! Let's make friends together."
While Ying Ye Zhenshi was still looking at the excited group of boys in the corner, Kushida Kikyo approached him and whispered.
And as if to intrude upon Ying Ye Zhenshi's personal space, she got up very close while her voice was kept very low, making Ying Ye Zhenshi feel that as long as he moved, his face would be kissed by her.
While she was whispering, a burst of hot air landed on his face.
On top of that, the girl's fragrance was very strong.
"No need, Noda-san."
Trying to shoo her away by using the wrong name, Ying Ye Zhenshi bluntly tried to drive this female classmate of his away.
He didn't know where she got this much courage and enthusiasm to get up so close to him.
"Are you really, really sure? I can ask Ike-san to come and invite you."
Already accustomed to being referred to by the wrong name, Kushida Kikyo remained calm.
Now, she could accept any name he threw her way.
"No."
Ying Ye Zhenshi refused without hesitation.
But obviously, this attempt at refusal was useless, and the girl didn't stop with his refusal.
When the first lesson of the day was over, Ike Kanji from the back of the class approached Ying Ye Zhenshi.
He discretely glanced at the girl beside Ying Ye Zhenshi, and then spoke softly to the loner.
"Ying Ye, I have set up a small group with the other guys. We are discussing some important things today which will be relevant to you, so let me add you to it."
His tone was very direct as if he never once thought the person he was offering to add to the group would refuse, giving the boy in question the feeling of being a recipient of some charitable act.
Ying Ye Zhenshi looked at Kushida Kikyo.
He noticed a slight smile in the girl's eyes, and her fists clenched while pumping them in the air as if in a cheering gesture.
"That's what Kushida-san said at least. Since we're all classmates too, we should play together, you know? The main reason I haven't approached you before is that there are too many girls sitting around you. I didn't really want to come here and invite you, and you have been sitting in your seat all this time as well, otherwise I would have invited you."
Ike Kanji spoke quickly with a hushed voice.
His tone sounded a little impatient, and he fidgeted as though a little uncomfortable just standing where he was.
After all, he was surrounded by girls.
Right now, he just wanted to return to his friendship circle as quickly as he could
"Oh…"
Responding calmly, Ying Ye Zhenshi was actually quite curious about what they were discussing so animatedly.
So, he agreed to join the group.
Ike Kanji didn't stick around him for too long and ran away right after adding Ying Ye Zhenshi to the group chat.
Watching the boy run away, for a split second, Ying Ye Zhenshi wondered if he had been too prejudiced against his classmates, especially the guys.
But after joining the group chat, the thought instantly disappeared.
'Sure enough, some people just aren't suited to be holding a lot of points.'
He quickly scanned through the chat log in the group.
An announcement text in bold had been posted the previous night, and the group had also been created a few minutes before the announcement was made.
[Welcome, Ying Ye.]
[With Ying Ye in the chat, we've become a bigger group now.]
[Are you going to place bets too?]
[Just so you know, there's going to be swimming lessons coming up, and we're going to be making a leaderboard of the girls with boob sizes from our class.]
[Take some pictures with your phone beforehand if you get the chance.]
After a quick sift through the group chat messages, Ying Ye Zhenshi had already understood the situation.
'No wonder they are so hyper this morning. They really are just a bunch of fools. It's like their heads are just full of boobs and asses or whatever!'
Going through the texts after the announcement, they had already planned to have a classmate given the moniker 'Doctor' pretend to be sick, and then have him observe and take pictures of the girls in their swimsuits.
Later, someone would set up a ranking document and a leaderboard would be established.
There was a clear division of labour and teamwork in all this nonsense.
They were even planning to arrange some work for Ying Ye Zhenshi, to have him become an accomplice.
Although some of the boys expressed that they did not agree with the plan, feeling that doing such a thing was not very friendly, more boys were excited, and so this momentum could not be stopped.
It was worth mentioning that Hirata-san seemed to have been excluded from the boy's circles, so he wasn't in the group chat.
Besides him, there was another outlier like Kouenji Rokusuke who wasn't in the group.
Of course, if it hadn't been for Kushida Kikyo, Ying Ye Zhenshi would also have been excluded from the plan.
As for the other boys—
[So what do you think of all this?]
[Ying Ye should be going through the chat history right now.]
[Make sure you go through everything and read it all properly.]
[There is also an odds table near the bottom.]
In the group chat, the individuals referred to as the Doctor sent an Excel file.
The names of all the girls in the class were listed on it, and there were odds beside each one.
Having him interact with the file was so that they could assimilate Ying Ye Zhenshi into the plan.
'…'
The current favourite in the charts for the biggest boobs was a girl called Haruka Hasebe.
She had odds of 1.8. [55.55%]
Ying Ye Zhenshi had heard the name Haruka Hasebe before.
His gaze inadvertently went towards Haruka Hasebe when he noticed the odds.
She was a girl with long blue hair, and she was honestly quite beautiful.
There was a small tear mole under her eye, which added a bit of a charming aspect to her looks, and she was very well-endowed with an average height.
'No wonder she had been ranked first by the boys.'
It was important to note that this particular girl was one of the withdrawn, reticent members of the class.
Despite that being the case, no pretty girl would be considered unpopular or shunned by the rest of the class.
One could tell from that alone, that she was indeed very cute.
