章節 52: Chapter 52: Enamoured by Kei? / The Student Council Prez Is Also A Flawed Product?
"Hey~ Wasn't that strange?"
He received a not-so-unexpected friendly greeting.
"What was so strange?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi played dumb.
"That atmosphere. Weren't you just observing Horikita-san, Karuizawa-san and the others? Karuizawa-san has suddenly become fond of studying, and not only is she asking for advice from Horikita-san, but also all the other high-achieving boys and girls in the class. Oh, and she often copies their class notes and shares them with her friends. This all happened after she confessed to you..."
Kushida Kikyo was very surprised.
This had been the case ever since Kei Karuizawa had asked for leave before, and definitely after having asked her for Ying Ye Zhenshi's number.
So, she suspected these two matters were related.
But since asking Karuizawa Kei had not bore fruit, she had to ask the other party to find out what was going on.
"Wanting to learn is a good thing."
Ying Ye Zhenshi replied straightforwardly.
Naturally, he knew that the girl in question had been working hard recently, as when he had taken leave from classes out of laziness, Karuizawa had sent him the class notes every day.
And nearly every day, she would eat and study with him while exchanging lesson points.
"That's obviously a good thing, but I am sure it's because of you. Karuizawa-san was looking for you back then, so what happened? Can you tell me? Hey, I helped you get in touch with her... So tell me~"
Kushida Kikyo held his hands with both hands as if she was really curious.
Her doe-eyed teary eyes made it hard to refuse.
At this moment, Ike and the others sitting in the back row wanted to come up and push Ying Ye Zhenshi out of the way so that they could switch positions with him.
"I have nothing to say. You should ask Karuizawa-san about this."
Ying Ye Zhenshi denied her guesses one after another.
"Ah~ Sure enough, something happened. Would you tell me in a private setting? I promise not to tell others. Also, you seem to be fine with calling her by the correct name. Obviously, you seem to somehow remember her name and not mine, or else you wouldn't say my name wrong all the time. That's not fair."
Kushida Kikyo complained.
'Whether it be meeting, talking, making friends, and exchanging numbers, obviously it was me who did all those with him first! Why does he say other people's names correctly then? Does he have a thing for blonde girls? Or has he just become infatuated with 'Kei'? It seems that only a person with Kei [Meaning favour/benefit] in their name will be the winner at the end of the day.'
"Nothing happened between us. Just ask her directly."
Ying Ye Zhenshi naturally wouldn't say much more on the matter surrounding Karuizawa.
Kushida Kikyo could only pout and return to her seat in vain.
And in such an atmosphere, as the lessons proceeded, Ying Ye Zhenshi stuck around until the lunch break.
And without giving Kushida Kikyo any time to intercept him, he quickly got up and left the classroom after sensei left.
"..."
Kushida Kikyo stared at his retreating figure blankly with her fists already clenched.
If Ying Ye Zhenshi hadn't run away so fast, she would have wanted to go over to him and punch him with a *Bang Bang Bang*.
In the end, she just put down the textbook in her hand.
She wanted to invite the boy to have lunch with her.
'But after probably guessing the situation, did he just run away? What kind of scourge does he think I have on me?'
It made her a little suspicious of the realities of life, and she considered going to the toilets to have a look at herself in the mirror.
And in the cafeteria, someone was treating a guest to lunch today.
On his way to class that morning, Ying Ye had received an invitation to lunch from Horikita Manabu.
Due to the low-calorie, light meals he had to eat quite a few times in the hospital, Ying Ye Zhenshi had unceremoniously ordered the high-calorie lunch option.
And Horikita Manabu footed the bill without hesitation.
"I've learned more about you from being able to order this meal set."
His mouth chewed on the meat, as he politely offered his thanks.
"Yes. Anyway, your membership has been finalised. From today onwards, you are a member of the student council, and points will be added to your student ID from next month."
Horikita Manabu remained very calm.
Allowing Ying Ye to purchase this 'little' amount of food was nothing to him, so he directly moved on to what he came to tell him.
"Is this going to be specially announced on the loudspeakers?"
When he was told about his membership, Ying Ye Zhenshi suddenly recalled the fact that important announcements were broadcasted to everyone in the school. Until now, his membership had not been finalised, so this concern of his hadn't crossed his mind.
And regarding the points compensation from the second-year students, he had already received them the day after the negotiation, probably because Nagumo hadn't wanted to drag the matter on any longer.
"That's not too big of a deal, we'll go with your wishes. But I have something else to trouble you about."
Horikita looked at Ying Ye Zhenshi who had already finished eating by then.
"Another matter?"
Ying Ye Zhenshi was thinking about whether to spit out the food Manabu had bought for him.
"My younger sister is also a student in class D in the first year."
Horikita spoke frankly.
"Your sister? Oh~ Is it that Horikita Suzune? So you want me to take care of her? That's impossible. Firstly, I am not very popular in my class, and when next month rolls around, everyone in the class will probably call for me to drop out."
Ying Ye Zhenshi thought of the cold and beautiful girl who sat at the back of the class and replied honestly, with a very frank refusal.
"No no. You don't need to take care of her."
What Horikita Manabu would really have wanted to ask was if he would at least not bully her.
But thinking of his own troubles, he decided to tell Ying Ye of the matter he had in mind.
"I am hoping you can find an opportunity to somehow humiliate her next month. I want you to make her understand the difference between even students in the same class as her."
Listening to the scary proposal, Ying Ye Zhenshi watched as the man in front of him raised his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"Are you sure she's your sister? Do you have a grudge against her or something?"
He had some doubts about the boy's intentions in asking this of him.
'Are you also a 'defective product', huh?'
