"Yay, school's finally over."
Seeing that the teacher had left, Hayakawa went to Natsukawa Masuzu, who was not far away, without saying a word. He looked at the girl leisurely and said in a delinquent-like tone, "Come with me."
Uh… this sounds a bit like a challenge to a fight.
The students in the class, who were secretly observing, were thinking to themselves, their eyes following the boy and girl standing by the window.
"Are you in such a hurry... Hayakawa-san?"
Natsukawa Masami blushed slightly and lowered her head. The shadow of her cascading silver hair obscured her exquisitely beautiful, elfin face. "Then... let's go, let's find a place where no one else is around..."
Good...good erotic innuendo.
The other students in the class felt a surge of emotion upon hearing this, and some of the boys were even more heartbroken, their faces contorted with jealousy.
"it is good."
Hayakawa smiled coldly.
It's good to be somewhere where no one is watching. That way, I can simply refuse you without affecting my reputation.
"Get lost, you pig! Go buy a mirror and look at your stupid self before you confess your feelings."
Just say it!
I'm so gentle~
Hayakawa blushed with excitement, shook his head, and happily left the classroom.
Under the watchful eyes of their classmates, the two walked down the corridor one after the other. Hayakawa, meanwhile, nonchalantly met the incredulous gazes of the passing students and left the teaching building naturally amidst the uproar.
There was a sudden commotion at the school gate.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa glanced at the commotion at the school gate, then looked at the heads peeking over from every floor of the teaching building behind him, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is it so noisy?"
"Indeed."
A hint of disgust flashed in Xia Chuanzhen's narrowed eyes. She personally disliked being watched, but for her, it was almost impossible to avoid being noticed at school. In fact, she had been used to being looked at differently by others since she was a child.
Natsukawa Masuzu was well aware of one fact: a girl like her attending the same school would likely be the subject of conversation throughout her three years of high school. She would be the girl that girls would be curious about, jealous of, and long for; the girl that boys would reminisce about, regret, and dream about.
So she wanted to change this situation, at least to change the fact that she was said goodbye to 78 times in a month.
Natsukawa Masuzu turned her head, her gentle, watery gaze falling on the boy beside her. It was undoubtedly the look of someone looking at a lover, which made the whispers among the students around them grow louder.
At this moment, amidst the sunlight, dust, long, straight silver hair, a white shirt, a pleated skirt, and a blue ribbon bow, there is no more fitting memento of youthful school life than the name Natsukawa Masaki.
"..."
Hayakawa felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly sensed countless killing intents piercing him from the crowd, so he quickly left the school gate with Natsukawa Masuzu.
At that moment, Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata had just left the teaching building and were walking down the stairs with their bags on their backs, accompanied by Furuhashi's good friends, the three Su-Shika-Cho sisters.
The two girls chatted and laughed. They were very happy because they didn't have to study today and could even watch a movie.
Suddenly, Fumino Furuhashi noticed the strange looks around her and the commotion not far away. She subconsciously looked towards the end of the crowd and saw Hayakawa Shiro hurriedly leaving the school with a stunningly beautiful silver-haired woman.
Fumino Furuhashi: ? ? ?
Chapter 59 Xia Chuan’s Troubles
Like a withered tree struck by lightning, Fumino Furuhashi stood there blankly, watching the two figures disappear at the school gate.
"Ahhh~"
The eldest of the three Zhu Lu Die sisters, Lu Yuan, held her cheek, looking troubled: "It seems it's true~"
“Eh…this,”
Fumino Furuhashi looked blankly at him, as if she'd been hit on the head, and asked, "What, really?"
"The story about Hayakawa being confessed to by the school's most beautiful girl,"
Lu Yuan asked in surprise, "Don't you know, Gu Qiao? It's been all over the school."
“That…I do know that,”
Fumino Furuhashi stammered, "But how come she's the school beauty? Isn't she Frankenstein?"
"I don't understand what you're saying at all,"
Shikazumi tilted her head and said, "Natsukawa-san, Natsukawa Masuzu from Class B, is a transfer student who came to Ichinose Academy from abroad in just one month. She has excellent grades, is beautiful, and has a gentle personality. In just one month, she has been confessed to more than 30 times in public, and has received countless love letters. She is the school's recognized beauty."
"Natsukawa is really cool?!"
Fumino Furuhashi was startled. She definitely knew this name, after all, when a beautiful transfer student came to high school, the whole grade saw her photo the next day.
but…
Where's Frankenstein? Where did the promised Frankenstein go? How did he suddenly turn into a beautiful overseas returnee?
Fumino Furuhashi's face turned pale, her eyes were vacant, and the image of Hayakawa appeared in her mind.
A mouthful of lies, a mouthful of lies, a mouthful of lies…
Scammers! ...
"And why don't I know?"
Fumino Furuhashi was so angry that her head was spinning. She said, "Why didn't I know anything about such a big thing? I'm also... dating Hayakawa-san."
She still remembers this incident.
"Who knows?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and said nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because Gu Qiao is too aloof and unapproachable, so no one dares to tell you."
This is a lie.
Actually, as soon as Natsukawa Masuzu confessed his feelings that morning, many people in the school wanted to tell Furuhashi. After all, although it was just an unconfirmed rumor, there were indeed rumors in the school that Hayakawa and Furuhashi were dating. So as soon as Natsukawa confessed, Furuhashi's male supporters in the school all popped champagne and cheered, ready to tell Furuhashi, "You've been cheated on."
Then they were all stopped by Lu Yuan and the Sleeping Beauty fan club members she led, and there were two reasons for doing so.
One reason is to protect the ancient bridge. After all, if a bunch of people run up to the ancient bridge and say with big smiles, "You've been cheated on," it's bound to become a life trauma.
Secondly, Shikaen hopes that Fumino Furuhashi can see Hayakawa's ugly face as he is taken away by the girls.
Lu Yuan lowered his head nonchalantly, but his heart was twisted into a hideous face by jealousy and anger.
She hated Hayakawa to death.
He's already dating Princess Furuhashi, but he's secretly flirting with another girl and even seducing her to confess her feelings to him. How can someone like that be worthy of Furuhashi Fumino!
As expected, Princess Guqiao should remain beautiful alone forever; only filthy men are unworthy of her!
Lu Yuan roared in her heart: Princess Guqiao! I am willing to become a vengeful ghost to protect you for three lifetimes!! My love, fly! Become an angel who is forever free from bondage!!
Thinking this, Shiro made a gesture to the members of the hidden Furuhashi Club nearby, instructing them to secretly follow along as planned and capture all the ugly moments of Hayakawa's lustful behavior after being confessed to by the beautiful girl, as the final sharp blade to break the shackles of the angel.
Fumino Furuhashi, on the other hand, looked into the distance with a blank expression.
No one knows what she is thinking.
……
As the sun sets, the city resembles a dark painting, adorned with the faint light of the deep sky, stars, and moonlight, tranquil and beautiful. Twilight spills over the earth, gilding everything with a golden halo.
A chilly autumn wind blew by, making Natsukawa Masaki shiver slightly, instinctively covering his shoulders with his hands.
Hayakawa walked towards the nearby grove of trees, seemingly oblivious to her presence, where he intended to settle things with the woman.
"This is it."
Having found a secluded spot, Hayakawa stopped and turned to look at Natsukawa Masaki.
"Um…"
Natsukawa Masaki was silent for a moment, then smiled at Hayakawa, her eyes revealing a stunningly alluring charm.
This woman!
Hayakawa Shiro's face immediately darkened, and he became alert.
Her innate tendency to fawn over men is ingrained in her very being.
"Hayakawa-san..."
Natsukawa Masaki lowered her head, her face flushed, and said shyly, "I like you. Can we be friends..."
Hayakawa said, "I'm sorry, I refuse."
"They haven't finished speaking yet."
Natsukawa Masaki puffed out her pink cheeks and said somewhat discontentedly, "When a girl confesses her feelings, even if she doesn't agree, she should at least listen carefully, right? It's too impolite to just reject her like this."
"Uh…"
Hayakawa was taken aback by her reaction and said, "Then continue."
"Hmph~"
Natsukawa Masuzu smiled slightly. Despite being rejected so quickly, she didn't seem sad at all. Instead, she closed her eyes and said gently, "The opportunity came on an ordinary school day at noon."
"Ah."
Hayakawa nodded. "I see. You were deeply attracted by the handsome, intelligent, and determined Emperor. I understand."
"That day, after rejecting the 42nd student's confession of the month, in order to escape these troubles and enjoy this rare lunch break, I went to a shady corner of the rooftop and sat against the wall."
Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes were filled with sadness and exhaustion, like a saint who had fallen on hard times: "It was an extremely bad experience. Being harassed by one man after another who would rush up to confess their love just because of their physical desires, but in order to maintain dignity, I could only refuse them in a very polite way. Occasionally, I would also encounter a few weirdos who got my contact information from who-knows-where and kept adding me with different alternate accounts. After experiencing this kind of torment too many times, I was so exhausted that I leaned on the ground and didn't move, like a withered corpse."
Uh... this person is really pitiful.
Hayakawa looked at them with pity. He knew those boys who thought about love all the time better than anyone. Their brains seemed to be controlled by their lower bodies. Once they met a girl they liked, they would turn into beasts and do all sorts of bizarre things.
Using the radio station to request songs to confess one's feelings or confessing in public are considered normal behaviors. Hayakawa has also heard of a large group of people rushing into girls' classrooms to forcibly confess their feelings, and others running downstairs to girls' dormitories to call for them. Such incidents of jealousy and rivalry are not uncommon.
Despite being a student, he thinks about dating all the time. Such a waste of time, I am ashamed to associate with him.
Chapter Sixty: The Emperor's Pride
Seeing the undisguised incomprehension and contempt in Hayakawa's eyes, Natsukawa Masaki smiled slightly, put his hands together, closed his eyes and said with a devout expression, "I, so pitiful, have received the mercy of heaven and met my destined one on the rooftop."
Oh, I see. Well, it's my turn to make my appearance now.
Hayakawa sneered inwardly. He didn't think that no girls liked him at all. On the contrary, he felt that he was very popular and that it was normal for one or two hundred girls to like him.
An invincible emperor descended from the heavens, his resounding voice echoing in the young woman's ears, dispelling all her worries and winning her heart on the rooftop.
Hmm... the rooftop?
Hayakawa suddenly paused, as if he had just thought of something, and fell into deep thought.
Hayakawa knew that place very well. Before he met Furuhashi and Ogata, Hayakawa often cursed the two of them on the rooftop. Without a doubt, the rooftop was where Hayakawa vented his anger.
Hayakawa: "..."
"Do you understand now, Hayakawa-kun?"
Natsukawa Masuzu clutched her chest, glancing furtively at Hayakawa, and said with a smile, "I heard everything you said~"
Hayakawa: "..."
Do you know the consequences of angering the emperor?
"What do you mean?"
Hayakawa asked expressionlessly, "What's your purpose in coming here to confess your feelings?"
If Hayakawa still thinks Natsukawa likes him now, he's an idiot. A girl who can hear what he said and still like him is either mentally challenged or a masochist.
The girl in front of him was clearly not a masochist, but rather had some sadistic tendencies. And since she had better grades than him, she was definitely not mentally challenged. So she must have come with a purpose.
"Hmph, since you put it that way, I'll be blunt then."
