I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 29 Who is the first?

Thursday, seven o'clock in the morning, Bai Chuan's house.

Xiangzi slowly opened her eyes, yawned and got up, then slowly stuffed the quilt into the closet.

"Are you up?" Shirakawa Kazuya looked back and continued busy in the kitchen.

"Yes, Onisan. What did you eat this morning?" Xiangzi asked, walking to the mirror and squeezing out toothpaste.

"I learned something new, you will know it later."

When she came to the table, Xiangzi sat down obediently, holding her chin in her hands and inching her head, looking like she was about to fall asleep again.

"Dang-dang-dang." Shirakawa Kazuya made a strange sound effect from his mouth, took the plate for two people out of the kitchen and placed it on the table.

Xiangzi opened her eyes and looked at the plate in front of her. It contained toasted soft bread that was steaming.

"Onisan, what is this? It looks much softer than normal bread. Is it boiled bread?"

Xiangzi poked it with her hand, and the bread felt soft and moist.

"This is French toast." Shirakawa Kazuya sat down with a knife and fork.

"French toast?"

Xiangzi was a little confused. She only knew about this name because she occasionally saw it in novels.But a common problem when reading novels is that even if you know the name, you may not be able to imagine what the real thing looks like.

"Judging from the name, it should be French cuisine."

"The etymology seems to come from the United States."

"You know it very well, Onisan."

"I just saw it in a cookbook before."

But language history and the like are obviously not important issues.

"How should I eat this?" Xiangzi saw French toast for the first time and was a little confused.

"Just use a knife and fork." Shirakawa Kazuya pointed to the tableware in front of her.

"Do you want to use a knife and fork?" Xiangzi picked up the knife and fork with both hands and made a tentative cut.

"Cut the bread like a steak. It feels a bit wrong, like eating Western food."

Shirakawa Kazuya cut a piece and put it in his mouth, "Really? If you imagine it like cutting a birthday cake, this incongruous feeling should disappear."

"Yes, it doesn't seem strange if you think about it this way." Xiangzi also cut a piece and put it in her mouth. The sweetness of the eggs and white sugar spread on the tip of her tongue.

"It can be seen that if you look at things from different angles, you will get completely different results."

While eating, Shirakawa Kazuya amused himself by summarizing his bread philosophy.

"By the way, Xiangzi, when is your birthday? I just remembered it was during summer vacation, but I forgot the specific time."

"July, July NO.20!"

"Okay, I'll remember it. Let's celebrate our birthday together then." Shirakawa Kazuya put the last bite of bread into his mouth.

After the two had eaten and drank, they parted at the bus stop. Shirakawa Kazuya got on the bus and came to school.As soon as I entered the classroom, I heard the students discussing nervously - the results will be released this morning.

"Shirakawa-san, are you confident in winning first place?" Chihaya Tsukiike put down her phone when she saw him coming, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, maybe Yuechi-san is more powerful."

Shirakawa Kazuya didn't want to have anything to do with this young lady, so he took out the textbook and started reading.

I finished my math class in a tense atmosphere. Not long before the bell rang, someone outside shouted: "The grades have been posted!"

The classroom suddenly became noisy, and the students rushed out of the door. They were students after all, and everyone was very concerned about rankings.

Tsukiike Chihaya saw Shirakawa Kazuya and Kawakami Masamune walking out, and she followed them with a smile.

The private Futaba Academy directly posted the ranking list on the bulletin board in the middle of the corridor, regardless of protecting students' privacy and self-esteem. The school's traditional concept is to let good students receive praise and preferential treatment, and let poor students know their shame and then be brave and strive for success. Try to catch up with others.

At this time, the front of the bulletin board was already crowded with people, and from time to time there were sounds of admiration and sighs.Some people laughed and ran away, while others left silently without saying a word.

Shirakawa Kazuya sideways squeezed into the crowd, and after a lot of effort, he reached the bulletin board. He looked directly at the top column of the first ranking list and found that Chihaya Tsukiike's name was written on it.

Grade One: Tsukichi Chihaya, Class A, Grade 693, [-] points.

He couldn't believe it. He ignored Chihaya Tsukiike's specific scores for each subject and continued to look down, and saw his name in the second column.

The first grader: Shirakawa Kazuya, first grade Class A, 693 points.

It turned out to be tied for first place, he felt a little relieved, and then looked at the specific scores of the individual subjects.

My single subject scores and those of Tsukiike Chihaya were basically the same. I should have been second, but I was lucky enough to guess the correct answer for the English listening question.The total English score was two points higher than the other student’s, and he got full marks.

He originally wanted to see where Nagata Chinatsu ranked to confirm the effectiveness of his role as a tutor during this period, but the crowd was very crowded. He glanced hastily and was squeezed out before he could find the opponent's ranking.

"How are you, Shirakawa-san?" Chihaya Tsukiike asked with a smile while standing outside the crowd with her hands behind her back.

"How about what?"

"I don't want to crowd around with this group of people, so I'm just asking you. Anyway, my ranking must be as dazzling as mine, so tell me, who among us is number one?"

"Tie for first place." Shirakawa Kazuya didn't like to deal with the other party, so he reported his ranking and left the corridor.

It seems that there are such creatures as geniuses in this world. I graduated from college and went back to the drawing board. Although I am not used to one or two subjects, after all, it is only a phased exam for the first year of high school. I study hard every day, and with the addition of external body protection, I can actually do it. I almost didn't pass the other party's test.

If you still haven’t worked hard enough, go back and continue reading, and strive to leave everyone behind and get first place in the next exam!After confirming the results, Shirakawa Kazuya put the results behind him and started a new round of study.

Tsukichi Chihaya looked at Shirakawa Kazuya's leaving back, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

This pretty boy still has some strength in him. He spent half an hour doing this test paper casually. He thought that this level would be enough to get first place. Unexpectedly, he almost didn't get first place because of his carelessness. It seems that You have to take it a little more seriously later.

She glanced again at the crowd still crowding in front of the bulletin board.

It must be tragic to be born in the same period as a genius. All the light will fall on that genius, and everyone else will be eclipsed.

No matter how hard these people try, they are no match for me. This is the power of me, Chihaya Tsukiike.

She no longer paid attention to the noisy scene and returned to the class with an expressionless face.

　Goodnight everybody
