Love Comes After Learning

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The scenery outside the window flows quickly, and the car drives smoothly on the highway.

The bossa nova-style BGM flows slightly, the bright sunshine in the morning warms the interior of the car, and the moderate air conditioner operates silently, creating a harmonious and soothing tranquil space like a coffee shop.

A small retractable table sits in the middle, with cans of drinks fresh from the freezer on it, and passengers are sitting around the table, staring nervously at each other.

"Who is the king?"

"Me." Wu Yue raised his hand, holding a joke card between his fingers, with a faint complacency on his face.

"Tch." Er Nai pursed his lips, as if wanting to vent his anger, intentionally or unintentionally, he bumped the shoulder of the boy beside him.

"..." Asada was expressionless, and stone carvings generally ignored it.

The specially enlarged rear seat is not crowded even if six people are stuffed in it. The seats divided into two rows just allow enough room for three people on one side to move around, without arms touching arms and thighs touching thighs.

For the only man in the car, this is a matter of gratitude.

Although someone would still bump into him when he felt unhappy, at least he didn't have to experience the feeling of being surrounded by a warm and fragrant soft body.

As a virgin gentleman who consciously keeps an appropriate distance from all women and can almost be called the contemporary Liu Xiahui, that is not some kind of enjoyment, but a severe test of the heart, integrity and rationality.

On his left is Nino, and on his right is Wuyue. The two have long hair, and they can smell similar but different fragrances every time they turn their heads.

Therefore, Asada Shinichi always sat upright with a flat expression. Even when he was playing the "legendary" king game, he didn't show a smile at all. He maintained his calm and dignified demeanor within the limit of not destroying the atmosphere of the game.

"Then... what number do you want to order..."

Wuyue nodded her chin, as if thinking, but her eyes wandered dishonestly to the playing cards in Asada's hand.

Asada directly put the cards on the table, clasped his hands in an anchorage style, his lips were tightly pressed, and he stared at Yotsuba in front of him without squinting.

Yotsuba also seemed to be interested, puffed up her cheeks, her round blue pupils squeezed into cross-eyed eyes, stared at each other with Asada, and neither would give in to the other.

Seeing that Asada didn't respond, and even played a staring game with Yotsuba, Wu Yue looked away as if nothing had happened, and the base of her ears turned slightly red, probably because she was ashamed of her behavior.

Continuing to stare at Clover, he sighed softly.

——According to British research, if there is only one man in the game of kings, other women will try their best to tease him, making him embarrassing, panicked, showing his masculinity, and at the same time making the atmosphere happy, It's simply killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Shinichi Asada had already prepared himself mentally, absolutely not letting them know what number he had drawn—this was the weakest resistance he could make, and the rest was left to luck.

As for why he didn't refuse to participate in the first place, or find a way to switch to another game, it's his masculine instinct to blame.

Playing the immortal king game with five beautiful girls in a confined space, he almost agreed to this seemingly dreamlike development, and only realized that something was wrong after the game started, and found that he was playing This game has no advantage at all.

Their playing method is very simple. Draw a card from the pile of poker cards with numbers [-] to [-] and the joker card. what order.

In this way, when the quintuplets draw the king, if they fail to pick him, they can give orders to speed up the progress of the game. When they finally pick him, they can think of a brilliant arrangement to embarrass him.

But he couldn't issue any excessive orders to counterattack... This is the disadvantage of a single man confronting multiple women. As long as he has integrity and face, he can't win against them mentally.

It's not that he has a dark mind and only speculates about the five people with negative thoughts - Kazuka Nakano who suggested this game with a smirk, Nino Nakano who always wanted to peek at his number during the game, quietly thinking about something Nakano Miku who was peeping at him, Nakano Yotsuba who just wanted to play games, and Nakano Mayzuki who became more clingy for some reason.

All four of them were targeting him intentionally or unintentionally, trying to make him lose his dignity and lose his demeanor as a chairman—how can he not be vigilant?

Fortunately, after playing for two or three rounds, although he didn't draw the king, he was lucky enough not to be drawn, and he has survived without incident until now.

After he draws the king, he will find a way to end the game. It is better to play a game of drawing a turtle than worrying about it here.

"Then... number four!"

After hesitating for a while, May finally gave out the number.

Sanjiuban raised his hand and said flatly, "I am number four."

"Then sing a song, and the chorus is fine."

Asada couldn't help curling her lips, it was still such an obviously perfunctory order.

If it was him, even if he sang, he would definitely be forced to sing a majestic song or stare at him, right?Or the kind that requires the whole song.

...Oops, I feel like I'm about to suffer from persecution paranoia.

"Singing? Good."

Without changing his expression, Sanjiu nodded and lowered his head slightly.

The shadow in her hair hit her face, and after brewing some emotions, she slightly opened her lips, and she slowly sang "お仍はだあれ (Who is next door?").

"Light up the lights... there is no room for cheating... Look, this way... wave, come, welcome... your home, here..."

The flat and slightly dull voice, coupled with this eerie and strange song, between the trembling and undulating tones, the air in the car suddenly became cold.

The old driver adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner in a timely manner, and then adjusted it back after Sanjiu finished singing.

"...Singing, singing very well." Wuyue rubbed her arms, although it was really nice, just like the voice actor and singer Miku Ito singing, but there was always a faint resentment permeating the surroundings, the others There was no thought of clapping, and she silently put the cards on the table, letting Yihua shuffle them.

With a smile on the corner of Yihua's mouth, she picked up the cards one by one, scrubbed them in her hands, and put them on the table.

Asada stared at her the whole time, just to make sure she didn't do anything... If he finds out, the game can be ended logically.

As if to avoid suspicion, she didn't take the lead in taking the cards, but quietly winked at Asada, smiling very docilely and cutely.

Asada looked away, dispelling her suspicion a little bit, and stretched out his hand, ready to take the card.

Er Nao took the card he was eyeing first.

Glancing at her, he was used to her being against him, so Asada didn't care, so he picked another one at random.

"Then who will be the king this time~" Yihua narrowed his eyes with a smile, and turned over the cards.

As soon as the malicious voice came to his ears, Asada felt wronged, and was about to raise his head to look at Kazuka, but then, a voice came from beside him.

"it's me."

Er Nai raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth curled into a high arc.

When Asada couldn't help staring at her with wide eyes, she glanced at the cards in his hand and showed a sweet and bright smile.

Then, his complexion changed, he raised his chin and looked down at him, his eyes were sharp and haughty, and he spoke like a queen.

"Number two, I give you thirty seconds to praise me with the most respectful, sincere, and friendly attitude!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

been pitted.

At this moment, Asada Shinichi realized the truth.

Why did Yihua smile so treacherously just now?

Why is Er Nai grabbing cards so fast?

Why can she accurately call out the numbers on his hand?

Why, it was from this round that he cheated...

All the doubts flowed through his mind like data, he slightly squinted his eyes, and before he could get the answer, Nino shouted urgently.

"It's only [-] seconds. Just now Sanjiu sang for only [-] seconds. Is it good for you? Don't hesitate, hurry up and complete the order like a man!"

"..." Asada looked at her, her flawless pretty face was flushed slightly, and there was a hint of anticipation in her haughty gaze, she was obviously elated as if she was watching a good show, but for some reason she became a little shy.

He glanced at other people's expressions again, Yihua smiled at him apologetically, Yotsuba looked at Nino in surprise, Sanjiu sipped green tea expressionlessly, and Wuyue looked at him Tilted his head.

Is there a problem? (?????)

fine. (?_ゝ`)

After confirming that the only accomplice was Yihua, although there were still many puzzles to be solved, Asada did not intend to play tricks, so he could only complete the order first, and then try to find a way to expose their tricks in the next round.

"...The king's order is absolute, of course I know it." Suddenly, he opened the corner of his mouth coldly, looked Nino up and down, his gaze seemed real, and his voice was deep and authentic.

"So, are you ready?"

It was like a switch for some kind of behavior. His black eyes shrank suddenly, staring at her closely, his expression gradually changed, and his cold smile also began to soften, becoming a little warmer.

At this moment, Nino seems to have returned to the past, the affectionate and gentle him when he said that in the clothing store, his face was flushed.

Now that the distance between the two of them is so close, and they are in such a confined space, if they are hit by this sugar-coated shell for [-] seconds, she, she will...

No no no, this is absolutely not possible!I made a mistake, I forgot to take this into consideration, I knew that I should change to a better order, and I only have one chance... But, why do I feel a little bit looking forward to it, I don't know what the difference will be from the last time...

Phew, what was I thinking!It's not like the two are alone now!

As if to shake off the strange thoughts in her mind, she shook her long hair, concealed her red ears, and folded her hands across her chest, speaking honestly.

"Add new rules, don't be too nasty! You have to think clearly, now you are in front of everyone, and there is no place for you to run away. Ordinary compliments will do! But you must be sincere and not perfunctory."

"..."

Er Nao was busy talking and didn't notice, the moment her words fell, the smile on the corner of Yi Hua's mouth faded away, and he narrowed his eyes quietly; San Jiu glanced at her, and squeezed the cards slightly; Yotsuba pinched her chin thoughtfully , as if remembering something.

Wu Yue took out a bag of snacks from her carry-on bag, and ate them while watching.

Asada chuckled, but the steadfast gaze on her face made her panic involuntarily and her cheeks felt hot.

"Don't worry, it's just a compliment. This is an essential skill for survival in the workplace. As long as you can make your boss feel comfortable, promotion and salary increase are easy... Don't be too happy after listening to it, you have to learn it."

"I won't be happy... Hurry up and start." She snorted noncommittally, and turned her face to look at the car window.

It feels like my heart is beating a little fast, I hope not to be discovered by others...

"Okay, then the timer is thirty seconds...start."

Asada straightened his face, he knew that other people were watching him, so naturally he would not blow himself up in front of them, and he was not going to let his acting skills go online, he just obeyed orders and praised her normally.

Of course, he wasn't going to make Nina what he wanted either.

Want to see him scratching his face and praising her with shame?There are no doors, the windows will be nailed up for you, and the tunnels will be filled with soil for you. Go ahead and dream.

So, he took a deep breath and smiled.

"Ninai, your appearance is as delicate as Einstein's mass-energy interchange formula,

Your figure is as perfect as Euler's identity,

Your wisdom is comparable to the formula of Brahmagupta,

Your craft is like the Stirling formula,

Your existence is like the Pythagorean theorem..."

The tone was respectful and gentle, clear and well-organized, and he did not forget to look directly at the other party, pouring out these words with the most sincere and heartfelt attitude, without any perfunctory.

In these thirty seconds, he said thirty different mathematical formulas without taking a breath or stopping, and his voice only echoed in the car, as if it stirred up a slight tremor in the air, shaking the others. Head dizzy.
