Yihua smiled and said, "Go back and have dinner. If you don't go now, you won't be able to grab food. You run fast, so help me get a meal. I'll do the same as you do."

"Okay! I'll be there as soon as possible."

Yotsuba stood up suddenly as if she had received an order and ran towards the door: "Ichika, take care of myself!!"

The voice gradually lengthened and the girl walked away.

She ran very fast in the corridor of the infirmary, but after turning a corner, her speed slowed down. Finally, she stopped in front of a wall and leaned against it quietly.

Siye supported his body weakly, his face looked cold and lonely, and he remained silent for a long time.

"It sucks..."

……

Instead of returning to the classroom, Hayakawa went straight to the library instead of rushing to the cafeteria like other students.

You can skip a meal for a day, but you can’t finish your homework in a day. Even if he has to eat other people’s leftovers, he will go to the library to study first.

As he walked, Hayakawa opened his phone and read the messages he had received from others.

First came the message from Nino, mainly asking about Ichika, to which Hayakawa replied seriously. Then came the message from Furuhashi, who said that he had gone to the library first and asked her to go there quickly. He also sent a video saying "super interesting", so she shared it.

"hehe."

Hayakawa didn't even take a look at it and directly exited the chat page. He knew without thinking that it must be a video of cats, dogs and pets. People who like to watch this kind of videos usually drool.

He walked towards the library, but his mind gradually recalled the conversation he had with Ichika, and his steps paused slightly.

"She likes me... maybe..."

"Hayakawa, you can't think that Nino likes you just because she treats you well..."

Hayakawa crossed his fingers in front of his chest, narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into deep thought, recalling everything he found in the infirmary.

"Misunderstand…"

Hayakawa frowned and pursed his lips slightly, feeling a strange sense of shame in his heart.

One of the three great illusions of human beings—she likes me.

Human beings are always caught in a vortex of excessive self-consciousness. If a girl is a little bit nice to you, you will start to fantasize about what it would be like for the two of you to be in love, about other people's envious eyes, and in the end you even think of a name for your child. Only to find out that this is just a routine thing for girls and you are not special at all.

"..."

Hayakawa was silent for a moment, and felt his face getting inexplicably hot. His mood was similar to when he was awakened at home and was seen by Xiao Meilang.

It turns out that the bad nature of human beings is really terrible. Even a great being like me is not immune to it. The bottom line is that my will is too weak and can be easily shaken by others.

I have to be more careful next time.

In short, go learn first.

Hayakawa arrived at the library, and at this time Ogata Rizu and Furuno Fumino had already been sitting in a familiar corner waiting for him. Ogata was lying on the table in a semi-comatose state, with even the ahoge on his head standing up listlessly, looking very tired. Furuno was also supporting his chin with one hand and browsing his phone, his face pale and looking weak.

"You two,"

When Hayakawa saw the two people being lazy, he was furious. He thought, "I've worked so hard, why are you two being lazy?" So he quickly walked over to the two people with his bag on his back and frowned, saying, "Why aren't you studying?"

"Hayakawa-san..."

Ogata Rizu heard the voice, raised her head from the embrace of her arms, and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I'm really too tired... I don't have the strength."

After saying that, she fell back down as if she was dizzy and had no strength left at all.

"Yes,"

Furuno Fumino nodded in agreement. "I feel like I've used up all the exercise for the week just now on running. Now I don't have any strength left. Even if we study in this situation, it won't be efficient. So why don't we take a break?"

"You guys..."

Hayakawa was both angry and amused, and said, "You can't even stand a little bit of exercise, and you actually find this kind of excuse not to study. I'm really impressed."

Having said that, Hayakawa did not continue to blame the two of them. Instead, he calmly sat down beside them and read a book. He knew that the two of them were not making excuses to be lazy, but were really tired. After all, he saw with his own eyes how miserable they looked on the track, and they really needed a rest.

"Forget it, I'll just let you lie down for a while."

Hayakawa took out his study books from his bag and said magnanimously, "I don't think you can study anyway."

"Thank you very much, Master Hayakawa."

Furuno Fumino pretended to be moved, and Ogata Rizu's ahoge hair moved, as if she had regained some strength.

"this is for you."

Fumino Furuhashi opened her schoolbag and handed a plastic bag to Hayakawa.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa frowned as he looked at the plastic bag. Inside was a fried noodle bread, a sandwich and two bottles of water. It was obviously lunch prepared for Hayakawa.

"You didn't go to eat, this won't work,"

Furuno Fumino looked at Hayakawa and said with concern: "You still have to eat a good lunch."

"It's that speech again,"

Hayakawa glanced at the contents of the plastic bag and said nonchalantly, "You don't have to buy me any lunch. Isn't it a waste of time to eat during lunch break? I'm used to it. Anyway, the study time will pass quickly when I get to the library."

Fumino Furuhashi shook his head vigorously and said seriously, "If you skip lunch, you will get stomach problems. You have to eat well."

"..."

Hayakawa was silent for a moment, then silently opened the plastic bag, took out a piece of bread and tore it open: "Forget it, let's eat some. It's just the right time to replenish sugar for the brain, which will make it more efficient."

"Ok!"

Fumino Furuhashi's eyes lit up slightly, and then he resolutely lay down on the table: "Then I'll go to sleep first~"

As she said this, she hugged her head, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Hayakawa: “…”

He fell asleep so quickly, it seems he was really tired.

"Good afternoon."

Hayakawa looked at Furuno Furuhashi's peaceful sleeping face, whispered something, then gently turned over his hands and started studying while eating bread.

That was it, that was the picture he wanted.

I am studying and working hard, but they are being lazy, indulging themselves and squandering their talents.

You are arrogant and hesitant, while I bow my head, remain silent but firm.

"Humph…"

The corners of Hayakawa's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of pride on his face.

He admitted that there was a huge gap in talent between himself and Furuno Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata. The gap was so big and obvious that it was useless not to admit it. He might even have a talent gap with Yui Doma and Masaki Natsukawa. After all, he had never seen them study. Hayakawa had already understood this cruel reality.

so what?

Once upon a time there was a rabbit and a tortoise racing. The speed of the two was very different, but in the end the tortoise defeated the rabbit and won.

The gap between my talent and theirs is the biggest. Could it be bigger than the gap in talent between a tortoise and a rabbit?

Diligence can make up for lack of talent. Hayakawa believes that as long as he continues to work hard, sooner or later he will be invincible and ascend the throne to become emperor.

When Hayakawa thought of this, his resolve became even stronger, and even the hand holding the pen became stronger.

"Hayakawa-san..."

At this time, Fumino Furuhashi suddenly started talking in his sleep, muttering: "You never watched the video I sent you..."

Hayakawa looked calm: Sorry, that's the thing I care least about this century so I won't watch it.

“I never look at it…”

Fumino Furuhashi frowned in his sleep and muttered with dissatisfaction: "That's too much..."

Hayakawa studied the questions expressionlessly, then a smile appeared on his indifferent face, and he sat beside the two sleeping girls and began to read calmly.

……

After lunch break, Hayakawa left the two girls and returned to the classroom. The time for study was always extremely short. The afternoon class passed in a flash, and soon it was the last class before school was over.

The afternoon sun shines on the windowsill of the classroom, and the shadows of people are reflected in the room. Outside the window, the cat walks slowly and gracefully on the edge of the flower bed outside the teaching building, like a king inspecting his territory. The teacher's nagging voice echoes in the warm air. The plastic track in the playground is empty, and only the lush cypress trees rustle in the sun.

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa lamented the fleeting time and sat in a chair with his chin supported in a daze. The reason for his daze was not because he was lazy, but because he had already heard the content of the teacher's lecture from Xiao Meilang, so there was no need to listen to it again.

There was nothing much to study for him about the first-year high school courses, and he had already started reading books for the next semester to study the content for the second year of high school.

Suddenly a ball of paper was thrown over and hit him on the head.

Hayakawa's face turned pale and he glared at the girl next to him. In response, Natsukawa Masuzu, who was smiling, made an apologetic gesture to him and pointed at the ball of paper, motioning him to look.

Hayakawa frowned and opened the paper ball. On the wrinkled paper, he saw the words "Let's go eat together after school?" written in beautiful Chinese characters.

"Hmmmm?"

Hayakawa's face was immediately filled with black question marks, and he looked at Xiachuan Zhenliang next to him with a puzzled expression.

Although the two of them were indeed desk mates in school, Hayakawa really didn't know when their relationship became good enough to eat together.

"Hmm,"

So Hayakawa sneered, pushed the paper ball aside, and pretended that he saw nothing.

When Xiachuan Zhenliang saw this, her pretty face suddenly froze, and then her gentle smile returned. She lowered her head and quickly wrote another note and threw it towards Hayakawa.

Hayakawa's head was hit again, and his whole face suddenly became blacker than coal. He turned his head stutteringly, looking expressionlessly at Xiachuan Zhenliang who seemed to be indifferent. His bright red eyes already reflected the death of the person in front of him.

"Cough cough."

The teacher who was giving a lecture on the stage had already noticed the two people's little movements, but he just coughed lightly and didn't say much. After all, Hayakawa and Natsukawa Masuyoshi were both among the top students in the grade, and teachers would always be nicer to good students.

Natsukawa Masuyoshi restrained his movements, turned around, sat upright and looked at the blackboard, pretending that he was studying.

Pretend.

"Humph,"

Hayakawa sneered with disdain in his heart. Privately, he hated people who pretended to study the most. They appeared to be listening attentively in class every day, and did their homework seriously and practiced a lot of exercises. They always looked hardworking and diligent in front of others, but their grades were always mediocre. Why?

The reason is very simple... Hard work is never something you do to show off to others, but something you do yourself. You may always act like a good student in front of others, but only you know whether you are really working hard.

High school knowledge is neither difficult nor easy. If you really study hard and use good methods, as long as you are not intellectually disabled you can at least get excellent grades. Hayakawa has the most say in this regard. He is not intellectually retarded but his brain is definitely not very smart. However, he still relied on hard work to get into the top few in the grade and aimed for first place. This is enough to explain the problem.

But this is not the case with Natsukawa Makoto. She really doesn't learn anything. She pretends to listen in class but actually doesn't listen at all. She does her homework casually and her schoolbag contains everything except exercise books. Her behavior is not at all like that of a student.

However, such a person could achieve results comparable to his own. Just thinking about it made Hayakawa feel his heart filled with great shame.

hateful…

Hayakawa's heart sank. He forced himself to block out these thoughts, regain his composure, and continue studying.

……

Soon the bell rang for the end of get out of class. The teacher gave a few instructions, assigned homework, and announced the end of school. The students in the classroom cheered and left in twos and threes.

Hayakawa said nothing as he slowly packed the textbooks on his desk into his schoolbag. The originally empty schoolbag was instantly filled to the brim, becoming a huge and bloated burden.

"Bye, Hayakawa-san, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Hayakawa."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Hayakawa gave a hypocritical smile and greeted the classmates around him one by one. He did not stop smiling until everyone had left and continued to pack up.

"Oh, what a hypocritical man."

An unpleasant voice came from the side, and Natsukawa Masuyoshi walked over with a pout, looking like he had seen through Hayakawa's true nature.

"It's you again,"

Hayakawa's face darkened and he asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"I'll wait for you to eat."

Natsukawa Masuzu said as a matter of course.

Hayakawa: “…”

After two seconds of silence, Hayakawa said in a hollow tone: "Did I not make it clear? I don't think I agreed."
