Chapter 42: The Great War of Tongue-Twisters

  Irie Naoki lets Shizuka Yoshiko pass it to Kiriya Aoi, she passed it but was met with a cold hum from Kiriya's darkened face.

  Shizuka Ryoko didn't mind Akagi Tsubasa's attitude either, even if she was the one who didn't want her precious treasure to be snatched away so quickly. However, there was one thing she was very clear about: some things that were meant to come would still come, and it was pointless to try to hold on or struggle against them.

  Akane Hoshi and Yoshiki is studying Chinese under the shade of a tree, to be exact she's teaching him Chinese. As for why the other students aren't there, it's because this class is 2nd year C class' physical education lesson.

  Riichi lowered his head, scribbling and drawing something, unlike the soft golden hair of Kaito Mika, his dark golden hair emitted a wild aura in the sunlight, yet under his bangs, his golden eyes flickered with an unusual, discordant gentle warmth.

  And she smiled faintly, with a hint of warmth between her eyebrows. She was explaining very seriously to Yoshiki.

  It's just Rihito who keeps writing and drawing. Akane Koenji looked puzzled, are there really that many notes? Just looking at the paper in his hand, black lines...

  "Hey Jie, are you listening to me?"

  "Really! I've been listening carefully all along!" As Riki raised her head, her serious gaze made her feel a little dizzy.

  "What are you doing?" Why draw her?

  He looked down at the painting of her lecturing him seriously, then lifted his head again to look into her eyes which were still so serious. "I want to paint your portrait, when I'm alone facing myself, it can give me motivation."

  Qin Mu's calm face cracked for a second, and he was stunned. "I didn't know I had this use." Was he praising himself?

  Riichi's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness upon hearing this, "Akagi has always been the driving force in my heart."

  Akane's eyes sparkled, "Kaito is indeed eloquent."

  "Hey, what's wrong? Is this a blush?"

  He glared at him with a "not possible" expression, was he being that sentimental?

  "Really no shame?"

  "Nothing." Lin Mu's lips twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth.

  "Are you sure there isn't?" He looked at me as if I was lying.

  "I said no means no." Black line of Akane Motomiya. Is it fun to repeatedly deceive yourself?

  Riichi lowered his head, and the dark golden bangs covered the hint of a smile in his eyes. Akagi no longer looked at him silently, he had really broken through that arrogant appearance, and however he looked, it was detestable.

  "Ah! Akane! It's really you! I've missed you so much!" Just as Kaito was thinking about Akane, a familiar yellow figure suddenly appeared and hugged him tightly.

  The sun was setting, casting a dark shadow over the ground. He glared at some small animal, "The lower class will overthrow the upper! Mr. Akutagawa! Please don't bully her!" How did he pop up again? It's rare for him to be alone with her. Can't he just go sleep or something?

  Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, however, did not care about Yoshida Aya, and comfortably leaned against the soft, fluffy body of Katsuragi Misako, which was filled with a languid atmosphere.

  Akane looked at Yukio on her body and blinked in confusion, "Yukio, how are you here?"

  Akutagawa Jirō blinked his still sleepy eyes, "I was sleeping nearby, then I heard someone talking and smelled your scent, so I woke up."

  Akane let out a sigh in her heart. This sleepy and extremely sensitive sheep was indeed famous for a reason.

  "Yuu, what are you doing here? And Yoshiki too?" Akutagawa Jirou pouted, looking at Yoshiki with a tinge of jealousy. Was he on a date with Yuu?! Luckily he was here, or else Yuu would have been taken advantage of!

  "Below the superior! Akutagawa-senpai! Today's class is physical education!" Hiyori turned his head to look at him, his dark golden hair slicing through a cold, hard arc. His words were not without a hint of boastfulness, because he was in the same class as Katsuragi Ayaka, and had an advantage in everything, after all, "a pavilion built near the water enjoys the moon first"!

  "Physical education class? Then I'll attend physical education class with you guys, okay?" Akutagawa Jirō hugged her hand and coquettishly asked. He also wanted to be with her, no matter what they did.

  "Let's get back on track! Akutagawa-senpai should go back to his own class!" Hiyori tried to persuade him to return.

  "But I want to be with Ayame..." Akutagawa Jirō's eyes sparkled, his voice was pitiful and soft, as if he was about to cry, and it was heartbreaking.

  Akane Futaba was helpless, just as she was about to speak, a magnificent voice rang out, "Kazuki! Get that unrefined guy down here!"

  "WUSH" Huodi children's shoes obey orders.

  Qingmu Xiang watched the repeated scenes without any movement, because she knew they were already used to these.

  "Kokoro, what are you doing here?" Akane wondered, don't these people have classes to attend? Or is it all physical education?

  His face was asked to be stunned, his long fingers were slightly stiff and not easy to detect, pointing at the tear mole, did he want him to say that when he saw her and Hiyori alone together, he rushed out with a brain full of blood?

  "Huh? I'm just out for a stroll, and I happened to see you here." Normally he wouldn't use the term "ben da ye" (a somewhat arrogant way of referring to oneself), but now he's using it to cover up and make himself sound more manly. What kind of excuse is that?

  The candidates who followed closely behind couldn't help but burst out laughing at these ridiculous and hilarious excuses! Some even laughed so hard that their stomachs cramped, rolling on the ground~ Who else could be as exaggerated as Hyuga Hinata? Even those with good breeding couldn't hide the curve of their lips.

  Jikuhei's face changed slightly at the mocking laughter from behind, barely maintaining his elegant demeanor. His cold, sharp eyes shot towards the regulars, "Huh? What are you laughing at?! How unrefined! You'll be training twice as hard today!"

  "What?! Alright, it's a tragic turn of events, the regulars let out a miserable cry."

  Qingmu Xiangxiu couldn't help but be infected by their atmosphere, and she too raised a smile. Under the sunlight, that one pure and lotus-like smile made people's hearts throb uncontrollably~~~

  Ji Bu was still very angry, but when he saw her smile, all his annoyance disappeared, and he stared at the dimples on her face, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.

  "How did you all come out? Are you all coming out?" Akane Matsu said with a faint tone, successfully making the boys' faces turn red.

  One by one, their eyes sparkled, but in fact they were just like Tsubasa, attending classes normally in the classroom. It was only when they suddenly saw her and Hiyori together, with such a good atmosphere, that they couldn't help but rush down, without even knowing how to ask for leave from the teacher. (You guys didn't even ask for leave before rushing out, did you?)

  Awkward silence... sigh~~~~~~~

  "Hmph! You're all so unrefined! Ahn? Be dazzled by my magnificent looks, then!"

  “WUSH”

  "Hehe, beautiful Yīngzi, don't you think that sunbathing at this time is beneficial for your health?"

  "I just met someone who dares to challenge me! Hmph! I'll let him know what it means to be inferior!"

  "I followed the seniors out, I thought it was a special club activity" Feng Changtai unexpectedly played a trick on them, using them as shields.

  "Die already!" Kaito Akatsuki turned his head away, looking somewhere else.

  The god of sleep... Zzz

  "Ush" Huodi Jun...

  "Look down on me? Seniors!" The black line of his mouth rose slightly, and he gave a provocative glance back at them. He understood what they were really thinking!

  "What... What are those absurd excuses of theirs? A battle of clichés?"
