Hayakawa Shiro: "..."
What kind of bizarre reason is this? Just because I replied to her messages too slowly, she got so angry that she dragged me out of class and tortured me. Are we that close?
“That… ancient bridge,”
Hayakawa Shiro fell into deep thought, and finally looked at Furuhashi Fumino with some confusion, saying uncertainly, "Could it be that we started dating sometime ago?"
There was only one possibility left, because if replying to a message slowly could make the woman so angry, Hayakawa Shiro could only think of the possibility of "lover".
"no!"
Fumino Furuhashi blushed instantly and shouted, "That's true, but that's not what I meant!"
Hayakawa Shiro asked expressionlessly, "Which side is it?"
"call…"
Fumino Furuhashi's pretty face flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and anger. She took a deep breath before pointing to the time displayed under Hayakawa Shiro's reply and saying, "What I mean is, why did you reply so late? Weren't you asleep by 2:30?"
"Uh…"
Hayakawa Shiro looked blank: "Yeah, what else?"
That nonchalant, self-righteous expression—the one that seemed to say "it's the right thing to do"—infuriated Fumino Furuhashi to the point of near madness. She gritted her teeth and glared at Hayakawa Shiro's infuriating face, looking like she wanted to tear him to shreds.
After a long while, Fumino Furuhashi calmed down and said softly, "Could it be... Hayakawa-san, do you go to bed so late every day?"
"No, not really,"
Hayakawa Shiro raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment, then said, "It's usually around 1 a.m., I'm too sleepy by 2 a.m.
"It's already 1 a.m., which is quite late!"
Fumino Furuhashi's voice rose a little, her eyes fixed on Hayakawa, and she said with a guilty and reluctant tone, "Hayakawa-san, tell me honestly, did you stay up so late to prepare study materials for me and Rizu-chan?"
"..."
Hayakawa Shiro paused for a moment before realizing, "So that's why you came."
"Of course!"
Fumino Furuhashi pursed her lips, her face somber, and said, "I must have felt sad and guilty when I saw your reply this morning."
"Uh... then why are you acting all aggressive? You clearly came here to thank me?"
Hayakawa Haku, recalling how Furuhashi Fumino had pinned him against the wall earlier, said in a strange tone, "I thought you were going to hit me."
Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi blushed and said shyly, "Who told you to look like that and say such strange things..."
"Ugh…"
Hayakawa Shiro sighed helplessly and waved his hand, saying, "You don't need to think about it. I used to stay up late all the time before you guys were here. Staying up a little longer won't make a difference. Preparing your notes won't take long."
"How can that be done!"
Fumino Furuhashi replied without hesitation, "Hayakawa-kun, do you know the minimum amount of sleep a healthy 16-year-old needs? It needs to be six hours! You definitely haven't reached that!"
Hayakawa Shiro silently turned her head away: "I'll be catching up on sleep for a long time on Saturdays and Sundays, so it's okay."
"That's impossible. The energy you've lost from not getting enough sleep is gone; it can't be made up for in a day or two."
Fumino Furuhashi frowned, reaching out to grab Hayakawa Shiro's shoulders so she could look him in the eye and see the tired dark circles under his eyes. Her tone softened instantly as she said, "Hayakawa-kun... if you don't get some sleep, I'll feel really guilty and won't be able to use the notes you gave me with a clear conscience... I'm sure Rizu feels the same way."
Her blue-sky-like eyes looked intently at Hayakawa, conveying her stubbornness completely to the person in front of her.
Hayakawa Shiro's eyes darted around, unwilling to meet the girl's gaze. In those clear, bright eyes was a natural kindness and guilt, gratitude and appreciation, as well as a tender heartache and unease, completely different from the jealousy and malice that filled her own eyes.
"..."
Hayakawa Shiro scratched his head: "Okay, I am a bit sleepy lately. I should sleep more, otherwise my listening efficiency during the day will be affected."
"Yes, that's exactly how it should be!"
Fumino Furuhashi's eyes lit up, and she said with satisfaction, then looked at Hayakawa warily: "Don't try to fool me, I'll find a way to monitor you anytime, anywhere."
"Let's stop here..."
Hayakawa said something expressionlessly.
Is he a stalker? To actually monitor what time someone goes to sleep? Even a normal stalker wouldn't go to that extent.
Chapter Six: The Genius and [X] Share Common Interests
"In short, you definitely can't go without enough sleep every day. Hayakawa-kun, you're still at the age where you're growing, and this kind of sleep schedule won't help you grow taller."
Fumino Furuhashi wasn't angry at Hayakawa's disdainful look and continued rambling on, "I'll tell Rizu about this, so you better be prepared."
"Are you my sister?!"
Hayakawa Shiro's expression shifted slightly, then she turned to leave, saying, "Alright, I understand. Class is about to start, I need to go back."
"it is good…"
Fumino Furuhashi initially wanted to agree, but when she saw Hayakawa Shiro's tired face, which was struggling to stay awake, she immediately realized that her act of calling him out to talk seemed to be taking up his only time to sleep after class. Instantly, Fumino's heart was filled with guilt.
As if possessed, she reached out and grabbed Hayakawa's arm: "Wait a minute."
"Ok?"
Hayakawa Shiro looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Want to skip class together?"
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa and earnestly suggested, "Shall we find a place to sleep?"
Hayakawa Shiro: "..."
"what??"
Hayakawa Shiro silently took a step back, staring blankly at the blue-haired girl in front of her: "What? You said you'd skip class and sleep with me??"
"No, no, no!!"
Fumino Furuhashi blushed furiously, waving her hands frantically, "That's not what I meant! Hayakawa misunderstood!"
"I originally thought you were a pure and innocent literary girl, but I didn't expect you to be so proactive and so unscrupulous. You seem to have frivolous thoughts on your mind so easily."
Hayakawa Shiro looked at Furuhashi with a disappointed expression, shook his head and said, "Furuhashi, we are students, we should focus on our studies."
"I already said no!!"
Fumino Furuhashi's eyes darted around like mosquito coils, and she looked like she was about to faint. She closed her eyes and said loudly, "I saw that you were too sleepy and wanted you to skip a class and catch up on sleep, but I was afraid you would feel uneasy skipping class alone, so I said we should go together! I didn't mean to go out to sleep with you."
"Uh... I see."
Hayakawa Shiro said expressionlessly, "What you said is very misleading."
"Your associations are so misleading! Why would you think of going there so quickly? They just wanted you to get some rest, and you had to come up with such thoughts! You pervert!"
Fumino Furuhashi had clearly lost her mind; having just successfully explained herself, she blurted out a tirade against Hayakawa: "What kind of person would think of that?! I thought your thinking was weird when you were replying to the message earlier! H!!"
"Um…"
Hayakawa Shiro was rendered speechless by Furuhashi's accusations and fell into deep thought.
I made two misjudgments in a short period of time. Is there really something wrong with my thinking?
Does that mean I'm very...?
"I'm not going to talk to you about this!"
Seeing Hayakawa bow her head and remain silent, looking like she was admitting defeat, Fumino Furuhashi became even more aggressive: "I'm asking you now, do you want to go to sleep or not!"
Hayakawa Shiro: O_O
Hayakawa Shiro: "Definitely not."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
"What does it matter! It's just one class!"
"I need to study."
"Ugh! I've had enough, I'm not going to care about Hayakawa anymore!"
"..."
As the two were arguing, a silver-haired girl who had been eavesdropping from behind a corner not far away smiled slightly and then left.
……
Hayakawa-kun is very clueless about romance.
Fumino Furuhashi was absolutely certain of this, and she had countless pieces of evidence to back it up.
Recently, I was just trying to help Hayakawa, who has an irregular sleep schedule, out of shame, but he misunderstood and misinterpreted my actions, and then firmly rejected me.
This made Gu Qiao very angry. Although she often called herself a stupid fish louse and was indeed fish louse-level in science, she was still very clear about the fact that she was a beautiful girl. After all, she was not the kind of green tea who would say, "Huh? I'm pretty? How could that be? I'm not pretty at all."
Then, despite her kind invitation, Hayakawa Shiro directly refused, saying, "I need to study."
That's bad enough, but what's most infuriating is that last night, I mustered up the courage to share my feelings with him: my love for stars, and the reason I chose science, and Hayakawa's response was...
"What thoughts and feelings does this passage express? (4 points)"
Fumino Furuhashi felt she would remember this incident for the rest of her life.
Hayakawa, that clueless airhead, will probably never find a girlfriend in his entire life.
"Hey, Kohashi,"
Hayakawa Shiro tapped the library table with his finger, startling Furuhashi out of her reverie, and said, "Be serious, don't get distracted."
Look, here it comes again.
Fumino Furuhashi felt aggrieved, but on the surface she kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'll look at the questions carefully right away."
"Really,"
Hayakawa Haku glanced at Furuhashi Fumino, then turned back to continue explaining the problem to Ogata Risu.
"Kiss, kiss..."
Fumino Furuhashi wanted to concentrate on the math problem, but the constant voice of Shiro Hayakawa next to her made it impossible for her to focus.
"Well…"
Fumino Furuhashi hesitated for a long time, then, seeing that Hayakawa Haku had finished explaining the questions and was about to look at the test paper, she reached out and gently poked him, whispering, "Hayakawa..."
"Ok?"
Hayakawa Haku was a little confused, but then Furuhashi Fumino leaned over and whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids, "Hayakawa, what do you think about my liking for stars that I told you last night?"
Hayakawa paused for a moment, then frowned.
What do you think? You'd definitely think it's an idiotic hobby. As a normal, healthy, and rational Japanese high school student, shouldn't you be focused on your studies and working hard? Instead, you're paying attention to those untouchable and ethereal celestial bodies in the sky and the universe. Isn't that the most foolish and boring thing to do?
Hayakawa Haku doesn't understand and doesn't respect him.
I don't like it at all.
Hayakawa Shiro was about to say that when, just as he was about to utter the words, a warning bell suddenly rang in his mind, and he realized that great danger was imminent.
Wait! !
This statement hides a crisis!
Hayakawa Shiro suddenly slammed on the brakes, swallowing his words back down.
It's obvious to anyone with common sense that a normal person would want their hobbies to be popular with their peers, especially the rarer and more niche the hobby.
If your hobbies are not respected or even ridiculed by others, it is very likely to dampen your enthusiasm, and in the worst case, you may even gradually give up on this hobby.
Upon realizing this, Hayakawa Shiro broke out in a cold sweat.
If I were to say something like "Only an idiot would like stars" here, then...
Guqiao: "So my hobby isn't respected at all. I feel a bit disillusioned..."
Gu Qiao: "I might as well not study astronomy and go back to studying humanities."
