Before the physical fitness test, a form is given out, and then you participate in each item and fill in the numbers. After the physical fitness test, the forms are submitted to the school. Whoever finishes the fastest can go back to the classroom earlier.

So Hayakawa decided to go back to study as soon as possible, and went to the indoor gymnasium first.

Chapter 229 Love and Ichika

There were quite a few people in the stadium at this time. Hayakawa looked at the long queue, sighed, and silently went to the back, taking out his small vocabulary notebook to read while waiting.

Meanwhile, some of the other students in line were secretly looking at their phones, while others were chatting and laughing with their friends and classmates, making the line noisy. Hayakawa, however, kept his head down and calmly looked at his notebook.

In this lively and harmonious atmosphere, only Hayakawa stood out like a reef protruding from the rapids, lonely and unyielding.

This scene would probably make any peer who saw him think he was pretentious. It's likely that someone like Hayakawa, a "king of currying off," would have a hard time making friends in a student group with a lower average age.

And that was indeed the case. Before high school, Hayakawa had never had any real friends. In the end, he didn't even understand what the definition of a friend was. Although he pretended to be kind and friendly, deep down he felt that he was not on the same path as others.

Hayakawa was happy with having no friends. As someone destined for greatness and destined to become a beneficiary of the system, he neither wanted friends nor believed he would ever have any real friends.

always like this.

Hayakawa slowly and attentively looked at the words he had read countless times, memorizing them one by one.

Compared to science subjects like Chinese literature, which require more talent, English is slightly simpler. You just need to memorize and recite it. Even if you are not a very smart person, as long as you are willing to spend a lot of time improving your vocabulary, you can still achieve a good score. In short, English is the subject with the highest probability and the easiest way to get a perfect score. However, it requires a lot of time to accumulate knowledge and perseverance.

Hayakawa has no shortage of this, so he has always kept his vocabulary book with him since junior high school. Whenever he has free time, he will take it out to look at it. Over the years, the words in the book have been changed batch after batch, but his indifferent gaze has remained unchanged.

Over the years, even though he memorizes slowly and often forgets, he still has a vocabulary far exceeding that of his peers.

In short, English is probably Hayakawa's most confident subject, as he often gets full marks. He is confident even when facing Fumino Furuhashi. However, there is still a significant gap between their other humanities subjects, which means he always falls short.

It's so painful...

Hayakawa sighed slightly, reflecting on his slow progress, and continued reading his notebook.

……

"Nino, you go over there with your friend first, I'm going to the gymnasium."

Nakano Ichika said to Nino, then whispered teasingly, "If I see Hayakawa-san, I'll text you on my phone."

"Well…"

A blush flashed across Nino's face, and she said, embarrassed and annoyed, "It's better to be a busybody than to meddle in other people's business!"

"Let's go!"

After saying that, Nino stomped her foot and left with her friends.

Nakano Ichika watched Nino's departing figure, shaking her head slightly and sighing softly, "Girls in love are really something..."

But isn't this pretty good too?

As Ichika walked into the gymnasium, she pondered her own thoughts.

She remembered that not long after she transferred to high school, she was full of thoughts about having a sweet romance. At that time, Nino was more focused on idol dramas and celebrities online and seemed uninterested in boys her age. But now everything has changed. Nino is deeply in love and can't extricate herself, while she herself has changed a lot about love and relationships because of the fact that Yotsuba and Nino both like the same person.

Although I still have little interest in studying, I've become much more clear-headed about relationships.

What exactly is love? Is it mandatory for high school students to have a relationship?

What exactly are you thinking?

Do I truly enjoy the sweet feeling of being with someone I love, or do I yearn for the dramatic, heart-wrenching, and tragic love stories depicted in dramas and romance novels? Or perhaps…

Do you like H-related things?

Yihua blushed slightly, silently smoothing her short hair to clear her mind.

I can't remember what I was thinking before... but it's worth mentioning that I witnessed Yotsuba's experience firsthand, which caused Ichika to have complicated feelings about love.

She would spend all day glued to her phone, following someone's news, instead of going out to exercise and laughing carefree like before. She would sit on the edge of the balcony, staring blankly out the window, watching the sunset for a long, long time, until the sky was still and the stars filled the sky.

That forlorn look was something Ichika had never seen in Yotsuba's eyes before.

The thing that Ichika couldn't stand the most was that one day Nino was lying on the sofa on the first floor texting someone, and couldn't help but show a sweet smile, her eyebrows and eyes narrowed like crescent moons. Yotsuba happened to come downstairs at that moment and saw this scene. She was stunned for a moment, and then looked in other directions as if nothing had happened. She stood on the stairs for a long time before muttering to herself, "Why haven't they eaten yet?"

But it was only 10 a.m., and there was still a long time before lunch.

Ichika was sitting on a chair next to the sofa at the time, and after witnessing this scene, she really…

I can't stand watching.

I can't stand watching it at all.

Seeing her younger sister Yotsuba like this made Ichika feel depressed. She felt both heartache and fear, but also an irrepressible curiosity.

Love is so painful, so destructive, so addictive, yet so beautiful, that once you're in love, you'll fall deeply in love and never forget it.

"Ugh…"

Yihua sighed softly. Witnessing firsthand the devastation that love can cause is far more shocking than reading romance novels or comics.

Thinking of this, Ichika Nakano became even more vigilant, determined not to fall into the same painful state of love as Yotsuba and Nino.

Miss Ichika must become a rational and mature woman, not someone driven by romance, and must never be attracted to someone like Hayakawa.

But really, what's so great about Hayakawa? Why do both of my younger sisters like him?

He has a nice face and good grades, but he's a really boring person. He doesn't talk much and doesn't know how to speak properly. He also always has a stern face and isn't gentle at all. Most importantly, he's always thinking about studying and is like a bookworm. He's not interesting at all.

Why would someone like this be so popular?

It's understandable that Nino likes him, after all, Nino is a love-struck prodigy who doesn't listen to reason and is also a looks-obsessed person, probably more attracted to Hayakawa's appearance. She was saved in a crisis before, so it's normal for her to fall in love.

But Yotsuba is different. She's always been uninterested in romantic relationships and never watches idol dramas, so why is she so deeply infatuated...

Is it really because of my experience in elementary school?

Chapter 230 The Heart of a Flower

Yotsuba is such a pure-hearted child... She can still remember the feelings from elementary school.

Ichika thought of her younger sister, who was both pitiful and frustrating, and shook her head gently with some emotion.

However, although Yotsuba likes Hayakawa, she feels that Hayakawa is too dull and not a suitable romantic partner.

I really don't know what Yotsuba was thinking~

As Yihua walked into the gymnasium, she was stunned when she looked up. At the very end of the long line for the physical fitness test, she saw a familiar, slender and tall figure standing there.

Although it was just a view from behind, Ichika recognized who it was at a glance.

Hayakawa.

Ichika's eyes widened slightly as the person she had just been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of her.

Nakano Ichika blushed slightly. One second she was making some impolite comments about Hayakawa in her mind, and the next second he was right in front of her, which made her feel a little guilty.

What is he doing?

Ichika noticed that Hayakawa was looking down, seemingly engrossed in something, and out of curiosity, she quietly walked over.

After all, he's someone who might become my brother-in-law in the future, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to keep a little attention to him, right?

As Ichika pondered this, she secretly glanced at Hayakawa.

The sunlight overhead in the stadium was a bit dazzling. When Xiaohua looked at Hayakawa's face, she could only see a dark shadow. His calm face was like a blank chessboard, exuding a detached and cold silence.

"..."

Yihua's heart inexplicably raced, and she involuntarily straightened her body, her slender waist suddenly feeling the strain.

The five sisters all have the same figure, with branches sprouting and fruits ripening, the kind that would make Fumino Furuhashi extremely envious, and Ichika is the same.

At this moment, she straightened her back, and the curves of her body became breathtakingly beautiful, like a flower in full bloom.

The girl cautiously approached Hayakawa, wanting to see what he was doing. But when she saw what Hayakawa was holding, she immediately pouted and showed a lack of interest.

I knew this bookworm only had studying on his mind.

Ichika looked somewhat disappointed. She would have found it more amusing if Hayakawa had been browsing the internet like other students, even watching videos of attractive women on UTB, and then being caught and displaying that embarrassed and shy expression.

The result is that you get so engrossed in studying that you don't even have a chance to make fun of yourself.

"Hayakawa-kun,"

With that thought in mind, she smiled and greeted him suddenly, as if waking someone from a deep sleep, "Hello!"

"..."

Hayakawa looked up blankly, staring blankly in the direction the voice came from. After a long while, she finally reacted and said, "Ichika."

"What do you mean by 'Ichika'?"

Ichika was somewhat annoyed by Hayakawa's reaction, as if he had seen a stranger and needed to recall before recognizing her, and said, "You've been to my house before, haven't you?"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa felt embarrassed when he remembered being carried home by Yotsuba after getting drunk last time. He quietly changed the subject, saying, "Your class is also having physical tests? What a coincidence."

He would never forget that humiliating experience, and it was still fresh in his memory. After all, it seemed that his Dao heart had suffered a major problem because of his indulgence in drinking that night, and he was still often swayed by the females around him. Indeed, one cannot relax one's will in the slightest.

"Oh, your reaction."

Hayakawa's uncomfortable reaction surprised Ichika, who, unusually, became interested, her eyes brightening slightly.

This guy seems to be holding a grudge about his last visit to my house!

Hayakawa-san's weakness revealed!!

"what happened?"

Hayakawa, with a nonchalant poker face, asked, "Is there a problem with me?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Ichika smiled and waved her hand, then said, "It's not just me who's here for the physical fitness test, Nino is too today. We'll all be running together later."

"Nino is here too."

Hayakawa said calmly, "We're not running together, after all, I'm running the 1000 meters."

"Hayakawa-kun didn't react much to the mention of 1,000 meters, as if he was handling it with ease."

Looking at Hayakawa's expression, Ichika asked curiously, "Are you in very good health?"

"Uh... what should the normal reaction be?"

Hayakawa was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"When the boys and girls in our class heard about the physical fitness test, they all groaned in despair."

Ichika frankly said, "The main reason is this kilometer."

Hayakawa asked, bewildered, "Why?"

"Because I'm tired, and also embarrassed,"

Ichika frowned slightly and said in an exaggerated tone, "Because you have to run a thousand meters, it's very hard and tiring, right? Then you'll be very tired, right? Then you'll be sweating and panting. When the boys finish running, they'll be so tired that they'll collapse on the ground. If you run too slowly, you'll feel like the students on the side of the track are laughing at you. If you don't get good grades, you'll be even more embarrassed. Also, you'll definitely sweat after running, and your makeup will be affected, which is very unseemly."

"So that's it."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "Luckily, I don't wear makeup and I'm not out of breath."

"No~"

Upon hearing this, Ichika Nakano puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Are you showing off your good physical fitness and mocking me for being bad at sports?"

"No..."

Hayakawa was somewhat helpless, but after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Yotsuba participated in the physical fitness test yesterday."

"Ah, yes."

Yihua was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then turned back to his vocabulary book: "Nothing."

Nakano Ichika: "..."

So you're just ignoring me now?
