Ichika breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

When she arrived at the school gate and saw Hayakawa's terrifying expression, she almost thought he had a terminal illness. He was just staying up late.

"I haven't slept for days."

Yihua casually inquired.

"Um…"

Hayakawa yawned and squinted, saying, "I can't quite remember, but it should have been five or six days."

"You're going to die!"

Ichika was dumbfounded, standing frozen in place.

"Hello, is this an ambulance? Can you come quickly? There is a student here at the gate of Ichinose Gakuen who needs emergency assistance."

Yotsuba pulled out her phone and said urgently.

“Don’t make a fuss, okay?”

Hayakawa interrupted the two women with a gesture of his hand, and said expressionlessly, "Six days without sleep is nothing new to me."

"There's no way I'd get used to this..."

Ichika's throat bobbed slightly. She had read books about sleep before and knew that humans who didn't sleep for 20 days were basically close to death.

In other words, Hayakawa has already walked a quarter of the way to death…

Rounding it off, that's equivalent to losing 20 years of your lifespan!

"No, no, no!"

Yotsuba shook her head in shock, saying helplessly, "Hayakawa-san, you should go home right now and get some sleep, otherwise something really bad is going to happen!"

"Huh? That won't do."

Hayakawa frowned upon hearing this and refused without hesitation: "Tomorrow is the final exam, and tonight is the most important time for review. How can I possibly sleep?"

After he finished speaking, he yawned again.

Ichika and Yotsuba both fell silent. The final exams for the first year of high school had always been two subjects per day, so it would take four days in total, ending on the morning of the fourth day. And given Hayakawa's personality, he would definitely stay up late to study for those four nights.

That means he will stay up all night for another four days.

4 + 59, rounded up to ten days, means we've already gone halfway down the road to death.

People are really going to die!

Ichika and Yotsuba exchanged a glance, then looked at Hayakawa's deathly pale face, vaguely realizing that a special case was about to occur at Ichinose School, and it was very likely to happen during the exam.

"Breaking news! Excessive exam pressure at a high school has led to a student's death from exhaustion during the exam!"

"The principal has resigned to take responsibility, and the education authorities have decided to deal with this matter seriously."

This definitely won’t work.

Ichika and Yotsuba are both good children. They don't want any deaths to happen at school, nor do they want Hayakawa to die. Their first thought is to stop Hayakawa from staying up late to study and let him get some rest.

However, stopping Hayakawa is an extremely difficult task. The two of them have spent a considerable amount of time with him and have a certain understanding of him.

Hayakawa is usually a very easy-going person. He doesn't care about most things, such as food and drinks or borrowing money, which is taboo for high school students. However, as long as the content is not related to his studies, Hayakawa will immediately become incredibly stubborn, the kind of person who can't be persuaded by even a few oxen.

At times like this, trying to dissuade him with earnest reasoning is pointless; only special methods will work.

then…

"Hayakawa-kun is really amazing. I didn't expect him to study so hard before the exam."

Ichika smiled and praised Hayakawa, "Your grades will definitely improve a lot this time."

"Ok!"

Hayakawa straightened his back a little more instantly, and although his expression didn't change, it was obvious that he was a little happy.

Seeing this, Yotsuba pressed her advantage, saying, "But just studying hard isn't enough. Getting enough rest is also part of reviewing. If you're well-rested now, you can concentrate fully and give it your all during tomorrow's exam, right?"

Hayakawa's expression shifted upon hearing this, as if he thought it made some sense, but after a couple of seconds he shook his head and said, "It's alright, my willpower is boundless and will never wither."

"..."

Liar! The fatigue in your eyes is almost overflowing; you look like you're about to die at any moment!

"Okay, I'm going home to study now."

Hayakawa waved his hand and said, "You two should go home too. Do your best on the exam tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Then, the moment Hayakawa turned around, his body suddenly swayed.

It swayed a little…

As if about to fall, she barely managed to stand up straight again, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, heading towards the road not far ahead.

Cars came and went on the road at incredible speeds.

Ichika and Yotsuba: "..."

Chapter 495 The Girl Who Was Confessed To

Seeing this, Ichika and Yotsuba fell silent, their eyes gradually losing their luster.

It looks like the death incident won't have to wait until the exam. Judging from his condition, he'll probably wander into the middle of the road in a daze and get hit by a car.

Great! This time the school won't be implicated, and the mustachioed principal won't have to resign.

"What should I do, what should I do..."

Yotsuba is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If she tries to persuade him, he definitely won't listen. If she doesn't try to persuade him, he might die at any moment.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Yotsuba was in a state of panic, Ichika, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and stopped Hayakawa from leaving.

"What?"

Hayakawa turned around, his body swaying slightly, his eyes barely open, looking nothing like someone who could possibly go home alone.

"Hayakawa-kun, the final exams are tomorrow, but Yotsuba and I are having a really bad time studying, so we've been very worried these past few days."

Ichika first looked worried, then said with expectant eyes, "You are the best teacher I have ever met, so if possible, could you tutor me and Yotsuba for one night tonight?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa first frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse such a boring thing that would waste his time, but then hesitated.

If it were anything else, I would definitely refuse a hundred million times, but it's studying, so it's hard to say. Ichika and Yotsuba are both considered academic failures. Not only are they not very bright, but they also don't study hard for even a day or two, as if it's going to kill them. But now they're reviewing before the exam, so it seems they've realized the importance of taking initiative. That's really something.

It's rare for the two of them to be so thoughtful, and Hayakawa doesn't want to let them down.

Besides, I did teach both of them, so if they didn't do well on the exam because they didn't study enough, it might affect me in the end.

For example, in this scenario:

"4 points, 6 points! 8 points!"

"Ichika and Yotsuba, your grades are still so terrible! Do you really study hard? Do you leave your brains at home every day before school?"

"Hey, that's strange. I studied hard at home before the exam and even hired a tutor, so why are my grades still so bad?"

"Huh? They even hired a tutor? Who is it? Isn't it completely useless?"

"It's Hayakawa-san."

"What? Is it that brilliant, brave, and virtuous King Ichinose from Class B—Hayakawa-kun?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

"I didn't expect that he would be the one teaching you, yet your grades are still so bad. It seems that Hayakawa-kun didn't teach you seriously."

"We used to think he was a top student with both good character and talent, but now it seems we were wrong."

"What a scumbag..."

Doesn't this all become my responsibility?!

Hayakawa felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart as he imagined this scene, and he gripped his chest tightly.

No, these two people pose no threat to me on the academic leaderboard, but they could ruin my reputation at school.

We must take some action.

"Cough cough..."

Hayakawa coughed lightly, looking at Ichika expressionlessly, and said, "I can't help it, I'm really worried about you two studying. With your level, if you study on your own, the knowledge that was originally correct will become ridiculous. So I'll go home with you to study first."

Hayakawa gave in so easily!

Yotsuba was stunned by what she heard, staring blankly at Ichika beside her, her face filled with disbelief.

How could she so accurately pinpoint Hayakawa's personality weakness and then devise a way to make Hayakawa comply? That damn older sister, whose IQ is about the same as hers, is she?

"Ok"

Ichika gave a harmless smile and nodded obediently, but her mind was filled with all sorts of terrifying plans.

Once Hayakawa gets home, make sure he falls asleep quickly.

Was it a direct hit on the head, or was it a sneaky slip of sleeping pills into his tea?

"Then let's hurry up and take the tram back."

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Yihua became anxious and urged, "Or we could just take a taxi back instead of the tram."

"No need, I can take the tram."

Hayakawa calmly shook his head and followed Ichika and Yotsuba toward the train station.

……

Train stations are quite crowded during the evening rush hour, but fortunately, the Ichinose High School line is mostly used by students because there are many schools nearby, and fewer office workers ride it. Therefore, even during the morning and evening rush hours, it is still common to be able to find a seat.

Hayakawa and her two companions found a row of seats that could seat three people. There were not many Ichinose students around, and most importantly, no one they knew, which put Ichika at ease.

She was quite popular at school, and if everyone she knew saw her and the Yotsuba sisters sitting in a row with Hayakawa, chatting and laughing, rumors would probably spread at school about "sisters sharing a husband" or "having a harem," which would be terrible.

After sitting down, the three of them started chatting.

Ichika and Yotsuba naturally chatted about the interesting things that happened to them at school, while Hayakawa, as always, showed little interest in these things and focused intently on his textbook.

"By the way, Yotsuba, I have something to tell you, but don't be scared when you hear it."

As if she had just thought of something, Ichika said to Yotsuba beside her.

Yotsuba is someone whose emotions are easily swayed by others. Upon hearing Ichika's deliberately scary words, she immediately shrank back, her eyes darting away as she said, "Wh...what is it? Can you stop scaring me? We're still on the train."

She thought Ichika was going to tell some scary stories about girls' dormitories, so she quickly reminded Ichika that there were many people on the train and she shouldn't talk about such things in public.

Yihua's expression darkened slightly, and she lowered her head, saying in a sinister tone, "I..."

"babble"

Yotsuba shuddered and instinctively leaned against Hayakawa beside her. Hayakawa looked up at the two girls in confusion, not understanding what they were doing.

Ichihana Hayakawa's attention was drawn to this, and she smiled: "I got confessed to by a boy in my class today, hahaha!"

"Huh? How could it be Qi Ershan?"

Yotsuba's heart was already racing with fright, and her eyes widened when she heard this.

"What's your reaction?"

Ichika puffed out her pink cheeks and said indignantly, "Does Yotsuba think that with my charm, no boy in the class will have a crush on me?"

Chapter 496 Something's Wrong

"No, no, that's not what I meant at all."

Yotsuba shook her head repeatedly, her gaze strange, and said, "It's just that the topic you brought up changed so drastically that I'm having trouble keeping up."

After saying that, Yihua's eyes widened and lit up: "Who is it? Who is it? Someone from your class? How's your relationship with them? Did they agree? Do you already have a boyfriend? Are you already dating?!"

"How could I possibly agree to date her so easily? Besides, I never intended to agree in the first place..."

Ichika pushed Yotsuba away with a hint of disdain, saying expressionlessly, "You wouldn't recognize her even if I told you. I'll point her out to you next time at school."

"Oh."
