Fumino Furuhashi puffed out her cheeks and couldn't help but say sarcastically, "That's great, isn't it? You must be so happy to be confessed to by a girl."
"Uh…"
After a brief moment of shock, Hayakawa sneered, "It's not like it's anything good, so why should I be happy?"
"Having a girl confess her feelings to you is a sign of being popular."
Fumino Furuhashi glanced at Ogata beside her and noticed that Ogata's expression had changed after hearing about Hayakawa being confessed to by a girl. Ogata seemed a little downcast, keeping her head down and sipping her noodle soup in silence.
For some reason, Gu Qiao suddenly became even angrier.
"So what?"
Hayakawa sneered. "Will being popular raise my ranking? Absolutely not. I will swim freely in the ocean of knowledge, constantly climbing towards the highest peak. No evil can stand in my way."
"so what?"
Fumino Furuhashi felt extremely aggrieved and couldn't control the strange feeling in her heart, so she pretended to be discussing gossip and casually asked, "What kind of girl is she? Is she cute?"
Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Farce
"That woman..."
Hayakawa's expression hardened slightly. He recalled Natsukawa Masuzu's unfathomable face, and his expression darkened considerably. Looking at Furuhashi, he said with absolute certainty, "Without a doubt, she is a blue-faced, fanged person... No! She can't even be described as a woman. She should be called a monster, a greedy beast."
Hayakawa's expression was solemn as he described the image of Natsukawa Masuzu in his mind: "He weighs at least 200 pounds, his distorted features remind me of the gargoyle statues hanging upside down under the eaves of the Wizard Tower, his bloated body is like an artificial human pieced together from the limbs of different animals, and his personality is also visibly vicious to the level of chemical weapons, to the point that it would not be too much to be euthanized even by humane means."
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself, "Is this really a human description? It reminds me of Frankenstein. By the way, do we really have girls like that at our school?"
However, I still felt relieved.
Even if Hayakawa's description is exaggerated, she would never be a cute girl if she were described like this.
So this love farce is probably over. After all, Hayakawa has me... and a cute girl like Rizu by his side. His taste will definitely be better.
Well, although I don't really care whether Hayakawa is in a relationship or not, it's true that being in a relationship can affect studies, and I don't want Hayakawa to go astray. It wouldn't be good if it affected my and Rizu's teaching.
"call…"
Fumino Furuhashi muttered a few words to herself, and her mood improved somewhat.
"The udon noodles were pretty good today too."
Rizu Ogata picked up her chopsticks, wiped them with a paper, and continued eating peacefully. The atmosphere at the table changed from the previous tension back to a relaxed and comfortable one.
Let's study hard tonight too.
Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself, but still asked with some unease, "By the way, you probably won't agree, will you?"
Rizu Ogata put down her chopsticks again.
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa flew into a rage, looking as if he had been insulted: "Huh? I would rather jump off this cliff than accept her confession!"
"What kind of strange self-designation is that..."
Fumino Furuhashi paused for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "But that puts my mind at ease."
Gu Qiao felt a little more at ease, lowered her head and took a couple of bites of her set meal, but found it tasteless. The mixed feelings in her heart made her look somewhat lonely.
She was a little uneasy.
From the moment he met Hayakawa, he saw him as someone who, despite having excellent grades, good looks, and many other advantages, had shockingly low emotional intelligence. Therefore, in Furuhashi's eyes, Hayakawa was someone who "would definitely never find a girlfriend in the future."
However, he was suddenly confessed to by a girl. Even though he described the girl as someone who was repulsive, she was still a girl. Being confessed to by a girl of the opposite sex of the same age in high school was somewhat impressive. Many people never get confessed to in their entire lives.
This shattered Guqiao's long-held beliefs, causing her to feel a sense of crisis.
Hmm... it's about a sense of crisis regarding learning.
Fumino Furuhashi hesitated for a long time, a blush creeping onto her delicate face. She lowered her head and nervously ate a few mouthfuls of rice before casually saying, "It seems like a pretty good movie came out recently, just a couple of days ago."
After Furuhashi finished speaking, his gaze fell on Hayakawa. Hayakawa didn't even look up, keeping his head down and concentrating on eating, his slightly bright eyes fixed on the vocabulary book.
Furuhashi looked somewhat helplessly at Ogata beside her and asked, "Do you know, Ri-chan?"
"Game World 2, right?"
Ogata's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I know that too!"
See, even those who don't follow entertainment news know this.
Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa again and noticed that he had slightly raised his head, drawing her attention.
"I really want to see it! Tomorrow is a rest day, and there will be a lot of people and tickets will be hard to get. After the rest day, there won't be such a good time anymore, and it might even be relocated. I really want to go."
Fumino Furuhashi pursed her lips, looking regretful: "But I feel it's a bit dangerous for a girl like me to go alone at night."
Gu Qiao's fingers twirled around the blue hair as she whispered, "If someone went with me..."
Her voice was soft, as if she were just talking to herself unintentionally, and her eyes were darting around, not daring to look at the boy across from her, for fear that he would see through her thoughts.
She wanted to go to the movies with Hayakawa.
Of course it wasn't a date, just friends going to see a movie. It might sound a bit ambiguous, but no, it's just a bit cautious. After all, Hayakawa is already certain he'll reject her confession tonight. Rejecting a girl's confession will inevitably make him feel a little strange, and it wouldn't be good if he developed romantic feelings for her or Riko later.
So I should take him to see a movie, to prepare for the worst and smooth over his unusual mood. It's my responsibility as a student, and I would definitely do it without hesitation.
Fumino Furuhashi mentally filled in the gaps in her understanding, then looked expectantly at Hayakawa's reaction.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa tilted his head, his face blank, like a Buddha statue in a dilapidated temple whose face was obscured, with an expression that said, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
"I...I...I'll go with you!"
Ogata Rizu suddenly became excited, her face flushed, and said defiantly, "Fumino, I'll go with you tonight! Take me with you!"
Riko... I'd love to go out with you too, but please don't cause any trouble right now.
Fumino Furuhashi remained expressionless, then said, "Rika-chan, didn't you say you were going to help out at your family's udon noodle shop tonight? You didn't have time to come to the movies."
"Oh...right..."
Ogata Rizu's mood instantly sombered, and she said softly with some regret, "It looks like we can't go."
I'm so sorry for abandoning you, Ri-chan.
Fumino Furuhashi felt ashamed and gritted her teeth, refusing to look at the science-loving girl: I'll take you out to play on my day off, but please wait a bit for now.
But thinking about it carefully, you were the one who abandoned me on the tram first, so if anyone was in the wrong, it was you.
Thinking this, the girl looked at Hayakawa, only to see that after a brief moment of confusion, he looked relieved and casually lowered his head to continue studying.
You're so relieved! Do you even understand what I'm saying?
"Hayakawa, are you free tonight?"
Fumino Furuhashi's anger flared, and she abandoned her composure, her tone slightly sharp: "If you have time, come with me tonight!"
Hayakawa was startled. Recalling their previous conversation, he hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking, "Is this a challenge to a fight... or a confession?"
"None of them!"
Gu Qiao trembled; she felt the demon sleeping deep within her was about to awaken.
With an incomprehensible willpower, Fumino Furuhashi forced a gentle smile onto her beautiful face, which was forged from millennia of ice. She said softly, "I just really wanted to go to the movies. I was afraid of danger, so I asked you to come with me. Please come with me."
Her tone left no room for argument, her wide eyes fixed on Hayakawa's face, clearly angered by Hayakawa's repeated behavior.
Hayakawa said thoughtfully, "Oh... Oh, is that so? I really want to go see it."
Oh my god, how dare I! I actually forced a guy to go to the movies... I'm utterly shameless.
"Yes...yes,"
Fumino Furuhashi's face flushed, but seeing that Hayakawa's expression seemed to be changing, she was secretly pleased. Even though she felt a little ashamed, she still tried her best to whisper, "I want to go see that movie, but Ri-chan has something to do, so she can't come with me. I have no choice but to go with Hayakawa. Please don't misunderstand."
After saying that, she turned her head away, her face burning hot as if it had just been boiled.
"What movie?"
Hayakawa was somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "You really want to see this?"
Didn't I just say that?! So you weren't even listening?!
Fumino Furuhashi's forehead veins bulged, indicating that her demonic awakening was at 80%.
"Game World 2,"
Ogata, standing next to him, said with a longing look, "The first one I saw was my favorite movie. I never expected there would be a sequel now."
"Unfortunately, I have to help out at the shop tonight, so I won't be able to see the sequel right away."
As Ogata spoke, the regret on his little face was hard to hide.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa looked at Ogata's pitiful, unwilling expression, then glanced at the old bridge beside him and said, "Do you really want to see that much?"
Ogata did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.
Fumino Furuhashi was thrilled, as if she had finally seen the light after a long night. She suppressed her shame and said, "I really want to see it."
Hayakawa frowned, looking hesitant.
Fumino Furuhashi stared at Hayakawa in front of her, her heart pounding. She clutched her chest with one hand, her sky-like eyes sparkling with a strange light.
Take me to the movies tonight!
She said urgently in her heart.
"Hmph~"
Hayakawa suddenly raised his lips slightly, revealing a smile.
That one smile made all the flowers in Fumino Furuhashi's inner garden bloom.
Hayakawa…
Time seemed to stand still. She covered her joyful heartbeat, her eyes fixed on the smiling boy in front of her.
I…
"Forget the movie theater, I'll find the resources online."
Hayakawa waved his hand dramatically, exuding the air of a Mongol Khan surveying his domain: "We're not studying tonight, we're watching a movie at home!"
Fumino Furuhashi's smile froze.
Eh...no...huh?
what happened?
"Oh? Really?!"
Rizu Ogata's face lit up with surprise: "Can we see it tonight?!"
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
Hayakawa leaned back strategically, gave himself a thumbs-up, and said smugly, "You surfing pros, I can find uncensored versions for you guys in no time. You can play them on your big screen at home, buy some snacks, and watch them while eating dinner. Isn't that better than watching movies outside?"
"Ahhh! That's amazing!"
Rizu Ogata cheered with joy, her eyes filled with delight as she looked at Hayakawa.
Fumino Furuhashi: "...This isn't so bad...Well, that's fine then..."
"Long live!"
“Ahahahahaha, Ahahahahahaha!”
Amidst Ogata Riju's cheers and adoring gaze, Hayakawa, brimming with confidence, let out a bold and unrestrained smile.
Amidst this deafening laughter, Guqiao lost all of the girl's fantasies.
……
Good study time always passes quickly, and before long it was time to go home.
