Hayakawa noticed something was wrong and suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason: "Be a little more free, ahahaha!"

Oh my, today is such a wonderful day! It's the best day of my life!

Hayakawa couldn't help but smile. Even the usually annoying Furuhashi and Ogata seemed kind and approachable to him, and he wished he could hug and kiss them.

His current mood is like this: to put it simply, even if a dog appeared in front of him now, Hayakawa would be all smiles and invite it to the table for a meal. But if he were in a bad mood, he would definitely kick a dog away if it dared to show up.

恶…

Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata trembled, exchanged a glance, and saw undisguised terror in each other's eyes.

Disgusting...horrible...

What's wrong with Hayakawa-kun today? He's acting so unusually kind, it's not like him at all. Did he win the lottery this weekend?

"What's wrong with you two?"

Hayakawa looked at the two women with a puzzled expression, tapping his knuckles on the table: "What were you talking about just now? Why did you stop talking as soon as I arrived?"

We were just about to ask you what's wrong? You're so different from usual. Please, can you be a little more indifferent like you used to be?

"Um, I was just chatting with Ri-chan..."

Fumino Furuhashi's pretty face stiffened slightly, and she stammered, "We were talking about where to go for our vacation."

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Hayakawa's face. Ogata Riju's gaze also became evasive. All of this was because Hayakawa had never explicitly agreed to the trip between the two of them from beginning to end. Rather, it was the two of them who had been wishing for it all along. Therefore, Furuhashi and Ogata had never dared to openly discuss the specifics of the trip in front of Hayakawa.

however…

"Does that need to be said?"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa slammed his hand on the table and said in an unquestionable manner, "Is there any other choice besides Hokkaido?"

With a single sentence, he resolved a matter that had troubled Ogata Furuhashi for a month, demonstrating the skill of a chess player.

"Ehhhhh?"

Fumino Furuhashi felt a chill run down her spine, and said in a trembling voice, "Hayakawa-kun, you..."

"what happened?"

Hayakawa frowned slightly: "You don't like Hokkaido? Could it be...?"

Hayakawa pondered for a moment, then looked at Furuhashi Michima: "You think Hokkaido is too cold?"

"no!"

Fumino Furuhashi was somewhat exasperated, but managed to calm herself down and look Hayakawa directly in the eyes, her expression serious: "But you never wanted to go on a trip before, Hayakawa, you always..."

"Travel? I'm not going,"

Furuhashi mimicked Hayakawa's usual demeanor, her face hardening like a mahjong tile, and her tone cold and stern: "I'm staying home to study. You can go yourselves if you want... Such a reaction, huh? Why has she completely changed now? Her attitude has turned 180 degrees!"

After saying that, Fumino Furuhashi lay on the table, staring wide-eyed at Hayakawa, wanting a reasonable reply.

"Oh dear, haven't my mindset changed a little these past couple of days?"

Hayakawa scratched his head and laughed smugly: "Thinking about it carefully, I did study a bit too hard before. Lately, I've been feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Studying so intensely has actually reduced the effectiveness of my studies. So, balancing work and rest, going out for a walk or something... doesn't seem so bad! Ahahahaha!"

After saying that, he started laughing wildly again, his head thrown back in a daze, his smugness bordering on abnormal.

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

Well, while what he said makes perfect sense, it's just so unlike Hayakawa. After all, I've never heard him mention being tired before, and I always talk about balancing work and rest. What's worse, he actually seems to really want to go on a trip. This is just...

How abnormal!

Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa in front of her, her throat bobbing slightly.

Something must have happened during this holiday that I don't know about.

……

After dinner, it's Hayakawa's favorite time of day—time to study.

Three people sat in a row on seats in the corner of the library. Hayakawa sat between two girls, making it easier for Furuhashi and the other girl to interrogate her.

In short... rational numbers, irrational numbers... rational and irrational...

Hayakawa kept rambling on and on, while Furuhashi Fumino looked as if she was about to die on the spot.

"Hayakawa-san... wait a minute,"

Fumino Furuhashi stretched out a hand to shield herself, and said with a wronged expression, "If you stuff such a large amount in all at once, I really won't be able to handle it, my brain will break down."

"I think you're about to fall asleep."

Hayakawa looked coldly at the dizzy Furuhashi Fumino in front of her and said in a flat tone, "I can guarantee that you didn't go to bed early last night, and it wasn't because you were studying that you stayed up late, but because you were watching dramas and eating snacks. Am I right?"

"How...how could this be?"

Fumino Furuhashi avoided Hayakawa's gaze guiltily and stammered, "I study hard every night at home."

"is it?"

Hayakawa smiled kindly and pulled a stack of math papers from his backpack: "That's perfect. I've prepared a few sets of tests for you. The scope is what I've been covering recently. Go back and take some tests these next few nights, and I'll see how well you're doing."

"..."

Fumino Furuhashi was pale. This person must be a demon.

She suddenly turned back into her usual self, Hayakawa-kun, even more outrageous than usual. Why don't you change back to your gentle self from before?

"The questions I just explained to you include the homework I assigned last week."

Seeing that his trump card had intimidated Furuhashi, Hayakawa took back the stack of test papers, pulled out only one from it, and said to Furuhashi in an annoyed tone, "I explained the questions to you last week, but you've forgotten them completely. How dare you say you've been studying hard every night?"

"I'm so sorry..."

Fumino Furuhashi's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed, so ashamed that she wanted to immediately strip naked and dogeza (a traditional Chinese swearing gesture) on the library table to apologize.

"never mind,"

Seeing that she looked genuinely repentant, and since he was in a good mood today, Hayakawa didn't bother to scold her. He stuffed the test paper into Furuhashi's hand and said, "One a day. If you have time on the weekend, come over and we'll go over the questions in here."

"I will go, please let me go to your house."

Fumino Furuhashi gratefully accepted the exam paper and carefully tucked it into her bag.

"Hayakawa, Hayakawa."

Riju Ogata, who was standing next to him, suddenly called his name softly.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa turned his head and calmly took out another stack of humanities exam papers from his bag.

I almost forgot about you.

"Waaah... Hey~"

Seeing this, Fumino Furuhashi, who was standing nearby, immediately broke into a gloating smile on her previously miserable face, showing that the so-called unbreakable friendship between the two of them did not exist at all.

"No, not this,"

Ogata Rizu's face paled when she saw the exam paper, and she waved her hands repeatedly, trying to refuse: "I have something I want to tell you."

Hayakawa shoved the test paper into her hands: "Come over this weekend too."

"..."

Riju Ogata stared blankly at the exam paper in her hand, her cute little face devoid of color, as if she would never experience joy again in her life.

Hayakawa felt even more refreshed after tormenting the two girls. Perhaps he had chosen to become their instructor so that he could rightfully take revenge on them. He asked with a smile, "What kind of questions are they?"

"That's not the question."

Rizu Ogata reluctantly put the test paper into her bag, then said, "It's a really popular chocolate parfait sundae that recently opened near the school gate. If you don't mind, let's go buy it together after school."

"Oh, this one?"

Hayakawa thought for a moment and decided it wouldn't hurt to buy one on the way, so he nodded and said, "Sure."

"Ok."

A hint of joy flashed in Ogata Riju's eyes, then she suddenly looked at Furuhashi Fumino as if she had just remembered something: "Fumino can come too."

Why does it sound so much like it was just a side trip to me?

Fumino Furuhashi's face darkened, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Sorry, Riko, I have something important to do today and I need to get home early, so I'll leave first after school. You two go ahead."

"Huh? In such a hurry?"

Ogata was immediately startled and asked with concern, "What exactly happened?"

Hayakawa also looked over, staring intently at the old bridge.

"This...is a bit hard to say,"

Fumino Furuhashi turned her head away somewhat awkwardly: "Don't ask anymore, in short, it's something very important."

This is indeed a very important matter.

How can something as trivial as a teenage girl's weight and body shape management not be important?

Recently, Fumino Furuhashi weighed herself and found that the number was slightly above the normal range. She guessed it was related to the fact that she had been eating too many snacks while staying up late to watch dramas. So, she naturally decided to ban snacks for the time being.

As for the chocolate parfait that Ogata Riju mentioned, she had heard of it before. The crystal-clear snow-covered top was covered with various chocolates and candies, as well as pink chocolates and various nuts. It was both beautiful and tempting. If she were to go there with Hayakawa and the other two in her current state of abstinence, she would definitely not be able to resist the temptation!

Therefore, the correct approach is to resolutely not go and quickly go home for a low-calorie dinner.

Yoshi, keep it up for a slender and elegant figure, Fumino Furuhashi!

"Okay, it's decided then."

Rizu Ogata smiled and said, "Let's go after school."

"OK,"

Hayakawa smiled and said, "Now let's discuss in detail why, even though I've had you do this reading comprehension several times, you still managed to write something so far off from the correct answer."

Ogata Rizu was terrified: "Um... um, Parfait's on me, could you please forgive me..."

"Make me ten thousand sets of test papers!"

"Meow..."

Chapter 169 Hayakawa, the Great Qing's Number One Assassin

See you tomorrow, Fumino.

"Bye-bye, ancient bridge."

After school, Hayakawa and Ogata Rizu watched Furuhashi leave at the school gate, then exchanged a glance.

Hayakawa's gaze was condescending, indifferent and emotionless, giving off an air of "This is the number one assassin of the Qing Dynasty, do you dare to look him in the eye for fifty seconds?"

Ogata Rizu's eyes held a calm yet undisguised bright smile; she always looked like this when she saw Hayakawa, and it made her involuntarily happy.

"It's about time we went,"

Hayakawa silently withdrew his gaze, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the school, yawning as he said, "Take me there, that chocolate parfait, right?"

"Yes!"

Riju Ogata replied crisply, her silly appearance resembling that of a naive new recruit: "I'll take you there right now."

"..."

Hayakawa calmly replied, "Oh."

The two walked along the tree-lined path to the left of the school gate, where sycamore trees grew. The chilly autumn wind rustled the trees on both sides, like a light rain pattering on the eaves. After walking for a short while, they saw the ice cream stand that Ogata Riju had mentioned. It was a mobile ice cream cart.

"This is it."

Rizu Ogata pointed expectantly at the prominent sign on the ice cream truck ahead.

"There's hardly anyone here."
