Chapter 2: The Little Angel Kushida Kikyo

The bus stopped in front of the gate of the Advanced Nurturing High, and the doors slowly opened.

The students on the bus got off the bus one after another, with Ying Ye Zhenshi mixing in with the crowd, which promptly made the bus less crowded.

As soon as he got off the bus, his attention was drawn towards the huge stone gate in front of him.

The carefully carved huge stone gate was the barrier to this school.

"It's really high."

Ying Ye Zhenshi looked up.

The huge entrance gate that was like the bottomless depths of the abyss that could swallow everyone up gave him a sense for the grandeur of the school.

"This is a great academy. It's going to be great being able to study in such a school."

"We need to keep in touch more in the future,

Ying Ye-san."

Kushida Kikyo, who was beside him, continued to chat away like a little angel.

That attitude had made Ying Ye Zhenshi feel like a mature individual.

"That's right, Hanada-san. Contact me when you have the time."

Obviously, he did not leave any contact information with her, and without turning around to speak to her again, Ying Ye Zhenshi walked towards the campus, stepping beyond the gates of the abyss.

He could not wait to embark on his campus life.

"Hanada-san?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi left, leaving Kikyo Kushida tilting her head cutely, stunned in place, wondering if she had misheard just now.

After having communicated on the bus for so long, did the other party not even remember her name?

A man and a woman who got out of the bus behind her sent her weird looks, as if they had witnessed this scene and saw that the male couldn't even remember her name.

Without leaving a word and without displaying a mocking expression, he entered the campus with a neutral facial expression.

In a sense, his words and actions were in sync.

***

Ying Ye Zhenshi wanted to get to know the school first.

After receiving the notification about where he should go, Ying Ye Zhenshi successfully found his class.

"Class D of the first grade… have the allocations already been arranged?"

When he arrived at the class, there were already a few people in it.

Most of the students sat in their seats and looked at the school materials on their desks alone or were staring off into nowhere.

Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't bother with them, found the seat he was assigned and sat down, then pondered over his seat.

It was not like his seat was in the back row next to the window, which was usually the main character's seat, but the position next to the corridor of the second row.

There were cute girls sitting in the seats in front and behind him, but no one paid him any special attention.

There was no one beside him as they probably hadn't arrived yet.

In such an environment, students entered the class one after another, and the classroom gradually became full, with Kikyo Kushida being one of the new entrants.

And the other party's seat just so happened to be the empty seat next to Ying Ye Zhenshi.

As soon as she found her seat, she displayed a kind smile, beautifully colouring her looks.

"Great, Ying Ye-san, we are in the same class. I was worried that we would end up becoming strangers in different classes, so that's great."

Coming to her seat and putting down her schoolbag, Kushida Kikyo said happily.

She put her hands together and let out a sigh of relief.

It appeared as though the girl became even more relaxed because of his presence.

"Ah, what a coincidence, Noda-san."

Looking up at the girl with a big chest, Ying Ye Zhenshi also smiled.

Those who had a low EQ would have said they had only just met on the bus, and so they were still almost equal to strangers.

But boys like that would not be taken to too well.

"Ying Ye-san."

This reply directly caused Kushida Kikyo's expression to become stiff, and then she complained in her heart once again.

She also patted Ying Ye Zhenshi lightly.

"Really, you remembered it wrong again, and you are still saying a different name every time. Do you really not remember my name? You have to be joking. It's really not right to be making such a joke. It's in bad taste."

'Is it really okay to have physical contact with boys like this without caring for propriety? It seems that I have never met such a girl. Is this how high school students behave? Wow, it's amazing.'

There were ten thousand thoughts running through his mind, but Ying Ye Zhenshi remained expressionless, thinking about his classmate's name carefully and apologising.

"Ah? Did I remember it wrong? I'm sorry, my memory is not very good, so let me think about it… Shiba-san? No, don't remind me, let me think about it… Oda-san? Tian Gang? Tianxia? Yamashita? Matsushita?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi rejected Kushida Kikyo's attempts at prompting him and guessed one by one.

His voice and the words he said had already attracted the attention of others.

After all, the sight of having forgotten another person's name was really quite tragic, especially when it came to the name Matsushita.

A girl with supple, long brown hair sitting a few seats behind Kikyo looked at him unexpectedly, and then focused on their conversation.

Her name was Matsushita, and someone suddenly called out her name, which shocked her.

Strange names came out one after another, and finally, Kushida Kikyo couldn't listen to him anymore.

"Ying Ye-san, please remember that it is Kushida Kikyo. My name is not Oda Shibada. Please take note of it."

Holding Ying Ye Zhenshi's hand directly, Kushida Kikyo stared at him with teary eyes, as if she was going to cry if he didn't agree.

'Physical contact again, what on earth are your intentions here? Hanada-san? It's just a name, why do you need to care so much?'

Ying Ye Zhenshi complained in his heart.

"Oh, sorry, I see, Kushida-san. I'll remember it for next time."

While his hand was held by her soft hands, Ying Ye Zhenshi sincerely promised her.

Kushida, who was now assured, believed in Ying Ye Zhenshi's promise.

Then, Kushida Kikyo actually felt Ying Ye Zhenshi's hand which was held within her palms.

"Ying Ye-san's hands seem to be very strong. Do you exercise regularly?"

While she was talking, she made all sorts of gestures, grabbed Ying Ye Zhenshi's hand and directly clasped it in between hers, as if trying to get her fingers intertwined with his.

She seemed to be feeling the power in his palm.

'It's easy to misunderstand your intentions~.'

And this feeling made him hold back all kinds of thoughts in his heart.

Sure enough, it was because of this that he couldn't remember Hanada's name this entire time, and so it was entirely her fault.

He didn't want to appear like a pervert because his hand was the one that was grabbed by the girl to play with, so Ying Ye Zhenshi explained slowly—

"Well, I'm a little interested in sports, but I am just at a so-so level, and I am part of the group of people who just play for fun."

"Then I will look for Ying Ye-Sam if I want to exercise in the future."

And this response made Kushida Kikyo smile sweetly and talk even more cutely.

As for the truth, only she knew what her true thoughts on the matter were.

The conversation between the two had attracted the attention of many students.

On the first day of having met, they talked so much, and they were even communicating in such a friendly way in the classroom, with their hands all held together.

With a handsome man and a beautiful woman doing this, the sight became even more scenic, so some of the boys were already looking at Ying Ye Zhenshi with envy, wishing to replace themselves in Ying Ye Zhenshi's position, especially the few boys behind him.

Those looks were full of interest as if they wanted to go straight up to her and shamelessly ask her to exercise with them.
