Chapter 50: Returning To Class

Didn't quite get the 500 stones so only 1 bonus chap. But thank you for all the stones. Let's push just that little bit harder this week!

"Since you have agreed, I will guide you appropriately."

Horikita Manabu wanted to say more at first, but he looked at Karuizawa Kei who was still in the room and decided not to say anything.

"I'll let you know when the formalities are done."

After leaving a final word, he turned and left.

Karuizawa Kei felt that she was in the way and had caused something to be delayed.

But soon, her thoughts drifted back to the 600,000 points.

"Ah, I will transfer the 600,000 points to you tomorrow."

Although she was very moved, she didn't have any plans of taking the compensation for herself since the exorbitant amount had nothing to do with her.

"Just put away the 600,000 points in your account for now. It won't be so easy to get this many points in the future. Save as much as you can."

He didn't want to remind her with such an obvious prompt at first, but considering the situation of Karuizawa, Ying Ye Zhenshi would not have been surprised if the girl in question spent all the money within a month.

"This… I understand. I'll save it for now then."

Karuizawa rarely wanted to save money, but regarding this 600,000, she decided she was going to keep it solely for him.

As for Karuizawa Kei's inner thoughts, Ying Ye Zhenshi couldn't have known what she was thinking.

Now, what he was thinking was whether he should continue to be lazy here for a few more days.

He would rest for a few days before leaving since someone was already going to reimburse him for the time he was out of classes.

After the idea was finalised in his mind, he looked over at Kei beside him.

Ying Ye Zhenshi thought of a certain individual in the class, before thinking he had found something for this girl to do.

"Is there something wrong?"

Facing Ying Ye Zhenshi's gaze, Karuizawa asked obediently.

She was also looking forward to his first proper instructions.

"You should try and socialize with more of the girls every day."

Ying Ye Zhenshi spoke frankly.

He was trying to recall the circumstances of Karuizawa from his memory.

"Ah, yes..."

"Except for a few of the girls, I have most of their contacts, though I have basically none of the contacts of the boys except Hirata's."

Karuizawa Kei became a little worried about whether the boy in front of her had taken a fancy to someone else in the class.

She became increasingly worried about the misunderstanding she had conjured up in her head.

"Have other people join your circle, especially those who can study well but are not so good at communicating. Find and approach them and establish a connection. As long as you can succeed in doing so, they will become your own important weapons. That way, it will be impossible that you will be bullied again. You don't need to find me to solve the problem either."

Ying Ye Zhenshi said directly.

"..."

But in Karuizawa Megumi's ears, it sounded like he resented her and found her to be a burden.

It was like he was saying- 'Woman, why don't you just rely on yourself?'

"What? Is there a problem?"

Not knowing what was going on in the girl's mind, Ying Ye Zhenshi simply felt that she was unwilling or unable to do it.

"There's no problem! I'll do it."

Hearing his query, Karuizawa was startled.

"It is also best to improve your own academic ability. This will be beneficial both in school and in the future. You can also use this excuse to communicate with those students who are good at learning but not interacting. It is best to ask them about subjects they are good at too. Borrow more of their homework and ask more questions. It's important to ask questions to push forward the communication."

Ying Ye Zhenshi was worried that the girl would not be good at this sort of thing, so he surprisingly reminded her.

It was very convenient to do such things while acting like a cute girl.

'Like that Kushida Kikyo.'

As long as Karuizawa opened her mouth and made these meaningful connections, those school bullies would refuse to engage in beef with her.

This was the method of pushing people away indirectly so that they didn't play the fool.

"That sounds good. I will do it."

But this still had Karuizawa very nervous.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to do it well and would let him down.

And Ying Ye Zhenshi was equally as helpless in reassuring her.

After the two sides exchanged thoughts, Karuizawa left.

"I hope your friendships can become stronger."

Watching the girl leave, Ying Ye Zhenshi finally allowed himself to get some rest.

The matter of the second-year students had been settled for the time being.

Unless they went crazy and tried to kill him, no one would come to trouble him at the current time.

Then, there was the matter of him joining the student union, but he was just waiting for the president to notify him of the process.

More than a week passed, with Ying Ye Zhenshi being strongly prompted back to class by Chabashira sensei.

Either she hurried him because if he didn't go to class all the time, she thought it would affect the class, or because she simply didn't want him to rest for too long and get so comfortable.

Back in the first-year class D classroom…

It was still the familiar lively scene, with various small cliques gathered and dotted around the class, intermingling with each other.

When Ying Ye Zhenshi entered the classroom, he attracted some of the student's attention.

After all, the person who had been on leave and disappeared for more than a week had appeared, which made them all a little bit curious.

"Ying Ye-kun, you finally showed up!"

As soon as he arrived in the class, Kushida Kikyo greeted him with a smile and seemed relieved.

Karuizawa Kei from the other end of the class saw this scene which made her very upset.

But they had said before that they would communicate via their mobile phones in class.

So she didn't get close to him to wish him well.

"Morning."

Ying Ye Zhenshi replied.

Then, he sat on his seat.

"I haven't seen you for so long, and sensei said you were on sick leave. Are you okay now? I wanted to visit you several times, but you didn't reply to my texts. That was too much, Ying Ye-kun. Aren't we friends?"

Even though Ying Ye Zhenshi had sat down, Kushida Kikyo didn't want to let him off and spoke even more enthusiastically as soon as she approached.

She had even more complaints in her heart, but she was already used to this man's weird personality.

"Ah, sorry. I haven't looked at my phone much recently."

This was naturally a lie, as he had obviously seen it but didn't want to reply.

Ying Ye Zhenshi was all too sure about the fact that if he replied that he was in the hospital, this woman would definitely come to care for him immediately.

'Ah, that damn kindness of hers.'
