Chapter 37 Want to Talk to Someone?

Fang Li never imagined that the first guest to enter his room would be a girl, and not just any girl, but a lovely one who had no problem being called a hearttrob in class D and other classes.

It was quite remarkable that such a sought-after girl would enter Fang Li's room and spend time alone with him. After entering Fang Li's room, the first thing this girl, Kushida Kikyou, said was, "Um... Nanaya-san? I think you should put a little more effort into decorating your room, don't you think?"

Kushida Kikyou kindly gave him this advice. After all, Fang Li's room was so plain and simple that it looked almost the same as when he first moved in. Although it wasn't shabby by any means, as the dormitory for high school students was much better than the dorms outside the school, it could still be considered shabby to those who lived there.

However, Fang Li didn't feel embarrassed about it. "Having a place to live is already pretty good," he said. His response made people think that he was a wild man from the mountains or a child from a slum.

But Kushida Kikyou seemed to think that Fang Li was just casually talking and smiled knowingly. "Nanaya-san always says these strange things. He must be good at charming girls."

It seemed that Fang Li's unexpected comments were more interesting to girls than the typical things that other guys would say.

Fang Li had no intention of correcting anything and just sat down casually in front of the small table in the room where Kushida Kikyou was.

Their conversation was very brief.

"Do you want anything to drink?"

"It looks like there's nothing in Nanaya-san room, is there unexpectedly something good to drink?"

"At least there's plain hot water. If you want tea, I can go buy it from the vending machine downstairs."

"No need, plain hot water is fine."

So Fang Li poured a cup of steaming hot water for Kushida Kikyou.

"So which subject should we start with?"

Kushida Kikyou placed her textbook on the table and said these words with great interest.

Looking at Kushida Kikyou like this, Fang Li was very puzzled.

"Why do you look so happy?"

That was Fang Li's feeling.

"Do... do I look like I'm very happy?" Kushida Kikyou looked surprised and a little embarrassed as she showed a shy smile, "Maybe it's because it's rare to have a chance to be alone with Nanaya-san, and I feel like our relationship has gotten closer."

This was really a speech that could make people fantasize.

If it were Ike Kanji or Yamauchi Haruki, they would definitely have misunderstood and thought that Kushida Kikyou was interested in them, and might even confess to her.

But after doing that, they would definitely get only one answer.

That is...

"Uh... sorry, I was too ambiguous just now. I meant to say that I want to be closer friends with everyone, so I feel happy."

Kushida Kikyou would definitely use this kind of sentence to politely decline.

This was also the most cunning part of girls.

To make a gesture that could be misunderstood, but always ready to use "friend" as an excuse. Little did they know that for boys at the age of fantasizing, this was too careless.

Fortunately, Fang Li was not the kind of man who liked to fantasize, otherwise he would be led around by nose by Kushida Kikyou.

"You didn't come over here just to make friends with me, did you?" Fang Li bluntly said, "To tell you the truth, my grades are not a problem. I got 0s in all subjects because I intentionally handed in blank papers. I will pass the mid-term exam, so don't worry."

Fang Li thought that by revealing this fact, Kushida Kikyou would be very surprised.

Who knows...

"Indeed, it's like this." Kushida Kikyou showed no surprise and instead said with a sudden realization, "I just knew that Nanaya-san's grades couldn't possibly be zero in all subjects."

"Oh?" Fang Li raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do you think that?"

"Because Nanaya-san has a mysterious aura," Kushida Kikyou laughed candidly, even mischievously adding, "I have many friends, so I think I have a good eye for people."

Fang Li believed this to be true.

Otherwise, Kushida Kikyou wouldn't be so popular with so many people.

Being so popular meant that Kushida Kikyou had a good sense of judgment and knew what to do and what not to do in order to avoid being disliked by others.

Therefore, Kushida Kikyou's ability to judge people was probably even higher than that of Horikita Suzune.

However...

"If you really think that way, why did you come to me?" Fang Li posed a question.

If Kushida Kikyou truly believed that Fang Li wasn't failing all subjects, then there would be no reason for her to come to him and study together, right?

In other words, Kushida Kikyou must have had another purpose for coming here.

To be more precise, she must have had another idea.

"Ahahaha..." Kushida Kikyou's smile suddenly became somewhat weak.

Then, she gave this kind of answer:

"Today, too many things have happened, and everyone in the class hasn't fully come to terms with it yet."

Kushida Kikyou said weakly.

"I also feel a little uncomfortable and can't help but want to talk to someone about it..."

As she spoke these weak words and showed such a helpless expression, Kushida Kikyou's whole demeanor began to look pitiful and vulnerable, enough to evoke any man's protective instincts.

If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to bear it and would have hugged Kushida Kikyou.

However, Fang Li just looked at Kushida Kikyou like this, without speaking, and silently drank his glass of water.

Under these circumstances, Kushida Kikyou continued to talk to herself.

"Speaking of which, Nanaya-san is really amazing." Kushida Kikyou said with a mixture of admiration and envy, "In the morning, everyone was quite chaotic, but only Nanaya-san, Ayanokouji-san, and Horikita-san seemed completely unaffected. I saw the three of you leave the classroom, and at the time, were you going to catch up with Chabashira-sensei?"

In other words, did Kushida Kikyou notice that Fang Li, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and Horikita Suzune had left?

"What did you do at that time?" Kushida Kikyou asked curiously, "After you came back, Horikita-san's expression became a little different from before, and I'm very curious about what happened."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li realized something.

Perhaps this is the real reason why Kushida Kikyou came to find him.
