Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 60 Attack in Full View of the Public
A new day, Tuesday.

Today, the plum rains continued to fall in a drizzle, and the gloomy weather made everyone feel irritable.

The unpleasant incident at last night's social gathering has spread throughout the class, creating a strange atmosphere.

Shiraishi Rin ruined almost all of her popularity in just one day.

Needless to say, everyone who participated in that social event was thoroughly berated by her; how could they possibly want to be friends with her?

Those who didn't participate in the matchmaking event weren't interested in Shiraishi Rin to begin with, and after hearing some exaggerated descriptions of her, they completely ruled out any possibility of them becoming friends.

Another rumor that Akizuki Makoto was secretly dating Shiina Maki spread like wildfire throughout the class.

All signs indicate that Shiina Maki and Akizuki Makoto have developed feelings for each other, even if they are not dating.

Furthermore, some malicious rumors spread, claiming that Maki Shiina seduced Makoto Akizuki on the day he visited her, and that the two of them had a relationship.

These rumors were spread by Asuna Nishimura, who also took the opportunity to belittle Rin Shiraishi, calling him wicked, arrogant, and extremely presumptuous.

Of course, these discussions were all kept private; no one dared to say them openly, lest Akizuki Makoto find out.

Even though they didn't say it, when Akizuki Makoto arrived at the classroom, he felt that the atmosphere was strange, with a tense sense of urgency, as if a great storm was brewing.

The once cheerful and playful classroom atmosphere has disappeared, replaced by everyone talking cautiously and not daring to make a loud noise.

"How boring..."

Akizuki Makoto muttered to himself, he was in no mood to care about these things right now.

Last night, he suffered from insomnia for the first time in a long time. He tossed and turned until the early hours of the morning before finally falling asleep, but his sleep quality was extremely poor. He would dream from time to time of Dongzi looking at him with tears in her eyes.

He would wake up at this time every time, probably four or five times a night.

After Shiraishi Rin saw Akizuki Makoto sit down in the seat next to him, he immediately noticed the fatigue on Akizuki's face.

She couldn't help but be surprised, wondering if Akizuki Makoto and Shiina Maki had actually had a relationship as rumored.
She remained outwardly calm and didn't ask the question. Asking would be pointless; Akizuki Makoto would either not respond or deny it outright.

Therefore, the best way is to hypnotize Akizuki Makoto and then ask him.

Amidst the undercurrents of tension in the classroom, the first class of the morning began.

Akizuki listened absentmindedly to the teacher's lecture on the stage, her thoughts drifting far away, her mind filled with thoughts of Tokyo and her hometown.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that his situation had become extremely precarious, as if he were walking on thin ice.

In Tokyo, he faces oppression from abnormal women, and when he returns to his hometown, he feels lost and unsure how to face Fuyuko and his parents.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Akizuki Makoto felt a headache coming on, and couldn't help but rub his temples and let out a long sigh.

Sitting beside him, Shiraishi Rin, who had been quietly observing him, couldn't help but become interested when she saw him like this, thinking that he could also show such a worried and tired expression.

Is she thinking about last night's social gathering?
Is she worried about damaging her reputation as a male god?

Or is he worried that others will think he and Shiina Maki are isolating everyone?

"Hehe, this is really interesting..."

Shiraishi Rin couldn't help but laugh; she enjoyed seeing Akizuki Makoto's troubled expression.

This kind of winner in life encountered setbacks, which made her feel great.

In some ways, she and Ji Yexue are similar; both want to make Qiuyue Cheng, who is perfect in every way, unhappy. Only someone like that has the value of being corrupted; otherwise, they wouldn't have targeted Qiuyue Cheng.

For ordinary people, they would fawn over them like lapdogs if they just beckoned, which is pointless.

The things you can't have always seem more alluring, and this was the first time they had ever met someone as special as Akizuki Makoto.

After observing for a while, Shiraishi Rin suddenly noticed that Akizuki Makoto's expression had changed again.

Specifically, one second he's worried and annoyed, the next second he seems to have suddenly thought of something and becomes astonished, then he tries to remain calm and keeps a straight face.

"This is……?"

From Shiraishi Rin's perspective, Akizuki Makoto's change of expression was very abrupt, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

Moreover, within just one or two seconds, there were several changes in expression.

While Shiraishi Rin was filled with doubt, Akizuki Makoto was already on the verge of losing his composure.

The reason he could perform Sichuan opera face-changing was because he saw a semi-transparent figure suddenly appear at the classroom door.

For a moment, he almost lost his composure, but fortunately, he was used to acting, and his expression didn't change; he still looked worried about something.

until……

Ji Yexue approached with a smile, her hands behind her back. Qiu Yuecheng's heart began to race, and his body temperature gradually rose.

He subconsciously tensed up, his heart filled with tension about what Ji Yexue was about to do.

Ji Yexue didn't make a sound or any noise. She simply walked behind Qiu Yuecheng, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her body against him.

Perhaps due to Akizuki Makoto's increased resistance, Himeyasu, who was using the unselectable ability, clearly felt that the touch of their bodies pressed together was more real than before.

When she activated her unselectable ability and was holding Akizuki Makoto, she could only vaguely feel that her body was touching something.

The texture was strange, like walking on clouds, almost imperceptible.

But now it's different. She can feel the temperature of his body, the softness of his skin, the hardness of his bones, and the noisy heartbeat in his chest.

Their heartbeats seemed to resonate; as Ji Yexue felt Qiu Yuecheng's heartbeat, she also felt her own heart pounding wildly in her chest.

after all……

They're hugging each other right now, in front of everyone.

From an outsider's perspective, everything seems normal.

No one would have imagined that Ji Yexue, the student council president who was so imposing, of such noble status, and as aloof as an iceberg, would be lying on a man's back in the classroom at this moment.

This unparalleled transgression and thrill reminded Ji Yexue of the first time she gained the ability to become invisible and tried to steal things from a convenience store.

She was just as excited back then, but later her threshold increased, and she no longer found stealing and pranks interesting.

"Whoo~"

Ji Yexue peeked out, leaned close to Qiu Yuecheng's face, and whispered hot breath into his earlobe.

At this point, Akizuki Makoto completely lost his composure, his body trembled slightly, and the worry and annoyance on his face turned into astonishment.

Then, he forced himself to remain calm—mainly because he noticed that Shiraishi Rin had been secretly observing him.
