Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

It is impossible for Aki Tomoya to predict the future: Chapter 1: The one who predicts the future is not necessarily the hero (Part 1)

What kind of person should be the most conspicuous guy in a class?

Either they are super academic masters who are extremely talented and knowledgeable and always shine in class and in every test, or they are those school idols with outstanding looks that can even rival their idols.

Of course, there are also those good people who gain everyone's recognition with their character and personality and are gradually surrounded by people - although they are more often maliciously called central air conditioners.

In contrast, there are a very small number of loners who have no companions or very few friends in the class, but sometimes they stand out in the crowd because of the lonely temperament they radiate from the inside out.

It seems that all kinds of personalities have been explained, but it is naturally impossible for a class to consist of only the above four types of people.

Between two very few extremes, there are often the most "neutral" things, just like there is a gray transition between black and white.

For example, there are those who have a strong presence, who can always get along well with others but have not yet reached the core position of the team; there are those who look smiling but walk away alone after school.

For example, he doesn't often hang out with others, and he won't try hard to make his presence felt just because he's lonely or bored. He's always used to completing what he wants to do efficiently by himself - but he'll also be very gentle when others ask him for help.

But in most cases, the latter who don't like to show off will have a much lower sense of presence. But if they don't care, then it's actually not a big deal.

Well, no matter how you think about it, this black-haired boy who looks just ordinary and handsome at first glance, and a little gentle and handsome after looking at him for a long time, will not be the one who can become the center of attention in the class.

The boy's name is Hoshimi Haru, and he's 17 years old. As you can see, he's a high school student who just entered his second year.

My grades are above average, my appearance is above average, and my physical fitness is above average. I am never the best nor the worst.

His parents' relationship grew distant when he was in elementary school, and they divorced when he entered junior high. His father married a woman from a wealthy and influential family, and his mother flirted with the son of another wealthy family who worked overseas for years. Since he didn't want to be with either, he had lived alone for the past few years.

Xingjian is not a popular student in the class, but he is not a weirdo who is looked down upon by everyone.

He still had a few classmates he could talk to, but outside the classroom, they rarely interacted. Few people approached him when they needed to be grouped, but if someone who had fallen behind, like him, approached him for a collaboration, Xingjian would happily accept.

However, there is one thing about him that makes him different from others, which may be indirectly caused by the above reasons - Xing Jianqing is a person with little presence.

Between the "very popular heartthrob" and the "unpopular Akalin who no one cares about", he is the one who is in the gray area, slightly leaning towards the latter.

I guess everyone has such unremarkable people around them.

He wasn't the top student, the most enthusiastic about organizing activities, or the most active in organizing sports meets. He didn't have a wide network of connections in the class, but he did have a few familiar classmates. He blended in naturally and packed his bag to go home after class with ease. And after graduation, as time went by, it was often difficult for us to remember this person's name.

In the eyes of those around her, Hoshimi Haru is probably this kind of person.

Even he himself thought that many years later, he would probably just be a page in his classmates' yearbook, a memory whose specific appearance would be difficult to recall.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because he didn't care about it at all.

Today is the first day of school. The class lists have been posted on the bulletin board. After returning to school and getting familiar with the new learning environment, students can prepare for the opening ceremony on the second day.

He also left home early, planning to start his ordinary and usual second year of high school.

Well, but actually, Xingjian was more concerned about when to start her part-time job plan for the new semester on her way to school.

Anyway, after arriving at school, he reluctantly squeezed into the crowd, intending to check which class his name was listed in on the bulletin board.

While moving through the crowd, he accidentally heard the laughter of girls coming from behind him.

That was the sweet laughter of a girl with short flaxen hair - her voice was so sweet that even Xingjian turned her head to look unconsciously.

She seemed to be a freshman who had just enrolled and was sharing her expectations for her new high school life with her friends.

He no longer paid any attention to it, raised his eyebrows and continued walking towards the bulletin board.

When he stood on tiptoe and cast his eyes towards the bulletin board, a bright golden color suddenly caught his eye.

She was a girl with blonde hair tied in twin ponytails.

Although she had her back to him and Xingjian couldn't see her face clearly, he could still see her profile when the girl greeted the classmates next to her from time to time.

Exquisite facial features carefully sculpted, fair skin as smooth as a baby's, and a petite and well-proportioned figure accentuated by the school uniform.

In fact, you don’t even need to see her face to know that this is the well-known beautiful girl from Toyonosaki in the school, the ace of the art club - Eriri Sawamura.

As soon as she entered school, she was stunningly beautiful and was surrounded by everyone like a star. With her cute and beautiful appearance and unique painting talent, Sawamura Eriri did not need much publicity to become a unique and beautiful landscape in the school.

Unfortunately, Sawamura Eriri seemed to be unconsciously blocking Hoshimi's way. She would occasionally shake her twin ponytails while talking to the girl next to her, which made it difficult for Hoshimi to concentrate on checking the notice board.

"........."

According to normal routine, if you choose to take some actions to communicate with Eriri at this time, you may be able to establish some special bond with her.

Well, it was like something out of a third-rate novel. He walked up to her and told her, "You're blocking my way," and then had his first conversation with her, and then the two of them formed an incredible bond.

However, Xingjian just raised an eyebrow in disapproval, letting the restless twintails sway in front of her, and then took out her cell phone——

He focused accurately and took a picture of the student list on the bulletin board, then zoomed in to check his own name as he turned away from the crowd.

"Hmm... you were assigned to Class G this year, huh?"

After finding his name, he curled his lips in disapproval, put his phone back in his pocket, walked towards Class G's classroom, and quickly left this place of trouble.

——Perfectly avoids the formation of flag.

No one really thinks that accidentally meeting a beautiful girl is the beginning of a beautiful love relationship.

To be honest, having a wonderful connection with a so-called beautiful girl is not something that people would really want to do.

Real girls are completely different from the paper figures in anime and novels. God knows whether her cuteness is just a show for others or it comes from the heart. Not to mention, if you get too close to such a girl, you might be dragged into some boring things.

So in order to avoid getting involved in any complicated matters, Xingjian chose to pretend not to see it and left the scene calmly.

There is a very strange phenomenon in Japan's middle schools - or rather, from kindergarten to university.

That is, if you don't act with others, you will be considered a child who doesn't fit in, and may even be further perceived as an unlikable person.

Therefore, many children learn to read people's expressions from a young age. Girls always have at least one best friend, and they go to the bathroom hand in hand. Boys hold hands—well, boys will enthusiastically join various clubs, with the sports club being the most popular. Otherwise, they will automatically return to their club and be ridiculed.

Well, for Xingjian, such behavior and reasons are understandable, but he is not very willing to do so.

He wasn't popular with the opposite sex, so his interactions with female classmates were limited to brief and superficial. He also wasn't someone who could talk about a wide range of topics, rarely engaging in heated conversations with others simply because they shared the same hobbies.

Some people maintain a funny clown-like attitude in a group in order to please others, just to gain a place in the eyes of others - and he likes to use the time saved on interpersonal communication to do what he wants to do, or improve his learning efficiency.

He's not trying to praise one or criticize the other, he just thinks wasting emotions on useless relationships will only hurt yourself in the end.

Xingjian is not without friends, but he just can't understand the behavior that friends have to be in the same small group and stick together all the time to prove their friendship.

It is also because of this that Xingjian has become transparent in the class.

He was rarely noticed in class. After school, he would say "see you tomorrow" to his classmates and leave alone. Most people didn't care - nor would they care - about his situation.

As for the impression he gives, others may think he is just an ordinary guy with a good temper.

That's why Xingjian finds it a little strange.

From the moment he entered the teaching building, he felt like someone was following him.

His intuition told him that people who suddenly approached him would likely only cause trouble, like being asked to help with the teacher's office or cleaning the room tomorrow.

He increased his speed slightly in an attempt to shake off the man, but the latter continued to pursue him.

In desperation, Xingjian had to listen to what the other party wanted to say for the time being.

After all, he didn't quite understand why one of the three famous people in Toyonosaki, a young man named Tomoya Aki, suddenly found him.

Even though I was in the same class with him last school year, we were just acquaintances.

"Ah... so your name is Xing Jianqing?"

The boy with glasses named Tomoya Aki pushed up the legs of his glasses, and the smile on his face was a little awkward.

He must not even know the name of the person he was looking for before this.

"What's up, Aki-san?"

Although Aki's behavior was indeed a bit rude, Xingjian didn't seem to take it to heart and got to the point calmly.

"Oh my, if a girl with some unusual ideas saw you chasing after me just now, I have a feeling it would turn into something really unspeakable."

"You can be 100% assured about this - I'm not interested in boys! Not even in sex!!"

The boy named Hoshimi Haru seems to be very good at making witty remarks that are easy to catch people off guard with a calm expression.

An Yi decisively made a big cross with both hands, and then, unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, asked Xingjian the question she had been holding back for a long time.

"I came to you to ask if you remember what happened early one morning a few days ago!"

"Spring break is over a month long, Amaki-san. Can you specify the date? Besides, I'm not interested in guys."

"It was the morning before yesterday, I saw you near a slope!"

"I don't think this is the beginning of a romantic bond... I'm really sorry if I caused any misunderstandings. Besides, I'm not interested in men."

"Oh, no, no—you just happened to be there at the time! I know you're not interested in me, no need to repeat myself!!"

After a long while, An Yi couldn't explain the whole thing clearly and scratched his hair anxiously.

"Well, I met a girl that day! And you happened to be there!!"

"Ah, I see. Phew..."

"Don't give me a sudden sigh of relief, you bastard! It's like I really have some inappropriate thoughts about you!!"

"And then, did you develop any inappropriate thoughts about that girl?"

Aki was certain - Hoshimi was indeed very good at stirring up other people's emotions with a calm and nonchalant look.

Well... although what he said was not wrong.

"I, I want to know who she is and where she is..."

"It's no use asking me about this. I was working alone the morning before yesterday, so I guess I just happened to be there."

"Haven't you ever run into that girl before? Do you have any impression of her? Did you get a good look at her? Since you saw her on your way to work, that means she lives nearby... I'm going to deliver newspapers there too next time!"

"Aki-san..."

Xingjian stared at An Yi, who suddenly started to ramble and nag, blinked, and then smiled. Because he was originally the type who looked harmless, his smile seemed even more pure and gentle.

"It's common sense that a pervert who follows someone will be sent to jail."

"I, I know!! Of course I wouldn't do that!! How could you slander my innocence out of thin air!!"

The boy with glasses suddenly flushed red, veins appeared on his forehead, and he defended himself indignantly.

"Besides, can you be considered a pervert when it comes to true love—"

Then came a bunch of difficult to understand words, like "the one and only heroine" and "the future wife", which made Xingjian's mouth curl up slightly. As if it was an illusion, the corner of the corridor was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"I understand the special feelings people have towards their loved ones at first sight, but what you said is indeed a bit dangerous, Amaki-san."

Xingjian maintained a gentle smile and expressed his opinion.

"My future wife, if I hear that, I might find it very offensive, so next time you express your feelings in front of me, please be careful with your words."

Well—but only if you can find the person himself. (Laughs)

"I, of course I'm not talking nonsense!! Believe me!!"

When he said this, An Yi seemed to be suddenly full of confidence and slapped the wall beside him hard with his hand.

"I know - that girl will definitely become my girlfriend in the future and eventually marry me -"

"Hey, that's really interesting."

Xingjian nonchalantly flipped open the comic book he had been holding in his hand. He had originally planned to find a classroom and sit down to enjoy it.

"Don't be so careless and listen carefully—I'm telling you, Haru!!"

An Yi gestured with his hands with great effort, as if trying to make what he said simpler and easier to understand - his face turned red.

"Don't get excited when you hear what I'm about to say!"

"Okay, okay, what is it, Aki-san."

By the way, he called me by my name right from the start.

"Promise me you won't laugh!"

"Okay, okay, I'm a professional. I don't laugh." (Good reading)

"To be honest, I haven't had breakfast yet. When can I go have breakfast?"

"Um... ahem. This is something I just discovered recently."

An Yi coughed lightly, but Xing Jian was still scanning the comic book in his hand, flipping through a few pages casually, his mind full of thoughts about the cafeteria's breakfast menu.
