Tsukishiro Takuma briefly noted the name and did not ask any further questions.

Although he knew that if he asked, Shiina Hiyori would most likely continue to reveal the information in the class, he didn't want Shiina Hiyori to do that.

For some relationships, it’s better to just stop at the right point, just like her at the beginning.

Just as Tsukishiro Takuma was thinking this, Horikita Suzune's study session had already ended in a bad mood.

Only Ayanokouji Kiyoko and Horikita Suzune were left at the scene. Even the little angel Kushida Kikyo couldn't stand the atmosphere and turned away with a forced smile.

Horikita Suzune looked down at the textbook, not knowing what she was thinking.

As for Ayanokouji Kiyoko, she looked at Takuma Tsukishiro and Hiyori Shiina from time to time, her expression very calm, as if her heart was as calm as before.

043 Accept the Horikita sisters immediately... Ha, no sisters?

After reading quietly in the library for a while, Shiina Hiyori suggested going out for dinner together.

Of course, Takuma Tsukishiro would not refuse such a rare opportunity. In fact, he was more surprised at Shiina Hiyori's initiative. Girls would not do this unless they had a crush on someone.

Just chatting about books can lead to such a development. I begin to worry about the child's future.

"Let me get the backpack."

Seeing that she was carrying the backpack from last time, which must be very heavy, Takuma Tsukishiro couldn't help but reach out his hand to her.

"Oh, no, it will cause you trouble."

"I need to borrow your book later, so it would be more convenient for me to hold it, or do you hate me, Shiina-san?"

Facing his words, Shiina Hiyori waved her hands and denied it hastily: "No, I don't hate Tsukishiro-san at all..."

"Then lend me your backpack for a while."

"...Then I'll trouble you."

Tsukishiro Takuma took the backpack from her apologetically-looking hand and found that it was indeed quite heavy. He really didn't know what was wrong with this kid. He must have liked running around with books too much.

"Well, is it heavy?"

"A little bit. Did Shiina-san bring any books today?"

"There are Ellery Queen novels, and The High Window by Raymond Chandler and The Killing Ground by Lee Childs."

It sounds like the novels are all about tough guys, coldness and ruthlessness. She looks like a very soft girl, but she actually likes this kind of novels.

"By the way, I haven't asked Tsukishiro-san what kind of novels he likes. I've always been talking to myself." Shiina Hiyori suddenly looked embarrassed.

"I'm an omnivore. I read all kinds of novels. I'm not restricted to any particular genre. It's very comfortable to chat with Shiina-san like this."

She seemed to pause for a moment, and when Tsukishiro Takuma looked over, she followed again, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, not looking at Tsukishiro at all.

"I'm happy too... Apart from Tsukishiro-san, I basically don't have any friends to chat with."

Is it so tragic?

"Shiina-san, I have a lifelong wish that I must convey to you no matter what, even if the earth will be destroyed in 3 seconds."

Tsukishiro Takuma bowed slightly solemnly, and his appearance scared Shiina Hiyori.

"Eh? Um? I..."

Could it be that kind of development? Should I decisively refuse at this time?

However, if I reject you too bluntly, will Tsukishiro-san not come to the library next time?

What should I do?

"Please exchange contact information with me."

"..."

Shiina Hiyori stared at him for a while. The silent atmosphere seemed a little scary.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing... just exchanging contact information."

As a result, the two of them successfully exchanged contact information, and Tsukishiro Takuma couldn't help but smile.

They then went to the cafeteria to have dinner and chatted for a while before he said goodbye to Shiina Hiyori.

Tsukishiro Takuma was walking on his way back to the dormitory, feeling that he had had a pretty pleasant day, especially the May evening breeze which was so refreshing.

I looked up at the night sky. Dark clouds were covering the crescent moon, revealing a faint halo. The dense stars were bustling like fireflies, embellishing a bright veil belonging to the Milky Way.

Looking further ahead, I saw a faint human figure under the silver frost on the ground.

He blinked and saw that the other person was Horikita Suzune, who ran to the back of the dormitory building as if she was chasing someone.

Why don't you follow me and take a look?

Tsukishiro Takuma thought as he followed closely behind stealthily.

"Lingyin, I didn't expect you to follow me here."

As soon as I turned the corner, I heard a man's voice that sounded familiar.

He quietly took out his mobile phone, lowered the brightness, pointed the camera on the back at that place, and then his eyes fell on the screen of the phone.

It was a little dark, and there were no street lights here, so it was hard to see who Horikita Suzune was talking to.

However, the silhouette and voice of this figure are undoubtedly Horikita Manabu.

"I am no longer the incompetent me that my brother knew. I came here to catch up with you."

"To catch up with me?" Horikita Manabu chuckled. "Although I know you've been assigned to Class D, you haven't changed at all since three years ago. You just keep staring at my back. You're still that loser, that useless person."

Horikita Suzune was a little flustered, and tried to explain: "That must be a mistake. I will be promoted to Class A soon to show you. By then, I can be with my brother..."

"Impossible, there's no way you can get into Class A. Forget about that, you can't even handle the class. This school is not as simple as you think!" Horikita Manabu interrupted her rudely and rejected her in a rather stern tone.

"Just wait, I will definitely arrive..."

"Don't you understand? You are such a disobedient sister."

Horikita Manabu took a few steps forward, his face expressionless, his eyes looking as if he was looking at something boring, then he suddenly grabbed Horikita Suzune's wrist and mercilessly pressed her against the wall.

"It seems that no matter how much I try to avoid it, I can't change the fact that you are my sister. Listen, if others know about your existence, I will be the one who will be embarrassed. Get out of this school immediately."

"Brother..." Horikita Suzune seemed to be holding back something, "I will be promoted to Class A, and I will definitely do it for you."

There was a sparkling light in her eyes, but she was trying hard to suppress that emotion, looking at Horikita Manabu stubbornly... no, to be more precise, she was looking at her brother with hope.

"You are so stupid. I really need to teach you a lesson."

Horikita Manabu grabbed her wrist and pulled it hard, probably intending to throw her to the ground.

click-

A shutter sound was heard, accompanied by a conspicuous flash.

"Oops, why do Neon's phones have to have a shutter sound that can't be turned off?"

Horikita Manabu looked over expressionlessly, only to see Tsukishiro Takuma fiddling with his phone in a frenzy. When he noticed his gaze, he gave a shy smile.

"President Horikita, please continue with your work. I won't disturb you anymore." Tsukishiro Takuma said with a smile.

Although he said this, he did not move and obviously had no intention of leaving.

"Tsuki, Tsukishiro-kun?!" Horikita Suzune exclaimed in surprise.

Horikita Manabu released her wrist and slowly walked towards Tsukishiro Takuma.

"It's been a long time, Tsukishiro."

"I'll bring you some Chiba specialties next time."

"Even though I knew that you and Suzune were both students in Class D, it still came as a surprise to me that you two were actually friends."

"Don't be ridiculous. I don't remember having a friend like her. Someone who doesn't even want to lend points is worse than a stranger."

"Points? Come to think of it, your activity probably failed, right?"

"Ahaha, who knows. By the way, could you please stop coming closer?"

Horikita Manabu stopped walking because Tsukishiro Takuma was holding up his cell phone as if nothing had happened.

"It was really unfortunate today. I accidentally caught the student council president bullying a freshman in a place without cameras. The other person was his sister. If I tell others, I'm afraid no one would think that he is a violent criminal, right?"

Tsukishiro Takuma looked like he had a headache. He asked Horikita Manabu earnestly, "In this situation, as the student council president, Horikita-senpai should know how to deal with it. Can you please teach me, a newcomer, a little bit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately added: "Also, don't worry about the original video being "accidentally" damaged by others. I just uploaded it to the private space of SNS and sent it to a good friend."

Horikita Manabu was silent for a while, and then said: "It seems that I still underestimated you, Tsukishiro, you are really quick in action."

"We'll talk about that later." Tsukishiro Takuma threatened, "Horikita-senpai, you don't want everyone to know about this now, do you?"

044 It's your turn, Lingyin

Facing Tsukishiro Takuma's threat, Horikita Manabu appeared very calm.

He glanced at Horikita Suzune next to him, then said to Tsukishiro Takuma, "How many points do I need to delete the photos and recordings?"

"Wait, wait, brother, what are you doing?!" As the one being beaten, Horikita Suzune became anxious.

"Is your stupid head really incapable of understanding?" Horikita Manabu said this, but his eyes never looked at her again, "Tsukishiro, if you can't offer a price that satisfies me, then you should know what will happen if you offend a student council president."

Tsukishiro Takuma was confused at first, then he became furious and asked, "Am I blackmailing you now, or are you threatening me?"

"Five million points!" he blurts out.

However, Horikita Manabu shook his head and said seriously: "No, I don't have that many personal points."

As the leader of Class 3-A and the president of the Student Council, Horikita Manabu does have a huge amount of points, but those are not just his own personal points. He must consider the future operations of the class and even the entire grade.

"four million?"

"Yuecheng, I'll give you one more chance."

Damn it, what kind of feeling is this? On what basis is the person being threatened threatening him?

Tsukishiro Takuma calculated in his mind, and then said, "50 points plus the help of the student council president three times."

At this point, Horikita Manabu finally laughed a few times, which made Horikita Suzune stunned, because her brother rarely smiled in front of her.

"Yuecheng, you finally revealed your true thoughts. But three times is too many. I can only give you once, and it is limited to this year."

"Once is too little!"

Ignoring Tsukishiro Takuma's protests, Horikita Manabu slowly walked up to him.

"Because you are not qualified to negotiate with me now. If you want me to recognize you, you must at least climb to Class A or become the vice president of the student union."

For some reason, Horikita Manabu emphasized the word "vice president" a little more.

Tsukishiro Takuma pretended not to understand. He didn't know who Vice President Nanyun was, and he didn't want to go against that man.

If it was just to comfort the other person's childhood sweetheart, then he could still barely accept it.

Next, Horikita Manabu asked Tsukishiro Takuma to take out something similar to a payment code and transferred 50 points quickly and efficiently.

However, when he saw Tsukishiro Takuma's photo, he was stunned.

"...You didn't capture anyone at all. The picture is too blurry."

"Who said that? There's a video here!"

"Except for being able to hear the sound, it's worthless. I really admire your video recording skills."

"So I will make good use of the 50 points given to the president and buy a better video recording device next time."

Horikita Manabu looked at him deeply for a while without saying anything, but turned around and glanced at Horikita Suzune.

"See? This is the reality of this school. An incompetent guy like you better leave right away and stop embarrassing me."

After saying that, Horikita Manabu didn't care about Horikita Suzune's reaction, and walked straight past Tsukishiro Takuma, gradually disappearing into the night.

Tsukishiro Takuma seemed to be thinking about something. He always felt that Horikita Manabu might not be as cold-blooded as he appeared.

After a while, the voice of Horikita Suzune was heard suddenly.
