"Pheromone" can be released through sweat and other channels, which can affect the behavior and emotions of the opposite sex and enhance attraction.
In addition to "pheromones", there are also hormones. Girls' olfactory systems can sense the chemical signals emitted by hormones, thereby subconsciously producing a physical attraction to men. This attraction is a mechanism formed during human evolution and helps the continuation of the race.
On a psychological level, when girls are exposed to the hormones emitted by boys, they may unknowingly develop a liking for them.
These are discussions about the relationship between men and women from a scientific research perspective. To put it simply, both boys and girls are naturally attracted to outstanding people of the opposite sex.
"...You mean to say that I'm attracted to you?"
Kushida Kikyo found it a little hard to accept, even though it was indeed very reasonable. The more she looked at the other person's face, the less she could refute it. But rationally, she just couldn't accept it.
"That means I was attracted to Kushida, and you couldn't resist, so you subconsciously chose to enjoy it?"
"Pah~ Who's enjoying it?"
The little angel from Class D wiped the corner of her mouth viciously, looking at the shameless man in front of her with disdain in her eyes, "You're a virgin, you should practice your skills more."
"Then put it another way," Aragaki Shun said with a half-smile, not annoyed, "In order to maintain your public image and be friends with everyone, Kushida has been forced to wear a mask all the time. Over time, a lot of negative emotions have accumulated in your heart, right?"
"But deep down, I believe Kushida has always longed to be like an ordinary girl, to indulge herself for a day, find a man she likes, and have a passionate love affair..."
"!!!"
Kushida Kikyo's pupils widened as she looked at Aragaki Shun in disbelief, "How could you... That's right, since you've already seen it, there's no way you couldn't guess my situation."
"It's not hard to guess." Aragaki Shun nodded, his fingertips gently running through the girl's short brown hair. "A girl who is usually gentle and kind, but privately has a violent and dark side. It's easy to guess that this is because she has accumulated too much pressure in her heart."
"And Class D is such a flawed class. I heard that even when faced with harassment from people like Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji, Kushida was willing to smile and deal with it. I find that hard to understand."
Wanting to make friends with everyone - this idea is simple to say, but in reality it is completely thankless.
Because this requires people to actively suppress their own personality, erase all negative opinions of others in their hearts, and shape themselves into a public trash can that is willing to accept all the emotional garbage in the world.
This sounds like a terrible thing, at least Aragaki Shun would never try it.
He always asked others to talk to him calmly. If anyone was unwilling to stand and speak calmly, they could just kneel down.
"Heh~" Kushida Kikyo let out a sneer, a chilling expression that could shatter the illusions of anyone who knew her. "How can a genius like you, born with omnipotence, possibly understand the effort mediocre people like us have to put in to achieve our goals?"
"So..." Aragaki Shun speculated thoughtfully, "Kushida is actually the type who cares a lot about what others think and only wants to win everyone's praise."
This kind of desire is actually very common. What people want is nothing more than "fame and fortune", and "fame" is ranked before "profit".
Perhaps because he thought the man in front of him wouldn't care about such things, Kushida gave up on himself and vented all the resentment he had been suppressing in his heart. "It sounds boring, right? This kind of thing that you can easily get, but for me, I have to give everything to barely maintain it."
"Haha~ Reality is so cruel. People without talent, even if they try their best, can't match the effortless talents of those geniuses."
"I can understand that," Aragaki Shun would not deny this inherent unfairness. "What's even scarier is that people who are more talented than you may work harder than you."
It is obviously the same person, but the situations in his past and present lives are completely different. The reason for this is that he has the "source power" plug-in in this life, which allows him to continuously improve himself fundamentally.
Hard work can only allow a person to reach his own upper limit, but even if an ordinary person reaches his upper limit, he may not be able to touch the lower limit of a genius' starting point.
"Can you understand?" Kushida Kikyo knocked her head against Aragaki Shun's chest and cursed unhappily, "You're a freak who swept all the competitive clubs right after school started. How can you understand that?"
"Have you ever studied hard late into the night, only to be easily surpassed by the troublemaker next door? Have you ever felt the despair of not being able to outrun the athlete even if you grit your gums until they bleed?"
Kushida Kikyo was filled with grief and indignation as she fell into memories—
"When I was little, it was fine. As long as I finished my homework, I would get praise from my parents. If I got first place on the test, my teachers and classmates would praise me as a genius. Everyone wanted to gather around me, encourage me, and admire me."
"I can still remember how excited and happy I was at that time."
"From then on, I was determined to be the best in everything I do. People don't remember second or third place; only first place is praised."
But it is obvious that Kikyo Kushida's talent does not support her to fulfill this wish.
There are many examples in this world of students who were top students in elementary school but became mediocre after entering junior high school.
Not to mention high school and college in the future.
"So, you finally chose the path of becoming everyone's friend and being more 'trusted' than anyone else?"
Aragaki Shun sighed, he didn't know how to comment on this.
"Haha~ Do I have any other choice besides this?" Kushida sneered, "Whether it's studying, sports, or hobbies, I definitely can't beat those gifted monsters."
"Hasn't Aragaki ever experienced this feeling of despair and disillusionment?"
Actually, it does exist, but it does not belong to this world.
"I've been lost and tried to escape, but fortunately, I finally discovered that there's one thing I can do, something that talented people are absolutely unwilling to do—making friends and being tolerant of everyone around me."
"I create a gentle and kind image to the outside world, and I patiently share a hypocritical smile with everyone. Even if the other person is a disgusting boy or an ugly girl, I still treat them equally and make friends with them."
"Just like that, I endured repeated nausea and became the person that everyone trusted. Whether it was classmates, teachers, family, friends, or even strangers, they all trusted and loved me."
"Yes, this is what I want! I will never lose to anyone in this regard! Only by gaining the trust of others can my life have meaning. Therefore, I will never let anyone discover my true identity and will not allow anyone to ruin my plans!"
Aragaki Shun listened to Kushida's confession with great interest. Even though the girl's final declaration was filled with murderous intent and seemed to be warning him as an insider, he didn't care.
He says one thing but does another.
Anyway, the girl's body is really comfortable to hug, so what's wrong with letting her be a little tough?
"But you said you had to endure the nausea to help those disgusting people. If you force yourself like this and don't vent your negative emotions, the taut string will eventually break."
"But why did you vent your anger by kicking the rooftop door? This is a public place after all, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Kushida Kikyo slapped the boy's restless hand away in dissatisfaction, and her moist eyes showed a threatening look as much as possible - if you go any further, I will bite you to death!
Aragaki Shun shrugged and could only take a step back, stopping everything outside the girl's skirt.
"What do you think I'm thinking?" Kushida turned slightly to make himself more comfortable and began to curse. "Those bastards are just idiots who haven't fully developed their brains. They pour out some incomprehensible things to me every day."
"Some people secretly hooked up with their best friend's girlfriend, some people specifically hooked up with working adults, and some people secretly stole their best friend's high-end skincare products... They treated me like a trash can, confiding in me no matter how outrageous their affairs were. It was so disgusting that I wanted to vomit."
"But not only can I not show disgust, I have to comfort them with a fake smile and comfort them. Only after they have finished dumping their emotional garbage can I hold my stomach and retch alone."
"Finally, I couldn't help it anymore. To prevent myself from completely breaking down, I secretly and anonymously uploaded all these secrets to the Internet."
"And then this matter was discovered, and everyone knew that you leaked their secrets?" Aragaki Shun roughly guessed how things would develop. If it hadn't been discovered, Kushida would probably still be venting on the Internet.
"Haha~ They wanted to isolate me because of this, and since they felt threatened, I just exposed all their negative interpersonal information."
Kushida sneered as he recounted his feat, "The boys started fighting each other, the girls started pulling each other's hair, and the whole class became a battlefield amid internal suspicion and confusion."
"By the time the school finally intervened, the class had completely fallen apart and couldn't get back together. The school had no choice but to suspend everyone and send them home to calm down."
Aragaki Shun: "..."
How should I put it? It's just some interpersonal scandals, but it can develop to this point. It's really exaggerated.
I’ve lived long enough to see that there are so many talented people in this world!
After saying all this, Kushida still had a savage smile on his face. "Hehe~ Well, Aragaki-kun, now you know what I'm capable of, right? Now, do you want to guess how much dirt on Class A I've gathered?"
"It should be 0," Aragaki Shun said, unconcerned about the threat. "After learning the truth about this school, I warned everyone in Class A to be careful of the defective products in Class D."
"Among them, you, Hirata, seem to be out of place in Class D and require special attention."
"I%¥#, so it's you. No wonder no matter how hard I try, I can't get the students in Class A to reveal their secrets. I thought it was because of the class gap."
"So after being exposed once, you chose to change your method of venting?" Aragaki Shun avoided Kushida's glare and asked with a strange expression, "But kicking the rooftop door at night is more likely to be discovered than venting online, right?"
"And once you're discovered, there's no room for excuses... But even in such danger, haven't you ever considered changing your pursuit?"
"Haha~ You really are so high and mighty. Do you think everyone is like you, that they can easily reach the top in any field?"
A sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of Kikyo Kushida's mouth. It turned out that it was difficult for people to understand each other.
She thought...
"No, my advice is, if you can't get first place on your own, have you ever considered having a boyfriend who can?"
123. A lifetime of enlightenment; the practice of cheating
If you can’t get first place on your own, then find a boyfriend who can?
A bunch of question marks appeared on Kushida Kikyo's little head.
What's the point of this kind of thing?
What she needs is to stand at the center of the stage, to be noticed and admired...
Hiss~ Wait, if her boyfriend is Aragaki Shun, then he can probably, seem to, perhaps, really fulfill her needs?
"It seems you already understand," Aragaki Shun smiled, raising the hand that was around the girl's slender waist and gently stroking Kushida's cheek, allowing her to meet his eyes. "Putting your inability to do something on the right person is also a shortcut, isn't it?"
"Just like raising an outstanding child can earn parents respect among their friends and family, for a girl, dating an exceptional boyfriend can obviously make her the envy of everyone."
"More importantly, as long as you become my girlfriend, others will definitely consider my existence when they are with you. My status, wealth, fame, and power can all be shared with you."
Kushida Kikyo's expression suddenly became uncertain.
At this moment, she thought a lot.
Napoleon once said: "Men conquer women by conquering the world; women conquer the world by conquering men."
Maybe she doesn't need to pursue the first place, she just needs to keep the person who can definitely take the first place in her hands.
Compared to exhausting all efforts to please everyone in order to gain their trust, this path of only pleasing Aragaki Shun is obviously easier.
At least during her time at High School, as long as Aragaki Shun became her boyfriend, she would definitely become the talk of the school in the first place.
By then, most of the girls in the first grade will openly approach her, and then secretly envy and be jealous of her, wishing to replace her.
The boys who are burdened with heavy debts will certainly not dare to offend her, the ambitious students who are eager to be promoted to Class A will flatter her, and all those who have something to ask of Aragaki Shun will show kindness to her.
When he thought of that scene, Kushida suddenly felt that becoming Aragaki Shun's girlfriend seemed to be a good choice.
Putting aside other benefits, in Class D, as long as she obtains the identity of Aragaki Shun's girlfriend, she can easily suppress Karuizawa Megumi, who was supported by him, and she will also have the opportunity to take control of that annoying Horikita Suzune.
As for feeling sorry for my friend Wang Meiyu, the worst that can happen is that I can just send her a video so that she can feel a sense of participation.
"What do you think?" Aragaki Shun looked at the hesitant Kushida and said, "It's hard to say what the future will hold, but during your three years at Advanced Idol High School, as long as you are willing to fulfill your obligations as a girlfriend, I will do my best to support all your needs at school."
"Words are not enough, but as a guarantee, I can give you 10 million personal points every year, which is 30 million in three years. You should understand what such a huge amount of personal points means in this school, right?"
Twenty million personal points equals a place in Class A, and the remaining ten million can not only meet her own daily needs, but also allow her to have enough money to solve the difficulties of other people in the class and thus gain their trust.
This thought flashed through Kushida's mind instantly.
But for some reason, she wasn't so moved anymore.
The girl's expression became even gloomier, and she slapped away Aragaki Shun's right hand that was touching her cheek.
She suppressed the nameless anger rising in her heart and asked in a cold voice, "You want to support me?"
"To be honest, I just think that material conditions are the foundation of all relationships."
Aragaki Shun wasn't flustered at all and spoke frankly, "From what I know, most high school romances are based on fleeting passion. Very few actually make it to the end and have a happy marriage."
"Perhaps after leaving this school, we will be forced to go our separate ways and never see each other again, so we'd better sort out all the details from the beginning."
After a brief pause of a few seconds, and after Kushida had taken his words in, Aragaki Shun changed the subject again, "Of course, if you are willing to do so, I wouldn't mind becoming your true lover, but if you choose this path, you'll never be able to escape!"
"I will seriously consider our future together. After graduating from Koukou Ikusei High School, I will first find a way to amend the marriage law in Sakurajima, then do a good job of convincing Ayase, and then resolve the issue of both sides' parents..."
"Stop stop!!!"
Kushida interrupted Aragaki Shun's plan with a confused look on his face, "Let's not talk about why we suddenly jumped to the question of a lifetime. The key is why the marriage law needs to be revised, and who is Ayase?"
"She's my adopted sister, and the fiancée the Aragaki family arranged for me," Aragaki Shun said frankly, without any intention of hiding anything. "Although I can refuse, I'm not comfortable letting Ayase marry someone else."
Kushida Kikyo: "......"
"So, you already have a fiancée, but you still want to invite me to be your girlfriend?"
"Ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends break up after two or three years. They won't be together forever anyway, so do they need to consider getting married?"
Faced with such a question from Aragaki Shun, Kushida twitched the corners of his mouth and suddenly felt that he could not refute it.
As someone who has listened to countless people's secrets, she knows how fragile "love" is.
Not to mention adults, even in junior high school, many people regard dating and breaking up as normal.
If you really want to be picky, a boyfriend like Shun Aragaki, who made it clear from the beginning and was willing to spend 10 million every year, seems a little too sincere.
After all, with the handsome appearance and temperament that are hard to find in the world, even if he becomes a gigolo, there will definitely be plenty of rich women willing to spend a fortune on him.
If he really wanted to announce that he lacked a girlfriend, at least half of the girls in High School would be willing to offer themselves to him.
Not to mention two or three years, even if it’s just one night of love, it’s a huge profit!
"Or, Kushida, do you actually want a relationship that lasts forever?" Aragaki Shun and the girl pressed their foreheads together, each able to feel the other's breath. "That's fine too. I promise I can deal with all worldly obstacles."
