Hikaru Hashima sat down at the seat opposite and opened the first book he had chosen.

"It's okay. I'm very happy to find someone who shares the same interests with me." Shiina Hiyori nodded, a gentle smile appearing on her little face.

"Then let's each start."

Although he intends to buy the other party's stocks to make money, Hashima Hikaru is currently restraining his attitude. Excessive enthusiasm is very strange. It is enough to open up some topics with mystery novels, and it is not advisable to rush.

It is best to arouse her interest and make her take the initiative to talk to you, so that you can proceed with the follow-up actions better.

So after saying the last sentence, Hashima Hikaru focused all his attention on the contents of the book in front of him.

I have to say that the story of the orthodox detective story is indeed very attractive. The interlocking plot makes the boy stare at the book in front of him motionlessly, without even any unnecessary movements.

Hiyori Shiina, who was sitting opposite him, lowered his head to read his book for a while, and then became a little concerned about the boy opposite him.

I finally found a like-minded person in this school, and judging from his focused look, he must be someone who loves mystery novels.

Shiina Hiyori really wanted to talk to him more. Even though he was a student in Class A, the girl was unwilling to involve her only pure land in class competition.

Well, just treat him as an ordinary student of the same grade.

Shiina Hiyori silently made a decision in his heart and turned his gaze back to the book in his hand.

After more than an hour had passed and it was almost six o'clock, Mitsuru Hashima finally closed the book.

He glanced at the time on his phone and prepared to stand up.

"Um, Hashima-san." The girl mustered up her courage and called out.

"What's wrong, Shiina-san?"

After hearing the other party take the initiative to talk to him, Hashima Mitsuru was delighted and opened the system's stock page without any hesitation.

Should I buy Shiina Nichiwa shares?

[Purchase successful, Shiina Nichiwa stock is now fully invested.]

[Currently holds 3000 Shiina Nichiwa shares, with 10600 remaining funds]

Although the funds are about to hit rock bottom again, Hikaru Hashima still holds a lot of high-priced stocks and can cash out at any time if he wants.

It depends on how the subsequent trading ideas should be arranged.

"Will Hashima-san come over to read books again in the future?" Shiina Hiyori's cheeks felt slightly hot. She actually mustered up the courage to ask this question. After all, it was only the second time they met each other, and it was a bit presumptuous to ask such a question.

"Tomorrow?" Hashima Hikaru pretended to recall something and said with some regret, "I might have to attend a study session tomorrow, so I probably won't be here."

"Oh, okay." A hint of loss flashed in Shiina Hiyori's eyes.

That's right, Hashima-san and I are not in the same class, so it's not easy to become friends.

"Well, how about we exchange contact information so we can communicate via phone in the future. Since Shiina-san and I both like mystery novels, maybe we'll have a lot of common topics."

After seeing the disappointment in the other person's eyes, Mitsuru Hashima suddenly understood that since she had taken the initiative to talk to him, he should naturally take advantage of the situation.

"Is it okay?" The boy looked at Shiina Hiyori expectantly.

"Well, I also think that Hashima-san and I should have a lot of common topics."

After hearing Mitsuru Hashima's request, Hikaru Shiina felt delighted and immediately took out her mobile phone to exchange contact information with him.

"Thank you Shiina-san today. I'm going back now. Bye."

"Well, see you later, Hashima-san."

Shiina Hiyori smiled and waved to the boy, her aura calm and soft.

You and Shiina Hiwa have exchanged contact information. She feels she's found a rare fellow mystery enthusiast. Shiina Hiwa's stock price has risen 10 points and is currently trading at 40.

"It seems I've chosen the right direction. This stock has nothing to do with class competition either. I must fight hard for it."

Mitsuru Hashima touched the two mystery novels in his hands, a smile on his face.

It is true that there are beautiful women in books. The ancients were not deceiving me.

Chapter 100 Sakura: What's that scent?

After exchanging contact information with the quiet girl Shiina Hikaru and agreeing to discuss novels together in the future, Hashima Hikaru's life became quite busy in the following period of time.

I went running for exercise in the morning, then went to the classroom to attend classes seriously with my classmates. After school, I took Ichinose Honami, Shibata Sa and others back to the dormitory for a study session.

Since the upper part of the dormitory building is the girls' dormitory and the lower part is the boys' dormitory, the school has set up a relatively important restriction rule, which is that boys are not allowed to go to the girls' dormitory upstairs after 8 o'clock in the evening.

If Hashima Hikaru wants to have a private study session with Sakura Airi, he has to hurry up, so his own group study session usually ends before dinner, and then everyone disperses and leaves his room.

But today something unexpected happened. After the study session, Ichinose Honami suddenly decided to cook a meal to reward everyone's hard work, so she took the initiative to act as the chef and asked several students who came to stay.

"Isn't it a bit hard, Ichinose-san? There are five of us in total."

Mitsuru Hashima looked at the girl in front of him who had taken off her apron, and was a little dissatisfied with this sudden development.

"It's okay. When I was at home, I was sometimes responsible for everyone's meals. Five people are not a problem for me at all." Ichinose smiled, with an inexplicable color flowing in her bright eyes.

"Or if you think I'll be too tired, Hashima-san, you can come and help me."

After the pink-haired girl put on the apron, she reached out her little hand and patted Hikaru Hashima, signaling him to tie the straps on her back.

"Well, after all, I am the master here, and I can't just leave everything to Ichinose-san."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of backing down, Hashima Hikaru sighed and went over to help Ichinose Honami tie the apron on her back.

Feeling the faint fragrance coming from in front of him, the young man murmured to himself.

"Ichinose-san is always like this, always giving for everyone."

"This is my habit. Would Hashima-san dislike it?"

After hearing the whisper behind her, Ichinose Honami replied in a very soft voice. She was already accustomed to the boy's close contact, and even felt a little attached to it.

Feeling the familiar masculine scent enveloping her, the girl's lips curled up into a smile.

"Of course not. I just hope Ichinose-san can think more about herself."

After tying the girl's apron, Hashima Hikaru stepped back and looked at the classmates sitting in her room, and called out to them, "Ichinose-san and I are going to make dinner together, so please look forward to the delicious food!"

"I see. Let me see your cooking skills, Hashima."

Shibata was holding a drink in his hand, his eyes falling on the man and woman standing side by side at the stove, with an amused expression on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ichinose-san and Hashima-san. We will return the favor next time." Himeno Yuki replied politely. She and Shiranami Chihiro next to her had just been tutoring in math and had received a lot of care from Ichinose.

"Thank you, Ichinose-san... and Hashima-san."

Chihiro Shiranami's eyes followed the pink-haired figure who was talking and laughing with Hikaru Hashima. The decision in her heart seemed to become increasingly unstable, forcing her to urgently seek a result.

"Hey, guess when these two will start dating."

Seeing that Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose were both immersed in the preparation of dinner, Shibata lowered his voice and asked the two girls in front of him with a smile.

"Are you talking about Hashima-san and Ichinose-san?"

Himeno's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a consensus among almost all students in Class A, and they were not stupid. It was no secret that Ichinose Honami often had dinner alone with Hashima Hikaru in the dormitory, and coupled with the way the two of them got along like an old couple, it was hard not to make associations.

"I think these two are very close. All they need is that final breakthrough to reach that point," Shibata said confidently, taking a sip of his drink. "Then our class will have the perfect couple. That's great!"

"I also think Hashima-san and Ichinose-san are a good match," Himeno nodded in agreement, gossiping softly, "I heard a while ago that a girl in our class wanted to confess her love to Hashima-san, but then she felt that there was no way she could compete with Ichinose-san, so she just gave up."

"Hahaha, that's right. I'm afraid boys have the same mentality. After all, apart from that guy Hashima, no one is worthy of Ichinose."

Shibata's expression was quite proud. He always claimed to be the best brother of Hashima Hikaru, and he had friends in every class that he could talk to, so he knew what many boys who had a crush on Ichinose Honami were thinking.

They simply didn't dare to take that step. After all, the existence of Yujima Hikaru made it almost impossible for anyone to have any desire to compete.

"Really... I feel like maybe they're just good friends."

Chihiro Shiranami, who was very clear about the discussions in the class, was actually very confused. After listening silently to the conversation between Shibata and Himeno, the girl expressed her own opinion, saying that there might be other possibilities.

"Shiranami-san really doesn't understand. Haven't you noticed that Ichinose-san doesn't mind having physical contact with Hashima-san?" Shibata pretended to be a love expert and pointed at the two people who were cooking over there.

"If they were just good friends, how could they get along so closely with the opposite sex? I think they'll become friends soon."

"Let's look forward to it together. Since Shiranami-san has such a good relationship with Ichinose-san, she probably also hopes that she can be with the person she likes." Himeno looked at Shiranami Chihiro's face and asked with a smile.

"Someone you like...?"

Shiranami Chihiro was slightly stunned, then she forced a smile and said, "Maybe. Everything will be decided by Ichinose-san."

About an hour later, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami came in front of everyone with a steaming hot dinner. Everyone hurried to help set the table, and then it was time to enjoy dinner.

The meal didn't end until almost eight o'clock. After cleaning the room and sending everyone away, Hashima Hikaru took a look at his cell phone.

Oh, is the time really over? I can't go to the eleventh floor now.

"But Sakura can come over, so it's not a big deal. Boys can't go upstairs after eight, but girls can go downstairs. That's the school rule."

Hashima Hikaru took out his cell phone and started sending messages to Sakura Airi. The girl had just sent a message asking about today's plans, but he reassured her by saying that the plans had changed and she would message back later.

Hashima Hikaru: Sakura-san, I have cleaned up the room now, you can come over.

Sakura Airi: Okay, I'll leave right away.

At this moment, the red-haired girl was standing in front of the mirror, hesitating.

I'm going to Hashima-san's dorm today...I think this outfit should be fine.

Would it be better if I changed into casual clothes? But it’s very late now, and it would be very troublesome if other classmates saw me wearing casual clothes on the street.

Then wear school uniform.

The girl who was constantly struggling finally chose to put on her school uniform jacket, and then checked her appearance in the mirror. When she studied with Hashima Hikaru before, she would not wear glasses, but would interact with the boy with her most real appearance.

However, today she was going to the third floor where Hashima Hikaru's dormitory was located. Even if she took the elevator, there was no guarantee that she would not meet other people, so Sakura Airi put on the pair of red-framed glasses without prescription and walked out of the room in a normal manner.

After waiting in the room for more than ten minutes, Hashima Hikaru finally heard a very faint sound at the door.

"Um, Hashima-san... I'm here."

"Really? If you keep your voice down any more, I really won't be able to hear you."

Hashima Hikaru was already waiting at the entrance, so he quickly reached out and opened the door.

"Um...Hashima-san, good evening." Sakura Ai greeted the boy shyly. This was her first time entering a boys' dormitory. Besides shyness, she was more excited and nervous.

"Well, good evening. Come on in, Sakura-san. Have you got your books?"

“I brought it with me.”

After stumbling through the simplest greetings, Sakura Airi was brought by Hashima Hikaru to the table in the bedroom.

"Just sit here. I'll go get some tea for Sakura-san."

After saying this gently, Hashima Hikaru turned and walked towards her refrigerator, while the red-haired girl began to secretly look around.

Is this Hashima-san's room?

Are all boys' rooms this simple? It seems like there's very little in there, nothing special, and no decorative items are visible. But the bed is neatly made, so Hashima-san seems like a very serious person.

but...

After Sakura Airi glanced at the general furnishings in the room, she suddenly smelled a scent that belonged only to girls.

What's this smell?

The girl's expression was a little strange. She looked up at Mitsuru Hashima who was walking towards her. The other party was holding two drinks with a gentle smile on his face.

"Orange juice, please? Sakura-san."

Hikaru Hashima handed the drink to the girl in front of him and began to take out his books at the same pace as before, preparing to review with her.

"Yeah, sure."

After holding the cup of water with both hands and taking a sip obediently, Sakura Airi was a little concerned about the fragrance she smelled.

But when she looked at the boy who had already taken the books and notes, and the serious expression on his face, the concern in her heart was quickly suppressed.

Sakura Airi decided not to be curious about this matter for the time being, after all, asking might cause trouble for the other party.

I'm already very happy to be here. Hashima-san is my most important "friend" and I absolutely cannot make him angry.

Chapter 101: Girl and Girl's Feelings

When it was time to go home from school the next day, since there was no study session today, Hashima Hikaru was going to the library to find Shiina Hiyori. However, just as he stood up with his schoolbag, he was suddenly stopped by Ichinose Honami next to him.
