People are teaching, my love stock market just wants to be full

Just as the boy was lost in thought, the phone in his pocket vibrated again.

Hashima Hikaru opened his phone screen and saw that it was indeed a message from Kushida Kikyo.

Kushida Kikyo: Wait for me in your dormitory after school, I have something to say.

A few seconds later, the second message arrived.

Kushida Kikyo: Don't stand me up, okay?

After seeing this chat message, Mitsuru Hashima suddenly laughed. This guy is really angry.

Hashima Hikaru: I'll be waiting for Kushida-san, so please rest assured.

After putting down his phone, the boy smiled and shook his head.

Let me look forward to it, Kushida-san.

Chapter 118: Kushida wants to show his cards?

Because the midterm exams are over, the group study sessions that have been going on can be temporarily suspended. Everyone has been working hard during this period, and Ichinose Honami thinks that it is time to let the students relax and enjoy campus life.

After school, Hikaru Hashima received a text message from Kikyo Kushida, so she turned down Shibata and the others' invitation to a party and left the classroom immediately.

In any case, after successfully lowering Kushida's stock price to the initial price, we need to think carefully about what to do next. This guy has been proven to be a pretty good test product. Both raising and lowering the stock price have been tested. In a sense, he is a very easy person to deal with.

In addition, Kushida even revealed the class information directly to Hashima Hikaru for Horikita Suzune. This incident shows that she is a person who will do anything for her own benefit.

With such personality traits, coupled with her extremely high social skills, she is a very suitable tool no matter how you look at it.

Hikaru Hashima is confident that he can control the other person, so if he continues to maintain close contact with her, he may get unexpected surprises.

After returning to the dormitory, Hashima Hikaru simply tidied up her room, took out fruity drinks and clean glasses to entertain the guests, and then sat at the table waiting for Kushida Kikyo to arrive.

About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"coming."

The young man smiled slightly, stood up and opened the door of the dormitory. The person who came in was naturally the girl with delicate short hair, but at this moment there was no expression on her face. She just stared coldly at Hikaru Hashima who opened the door for him.

"Please come in, Kushida-san."

After pretending not to notice anything, Hashima Hikaru invited Kushida into his room, filled the prepared glass with the drink, and handed it to him.

"I don't drink!"

Kushida's attitude was not as cooperative as last time. After entering Hashima Hikaru's room, she completely took off her disguise. Her pretty face was covered with condensed frost, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

"Really? In such hot weather, drinking this can help cool you down, Kushida-san."

Seeing Kushida's straightforward expression of not pretending anymore, Hashima Hikaru found her look more interesting, much better than the fake gentle look she put on in front of others.

"If you don't want to drink, then don't." The boy spread his hands, placed the cup on the table, stared at the other person's face and asked slowly: "Why did you rush to see me today? Is there something wrong, Kushida-san?"

"Aren't you very smart? Can't you guess why I came to you?" Kushida said coldly.

"Well, I can probably guess a little, but I haven't breached the contract."

Hashima Hikaru shook his head and explained gently, "It was Horikita who contacted me this time. I didn't contact her again as agreed with Kushida last time."

"But isn't the result still the same?"

Kushida recalled what happened in class just now, where everyone was praising and discussing Horikita's abilities.

Obviously, this woman always looked down on everyone and liked to mock everyone with words, but she still gained everyone's approval by borrowing points from Hashima Hikaru.

This is something that Kikyo Kushida cannot accept. Her wish is that everyone hates her rather than becoming her fans.

"You generously lent me so many points, and you can use the opportunity of her paying you back to continue the contact with her. Isn't this a way to get close to her?" Kushida Kikyo slammed the table hard, and the anger in her heart completely poured out.

"Ah."

Seeing the anger on her face, Hashima Hikaru just smiled and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he changed his mindset and communicated with Kushida. After all, the time was ripe and it was time to talk it out.

"What are you laughing at!" Looking at the smile on the boy's lips, Kushida felt like he was being looked down upon by him, and his heart grew angrier.

"Actually, Kushida-san really hates Horikita-san, right?"

Hashima Hikaru took a sip of his drink and spoke calmly to the short-haired girl opposite him.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Kushida Kikyo did not show any panic. After all, she had made some mental preparations before coming and had also preset relevant scenarios.

As she had more and more opportunities to spend time with Hikaru Hashima, her thoughts about the boy had changed. Perhaps the way he pretended to like her was totally fake, and he might have contacted her with other purposes.

However, in order to prevent his secret from being revealed, Kushida chose to play along with him and continued to play the role of wanting to make friends with Horikita Suzune.

But what happened today has exceeded her tolerance limit. She feels that perhaps in a place she doesn't know about, the relationship between these two people has already become very close.

So she had to take the initiative, figure out the whole situation today, and take back the initiative.

"So what do you want to say? That I'm a liar?" Kushida Kikyo asked back with a sinister smile on her face.

"Well, I didn't say that."

Hashima Hikaru shrugged. After noticing the determination in the girl's eyes, he seemed to understand something and immediately said, "It seems that Kushida-san is much more honest when she's not wearing a mask."

"Yeah, I feel more relaxed when I'm not wearing a mask, but I'm not as relaxed as some people," Kushida suddenly poked his head closer to Hashima Hikaru, observing the faint smile on his face and asked softly, "Hashima-san seems to never take off his mask, right? That's much more impressive than me."

"Perhaps everyone has a side that they don't want others to see."

Facing Kushida Kikyo's active scrutiny, Hashima Hikaru said calmly: "Don't change the subject, Kushida-san. Actually, you really hate Horikita-san, right?"

"You should already have the answer in your heart, why are you asking me?" Kushida Kikyo did not admit it directly, but observed Hashima Hikaru's expression and asked her next question.

"But compared to that, I'm more curious about Hashima-san's attitude."

"What attitude?"

"Do you really like me?"

This was actually a showdown. Although she believed that the other party liked her before, after experiencing several situations where she lost control, Kikyo Kushida no longer wanted to continue to play dumb tacitly.

She actually came here today for two purposes.

First, we need to confirm the extent of this guy's contact with Horikita Suzune.

Second, determine whether it can continue to be used. If it cannot be used, it must be abandoned as soon as possible.

"Really? Kushida-san, why do you have to ask that?"

Hashima Hikaru shook his head slightly. He had actually figured out Kushida's thoughts. This guy probably felt that things were completely out of his control, so he planned to show his hand.

But he didn't dare to completely reveal his true feelings, after all, he still knew some of her secrets.

"Then why don't you want to answer?"

"Like it, or don't like it?"

"If it's just a simple answer to this question, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?" Kushida Kikyo spoke faster, and there seemed to be a mad light flashing in her eyes.

"It seems we can't reach a consensus. Really, won't this make things even more troublesome?"

Hashima Mitsuru spread his hands and decided to proceed to the next round of tests.

"Well, let's skip this topic and move on to the next stage."

“And the topic is…”

"Why are you so uneasy, Kushida-san?" Hikaru Hashima's tone was very gentle as he looked at Kushida's little face.

"!"

The short-haired girl's heart skipped a beat. She immediately raised her head and looked at the boy. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Do you really know something?"

"Is that really the case?"

After seeing the other party's expression, Hashima Hikaru sighed, then slowly extended his right hand towards Kushida Kikyo.

"Kushida-san, could you please hold my hand first?"

"..."

"What do you want to do?" The short-haired girl was a little confused as to why he did this, with a strong sense of defensiveness in her eyes.

"Can you hold it first? What I'm about to say... is the truth that Kushida-san wants to hear."

Although Hashima Hikaru's eyes were calm, he was actually a little nervous inside because he wanted to perform an operation that was not complicated to say, but he was not 100% sure about the result.

The method is to first put pressure on the other party to make her feel frustrated and angry, and then express your own gentleness and kindness to make her fall into the trap again.

It is commonly known as giving a hard time and then giving a sweet date, but whether it will be effective for Kushida depends on the specific implementation results.

One advantage of doing this is that you can continue to build a relationship of trust based on what has already been revealed. After all, if you want to increase the stock price, it will be the end if the relationship really breaks down.

Besides, Kushida's attitude is already so obvious, there is no point in continuing to play dumb, so it is better to take this opportunity to advance to the second stage of getting along.

Anyway, this guy didn't know about the existence of the system, and he couldn't imagine why Hashima Hikaru would use Horikita Suzune to get closer to her.

"Is there a single word of truth in your mouth?" Kushida laughed contemptuously, looking as if he didn't believe it at all.

"This is a very important opportunity. If Kushida-san really doesn't want to know, then our conversation will end here." Hashima Hikaru's tone was still calm, but Kushida on the opposite side felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Humph!"

"Then I'll just listen to it."

After hesitating for a moment, the short-haired girl stretched out her fair and tender little hand and clasped it on Hashima Hikaru's broad palm.

When their skin touched each other, Kikyo Kushida immediately felt a warmth coming from the other's palm, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

The previous conversation made Kushida realize one thing, that is, her body actually does not reject close contact with Hashima Hikaru. After realizing this, she even felt a little irritated.

"I read a passage before that said if words can't convey the meaning well, you can add an extra layer of weight and use physical contact to convey the emotion," Hikaru Hashima said after holding Kushida's hand, and smiled softly. "So if we put our palms together, perhaps I can make Kushida-san understand my thoughts more deeply."

"How do I know you don't just want to take advantage of a girl?" Although Kushida's tone was still tough, her little hand lay obediently in Hashima's palm without moving.

"Well, just take it as it is."

Hashima Hikaru calmed himself down and began to explain his thoughts: "I can probably tell the change in Kushida-san's thinking from the beginning to the end. That's why I feel you're uneasy."

"Then tell me."

Kushida's expression remained indifferent, but his eyes were much more serious.

Chapter 119: Plan to Tame Kushida, launched!

"Then I'll start talking."

Hashima Hikaru held Kushida's hand and spoke calmly about his analysis.

"First of all, why would Kushida-san want to be friends with Horikita-san? On the one hand, it might be because of Kushida-san's wish. After all, you said you wanted to be friends with everyone."

"Huh, what next?"

"On the other hand, there is this series of abnormal behaviors." Hashima Hikaru listed what he observed.

"For example, you clearly wanted to be friends with Horikita-san, but that night you were kicking the railings and insulting Horikita-san?"

"..."

"Also, regarding my interaction with Horikita-san, it was clearly just a normal interaction, but it caused such a big reaction from Kushida-san. There must be a deeper reason."

"So you guessed it last time, but still chose to make up an answer to deceive me?" Kushida raised his eyebrows, with a hint of anger in his words.

"As for this, let's just treat it as the past. We're talking about something new now."

Hikaru Hashima remained unmoved and continued his analysis, "And my only guess is that Horikita-san might be holding some secrets about Kushida-san."

"And this secret is very important. Perhaps, just like that night, if it were known to others, it would affect Kushida-san's reputation," the boy sighed, "so Kushida-san took the initiative to let me..."

"Shut up! Don't talk about that!"

A blush suddenly appeared on the short-haired girl's pretty face, instantly interrupting his speech.

"Oh, okay, I won't mention this then."

Hashima Hikaru glanced at Kushida's evasive look, smiled inwardly, and continued, "And if this analysis is correct, then it explains why Kushida-san is uneasy."

"You're actually worried that if I become friends with Horikita-san, I might learn this secret from her, and that could affect your reputation, right?"

"..."
