Ke Xue Lu Ren Wang

At 11:10 p.m., Toru Hanyu returned home.

After putting down his schoolbag, changing into his pajamas, and washing up in the bathroom, he lay in bed and began to think about tomorrow's plans.

I'm going to Ooka Momiji's karuta training session on Saturday.

He also received a date invitation from Sonoko Suzuki over the weekend.

The time he originally planned to use for studying is now completely booked. But he's not too worried.

The improvement in memory and reaction speed brought about by the "conditioned reflex arc" is real. The learning efficiency has more than doubled compared to before, and I can remember about 70-80% of the content in the review book after just one look.

Since I have some free time tomorrow morning, I can go to the library to browse some books, so it's not too urgent.

Thinking of this, Toru Hanyu picked up his phone and opened Line.

In Sonoko Suzuki's chat window, the last message was from a few hours ago.

"How did things go?"

He sent a message.

Not long after, the message popped up again.

"It's been resolved, Yuzuru-kun, don't worry~"

"What happened?"

"The little girl has been found, Uncle Mori has deduced the location, Conan and Ran have found the kidnapper's hiding place first, and Inspector Megure has now taken the culprit away."

"That's good."

Yuzuru didn't expect the kidnapping case to be solved so quickly. Conan's crime-solving efficiency is truly remarkable. Although it seems a bit absurd that an elementary school student is constantly chasing after cases, the result speaks for itself, and you can't deny it.

Afterwards, Toru Hanyu and Sonoko Suzuki chatted casually for another half hour.

They chatted until she got home, then said goodnight to each other and ended the conversation.

……

Saturday.

At 6:30 a.m. sharp, Toru Hanyu got up on time.

After a quick warm-up, he went out and began his daily morning workout.

The changes brought about by adding points to physique are visible to the naked eye.

I have so much more energy than before. I used to be out of breath after running five kilometers, but now I can do two sets of strength training after running.

His weight also increased from 60 kg to 65 kg.

The muscle lines in his arms and abdomen became increasingly clear, and a piece of abdominal muscle even began to emerge faintly.

At this rate, he felt he was not far from being "muscular when undressed and slim when dressed".

I was exercising in the park until nine o'clock when my phone vibrated.

It's news from Yuko Morishita.

"Yuzuru Hanyu, you're almost there!"

"I'll be there in a bit."

Around 9:20, Toru Hanyu arrived at the Beika Library.

This is a three-story white building, not particularly large, but it's the most presentable public library in the area. Two neatly trimmed ginkgo trees stand at the entrance, and an old bronze plaque hangs above the automatic door.

As you push open the door, the cool air from the air conditioner hits you in the face.

"Hanyu-kun, you're here?"

The sound came from behind the bookshelf on the right.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man in a white shirt peeked out from behind the counter. He had thick eyebrows, wore frameless glasses, had a kind face, and a smile on his face.

"Mr. Yutian".

Yuzuru nodded.

This man is named Kazuo Tamada, and he works at the library. He and Yuko Morishita used to come here often to read books, and they became familiar with each other over time.

"By the way, your friend is reading over there."

Tamada Kazuo pointed to the bookshelf at the far end of the hall.

Yuzuru looked in the direction he was pointing, but stopped abruptly after taking only two steps.

At the far end of the bookshelf, next to Yuko Morishita sat a boy who looked half a head taller than her. He was wearing a dark blue hoodie, typing furiously on his phone, and occasionally grinning foolishly at the screen.

Yuzuru walked over and casually pulled up a chair.

"morning."

Yuko Morishita looked up, saw him coming, and put down the book she was holding.

"Hanyu-kun, you've finally arrived. Let me introduce you."

She stepped aside and patted the boy next to her on the shoulder.

"This is Kozo Morishita, my younger brother. He just started high school at Teitan High School this year."

Upon hearing this, the boy looked up, put away his phone, and stood up somewhat awkwardly.

"Hello there."

Yuzuru extended his hand.

Kozo Morishita hesitated for a second, shook hands briefly, then quickly sat back down on the stool and prepared to take out his phone again.

"Kozo, this is the Yuzuru-senpai I've been telling you about. He has excellent grades, and you can ask him anytime if you have any questions."

Yuko Morishita introduced with a smile.

"I know..." Kozo Morishita said softly, "I've heard the girls in my class mention it."

"I didn't expect I to be so famous."

Yuzuru raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It seems that Yuzuru-senpai was called into Professor Uei's office that time, and a lot of people saw it..."

Kozo Morishita looked at Toru Hanyu and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"..."

Yuzuru was taken aback, not expecting that even Morishita Yuko's younger brother knew that he had been called to the office.

That was after his online romance was leaked, and Uei Shion called him to her office for a talk.

"Hahahaha..."

Yuko Morishita clearly remembered that incident as well, chuckled a few times, and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Yuzuru-kun, where are you in your studies now?"

Yuzuru stopped dwelling on it, took out his senior year review book from his bag and spread it on the table, then got up, walked to the bookshelf, picked out a book he hadn't finished reading last time, and sat down.

Yuko Morishita glanced at the progress bar of the review book and found that the other person had almost finished learning.

"I've finished reviewing the key points for the senior year of high school."

Yuzuru opened the table of contents of the book in his hand.

"As expected of you."

Yuko Morishita spoke calmly, clearly already used to this kind of behavior.

"By the way, Yuzuru-kun, are you sure you want to go into medicine?"

"Um."

Yuzuru nodded and gave a casual reply.

He flipped through a couple of pages of the book, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kozo Morishita lower his head and frantically type on his phone, the screen filled with pink chat bubbles and emojis.

"Why did you bring your brother today?"

"Sigh...it's a long story..."

Yuko Morishita sighed, and the sigh was quite heavy.

She lowered her voice and leaned closer.

"My brother, like you, also met a girlfriend online."

"..." Yuzuru remained silent, signaling to continue.

"I feel like they haven't been dating for more than a few days, and then today he insisted on going to see that female online friend, saying he wanted to give her something."

Yuzuru looked up from his book and glanced at Kozo Morishita.

To be honest, my first impression wasn't bad.

He has an average appearance, but his height is quite good. At 1.75 meters, he is considered quite tall for a first-year high school boy in Japan. He has regular features, but his temperament is a bit shy.

With these circumstances, meeting a girl through normal social interaction shouldn't be difficult, right? How did you end up on the path of online dating?

However, he doesn't seem to have the right to criticize others.

"It's outrageous, isn't it? I told him I have a friend who also dated online, but the guy turned out to be a player and dumped her. But my brother just won't believe it!"

Yuko Morishita couldn't help but complain as she looked at her younger brother who was still playing on his phone.

Yuzuru almost dropped the book in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"I think you could use a different example next time."

Yuzuru felt offended.
