"Sonoko, your boyfriend is amazing!" Tomomi Matsuzaka exclaimed instinctively after reading the introduction on her phone, genuinely shocked.

Sonoko Suzuki glanced curiously at the other person's phone screen, and when she saw the tutor's homepage named "Toru Hanyu," she was stunned.

First place in Beika Town's junior high school entrance exam, tenth place nationwide...

After her initial shock, Sonoko Suzuki burst into an uncontrollable, silly laugh.

To be honest, she never expected that the "temporary boyfriend" she randomly bought online would be so amazing!

Looking back now, I realize that when Toru Hanyu said last night that his time was precious, he really wasn't joking.

"Sonoko, judging from your reaction, it seems like this is the first time you've realized how amazing Yuzuru-kun is?" Shimizu Chizuru recovered from her shock and keenly noticed Sonoko Suzuki's momentary astonishment, sensing that something was amiss.

"Uh..." Sonoko Suzuki's heart skipped a beat when she was asked this, but she remained calm on the surface. "Well... Yuzuru didn't tell me either... He only said that he was busy with his studies and had to tutor from time to time."

"Really? Why didn't you just tell me directly, Yuzuru-kun?" Shimizu Chizuru persisted, asking in the same way, trying to find a flaw in Suzuki Sonoko's reaction.

Faced with Chizuru Shimizu's persistent questioning, Sonoko Suzuki was clearly flustered. Her mind raced, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Helpless, she could only cast a pleading look at Yuzuru beside her.

Yuzuru received the signal and calmly took over the conversation.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to say it." He said casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Besides, I think that constantly talking about how great you are in front of girls is actually a very degrading thing to do."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt that it made a lot of sense.

Indeed, if Yuzuru Hanyu were to start by boasting about being a top student, they would find it quite off-putting.

After all, nobody likes someone showing off in front of them, especially someone as handsome as him.

But he didn't say anything, and it was only discovered by others that he was a tutor.

[Ding! Attention count +450]

Yuzuru was still quite surprised to receive another boost in popularity.

"Sonoko, didn't I remember your family was quite wealthy? Why did you have Hanyu-kun tutor you?" Tomomi Matsuzaka suddenly asked, breaking the brief silence.

"Yuzuru feels more accomplished when he makes money..." Sonoko Suzuki was smarter this time and spoke after thinking it over.

"That's true! Men have to be self-reliant! Getting good grades in school doesn't mean anything. In the end, what matters most is whether you can succeed in society!"

At this point, Sugiyama Yusuke, who had been silent all along, couldn't stand it any longer and finally spoke up.

Upon hearing this, another boy, Ueda Ryuya, quietly moved to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

This guy is a true warrior who initiates attacks when the tide is against him, always choosing to launch a strong offensive when others are riding high.

Is that what you call "a little" good grades? Tenth in the country! If someone like that just follows the right path, they'll be a key candidate for development in any big company, and if they do well, becoming a senior executive wouldn't be a problem.

"That's true." Yuzuru wasn't angry at all; instead, he nodded in agreement. "Society isn't just about good grades; it also involves interpersonal relationships."

This humility clearly demonstrates the difference in their abilities.

Yusuke Sugiyama blushed and wanted to retort, but found that the other party did not take the bait at all. It was like punching cotton, leaving all the words he had prepared stuck in his throat.

Tomomi Matsuzaka rolled her eyes in exasperation at her boyfriend's stupidity, feeling utterly annoyed.

Originally, I just came out for a get-together, but I didn't expect Sonoko Suzuki's boyfriend to be so outstanding. Looking at the idiot next to me who only talks nonsense, an indescribable sense of frustration welled up in my heart.

For a moment, the atmosphere that had just been warmed up fell into an awkward silence once again.

"Brother and sister, don't just chat! Let's have some fruit and snacks," Conan suddenly spoke up, breaking the awkward silence with his unique childlike voice.

"Alright, we've gotten to know Sonoko's boyfriend pretty well. Let's play the games when we start singing!" Chizuru Shimizu stood up to smooth things over, and handed Conan a few bags of snacks.

"I'll go first! I just requested a song, so don't be shy, everyone." Shimizu Chizuru's boyfriend, Ueda Ryuya, immediately stood up, took the microphone, and was eager to make a good impression and regain the face he had just lost.

"Then you'd better behave well today. If you do well, I'll reward you tonight~" Shimizu Chizuru looked at her boyfriend and winked ambiguously.

"Whoosh~ I'd better do my best!" Ueda Tatsuya was instantly energized.

At the same time, the intro to the background music started playing; it was a pop song with a strong rhythm.

Yuzuru sat quietly next to Sonoko Suzuki, watching everyone resume chatting and singing, as if the confrontation had never happened.

Just then, Toru Hanyu felt a slight itch on his neck.

He turned his head slightly and found that Sonoko Suzuki had somehow brought her head closer, her wispy bangs and strands of hair gently brushing against his neck.

The two were very close, so close that Yuzuru could clearly smell the faint perfume on Sonoko Suzuki. It smelled very nice, not cheap perfume.

"Oh, right, let's play Truth or Dare!" Tomomi Matsuzaka suddenly suggested, seeing that the singing atmosphere still hadn't quite warmed up.

"How do you play?" Yuzuru Tetsu had never played these games before.

"We'll designate specific challenges for us to compete against each other, like love song duets, and then we'll score each other. The team with the lowest score will be punished, and the team with the highest score will have to assign tasks to the other team," Tomomi Matsuzaka explained.

"For example?" Yuzuru understood the rules, but was more curious about the punishments.

"For example..." Tomomi Matsuzaka grinned mischievously, "Hold your girlfriend up in your arms without letting her touch the ground for a minute, or have the guy do push-ups while the girl sits on his back, at least ten."

Upon hearing this, Toru Hanyu subconsciously glanced at Sonoko Suzuki standing to the side.

The other person was looking at him with a flushed face, her cheeks burning hot.

The two were still very close; Yuzuru could even feel her hot breath on his cheek.

"Then don't drag me down, okay, Sonoko?" Yuzuru teased the girl jokingly.

"I...I can't..."

The close proximity of their whispered kisses, their breaths burning intensely, made Sonoko Suzuki's ears tingle, as if a ripple had spread from her ears throughout her entire body.
