Chapter 87: The exam went pretty poorly. [Please subscribe automatically]

"This...this...this..."

Fumino Furuhashi stared at the test paper in her hand, her face pale. She had only scored 28 points in math. There was nothing more humiliating than this.

Even though Dongfang Bai had given her extra tutoring before the exam, and the tutoring covered only the topics that were on the exam, her math score was still only this low.

The difference between a score of 100 in Chinese and 28 in math is quite significant, leaving one speechless.

"Bai Bai Bai... Bai Jun? How did your exam go?"

Fumino Furuhashi slowly turned her head, her movements stiff as a robot, while Dongfang Bai propped himself up on the table with one hand, looking at his test paper.

"Well, it's not particularly good."

Fumino Furuhashi swallowed hard, slowly peeked out, and saw that all the test papers had a big '100' mark on them. Her face turned from pale to ashen.

"……hiss."

Fumino Furuhashi gasped. This was terrifying! This guy had never really paid attention in class before!

That's right, under Fumino Furuhashi's 'accidental' observation, Dongfang Bai was either sleeping or playing on his phone during class, and he didn't listen to any of the lessons at all.

Except for Kirisu Mafuyu-sensei's classes where I couldn't be so unrestrained, the other classes were as relaxed and comfortable as sitting in a coffee shop.

But! Even so, this guy still did so well on the test, even though he hadn't listened to any lessons at all, which was a stark contrast to how hard I studied math.

Incredible! He even got 100 on a math test! Is this guy a monster?!

"..."

Dongfang Bai clicked his tongue slightly. He only got 92 points in world history. Sure enough, there was still something wrong with him. But even if he only got one or two questions wrong, it shouldn't have cost him eight points...

Could it be that Kirisu Mafuyu-sensei is pulling strings behind the scenes?

"Where...where is Megumi-chan?"

Fumino Furuhashi placed her last hope on Megumi Kato behind Dongfang Bai. Her expression was not particularly special, but unlike usual, she had a faint smile on her face.

"Thanks to Bai Jun, I did better on the exam this time than before."

Kato Megumi showed her exam paper. Her scores, which were usually around 70 points—neither high nor low, rather mediocre—were surprisingly above 80 points in several subjects this time…

Fumino Furuhashi's pupils gradually lost focus. She no longer had any fellow sufferers by her side. Could there be someone who scored even lower in math than her?

"Bai Jun! Please! Could you teach me math?"

Fumino Furuhashi clasped her hands together and pleaded with Dongfang Bai. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were very excited.

"Huh?"

Dongfang Bai curled his lips. If it were just a normal day, helping Fumino Furuhashi wouldn't be a big deal, since she was his deskmate and a beautiful girl.

But it seems a bit difficult for him to keep teaching her. Her aptitude for math is surprisingly poor, and I don't know why.

The saying goes that when God closes a door, He opens a window.

As for Fumino Furuhashi, the door to 'mathematics' was locked tight, as if it had been nailed shut with stainless steel nails. As for the window to 'literature', it was practically a skylight.

"Sigh, it still doesn't work...?"

Fumino Furuhashi sighed softly. Even Mafuyu Kirisu had given up on math, and now there was no one to teach her. Her only hope was Higashikata.

"How about this, I'll take you to the library today to try learning something."

After thinking it over, Dongfang Bai finally decided to help her. If she really couldn't teach him properly, then there was nothing he could do.

Besides, I can't just wander around outside all the time anymore; I have to go home and take care of that kitten, even though I haven't named it yet...

Last night, I argued with Fairy Sagiri and the other two for a long, long time, and we still couldn't decide on a name for the little black cat. None of them seemed quite right...

Originally, Dongfang Bai intended to simply call her "Xiao Hei," but both Yamada Elf and Sagiri rejected the idea...

She's a female kitten, and so cute! What's the point of giving her such a name?

Actually, Dongfang Bai was just too lazy to think of a name. He felt that calling it Xiao Hei would be simpler. In the end, the three of them had to give up and think of a name for it later.

"...Thank you so much, Mr. Bai!"

Fumino Furuhashi felt like she was about to cry; her long, sea-blue hair swayed like waves as she shook.

I've finally found someone willing to teach me math!

"Hey, watch out."

Dongfang Bai pointed behind Fumino Furuhashi. The two were standing way too close; if they were any closer, their faces would practically touch.

From other perspectives, this action looks like they're whispering intimately, especially considering this is a school.

"..."

Kato Megumi didn't say a word, just calmly watched the interaction between Dongfang Bai and Furuhashi Fumino. As Dongfang Bai's back seatmate, she basically saw this scene every day.

She even thought that if Dongfang Bai and Guqiao Fumino became a couple one day, wouldn't she have to eat dog food every day just by being close to them? Luckily, she was a nobody and wouldn't be noticed.

Fumino Furuhashi turned around with a sudden realization, and the girls behind her abruptly shifted their gaze...!

Wow, so fast! They were so fast that they didn't even have time to react. They were chatting very naturally, and if Dongfang Bai hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have noticed the people silently watching them from behind.

"No way...?"

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched slightly. Could that 'rumor' be true? As one of the most popular characters in Toyonosaki, Furuhashi Fumino has her own 'bodyguard team'.

I quietly observe Fumino Furuhashi's every move every day, making sure I never disturb her life...!

In addition, there are Eriri Sawamura and Utaha Kasumigaoka. It seems that I only know these three so far...

"Let's go together after school, Kato, are you coming too?"

Dongfang Bai turned his head and asked Kato Megumi. Sure enough, it felt like a date when he went out alone with Furuhashi Fumino. It would be better to bring two more people along if possible...

Fumino Furuhashi seemed to have noticed this as well, her pretty face instantly turning red, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Sorry, I have to go back this afternoon."

Kato Megumi frowned slightly, looking apologetic, but ultimately she declined.

In other words, in the end, it turned out that Dongfang Bai and Fumino Furuhashi went out together?

Chapter 88 must be an illusion... right? [Please subscribe automatically]

This is so awkward, incredibly awkward. There's no situation more awkward than this.

Fumino Furuhashi walked slowly down the road, carrying her schoolbag, while Dongfang Bai walked beside her, shoulder to shoulder.

Although they were on their way to the library, they were both quite natural at first, but as they left the school gate, they felt like someone was watching them...

The sense of déjà vu was so strong that both of them froze.

So it really exists, right? That so-called 'Princess of the Ancient Bridge' fan club?

Fumino Furuhashi's face was slightly flushed. She walked silently to the side, and the two walked very close to each other, looking like a shy couple to onlookers.

【What should I do? What should I do? This is so embarrassing! I have to say something!】

Fumino Furuhashi remained silent on the surface, but she was actually about to explode inside. She felt that if she didn't speak, the atmosphere would become even more tense!

"Ah, the weather is quite nice today."

Fumino Furuhashi suddenly spoke up, and Dongfang Bai was taken aback before replying.

"...It should be pretty good."

He also glanced at the sky; it was a bit overcast today, the sun's rays barely reaching the clouds, making it a truly cloudy day...

[I'm doomed, I want to die...]

Fumino Furuhashi wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground. Why did they have to bring up this kind of topic? And she didn't even look at the sky before she said it.

What kind of nice weather is this?!

Dongfang Bai remained silent. He could tell that Fumino Furuhashi was very nervous. He guessed that this was probably the first time she had gone out alone with a boy her own age, so it was normal for her to be nervous.

It's best not to say anything to bother her right now; wait until she's thought things through before speaking...

As Dongfang Bai walked, he pondered how to develop Gan City. He had already visited Gan City Radiant Amusement Park yesterday and personally signed a contract with Latifa.

He looked closely and found no problems at all. In fact, there was no need to worry about Latifa having any 'schemes'. Dongfang Bai really couldn't tell that Latifa was the kind of treacherous child.

However, Gan Cheng needs to reach 500,000 visitors within three months, which is no small undertaking. Without considerable strength and a bit of luck, it would be very difficult to achieve.

Popularity.

This is very important. Dongfang Bai felt that he could leverage his popularity as a light novel author and use marketing methods unique to China, which should be of great help.

"Um...that, Mr. Shiro~."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Fumino Furuhashi suddenly called out to Dongfang Bai. He looked at Fumino strangely, wondering why she would choose to call him at this moment.

"That is...?"

Ok?

Following Fumino Furuhashi's gaze, they saw an arcade in the distance, with the sign above it reading 'Constellation Games'.

It's an arcade, and it's the one I frequent. Why do I always end up passing by here...?

"That's an arcade; they usually have video games and the like."

"Is...is that so?"

Fumino Furuhashi's gaze did not stop because of Dongfang Bai's words; she remained fixed on the arcade and showed no intention of leaving.
