My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

Fumino Furuhashi rolled her eyes with a smile on her face; if there were special effects, a big 'well' character might appear above her head.

She studied math very diligently, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't learn it. She would fall asleep after only a few minutes in class.

Basically, it's quite impressive if she can stay awake for even one out of ten math classes. Moreover, she previews the upcoming lessons every night and reviews them afterward!

But something was missing in her mind, and no matter what she did, she just couldn't learn it. She also had a friend who was very good at math, but to be honest, she didn't know how to teach, and she only got more and more confused the more she listened.

"Dongfang, could you teach me math sometime in the future?"

"Ah."

Dongfang Bai responded reflexively, but didn't raise his head, his eyes fixed on the phone in his hand. Fumino Furuhashi nodded in satisfaction.

Although many people had taught her math before and said she had no talent for it and should go to a liberal arts college, she really didn't want to give up her dream.

……

"All right."

The moment the bell rang, Dongfang Bai collapsed onto his desk. He had already experienced attending class once and really didn't want to go through it again.

Fumino Furuhashi, standing beside him, took out a large package from a drawer. Inside was an exquisite and beautiful dark red bento box, with two layers.

Dongfang Bai looked at her with some surprise. It seemed that her family was quite well-off, as her bento box was an exquisite two-tiered bento box.

Dongfang Bai took out a very ordinary blue lunchbox from his backpack. Inside were simple fried chicken nuggets and other food.

Although it was simple, it was a bento box that he specially made with meat and vegetables to make it nutritionally balanced. He was clearly a young master, yet he ate such a simple meal. If his adoptive grandfather saw it, he would probably scold him.

"Did Dongfang make his own bento?"

Suddenly, a very calm voice came from outside. When Dongfang Bai returned, he saw Kato Megumi staring at him with a calm and collected expression, and he was a little puzzled.

"Is Kato talking to me?"

"Yes."

Kato Megumi answered without changing her expression. To be honest, it was a little scary that she suddenly started talking to me like that, after all, it's like when you feel like there's no one around and someone suddenly starts talking to you...

"Yes, but how did you know?"

Dongfang Bai looked at her questioningly. Logically speaking, apart from his family, only a few childhood friends knew that he could cook.

"Guess."

Kato Megumi smiled slightly and took out her own bento box, which contained very simple side dishes.

This was the first time Dongfang Bai had seen her smile; she was quite cute, but he still couldn't understand why she had such a low profile...

"Kato, you're quite cute."

"puff……"

Fumino Kohashi, who was leisurely eating lunch next to Dongfang Bai, almost choked, although she looked like she didn't hear him.

But with her perked-up ears and slightly flushed face, it's obvious she's eavesdropping, isn't it?

"Although I was praised, being ignored three times didn't really feel like anything was real."

Kato Megumi, who had just been smiling, changed her expression back to normal, looking as if she wasn't happy at all even though she had been praised.

I'm so sorry!

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that even though she said she didn't care about this matter anymore, she still remembered those three times she forgot about him.

"It's alright. After all, it's not just Dongfang who doesn't seem to remember me either."

Although his face remained expressionless, his tone carried a slight hint of regret.

"I'm so sorry, Kato-kun!"

Fumino Furuhashi, who was standing next to her, suddenly turned around and apologized. She had only just remembered that there was a person named Kato Megumi behind her because of Dongfang Bai. She had only had a feeling that there was such a person in her mind.

However, the two have never spoken, and Kato Megumi has a passive attribute that allows her to conceal her presence to the maximum, so it's normal that Furuhashi Fumino doesn't remember.

Wait a minute! Could it be that my conversation with Dongfang Jun during class was...

Fumino Furuhashi suddenly noticed this, and her beautiful face immediately turned red. Pouring cold water on it at this moment might even cause steam to rise.

When she looked at Kato Megumi, she found that her expression had not changed at all, and she seemed very approachable and easy to get along with.

I don't think I'm the type to spread rumors.

"It's alright, I'm already happy that Furuhashi-kun remembers my name, isn't it?"

But couldn't you at least change your facial expression a little?

Dongfang Bai and Furuhashi Fumino were both internally complaining: Kato Megumi's personality seemed very easygoing and approachable, but there was something subtly off about her expressions and tone of voice...

Chapter 57 I Can't Read Minds? [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

Jingle Bell……

As a long series of bell rings, the day finally came to an end. Dongfang Bai barely wrote anything in class, spending most of his time chatting.

To be honest, chatting with my deskmate during class is really fun. Now I finally understand why so many students don't pay attention in class.

"It's over..."

Before Dongfang Bai stood up, he suddenly remembered a very important issue: he still had to go to Kirisu Mafuyu-sensei's house for tutoring later...

Even glancing at world history makes me sleepy, let alone studying it. Dongfang Bai felt that if he were to study this subject, he would fall asleep very soon.

"See you tomorrow, Dongfang!"

The blue-haired girl next to him tossed her smooth, shiny long hair and waved at Dongfang Bai.

"Goodbye, ancient bridge..."

Dongfang Bai spoke weakly, his mind filled with thoughts of how to deal with Teacher Tongxu later. She was exceptionally strict in class, not to mention in private one-on-one tutoring.

At that time, you won't be able to slack off even for a moment...

"What should we do? Should we just say we're not feeling well and go home?"

"If you say that, Kirisu-sensei definitely won't believe you, right?"

A calm, nonchalant voice came from the side. Kato Megumi stood beside him, holding her bag and staring at him with a flat expression.

"Huh? Kato, didn't you just go out?"

Dongfang Bai was taken aback. He had just clearly seen Kato Megumi leave the classroom with his bag, so why was she suddenly appearing next to him?

She always seems to appear suddenly next to someone, then naturally strike up a conversation and continue the topic...

"I forgot to bring my homework."

Kato Megumi pulled a blue notebook from her desk and put it in her bag.

"By the way, how did you find out about Kirisu-sensei?"

"Guess."

Kato Megumi's expression remained unchanged, still extremely calm, and it was impossible to know what she was thinking.

It would be a lie to say you're just guessing, right?

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. He clearly didn't believe that Kato Megumi could guess so accurately with just a casual guess. Could she read minds?

"I can't read minds, can I?"

Kato Megumi looked at Dongfang Bai's face and spoke in a very calm tone, completely unaware of the solemn expression on Dongfang Bai's face.

This girl... she really can read minds, right? She's actually a superpowered person, isn't she?

"Alright, I have to go home now. Dongfang should go to Mr. Tongxu's office too."

Kato Megumi checked the time, waved to Dongfang Bai, and left.

"She probably won't suddenly come back this time, right?"

Dongfang Bai muttered a complaint, stood up wearily, stretched, and then slowly walked towards Professor Tongxu's office, clutching his briefcase.

dong dong.

He knocked gently on the door, and soon Kirisu-sensei's voice came from inside. Dongfang Bai quickly went in, just as Kirisu-sensei had finished getting ready to come out.

"Alright, let's go."

Ms. Tongxu glanced at Dongfang Bai and then quickly walked ahead. Dongfang Bai thought to himself that she was indeed worthy of her, walking so fast even in high heels.

Then, the next second, she stumbled and almost fell...

……

"Ok?"

Kirisu Mafuyu looked at her magenta car with an extremely stiff expression, as if she had gone to the toilet without toilet paper.

She was now too embarrassed to even look at Dongfang Bai beside her.

"What's wrong with Kirisu-sensei?"

Dongfang Bai thought that Tongxu Mafuyu was going to drive him to her house for tutoring, but now he saw her standing there in a daze.

Judging from her flustered appearance, she most likely forgot her car keys. I never expected that someone as meticulous and rigorous as Ms. Kirisu would make such a blunder.

"A miscalculation, a miscalculation... What am I doing?"

Her face was extremely gloomy. Usually, it would be fine if she forgot, but this time it happened right next to Dongfang Bai. She had almost completely lost face as a teacher.

"...Does Dongfang only live with his younger sister now? What about your parents?"

Teacher Tongxu, carrying a shoulder bag, walked briskly ahead of Dongfang Bai, then suddenly turned around and asked a question.

"Yes, my mother has passed away, but my father is still in his hometown in China."

"so."

Kirisu Mafuyu gradually fell silent. She knew she had asked a rather inappropriate question. Had she inadvertently reminded Dongfang Bai of something unpleasant?

She seems to have misunderstood something terrible...
