I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

There was no one else in the classroom.

It's just me, Horikita, Kushida, and the three idiots left.

Teacher Anshu and her group, who usually eat lunch in the classroom, have also left. Come to think of it, it seems that they haven't eaten in the classroom since Aurelia came.

"Horikita-kun, are you really sure Sakura-san is the eyewitness?" Kushida asked with a sigh.

"As I mentioned last night, when Chabashira-sensei asked us to raise our hands to ask if there were any eyewitnesses the day before yesterday, everyone's expressions were either uninterested or disgusted and frowning. But apart from Sakura-san, not a single person lowered their head! Even when everyone was thinking about other things, they were all looking at Chabashira-sensei."

It's quite rare that Horikita would have such a long conversation with Kushida today.

Sakura Airi is very likely the eyewitness.

When Horikita came to see me last night, after Kushida pulled her into the room, this is what she said, and these are her exact words.

As for the reason, she just explained it again.

I watched as Horikita casually took out his lunchbox, wiped his chopsticks with a tissue, clasped his hands together, silently muttered a phrase, and began to eat.

Honestly, this guy's cooking skills are really good! Although I haven't eaten there, that doesn't stop me from giving my opinion.

She mentioned casually last time that the ingredients for the bento boxes she made were always the free vegetables and meats provided.

With just a few ingredients, you can make a whole box of beautiful bento boxes. I don't know if they taste good, but they certainly look great! And they smell really good, so I imagine they won't taste bad either.

If Horikita had been a little nicer, she probably would have been a decent wife.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"But this is just your guess, Horikita, it's not entirely certain," Ike said, shrugging and spreading his hands. "Didn't you see it yourself, Horikita? When Kokushida went up to ask Sakura, Sakura denied it!"

"It was precisely because of the way Sakura-san denied it just now that I became even more convinced that she was the eyewitness." Horikita glanced at him, probably annoyed by his flippant tone.

"Huh?" Ike didn't understand what she meant. He turned to look at Yamauchi and Sudo next to him, but the two of them also shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand either.

Well, they are a trio of idiots after all.

"Why are you even more certain now, Horikita-kun? Why would you say that?" This was Kushida's question.

Why has even Kushida become so...

Is intelligence contagious? Kushida has been hanging out with us a lot lately, so maybe they got infected, but why didn't I?

Horikita was getting impatient with the four of them not understanding, so she passed the question to me: "Ayanokouji, explain it to those four."

It's my fault again...

But why am I thinking of "again"?

###Chapter 499 The Three Idiots###

“Because of the way Sakura answered,” I slowly explained, clarifying their doubts. “Just put yourself in her shoes. If I asked Kushida if she was the eyewitness, how would she answer?”

Just answer no!

"Will Kushida-kun be surprised and shrink back because I asked you this question, and then anxiously deny it and leave?"

“You mean…” Kushida clapped his hands, probably following my words and recalling the details of Sakura’s denial, and suddenly realized.

Since things had been said to this extent, even the trio of idiots understood.

"Although Sakura is usually very introverted, it's normal for her to be startled and surprised at first. But she shouldn't have cowered, anxiously denied it, and then left. Besides, it was you, Kushida, who was talking to her! This must be what Horikita was trying to say."

Although they seemed to understand, I still added a sentence and glanced at Horikita to verify if my statement was accurate.

Horikita didn't look at anyone, but took another bite of rice and nodded noncommittally.

How leisurely...

"You're really something, Horikita! You figured it out so quickly!" Sudo said excitedly, looking at Horikita with great enthusiasm, but obviously, his enthusiasm received no response.

"So, Sakura-san said she's not willing to help?" Kushida looked at me, clearly asking for my answer.

I could only nod: "That must be it..."

"Damn it! There's no way to deal with that gloomy woman!" Sudo, who had just been met with a cold shoulder, vented his anger on her with a heavy snort.

"Sudo-kun, you can't just make such casual comments about girls!"

This made Kushida shout slightly annoyed, causing Sudo to obediently apologize.

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty! I won't do it again next time!"

Although Sudo may seem reckless, impulsive, and unapproachable, you'll find that he's actually quite easy to talk to after spending some time with him.

Of course, this might only apply to pretty girls.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment, and Chi seized the opportunity to quickly smooth things over.

"Wait, right, Yamauchi, didn't you tell me that Sakura confessed to you and you rejected her, making her cry her heart out?"

To be honest, while Ike's grades aren't great and he's a bit dim-witted, his interpersonal skills are top-notch; he knows exactly when to speak. (If I remember correctly, in the original story, Ike Kanji's teamwork skills surpassed those of Kushida, the class's most popular student!)

"What?" Yamauchi was momentarily confused when his name was suddenly called. "Did I say that?"

"Yes! Didn't you tell us last time that you received a love letter from Sakura, threw it in the trash without even looking at it, and said that you didn't like that gloomy and ugly woman at all, and told her to give up?"

"Oh, when did I say that? I didn't say that, did I?"

"Hey, you said it last time! Sudo was there too! Don't believe me? Ask Sudo! What do you say, Sudo?"

“Indeed, Yamauchi, you did say those things back then!” Sudo slapped his forehead, his memories also stirred by the pond, and his tone became dangerous as he questioned An Shu, “Yamauchi, you don’t actually want to help me, do you?”

"No way!"

I watched as Yamauchi hurriedly tried to explain, using both hands and feet: "Maybe I remembered wrong... Ah, right! I remembered wrong! The one who confessed to me was from the next class! She's the same type of ugly girl as Sakura! You know, I get confessed to by so many people every day, I can't even remember them all. It's easy to confuse those gloomy ugly girls of the same type! Hahaha."

As he spoke, Yamauchi waved his hand, feigning helplessness.

gloomy ugly woman

...Actually, if we only consider appearance, Sakura is by no means ugly. If she were more outgoing and generous, she could be considered a cultured girl with a scholarly air!

Yamauchi is bragging again...

Everyone knows the truth.

Just like last week he bragged to us about how an upperclassman begged him to date her, threatening to commit suicide if he refused, and he reluctantly agreed.

But to this day, I still haven't seen the senior student that Yamanouchi mentioned.

I really don't know what it was about Yamauchi that made her confess her feelings to him.

Relying on YY?

Do you think you're Teacher An Shu?

I think unless that non-existent senior is blind, she wouldn't even consider him.

Well, of course I can't say these things out loud, or our friendship will be over.

Speaking of which, it seems that only Yamauchi is not good at this part of the trio of idiots. The others are good at their own things.

For example, Sudo is good at basketball, and Ike has excellent social skills.

It's just a mountain area, nothing special.

So even among idiots, there are different social classes?

Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!

(A year has passed, and people are still reading this lousy book. I'm so happy!)

However... I guess you've all been annoyed by the endless stream of New Year's greetings on QQ groups all day, so I won't say anything more.

It's so great to have you all!

Finally, in conclusion, Happy New Year! Although you've all gotten a year older, may you continue to enjoy every day!

May everything go smoothly and as you wish in the Year of the Pig!

Yuyao wishes you all a Happy New Year!

(I originally planned to write a new chapter and post it together with this, so it's been delayed until so late...)

And even though it's so late, there's still no new chapter... (facepalm QAQ). I was dragged out to play by some friends, and I just got back, showered, and went to bed QAQ.

###Chapter 500 Daily Life (Happy Chinese New Year!)###

(' "Yes.

Holding the tea tray, An Shu handed the larger cup to the girl, and distributed the smaller cups to the other girls.

"Brown sugar ginger water, but apart from Hui-chan, don't drink too much of it! Drinking too much will cause cavities!"

Drinking brown sugar ginger water during a girl's period is good for her health. Even if it doesn't have any special benefits, it's still better than drinking more hot water.

When An Shu noticed the girl's pale complexion in the morning, she asked her a few more questions and learned that the girl was menstruating. In the afternoon, she came back and cooked some soup for her. Of course, she also made some for the other girls.

Although they do not menstruate like teenage girls.

An Shu tossed the empty tea tray onto the table, clapped his hands, and sat down. Seeing the little girl hand him her cup, he took it and placed it on the table. Then he reached out and picked up the little girl, placing her on his lap, before picking up his cup again.

She gave herself brown sugar water, not so that she would drink it herself, but so that she would feed it to her...

An Shu understood perfectly. And she was very self-aware.

"Ah..." An Shu gently scooped up a spoonful of ginger water, blew on it to cool it down, and held the spoon to the little girl's lips.

"Mmm—, sweet!"

After taking a small bite, the sweet taste made the little girl smile, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Speaking of periods...

The little girl in my arms is also starting to have this problem, because she needs to grow bigger every day.

Ok……

Is it really that pitiful to be a girl?

An Shu was lost in thought when she was awakened by the little girl's soft, gentle voice.
