Upon hearing this question, Fujiwara Chika's suspicious gaze faltered for a moment, then she stiffened and turned away, her lips slightly pursed, attempting to change the subject by whistling.
Unfortunately, her whistling produced no sound at all, and Ye Ziye ruthlessly exposed this fact.
“Secretary Fujiwara, answer my question. Besides, your whistling just now made no sound at all; it was just spitting.”
"Number one hundred and first..." (Seven)
There are two hundred first-year students at Shuchiin Academy. Ranking 100th isn't terrible, but it's definitely not outstanding either.
For most people, this kind of achievement might not matter, but Fujiwara Chika is different; she's the student council secretary. (Nine)
Actually, her original ranking was 91st, but because she was obsessed with writing novels for a while, her grades dropped.
Ye Ziye naturally knew about Fujiwara Chika's previous rankings, and even her current rankings; he was simply asking.
"Secretary Fujiwara, you didn't do too well on the exam this time. You dropped ten places, right?"
Fujiwara Chika didn't speak, but silently nodded, and moved to stand beside Shinomiya Kaguya. Part Two
At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes had lost their murderous intent. She was secretly amused, finding the two bickering quite entertaining, and it was one of her few sources of joy.
Ye Ziye didn't say anything either. There was no need for any words now. He could just let Fujiwara Chika's emotions ferment on their own. Saying anything more would be superfluous.
"Ye Zi, you big idiot!"
Not long after, Fujiwara Chika couldn't hold back any longer. She pouted and threw herself into Shinomiya Kaguya's arms, her tone unusually aggrieved.
As for Ye Ziye, the culprit who caused this, his expression remained calm. He didn't want to make a big fuss, but Fujiwara Chika talked too much.
Looking at Fujiwara Chika in her arms, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression turned troubled. She had only wanted to be an outsider and watch the show, but she hadn't expected to get involved.
But Fujiwara Chika had already thrown herself into her arms, crying, so she had no choice but to comfort her.
"Alright, Fujiwara-san, even though you didn't do well on this test, you can try harder next time."
Kaguya Shinomiya was ultimately the person Chika Fujiwara loved most, and her comforting words did have some effect.
"really?"
Kaguya Shinomiya wanted to say it was true, but before she could speak, Ye Ziye interrupted and said...
"It's highly unlikely. The club you joined is the board game club, which means you spend most of your free time playing (Zhao's). You don't have time to study at all. Even if you did have time to study, you couldn't surpass me. That's unrealistic."
Ye Ziye's tone was indifferent, as if he were stating something that had nothing to do with him, and after he finished speaking, Fujiwara Chika's lips pursed even more.
"You big idiot Ye Zi barged in!"
After the sorrowful cries subsided, Fujiwara Chika once again threw herself into Shinomiya Kaguya's arms, no longer looking at Yoko.
Kaguya Shinomiya, on the other hand, was even more troubled and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Ziye, even though she had already tried to comfort him.
Ye Ziye scratched the back of his head, feeling that he hadn't said anything wrong and that what he said was true. So why was Fujiwara Chika even more heartbroken?
Girls are truly a very difficult creature to understand, from ancient times to the present.
Chapter 160
Because of Fujiwara Chika's sudden condition, the student council did not have any meaningful discussions today and was quickly dismissed.
Of course, before the group disbanded, Ye Ziye was forced to apologize by Fujiwara Chika. He was unwilling at first, but he couldn't resist the girl clinging to him.
After it was over, Ye Ziye decisively didn't stay in the student council. He had already wasted a lot of time today, but thankfully, he didn't have to go to work today.
This time it wasn't him who took leave, but rather Kudo Nami's reason. The woman had gone back to her hometown; apparently, one of her best friends had given birth, so she wanted to go back and visit.
Upon hearing that it was because of this, Ye Ziye immediately felt a moment of silence for Kudo Nami.
This woman is quite pitiful. Her friends are either married or have children, while she is still single and worries every day about whether her position as store manager is secure.
When they got home, Artoria was already in the living room, holding Garfield, looking a little melancholy.
Ye Ziye knew the reason for this. He had paid special attention at noon and found that Altria's grades were not ideal. She was ranked one hundredth in the grade, just above Fujiwara Chika.
This result isn't bad, but for Artoria, who possesses the dignity of a king, it's clearly insufficient.
"Ye Zi, you're back..."
Hearing the doorbell, Artoria snapped out of her reverie and greeted them first.
Ye Ziye nodded, returned to her bedroom, changed her clothes, put down her schoolbag, and went to the living room. Since she was back early today, she didn't need to rush to cook.
"Ye Zi, aren't you going to work?"
Looking at Ye Ziye sitting next to her, Artoria was a little confused, because this should be working hours, and she usually wouldn't rest here.
"I'm not going to work today. My boss went back to his hometown and probably won't be back for a few days."
"I see..."
Artoria's expression changed slightly; she seemed much happier because if Ye Ziye didn't have to go to work, she could have dinner on time tonight.
The two fell silent. Ye Ziye didn't speak, focusing intently on the King Arthur story playing on the television, even though this was the third time he had watched it.
"Ye Zi...I want to ask you for a favor..."
After an unknown amount of time, Artoria spoke first, but her tone was not as straightforward as before; instead, it was somewhat hesitant.
"what happened?"
Ye Ziye could roughly guess what Artoria wanted to say. This girl was ranked around eighty in the entrance exam, but now she had dropped twenty places, so her allowance had definitely been reduced.
Moreover, a ranking of 100 is still a bit too low for Artoria.
"I want you to teach me..."
After a pause, Artoria finally spoke, her eyes becoming much more determined.
She knew that Ye Ziye had come in first place in the exam, but she didn't want to praise him or anything, because she felt it was all just a matter of course.
Having lived together for so long, she knew Ye Ziye well enough and knew exactly what abilities this boy possessed, so she wasn't surprised.
Having Ye Ziye tutor her now is also to maintain the king's dignity. There are still two months until the final exams, and Artoria is confident that her grades will improve.
In that way, she would both uphold the king's dignity and increase her allowance, killing two birds with one stone.
"can."
Ye Ziye naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request; teaching was not a difficult thing.
His learning skills are very useful; he can integrate any knowledge he has seen, and teaching it to others is naturally not a difficult task.
"really?"
"I never lie. Let me see your report card."
If it were any other girl seeking his counseling, he certainly wouldn't agree, but Artoria is different; for the sake of a harmonious cohabitation, he can't refuse.
Moreover, teaching a serious girl like Artoria would probably be quite an interesting thing, although it would take up some of his rest time.
Hearing Ye Ziye's words, Artoria was taken aback, then realized what he meant, went back to her bedroom, and came out a moment later with her report card in hand.
"Here's a leaf."
Ye Ziye took the thin piece of paper, which contained Artoria's grade list, the reason why the girl was so heartbroken.
Artoria sat down next to Ye Ziye, waiting anxiously, and then hugged Garfield in her arms, as if that would give her some peace of mind.
Ye Ziye looked at the report card silently, but the more she looked at it, the stranger it seemed.
It's understandable that her grades in Chinese and history weren't good, since Artoria is a foreigner and Ye Ziye couldn't understand those two subjects when her learning level was low.
However, Ye Ziye was genuinely puzzled by the fact that he only scored 76 in English, as he remembered that English should be Altoria's native language.
Seemingly noticing Ye Ziye's expression, Artoria's face flushed slightly, and she began to explain.
"The things tested are different from practical knowledge. I don't understand why many of the questions were phrased that way, even though we would never speak like that..."
After hearing the explanation, Ye Ziye nodded silently. It was indeed not Altria's fault; it was the problem with the teacher who set the questions.
Its essence is just like reading comprehension questions in China, always asking why the author wrote it this way.
When Ye Ziye saw these questions in his previous life's exams, he always wanted to complain. How was he supposed to know why the author wrote them this way? He didn't even know the author.
Moreover, it's possible that the author didn't even know why they wrote it this way, and it might just be a way to pad the word count.
After letting his mind wander for a while, Ye Ziye shook off those strange thoughts and focused on looking at the report card in front of him.
He felt the problem wasn't too big. English was the easiest to improve, followed by Mandarin and history. He believed that as long as he worked hard to memorize the material, he could basically get high scores in those two subjects.
As for science, it's quite easy to teach. As long as Artoria doesn't have any questions, she can just ask him, since he knows everything anyway.
After summarizing, Ye Ziye felt that her part-time teaching job was still something to look forward to.
Chapter 161
June 7th, Sunday, sunny.
Ye Ziye got up early because she had to keep her appointment. Today was the day she was supposed to go shopping for clothes with Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama.
Actually, Yukino Yukinoshita's family had extra dresses, but Yoru Yoh was a bit too tall and his body shape didn't quite fit, so they went out to buy one.
It's worth mentioning that, in order to avoid waste, Yukino Yukinoshita did not choose to go to various brand-name clothing stores as she usually does, but instead chose a shopping mall near Yoko's house.
The mall does sell clothes, but they're not as expensive.
Ye Ziye originally didn't want to go out, as it would be tiring and cost money, but she had promised Yukino Yukinoshita that she would go, so she couldn't refuse.
After meditating in bed for a while, Ye Ziye got up and quickly dressed for the day.
The weather was getting hotter, and Ye Ziye was wearing black shorts today, but in case of a sudden change in the weather, he also wore a white sweatshirt.
The combination was odd, but it was comfortable to wear, and Ye Ziye didn't care whether it looked good or not.
He tidied his hair in front of the mirror and went to the kitchen. It was only seven in the morning, and there was still some time before the meeting time.
Even though the gathering was about to begin, he still had to keep his promise to cook, otherwise he didn't know what would happen if Artoria went hungry.
Thinking of his dream that night, Ye Ziye shook his head and began preparing breakfast. As for lunch, he probably didn't need to prepare anything, since he would be back before then.
Artoria isn't in the living room right now; she must have gone out to exercise, probably with Garfield.
Yesterday, Ye Ziye took Garfield to get checked out and found that the fat cat was already seven years old. It couldn't continue to be so lazy, so she handed over the task of training Garfield to Altria.
After learning about the various harms that obesity causes to cats, Artoria took the task seriously and has already begun to carry it out.
While thinking about all sorts of things, she made breakfast. Before long, breakfast was ready, and Artoria returned with Garfield.
