Their restricted abilities are refreshed every week.

It was like this when I was looking for stones, and it is also like this now when I am explaining to Shirakawa Haru the origin of the pattern on the band-aid.

She seemed to be completely unaware that this small astronomy club activity room was like a steamer in this weather. Even Shirakawa Haru felt a little stuffy in the chest due to the heat.

Of course, this was also due to Shirakawa Haru's constant response - he had dug out all the memories he had seen when he was three or four years old in his previous life.

In other words, he used "sweet words" to fool Gao Songdeng.

As she was talking, she suddenly reacted when Gao Songdeng turned his head again and saw her own eyes through the empty little iron box.

"Um... Shirakawa-kun, I'm sorry!"

Even with Gao Songdeng's slow thinking, she realized that she seemed to have been entertaining herself for too long - her original intention of coming here was just to get a Band-Aid.

Shirakawa-kun must be very hot after staying here with me for so long, and his wound must be painful.

I shouldn't have rambled on for so long.

It's my fault again...

Gao Songdeng lowered his head.

Seeing that the lights-out mode was about to start, Baichuan Qing asked in confusion: "Why does the light say sorry?"

"Ugh?"

why?

Isn't it right for me to say sorry?

Takamatsu Deng's thoughts were about to fall into chaos, but at this moment, Shirakawa Haru's voice came: "Instead, it's thanks to you explaining this knowledge to me that I have forgotten the pain of my wound."

——This is true, because after listening to the explanation for more than ten minutes, Shirakawa Haru was surprised to find that he had learned 10 more units of knowledge.

Learn another episode.

"Huh? Shirakawa-kun, are you lying to me?"

Takamatsu Deng was stunned to think about it, but before she could open her mouth to speak, Shirakawa Haru quickly took three penguin band-aids and said excitedly, "If I'm guessing correctly, these are from the same series."

"Deng, you're also a complete encyclopedia player, the kind who likes to collect all the types!"

In one sentence, Gao Songdeng's mood turned from gloomy to cheerful again.

Full illustrations...

That's true.

Whether it's band-aids or notebooks, Takamatsu Deng is determined to collect all kinds - she thinks she probably simply likes the sense of collecting and the sense of accomplishment of getting them all.

"Ok!"

Gao Songdeng nodded seriously, and then said: "Let me help you put the band-aid on Shirakawa-kun first!"

After thinking about it, Shirakawa Haru did not refuse, but sat on the chair. He saw Takamatsu Deng squatting down, meticulously tearing off the protective film of the penguin band-aid, and then carefully sticking it on the wound.

Looking down from this angle... the lamp really does look like a big gray penguin.

Well, a lonely big penguin.

After hesitating for a moment, Shirakawa Haru spoke again: "This penguin series of band-aids looks really cute. Could you please help me collect some next time?"

Gao Songdeng, who was carefully smoothing the edge of the Band-Aid with her fingertips, was startled and blinked. It was the first time she had heard such a request in her life.

Shirakawa-kun is asking for his own help.

So, the girl answered without hesitation and in surprise: "Then I will give it to you, Shirakawa-kun, when we meet at RING tomorrow afternoon!"

Plan passes.

Shirakawa Haru smiles - this is a very simple social skill, which is even more effective for people with Asperger's syndrome like Takamatsu Deng.

Asking others to help you with small things that are easy to do can bring you closer to each other. This can make the other person feel needed, which is also the highest level of emotion in Maslow's need theory.

I guess Gao Songdeng had rarely, or almost never, been asked such a request before - he was always in a low voice and didn't say anything, so who would dare to ask him to do anything?

What should I do if the temperature explodes due to poor control?

When Shirakawa Haru saw that Deng had so many band-aids and confirmed that he had a collecting habit, he naturally made this small request, which was very difficult for others but extremely simple for Takamatsu Deng.

"I feel the wound is much better now. Thank you, Deng."

……

After saying goodbye to Takamatsu Deng, Shirakawa Haru received another call from the moral education director.

As soon as the call was connected, the other party spoke in a hurry:

"Ms. Fengchuan hasn't come to school today! I can't get through to her family on the phone! Shirakawa, do you know what's going on?"

Shirakawa Haru, who had just escaped from the gravity field, had his eyebrows twitched - do you think I'm Suho Yuki who can put scouts everywhere, and you only know a bubble teapot!

You treat me like a brick, right? You can put me wherever I’m needed!

However, he replied calmly, "Vice President Fengchuan is usually a very steady person, and I'm sure you, Director, can also notice this. This is also the first time she's missed class without asking for leave... I think she must have her own reasons, which she's not comfortable sharing."

"Perhaps it's some sudden emergency. People in this world are always faced with unexpected events. I don't think there's any need to rush. I can let Fengchuan handle it on his own. What do you think, Director?"

After Shirakawa Haru's persuasion, the director on the other end of the phone was no longer as impatient as he was at the beginning.

He was silent for a while, as if he had made a decision, and then he said slowly:

"Shirakawa, you don't know what happened to Fengchuan's family, right?"

"misfortune?"

What kind of changes could happen in the family of a daughter of the Chinese family who is an old-fashioned rentier bourgeoisie?

You know, the Toyokawa family is a behemoth...

Baichuan Qing thought about it, and then his thoughts stopped.

Isn’t the Suo family also a huge behemoth?

It was the same ten years ago - but my life back then was definitely not good.

Because of his precocity and outstanding talent, the young Shirakawa Haru was taken back to the main family at the age of three and was destined to be trained as the next head of the Suo family.

Then, those elderly politicians and educators found that no matter how much homework they threw at Shirakawa Haru, he could handle it effortlessly.

There is no limit to human greed.

Therefore, the family elders were not satisfied with just letting him become the "Head of the Suo Family", but placed their greedy vision of making him a "minister" or even an "unprecedented prime minister" on him.

It would be fine if Shirakawa Haru was just a precocious child.

But when he was six years old, after he brought the cured Yuki home, the elders of the family could not wait and even angrily held a family meeting for him.

……

"Shouho Haru! We are training you to be the next Prime Minister! Do you really know what you are doing?!"

Staring at the dark entries emitting an ominous black light in the darkness, the boy asked in confusion, "So, what about Yuki? You all have the ability to call a famous doctor to cure her illness, but you let the disease develop and turned a blind eye?"

"——A mere second daughter, even if she has some talent, how can she be compared with you!"

"—If you get hurt while running away from home this time, I'll definitely hold her responsible!"

The elders were furious.

"So, what about you? Just let them humiliate Yuki like this?"

The boy asked the silent man in the darkness - that was Yuki's father, and also his nominal father.

Because the identity of a bastard's son is not enough to support the family.

But the boy named "Qing" represents something that far exceeds the so-called difference between legitimate sons and illegitimate sons - that is the possibility of making the Zhoufang family great again.

The man did not yell or refute, he just sat in the chair that represented one of the master's powers without saying a word.

So, Baichuan Qing couldn't help but sigh and lowered his eyes in disappointment:

"I shouldn't have expected anything from you guys from the beginning... You're birds of a feather, really."

He was too lazy to say anything more, and there was nothing much to say to these old guys who had been twisted by power and desire.

The boy stood up and kicked the seat under him over.

"As Prime Minister, I really can't afford to train you."

He said calmly:

"I, voluntarily leave the Zhou Fang family as a bastard."

"So everyone."

In the deadly silent hall, the boy looked around at the old faces that were frozen in shock and then filled with anger, and couldn't help but say happily:

"——From now on, please call me Shirakawa Haru."

Chapter 24: Xiaoxiang yesterday is very different from Xiaoxiang today

Since he said he would voluntarily leave the Zhoufang family, Shirakawa Haru would never have anything to do with this complex and profit-oriented behemoth again.

Except for Yuki Suo and his former personal maid Ayano Kimijima.

Because he knew clearly that the relationship between these two children had absolutely nothing to do with anyone other than himself.

But even so, Shirakawa Haru left the Suo family alone that day without informing them.

If you want to be a holy cutter, you have to do it thoroughly.

——Those family elders may still have the mentality that "the child is just playing around", waiting for him to run into obstacles outside and then return in disgrace.

By then, they will be able to impose more stringent conditions and restrictions on Shirakawa Haru.

Unfortunately, their expectations were dashed.

——Needless to say, there were difficulties along the way. Just thinking about letting a six-year-old child who didn't even have a cell phone and was only wearing casual clothes earn money for food, find a place to stay, and earn money for the train fare to the countryside in Tokyo would be difficult for most people.

However, Shirakawa Haru overcame all these small difficulties one by one, and finally, he took the train alone to the small town where his grandfather lived.

Kasamatsu.

……

Take back your thoughts.

There is no doubt that Teacher Daxiang is a guy with self-esteem higher than the sky.

In contrast, she possesses the ability and cognition that match her self-esteem - her arrogance is not groundless, but is supported by a definite basis.

Don't be fooled by Xiangzi's usual friendliness, often smiling at passersby. When he gets angry, at most he just makes a sour face and says a few harsh words...

But Baichuan Qing knew that beneath this arrogance that was not revealed to the outside world, there was a proud spirit of "never admitting defeat".

She regards anything that wants to make Shoko Toyokawa bow her head and submit, anyone who surpasses her, and anyone who wants to distort her thoughts as an enemy.

It was as if the whole world was against her.

It's just that the degree varies.

The "person who surpassed her" of course also includes Shirakawa Haru.

But even so, Xiangzi probably wouldn't say much.

Because of Shoko Toyokawa, I will never admit defeat.

Shirakawa Haru found it no surprise that a woman like Toyokawa Shoko would make the same decision as he did at that time.

Beside my ear, the Dean's voice, filled with mixed emotions, came:

"This kind of thing is really inconvenient for me to say."

Did Xiangzi himself warn him not to tell anyone?

This is consistent with that guy's character.

"Shirakawa, no matter what, I think it's best for you to go and visit her in person—there's no one in the school who has a closer relationship with her than you."

Now that things have come to this, how can I not agree?

What's more, Shirakawa Haru himself was also very curious about the so-called "accident".

Because he couldn't help but think - if Xiangzi had concealed this matter from him, how long would this concealment last?

A month? The whole summer? Or... did it start before school started?
