Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

He quickly flipped through many pages. Although much of the content was still obscure and difficult to understand, with the textbook and his notes, mastering and understanding it was no problem at all.

"With this study notebook, my learning efficiency can be improved by at least 5%, and with private tutoring, it may be even faster."

Shiratori Osamu grew increasingly delighted with the sight, and began to hum softly in his heart with immense pleasure.

The flow state can feel comfortable, since pleasure and comfort cause the brain to release more endorphins, making people more focused on one thing and eliminating useless emotions that affect focus.

At the same time, Minami Yamabuki carried a chair back to her room, not having time to close the door.

Arriving at the desk, she put down the chair and was about to speak, but when she looked at Shiratori Osamu's profile, her voice caught in her throat.

Because Shiratori-san was holding her study notes and comparing them with the textbook, looking at them with shining eyes, as if she had found a treasure.

Seeing Shiratori Osamu's serious and focused profile, Yamabuki Minami didn't want to disturb him, so she controlled her movements and quietly sat down.

With her hands resting on her knees, Minami Yamabuki didn't speak, but simply turned her head to watch him study.

Sometimes I would glance at his profile, sometimes I would look at his notebook, wondering what he was studying.

"Speaking of which, Shiratori-san brought a change of clothes today... He'll definitely take a shower today. Will he go to bed? Or will he sleep on the sofa like last time?"

Seeing his handsome appearance as he studied diligently, Minami Yamabuki's mind wandered, and she couldn't concentrate on her studies at all.

After a while, Yamabuki Tomoya quietly came to the door and peeked in. He found his beloved daughter staring blankly at the blond-haired man studying at his desk, as if she were infatuated.

"What is that damn blond guy doing?"

Sitting in the living room, he noticed his daughter running to the kitchen, carrying a chair into the room, and not even closing the door. He had been holding back his curiosity for a long time, but he couldn't resist running over. What he saw, however, made him dizzy with shock.

The blond guy is studying seriously? Are you kidding me?!

Rather than believe that Shiratori Osamu was studying diligently, he would rather believe that aliens exist in this world!

This scumbag did this on purpose, coming all the way to his house to learn, wanting to pretend to be a good kid in front of Xiao Nan and his wife.

What drove him crazy was that he didn't even need to think; he foresaw the benefits of Shiratori Osamu's actions in an instant.

The daughter will think her boyfriend is great, very ambitious, and loves her very much.

The wife will think that her daughter's boyfriend is a good boy, even though he used to be bad, but he has reformed.

This approach is so insidious; it's an open and unsolvable scheme. For a moment, he couldn't think of any way to counter it.

"Damn it!!"

Thinking of his beloved daughter being deceived by that blond-haired man, and how he, as her father, was powerless to help, Yamabuki Satoshi was so angry that he trembled all over.

Chapter 45 Overwork

"His smugness won't last long!"

Yamabuki Tomoya pondered for a long time, but still did not rush forward to disturb them. He turned and left with resentment in his heart.

Before leaving, he gently closed the door.

This was a temporary measure. He didn't want his daughter to be alone in the room with the blond-haired boy, but he also didn't want his wife to see the boy's fake efforts. He had to choose between the two.

He could forcibly interrupt Shiratori Osamu's 'reading and studying' in a fit of anger, but he couldn't do that.

Because he forcibly entered the arena and initiated the duel, Shiratori Shu had an excuse not to study, which essentially benefited the blond-haired boy.

Moreover, this is a battle that cannot be won, because his daughter will protect the blond-haired boy.

If he wants to resolve this matter, his most urgent task is to persuade his wife to fully realize that their daughter's boyfriend is not a good person.

After he left, the two people in the room remained as they were.

The room was quiet, with only the occasional sound of pages turning.

Shiratori Osamu was carefully reviewing his study notes, comparing them with the course content he had mastered, expanding on the extensions of knowledge points, and deepening his understanding of the application of formulas.

Because he didn't ask any questions, Yamabuki Minami didn't speak either, she just watched him learn.

"Ha~"

After an unknown amount of time, Minami Yamabuki yawned.

"21:36? Has it been that long?"

Realizing this, Minami Yamabuki turned to look at the digital clock on the wall and was startled.

Before we knew it, the learning session had lasted for more than an hour.

What surprised her most was that she hadn't done anything; she had just stood there watching for over an hour.

"Is it that late?"

As she looked on in surprise, Shiratori Osamu, who was completely absorbed in his notes, snapped out of his reverie.

"Yes."

Seeing that he had finally spoken, Yamabuki Minami nodded.

"It's time to sleep, Xiao Nan. Go take a shower first."

Shiratori glanced at the digital clock, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

Because of his "fighting spirit" and his ability to "make a comeback from a desperate situation," he can ignore fatigue and pain. In fact, he is not tired at all right now.

That being said, after focusing intently and eliminating most useless emotions, and with rational thinking at his fingertips, he felt he should go to sleep.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I had to go to school early this morning. I had classes all day, and after school I was running around everywhere and took the subway for a long time.

Even if an eighteen-year-old's body is very resilient, it is still ultimately made of flesh and blood.

Anyway, going to bed early means waking up early, and we can deal with studying tomorrow.

"it is good."

The moment had finally arrived. Yamabuki Minami responded, stood up, and walked towards the wardrobe.

As she went about her business, Shiratori Osamu put down his study notes and "Mathematics I," releasing himself from the dual states of "Full Concentration" and "Desperate Counterattack."

The next moment, an unbearable headache, a burning sensation in the head, nerve throbbing, dizziness, and a wave of fatigue surged forth, filling the entire body.

"what--"

Shiratori Osamu instinctively stretched and leaned back in his chair, letting out a long yawn.

At the same time, he always felt his body was very heavy, his eyelids were falling uncontrollably, and endless darkness was sweeping in from all directions.

Upon realizing this, Shiratori Shu activated his [Desperate Counterattack] state again before he could even finish stretching.

In just a moment, the fatigue and pain that filled my whole body vanished without a trace.

What just happened?

Shiratori Osamu, who had just shaken off his drowsiness and forced himself to stay awake, was shocked.

That feeling was terrifying; it was as if I was being overwhelmed by drowsiness, and all my consciousness was being swallowed by darkness.

If he hadn't activated his "Desperate Counterattack" mode, he probably would have gone straight to sleep.

"Is it due to overwork?"

Without fully concentrating, Shiratori Osamu's thought process was a few beats slower, but he still realized the situation.

In terms of mental and physical exertion, "Mathematics I" does require more effort than subjects like Chinese, foreign languages, and science. It's normal for him to feel tired after studying all day.

But it's a bit unbelievable that he was that tired.

This was the first time he had ever been this tired. Even when he was preparing for the college entrance exam in his previous life, he had never been this tired, even when he was working so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep for long periods of time. After all, high school seniors know that studying is important, but they also pay attention to their physical health.

Realizing that his fatigue was extreme, Shiratori Osamu thought back to his earlier state of mind while studying.

He benefited greatly from Yamabuki Minami's notes, which deepened his understanding, expanded his knowledge, and brought him great joy.

"When exactly did I start my desperate counterattack?"

Realizing this situation, Shiratori Osamu couldn't help but begin to reflect.

When his lunch break arrived, he rested on the table for a while and definitely didn't activate his ultimate counterattack at that time.

But after finishing his lunch, because the lunch break was too long, he started studying again.

A full meal can make you feel tired, and he seemed to launch a desperate counterattack in the latter half of his lunch break.

After school, he didn't turn off his phone because he had an appointment with the class monitor and needed to think about it.

As a result, he continued reading despite being exhausted, unintentionally triggering an extra effect of a comeback. Depending on the difficulty of the predicament, he unleashed even more potential... His learning efficiency improved further, but his physical and mental strength were also further depleted.

"Drove for nine hours straight?"

Looking back on his performance at different times, Shiratori Osamu finally came to a conclusion and was shocked by the length of the time.

"I need to go to sleep right away, and I really need to get a good rest tonight..."

Thinking that his body was already exhausted and his brain was overloaded, only supported and driven by his mentality and will to fight back against all odds, Shiratori looked at the large bed next to him.

It must be said that the living conditions in Yamabuki Minami are truly excellent.

The bed was very large, more than two meters long and wide, and it didn't need to be placed against the wall.

This bed is so big that it can comfortably sleep two people, and even three people could sleep together without feeling crowded.

[Three high-quality deep sleep sessions (Usage requirements: soft pillow + lying in a quiet and comfortable location + ambient temperature not exceeding 28 degrees Celsius)]

Sharing a bed and pillows

"Will you sleep in the same bed as the class monitor?"

Thinking about the rewards he received from today's choices, Shiratori Osamu's heart raced, and he couldn't help but look at the beautiful figure searching for clothes in front of the wardrobe.

"I promised her the day before yesterday that I wouldn't touch her if we stayed overnight, but I didn't say that today."

Minami Yamabuki, still wearing her school uniform, has a slender figure, fair skin, and a pair of beautiful legs under her pleated skirt that are even more captivating.

Just as his thoughts were about to take flight, Shiratori suddenly shook his head.

"What am I thinking? Option ①'s reward only mentions sharing a bed, but it doesn't mention any special CG of the class monitor."

By forcefully shaking his mind out of his wicked thoughts through physical actions, Shiratori Osamu refocused his gaze on the math book in front of him, feeling speechless at his own indulging in fantasies.

At eighteen, the body is too restless, full of energy, easily excited, and unable to control itself.

And the mentality of "fighting back from the brink" is really abnormal. If he wasn't in a state of exhaustion and ignoring everything, he wouldn't have been able to think about things like that when he was completely worn out.

"Try playing on your phone to distract yourself."

Having already exhausted himself with the day, Shiratori Osamu took his phone out of his pocket.

He opened the notification bar and scanned it from top to bottom; one message caught his attention.

Mizuki Shinonome (as the teacher): "Meet me at the Shibuya Hachiko statue at 14:05 PM tomorrow, and I'll help you catch up on your lessons."

"Oh right... Mr. Shinonome was going to give me private tutoring too."

Upon seeing this, Shiratori Shu was momentarily stunned before he came to his senses.

Chapter 46 Goodnight

"Xiujun, I've finished showering, you should go and shower too."

The bathroom door opened, and Minami Yamabuki walked out.

Hearing her call, Shiratori Osamu, who was sitting at his desk, turned around and looked back.

Perhaps due to habit, the class monitor changed into pajamas again after taking a shower, but unlike the autumn/winter style from the day before yesterday, this time it was a spring/summer short-sleeved style.

The light pink pajamas are made of a thin and comfortable fabric, which looks very high-end and delicate. The polka dot design makes her look even more pink and cute.

However, her slender arms were unnaturally tense, and her jade-like feet, clad in white slippers, had toes clenched so tightly they were slightly red, showing that she was very nervous.

"it is good."

Not wanting to be too impolite, Shiratori glanced at the bag twice before looking away, then bent down to pick up the schoolbag from the floor and placed it on the table.

The backpack contained books, and a plastic bag with neatly folded clothes and toiletries inside.

After gathering all his belongings, wanting to go to sleep quickly, he went straight into the bathroom.

"call……"

Once he entered the bathroom, Yamabuki Minami, whose body had been tense, finally let out a long sigh of relief and gently patted his chest.
