I play wind instruments in Kansai.

Her tone was somewhat complaining, but her little face was full of grievance, so Gong Lingwang couldn't help but say...

"That's because I think you can learn very quickly even without me."

Hitomi Shiraishi blinked her long eyelashes:

"If we're really bad at playing musical instruments, does that mean we can still be together?"

That's not what I meant either...

Well, that's definitely the idea.

Her words put Gong Lingwang in a dilemma. He couldn't just deliberately lower his abilities just because he wanted to be with her, could he?

How is this any different from those bad students who are actually doing well in their studies but just want to be privately tutored by beautiful female teachers?

Gongling Wang took a deep breath, sat down beside her, and said:

"Bai Shitong—"

"see."

Shiraishi Hitomi suddenly spoke, as if reminding him.

"But......."

Gong Lingwang swallowed hard, glancing casually at the security camera in the corner as he spoke.

"We should be able to be heard if we speak here, so let's—"

"I can't see, I can't hear."

A smile curved at the corners of Shiraishi Hitomi's lips, revealing a desire to be praised.

"what?"

"Did I do a good job?"

"..."

In other words, the cameras are currently not working.

Seeing her head tilt slightly forward, as if she wanted to be patted on the head, Gong Lingwang rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

For some reason, it made me feel a little breathless.

73. The Incompetent Father (6K)

The restlessness of not being able to find a way out was stirring within my body, and my right palm was gradually getting warm.

So why did she show this side of herself?

It's easy to talk about Liu Mujie and Deng; the two have been childhood sweethearts since they were little.

His relationship with Liu Mujie is like a platform account that hasn't been logged into for a long time. Members can regain the benefits by renewing their subscription. It's only natural that their relationship can be renewed and restarted.

If Kirishima Ruka also had feelings for him, then Miyamine Nozomi would have reluctantly accepted it.

After all, she herself boldly admitted that she had been watching her home life from the window of her room since she was a child.

But Shiraishi Hitomi was different; the two had never crossed paths since childhood and had only known each other for less than a month.

Could it be... just because he's good-looking? Ultimately, many people are attracted by appearance.

This puzzled Miyamune Nozomi, and even led her to a new guess.

That is, the emotions hidden in Shiraishi Hitomi's heart are too vast, so vast that she can easily overflow onto someone.

No reason is needed.

The object that can be used to receive affection can be a doll, or even a video game, dessert, scenery, or anything that can distract you.

Including the view from the palace.

Then, as if finally deciding what to face, Miyamine Nozomi said:

"Shiraishi-kun, may I call you that for now?"

"Hmm..."

His voice was particularly clear, but Shiraishi Hitomi slumped his shoulders and his expression immediately darkened.

It was obvious that she was not very pleased with Miyamune Nozomi's statement.

Gong Lingwang then remembered the 20x leverage and was so frightened that he quickly opened the trading screen.

When he saw that the stock price hadn't fluctuated, he was genuinely relieved. Perhaps Shiraishi Hitomi wasn't as fragile as he had imagined.

"I know you're feeling a bit down, but strangely enough, don't we feel a little odd being like this?"

"What?" Shiraishi Hitomi asked.

A faint smile appeared on Gongling Wang's lips. He raised his hand to rub his neck and said with a rather annoyed expression:

"I haven't helped you much. Or rather, I'd love to help, but I haven't even started doing anything. Yet our relationship has gradually become distorted, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing his words, Shiraishi Hitomi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her lips, exhaling as if panting.

The room had just opened, and it was noticeably warmer inside than outside.

"sorry."

Her sudden apology stunned Miyamori Nozomi.

"No need, you don't need to apologize."

"But......."

"I'm not criticizing you."

Gongling Wang took a deep breath, interlaced his fingers in front of him, and tried his best to make his voice as gentle as possible.

"Shiraishi-kun, what I'm about to say might be a bit harsh, but is there something else mixed in with your feelings for me?"

"......"

Miyamune Nozomi's answer was as calm as ever. He wanted to be an extremely powerful person and hoped that Shiraishi Hitomi could also become a powerful person.

After a moment of silence, as if to relieve her boredom, Shiraishi Hitomi took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her pleated skirt and tugged at it back and forth with her fingers.

Seeing her like this, Gong Lingwang asserted decisively:

"You're a smart girl. After all, you always think for yourself, reflect on your own, and come to your own conclusions. I really hope to have something unforgettable happen with a pretty girl, but I ultimately feel that's wrong."

"Hmm..."

"There are too many people in this world who don't think about others; they always prioritize their own happiness. But Shiraishi understands this, which shows that you are quite rational."

Shiraishi Hitomi gently bit her lower lip and finally spoke:

"I can't do anything right, and Ryuka said those things to me because she thought I wasn't good enough..."

Sure enough, she wasn't the kind of person who could be easily discarded.

Gong Lingwang blinked and asked softly:

"Did you two have a fight?"

Hitomi Shiraishi shook her head.

"Since things have already come to this, why not just argue with her?"

It's not that Miyamine Nozomi is bad at talking; in his eyes, many misunderstandings can be resolved by arguing.

Many things that can be argued face-to-face are not really problems; it's only when they escalate into long-distance arguments that they become fatal wounds between two people.

Shiraishi Hitomi paused for a moment, her obsidian-like eyes fixed on him, then slowly shook her head, her cherry-colored lips parting slightly:

"That's too childish. I'll... handle it with her."

"is it?"

Gong Lingwang laughed out loud, probably without even realizing that she herself was acting like a child.

"You should be glad you met me. If it were an average guy, he probably wouldn't be this outstanding."

He put on a very smug smile, and Shiraishi Hitomi raised her hand to smooth a strand of hair behind her ear, saying:

"Does what we said before still stand?"

"of course."

Miyamine Nozomi is still happy to be friends with Shiraishi Hitomi, but he doesn't deny that he might fall in love with her in the future.

But these are things that Miyamune Nozomi will have to think about in the future, and have nothing to do with him now.

If he says it doesn't count now, he can foresee the stock price will fall.

Shiraishi Hitomi nodded slightly and said slowly:

"Don't find me annoying."

"I don't even find Liu Mu annoying, let alone you."

Gongling Wang said with a smile,

"You know Liu Mu, I have a pretty strong tolerance for stress."

"Ah."

The two agreed on the somewhat "difficult" aspect of Liu Mu's personality.

"Thank you for teaching me; I'm terrible at playing the tuba and piccolo..."

"It's alright, Shiraishi. You must remember that you are a genius, a once-in-a-century genius."

"Really?"

"Really, I'm not lying."

"But you said the same thing to Kato-kun."

Looking into the girl's bright eyes, Gong Lingwang raised an eyebrow:

"Is there?"

"Yes, I heard it from Kato and others in class."

"Uh......"

Seeing that Miyamine looked somewhat troubled, Shiraishi Hitomi raised her hand.

The slender, white hand did not directly touch his cheek; it merely glided across his face with its fingertips.

"It's okay, I know Wang is trying to make me happy, I understand."

Gong Lingwang's throat moved slightly, and a tickling sensation came from her cheek—the restless feeling of her fingertips stroking the fine downy hairs on her face.

"You didn't have to shout that—"

"You don't have to call me Hitomi, Shiraishi is fine too."

Shiraishi Hitomi looked at him thoughtfully and spoke in a barely audible voice,

"I will keep it a secret and won't tell Liu Mu to put you in a difficult position."

Her soft-spoken words made Gong Lingwang's heart skip a beat; her voice sounded like she was trying to hide something.

"Didn't I just say that...?"

"I don't care, but will you look down on me? Will you abandon me like Liu Ge did?"

The girl's words left Gong Lingwang speechless for a moment.

He had never been this nervous when he was with other girls, or even when he was with Daidouji Seiko.

“I will not look down on you. You are unique to me, and you are unique to everyone. I have high hopes for you,” Gong Lingwang said softly.

Just like Liu Mu, Kirishima, and others, they are all unique to each person, he explained to himself.
