In practice, I can issue tasks to my master.

"We chatted for a while after you left... Although it was mostly my brother who did the talking, it was... sort of resolved."

Nangong Cheng frowned.

"If it's resolved, it's resolved. What does it mean to say it's resolved, even if it's only considered resolved?"

"Also, I've already said all that, are you two siblings going to be being stubborn and arguing again?"

"No way!"

Horikita Suzune exhaled and then pursed her lips, looking very unwilling but helpless.

"Anyway, my brother told me to learn from you, but when I tried to contact you, I found that you had deleted me from your friends list."

So what are your own thoughts?

Nangong Cheng leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed.

He knew Horikita Manabu's meaning from the beginning, so the question always came down to what Horikita Suzune herself thought.

"I still hope to gain my brother's approval, but..."

Horikita Suzune lowered her head, one hand hanging limply at her side, while the other hand gripped it tightly.

Her voice initially gave the impression that she was feeling lost.

“I understand that my brother doesn’t want me to become another version of him. Since that’s the case, then as you said, I should become [Horikita Suzune].

"To gain recognition as [Horikita Suzune], not as [Horikita Manabu's sister or shadow]."

But she quickly reverted to the confident and determined tone that Nangong Cheng had when they first met.

Nangong Cheng nodded.

Wouldn't it have been much easier to do this sooner?

"It's best if you think this way."

"But let me make this clear first: I won't teach you for nothing, so have your student council president pay your tuition before you come back to me."

Horikita Suzune sighed.

She took out her phone.

"Then you should add me back as a friend first, and then I'll add your brother as a friend to your contacts so you can talk to him yourself."

"Okay... but didn't you show the video I sent you to your brother?"

After adding each other back as friends, Nangong Cheng sent a friend request to Horikita Manabu while asking Horikita Suzune a question.

The latter nodded.

He looked at it, but said nothing.

"Now I'll test you—why do you think I sent you this video? And why did I delete you after sending it?"

"..."

Horikita Suzune seemed hesitant, but this time she didn't hold back her words.

"Tell me first, did you go to see Nan Yunya after you left yesterday?"

"You guessed right, continue."

Horikita Suzune's expression gradually became subtle.

"You're not planning to replicate what you did the day before yesterday—selling all the information and then making me release it on the same day, are you?"

"Correct answer~"

Nangong Cheng put away his phone.

I got two spots.

One of them is naturally to complete the deal with Ichinose Honami; I can send her a message later to ask her to report to the student council.

The other is to act according to circumstances.

He also mentioned that an employee of an electronics store was suspected of serious harassment, saying that this person might threaten the personal safety of female students on campus, and hoped that Horikita Manabu could deal with it before school ended today.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, he's going to take Sakura Airi to buy a digital camera today, and then live the wonderful life of a "happy" photographer.

Therefore, you can't show images of annoying characters.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law is quite adept at interpersonal relationships and immediately said he would contact the school to begin investigating and collecting evidence. Once the evidence is conclusive, the process can be completed before school ends.

Indeed, Horikita Manabu's only weakness might be his difficulty in expressing emotions.

Nangong Cheng looked at Horikita Suzune.

"You've already learned to apply what you've learned to other situations, so it seems this teaching task will be relatively easy to complete."

"However, how much you can learn from me depends on your own comprehension."

In fact, he had already come up with a teaching plan.

But there's only so much that can be done in the first month, and there aren't any good materials available for use as teaching cases.

"Okay... I'll give you a class assignment first—observe everyone in the class carefully before the end of this month."

"Write me a report on the last day of the month."

Horikita Suzune nodded.

Having a goal is much better for her; at least she knows clearly what she should do.

The two quickly arrived at the classroom.

Nangong Cheng met Karuizawa Hui's gaze.

He suddenly realized that he had been so focused on checking his points that he hadn't even looked at the photos the girl had sent.

Look how anxious he is.

"Good morning, Karuizawa-kun."

"Ah... Good morning, Nangong classmate."

Karuizawa Kei seemed somewhat distracted at this moment.

Because the photos she sent last night still haven't shown as read, she felt a little uneasy even though the task was considered completed.

She wondered if Nangong Cheng had formed a bad impression of her, which was why she was being ignored.

I didn't sleep well all night.

"I went to bed early last night, so I'm fine, but Karuizawa-kun, you don't look so good. Did you have insomnia?"

"Haha... I really envy you, Nangong. I've had insomnia since junior high school."

Karuizawa Kei breathed a sigh of relief.

So it turns out Nangong Cheng just goes to bed early. No wonder we couldn't see the photos she posted; it was almost midnight by then.

"Long-term insomnia can have a significant impact on physical and mental health, so Karuizawa-kun should be careful."

"Remember to get plenty of sunshine and exercise, find things you enjoy doing, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and try to keep your mood within a comfortable range..."

Nangong Cheng continued the conversation for a few more minutes.

Of course, this is a more compliant explanation with the Zhou Dynasty's rites.

If it were a netizen, they would definitely suggest that the guy take off whenever he has time, or that the girl mine some cryptocurrency whenever she has time.

"Does Nangong know a lot about this?"

A cute little thing suddenly appeared.

Kikyo Kushida seized the opportunity to join the conversation.

"Actually, I've felt some academic pressure since I started junior high school, and I've never known how to manage it."

"If possible..."

Before she could finish speaking, Horikita Suzune unleashed her power.

"If you feel pressured by studying, spend more time practicing problems instead of wasting time on meaningless social interactions."

She might be submissive in front of her brother and Nangong Cheng, but she always wields a heavy hand against others.

Especially this Kushida Kikyo.

For some reason, she always felt an inexplicable hostility whenever she saw him, as if the two of them were born to be at odds.

It seems I need to keep a close eye on this person.

"Don't forget there are regular written exams every month, and you could be expelled if you fail."

"Don't become someone who drags the class down."

After saying that, she walked back to her seat.

Kikyo Kushida cursed Horikita Suzune in her mind, but she still smiled on the outside.

"Haha... Nangong, so do you have any good ways to relieve stress?"

Nangong Cheng also didn't expect Horikita Suzune to suddenly turn against Kushida Kikyo. It seems that the two of them are becoming more and more like a pair of star-crossed lovers...

However, he was also happy to see this.

After all, he couldn't wait for the iconic scene of pressing his handprint, so the more pressure Horikita Suzune put on Kushida Kikyo, the better for him.

Perhaps it will happen tonight...

"Yes, there are, but they may not be suitable for you."

In addition, he also had a brilliant idea regarding the stress-relieving tips that Kikyo Kushida asked for.

[Task assignment: Adopt the decompression method suggested by Nangong Cheng and decompress once, attaching a decompression experience of no less than 1000 words.]

[Task Reward: 500 points]

[Punishment for failing the task: Memorize and record the entire text of "I Really Want to Be Mr. Nangong Cheng's Dog" and post it on the campus forum]

Finally, I'm begging you to keep reading!

Volume 1: Chapter 32, Horikita Suzune Also Wants to Release Stress

What does it mean?

Kikyo Kushida almost couldn't keep her composure.

She was about to ask what the method of stress relief was, but the sudden appearance of this task made her start to panic.

The content is just a bit of a riddle, but the inexplicably high points reward and the obviously malicious punishment make this task seem wrong no matter how you look at it.

They really think they're Japanese and are messing with her, huh?

"Nangong, just tell me. We'll only know if it's suitable after we try, right?"

Nangong Cheng nodded.

But Kushida-kun, why don't you look around again?

Karuizawa Megumi's character is supposed to be a gyaru (gal) girl; if she can tolerate you constantly interrupting her, then she might as well not have that character anymore.

"Kushida-kun, Nangong-kun was just chatting with me. Isn't it a bit impolite of you to suddenly interrupt and keep talking?"

"I'm so sorry, Karuizawa-san, I really didn't mean to..."

Kikyo Kushida gave an awkward laugh.

She had almost forgotten that there was still Karuizawa Megumi around... It's all because of Horikita Suzune's inherently evil influence on her!

"You guys talk first~ You guys talk first~"

Karuizawa Kei stomped her foot in annoyance, then gave Nangong Cheng a somewhat resentful look.

“Nangong classmate…”

"I'm sorry, Karuizawa-san, I didn't mean to ignore you."

Nangong Cheng said he wouldn't take the blame.

If he hadn't reminded her, Kikyo Kushida might have kept talking forever, so you should thank him.
