My deskmate is Nakano Satsuki.

"stare--"

May, suppressing her shame, opened her eyes wide and looked over.

Its azure eyes sparkled, exceptionally beautiful, like the pure blue sky.

Ye Feng: "..."

Hey, aren't you afraid of losing your first kiss by getting so close all of a sudden?

You should know that boys this age have their minds full of terrible things, and they might just kiss you in a moment of passion!

But it must be said, May's scent was quite unique, with a faint sweet milky fragrance, a fruity scent from shampoo and shower gel, and a subtle hint of meat buns...

It actually smells very nice.

Ye Feng interlaced his fingers, stared at the girl, and said calmly, "Don't stare at me like that. Just say what you want to say."

Warm breath fell on my face.

May's pretty face turned bright red. She hurriedly sat back down and then slumped onto the table, her head seemingly steaming with shame.

"No way! I can't do anything like being cute or affectionate... we're not lovers, boohoo..."

Ye Feng didn't listen carefully, but he did hear words like 'acting cute' and 'can't do it,' and a few black lines appeared on his forehead... ...So you were planning to act cute when you got so close just now!

Forget it!

If they don't want to, don't even think about you begging; even if all five of you sisters begged together, they absolutely wouldn't agree.

Ye Feng covered his forehead. That idiot next to him at the next table actually came up with such a terrible idea as acting cute...

A cricket born in May, a meat bun monster, a glutton!

That's amazing!

After a moment, May lay on the table, looked up, and although her cheeks were still flushed, she had clearly calmed down.

She can't act cute or anything like that, but May doesn't want to give up.

She knew that if it were Ye Feng, perhaps all five sisters could improve.

Moreover, it's completely different from the rumors.

Through their interactions, May discovered that although Ye Feng could be irritating at times, he was actually very patient and earnest. He never found her constant requests for advice troublesome, nor did he show any annoyance whatsoever...

Whew...

May took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and said, "Because it's a tutor we don't know, we're a little worried and afraid of running into bad people."

You think too much.

Surely no one really thinks girls are weak and helpless these days, right?

Even if that's the case, it's one thing for two sisters, but you're five sisters! If anyone dares to do something bad, the only result will be that you'll be beaten so badly that you can't take care of yourself!

As for the situation in some adult films where girls are bullied without resistance, that's simply impossible!

"I know it won't happen, because Dad chose the tutor, so I can rest assured..."

May's mood suddenly became a little down, and even the tuft of hair on her head drooped.

May said softly, "But in the end, we were all abandoned."

Being abandoned time and time again would make even a fool feel bad, and then choose to give up on treatment.

Therefore, I don't want a tutor.

It's not that I don't want to try, but if I know that trying won't work, then why bother trying at all?

They might even be abandoned again.

That feeling of being abandoned is not pleasant.

It's like you've been studying hard all along, but because you failed one test, your family completely rejected you...

I believe that anyone would feel wronged and sad enough to shed tears.

"So, we don't want a tutor anymore, but Dad won't do it."

Seeing May's gloomy and dejected expression, and even her ahoge (cowlick) looking limp, Ye Feng thought for a moment, then reached out and stroked her hair: "You've worked hard, May."

Because I'm stupid, I lack confidence.

Even if they appear strong, deep down they might feel wronged, helpless, and even lost and confused about the future.

So what this idiot at the next table needs most right now is encouragement.

May shrank back, blushing as she looked over, and said shyly and angrily, "Ye Fengjun, don't touch my head..."

Ye Feng said seriously, "I was studying May's ahoge (cowlick), I didn't touch her head."

Why can't I get it to go smoothly?

hateful!

Because May's ahoge (cowlick) wouldn't go down, Ye Feng became even more concerned!

Then I couldn't help but stroke his fur again.

"Excessive."

I was so ashamed and indignant in May. I let it go once because you went to so much trouble to tutor me, but you actually did it a second time... ...You're bullying me!

Seeing May glare at him through gritted teeth, Ye Feng had no choice but to withdraw his hand. Then he saw the ahoge (cowlick) on May's head stand up again...

May covered her head with her hands, her eyes filled with shame and indignation, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Don't touch me again!"

Ye Feng coughed lightly and said, "May's ahoge (cowlick) is very strange."

Seeing the regret and eagerness in his eyes, May silently bit her lip and couldn't help but glare at him: "It's not strange at all, it's just that your hair sticks up."

Ye Feng couldn't help but complain, "Even if the hair sticks up, it won't move around at all!"

"I didn't move around at all!"

May puffed out her cheeks: "Anyway, you're not allowed to touch my head anymore, or else, or else I'll hit you!"

"Not afraid."

Ye Feng said solemnly, "If it is for the sake of great scientific research, even if it means sacrificing oneself, it is a great honor."

"It's just hair, don't make it sound so grand!"

May couldn't help but mutter a complaint, then raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, took a light breath, and said, "Ye Fengjun, are you willing? If not, that's okay too..."

Chapter 45 I Agree

"Private tutor?"

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but did not agree immediately.

Even though the five sisters' situation does sound pitiful, and they might not even graduate...

His goal was to enjoy a rare period of peace, and becoming a tutor in the Nakano family was clearly not in line with that goal.

He had previously considered becoming a tutor for the Nakano family and then taking the opportunity to get to know the five Nakano sisters.

But a few days passed, and apart from the time Yotsuba brought out the Void Demon, none of the other girls had any problems.

He still can't figure out why this happened.

Now, only Ichika and Nino still have problems that haven't been resolved.

Firstly, there was no opportunity for contact, and secondly, it was the result of his laissez-faire observation.

So here's the question: becoming the Nakano family's tutor would allow me to get close to them naturally, making it easier to observe them, and at the same time, it would send a reassuring signal to my mother at home...

So, do you agree?

After careful consideration, Ye Feng realized that becoming the tutor of the Nakano family was more beneficial than harmful. Although it was a bit troublesome, it wasn't a big deal.

and... ...

Ye Feng looked up at May.

Although the girl appeared to be diligently packing her things, she kept glancing over from time to time, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation...

May is not a stranger.

Initially, I approached her because I ate May's meat buns and was drawn by her ominous, dark aura, and incidentally, I helped her with her studies...

After spending a few days together, May would often share some snacks with him and buy him drinks.

Her earnest and hardworking demeanor, and the incredibly happy and satisfied expression on her face after eating snacks, are already etched in my heart... Such an earnest and hardworking idiot is truly impossible to dislike.

So now we can definitely be considered friends.

There's also Yotsuba and Miku.

so... ...

There's nothing to hesitate about, right?

Ye Feng didn't think for long, only a few seconds.

He nodded and said, "A private tutor? I accept."

"Really?"

Surprised, May's voice grew louder. Qiong, who was sleeping soundly beside her, groggily raised her head and said, "So noisy..."

"I'm...I'm sorry."

May quickly covered her mouth, then stuck out her pink tongue, got up, picked up her schoolbag, and happily swayed her ahoge (cowlick) left and right.

"Ye Fengjun, let's start the tutoring tomorrow. I'll go back and tell them the news first, and I'll also explain to my father."

Ye Feng nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Goodbye, Ye Fengjun and Qiong."

After saying goodbye to Ye Feng and the dazed Qiong, May happily left.

Ye Feng packed up his things, looked at Qiong who was rubbing his eyes, and said speechlessly, "How did you sleep?"

"uncomfortable."

"If you're not feeling well, don't sleep in the library."

"No."

Qiong asked unhappily, "What did you just agree to?"

"Private tutor".

Ye Feng stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the tram station."

Qiong responded, pursed her lips, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and followed Ye Feng out of the library.

Seeing him looking up at the sky, Qiong also looked up and said, "It's strange that Feng is always looking at the sky alone."

Don't you think the azure sky is beautiful?

"do not think so."

Qiong tugged at Ye Feng's clothes and said, "I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat first."

Ye Feng squinted: "Would you like to come sit at my place again?"

Qiong hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, it will be misunderstood..."

As long as I graduate...

Is that alright?

Qiong pursed her lips and urged, "Hurry up, I want to eat red bean daifuku and takoyaki."

Since you know you'll be misunderstood, keep your distance from me!

After eating something, Ye Feng took Qiong to the tram station and then turned back.

As Ye Feng passed by a convenience store near the apartment, he saw Kirisu Mafuyu walk into the store. He paused for a moment, then walked over.

In the convenience store, Kirisu Mafuyu stood beside a row of shelves, looking at the various cup noodles in front of her with some hesitation.
