He's loyal to his friends, but he doesn't seem very bright.
After the intelligence update was completed, Su Qing slowly stood up. Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he looked down at Miura Yumiko with a calm expression and unreadable eyes, speaking in a measured tone.
"First, Yui went out happily."
Secondly, isn't it you who went too far to preach without understanding the whole process?
Third, apologize.
"you you"
Yumiko Miura was stunned by Su Qing's appearance and was speechless for a moment. Standing in front of the tall Su Qing, she did feel a strong sense of pressure, but that wasn't the most important thing. She had a wide network of connections, and there were many tall people over 1.8 meters in Soubu High School whom she knew, and she had seen them when they were angry, but...
But strangely, none of them had the same awe-inspiring feeling that Su Qing gave them. This person didn't seem angry at all; he just spoke to them in a very ordinary tone. What kind of person did Yui know?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the class was a bit tense, Hayama Hayato quickly stood up, smiled, and apologized to Su Qing.
"I'm sorry, Su Qingjun, Yumiko didn't mean any harm. She's just a bit biased towards her friend."
Then he turned and took Yumiko's hand, as if he could see her panic, and comforted her.
"Yumiko, you too, this was all a misunderstanding. Su Qingjun didn't bully Yuihama. Just apologize to him and it'll be fine."
Su Qing simply watched quietly from the sidelines. To him, it didn't matter how this farce unfolded, or whether anyone stepped in to ease the tension. Just as Hayama Hayato had said, it was nothing more than a misunderstanding, like children playing around, and it was insignificant.
With Hayama by her side, Miura Yumiko seemed to have gained courage, but perhaps because she had lost face and was somewhat unwilling, she spoke reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Su Qing, I misunderstood you."
"Okay, that's settled then."
Su Qing nodded indifferently. If it weren't for the fact that Miura was Yui's friend, and that her initial intentions weren't bad, and that she had already apologized, at most she was just a bit brainless, then the mature and steady Su Qing would naturally not hold a grudge against her.
Ultimately, they're just college students who haven't entered the workforce yet.
Wait a minute, aren't I a pure and innocent college student now?
Su Qing was caught up in a philosophical question, which was clearly of greater interest to her than to Miura.
Chapter 33: Boring but adorably silly Yui (2)
While Su Qing was deep in thought, Hayama Hayato also left with Miura Yumiko.
However, the atmosphere in the class became slightly awkward after this incident.
Sitting in the corner, Hachiman Hikigaya cast an admiring glance at the new transfer student.
Wow, what an amazing transfer student! He managed to say those things so calmly despite the class atmosphere. He's usually so amiable; who knew he had this side to him?
He wasn't initially interested in this new transfer student, because with his outstanding appearance and athletic ability, he was most likely a so-called "normie" (a person who is popular and outgoing). However, now he felt that even if he was a "normie," he seemed different from Hayama and his group.
However, Hachiman Hikigaya has too many things to consider; our ordinary high school girl thinks much simpler.
Please watch VCR
(。???。) Su Qing's domineering demeanor just now was so cool! Is this the kind of domineering CEO that's popular in mainland China?! Who understands this feeling? I really hope I can be that domineering towards me too, hehehe (drooling)
Yui Yuigahama, who had just removed her makeup, happily returned to the classroom, only to find that the classroom was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Huh? What happened? I was only gone for a short while, how did the classroom become like this? And why is everyone staring at me? (⊙o⊙)
Then, Yui awkwardly returned to her seat and nudged Su Qing, who was deep in thought.
"Xiaoqing, what just happened?"
"Yeah, someone was just complaining that you didn't give me my friend's allowance today."
Ah I?
And what's this "friendship fee"? I don't remember being so miserable that I had to pay a "friendship fee" to make friends.
Seeing that Yui seemed to be trying to renege on her debt, Su Qing stretched out her hand in dissatisfaction.
"Cookies, oh Cookies, you haven't handed in your cookies for today yet!"
"oh oh"
Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized, "So cookies = friend fee? I see. If it's with Su Qing, it's not impossible."
Then she playfully stuck out her tongue.
"I forgot when I went to the restroom, here you go."
As he spoke, he took out Su Qing's portion of cookies and handed it to her.
However, Yui always felt that she had forgotten something.
……
Class time finally arrived; this was a Japanese class. Hiratsuka Shizuka, still dressed in her signature androgynous attire, walked into the classroom, looked around to make sure the class was quiet, and then began to speak.
"There's something I need to mention before class. Yamamoto, who was originally scheduled to run the boys' 4x100 relay, injured his leg over the weekend, so we need another student to fill in for him. Anyone want to volunteer?"
No one in the class raised their hand. Everyone knows their own strengths and weaknesses, and if someone were to be replaced now, they might be criticized by the class if the performance wasn't ideal.
How could you run like that? You're not even as fast as me.
If Yamamoto hadn't been injured, he definitely would have won the championship!
This is Schrödinger's cat: everything is still unknown, and everything is possible.
"Nobody wants to participate? This is a problem, the relay race has a high point value."
"Teacher, I think Su Qing, who just transferred here, is quite good. He got first place in the class in the last long-distance running physical test."
For a moment, everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and Su Qing felt a little strange being called out.
The speaker was a boy named Kimura Itsuki. He was of average appearance, above average athletic, and his status in the class was probably above average. Most importantly, he was very likely to like Miura Yumiko. Every time Miura Yumiko talked to Hayama Hayato, Su Qing, who was sitting near the front, could smell the jealousy in his heart.
Is this normal behavior for teenage boys? Bored.
I'm not reborn to play house with you kids. That would be too beneath me. Wouldn't it be better to spend that time teasing Yui and eating Shiina's cooking?
"Su Qing?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't expected Su Qing to be so athletic. As the homeroom teacher, she was familiar with Class C, which had Hayato Hayama, a key player in the soccer team and a strong candidate to become the next soccer team captain.
It's important to know that Soubu High School's soccer team is one of the best in all of Tokyo's high schools.
She looked at Su Qing with a questioning gaze.
"No, I'm not interested."
As mentioned at the beginning, he only signed up for sports that interested him. Everyone has their own understanding of the sports meet. Some people want to show off and win the attention of the girls they like, or fight for the honor of their class. Others just want to take this opportunity to relax in the classroom or participate in more club activities. All of this is understandable. Everyone has their own understanding. These are all choices made by people's free will.
Provided that it does not harm the interests of others or the collective, an individual's choices should be respected.
Kimura Itsuki scoffed, clearly harboring ill intentions.
"Does the transfer student not feel interested in contributing to the class? Well, that makes sense, considering they're just a transfer student."
Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned. She couldn't tolerate such a disharmonious atmosphere in the class, especially now that Kimura was practically putting a big accusation on Su Qing. In Japan, a country that values atmosphere and independence, if she were really ostracized, her next few years of university might not be easy.
He was about to reprimand her, but Su Qing acted even faster.
Su Qing stood up and walked slowly to Kimura Itsuki's side. For some reason, his legs trembled slightly when he met Su Qing's eyes.
Deep, cold, and emotionless, as if it were devouring its prey.
"You?" Kimura's voice carried a hint of fear, unsure of what Su Qing intended to do upon approaching him.
Surely you wouldn't hit someone in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei?
"Does not participating in the relay race mean not contributing to the class?"
Hearing a voice that didn't clearly convey emotional fluctuations, Kimura suppressed his fear.
"Otherwise what? You clearly have such good athletic performance..."
"What about Hayama? As far as I know, Hayama didn't register for the 4x100 relay either."
"Oh, right, and Miura-kun too."
When Su Qing spoke of Miura, her tone was very serious, and she kept staring at Kimura, making Kimura feel a little uneasy.
"Miura-san is a member of the tennis club, and her athletic performance is quite good, right? She doesn't seem to have signed up for the girls' 4x100 relay either, so why haven't you mentioned them?"
"I……"
Su Qing didn't give him a chance to argue and continued.
"Or do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm from the mainland? Hmm? Or are you trying to undermine the unity of our Chinese nation?"
Holy crap, what a ruthless person! They directly shifted and escalated the conflict. Aren't their methods terrifyingly ruthless?
It seems I absolutely must not get involved with this transfer student, or I'll be played!
Hikigaya, sitting to the side, kept his head lowered, as if afraid of being implicated.
Kimura's face paled upon hearing this. Anyone who gets into Soubu High School has some brains, it's just a matter of whether they're actually using them. Clearly, his brain is working now.
He had forgotten that Su Qing was a transfer student from the mainland. Anyone who could come to this school must be either rich or noble.
Keep in mind that Japan only announced its return to China a few years ago. At this sensitive time, who would dare to risk such a taboo by discussing this sensitive topic? Do they really think the police are useless? The relevant departments could arrest you in a heartbeat and interrogate you about whether you're a dog raised by the US.
Not only will it require going through a lot of troublesome procedures, but even if your own family can get you out of trouble, how will they view you afterward? Do they really think you're some ridiculous sole heir from a novel? A family is like a tall building; if one brick doesn't work, they can just remove it and replace it. Big families have no shortage of people, and if all else fails, there are plenty of people outside who want to marry into the family.
Not to mention, the main structure of modern high-rise buildings cannot possibly use bricks.
"I didn't mean that... I'm sorry, Su Qingjun."
Kimura quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Su Qing at a ninety-degree angle, his gesture sincere and heartfelt.
"That's enough, Kimura. I'll contact your parents to come to the school. I don't want this to happen again in our class. Su Qing, you should come back too."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was furious. This Kimura has only been in his second semester and he's already causing me trouble. What will he be like in the future?
Helplessly, I rubbed my forehead, feeling like becoming a teacher had aged me ten years. o(╥﹏╥)o
Back in her seat, Yui Yuigahama next to her seemed to want to say something, but because of class, she couldn't speak.
……
As soon as class ended, Yui couldn't wait to come over.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, are you alright?"
"What can happen to me?"
Su Qing found it somewhat amusing; he didn't seem to have suffered any loss, so how did things get out of hand?
"Because, because Kimura bullied you!" (╬▔皿▔)凸 -
"He's bullying me? I'm the one who's bullying him!"
"I don't care! How dare he bully my friend! I'll... I'll..."
"what would you like?"
I'll protect you next time!
After saying that, Yui made a cheering gesture.
Su Qing glanced at Yui with an air of importance. Aside from her powerful assets, Yui was petite and she wondered if Su Qing would cry if she punched her. However, she had already paid the protection (crossed out) friend fee today, so she would just have to try it tomorrow.
Speaking of which, Su Qing thought he was quite scary just now. In Japan, an autonomous region that values group atmosphere, he must be an oddball. Yui was still the same as usual, no, she seemed even dumber than before.
"Then, if I get bullied in the future, can I ask Yui for protection?"
"Mmm, don't worry, leave it to me. I'll definitely protect Xiaoqing! ヾ(?°?°?)ノ?"
Yui put her hands on her hips, looking like she was taking care of me.
Su Qing looked at Yui, her eyes filled with tenderness.
This must be the first time someone has said something like this to me. I wonder what Yui ate growing up. Her face is so pink and tender. If I pinched it now, it would probably really ooze water.
However, let's find a secluded spot next time, and give my friend a little face in class.
Also, the silly Yui is really cute!
Chapter 34 Right of Choice
Hikigaya Hachiman had just resolved that morning not to get too close to Su Qing, but after school he found himself standing with him in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Is there anything worse than this?
