I practiced as a monk alone in Japan.

Chapter 220 I love Asagiri Rin!
Princesses naturally travel in extraordinary settings, even their chairs cannot be ordinary.

Of course, being used as a chair by this beautiful girl doesn't seem like a big deal. After all, it's on her lap, not like she's kneeling there.

Gen Tsukino fell silent; some situations should be left to the right person.

For example, this 'arena' right now.

Upon hearing Asagiri Rin's words, Saionji Karen's expression didn't change much; she remained as gentle and kind as ever.

She smiled and said, "That sounds a bit harsh. You know I'm not that kind of person. You're just being overly concerned."

"Really? Maybe."

Asagiri Rin did not continue to pester and question Tsukino Gen as he had expected. She turned her gaze to the boy beside her, now sitting on his firm, reliable thighs, warm through his pants.

"Can you play the piano?"

"I've only learned this one poem; I'm a self-taught learner."

Gen Tsukino blinked and answered very honestly.

Asagiri Rin slowly got up, got off Tsukino Gen, and sat down next to the boy, giving him a slightly disdainful look.

"Go past the point."

"Oh."

I moved my position slightly, giving the other party more than half of the space.

Then, this noble and elegant young woman placed her hands on the piano keys, looked up at Saionji who was still standing there, and smiled as she spoke.

"Don't you like filming piano playing scenes? Then let's film a four-hand piano duet."

"Really? I don't mind, but can Tsukino-kun cooperate well?"

Saionji looked at Gen Tsukino with great interest.

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what you want to play."

"To Alice".

Asagiri Rin slightly opened her eyes and said.

Goodness, they really hold grudges.

Wait, when exactly did she arrive? Did she hear everything?

I don't think I said anything weird, right? I don't think so. People who know me know that what I said just now was just normal behavior and had nothing to do with flirting.

It would be a waste not to speak like this, given that I have such a face.

She should be able to understand herself.

"I'm really not very good at this song."

Gen Tsukino wasn't going to play this piece because he noticed a subtle change in Saionji's expression when Rin Asagiri said that. Clearly, she knew the girl was provoking her.

To say that Asagiri Rin didn't consider Saionji a friend wouldn't be accurate. Otherwise, she wouldn't have actually attended Saionji's birthday party and accepted her arrangements.

But to say that the status of a friend is particularly precious to her is absolutely not true. She is a staunch believer in the truth that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

So even with good friends, if they reach the point where she can abandon them, she will cut ties.

"here we go."

But Asagiri Rin didn't believe the boy at all. "You can sing Bohemian Rhapsody, but you can't sing Für Elise?" As Asagiri Rin lowered his eyes and sang the first note.

Gen Tsukino's hand followed.

It's not that some magical music automatically draws everyone in.

But since the girl had made her stance clear, he naturally wouldn't disappoint her because of Saionji.

To be fair, it's astonishing that Asagiri Rin would go to such lengths for me. No other girl is as noble, as stubborn, and as sharp-tongued as her. Yet, she's also so soft-hearted and generous.

What she can tolerate is what most girls cannot.

In other words, when she clearly expressed certain attitudes, she actually couldn't accept being rejected by Tsukino Gen.

Saionji Karen was quietly holding up her camera and taking pictures, even adjusting it to the best angle and the right focus.

She watched as the sunset changed color, beginning to glow with an orange hue.

It landed on the young couple.

Wearing school uniforms, they seemed to be draped in a layer of youth that belonged to them. Clear and delicate notes flowed from their fingertips, and their intimate playing made them seem like a match made in heaven.

This is exactly the kind of scene that should appear.

She should look like someone everyone envies the moment she appears.

Even I am no exception.

With a smile on my face, listening to my favorite music, and watching a visually appealing group, I should be filled with gratitude and enjoy the beauty of the moment.

But why do I not feel that happy?

"It's beautiful. This part should be the best part of the video. I can't even think of anything that needs to be edited."

When the piano music ended, Karen Saionji smiled and said, seemingly taking a photographer's perspective entirely.

Gen Tsukino did not comment.

Rin Asagiri nodded and then stood up.

"So, that means there won't be any filming today?"

Saionji nodded. "There's nothing else to film today, and we've filmed all the footage we wanted. There might be some parts that require reading lines, which will take up some of your class time. I'll talk to the teacher about it; that should be fine, right?"

"Okay. You can decide what to do."

The conversation between the two seemed to have returned to being completely businesslike, with no trace of the near-conflict that had broken out earlier.

Is it because both of them are truly intelligent girls, or because they are both equally stupid? Tsukino Gen couldn't decide, and simply looked at Asagiri Rin with excessive politeness.

"Now that it's all over, shouldn't I treat you to a meal? After all, you've had a busy day."

Saionji smiled and shook her head. "If it's not a sincere invitation, then forget it. I don't want to be a third wheel."

Asagiri Rin nodded. "You really don't like being a third wheel, because you'd rather be the main character?"

"That's not what I meant, but no girl wants to be a supporting character. Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys keep chatting. Remember to lock the door when you leave."

Done.

Saionji turned and walked outside.

In the rather awkward piano classroom, the girl stood rooted to the spot, looking towards the door, until she felt the boy's hand reach out to her. "How dare you hold my hand?"

The young lady said somewhat displeased.

Tsukino Gen remained nonchalant, saying, "You just sat on my lap, what's wrong with holding hands?"

"I can touch you, but you need permission to touch me, of course."

Gen Tsukino nodded. "So, do I have permission now?"

Asagiri Rin scoffed, "If I hadn't come earlier, would we have all been planning to have sex in the piano room?"

"hiss."

Gen Tsukino gasped. "Seriously? She's a girl, for goodness' sake! What kind of language is this?"

Asagiri Rin raised her eyes defiantly, "That's just how I am, direct and simple. What? Is it too sharp to hurt your hidden desires?"

Gen Tsukino smiled. "If I had such an impulse, it would be with you. I've heard that some artists like to start creating without wearing any clothes on. Don't you think so?"

Rin Asagiri felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about the scene.

It's alright if it's just one person, but if it's two people together, it's simply an eyesore.

Body art is not always art.

"Stop disgusting me. I haven't had dinner yet, and what you've said has made me lose my appetite."

"Then I'll make you something appetizing."

Gen Tsukino answered with a smile, and the two walked out of the piano classroom together.

Of course, Gen Tsukino didn't forget to lock the door.

We walked out of the classroom together; the setting sun outside was already intense.

Asagiri Rin looked at the boy beside her, "Have you become addicted to cooking at my house?"

Gen Tsukino laughed and said, "After all, I've never used such a nice kitchen before. It has everything, and the ingredients are arranged quite reasonably. How should I put it, it's a pity you can't cook. It's a place that makes cooking a pleasure."

"You like the kitchen?"

"Actually, your aunt is a very kind elder, and it's very comfortable to be around her. Why?"

The boy's cheek was pinched, and he stared into Tsukino Gen's eyes.

"You're still trying to hit on my mother?"

"Don't say that. I was speaking from the perspective of a junior."

"Tsk. Do you know that countless so-called younger people have pursued my mother, even those who are only a year or two older than you? I'm warning you, don't get any other ideas."

Gen Tsukino blinked. "Although I like and appreciate beauty, I still have some bottom lines."

The girl scoffed at this, saying, "You probably can't even guarantee when your bottom line will be lowered, can you?"

"You still understand me."

"I heard you went to the basketball team today?"

Once in the car, Chao Wulin spoke softly.

Having no intention of parting ways, the boy naturally sat in the back seat.

How did you know that?

Are my whereabouts now public information, just like the announcements of big celebrities?

How do you know everything I do?
Asagiri Rin took out her phone and casually opened the school's forum.

Several posts immediately appeared and topped the hourly popularity chart.

[Tsukino-kun makes a surprise appearance at the basketball club!]

[It's said that Tsukino-kun beat up his seniors in the basketball club and secured a starting position at the sports festival!]

[Absolutely stunning! Tsukino-kun's breathtaking back view while playing basketball!]

What the hell is this?

Seeing this, Gen Tsukino felt a burning shame, as if his underwear had been stripped off and he was now wearing anime underwear and swaggering down the street.

"So you really enjoy surfing the internet. You should watch less of that stuff; it's embarrassing."

"You can feel shame? I thought your skin was thicker than the sun."

"Didn't you just pinch it? Wasn't it so delicate and tender?"

"Get lost, you're still disgusting people."

The boy smiled and said, "The basketball club has a rule that you have to pass an assessment to become a regular player. I couldn't help but take the assessment, and I barely passed."

"Thrilling? Being humble at this point is just showing off."

"There's nothing we can do about it. If you show off now, you won't have any surprises in the actual competition."

Upon hearing this, Asagiri Rin did not refute the boy, but instead gave a smile that held a strange meaning.

"why are you laughing?"

The boy looked a little creeped out; such a laugh couldn't be anything good.

Then I saw Asagiri Rin turn around, take out a bag from the side, and say something.

"Isn't your class on the white team this time? You have to wear the team uniform of your faction. If you want to surprise me, how about wearing this?"

She handed the bag to Tsukino Gen.

The boy suspiciously took the contents of the bag out.

It was a white tracksuit.

It's a very standard style, and it's also my size.

The back has your name on it, just like a team jersey, while the front...
"Are you crazy?!"

Gen Tsukino couldn't hold back any longer.

Because several words were clearly written in front of it.

I love Rin Asagiri!
