Anime Heart

"How can you say that too..."

Xiao Chun pouted, her whole demeanor once again showing a troubled and furrowed brow.

Seeing Tsubaki looking completely different from usual, Kousei quickly said, "If you feel troubled, Tsubaki, don't say anything yet. But if you have any difficulties and need our help, just ask, and we'll be there whenever you call."

Hearing Kousei's words, Tsubaki's eyes lit up, and she blinked at him, as if little stars were popping out of her eyes.

"Thank you, Kousei! Actually, I'm quite troubled right now. I don't know whether I should accept him. To be honest, I used to think that I would be very happy if I confessed to him or if he confessed to me."

Xiao Chun still chose to speak up. It's very lucky and something to be happy about to have friends who are willing to listen to your troubles.

"But when he confessed to me, I didn't feel excited, so I didn't reply to him immediately. Instead, I told him to wait for my answer."

"But now, two days have passed, and I still can't bring myself to come out. I don't know how to talk to him or how to reply to him."

When Xian Dong heard this, his heart stirred. He actually had similar thoughts to A Du. Although they hadn't discussed it before, he roughly knew what Du Liangtai wanted to do.

Therefore, he planned to persuade Kousei and Tsubaki to understand each other's feelings and then reject the so-called senior.

It's best if you, a high school student, don't interfere in the relationships between us middle school students!

But just as he was about to persuade her, Keiko suddenly said, "Everyone, hurry up and eat your lunch! Class is about to start, or we might be late!"

Helpless, Xian Dong, who had a thousand words to say, could only say to Xiao Chun, "There's always a way out. Don't worry too much. There's always a solution."

"Thank you, Xiandong!"

The group quickly ate their unfinished lunchboxes, then took the empty lunchboxes to wash, and parted ways at their respective classroom doors.

Entering the classroom and returning to his seat, Xian Dong pondered how to persuade Sawabe Tsubaki and how to counsel Arima Kousei.

This younger brother of mine is something else! First he worries about his older brother's mental health issues, and then after those issues are resolved, he worries about his older brother's love life.

Am I just destined to worry all my life?

A man lay idly on the table, tapping on his phone. He habitually sent an email to Kaori Miyazono, rambling on about various things, including his desire to matchmake Kousei and Tsubaki.

Now, when he stays in the classroom, very few people will bother him.

In the past, those girls all had ulterior motives, using the pretense of "asking for help" to approach Arima Kento.

Of course, they didn't have any bad intentions. They just wanted to get closer to Arima Kento and see if they could create a good memory in their final year of junior high.

Now that they know Ma Xiandong already has a girlfriend, the shy junior high school girls are less willing to approach him, even though they still long for a guy like him, but they can't help it because they're too shy.

The fact that Kaori Miyazono went to the capital for medical treatment was learned by their class president, Miwa, when she went to the teacher's office and overheard the teachers chatting. After that, the news spread like wildfire throughout their class.

Similarly, the news reached Arima Hitoshi's class.

They're too shy to act right now, but if they see Xian Dong still single for a long time, they might just have the nerve to pursue him.

However, they are almost certainly not going to succeed.

Because she had spoken with Kaori Miyazono before, Kaori didn't immediately start reading her novel after finishing her meal. Instead, she chatted with Xian Dong.

Xiao Xun also agreed with Xian Dong's suggestion. She had observed Xiao Chun closely before and found that she did indeed have different feelings for Gong Sheng.

However, considering their personalities, Kaori Miyazono advised Arima Kenjiro not to act rashly, lest he do something wrong with good intentions.

Arima Kento agreed, saying that he would feel guilty if his good intentions ruined their relationship.

As class was about to start, Yu Ma Xian Dong told his girlfriend, then turned off his phone, put it in his desk drawer, and prepared to listen attentively to the lesson.

Although he had a university-level education in his previous life, he had long forgotten most of his junior high school knowledge, so studying in the third year of junior high school was not as easy as he had imagined, and he needed to put in some effort.

For example, the first class this afternoon was physics. Fortunately, Ma Xiandong had the habit of taking a nap, so he took a short break at the last moment of the last class in the morning, otherwise he would have been exhausted during the class.

Turning to look at his older brother, Kousei, who had been listening attentively in class that morning, he was now nodding incessantly, as if he were about to succumb to sleepiness and bump his forehead on the table at any moment.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xian Dong reached out and nudged Gong Sheng from behind, waking him up and urging him to continue listening attentively to the lesson.

Arima Kousei turned around and smiled apologetically at his younger brother, then straightened his back and stared intently at the teacher and blackboard on the podium.

On the contrary, his friend Ryota Watari did not doze off or take a nap. Perhaps it was because he was exercising all day and saved up his sleepiness to release when he went to bed at night!

Arima Kenji never imagined that he would have the opportunity to meet famous figures such as Newton, Ohm, and Lorentz again.

Well, because of his past life background, he could clearly understand what the teacher was saying, but it was a bit more complicated for the other students to understand.

Physics is inherently the most difficult subject to understand, so I imagine Kousei Arima must have been quite confused and that's why he was falling asleep!

Fortunately, Arima Kousei didn't rely on this to get into high school. He had various talents in piano, which was enough for him to get into a high school with a strong music department.

Finally, amidst the anticipation of many students, the bell rang as scheduled, and the physics teacher said without any hesitation: "That's all for today. I hope you can practice the corresponding exercises. I will check one or two students' work in the next class, so please be prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Chapter Ninety: The Matchmaker Alliance

After class, Ma Xiandong casually closed his book. He had already understood the knowledge points the teacher had explained, so there was no need to continue reading the physics book.

But Arima Kousei was different. With a long face, he picked up his book, turned around, looked at his younger brother's relaxed expression, and solemnly said, "Xian Dong, please, you absolutely must tutor me in physics!! Please!!"

"Hey, Kousei, didn't you say you didn't need this to get into high school?" Arima Kento's 'pseudo-genius' abilities were already known in his circle.

That's why Kousei asked him for help.

Why is he called a 'pseudo-genius'? Actually, everyone categorizes him and Watari Ryota into the category of geniuses. The title of 'pseudo-genius' is one that Ma Xiandong himself knows about and has given himself.

He is able to navigate the sea of ​​knowledge with ease because of his foundation from his previous life. He might struggle a bit in high school, but right now he is completely at ease.

As long as one can successfully recall knowledge from a past life through a teacher's lectures, it is not unreasonable to call them a 'genius'.

People take the title "pseudo-genius" as Arima Kento's self-deprecating term, and often tease him with such words, such as "excessive humility is hypocrisy."

Unlike Arima Kento, Watari Ryota is a true academic genius, a conclusion Arima Kento has drawn after spending so much time with him.

In my past life, I also encountered a genius student, the kind who only listened in class or even didn't pay attention, and didn't allocate any of his other time to studying, but always got top marks in exams.

Ryota Watari wasn't that bad. He did listen attentively in class, but he spent the rest of his time playing mobile games or soccer, and he never studied during his free time.

But in last week's quiz, Ryota Watari came in second in the class, which is why he is called a true academic genius.

Of course, as the top student, Arima Kento's claim of being a fake academic genius was naturally met with disdain from his other friends.

"But even if I win many piano awards, my academic performance has to be decent, otherwise the high school I'm interested in won't accept me."

Arima Kousei said helplessly that he didn't really like studying either, and sometimes he wondered why that high school set such high academic requirements for the music department.

Isn't this making things difficult for people?

Although Arima Kento thought that the academic requirement was already quite low, it seemed to be quite difficult for Arima Kousei!

Because of a past emotional issue, Kousei Arima's beloved piano suffered a long period of decline until recently when he finally overcame it.

I never particularly enjoyed studying to begin with, and this inner conflict has certainly affected my academic performance. My grades, which were in the upper-middle range, have now slipped to the lower-middle range, or even the bottom.

He was only assigned to this class because of his family background; otherwise, he would have been assigned to a class in the back long ago.

“Okay! Kousei, I can set aside some time in the evening to tutor you, but it won’t be for long, at most an hour.”

Yu Ma Xian Dong felt somewhat helpless, as his writing time was once again compressed. Although it was already spread out, there was still plenty of time.

But now it seems that I can barely keep the number of drafts unchanged. I originally wanted to write more and then have a big update when it was released, but now it seems that I will be lucky if I can make up for the backlog caused by the donations when it is released.

Sigh, what can he do when it's his older brother, Arima Kousei, who's asking him for help? It's hard for him to refuse a request from a family member, especially one that's within his ability.

"Great! We're saved!" Kousei exclaimed, patting his chest in relief.

Speaking of which, the success of Ma Xiandong's online novels is getting better and better.

Two days after signing the contract, I got my first recommendation spot after only 50,000 words, then my collection skyrocketed, and then I kept receiving tips (the author is crying~~). Now that I've updated to around 70,000 words, a new patron has appeared.

As he planned, he would make a note of all the extra chapters, and if someone donated a "Lord of the Alliance," he would add three more chapters when the book was released. One extra chapter for a "Helper Master" and two extra chapters for a "Sect Leader."

Because the condition for extra chapters was announced when the chapters were released previously, a continuous stream of donations followed.

The leader of the alliance costs 1000 RMB, so it's not much, but the number of guild leaders and sect leaders keeps increasing, quickly surpassing the number of manuscripts that Yu Ma Xian Dong has saved.

It is estimated that he needs to release thirty chapters to make up for the outstanding updates.

Unable to hold on any longer, Ma Xiandong quickly canceled the extra chapter condition. The leader would no longer be able to add extra chapters, only the alliance leader would. However, the alliance leader would still add three chapters, and the previous debts would not be left unpaid. There would definitely be a burst of thirty chapters after the book was released.

You Ma Xiandong was able to say that because he only had thirty chapters in his drafts, just enough to make up for all the missed chapters.

The leader of the alliance wouldn't appear easily, so Ma Xiandong breathed a sigh of relief, at least he wouldn't have to break his promise.

Reassured by Arima Kenji's promise, Arima Kousei turned around, put down his book, and asked Arima Kenji and Watari Ryota, "Is anyone going to the restroom? If not, I'll go alone."

Arima Kenjiro and Watari Ryota both waved their hands in refusal. Arima Kenjiro simply didn't feel the urge to urinate, while Watari Ryota wanted to talk to Arima Kenjiro privately.

Seeing Arima Kousei leave, Watari Ryota then left his seat and sat down in the empty seat next to Arima Kento.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter, Watari?" Arima Kento asked, seeing Watari Ryota about to speak.

Ryota Watari usually doesn't go to other people's seats to talk, so his behavior today clearly means he has something to say!

"Hmm, Xiandong, I have something to ask you."

Then, Watari Ryota first asked Arima Kento about his opinion on Arima Kousei and Sawabe Tsubaki, and whether it was appropriate for them to be together.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Watari Ryota revealed his desire to matchmake Arima Kousei and Sawabe Tsubaki.

"Judging from Xiaochun's answer at noon today, she doesn't have as much longing for that senior as she once thought. When that person confessed to her, she wasn't even excited. Doesn't that just show that she and that person aren't suitable?"

Ryota Watari shared his analysis.

"So, there's absolutely no problem with bringing Tsubaki and Kousei together!" Arima Kenjiro chimed in.

The two looked at each other and slowly nodded. "The Matchmaker Alliance is officially established. Matchmaker Number One: Watari Ryota, Matchmaker Number Two: Arima Kento, are ready to serve at any time!"

Ryota Watari thought for a moment and said, "And there's also the soon-to-be-appointed Matchmaker No. 3, Keiko Aota! We can't forget her, or she'll become violent towards me."

"learn."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? Something about matchmaking or something." Arima Kousei's voice suddenly rang out at the classroom door.

The two were immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat, saying, "It's nothing, we were just talking about the Old Man Under the Moon, like how he's the most effective person."

Chapter Ninety-One Discussion

"Hey, isn't there only one Old Man of the Moon?"

Arima Kousei looked completely bewildered. He knew this, so why were his younger brother and friend saying things like "which matchmaker?"
