My Romance Simulation with Them

He never received the same treatment as he did in Nanxiang.

How come Nango Toki has such a high status among his classmates at Ocha High School?

She couldn't quite understand it.

"Being first in the grade is certainly not enough to warrant this, but... you should have heard of him, Mr. Hiratsuka."

"I've heard of his name?"

This made Hiratsuka Shizuka even more surprised.

She had never had any contact with Nanxiang, so how come she had heard of his name?

wrong!

Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly thought of something, and a look of surprise appeared on her stern face.

"Is it Nanxiang Shi, who came in first place in the last national deviation value test mock exam?"

"good."

Kento Ishikawa nodded.

Hiratsuka Shizuka fell silent.

He was first in his grade at a school and first in the national mock test.

The difference between the two is simply enormous.

It's no wonder that many second-year students at Ocha High School want to surpass Nango Toki.

That was the highest score in the national mock test!

In the truest sense, above all others.

If we can surpass him, it means we've surpassed 99.999% of the people in the country.

In a sense, surpassing Nango was probably a somewhat glorious achievement for all the second-year students of Ocha High School.

"Of course, this is also closely related to Nango's usual attitude towards students of the same grade."

Nearby, Ms. Omiya, who is in charge of English, couldn't help but chuckle when the topic came up: "Nango has an indifferent attitude towards almost all students in the same grade."

When it comes to Ocha High School's Nango, people either love it or hate it.

He always goes his own way and can be described as having a free and easy personality.

Even in the same class, they rarely take the initiative to communicate with others.

His indifference towards his classmates has led to him being extremely hated by some students.

As a result, many people were holding their breath and wanted to knock him off his position as the top student in the grade.

"I see..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been somewhat surprised, calmed down a bit after hearing Omiya Nai's explanation.

She's good at studying, knows how to communicate with others, and has a lot of friends... There really isn't such a perfect person in the world.

Nango Toki was probably similar to Yukino Yukinoshita from my school, right?

Standing too high prevents one from communicating and interacting with others.

Lack of communication skills.

This is undoubtedly a fatal flaw for a person.

but--

“Hiratsuka-sensei, I think you’ve misunderstood something.”

"Ok?"

“Nanxiang doesn’t want to communicate with students of the same grade, not that he is unable to communicate with others.”

When Kento Ishikawa talked about this topic, he couldn't help but marvel:

"Well... his social skills are definitely not weak, but he doesn't want to spend time on interpersonal relationships, so he seems out of place with the other students."

As he spoke, he spread his hands: "Although this is just my feeling, if Nanxiang wanted to, he would definitely have a lot of friends."

"is that so?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but glance at Ishikawa Kento.

They are able to maintain their good academic performance.

At the same time, he also possesses...perfect communication skills?

What kind of all-powerful superhero is this?

Is this a high-end version of Yukino Yukinoshita?

And the attitudes of the two of you are really too strange, aren't they?

What kind of teacher would so unilaterally believe in their students?

Having confidence in students is something every teacher needs, but being overconfident in students is also undesirable.

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that Ishikawa Kento and Omiya Na were perhaps too confident in the 'Nango-kun' they were talking about.

There is no such thing as a perfect student in the world.

Just as Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to continue speaking—

"Excuse me, I'm here to submit an article for the school magazine, 'Ocha'."

A calm and gentle voice came from the doorway.

"Ah...it's Nanxiang! We were just talking about you. Come in, come in."

Mr. Ishikawa smiled and gently beckoned the young man outside to come in.

Accompanied by a simple "Excuse me" greeting.

It was only then that Hiratsuka Shizuka met the 'Number One in the Nation' whom both Ishikawa Kento and Omiya Naito praised highly.

The other person has fair skin.

But unlike the pale, feminine look of someone wearing makeup, Nanxiang Shi's skin was a healthy, fair complexion.

Her short, black hair was clearly not well-groomed and looked somewhat messy, but since it wasn't very long, it was still relatively clean and tidy overall.

And hidden beneath that short, black hair are striking facial features that would make a high school student stand out.

Just looking at this face.

Hiratsuka Shizuka roughly understood why Ishikawa Kento could say with such certainty, "If Nango-kun wanted to, he would definitely have a lot of friends."

At least to some extent.

With a face like that, you're sure to have no shortage of female friends.

But what's even more captivating is perhaps the pair of eyes among the other person's facial features.

It lacks the greasy scheming of adults, and also lacks the impetuousness of youth.

Those were eyes that looked particularly 'clean'.

It's at least a million times better looking than the eyes of some high school boy who stares with a dead fish-like gaze all day long.

Who is this teacher?

Under Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze, it was clear that she noticed Nango and looked over with some curiosity.

"I am Shizuka Hiratsuka, a second-year Japanese language teacher at Soubu High School. I am here for an exchange program. Hello, Nango-kun."

Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed lightly, withdrew her overly obvious scrutinizing gaze, and extended her hand with a smile.

"Hello, Hiratsuka-sensei, I am Nango Toki, a second-year student at Ocha High School."

Nango smiled and nodded, then took the initiative to shake hands with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

He strikes a good balance in maintaining a distance, neither overly intimate nor overly distant.

Even Hiratsuka Shizuka, a single woman approaching thirty, had a feeling that being with this guy would probably be quite comfortable.

Cough!

What are you thinking about? Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The other party is a student from another school.

Get rid of any random thoughts that suddenly pop into your head.

Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed lightly, then asked curiously:

"Mr. Ishikawa, is the 'Ocha' school magazine, which is particularly famous at Ocha High School and is published annually as a literary publication?"

As a member of the exchange program, Shizuka Hiratsuka naturally studied some of the traditional customs passed down from Ocha High School.

The Imperial Tea Journal was naturally also within her research scope.

"Yes. The Ocha Festival will begin in about a week and a half, so we need to start preparing for the Ocha school magazine now."

Kento Ishikawa took the manuscript paper that Nango Toki handed him: "Since Hiratsuka-sensei is here, let's take a look at Nango-kun's writing together."

"Hmm...isn't this a little inappropriate...?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was somewhat tempted.

After all, this is something written by the genuine number one writer in Japan.

Completely different from that dead-eyed high school student in my own school who would write essays full of resentment towards society and the world, this one is of exceptional quality.

But since Nango Toki himself was still there, and I'm not a teacher at Ocha High School, it really wasn't quite appropriate, was it?

"It's alright. Does Nanxiang mind?"

At this moment, Nanxiang really wanted to nod.

He had heard of the famous novel "Oregairu" in his previous life, especially the story of Hiratsuka Shizuka, a single woman in her late thirties with an almost obsessive view of marriage and relationships. If she read his novel...

The consequences...

But Kento Ishikawa was, after all, his teacher.

Out of respect for the teaching profession, Nanxiang could only shake his head helplessly at this moment, indicating that he did not mind.
