My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"I went straight to sleep after I finished, and you can tell how I felt the next day."

He's talking about homework, that's for sure.

But a bed with new sheets might not agree.

Chapter 265 After the final exams comes Christmas.

"Hey, Shiraishi, you look great today. You practically slept all day yesterday," Takagi Ryo said, closing his textbook as he entered the classroom through the back door.

"After all, I got a good rest last night; yesterday was an unexpected situation."

I went to bed much earlier than the day before yesterday.

“I understand, it’s Monday syndrome, it’s very common during puberty. I have it too, but unfortunately I don’t encounter bunny girl ladies.” Then Takagi Ryo lowered his voice, “Speaking of bunny girls, come here, I’ll tell you a mysterious code, I just discovered it yesterday.”

"No need, I don't need that kind of thing anymore." Shiraishi Zexiu waved his hand.

"What?! What's wrong with you, Shiraishi? This is the culmination of human wisdom, how could we not need it!"

“I have recently been studying the ‘Treatise on Bodhicitta’ and have made some progress. The glitz and glamour of the world will have absolutely no effect on me.”

"Is your Bodhi serious? Does she wear clothes? Does she have code?" Upon hearing this, Takeuchi Arisu also looked up from his exercise book and asked curiously.

"Bodhi is not a Bodhisattva, so he can't be considered a person. Can't you be a little more cultured? What are you going to do for the final exam?" Shiraishi Zexiu sighed and said helplessly.

He had already taken his seat, taken out the book "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" that he had swiped from the high-heeled shoe research department yesterday, and started reading.

"There's still a month until the final exams, they shouldn't make things difficult for us, right?"

"Where's Kuramochi-san? Takanashi?" Shiraishi Sawah ignored them and asked, noticing that Kuramochi Sakura's seat in front was empty.

"She went to work with her mother. She said there was nothing fun to do anyway, so she could just come back and take the exam later."

"I see."

Outside the window, white clouds undulate against the azure sky. A tram speeds by in the distance, and Shiraishi Sawa can imagine the rumbling sound it made when it was nearby, before disappearing along the tracks into the jungle of skyscrapers.

The warm sunlight streamed through the glass, bringing a touch of comfort, while the swaying shadows of the branches seemed to carry the passage of time with them.

There are no more worthwhile entertainment activities, or rather, every day of Shiraishi Sawa Hide is filled with entertainment.

His life became: slacking off at school—slacking off in the high-heeled shoe research department—slacking off at home like a lazy bum, restraining his desires and cultivating the Bodhicitta theory—sometimes he couldn't resist returning to worldly life and then slacking off in sage mode.

In short, it's all about paddling.

December 25th, Christmas Day, is also the day after the final exams and the day to pick up report cards.

At 3 p.m., Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko got off at Kyobashi Station and walked to school together.

Today, there was no requirement to wear school uniforms, so Shiraishi Sawa chose a long linen gray trench coat. The belt at the back was pulled up to the front and tied loosely, with the Y-shaped neckline slightly open, revealing a black turtleneck sweater underneath.

He heard a passerby describe him as a lazy, handsome guy.

However, no one dared to approach them, because Yuko Takanashi, standing beside them, was equally dazzling.

Her upper body was completely covered by a white cotton coat, concealing all the beautiful scenery within, making it difficult to see the mountains and rivers. Around her neck was a scarf—with the words 'Bai Shi' embroidered on it, though it was not visible.

Her tight-fitting jeans perfectly showcased her graceful leg curves, creating a striking contrast with her loose upper body, resulting in a unique and beautiful contrast.

Compared to the two of them, the other students on the road had to become mere supporting characters.

"I wonder if it will snow this Christmas." Shiraishi Zexiu reached out and caught a withered leaf, then casually tossed it onto the grass by the roadside. As he spoke, a wisp of white mist was exhaled, spreading and then dissipating.

Shiraishi Sawa is a mature person now and wouldn't deliberately play such a boring and childish game as "I am a Charizard" anymore—he'd been playing it for days and didn't want to anymore.

"It's cold now, but the weather forecast says it won't be," Yuko Takanashi said, pulling her scarf down a little to let her pale pink lips kiss the cold air as she looked at her phone.

"Then we can look forward to it."

"System, how many points are needed to create a [Weather Card]?"

[Creating a match item... Successfully created! [Weather Card] Price: 1000 points]

It's quite cheap, but Shiraishi Sawa is just looking and doesn't plan to buy it. The [Any Item Purchaser] is still very valuable.

"Hey, Takagi, you don't look so energetic today. Did you go researching bunny girls again yesterday?"

Stepping into the classroom, there was still a noticeable temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor areas. Because everyone had changed into winter clothes, the classroom looked quite crowded. However, the atmosphere inside was cheerful, with everyone looking forward to Christmas.

Takagi Ryo looked nervous, his hands clasped together and he kept muttering to himself, which made him seem out of place with his surroundings. Therefore, Shiraishi Sawah teased him.

"I take refuge in all Buddhas of the three worlds," Takagi Ryo said, glancing at Shiraishi Sawa.

"Amitabha." Takeuchi Arisu and Maeda Shusei, who were also in the back row, turned to look at Shiraishi Sawa Hide at the same time, put their hands together, and said this, with a look of no desire on their faces.

"No way??? You guys actually read 'The Treatise on Bodhicitta'? Takagi and the other two, if you're sick, I suggest you see a doctor sooner rather than later?" Shiraishi Sawa suspected that there was something wrong with the way he opened the back door today.

“Someone like you with perfect grades wouldn’t understand,” Takagi Ryo said.

"You said you felt great last night, how come you're like this today?"

"I'm not praying for myself, I'm praying for Fanyi! Her mom said that if her grades aren't good, she has to go straight home after picking up her report card and won't be able to come out to play on Christmas!"

"And what about you two?" Shiraishi Sawa looked at Takeuchi Arisu and Maeda Shusuke.

“Fukada-san... she also has two close friends. Takagi said that the two of us can go with her tonight, so we are also praying for her.”

Kuramochi Sakura turned her head in surprise, clearly shocked by the story.

"Kuramochi-san, you're back! You didn't even take your final exams, what are you here for today?" Shiraishi Sawah gave his three friends two thumbs up and walked back to his seat to ask.

After the club training camp ended, Kuramochi Sakurai went out with her mother on and off for three weeks, spending very few days at school. The flowers sent by Shiraishi Sawa Hide were left unappreciated.

“I applied to the school and will take the exams online those days,” Kuramochi Sakura shrugged.

"I suspect you'll take my number one spot, but I have no proof. Oh, by the way, here, this is for you, it's been washed."

Shiraishi Sawa took out two apples from his bag—supposedly from Aomori Prefecture. He ate one himself and handed the other to Kuramochi Sakura, explaining why he was giving her the apples.

After all, there is no such symbolism in Japan. Japanese people like to go to KFC on Christmas Eve, which Shiraishi Sawa Hide doesn't quite understand.

The other three had already been given to me, but Ichiyo and Soga Kirei found them by blocking the entrance.

As for why the apple is described as "supposedly," it's because it was bought online with the title "Big Apples from Aomori," but after receiving it, Shiraishi Sawa, a local, couldn't recognize it at all.

I can bring them some authentic ones when I come back for the Chinese New Year.

"I just got back last night and had a good night's sleep," Kuramochi Sakura said, taking a small bite out of her apple with a slightly annoyed look on her face. "But I have to attend that Christmas party tonight and pretend to speak English all the time. It's so troublesome."

"I suggest you slip away early," Shiraishi Sawa said with a smile.

He knew about the banquet and that Chiyo would have to attend, since Christmas is an extremely important holiday in the West, equivalent to the Chinese New Year.

The banquet was hosted by two foreign business partners, and because they were not the hosts, it was inconvenient for them to invite Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko.

"Of course I will, Yuko, I'll come find you then."

"Okay, let me know a little in advance so I can tell them."

On such a holiday, it would be impossible for Yuuko Kotori to be free; she already had plans.

Shiraishi Sawa also made an appointment, or rather, he made an appointment with someone else—he went directly to the High Heels Research Club and asked two girls if they were free and if they could do him the honor of coming out to play with him on Christmas.

That's how she learned that Chiyo was going to attend a banquet, so today, the only person she'll be spending Christmas with is the student council president.

However, Chiyo made a request: when she escaped, Shiraishi Sawa Hide needed to accompany her, alone.

The scene descended into chaos. Although Shiraishi Sawa decided to take the initiative, he still silently covered his ears and hid in a corner under these circumstances. In the end, their agreement that they would escape too early would not be valid.

"Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope you'll still be happy after seeing your second semester final grades." Gennai Ichiro walked into the classroom on time at the agreed-upon time, sensing everyone's tension.

Contrary to what Shiraishi Sawa thought, he came in third this time, which is quite normal. He really wasn't serious about the final exams—or rather, he never was. The only thing he could say for sure was that he read a lot of classic literature outside of class.

"Alright, the grades have been released. Our third semester starts on January 10th. In the second week after the start of the semester, everyone will need to fill out the subject selection form. So take advantage of this winter break to think it over carefully."

The next time we meet will be in the new year. Happy New Year everyone!

When the announcement comes on, everyone go to the stadium together....."

Hideaki Shiraishizawa was still listening half-heartedly when he noticed Arisu Takeuchi calling him:

"White Stone, White Stone, Pusspus!"

"What's wrong."

"President Su is outside, probably looking for you." Seeing Bai Shize looking over, the three boys in the back row pointed outside together.

The back door is now closed, but there is a small window, and Soga Kirei's adorable head is positioned perfectly in the center, like a masterpiece hanging in an artist's home.

With all eyes fixed on him, Shiraishi Sawa raised his hand:

"Teacher, I need to go to the toilet."

"Go."

Shiraishi Sawah pushed open the door and pulled Soga Kirei towards the corner near the shoe cabinet.

"What's wrong, President?"

"Today is Christmas, let's celebrate Christmas."

Soga Kirei was wearing a bright red sweater today. The sweater had very long sleeves—if pulled down vertically, they could cover the entire hand. Normally, only a few fingers would be visible, making her look very cute.

The white pleated skirt only covered her knees, but fortunately she was wearing a thicker version of sheer tights, which made her legs look smooth and beautiful.

While looking at it, I sometimes have the urge to tear it open and peek at the real skin inside.

“I know it’s Christmas today, and I haven’t forgotten our promise.” Shiraishi Sawah was both amused and exasperated. So that’s what it was about. “But we’re still at school now. What are you all doing right now?”

"They arrived very early, so they ended very early; they've already disbanded."

"Aren't we going to the gymnasium later?" The winter break mobilization meeting aimed to encourage students to study hard during the short winter break.

"This time there are no fixed positions, and neither I nor Miko need to stand up and speak. We can escape."

Soga Kirei pulled him downstairs. Shiraishi Sawah scratched his head but didn't stop him. He quickened his pace so the two of them could walk side by side. At the same time, he asked Takanashi Yuuko on LINE to help him with the half-eaten apple.

Otherwise, when I come back next semester, I might look strange.

In short, Shiraishi Sawa used this one toilet until the next semester.
