With the bag of potato chips on his lap, Shiraishi Sawa finally managed to eat the chips with one hand.

--

The movie's cast list slowly appeared at the end, indicating that the movie had finished playing.

Shiraishi Sawa yawned, wanting to cover it with his hand, but he no longer had hands.

Under his coaxing and cajoling, Yuuko Takanashi developed the good habit of going to bed before midnight, and now she's asleep with her head on his left shoulder.

Soga Kirei seemed to have gone to sleep quite early as well. She was already leaning against something, and after her body became uncontrollable, her face was pressed against Shiraishi Sawa's arm, and her hands were already loosely wrapped around him. Shiraishi Sawa could occasionally feel the slight coolness of Soga Kirei's lips.

In some ways, Shiraishi Sawa is a winner in life, but in other ways he is not, because he lost both hands at a young age.

Without hands, Shiraishi Sawah quietly looked at the cast list for a minute before calling Takanashi, because he needed to ask her to take Soga Kirei back later.

"Birds swimming? Birds swimming?"

He called out softly twice, but Takanashi Yuuko didn't respond. Shiraishi Sawa nudged her with his shoulder and elbow.

Shiraishi Zexiu regretted it; he shouldn't have stood up for him.

Yuko Takanashi, who was already not very stable, was bumped twice and her body tilted slightly outward. Because she had no support, she slid straight towards Hideaki Shiraishi.

She lay sprawled on Shiraishi Zexiu's legs.

This time, Shiraishi Sawa was too ashamed to admit that he had forgotten how to feel, because he couldn't bring himself to do it...

My left upper arm is numb from being pressed against by Yuko Takanashi for too long...

Shiraishi Sawa tried to pull his hand out, but since it was his left hand, he wasn't very strong. Furthermore, Takanashi Yuuko shifted her entire weight onto him, so Shiraishi Sawa's hand only managed to push upwards slightly, without actually being pulled out...

If I had to describe it, it would be more like... *crack*?

Well, my hand is numb, and now I'm numb too.

The worst part was that Takanashi Yuuko then let out a soft murmur, as if her sleep had been disturbed.

"Hmm~~?"

Don't wake up! Don't wake up! Please don't wake up now!

Deep within his soul, Shiraishi Sawa prayed to the heavens with both hands, "Jesus, Buddha, author, please, there's no need to wake up at a time like this."

Seemingly hearing Shiraishi Sawa's call, Takanashi Yuuko didn't actually wake up. Instead, she seemed uncomfortable in her lying position and turned her head towards Shiraishi Sawa, snuggling closer to him.

Her left hand, which had just been trying to regain its strength during the activity, was pressed down by an even greater weight. To make matters worse, Takanashi Yuuko's face was now facing the ultimate danger zone.

Soga Kirei seemed to have been half-awake by Takanashi Yuuko's murmur. She frowned, made a similar humming sound, and then adjusted her posture.

Her hands, which had been loosely clasped, now tightly gripped Shiraishi Sawa's arm, and she tried to pull it towards her, wanting to draw it into her embrace. When she realized she couldn't pull it in, she leaned closer herself and rested her face against Shiraishi Sawa's hand again.

Shiraishi Sawa's right hand was now being gently touched, and at this moment he could truly understand what Takanashi Yuuko had said when the two of them were taking a bath: "Sumi, I'm tall, and yours isn't small either!"

It's really not small.

To make matters worse, a sixteen-year-old, under the influence of this dual sensory experience, is really prone to...

I frantically chanted calming mantras in my mind, but to no avail.

As a result, Takanashi Yuuko felt very uncomfortable, even though she had just been lying there comfortably.

Shiraishi Sawa watched as Takanashi Yuuko slowly opened her eyes, her gaze meeting his in a daze.

"Sigh~" Shiraishi Sawah sighed, "I'm sorry."

But for some reason I found it funny, and I couldn't help but laugh. I really wanted to touch my nose, but I didn't have a hand.

"I'm guilty."

Chapter 124 Luckily, the two of them knew nothing.

Having given up struggling, Shiraishi Sawa stopped moving his hands, waiting for Takanashi Yuuko to fully wake up so she could judge him.

How can I defend myself? I need an answer urgently!

Or at least die in a dignified way!

Unexpectedly, Takanashi Yuuko first turned her head away, and the process of her face rubbing against Shiraishi Sawa was particularly torturous for Shiraishi Sawa. Then she murmured a few words, slowly sat up on her own, and began to rub her eyes.

Taking advantage of this moment, Shiraishi Sawa Hideya pulled out his completely numb left hand and began to weakly shake it, trying to speed up its recovery.

They just dodged that socially awkward situation?!

Perhaps even Heaven is looking out for me.

After about ten seconds, Takanashi Yuuko seemed to be fully awake, but her head was nodding slightly, and her voice still carried a heavy drowsiness:

"What time is it? Is the movie over yet?"

"It's almost 12:30, yes, the movie just ended, but Takanashi, you and the president are both asleep," Shiraishi Sawa replied honestly.

"Hmm~" Takanashi Yuko yawned. "Is that so? I'm so sleepy. I'll take President Su to his room."

“I had the same idea, so I won’t wake her up.” With her left hand free, things were much easier. After regaining some strength, Shiraishi Sawa began to pry Soga Kirei’s hand apart from his own.

The process of pulling out one's right hand inevitably makes one's mind wander a little. However, Shiroishi Sawa has not yet backed down, and is trying his best to bend over so that Takanashi Yuuko will not notice.

Soga Kirei grabbed Shiraishi Sawa's arm very hard, and after finally managing to pull her hand away, Shiraishi Sawa noticed that there were red marks on his hand from the grip.

Luckily, Soga Kirei didn't have long fingernails, otherwise she might have scratched herself until she bled. Are all sleeping girls this strong? Takanashi is the same, and so is the student council president.

Shiraishi Sawa helped Takanashi Yuko guide the student council president into the room and let Soga Kirei sleep on the bed.

"I'll leave the rest to you?" Shiraishi Sawa said softly to Takanashi Yuko.

“Okay,” Takanashi Yuko yawned again, “Go back to sleep, Shiraishi-kun, it’s getting late.”

"Okay, good night."

"Good night."

Shiraishi Sawa tiptoed out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"Ah~~~"

Almost the instant the door closed, Takanashi Yuuko buried her face in the pillow, her ears turning bright red.

"How could this happen?" came her muffled voice from under the pillow.

After a while, she sat on the bed with her arms crossed over her chest. Suddenly, she scratched herself and then covered her face. Remembering something, she pulled the blanket up to cover Suga Wulian's neck and then shrank under the blanket.

Suga Wulian turned her head to look, then turned back to continue pretending to be asleep. She looked down at herself, her face showing some annoyance.

--

"Phew~," Shiraishi Sawa wiped away imaginary sweat as he stepped out of the room.

"Luckily, neither of them knew anything, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it."

Shiraishi Sawa returned to the bed and sat quietly for a few minutes until he was completely weak before lying down. He was still considering whether to reward himself, but after thinking about it, he decided it was inappropriate and decided against it.

"I never want to do something like this again..."

Halfway through his sentence, Shiraishi Sawa smiled slightly and licked his lips. "Ahem, never mind, never mind, forget I said anything. There's always next time."

Shiraishi Sawah turned off the light and fell asleep peacefully with a satisfied expression.

The next morning at six o'clock, Shiraishi Sawah got up, grabbed a new pair of underwear, and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

"I'm a bit weak today, so I shouldn't go for a morning run. I should take a nap instead."

When he woke up again, it was already past nine o'clock. When Shiraishi Sawa left the room, he saw Takanashi Yuko and Soga Kirei already sitting on the sofa. Takanashi Yuko was reading "Zheng Baike" and Soga Kirei was practicing calligraphy with Shiraishi Sawa's fountain pen.

After meeting Shiraishi Sawa, the two greeted each other, but I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I felt that all three of them were a little awkward.

After grabbing two steamed buns from the kitchen for breakfast, Shiraishizawa Hide returned to the living room and watched Soga Kiri Ren practicing with great enthusiasm.

The skill level is indeed quite high, and the handwriting looks somewhat familiar, but when asked to name the master whose handwriting it is, Shiraishi Sawah couldn't recall.

"President, what font is this?"

"It's just something I wrote randomly after mixing and matching different ideas; it's not a standalone piece."

"Strange, why does this feel so familiar?"

Soga Kirei lowered her head and continued practicing calligraphy, without answering the question. Shiraishi Sawa didn't think much of it either, and sat down to continue eating her steamed buns.

By the time she had filled the blank page, Shiraishi Sawa had finished breakfast and was looking at her phone.

"Shall we continue?" Soga Kirei said to Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuuko.

"Ok!"

“We got to page 223 yesterday, right? Shiraishi, could you give me the ‘Zheng Yi Bai Ke’?”

......

By evening, his [Super Memory] time had finally reached 1 hour, and Shiraishi Sawa Hide couldn't wait to use [Super Memory] to see how effective it was.

You have successfully activated [Super Memory], using the minimum unit of hours.

As the system voice prompted him, Shiraishi Sawa felt a prick on his head, but only once.

The next moment, everything in front of me suddenly became exceptionally clear and bright. It seemed that I could recall the scene from just a few seconds ago in my mind at any time if I wanted to.

After a few seconds of getting used to the feeling, Shiraishi Sawa reopened "Zheng Baike".

With just a quick glance from the top left to the bottom left to the bottom right to the top right, Shiraishi Sawah had memorized the entire two pages of encyclopedia and began flipping through the book at high speed.

The speed at which she was reading seemed to startle Yuuko Takanashi and Kirei Soga, who were standing nearby.

"What are you doing, Shiraishi-kun?"

"I'm practicing my page-turning speed." Seeing the two people's disbelief, Shiraishi Sawa had no choice but to change his story. "I'm trying to memorize the approximate location of each category in this book, so that if I forget a section in the future, I can quickly find it without having to look up the table of contents."

This is the only reason I can come up with; saying it's "super memory" would be even less believable.

The "Zheng Yi Bai Ke" only has 487 pages in total, and Shiraishi Sawa Hide finished reading it in less than an hour.

He remembers everything about this place clearly in his mind, and Shiraishi Sawa can even recite the entire contents of each page.

Well... even though the semi-finals will include other additional content, I'm sure getting into the top 1% shouldn't be a problem at all, right?

Closing his book, Shiraishi Sawa Hide, with a hint of pride, smiled and asked Takanashi Yuuko, "Takanashi, are you planning to study humanities or sciences in your second year of high school?"

"Humanities, physics and chemistry are a bit difficult. You, Shiraishi, should choose science, right?"
