I just wanted to become an immortal and was forced to open a harem

Her popularity also took the lead, steadily surpassing Yukinoshita Yukino and Kasumigaoka Shiu who were second and third.

That girl was Megumi Kato in front of her. She looked at her far-leading vote count without any joy, and she didn't shake her head and sigh. She just looked at it expressionlessly, as if she were a bystander looking at someone who had nothing to do with her. thing.

Lin Hezhen looked at the rabbit hairpin, which was sitting quietly on the girl's head. The shape of the hairpin was quite cute, and it looked like the type that little girls would like.

“How does it feel to be welcome?”

"Fortunately."

After the initial rush, Kato Megumi has gradually adapted to the current life.

She used to be a person who was good at observation and good at dancing. Although she was inconspicuous, she could play a role in regulating relationships and easing conflicts in small groups. Now that she has become the center of the crowd, it is just a change in her role positioning. With her ability, she can response.

However, adapting does not mean liking it.

As the center of the crowd, you need to always pay attention to your words and deeds, deal with people's warm words, and avoid giving people the impression of being self-righteous.

Whenever she has lunch break or after school, her classmates always invite her to play in various places and make more friends. Megumi Kato is a good-natured person who is not very good at rejecting others. It is inevitable that she will feel tired in the long run.

Lin Hezhen shook his head and said, "Are you okay? Then why is there no smile on your face?"

Kato Megumi was stunned. She stroked her cheek. When was the last time she smiled from the bottom of her heart?It feels like a long, long time has passed.

Now there is only a stiff social smile on her face, as if she is wearing a mask on her face, covering up her true emotions, leaving only a perfect body.

Lin Hezhen asked again: "Is this living situation what you really want?"

Kato Megumi was speechless, and she felt flustered. Staring into those eyes as deep as the stars, she always felt like she was being seen through from the inside out.

"What on earth do you know?" she asked quietly.

"I only know that anything that is not achieved through hard work is just a fake after all."

Kato Megumi's delicate body trembled, and she raised her hand unnaturally to stroke the rabbit hairpin on her bangs.

Lin Hezhen continued to press: "Is this abnormal sense of existence in you a result of praying to the non-smiling cat?"

Kato Megumi remained silent.

Lin Hezhen took a deep breath and frowned: "The Laughing Cat cannot give you what you want out of thin air. It can only take it from others and give it to you. Do you know that if you lose this sense of existence, that person will be What will happen?"

Megumi Kato had never thought about this problem, or rather, she had thought about it, but her intuition prevented her from thinking deeply about it.

The presence she gained was overwhelming, enough to turn an unremarkable girl into as popular as a school idol.

So what happens to people who lose all this?

It’s definitely not going to be too good, maybe it’s hard to live the kind of transparent life that I had before, or maybe I’ll turn into a very annoying existence and find myself in a difficult situation.

Thinking of this, she felt as if she was on the edge of a cliff and had to hold on to the strong iron fence on the edge of the rooftop to steady herself.

"Do you want to say that that person is you?" She suspected that Lin He was really the culprit, otherwise she would not be able to explain why he knew so much.

"No, do you know third-year senior Mai Sakurajima?"

Kato Megumi nodded.

Lin Hezhen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she still remembered.

"In this world today, many people have forgotten her existence. They don't remember her appearance, don't know her name, can't even hear her voice, can't see her figure... When no one can observe her, When it comes to her, she will literally disappear, as if she never existed.”

Hayashi Kazuma calmly narrated that his words struck Megumi Kato like lightning, making her feel a huge sense of guilt.

"Is this true?" Her usually calm face showed an expression of pain, tangle, fear and regret, and her heart felt like a huge stone was weighing down, and she could hardly breathe.

"I wasn't expecting this, I just, just wanted to be a little more visible."

The girl covered her mouth with her hands, looked up at the sky, and suppressed the tears that were about to burst into her eyes.

"Do you know what it feels like to not have expectations from anyone since you were born? It's a slight feeling of suffocation with anger and powerlessness, as if you are watching yourself sinking little by little, until you reach the deepest seabed, but you can't do anything. Even the cry for help was stuck in my throat and I couldn’t utter it.”

“If the world is a large-scale drama co-starred by many people, then I am the background of this drama, just like a tree or a grass. I can only watch the glamorous protagonists perform their joys, sorrows, and sorrows from a distance. And buried her dream of being a heroine deeply.”

"I just want everyone to focus their attention on me, give me affirmation and recognition, let me truly feel that I am needed, and let me know that I am not a dispensable person!"

The girl gave up on herself and said the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time. Her worries and pressure may seem ridiculous to others, but in the girl's heart, they are the culprit that can disturb her peaceful state of mind.

Lin Hezhen did not laugh at her, but said sincerely: "Of course you have the right to pursue a better life, a life that is more in line with your expectations, but the premise is that it must be something real that you have earned through your own efforts, like Is what you get now by relying on prayer what you want?"

"Think about it carefully, does it really make you happy to get this sense of existence that does not belong to you? If you really want it, why don't you try to get it yourself? Besides, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you, no one I know the disadvantages of a weak sense of existence better than you, so can you bear to watch another person fall into a more unfortunate situation than you did because of you?"

His words echoed in the girl's heart like an alarm bell, making her shake.

"So, what should I do?"

"Return the fake thing that the Laughing Cat gave you, and then let me help you find your own stage."

Chapter 32 Snow, continue tutoring

The lunch break passed by in a flash, and Lin Kazuma finally convinced Kato Megumi to cooperate with him, and the two parties exchanged contact information.

The next thing to do is to find a girl who is hiding on purpose, and let the two of them meet while Kato Megumi still remembers her, so that Kato Megumi will have a deeper understanding of the seriousness of the matter, and then they can go find Fuxiao together. The cat settles the score.

Unfortunately, as he was about to rush home after school, he was intercepted again.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, wearing a white windbreaker, crossed her arms and sneered, "Did you forget something?"

Only then did he remember that he had promised the other party that he would go to the Service Department after school every day to receive tutoring from Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Teacher, I have something very important to do today. I want to take a day off! I promise to rank among the top twenty in the class in the next monthly exam!"

Lin Hezhen's class has a total of 40 students. Although the deviation values ​​of students in this school are relatively high, judging from his recent learning results, it is certain that he will be ranked in the top twenty.

"If you don't participate in tutoring, you're going to take the exam? Stop talking nonsense, and you must do what you promise as a man." Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't listen to his explanation, and walked directly to the club classroom with his collar.

Originally, with Lin Hezhen's skills, there were a hundred ways to escape from her.

But considering the subsequent troubles caused, and the fact that she was too big, his arms were tightly hugged by her, and he suffered from friction in the cramped space.

Being coerced by Shizuka Hiratsuka with this kind of torture, Lin Hezhen expressed that he was unable to resist and had no intention of resisting, so he could only let her drag him to the service department.

Arriving at the entrance of the service department, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened the door, pushed Lin Hezhen in like a prisoner, and warned: "Don't even think about sneaking away, I will always monitor you!"

She then said to Yukinoshita Yukino: "Yukishita, if this guy dares to skip class or plot against you, just tell me and I will make him regret living in this world."

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled and said: "Teacher, there is not only one way out in this world to go to college. For young talents like Mr. Lin, after graduating from high school, whether he goes to the factory assembly line to show off his skills, or goes to the convenience store to work the night shift to think about life, it is very suitable. Him."

The words this woman said were still irritating. It really made her pink and tender cherry mouth look so delicious, but she had a poisonous tongue!

It made people want to block that mouth so hard that she could only make meaningless whimpers.

Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's ridicule, Hiratsuka Shizu stood by Lin Hezhen and spoke for him.

"This guy got in with the third highest score in the school. I believe that as long as he is determined to study hard, he will definitely be admitted to a good university in the future."

"Teacher, I will not let you down." Lin Hezhen promised.

He really couldn't dislike this responsible and warm-hearted teacher.

"I will not be perfunctory with a few nice words. If you want me to admit you, show your actual results. Also, if you want to escape from tutoring again, I will let you taste the taste of iron fist punishment!" She said while Gearing up fiercely.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Yukinoshita." Shizuka Hiratsuka said the final words before waving and walking out of the classroom.

The classroom door closes, and it's time for the boys and girls to be alone again.Without Yukinoshita Yukino's greeting, Lin Hezhen walked directly to his seat and sat down.

Since yesterday's tutoring session, he had temporarily had his own seat in the service department, located on the right side of Yukinoshita, some distance away from her table.

Yukinoshita Yukino closed the book she was reading and said in her unique cold and melodious voice: "First, give me the homework assigned yesterday to check, and at the same time recite the words and text to me."

"at the same time?"

"Meanwhile. Any questions?"

"If you can multitask, there's really no problem."

"Two tasks is a basic operation for me, who is number one in my school year."

This woman, will she die if she doesn’t show off?Lin Hezhen rolled his eyes in his mind, took out his homework and handed it to her, cleared his throat and started to recite.

Although he had a fight with the Laughing Cat early this morning, he still completed his homework seriously yesterday, and completed all the tasks assigned to him by Yukinoshita Yukino meticulously.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino is not a woman who is easily satisfied.

She is very strict with others and herself, and pursues perfection in both process and results.

In her dictionary, there is no best, only better, and her attitude toward others is not the worst, only worse.

For example, she now pointed at Lin Hezhen's answer to a certain reading question with disgust and said, "The question asked you what is the meaning of 'there is a strange light shining in the fish's eyes' as the ending? How do you answer the question?"

Lin Hezhen exclaimed: "How do I know why fish eyes are shining with strange light? Is it because they are rich in DHA because they are still alive? How about calling Hikigaya Hachiman to ask, he must have unique insights into the eyes of dead fish."

Yukinoshita Yukino pressed her temples and said patiently: "Think about it carefully with your brain, which is not much bigger than a fish brain. This article is called 'A Kind of Deliciousness'."

"The whole novel describes the story of a family short of food accidentally catching a fish to cook fish soup, but at the end it is discovered that the fish was not cooked into the pot at all. This O. Henry's reversal is placed at the end, which gives people an unexpected feeling. The dramatic and 'weird' aspects have profound meanings, causing readers to think deeply about the article."

Lin Hezhen muttered: "But I think maybe even the original author didn't think that much, and the person who created the question just deliberately made things difficult for people."

Yukinoshita took a deep breath and said: "Don't you feel ashamed if you don't even know the root cause of your clumsiness, embarrassment, and stupidity, and you still blame others? Read it a hundred times and the meaning will come to you. Increase your reading and It’s not difficult to come to conclusions if you think hard.”

"If your fish brain really can't understand it, just do more and practice more. There are only a few types of articles and question ideas. The stupid method of question sea tactics is also suitable for you. Just in case a blind cat encounters a dead mouse. , I encountered the original problem."

In short, Yukinoshita pointed out his mistakes mercilessly and never let go of some detailed issues.

Moreover, while preaching, it is also mixed with subtle personal attacks, coupled with the contemptuous line that is swept from time to time, it simply makes some special XP enthusiasts say "yes"!

It's a pity that Lin Hezhen didn't awaken to his special hobby. In order to shorten this torturous time, he performed exceptionally and completed today's study task ahead of schedule.

Seeing that he had done well, Yukinoshita Yukino kindly accelerated his learning progress and greatly increased the amount of after-school exercises so that he could happily spend the following weekend. She is really a gentle, considerate, and considerate woman.

Lin Hezhen was almost moved to tears. Major educational institutions in the island country need talents like you to allow parents to realize their dream of "letting their children win at the starting line."

After tutoring, Hayashi Kazuma asked Yukinoshita Yukino while packing his things: "What do you think of third-year senior Mai Sakurajima?"

"Senpai Sakurajima Mai, who is that?"

"Ha, didn't you say you memorized the names of all the teachers and students in the school?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and said: "It is precisely because I have remembered the names of all the teachers and students in the school that I am curious, why have I never heard of this senior? It is more likely that you are mistaken. Our school has no There is no such person, right?"

Lin Hezhen moved his hands, and the situation worsened.

"Goodbye, and thank you for your tutoring."

He hurriedly said goodbye to Yukinoshita Yukino, stuffed all the books and stationery into his schoolbag, and ran out of the classroom.

Chapter 33 The beautiful girl only I can see

He ran to the door of Mai Sakurajima's classroom, where there were several students who had just finished their club activities and were packing their things to go home.

"Do you know Mai Sakurajima?" he asked standing at the door.

"Mai Sakurajima, who is that?" The students looked at each other.

He found the girl who told her that Sakurajima Mai had taken leave that morning and asked, "Do you remember me? This morning I asked you why Sakurajima Mai didn't come to school, and you told me that she took leave today."

The girl thought hard and said, "I seem to have seen you this morning. What is the name of the person you asked about, Ying? Sorry, I have no memory."

It seemed that Mai Sakurajima's classmates had completely forgotten about her, so Hayashi Kazuma no longer missed her and turned around to leave.

He took out his cell phone and found that Mai Sakurajima had contacted him many times, but he didn't notice because he was on mute in class.

Lin Hezhen hurriedly dialed back, and was picked up as soon as the bell rang.

"It's so slow! Why didn't you answer my call?" Mai Sakurajima's voice was filled with resentment, just like a resentful woman who had been left alone by her boyfriend.

"I was taken to tutoring by Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, and my phone was always on silent." Lin Hezhen explained briefly and asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm at your door. No one can see me now, and the talisman doesn't work. I can't buy anything, and I haven't eaten for a day." There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice.

"I understand. Now go back to your house and don't run around. I'll come to you right away."

After saying that, Lin Hezhen cut off the phone and hurried home.

He went to the shoe cabinet and put on his shoes, and took the time to send a message to the few contacts on the line, asking them if they still remembered Mai Sakurajima.

Uego Yoshihiko replied instantly: "Mai Sakurajima, who is that? A girl from our school or from outside the school? Is she pretty?"

Lin Hezhen sent a voice message saying: "She is very beautiful in school, but you can't see or touch her. You can't even remember that there is such a person. She goes to school every day, but everyone in the school ignores her existence."

Uego Yoshihiko: "Are you telling a ghost story? It's so scary."

Lin Hezhen: "No, it's true, because I can see her."

Uego Yoshihiko: "The setting you mentioned is very similar to "Another". Are you making a supplement? Although this work is very unpopular, the characters, plot, and animation are all great. It is still based on reasoning It is adapted from the novel by the writer Ayatsuji. You are really discerning in choosing it as a otaku novel. By the way, I also recommend it..."
