In the time loop, I do whatever I want

Makoto Fushimi stood at the bedroom door behind them, arms crossed, silently watching Shizuka Hiratsuka's performance.

"This guy is still pretending he's not here?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled dismissively and pushed the door open forcefully.

Matsukaze Mayu quickly looked inside, then paused, surprised: "There's no one here."

"what?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka went inside in surprise, and there really wasn't a soul in sight.

Matsukaze Mayu was somewhat disappointed that she didn't see the face she desired.

But she quickly recovered and covered her mouth with a laugh, saying, "Xiao Jing, you're going to eat the table now."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's face darkened, and she was about to awkwardly try to explain herself when Fushimi Makoto's voice rang out from behind her: "Shizuka, you're so cute, when did you start eating the table?"

"Acheng?" Matsukaze Mayu turned around in surprise.

Hiratsuka Shizuka mechanically turned her neck, staring blankly at Fushimi Makoto in front of her, and asked in bewilderment, "When did you come out?"

Although she had been chatting with her best friend since she got back, she still kept an eye on what was happening in the bathroom.

She was certain that she had not seen Makoto Fushimi come out of the bathroom.

"Do I have to tell you myself that I can teleport?" Fushimi Makoto said unhurriedly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu clearly did not believe it.

Fushimi Makoto pointed to the small table with bottles of wine and food on it: "Alright, Shizuka, now it's your turn to perform eating the table."

Matsukaze Mayu turned her head and smiled softly.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was both embarrassed and annoyed: "You, are you deliberately waiting to see me make a fool of myself?"

"No." Fushimi Makoto naturally denied it.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was silent for a moment, then forced an awkward smile: "I was just joking."

"But Mr. Songfeng and I don't think you're joking."

As soon as Fushimi Makoto finished speaking, Matsukaze Mayu nodded in agreement.

"You two..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her forehead in annoyance, thinking to herself that she must have drunk too much, otherwise why would she have said such impulsive things?

It's obvious that Fushimi Makoto and his companion just want to have some fun. Even if she can shamelessly pretend nothing happened, these two definitely won't give her the chance.

With that thought in mind, Hiratsuka Shizuka gritted her teeth, stubbornly declared, "As long as I don't eat the table, I'll eat anything you want!"

Matsukaze Mayu was quite surprised: "You'd actually be willing to eat lemons if A-Cheng offered them to you?"

“That’s right.” Hiratsuka Shizuka was also caught up in the moment and made the promise without hesitation.

Matsukaze Mayu rarely showed her mischievous side. She winked at Fushimi Makoto and said, "How about I go to the market and buy some lemons now? Eating raw lemons can be deadly."

Fushimi Makoto shook his head and said, "Eating lemons raw is nothing special; eating lemons without any expression is impressive."

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Matsukaze Mayu both froze.

The two imagined themselves trying to eat lemons without any expression, and inexplicably felt a pang of toothache.

At this point, Makoto Fushimi continued, "However, I don't intend to let Shizuka challenge herself to eat lemons."

"Then what do you want me to eat?" A sliver of hope arose in Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart.

Fushimi Makoto immediately smiled.

Matsukaze Mayu was taken aback, then suddenly smiled shyly.

She guessed what Fushimi Makoto was going to do.

……

Around 9 p.m., Makoto Fushimi suddenly received a phone call from Eriri.

He quickly raised his hand, signaling Hiratsuka Shizuka to be quiet.

Mayu Matsukaze, who was standing to the side, nodded obediently. She was now only wearing half a nightgown.

The reason it's described as "half a piece" is because her nightgown had already fallen down to her waist.

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka?

She was kneeling.

As soon as the call connected, Eriri's anxious and aggrieved voice rang out: "Fushimi, something strange has happened to me, please help me!"

Her tone was very agitated.

Fushimi Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

Seriously? Is she really that stupid as to make a schedule tonight?

In other words, is she currently executing the plan?

Sure enough, Eriri's uneasy voice confirmed his answer: "You might not believe it, but my body is completely out of my control right now. I clearly want to read manga, but my body has its own ideas. I was just forced to exercise for an hour..."

Makoto Fushimi almost burst out laughing.

But his smile quickly froze.

Because Hiratsuka Shizuka has put in her effort.

Clearly, this was her little act of revenge.

Fushimi Makoto took a deep breath, glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka who was smirking, and said, "Eriri, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, tell me in detail what exactly happened?"

Eriri quickly explained the situation.

Just as Fushimi Makoto had predicted, she was indeed foolish enough to fill out the schedule completely, and the execution would begin tonight.

"So, there's something wrong with that inexplicably extra schedule?" Fushimi Makoto asked, feigning ignorance.

"Yes, I'm sure there's something wrong with this thing. Please don't hang up now, because if you do, I'll still call you uncontrollably."

"Wait, is there another project on your schedule that calls me?"

"Um... I just filled this out on a whim. I'll give it to you or ask Senior Shiyu for help."

"I understand, I'll start teaching you now."

"Huh? Now?"

"Otherwise what? You said yourself that your body is out of control. What can you do if I don't teach you during this time?"

"……I see."

So, in this strange atmosphere, Eriri reluctantly began to ask Fushimi Makoto for advice.

She vaguely sensed that something seemed off about Fushimi Makoto's voice.

It sounded like someone was eating on the other end of the phone.

Chapter 308 Nationwide Learning Frenzy

On Monday, Eriri's classmates at school, who were fairly familiar with her, noticed something strange.

That is, Eriri seems to have become a "model student".

Not only do they listen attentively in class, but they also study their notes diligently after class.

Occasionally, she would ask a classmate with good grades for help with a complicated expression.

As for why her expression was complicated, the classmate Eriri asked said this: "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that Sawamura seems to be very resistant to studying, but she studies very hard. During breaks, except when she goes to the bathroom, she basically just stays in her seat studying her notes."

Those classmates who were fairly familiar with Eriri wanted to chat with her, but when they saw her engrossed in her studies, doing doodles and practice problems, they decided not to bother her for the time being.

As Eriri's classmate, especially after the short film went viral, this blonde twin-tailed girl received more attention and admiration from her classmates, to the point that many people now know one thing—Eri's high school grades were not ideal.

It's not that it's particularly bad, but it's still a long way from being considered a top student.

Therefore, when everyone saw that Eriri had suddenly become so enthusiastic about studying, they thought that Eriri probably felt that her grades were not good enough, so she made up her mind to study hard and try to improve her grades before the next exam.

It's just that Eriri didn't know what her classmates were thinking, otherwise she would definitely have blushed and shouted, "You've got it wrong! I really didn't expect to be doing so many practice problems every minute of every day like this! My body is out of control!"

It's all the fault of that schedule!

Eriri's fingers tightened around the pen, her fair face filled with resistance.

There's a saying that goes: humans can't even empathize with themselves from yesterday.

Her current state perfectly proves the existence of this statement.

Because she really wanted to travel back to that day and give that version of herself who impulsively filled up her schedule a good beating.

If I hadn't been so impulsive that day, how could I be studying so hard here today?

You should know that she spends her precious weekends of relaxation and rest studying...

"And what Fushimi told me that night, even though my head was spinning from listening, I still remember it so clearly... Seriously, when did I become such a learning genius? I'm so eager for knowledge, it's ridiculous."

Eriri kept muttering to herself, but her brain was able to multitask effortlessly.

Even though she was constantly complaining in her heart, her mind was still diligently absorbing knowledge.

Just like that night when I talked to Makoto Fushimi.

Although she hated this strange experience of losing control of her body, she couldn't deny that she had made progress after fully immersing herself in learning.

In particular, during breaks between classes, I would "proactively" ask high-achieving classmates for help, and suddenly I learned a lot more knowledge.

"I remember the schedule mentioned it would last a week? So do I have to endure another week?"

Life is tough, Eriri sighed.

When the third period ended, she returned from the restroom and continued to bury herself in her studies, which she couldn't control. Then she heard a girl next to her excitedly say, "I just saw Fushimi-kun outside."

Fushimi Makoto?

Eriri's heart skipped a beat.

Has he come up with a solution?

Will he descend from the sky to save me like in superhero movies?

If he really does that, then next time I get a massage from him, it's not impossible for me to take off my skirt with him...

Eriri pricked up her ears and stared at her study notes, multitasking as she eavesdropped on her classmates' conversation.

"Where did you see Fushimi-kun?"

“He was just outside our classroom. He seemed to be looking for someone... Well, that doesn’t quite fit. Maybe he was just wandering around and glanced at our classroom a few times.”

"That must be it. There aren't any girls in our class who have been rumored to be dating him, so there's no reason for him to come here."

"Didn't Sawamura work with him on the filming? Do you think he might be here because of Sawamura?"

Upon hearing her name, Eriri found her heart pounding uncontrollably, and even her face began to flush.

The gossipy female classmates continued: "It shouldn't be possible, right? I'm fairly familiar with Sawamura-kun, and she's never mentioned Fushimi-kun much."

Why should I talk to you about Fushimi?

Eriri pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Just because Sawamura doesn't mention it doesn't mean she doesn't care about Fushimi. After all, everyone knows that the ideal boyfriend in the hearts of all the girls in the school, besides Fushimi, is Hayama."

"That makes sense. Sawamura and he even filmed a short film together. Maybe their feelings for each other have grown over time?"

Eriri: I'm not sure if my feelings for Makoto Fushimi have warmed up, but my face has definitely started to heat up.

At that moment, the girls instinctively turned around and looked over.

Eriri was startled, but quickly regained her composure.

Because she was focused on studying, she wouldn't reveal that she was eavesdropping.

One of the short-haired girls who knew her asked curiously, "Sawamura-san, why is your face so red?"

Eriri: "I've studied the Red Temperature technique!"

The girls looked at each other, completely bewildered.

At noon, everyone else left the classroom to eat, but Eriri remained seated.

No way? I'm starving! Does this awful schedule mean I can't even eat?
