Since it wouldn't interfere with his return to the lottery, Lin Qianshu naturally had no reason to refuse. He could also try to see if he could trigger Yukinoshita's wish request.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianshu smiled and gave his answer.
"Okay."
Chapter 14 You Still Have Parents
Soubu High School is not far from the residence of Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. There is a large supermarket along the way. Originally, Lin Qianshu planned to go straight home and have a simple dinner of instant noodles. Now that Yukinoshita has invited him to go back together, he might as well buy dinner on the way back.
Before this, in order to avoid being misunderstood by other people at school, Lin Qianshu took the initiative to separate from Yukinoshita and arranged to meet at the intersection.
This action successfully won Yukino's favor. Although Yukino doesn't care about other people's opinions, she is still happy to do it if she can avoid trouble.
However, Yukinoshita couldn't bring this up herself, since she was the one who invited Lin Qianshu to go back together. If she let Lin Qianshu go first just to avoid misunderstandings with others, it would be too impolite and clearly not in line with Yukinoshita's upright and righteous character.
"I'm...sorry to have kept you waiting."
At the intersection, Yukino Yukinoshita successfully found Lin Qianshu playing on her phone under the traffic light. In order not to keep her waiting too long, Yukinoshita ran over after leaving the school gate.
Despite her outstanding talents in many aspects, Yukinoshita's only weakness is her stamina. The jogging along the way had exhausted a lot of her energy, so she was a little out of breath when talking to Lin Qianshu.
It must be said that, setting aside Yukino's sharp tongue and aloof personality, she is undoubtedly a rare good girl in this day and age. She has excellent grades, good character, outstanding appearance, and a wealthy family background. Even her sharp tongue and aloof personality can be seen as a kind of cuteness in some ways.
After all, what man could resist a beautiful girl who is cold to others but gentle only to you?
Although Yukinoshita has not yet shown her unique gentleness towards Hayashi Chiki, there are already some signs that she will treat him differently.
Please refer to Hachiman Hikigaya for details.
"It's okay, no rush, we'll have to wait for the red light anyway." Lin Qianshu put away her phone and looked at the girl, who was panting from running all the way, and comforted her.
Yukinoshita calmed her rapid breathing, then came to stand beside Lin Qianshu.
"Why did you agree to let Hikigaya join the club today?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked, getting straight to the point.
Lin Qianshu naturally couldn't say it was because Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei gave too much, so he asked in return, "Then why didn't Yukinoshita-san let Hachiman join the club? I remember you also wanted to accept new members yesterday, didn't you?"
Yukino pursed her lips. She did intend to accept new members, but there was a condition: the new members would not cause trouble for the Service Club.
Although Hachiman has some personality issues, that's not the reason Yukinoshita refused to let him join the Service Club. The real reason is that Hachiman was also one of the participants in the car accident, and Yukinoshita felt that if Hayashi Chiki knew about this, the club would definitely become very troublesome.
Therefore, when faced with Lin Qianshu's question, Yukinoshita could only make up a reason and say, "That boy's eyes are evil and lewd, which makes me feel very dangerous."
Hachiman's dead fish eyes do affect the city's appearance, but it hasn't fallen to this extent, has it?
Lin Qianshu knew the real reason why Yukinoshita disagreed with Hikigaya joining the club, and since they would all be in the same club in the future, she simply said directly, "There's also the reason that he risked his life to save the dog, right?"
Upon hearing this, the girl fell silent for a long time before slowly saying, "You knew everything?"
"Well, I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing your reaction, I guessed it was probably true," Lin Qianshu said honestly.
At first, he knew that Hachiman had a problem with that pink-haired girl, but he couldn't prove it because he didn't have any concrete evidence.
It wasn't until Yukinoshita showed obvious rejection towards Hikigaya that Lin Chishu finally confirmed the other party's identity.
"Then why did you agree to let him join the club?" Yukinoshita couldn't help but ask.
“Well, we can’t just turn someone away for that reason, can we? Besides, you can tell that Hachiman is a nice guy, except for his slightly dull eyes. The Service Club is short-handed right now, so having more people means more strength, and it also gives Hiratsuka-sensei some face,” Lin Chishu replied.
In addition, Lin Qianshu added in his mind, "I'll also give the wish points some face."
"I understand." Yukinoshita seemed to have grasped everything.
"What do you understand?" Lin Qianshu asked, puzzled. What was there to understand?
Yukino Yukinoshita let out a long sigh and met Lin Qianshu's gaze, saying, "You're an incurable good-natured person."
"Hey, why are you giving me a 'nice guy' card out of the blue? Who's the nice guy now? I'm just doing my job to avoid wasting anyone's time. I'm doing this for the Service Department. Who's the department head anyway?!" Lin Qianshu grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Of course it's me, Lin Qianshu, who likes to act on her own."
Yukinoshita was very clever and understood that in addition to the reasons he himself had given, there was another reason why Lin Qianshu did this: it was because of her.
Lin Qianshu was showing her through his actions that he truly didn't care about the car accident, so Yukinoshita didn't need to feel guilty about it.
Isn't this kind of behavior considered being a pushover?
In other words, Lin Qianshu was unaware of Yukino Yukinoshita's inner thoughts. If he had known, he would have laughed out loud. He wasn't being magnanimous at all; he was just greedy for that bit of wish power.
Of course, even if Lin Qianshu really knew what Yukinoshita was thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to clear up this misunderstanding.
This misunderstanding is great! This misunderstanding is fantastic!
After clearing up her doubts, Yukinoshita regained her usual composure and began to seriously discuss the Service Club with Hayashi Chiki.
Passing by a burger shop, Lin Qianshu stopped and bought a set meal, and casually asked Yukino if she wanted one.
"No need, I'll cook for myself when I get back." Yukinoshita's cooking skills are quite good, and she takes care of all three meals a day by herself.
"You'll make it yourself? What about your family?"
"I moved out and live alone."
"so smart?"
Yukino looked at Lin Qianshu with a puzzled expression. What was there to brag about?
"Don't you live alone too?" Yukinoshita retorted.
She learned from Ms. Hiratsuka that Lin Qianshu was not a local Japanese, but an international student from neighboring China. If Lin Qianshu did not live alone, his family would definitely not have allowed him to do such an outrageous thing as coming to school limping the day after a car accident.
“That’s different.” Lin Qianshu waved his hand.
"What's the difference?" Yukinoshita frowned. Was the other person trying to make a typical chauvinistic statement that he was a boy and she was a girl?
“You still have parents, but my parents died in a car accident a year ago.”
Chapter 15 should just be renamed the Car Accident Club.
These days, Xue Nai seems out of sorts, no matter what she's doing, giving off a distracted or absent-minded vibe.
Perhaps unsure how to be alone with him, Yukino Yukinoshita never went home with Lin Chishu again after that day after school. She would always walk first, and Lin Chishu would slowly follow behind, keeping up if he could, and not if he couldn't.
Sometimes you can see him when you turn around in the snow, but he disappears when you turn around at the next intersection. Most of the time when you can see him, he is looking down at his phone. He only takes his eyes off the phone screen when crossing the street, which makes people a little worried.
Even if they don't get into a car accident, they'll eventually fall and get injured because they're not watching where they're going, right?
Yukino Yukinoshita felt that Lin Qianshu had not learned his lesson from the car accident at all. She was a little angry but helpless. She couldn't just go up and take his phone and tell him to walk properly and not be distracted when he was walking, could she?
In fact, Yukinoshita's worries were unnecessary. Although Lin Qianshu appeared to be looking at his phone, he was actually training his emotional perception ability. He discovered that even without looking, he could sense the approximate location of the people around him.
With this trait, Lin Qianshu can always avoid crowds at just the right position. As for roadblocks... isn't avoiding them with your peripheral vision a basic skill for people who are always looking down at their phones?
The reason why Lin Qianshu dared to use his ability without worrying about mental energy consumption was simple: the two wish points he had previously obtained had all been used to make wishes that were misused.
As a result, his current mental value, which is already twice that of an ordinary person, has become even more outstanding, reaching a point where he can use it around the clock within a certain range without worrying about consumption. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a human radar.
Here is Lin Qianshu's current panel:
Host: Lin Qianshu
Constitution: 5 (↑-)
Spirit: 12
Ability: Emotion perception
Wish Points: 0
[Note: A physical and mental score of 5 represents the standard score for an average adult male.]
……
Special building, in the Ministry of Service activity room.
Unlike the previously empty classroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka brought in a conference table about 4 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. The three members of the Service Club sat around the table from left to right. On the far left was the club president, Yukino Yukinoshita, who occupied the best window view. About 2 meters to the right, in the middle of the table, was Hayashi Chiki's seat. As for Hachiman, he sat at the far right corner of the table, where the table basically only served as an armrest for him.
Considering that Yukinoshita mainly uses the table as a place to place tea sets and books, and the space she uses is limited, this means that Hayashi Chiki alone occupies most of the tabletop space.
Lin Qianshu is already considering whether to bring his unused monitor and game console over. If possible, he would also like to bring a sofa over, and preferably a small ice bar, since summer is approaching and he wants to drink something cold.
"You might as well move the bed over too," Yukinoshita said irritably after hearing Hayashi Chiki's plan.
"No need for that. Considering space utilization, we can buy a sofa bed." Lin Qianshu felt that he had the mind of an interior designer.
"How about we just change the club's name to the Hedonism Club?"
"Huh? Is this okay? Isn't this the club you founded?"
"Oh, so you've remembered I'm the minister now?"
After several days of casual banter, the atmosphere between Lin Qianshu and Yukinoshita became much more normal, while Hachiman seemed increasingly lonely.
Lin Qianshu and Yukinoshita exchanged a glance, and Lin Qianshu coughed first, saying, "What do you think, Hachiman?"
"Huh? Ah... I, um..." Hachiman's brain was racing. What was going on?
A power struggle within the department? Forced to choose sides?
If he could, Hachiman wouldn't want to offend any of them, but if he absolutely had to offend one...
"Compared to changing the club's name, why hasn't anyone come to request it these past few days? If this continues, it feels like it'll soon turn into a book club."
Hachiman decided to offend both of them, and just as he was bracing himself for their attempts to shift the blame and his sarcastic remarks, he heard a soft knock at the door.
"Please come in."
Yukinoshita clipped the bookmark to her sleeve, looked up at the door, and answered.
"Excuse me for interrupting you."
The voice was female, a bit high-pitched, giving off a tense feeling.
Then a pink-haired girl opened the door a crack and squeezed through the small space. She moved quickly, and as she squeezed in, she closed the door behind her, as if she were a thief and didn't want to be seen, or as if some unknown wild beast was following her.
In short, she's a girl with a strong sense of stealth.
Upon entering, the girl with short pink hair immediately fixed her gaze on Hachiman. After making eye contact with Hachiman, she looked at Lin Chishu beside her, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. Soon, without pausing, she shifted her gaze to Yukinoshita, who was also a woman, but ultimately it returned to Hachiman.
"Is this...is this the Service Club?" the girl asked softly.
Hikigaya looked at Yukino, but the minister didn't seem to want to answer, after all, it was the girl who asked him.
Then he looked at Lin Qianshu, who also had an aloof look on her face. Although she didn't say anything, she gave Hachiman the feeling of a teacher's habit of saying, "Why are you looking at me? Look at the blackboard."
The only difference is that the task of watching the blackboard here has changed to welcoming this newcomer.
"Yes, please sit down first." Hachiman stood up and pulled over a chair, gesturing for the girl to sit down.
"Thank you... Aqi."
It is clear from the conversation that the girl knows Hachiman.
Yukinoshita looked quite surprised. After carefully observing the girl, she resolved her doubts and turned her gaze to Lin Qianshu.
Coincidentally, Lin Qianshu was also looking at her at that moment. This unspoken connection of gazes made Xue Shita's heart race, and the tips of her ears turned slightly pink, but fortunately it was very faint and not noticeable unless you looked closely.
After calming herself down, Yukinoshita read the meaning that Lin Qianshu wanted to convey from his eyes.
He also recognized the girl, the dog's owner.
Now we've really got a full car accident scene together, let's just take this opportunity to rename it the Car Accident Club.
"Ahem, this is Yui Yuigahama, um, she's in the same class as me and Chiki Hayashi. This is Yukino Yukinoshita, the president of the Service Club," Hikigaya introduced, acting as the middleman.
To be honest, this made Hachiman feel a little awkward, as he had never imagined that he would one day be a middleman.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Yukinoshita nodded to Yuihama. After Lin Chishu's previous guidance, she was no longer as resistant to Yuihama as she had been to Hikigaya before.
“Um… I heard from Hiratsuka-sensei that this place can help students fulfill their wishes.”
Chapter 16 The Scientific Basis for "Big Breasts, No Brains" and "Poor Breasts, Extremely Evil"
“Um… I heard from Hiratsuka-sensei that this place can help students fulfill their wishes.”
In Lin Qianshu's line of sight, a gray exclamation mark lit up above Yui Yuigahama's head, which immediately roused Lin Qianshu, who had originally planned to remain on the sidelines.
We have work to do, everyone!
His gaze toward Yui Yuigahama unconsciously became a little warmer, well, just a little warmer.
The amount of effort you put in determines the amount of enthusiasm you receive. Gray-level effort commission = 1 point of effort. Prices are clearly marked and fair to all.
