"Alright then, it seems I'll have to wait until the break between the next classes to come over."
She glanced at the time and said:
"If I remember correctly, the next class is math."
Nan Yun Yuyue hummed in agreement, indicating that she understood.
Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on him:
"I'm pretty good at math. If you need, I can lend you my textbook."
"Uh... no need."
Nan Yun Yu Yue shook her head.
Having experienced the educational system of the University of Tokyo, the difficulty of mathematics in Japan was like child's play to him.
But he didn't say these words directly; instead, he smiled vaguely.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty good at math."
Xiangzi looked at him and said, "Mathematics is actually quite difficult. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."
Looking at her earnest and confident expression, Nan Yunyu thought it was quite cute, so she casually replied:
"it is good."
at this time,
"Dingling bell~~"
The bell rang precisely on time to signal the end of the class.
Hearing the bell, Nan Yun Yu Yue turned to the side, looked at Xiang Zi, and stretched her legs:
"Okay, I feel almost fully recovered now, and I can walk on my own."
As he spoke, he finally freed his hand from Xiangzi's arm, took a small half-step back, and created some distance.
Toyokawa Shoko moved closer and looked down at his bandaged wound, as if to confirm whether he was deliberately putting on a brave face.
"Are you sure there's no problem?" she asked.
"Really." Nan Yun Yuyue nodded seriously. "Thank you for your help."
Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then said apologetically:
"I should apologize to you. I misunderstood you just now, and as a result, you fell and got hurt..."
"I was just... overthinking it."
Nan Yun Yuyue naturally knew what she meant by "overthinking," but he pretended not to know and smiled:
"Xiangzi is indeed a very warm-hearted person."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he was starting to lose his composure.
In the present moment, when speaking to Toyokawa Shoko who is still in the state of a pampered young lady, these words can be considered a compliment.
But if we look at it a year or so later, after she has experienced all sorts of changes, that statement becomes a completely sarcastic and sarcastic remark.
However, Xiangzi clearly didn't think much of it at the moment. Upon hearing this, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he extended his hand, saying:
"Then let's get to know each other formally. My name is Toyokawa Shoko."
Nan Yun Yuyue raised an eyebrow slightly and reached out to shake her hand: "Nan Yun Yuyue."
Toyokawa Shoko's hands were surprisingly soft, with a delicate and smooth texture, like the finest mutton fat jade. A slight warmth emanated from her fingertips, making one want to linger and savor the sensation.
However, before he could continue to savor the moment, Xiangzi had already let go of his hand, withdrawing his palm with his usual impeccable demeanor.
The two didn't say anything more and returned to their classroom one after the other.
It was during recess, and the classroom was noisy as students chatted in small groups, completely unaware of the two who had just returned.
Only Wakaba Mutsumi, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom, suddenly looked up the moment someone entered.
Her gaze fell on Nanon Ugetsu and Toyokawa Shoko.
Nan Yunyuyue's expression remained unchanged. Pretending not to see her gaze, she leisurely walked back to her seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
After settling into his seat, he casually twirled the pen in his hand, then glanced to his left at Wakaba Mutsu, only to find that she had already lowered her head again to read.
"Did you spend the whole break between classes reading?"
Nan Yun Yuyue asked.
Ruoye Mu kept her head down: "I can't water it."
Nan Yun Yuyue nodded: "I see."
Because the break between classes was too short, Ruo Yemu couldn't run to the school greenhouse to water the cucumbers she was growing and then rush back.
She only has time to tend to her plants during periods of ample free time, such as before school, at noon, or after school.
Furthermore, she is recognized by the school as an EX-level concealment expert. In addition, she doesn't talk much and her way of speaking is somewhat disjointed or difficult to understand, so naturally no one takes the initiative to chat with her.
Aside from Toyokawa Shoko, whom she had known since childhood, she had almost no one else to talk to at school.
If it weren't for the fact that he enrolled in the class today, Ruo Yemu probably wouldn't have said more than a few words all day.
Nan Yun Yuyue hesitated for a moment, then pulled up her chair, dragged it to Ruoye Mutsu's table, and sat down decisively.
Ruo Yemu seemed surprised that he would suddenly come closer. He widened his eyes slightly, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but only uttered a few syllables that were not meaningful.
Nan Yun Yuyue, with an expression of utter certainty, said:
"I went to the teaching affairs office just now, but it was closed. I still haven't received my new books. I'll have to borrow your books again for the next class."
Ruo Ye Mu paused for a moment, met his gaze for a brief instant, and without asking any further questions, silently moved aside to make room for Nan Yun Yu Yue to see the contents of the math textbook.
Just then, the crisp sound of the school bell rang at the opportune moment.
The noise in the classroom instantly subsided as the math teacher walked in with his books.
She looked extremely stern, with short, neat hair, and carried a stack of handouts and teaching aids. As soon as she stepped onto the stage, she scanned the entire class with her eyes.
"Turn to page 48 of the textbook."
Nan Yun Yuyue slightly adjusted her posture, her gaze falling on the textbook.
Following her instructions, the classroom filled with the rustling sound of pages turning; no one dared to slack off.
Nan Yun Yuyue slightly raised her eyes, looked around, and confirmed her earlier guess.
This teacher must be very strict, because the entire classroom is eerily quiet right now.
Even students who might normally sneak around doing something naughty put away their extracurricular books or gadgets and pretended to listen attentively.
Of course, there were also those who were truly listening attentively, such as Wakaba Mutsu sitting next to him, who was making small marks in her notebook with a pen.
Nanon Ugetsu's gaze lingered on her for a moment before turning to Toyokawa Shoko in the front row.
She sat upright, her eyes fixed on the blackboard, her hands folded on the desk, and she listened attentively to the lecture.
But Nanon Ugetsu, skilled and daring, continued to drift off into her own thoughts.
It wasn't that he didn't like studying; it was mainly because he originally thought this was the band's worldview, but it turned out to be the dragon worldview, with a bunch of hybrids around him. No one could calm down.
From Wakaba Mutsu's golden eyes to Toyokawa Shoko's "Don't die," there are at least two such people in this class, and both of them seem to be ordinary people.
Shouldn't high-ranking hybrids be raised from a young age and subject to strict family control?
Why is it that this generation of mixed-race people seems to have their identities deliberately hidden?
Could it be that Lu Mingfei's parenting style has become a trend among mixed-race parents, and everyone likes to raise their children in this way?
He recalled information about the Toyokawa Group.
Toyokawa Kiyoko, son-in-law of the Toyokawa Group, and father of Toyokawa Shoko.
In the future, Kiyotaka Toyokawa will be expelled from the family for some reason, ostensibly because of a loss of 168 billion yen in investments.
168 billion yen is indeed an astronomical figure, but for a conglomerate of the Toyokawa Group's size, it is far from enough to cause serious damage.
If it were simply an economic problem, Toyokawa Kiyoko would never have fallen to that point.
There must be a deeper reason behind that...
Nan Yun Yuyue's gaze fell on Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting in front of her.
At this moment, she was still the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, still that proud and confident young girl, still possessing the most abundant resources in the world, and completely unaware of the future changes in her family.
Does she know what her family is hiding?
As Nan Yun Yuyue pondered, she casually turned a page in her textbook and moved closer to Ruo Ye Mu.
Chapter 16 Noon in the Moon Forest
Math class was over, and everything at Tsukimori Girls' Academy was as usual.
Toyokawa Shoko, holding a book in her hand, turned around and looked at Nagumo Ugetsu sitting behind her, somewhat surprised.
She initially thought that Nan Yun Yuyue's statement that she was "good at math" was just a modest way of putting it.
After all, someone who introduces themselves as someone who can play guitar and write novels doesn't seem to be particularly outstanding in science.
But in class just now, the math teacher called on Nan Yun Yuyue several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and even gave her a few tricky math problems, as if he wanted to test the level of the so-called transfer student.
As a result, Nanon Ugetsu walked straight to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and solved the problem in no time.
The whole process went smoothly. Afterwards, he put down the chalk, turned to face the math teacher, and said:
"Probably?"
The math teacher's expression froze slightly; he clearly hadn't expected the transfer student to be so good at math.
She adjusted her glasses, paused for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "Very good."
"This is too fast..."
"I didn't even understand the question, and he's already solved it?"
A murmur of discussion arose from the audience.
Shoko Toyokawa finally believed that Ugetsu Nagumo's claim that he was "good at math" was absolutely true.
------
Math class is over, it's lunchtime.
The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became much more relaxed, much more so than during math class.
The students at Moon Forest mostly bring their own lunchboxes and eat together in twos and threes; very few people eat alone.
Meanwhile, in the back row of the classroom, Ruoye Mu sat alone in her seat as usual, taking out her lunchbox.
She skillfully opened the lid, revealing the food inside arranged neatly.
She didn't actively seek out anyone to eat with, nor did she wait for anyone to come over. Instead, she simply picked up her chopsticks and silently began to eat.
In the past, the only person who would occasionally eat with her was Toyokawa Shoko.
But today, after the bell rang, Xiangzi was pulled away by several other classmates.
Therefore, Wakaba Mutsu continued her usual habit of eating alone.
At that moment, Nanon Ugetsu had just taken a lunchbox out of her schoolbag.
Instead of moving the chair back to his original seat, he moved to sit opposite Wakaba Mutsumi.
Ruo Yemu slightly raised her head and glanced at Nan Yunyuyue.
Without saying a word, Nanon Ugetsu casually placed her bento box on the table, her movements very natural.
Ruoye Mu quietly moved her bento box to the side, making some space on the table so that Nan Yun Yuyue could put hers down as well.
Nan Yun Yuyue smiled, opened her own lunchbox, picked up her chopsticks, and ate with her.
This angle is directly facing Wakaba Mutsu, allowing him to clearly see her face, especially her eyes.
Those eyes were calm as still water, like a undisturbed lake, without the slightest abnormality.
It seemed that the golden eyes that suddenly ignited in the basement that night were just his illusion.
Nan Yun Yuyue paused for a few seconds to make sure Ruo Ye Mu was indeed alright before looking away.
