I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

"I'm not a dead wood."

The girl smiled silently and tucked her windblown hair behind her ears.

Shizuka Hiratsuka said, "You are the top student in the school, you must have confidence in yourself."

"Mr. Hiratsuka, I have confidence in myself, but tutoring is a two-person job. If you don't cooperate, I won't be able to complete your request."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Lin Hezhen with a wry smile and said, "I have a rule as a class teacher. If a student fails an exam, the parents must be invited. In addition to discussing the study, we must also discuss with the parents some things that happened in school. Guardians have the right to know."

Lin Hezhen pondered in silence. He understood what Yukinoshita Yukino felt just now.

This despicable woman.

Once Murakami Maki knew that he had failed the exam and had a fight, she might just stay at his house and not leave. How could he concentrate on his training then?

Should he say that he was doing exercise by boxing, or meditating by sitting in meditation? Or that he was running out every day to avoid her? No matter what he did, it would be extremely troublesome and would easily arouse greater suspicion.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, as long as I pass all the monthly exams next time, it will be fine, right?"

"That's right." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded.

"Since there is no problem on both sides, I will leave him to you, Yukinoshita."

"I accept the commission." The girl said calmly, turning her attention back to the book in her hands.

Having successfully achieved her goal, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked out with a brisk pace.

The footsteps gradually faded away. Lin Hezhen looked at the girl in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She had just ridiculed him as a Kuchiki, and he really didn't feel the slightest bit favorable in his heart. He was willing to stay and let her tutor him purely to complete the task.

Yukinoshita Yukino said in a clear, melodious voice: "Why are you standing there? Find a seat and sit down."

She had put down the hardcover book in her hand, clipped the bookmark between the pages and placed it on the upper left corner of the desk, then picked up Lin Hezhen's test paper and spread it on the table to study it carefully.

Lin Kazuma looked around and found that there were no other seats in the club classroom except the set of desks and chairs that Yukinoshita Yukino was using.

As a last resort, he had to go to the back of the classroom and move a chair.

Chapter 23 Yukino's Tutoring Time

Lin Kazuma put the chair opposite Yukinoshita Yukino, and the two sat opposite each other across the desk, like a job applicant and an interviewer.

Looking directly at the girl from such a close distance, one can more intuitively feel her extremely oppressive beauty. One can only say that looking at her for too long is not good for the heart of a teenager, as it can easily cause arrhythmia.

But Lin Hezhen is a well-informed Yuanying master, so he can take it lightly.

Not only will it not put any pressure on his heart, but it will make him feel happier because of the appreciation of beautiful things. It can be said that the more such pleasant scenery there is, the better.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up at him and said coldly, "Please sit over there."

Lin Hezhen had no choice but to move his chair to her right side, put his left hand on the edge of the desk, and leaned over to look at the test paper. The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened to less than half a meter.

Yukinoshita Yukino moved her chair to the left exaggeratedly, crossed her arms over her chest, and moved her black pearl-like eyes to the far right of her eye sockets.

"Do you really want to get close to me? When your obscene gaze sweeps over my body, I feel my chastity is in danger."

Lin Hezhen’s eyes widened. How could this woman lie with her eyes open?

As a highly respected and pure Yuanying master, would I use my eyes to take advantage of a little girl like you?

"Young man, I advise you to be kind. If your eyes are not working well, go see an ophthalmologist immediately. Don't wrongly accuse a good person for no reason."

Yukinoshita Yukino said disdainfully: "There is no strange male who doesn't have improper thoughts about me after seeing me, and you are no exception, so I didn't wrong you. As for the good guy, you are very popular in school these days, Lin."

"Are you just like those guys who follow the crowd?"

"I only believe in the truth that I have personally learned, and I will not jump to conclusions before that. However, your first impression on me is indeed not good. If you want to change my evaluation of you, it depends on your performance in the future."

"If I say that the truth is not as rumored, I was the original victim, would you believe it?"

"Does it matter whether I believe it or not? You have nothing to do with me." Yukinoshita Yukino said coldly.

"That's right." Lin Hezhen shrugged.

He got up and walked to the back of the classroom, moved a desk and placed it next to Yukinoshita Yukino's desk.

After hesitating for a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke again: "Although someone as right as me will be influenced by others, I will try my best to treat you fairly. If you are indeed wrongly accused, I can testify for you and restore your reputation."

"Thank you." Lin Hezhen didn't expect that this sharp-tongued girl also had a gentle side.

"You're welcome. It's the duty of a strong person to lend a helping hand to the weak and helpless." Yukinoshita Yukino smiled with a compassionate smile like a saint.

Looking at her condescending attitude, the little bit of goodwill that had just risen in Lin Hezhen's heart disappeared in an instant.

He moved the table and placed it side by side with Yukinoshita Yukino's desk, leaving an elbow-wide gap between them.

Yukinoshita Yukino has finished looking through his final exam paper and has come up with a remedial plan based on his losing points.

"Although you failed all the major subjects, the reasons for losing points are different. In Chinese, the most serious points you lost are in reading and writing. From now on, do three reading questions every day and write a composition to me every day."

"Write an essay every day?" Lin Hezhen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. How much time would that waste?

"If you want to pass the next monthly exam, is it necessary to achieve this level, or are you ready to back out now?"

"Ok."

Having already promised Hiratsuka Shizuka, Lin Kazuma certainly would not give up halfway. As long as he could pass all the next monthly exams, he would not have to attend tutoring anymore.

"The next is math and science. I will list the knowledge points and examples based on your lost points. Go back and study on your own first. If you have any questions, ask me tomorrow. Do a set of test papers the day after tomorrow to see the results."

"After that there are English, history and geography. These subjects require a lot of memorization, copying and reciting. Which one do you choose?"

"Recite." Lin Hezhen answered without hesitation.

Compared with the two, copying takes more time, and he doesn't want to waste his time on boring homework.

"Okay, recite 50 words and 5 pages of text every day. The next day I have to recite it. If you can't recite it, copy it 20 times."

Yukinoshita Yukino mercilessly assigned excessive amounts of homework. If any other teacher dared to do this, they would have been complained to the Ministry of Education.

In order to keep up with the trend of quality-oriented education and happy education, high schools in the island country finish school early, there is no evening self-study, and homework is rarely assigned, leaving time for students to participate in club activities.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no involution in the island country's college entrance examination. On the contrary, students who aspire to be admitted to a good university must attend high-intensity cram schools, and the competition is quite fierce.

"You can start memorizing words and texts now. Just read silently without making any sound."

After saying that, Yukinoshita Yukino took out a new notebook and listed the corresponding knowledge points according to the lost points on the test paper.

Lin Hezhen pulled out a chair and sat down, took out an English textbook from his schoolbag, opened the first page and began to recite silently.

He was quite intelligent, so it was not difficult for him to understand and remember this knowledge. Coupled with the meditation skills acquired through years of practice, he could enter a state of high concentration in a very short period of time. He could read ten lines at a glance and remember everything he saw.

Time passed by minute by minute. In the quiet space, there were only the rustling sounds of the pen tip on the paper and the sound of turning pages of the book. The two intertwined together, as if a soft light music was playing in the classroom.

The setting sun shines outside the window, and the sunlight shines in through the window, giving the profiles of the two people a golden hue, as if it were a clip from a Makoto Shinkai movie. You can just take a screenshot and use it as a wallpaper.

"Come on! We will win! Come on! We will win!"

Loud slogans from the sports club came from the playground outside the window.

The sea breeze blowing from Toudou Bay blew up Yukinoshita's flowing black hair.

An indescribable fragrance lingered in Lin Hezhen's nose, reminding him of the valley in the early morning, the dew on the petals, and the sea of ​​flowers blooming all over the mountains.

"What's wrong?" Yukinoshita Yukino noticed his gaze and casually brushed the hair that was blown to her chest by the wind back her head.

"I won't apologize if I'm too cute for you to concentrate on your studies."

"You are too narcissistic."

"You don't object to the fact that I'm cute, do you?"

Of course there is no way to object to this. There is no doubt that Yukinoshita Yukino is a rare and beautiful girl.

However, Lin Hezhen is not someone who would be confused by beauty. In the world of cultivation, he has seen many beauties with different temperaments, such as fairies, witches, and saints.

He said calmly, "I just want to tell you that I have memorized all the words and texts for today."

"So fast? I hope you're not bragging." Yukinoshita Yukino didn't believe it at all.

"Of course I'm not bragging, I really memorized all of them."

"It is important to remember that being perfunctory with me will do you no good."

"Am I just trying to please you? Why don't you just try and find out?"

Hayashi Kazuma handed the textbook to Yukinoshita Yukino, but she didn't take it.

"No need, just memorize it. I know everything about it." Yukinoshita Yukino said confidently.

Lin Hezhen raised her eyebrows. Being the top student in this academic year meant she was very confident. Could it be that she had memorized all the textbooks by heart?

Chapter 24 I Want to Show You Something Good

What happened next confirmed Lin Hezhen's guess. Yukinoshita Yukino knew whether he had recited it correctly without even looking at the textbook.

Lin Hezhen entered a state of concentration and his learning efficiency was amazing. He memorized all 50 words and 5 pages of texts in English, history, and geography word for word.

Yukinoshita Yukino was also quite surprised.

Although she knew that it was impossible for a fool to pass the entrance examination of this school, let alone get into the top three, Lin Hezhen's performance did impress her.

What on earth did this person go through to go from being a top student to being the last one in the class and failing every subject?

"Very good, if you keep up this momentum, you should be able to pass at least these few courses."

She handed over the notebook she had been writing in, which listed in beautiful handwriting the topic of the composition to be written today, the reading questions that needed to be done in the exercise book, and the knowledge points that needed to be mastered in mathematics and science.

"It's almost time. Just do these when you go back today. Tomorrow I will check your learning progress and ask you to do a set of corresponding exercises."

She paused and gave a cruel smile: "If you can't satisfy me, copy it twenty times."

The beautiful girl's tutoring finally ended, and Lin Hezhen fled from the service club.

There's nothing wrong with my body, I'm just a little tired mentally.

His scalp tingled when he thought about having to come here after school for the next twenty days to undergo the devilish training.

After the club activities ended, the students went home in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, and enthusiastically discussing whether to go to KTV or the game hall today, full of youthful atmosphere.

Lin Hezhen mixed in the crowd and walked towards the tram stop.

Arriving at the station, he and Sakurajima Mai met again on the slope dyed red by Akane.

It was a strange thing to meet her at this point.

Because Mai Sakurajima was busy with her acting career, she applied to the school for permission not to join any clubs.

For her, she has won countless acting awards since she was a child. Aren’t these honors better than the trophies she won in some club competition?

Although she has retired now, she doesn't seem to have any plans to join any clubs and is still a member of the Homecoming Club.

But today, she went home at the same time as the rest of the group who had finished their club activities. I really don’t know what she did during this time after school. Could it be that she put on that bunny girl costume again to do some "test"?

He walked up to Mai Sakurajima and stood beside her, but Mai Sakurajima didn't even bother to greet him. She stared at the track, as if she didn't see him.

The two of them had talked about some over-the-top topics before, and it was a bit tense.

Lin Hezhen also felt a little regretful. He wanted to enter the other person's mind even though he hadn't entered the other person's body. No wonder she felt disgusted.

Sure enough, everything must be done in order, step by step.

In order to ease the situation, he took the initiative to ask, "Why are you so late today?"

"I killed some time just to avoid running into you." Mai Sakurajima said half-seriously.

"I apologize for my rash remarks before. I took things for granted and did not consider your feelings at all."

"It's okay. I was a little impulsive before, but I thought about it carefully after I went back. I think the reason you said that is because of your experience." Sakurajima Mai seemed to have calmed down and her tone was gentler.

"My experience?"

"The news about your family, or more precisely your parents, has spread on the school forum. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to expose anyone's scars." Mai Sakurajima sounded a little apologetic.

"It doesn't matter. I've let it go. Birth, aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, long-lasting resentment, not getting what you want, and not being able to let go are the eight sufferings of life. What you cling to is empty."

Lin Hezhen said calmly.

He raised his head, his gaze directed towards the sky, as if he wanted to penetrate countless time and space and reach somewhere infinitely far away.

Mai Sakurajima chewed over his words silently.

She said before that Lin Hezhen didn’t understand her at all, but how could she have ever understood Lin Hezhen?
