Am I a bad person? They all want to kill me?

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you today."

After apologizing to Lin Qing'an, Hayato Hayama pulled Miura Yumiko away from the Service Club without saying a word.

"Hayato! Let me go! Let me see how good he is at preaching!"

"Yumiko, stop disturbing others..."

The two people's voices became farther and farther away until they disappeared completely.

After calming down, Lin Qing'an maintained his usual gentle expression, stood up and closed the door of the service department.

These two people left in such a hurry that the door was not even closed for them. He had to close it himself.

After closing the door, Lin Qing'an returned to his seat and said with a smile.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"sharp."

Saki Kawasaki gave Lin Qing'an a thumbs up.

To be honest, she had been annoyed with Miura for a long time. That guy always looked so arrogant, and she didn't know what he was so arrogant about, which made her feel annoyed just looking at him.

Nowadays, Lin Qing'an can make Sanpu so angry with just a few words, it's so refreshing!

"..."

Yukinoshita didn't say anything, but there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

She vaguely felt that Lin Qing'an was doing it on purpose, deliberately poking at Hayato Yeshan's pain points.

This guy seems to be somewhat hostile to Hayato Hayama...

As for where this hostility comes from...

Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly, and her already good mood became even happier.

Of course, no matter how good her mood was, Yukinoshita would not show it on her face. She maintained her usual cold look and spoke in a cold tone.

"Lin Qing'an, have you forgotten who the head of the Service Department is?"

"Haha~"

Lin Qingan smiled and said, "When the director is busy, the members will take over. This is just a small matter, Director Yukinoshita, you can take a rest and let me, a member of the department, handle it."

"Heh~"

Yukinoshita smiled contemptuously and said, "Members are doing the work for you? I think you are just trying to usurp the throne. If you do this a few more times, others will think you are the director."

Lin Qingan said thoughtfully: "Minister Lin? It sounds like he's not bad."

"Humph!"

Yukinoshita snorted coldly and said, "You have a nice idea."

Lin Qingan looked at Xuexia and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, no more jokes, let's talk about the commission just now, what are you going to do next?"

"Didn't the client withdraw his order himself? Then of course it will be as he wishes, as if he had never been here." Yukinoshita said coldly.

If it were in the past, she would have ruthlessly hunted down the mastermind behind this matter if she had heard of such a thing.

But now...

Think about what that bastard Lin Qingan did in the simulated world.

Natural disaster tactics, scorched earth strategy, human sacrifice, extermination of the entire clan, forced conscription of the harem, joining forces with the devil, trampling the world...

Each and every one of these is a debt of blood.

Watching Lin Qing'an make these decisions, her sense of integrity was almost worn away.

Before dealing with Lin Qing'an, the big villain and big devil, she temporarily had no energy to care about other sufferings in the world.

"You really don't care?" Lin Qing'an was a little surprised.

He originally thought that since Xiao Xueno would not tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes, she would definitely intervene.

Yukinoshita opened the book and explained indifferently, "You've already said it. He has already identified the suspect himself. Why should we care?"

"So that's how it is..." Lin Qing'an stroked his chin, the smile between his eyebrows becoming more and more profound.

It turned out that it was because he pointed this out that Yukino didn't bother to care.

Yes, we all know who the suspect is, but we still let the Service Club solve it. This is a bit too much.

Isn't this clearly making the Service Department the bad guys?

Oh, that's not right. Ye Shan didn't intend to catch the murderer, nor did he want them to be the bad guys. He just came to them to find a good idea to solve the problem.

156. "Absolute Territory under the Snow"

Thinking of this, Lin Qing'an's expression couldn't help but become a little subtle.

"Then what..."

At the same time, seeing that Lin Qing'an and Yukinoshita's conversation had come to an end, Kawasaki Saki scratched his head and interrupted.

"Student Lin, who are those suspects you were just about to talk about?"

Although she was not a gossiper, now that the matter was brought to her attention, she couldn't help but ask and find out who had done such a terrible thing.

One is to satisfy one's own curiosity, and the other is to avoid pitfalls, so as not to accidentally interact with such petty-minded guys in the future and be slandered in this way.

"The suspect..."

Lin Qing'an did not answer directly. He changed the subject and asked, "Kawasaki, do you know how many people are in the live-action circle of Ye Shan and Miura?"

"Emm~~"

Kawasaki Saki thought for a moment and said, "There should be seven people. The girls are Miura, Yuigahama, and Ebina. The boys are Hayama and the three boys mentioned in the email just now, Tobe, Ooka, and Yamato."

"So, what happened in the class recently?" Lin Qing'an continued to guide.

"Emm～～" Saki Kawasaki frowned and thought for a long time without any result.

Nothing has happened in the class recently. The seven people in the live streaming circle are still the same as before, talking and laughing as usual, and there is no internal conflict among them. Nothing seems to have happened between other students either.

If there really is something going on, it’s about Lin Qing’an and the transfer student…but what does that have to do with this matter?

Neither Lin Qing'an nor the transfer student had much contact with the pop culture circle.

“Workplace tour.”

Seeing that Kawasaki Saki was lost in thought and silent, Lin Qingan reminded her at the right time.

"Hmm? Hmm?! Hmm..."

Saki Kawasaki was stunned for three full seconds before she roughly figured out the right and wrong of the matter.

"Is it because of the grouping issue?" Saki Kawasaki said with some disbelief.

"Heh~"

Lin Qingan chuckled and said, "They have three girls and four boys, but they are divided into groups of three. So one boy is bound to be excluded, and that person will definitely not be Ye Shan, who is the core of the circle. It can only be one of the other three boys."

"Kawasaki, tell me, if you have finally squeezed into a high-level ecological niche circle, would you be willing to be squeezed out like this?"

Kawasaki Saki frowned and said in confusion, "It's just a workplace visit. If you want to squeeze out, just squeeze out. Isn't it the same to form a team with other people? Besides, why should I force my way into other people's circles? There are so many good things I can do with my time. Why do I have to waste it on these troublesome interpersonal circles?"

Hearing this, Lin Qing'an smiled and said, "So, Kawasaki, you and I, plus Yukinoshita, the three of us are not the same kind of people as those people, and we can't be the same. They take the so-called circle too seriously, and they can't be content without the circle."

"In essence, this is the human nature as a social animal. This behavior itself is not a bad thing. After all, the power of an individual has its limits. After reaching a bottleneck, it is inevitable to rely on the power of the collective to achieve one's goals."

"Their problem is that they take the circle too seriously. If they can't squeeze in, they try to squeeze in. If they can't blend in, they try to blend in. After finally squeezing in, they show their claws and fangs in order to stay in this circle and attack others who are at the bottom of the circle."

At this point, Lin Qingan paused and said, "I'm not opposed to the idea of ​​circles. To some extent, you, me, and Yukinoshita, the three of us are now considered a circle, but..."

"Our circle of three is built on equal relationships. There is no complicated ecological niche. Whether we leave or stay is up to us."

"In my opinion, the circle of the three of us is in line with the concept of 'the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water'. There are no complicated interest relationships or utilitarianism, only pure friendship."

friendship......

Saki Kawasaki's eyes flickered slightly, her thoughts were surging in her heart, and an indescribable thought was floating in it.

"Humph!"

Yukinoshita snorted coldly and said, "Friendship? There is no such thing as pure friendship between you and me."

Lin Qing'an raised his eyebrows slightly.

Factually speaking, what Yukinoshita said was actually correct. After the incident at the hotel, the friendship between him and Yukinoshita was no longer pure, but had shifted towards a more ambiguous and intimate relationship.

Of course, if he is not careful, it may go in a completely opposite direction...

"Bullmaster Yukinoshita, it hurts my heart if you say that."

Facts are facts, and at this stage he still needs to rely on the friendship between the two of them as a springboard to leap into the lover stage.

"Heh~"

Xueshita smiled contemptuously, as if she was too lazy to waste any more words with Lin Qingan.

She picked up the paperback on the table and read it with a cold expression as she did every day.

Seeing this, Lin Qing'an's expression did not change, but he did not disturb Xuexia anymore. He took out his textbook and studied on his own.

Seeing that the two of them finally returned to normal, Saki Kawasaki breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she took out her textbook and also studied on her own.

Not long after, Kawasaki Saki, who encountered difficulties, couldn't help but look at Lin Qing'an.

Just at this moment, Lin Qing'an looked up from the book.

When their eyes met, they both understood each other's meaning.

Lin Qing'an raised his chin slightly and pointed to the empty seat next to him.

Saki Kawasaki no longer hesitated and moved a chair to sit next to Lin Qing'an.

Learning is more important than anything else! She sat on the side, and it was a bit awkward whether Lin Qingan was explaining or she was listening to the lecture. Sitting in a row could effectively improve this problem.

As for whether Minister Yukinoshita would have any opinions...

Minister Yukinoshita is a sensible person, I don't think she would be jealous about something like this...right?

"This question uses this knowledge point, Kawasaki, look..."

After the tutoring began, Yukinoshita gradually found it difficult to concentrate, and she couldn't help but glance at Lin Qing'an's situation out of the corner of her eye.

Looking at the intimate gestures that Lin Qing'an and Kawasaki Saki occasionally showed during their tutoring, Yukinoshita always felt a little blocked in her chest, and a trace of irritation rose in her heart.

As the irritation accumulated, Yukinoshita gradually felt a little hot.

Until one moment, Yukinoshita couldn't help it anymore.

She stretched out her porcelain-like hand and gently placed it on Lin Qing'an's thigh.

"For this question, we need to use the conditions and properties of the hyperbola to find equivalent relationships in the triangle to derive..."

As Lin Qing'an was speaking, he suddenly felt a hand falling on his left thigh. He paused slightly and subconsciously glanced at Xuexia beside him.

When Lin Qing'an saw Yukinoshita holding the book in one hand and reading seriously, his thoughts suddenly changed. He quietly stretched out his left hand and covered Yukinoshita's soft and boneless hand.

"To get the equivalent relationship between a and b, look at the question. This is an isosceles triangle, and the projection of F2 on the line PF1 is its midpoint. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean theorem, we know that..."

Lin Qing'an explained to Kawasaki Saki with a normal expression while stroking Yukinoshita's delicate hands.

Unfortunately, the so-called jade hand was just a poison bait released by Yukinoshita. The moment Lin Qing'an bit the hook, Yukinoshita grabbed Lin Qing'an's broad palm with her backhand, and then used her five fingers to exert force suddenly, embedding her perfectly trimmed nails deeply into Lin Qing'an's flesh.

If it were in the past, Yukinoshita might have really scratched the back of Lin Qingan's hand until it bleeds.

And now...

Lin Qing'an didn't even have to exert any effort. He just relied on the passive defense of his skin to easily defeat Xuexia.

Of course, it will still hurt and the nail marks will still be left, but they will recover after a while.

Yukinoshita grabbed very hard. Lin Qing'an endured it while freeing up his index finger to gently scratch Yukinoshita's palm.

One, two, three, five...
