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

She didn't suspect Lin Qing'an of lying, she was just a little surprised.

Because this guy doesn't look like someone who studies hard, I didn't expect his grades to be so good.

"Don't believe it?"

Lin Qing'an took out his cell phone, took out the photo of his report card and showed it to Saki Kawasaki.

After looking at those photos, Saki Kawasaki's eyes changed slightly, as if she was meeting Lin Qing'an for the first time.

To be honest, Lin Qing'an's grades are a bit too good.

Sobu High School is a school with a higher deviation value, and the difficulty of the test questions in each exam is also relatively high.

Under such circumstances, Lin Qing'an's scores in all subjects were close to full marks, which was a little beyond her expectations.

Thinking about her own achievements, Saki Kawasaki suddenly felt complicated.

Is the gap between people really that big?

She had obviously been studying very hard, but the result...

"Kawasaki-san, if you choose to join the Service Club, I can tutor you for free."

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Qing'an released the bait he had prepared in advance.

"Eh?"

Kawasaki Saki looked at Lin Qingan blankly.

Lin Qingan leaned forward slightly, "Kawasaki, what kind of tutoring class are you taking? One-on-one? One-to-many? Or classroom teaching?"

Saki Kawasaki bit her lip, avoided Lin Qing'an's gaze, and replied in a low voice.

“…It’s classroom teaching.”

"So how do you feel about the teaching quality? Can you keep up?"

"The quality is... okay. I can keep up with it most of the time."

"Oh, so that means there are still times when you can't keep up?"

"..."

Saki Kawasaki remained silent.

Lin Qing'an didn't ask any more questions. He looked at Saki Kawasaki and said gently.

"I may not be as good as the teachers in those tutoring classes in terms of teaching ability, but they have many students, while I only have you. In a one-on-one situation, I am still confident that I can significantly improve your grades."

"..."

Saki Kawasaki's index finger trembled and her expression was extremely unnatural.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that what Lin Qing'an said was a little ambiguous...

"How about it? Do you want to try it?" Lin Qing'an asked softly.

"Hu~~"

Saki Kawasaki took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind, and pointed out the issues that she cared about one by one.

"Lin, since the Servant Club is recruiting, why are you here? I remember that the head of the Servant Club is Yukinoshita, right?"

"Also, why is the Service Club short of people? Wasn't everything fine when Yukinoshita-san was alone? Why is it short of people after you joined?"

In response to Saki Kawasaki's questions, Lin Qing'an explained patiently.

"Kawasaki-san, I want to correct you on one point. It's not that there was a shortage of people after I joined, but it was because of the shortage that I was invited by Minister Yukinoshita to join the Servant Club."

"According to Minister Yukinoshita herself, someone in the school told Mr. Hiratsuka that it was unfair for her to set up a one-person club, so Mr. Hiratsuka ordered Minister Yukinoshita to upgrade the club to the level of a "fan club" within a month."

"That means, including Minister Yukinoshita, there must be three people in the club."

"After that, Minister Yukinoshita invited me to join the Service Club."

"After me, Minister Yukinoshita has been slow to find a suitable third person. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, I thought about it and decided to take on this task as the first practical thing I will do after joining the Service Club."

That’s how it turns out…

Saki Kawasaki looked at the table, thoughtfully.

After a moment, she suddenly looked up at Lin Qing'an.

"I already understand what happened, but... there are so many people who haven't joined the club, why did you come to me?"

"You're talking about this, of course it's because... Kawasaki-san and I are more familiar with you~"

"what?!"

familiar?

Saki Kawasaki looked at Lin Qing'an in confusion.

Can we be considered familiar with each other just by talking to each other occasionally? This guy's definition of familiarity is really weird.

Looking at Saki Kawasaki's reaction, Lin Qing'an spread his hands and explained helplessly.

"Familiarity is something that can be gained through comparison. Compared to other students at Sobu High School, you and I are relatively familiar with each other, Kawasaki-san."

"..." Saki Kawasaki's eyelids twitched, and she found that it seemed to be true.

The guy in front of her always kept to himself in school and had no friends. He would only occasionally chat with her who was sitting in the front seat.

Comparing it this way, I really feel more familiar with her.

Thinking of this, two unclear colors gradually appeared in Saki Kawasaki's blue eyes.

Noticing the change in Saki Kawasaki's eyes, Lin Qing'an leaned forward and struck while the iron was hot.

"I have answered all your questions. Do you want to try to join the service club?"

Saki Kawasaki avoided Lin Qing'an's gaze and said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Student Lin, how long can the free tutoring you mentioned be provided?"

“Until graduation.”

Kawasaki Saki's index finger trembled, and she couldn't help but ask, "Student Lin, don't you think the price you paid is a bit too high?"

"That's okay. Tutoring you is like reviewing myself. It's like killing two birds with one stone. Besides..."

Lin Qingan looked at Kawasaki Saki and said with a smile: "Classmate Kawasaki, you are also a rare beauty. Maybe it would be pleasant to tutor a beauty like you?"

"what?!"

Saki Kawasaki's eyes were flustered, her ears were red, and she leaned back unconsciously.

111. "Welcome to the Ministry"

"Haha~ Just kidding."

Lin Qing'an smiled and gently extended his hand, "Then, Kawasaki-san, welcome to join the service club."

Looking at Lin Qing'an's slender fingers with distinct joints, Kawasaki Saki was obviously a little dazed.

She subconsciously wanted to reach out and shake it, but halfway through, she realized what it meant.

Her index finger trembled and her eyes looked unnatural.

"You can join... but if your tutoring is useless, I will quit."

"It's natural."

After receiving a positive answer, Kawasaki Saki felt a little relieved. She slowly stretched out her hand and gently shook hands with Lin Qing'an.

The momentary skin contact made the pinkness on Saki Kawasaki's ears more noticeable.

At the moment of shaking hands, she thought of one thing. Even this kind of insignificant physical contact seemed to be something she rarely had...

Before this, she was like an insulator from the opposite sex. Not to mention physical contact, she barely even spoke a few words.

When was the last time she shook hands with a boy? She vaguely remembered that it was in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school, when her class was rehearsing a dance program, and she shook hands with her male partner...

Ah~ Such distant memories...

“Knock--knock---”

Lin Qing'an noticed that Kawasaki Saki's thoughts seemed to drift away, so he tapped the table twice with his fingertips to draw Kawasaki Saki's attention back.

"Kawasaki-san, since you've agreed, I won't disturb you from your work. By the way, tomorrow... oh no, it's already past twelve o'clock, it should be today. Do you have time this afternoon? I want to take you to meet Director Yukinoshita."

"This afternoon..."

Kawasaki Saki calculated the time and said, "I need to rest after my night shift. I may not get up until two or three in the afternoon."

"That's it..."

Lin Qing'an thought about it, took out his phone, and said, "Classmate Kawasaki, let's add each other's contact information. When you wake up this afternoon, send me a message and I will arrange the follow-up matters."

"Hmm..." Saki Kawasaki nodded with a vague look in her eyes.

After a while, the addition was successful.

Looking at the contact in the phone with the note "Lin Qing'an", Saki Kawasaki's eyes became more and more vague.

Come to think of it, this seemed to be the first classmate she added.

No, not as if, but the first one...

"Kawasaki-san, I won't bother you anymore."

Lin Qing'an took out his wallet, took out the money for the wine and put it on the table.

Because he didn't know the price, Lin Qing'an simply took out a Fukuzawa Yukichi note (10000 yen).

No matter how expensive the alcohol here is, two glasses of wine can't be more than 10,000 yen, right?

"See you this afternoon, Kawasaki-san."

Before leaving, Lin Qing'an raised his glass and drank his "Sea Breeze" in one gulp.

It was not until Lin Qing'an got up and left that Kawasaki Saki came to her senses belatedly.

Looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi on the table, Kawasaki Saki was slightly stunned, then grabbed the money and stood up.

She wanted to stop Lin Qing'an and tell him that he had given too much money, and that the two cocktails only cost 4200 yen.

But when she turned around, she found that Lin Qing'an had left the bar and walked into the elevator.

Saki Kawasaki pursed her lips and silently put the money away.

I will give the remaining change back to Lin Qingan when I see him this afternoon...

Thinking of this, Saki Kawasaki couldn't help but look at the "Blue Hawaii" on the table.

Speaking of which, since Lin Qing'an has already paid the bill, does she want to taste the wine?

Saki Kawasaki stood there, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dare to overstep the line.

..............

After leaving the "Angel's Ladder", Lin Qing'an strolled happily on the street.

Since Saki Kawasaki has already succeeded, he doesn't need to look for Yuigahama Yui and Isshi Iroha afterwards.

To be honest, among the three candidates he has shortlisted, he most hopes that Saki Kawasaki will join.

After all, this person has a rather cold personality and relatively weak social skills, which clashes slightly with Yukinoshita's personality, so it is basically impossible for the two of them to have a close relationship.

Naturally, it would not affect his plans for Yukinoshita.

Yuigahama Yui's personality is quite complementary to Yukinoshita's. If he creates an opportunity for these two people, they will most likely become extremely close best friends, just like in the original work.

The game of besties is fun when you play with it, but it can be a little bit of a hindrance at certain times.

As for Isshiki Caiyu, that was simply a matter of personality. This junior sister was a little scheming, but not much. He couldn't predict what would happen if he invited her into the Service Club, and it was difficult to control.
