"No matter how much you try to look at me, it's useless. I said, my heart is as hard as stone."

Liu Hao turned his head slightly and spoke to the girl beside him in a very low voice, making sure that only she could barely hear him.

Nagasaki Suyo didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little angry. She puffed her cheeks and said, "I didn't."

"There's no best," Liu Hao said. "Look at the blackboard, not me. It's filled with the essence of knowledge passed down by our predecessors. If you can learn even a little bit, your trip today will be worthwhile."

Nagasaki Suyo glanced at the blackboard covered in symbols and said, "I don't understand."

Although Tsukinomori is an aristocratic school, advanced mathematics is still a bit beyond the scope for a Japanese high school student.

However, this did not prevent Liu Hao from casually saying, "At your age, you can't even understand advanced mathematics. Tell me, what are you capable of?"

Nagasaki Suyo retorted, "So you can understand it at my age?"

"I don't understand it, so I'm useless."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo pursed her lips tightly and turned her face towards the wall, barely suppressing the laughter that was about to jump out of her throat.

The girl didn't understand why Liu Hao always showed off his sense of humor with such cold jokes.

The girl didn't understand even more. It was obviously a joke, but she couldn't help laughing every time, and no matter how heavy her mood was, it would become a little lighter.

“I can play bass.”

Nagasaki Suyo's tone was not one of boasting, nor was she trying to make amends for anything. She was simply stating a fact.

Liu Hao said casually: "Then you are great."

“I can also play the double bass.”

"Awesome, Sushi-san."

“So of course I have a musical dream.”

Liu Hao turned his head and saw the girl's beautiful profile. Nagasaki Suye was of course very concerned about Liu Hao's previous questioning of her, but now her eyes were a little wandering, and she didn't even have the courage to look Liu Hao in the eye, and seemed a little guilty.

Liu Hao thought about it, not wanting to expose the girl but also unwilling to play along, so he said, "I also had a dream, to become a doctor in the future."

Nagasaki Suyo blinked and said, "But I don't think you studied medicine, did you?"

“I studied computers.”

"So what about your dream?"

"I told you, I'm a loser."

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo turned his head to the corner. The girl understood what he said and felt a little annoyed. But at the same time, although she tried not to make any sound, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. Why did she laugh at such a tasteless joke?

[Liu Hao, why are you so complicated? Why are you so hard to understand?]

Volume 28: Chapter Chapter Just like friends, the definition of a good person is not narrow either

The whispers between Liu Hao and Nagasaki Suyo were solid evidence of their flirting in the eyes of their roommates, especially when they occasionally saw the rich expressions on Nagasaki Suyo's face. Sometimes she was very serious, and sometimes she smiled unconsciously, a smile that was completely different from the politeness when she greeted people. Zheng Ke and Zhang Pan had already planned how to torture Liu Hao when they got to the dormitory, using pepper spray, tiger bench, ticklers... A man of insight would be a hero, and they would definitely pry the secret of this traitor out.

However, Liu Hao did not give his roommate such an opportunity, or rather, he took the initiative to give him another opportunity.

When the advanced math class was over, Liu Hao handed his meal card to Zheng Ke and said, "I have to go to the student union to help out later. Can you take Changqi to the cafeteria for dinner? And take care of her while you're there. You can also show her around our school."

"Don't worry, just leave this matter to us."

Zheng Ke patted his chest. Just when he was trying to figure out what secret Liu Hao was hiding, this guy handed the key to them. As for the language barrier problem, there must be a solution with the current advanced technology.

"No, I want to follow you."

Nagasaki Sushi stood behind Liu Hao, her clear blue eyes filled with determination.

Liu Hao said unhappily, "Don't mess around. I'm going to help with something. I'll come find you after I'm done."

"No."

"You go eat first."

"No, I said, unless you agree to let me meet Xiaoxiang, I will follow you all the time."

"Okay, okay, then just follow me."

As soon as Liu Hao turned around, Zheng Ke put the meal card back in his hand. The three buddies looked at Liu Hao with contempt, turned around and left without any reluctance.

They could understand what Liu Hao said, but they could only understand words like "da-me" in Nagasaki Suye's Japanese. However, they could also understand the meaning from her expression and body language. It was so disgusting. They had to eat this kind of dog food after the advanced math class. It was so disgusting!

"..."

Liu Hao knew that he had been deeply misunderstood by his roommates, but it didn't matter. After a few days, they would understand that their roommate Liu Hao was still the good comrade who worked hard to live and didn't get close to women.

"sorry."

Nagasaki Suyo, who was following behind Liu Hao, suddenly apologized without any reason.

Liu Hao suddenly understood why she apologized, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really a tangled person. If you threaten me with this kind of thing, you should have created this misunderstanding to upset me. Now you're taking the initiative to apologize. So are you still threatening me or not?"

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo was speechless for a moment. She raised her head slightly, feeling the dazzling spring sunlight. She stretched out her hand to cover her delicate brows and murmured, "Maybe I'm just like that. I'm always struggling, so I can't do my best."

"It's right to be entangled. How can I not be entangled when a good person is forced to do something against his will?"

"Am I still a good person..."

"You haven't done anything harmful. You're just like a friend. The definition of a good person isn't that narrow."

"Is this so..."

Nagasaki Suyo walked quietly beside Liu Hao. Her lips were clearly defined and had a beautiful curve. She was a beautiful girl in the sun, with fluffy bangs covering her fair forehead. She was full of thoughts.

Liu Hao didn't say anything else. In a sense, Nagasaki Suyo was right. Being unreasonable was the privilege of beautiful girls. Liu Hao was a good person overall. However, if Nagasaki Suyo was not so gentle and beautiful, but a little ugly, he himself could not guarantee that he would still have such patience.

In addition, Su Shi is only fifteen years old. The troubles of youth are a big deal for a girl of this age, so Liu Hao has never been angry about her behavior, and even feels a little sorry for her. After all, Liu Hao is not going to argue with a high school girl.

The two walked against the crowd and arrived at the building of the School of Computer Science.

As one of the grassroots members of the college student union, Liu Hao has been helping with moving and doing odd jobs in the college student union's activity room during lunch time recently, and the same was true today at noon.

Of course, the difference is that Nagasaki Suyo's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the student union members. If it were just boys, it would be okay. Even if they saw a beautiful girl, the shy nature of engineering boys would only allow them to say a few words at most.

The few female senior students in Key Academy were basically in the student union. They immediately surrounded Nagasaki Suyo and started chattering excitedly.

"Wow, are you a Japanese student here for a visit?"

"Is this the Binjiang Foreign Language High School?"

"Shigasaki-san is so cute! Did you dye your hair? What a beautiful color."

As for the language barrier, it is not a big problem in the technological age. You can almost communicate by finding a translation app.

Nagasaki Suyo was not at all embarrassed by such a scene, and even seemed to be at ease. She had a gentle and polite smile on her face, and her voice was sweet and pleasant. No matter who talked to her, Suyo could respond appropriately, making people feel warm and welcoming, which made her even more popular.

It has become Nagasaki Suyo's instinct to observe people's words and expressions, and then integrate herself into the atmosphere, making herself seem like a part of everyone for a while. Everyone's warm greetings to her, and the milk tea and snacks that they kept handing her all showed that the girl's behavior was very successful.

However, Nagasaki Suyo's gaze often passed over the crowd who were talking excitedly with her and was cast on the tall and thin figure, watching him moving various furniture in and out, either alone or with others, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt, so that his face was also stained with dust. He didn't seem to care and just finished the work in his hands first.

Occasionally, their eyes met, and what Nagasaki Suye saw was a pair of clear and deep black eyes, as if they could absorb the depth of all the starlight, and a faint smile that was teasing yet sincere.

So, am I really overthinking it?

The bright midday sun still cast tiny rays of light through the mottled branches and leaves. Liu Hao sat on the flower bed outside the Computer School building with a lunch box in his hand, fiddling with the potatoes and a small amount of chicken in the meat dish with his chopsticks. He felt sad that even the lunch box ordered in the name of a teacher was shaking like this. Canteen auntie, I have wronged you. You are the truly impartial people. The educational funds of Binjiang University are protected by you.

Liu Hao spread the sauce of the curry chicken into the rice, lowered his head and started eating. After working, this kind of spice was quite appetite-stimulating.

Just as he frowned slightly and tried hard to swallow a mouthful of dry and hard rice, a bottle of drink was handed to him.

"Thank you."

Liu Hao took it and raised his head, but saw a beautiful and warm face. Nagasaki Suyo was slightly bent over with a faint smile on her face.

"Hey, why did you come out?"

Volume 29: Chapter Chapter Don't move, I'm helping you wipe your face

"Of course I came out to find you."

Nagasaki Suyo lifted her skirt and sat down next to Liu Hao on the flower bed, supporting her chin with one hand. She watched Liu Hao unscrew the bottle cap, drink half of the bottle in one breath, and then continue eating.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Well, everyone is very enthusiastic. I can't eat anymore, but they still give me food."

"This is the value of a nation of etiquette," Liu Hao said casually, "but I thought they would take you on a tour of our Computer Science building or escort you out."

"That's what they planned, but I refused."

"Why refuse?"

"I don't like them."

Nagasaki Suyo's voice was very flat, completely lacking the sweet and sticky voice from before. Perhaps it was because she had exposed her true voice many times in front of Liu Hao, so she simply didn't pay much attention to it.

"Ah?" Liu Hao said in surprise, "Those guys might be a bit nerdy, and some of them are a bit bureaucratic, but they're not bad people. They wouldn't do anything out of line, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo folded her hands, her slender white fingers intertwined. She pursed her lips and said, "You're always asking me questions, but you're so comfortable leaving everything to you. This kind of person is really too much."

"Not really. They're just curious and want to join in the fun. They usually help with the work as well."

Liu Hao defended them and then couldn't help but add a sentence.

“Though some people do enjoy being lazy.”

After a pause, he couldn't help but complain.

"Some people like to order others to do things, while they themselves just pretend to lend a hand."

"There's no planning at all. The broken table has been moved back and forth five times."

"So they wanted to get free labor. If I hadn't protested, they wouldn't even provide me with lunch."

"What a makeshift group."

Nagasaki Suyo blinked and asked, "Then why do you still do it?"

"Who made me impulsively join the college student union when the club was recruiting? It was my own decision, and I had to persevere even with tears in my eyes before I quit in my sophomore year." Liu Hao's tone was very light-hearted, and he added jokingly, "Besides, it was just a makeshift group to begin with. Even the name of a student union is useless. To be honest, I'm not that good either. I don't go to at least half of the activities organized by the student union, and they force me to do the work."

"No one is perfect, and it's normal to have conflicts. Don't make a big deal out of it. If you like someone, stay. If you don't like someone, quit when the time comes. It's a simple thing."

"Is it that easy?" Nagasaki Suyo raised her head slightly, her smooth hair brushing against her frosty neck. She murmured, "Because you haven't found a home here, you can so easily say you're quitting. If everyone else were good people and you were happy together, would you still be so relaxed?"

"No." Liu Hao said, "But I will graduate sooner or later. Everyone will graduate."

"That's an understatement, really."

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly fell into an awkward silence, with only the rustling of the wind through the leaves and the sound of Liu Hao chewing and swallowing. Nagasaki Su Shi lowered her head, and her pink and white fingers stirred, exposing the blue veins on her skin. Liu Hao ate his lunch box silently. Of course he could understand what Su Shi meant, or he had guessed it a long time ago. The more persistent the girl was, it showed how important the beautiful past was in her heart.

Liu Hao could actually say something like look forward and there is no turning back in life. The girl thought that she could downplay it and use her own experience as an example. Instead of saying "my pain is greater than yours", it would still be convincing. However, Liu Hao remained silent.

Xiangzi himself decided to look forward, and Liu Hao could certainly help him, but Nagasaki Suyo was still obsessed with the past. Everyone has their own weak spots, and it is quite arrogant to casually comment and criticize others' attitude towards the past. Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.

"The crabapple blossoms are blooming."

Liu Hao suddenly said something out of the blue.

Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously raised her head and saw the direction of Liu Hao's finger. There were pink and white flowers blooming in the wind in the bushes over there.

"The flowers are blooming beautifully. I hadn't started school this time last year, but I imagine they must have been just as beautiful the last time they bloomed."

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned for a moment. She was very sensitive and understood what Liu Hao meant. She murmured, "Yes, they must have bloomed beautifully last year."

“It’s a beautiful thing after all.”

"Thank you."

Nagasaki Suyo said softly that she really needed recognition from someone like Liu Hao for the beautiful past in her memory.

"No thanks. If you really want to thank me, you should go back to your world now."

"No, you haven't agreed to let me meet Xiaoxiang yet."

"Then you'd better give up that idea. I just want to monopolize Toyokawa Shoko's teeth, hehehe..."

If it were before, Nagasaki Suyo might have understood that Liu Hao had finally exposed his true face, but now, hearing him say such words in a sticky tone, she actually felt a little relieved.

Nagasaki Suyo turned his head and watched Liu Hao eat the food in the lunch box cleanly. There were not only fine beads of sweat on his face, but also dust from previous labor. The mixture created several black marks on his angular cheeks, as if he was a little cat with a dirty face.

It could be a momentary impulse, or it could be due to some other reason.

Nagasaki Suyo took out a tissue from her bag, leaned her shoulder against Liu Hao's strong arm, and gently reached out her hand to wipe the stains off his face.
