Daily life in Zongman: There's something wrong with their eyes

"Nino, Miku, Ichika, Yotsuba, are you all full?"

"Ah."

In response to his purely embarrassing nonsense, Miku responded softly and considerately.

However, Nino stroked Jingying's ears with her index and middle fingers, and was quite puzzled by his nonsensical behavior.

"Did I hear you wrong, or is your mind confused? What exactly do you want to say?"

"I've already answered your question a while ago, and can't you see that Miku and I are cleaning up?"

Shirakawa Shiki also knew that he had said something stupid, so he smiled indifferently, ignored her question and changed the subject.

"Now that you've eaten, let's get ready to start studying today."

"It's getting late. We mustn't waste precious time."

Who knew that he would make a mistake this time.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became silent, and an unbearable and oppressive silence spread.

Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba all looked at Shirakawa Shiki and then at Ichika at the same time.

Miku looked a little nervous, but Nino frowned and her eyes turned cold.

"Shirakawa-kun, are you covering for Ichika?"

Chapter 304: Give You a Little Punishment

have to...

I stopped calling you "you" and just called you "Shirakawa-kun".

The name was addressed in a familiar way, but he could feel the cold gaze directed at him, but Shirakawa Shiki couldn't sense any of Nino's affection for him.

Although he had something in mind, Shirakawa Shiki smiled calmly without blushing or getting nervous.

"That's not true. You all don't know that exams and tests in our academy are also held about once a month, sometimes even earlier."

"There's not much time left until the next test. How about putting Ichika's issue aside for now? If she doesn't want to talk, don't force her for now."

"喴......"

Nino was obviously very dissatisfied with his explanation and couldn't help but sob.

Her beautiful blue eyes frequently wandered between Ichika and Shirakawa Shiki, revealing undisguised suspicion.

She couldn't help but think wildly, after all, Ichika's style of doing things was often casual, and Shirakawa Shiki often had physical contact and interaction with Ichika.

They acted so intimately right under their noses.

Not to mention that when they were not looking, the two of them secretly did some shameful things.

Interrupting her own thoughts, Nino raised her cheeks and moved closer to Ichika.

"But what if I must know now?"

"If something can be explained clearly in one sentence, what can't be said?"

"Uh...it's really hard to say."

Ichika looked a little embarrassed. She scratched her fair little face and didn't dare to look into the eyes of Nino and the others.

After hearing Ichika's explanation, Nino's suspicious expression deepened and she stared at the other person.

"Is there anything we five sisters can't talk about?"

"Why hide it? It's easy to cause us to misunderstand it."

"Anyway, I can't tell you."

"If you don't tell me today, you're not allowed to leave!"

However, Shirakawa Shiki's nonchalant words silenced Nino's words.

"Do you think forcing Ichika like this will be effective, Nino?"

"It's useless. If Ichika doesn't want to talk, no one can force her. She has a mouth on her body."

The somewhat aggressive expression on Nino's delicate face froze, but she didn't know how to refute.

She had originally asked because she had some doubts, but now she was too embarrassed to do so and had to find a way out, feeling like she was in a difficult situation.

Of course, Nino immediately thought of something.

"I asked Dad to go talk to Yihua. I don't believe that you won't tell Yihua."

Ichika's face turned anxious, but before she could speak, Miku was already a little unhappy, and the expression on her cute face was indescribable.

"Nino, you're going a bit too far. If Ichika doesn't want to say anything, forget it this time."

Nino sneered when she heard that, and pointed at Ichika's stiff expression.

"I went too far? Then what do you think we should do, Miku?"

Miku glanced at Shirakawa Shiki, hesitated, lowered her head and spoke softly.

"I...I don't know."

"Since you don't know, Miku, let me tell you."

Nino rolled her eyes at Miku, signaling her not to act as a spy.

"Then Ichika, let's play a game."

Although Yihua's expression was a little ugly, she still smiled.

"What game? But I don't feel like playing games right now."

"Let's gamble. After all, I heard Shirakawa-kun say that he had a bet with someone else."

"Then let's make a bet this way."

"That sounds interesting. Can I know what Nino wants to bet with me?"

Yihua looked calm on the surface, but her heart was in a mess at the moment.

It was originally just a casual chat, but due to my unintentional words and Nino's seriousness, it evolved into the current situation.

I really miscalculated...

Nino suddenly came up with this idea while speaking her mind.

After hearing Yihua's agreement, she didn't know what to do. She crossed her arms and pondered.

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, I don't know what to bet on."

As she said this, Nino's eyes moved to Shirakawa Shiki, her expression somewhat subtle.

"So, you, what suggestions do you have?"

Mijiu also lowered her head with a complicated expression, occasionally looking up to secretly observe his reaction.

Shirakawa Shiki understood what they meant instantly.

He knew that Nino Miku and the others might want to see if he would continue to favor Ichika.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and Shirakawa Shiki looked at the inexplicably different expressions of Nino and Miku, and smiled faintly.

"I've thought of a way that neither of you will have any complaints. Are you willing to agree to it?"

In response to his tentative suggestion, Nino's face showed no emotion and she said it indifferently.

"Let me just listen to you. Go ahead."

Shirakawa's eyes fell on Ichika, and he stroked his chin.

"Other aspects may be a little unfair, but considering your starting point and difficulty, academic performance is the fairest thing to do."

"As long as Ichika can pass the exam this time, then it's up to her."

"But if you fail, Ichika must tell Nino Miku and the others about your own affairs."

He took a middle approach so as not to appear to be partial to anyone.

"Ichika, what do you think?"

Thinking of Ichika's achievements, Nino smiled for a moment and gave Shirakawa Shiki a reproachful look, saying, "You better know what's best for you."

In Nino's opinion, Ichika's results can be described as terrible.

It was obvious that this guy was favoring her this time.

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Yihua agreed without hesitation, not because she was confident in her academic performance.

Instead, just get through this hurdle first and then talk about it later, and practice the strategy of procrastination.

"Well, that's settled then."

The topic ended here, and Miku and Nino quickly cleared the dining table and cleaned it with a rag.

Including Shirakawa-shi, the group of five sat around the tea table in the living room, brought their books and pens to the table, and prepared to start their own studies.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and May walked over slowly with a smile on her face, holding a cup of brewed tea.

However, what puzzled Shirakawa was...

Why did he feel that the way this girl looked at him was a little strange, as if she had some malicious intentions like a little devil.

While he was still thinking, May had already brought the tea to him.

"Shirakawa-kun, please enjoy it slowly. It's best to drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you."

Shirakawa took it subconsciously and thanked her, then glanced at her casually.

Noticing that May's eyes moved slightly as he took the teacup, and that her feet did not move at all, his suspicion deepened.

Gently blowing on the rising hot air, Shirakawa Shiki suddenly asked.

"May, why don't you return to your seat?"

Noticing Baichuan's reminder, May smiled suddenly.

"Yes, yes, I'll go back now."

Shirakawa Shiki patted her little hands, and when she turned around and looked at him in surprise, he smiled and said.

"May, I have a feeling that you were thinking about something bad just now."

"Eh?!!"

May couldn't help but be startled and stopped walking. The smile on her face suddenly became a little stiff.

"No way, how could Shirakawa-kun think of me like that?"

"Is it."

Shirakawa Shi smiled, glanced at the serious girl who never lied, and said with amusement.

"But you seem quite concerned about the way I drink this cup of tea."

"That's because I care about you, and I brewed it carefully, woo."

Unfortunately, even though May was standing in front of him, she was pouting and looking adorable.

Shirakawa Shiki still wasn't fooled, but his smile became even more intense.

"How about I trade a drink with you?"

"not so good."

Shirakawa Shiki felt a little ashamed. He looked at May who refused to give in even if he was beaten to death, and finally couldn't help but flicked her fair forehead.

"May, what did you put in your tea?"

"ah!"

May, who was hit on the forehead, covered her head with tears in her eyes, and muttered softly while slightly opening her pink lips.

"I didn't put anything in there, you're talking nonsense."

Her tone was weak, and she sounded quite guilty.

After hearing this, Miku and the others also realized that something was wrong.
