Although she boasted to her brother, the girl actually didn't come up with a particularly good plan after the summer vacation. Some ideas were abandoned halfway through implementation. Now she is in deep thought and can't find a direction to move forward.

She gripped her phone tightly, pursed her lips and typed a reply, wanting to see what this Hashima-san was up to.

Horikita Suzune: Why? This is probably my own business, not Hashima-san's.

Hashima Hikaru: It is indeed your own business, but your plan is not completely unrelated to me, so I want to tell you something.

Horikita Suzune: How do you say that?

Hashima Hikaru: I'll explain the specific reasons when we meet. Since you've already told Horikita-senpai your thoughts, he passed on some instructions to me. If you don't want to know, then forget it.

After closing the phone, Hikaru Hashima counted silently in his heart. When he counted to 3, the phone rang again. This time it was not a text message, but a direct call.

"Hey."

"Good afternoon, Horikita-san." Hashima Hikaru answered the phone with a hint of joy in her tone. Although Horikita Suzune was indeed very cold, everyone had weaknesses. As long as he grasped her weakness, it was easy to make her take the initiative.

"Hashima-san, did my brother... say anything to you?"

From the receiver, one could tell the girl's voice was a little anxious. It was her first time calling a member of the opposite sex other than her family.

"Yes, Horikita-senpai and I have discussed your matter, so I plan to meet with you to discuss it in detail. This matter is very important to both you and me."

"Is now okay?"

Horikita Suzune is a person of action. After knowing that her brother had discussed his plan to collect 20 million points with the other party, she was not willing to wait until the next day.

"Now?"

Hashima Hikaru was a little surprised. He had originally planned to meet her after finishing his work in the student union tomorrow, but he didn't expect this guy to be so positive.

"Is there something wrong with Hashima-san?"

"Of course not, but I haven't eaten yet. Why don't you wait until I finish eating?"

"Then I'll come to your dormitory. Tell me the room number."

"..."

Hiss, I did get it right, but it’s a little different from what I expected.

But it’s not a big problem, come on, anyone can come.

"Well, just come over here."

Hashima Hikaru told Horikita Suzune his dormitory room number, then he got up and went to the stove to cook noodles. Because Ichinose Honami had to discuss class cooperation with Ibuki today, he had agreed in advance that he would not come.

Just as the boy put the noodles into the pot and watched the steam rising, there was a knock on the door.

"Hashima-san, I'm here." Horikita Suzune's pleasant voice came through the door.

"coming."

Hashima Hikaru covered the pot and turned to open the door for the other person.

When the door opened, he saw the girl's current appearance clearly. Horikita Suzune was still wearing her school uniform, but her face was slightly red, probably because she moved faster. Her chest was slightly heaving, and it seemed that she was really anxious.

"Please come in, Horikita-san."

"Ok."

The black-haired girl took a deep breath and then walked into Hashima Hikaru's dormitory. It was her first time entering a room with a person of the opposite sex of the same age, so she was a little hesitant.

However, contrary to her initial expectations, Horikita Suzune discovered that Hashima Hikari's room was actually very similar to her own dormitory, with almost no furnishings or extra decorations, and most of the things were the same as when she first moved in.

However, compared to the deserted atmosphere in her room, there was more of a breath of life here. In addition to the many seasonings on the stove, the girl also saw an apron next to the refrigerator, so she judged that the other person should be the type who often cooks in the dormitory.

As she walked in, Horikita Suzune smelled a faint fragrance. This fragrance could not be found on a boy, so it must have been left by someone else.

"Um, Horikita-san, you can sit for a while. I'll come over once I've finished cooking the noodles."

Hashima Hikaru gestured to Horikita Suzune to sit over there at the table. Since they wanted to talk about something, they certainly couldn't talk while standing.

"Ok."

Horikita Suzune nodded slightly, then walked into the other's bedroom. Only then did she realize that the furnishings in Hashima Hikaru's bedroom were still very simple, with almost only the most basic items. Except for the desk full of books, there was almost no extra stuff.

The black-haired girl sat silently in front of the table, waiting for the other party to finish cooking the noodles.

Although she has come into contact with Hashima Hikaru many times, Horikita Suzune actually doesn't know much about him. Apart from knowing that the boy is a very outstanding person and has been recognized by his brother, she is not clear about his various habits.

【But, I don’t think I’m interested in him...】

After the girl finished thinking, she smelled a very fragrant smell coming towards her. After raising her eyes, Horikita Suzune saw Hashima Hikaru walking towards her with two bowls of noodles.

"This is..." The black-haired girl didn't quite understand.

"I don't know if Horikita-san has had dinner yet, but since you're here at this hour, I still have to prepare one for you." Hashima Hikaru placed a smaller portion of noodles in a small bowl in front of the girl.

"I've already had dinner."

"Then eat a little more. Are you going to watch me eat?"

Hashima Hikaru explained with a smile, "This is the custom in my hometown. Guests cannot be allowed to watch the host eat. They must be arranged to eat."

"But..."

"Try it first, take a bite and see how it goes. If it doesn't taste good, you can leave it alone." The young man handed the chopsticks to the other party with an unquestionable attitude.

"Oh well..."

Horikita Suzune knew that she needed help from the other party today, so she couldn't be too disrespectful. After she took the chopsticks, she carefully picked up a bunch of noodles and put them into her mouth.

"How about it?"

"Well enough..."

The black-haired girl stared at the bowl of noodles in front of her. Although it looked ordinary, it tasted quite good. She was a little surprised that the other person's cooking skills were so good.

"Hahaha, that's fine, let's talk after dinner."

Chapter 244 Horikita Suzune: This is a cooperation based on exchange of interests!

At Hashima Hikaru's insistence, even though she had already had dinner, Horikita Suzune still finished the bowl of noodles that was handed to her. After she wiped her mouth gracefully and put the bowl down, the girl looked back at the boy sitting opposite her.

"Have you finished eating, Horikita-san? If not, there's more in the pot."

Hashima Hikaru held the bowl with a faint smile on his face.

"No need, we have something else to discuss after you finish eating."

Horikita Suzune looked at the other person, then picked up her small bowl of noodles and stood up.

"What is Horikita going to do?" Hikaru Hashima was a little confused.

"Since you haven't finished eating yet, I'm going to go wash my dishes first. Remember to hurry up."

Horikita Suzune walked to the sink without looking back. Although she didn't cook much when she was in the dormitory, it was to save time. The girl's cooking skills were actually quite good.

"it is good..."

Looking at Horikita Suzune standing there washing dishes, the boy suddenly smiled. Although this girl did have a bad temper, it was still quite interesting as long as he could find a way to get along with her.

After Horikita Suzune dried her hands, she saw Hashima Hikaru coming over. Hashima Hikaru put the bowl in the sink and said in a melodious voice, "I'll wash it later. After all, Horikita-san is so anxious, let's talk about business first."

"can."

The two sat back at the table. Hashima Hikaru stared at the girl's somewhat nervous expression and took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Well, first of all, regarding Horikita-san's plan, how do you plan to collect 20 million points?"

"this..."

Horikita Suzune was a little embarrassed. She had looked up many ways to earn points during the summer vacation, but since Koukou Ikuei High School was not an ordinary school, using the normal way of making money would not work.

For example, part-time jobs are not allowed here. Even though there are many stores in the Beech Shopping Center, students are prohibited from doing odd jobs to earn points. If your points are cleared, you can only eat the free meal in the cafeteria and are not allowed to use this method to make money.

She also tried to open a cram school to help poor students earn points, but unfortunately, no one in Class C was willing to pay points to study, and no one would respond to the idea proposed by the girl.

"Looks like we're in trouble."

"Anyway," Horikita Suzune put her hand to her mouth and coughed lightly, skipping the topic directly, "Please tell me what my brother said to you, Hashima-san."

"it is good."

Mitsuru Hashima nodded. While he was brewing the answer in his heart, he opened the system's operation panel.

Should I sell my Kushida Kikyo shares?

[Sale successful, quantity sold: 1000 shares, system funds obtained: 180000.]

Should I buy Horikita Suzune stock?

[Purchase successful, Horikita Suzune shares have been cleared.]

[Current remaining funds: 119600.]

After completing the stock operation, the young man smiled and said, "Actually, Horikita-senpai's idea is very simple. He wants our cooperation to continue."

"What cooperation?"

"It's about helping you." Hashima Hikaru's tone was soothing, his eyes were gentle. "Since you said in front of Horikita-senpai that you want to complete the promotion by collecting points, it will take a lot of effort. If you have a companion, maybe they can share the pressure with you."

"I don't need it..." Just as the black-haired girl was about to refuse subconsciously, she was interrupted by Mitsuru Hashima.

"Before you try to refuse, please listen to me first."

"..."

Horikita Suzune bit her lip and looked at the boy opposite her, because the other party had taken out his mobile phone, and the interface displayed on it was a chat box with her brother.

"First of all, I agree to this cooperation on a conditional basis. After all, we are not classmates, so if you want me to help you, Horikita-senpai has already paid you."

"what?!"

The girl's expression changed instantly, and she quickly asked, "What reward did my brother pay you?"

"This matter needs to be kept secret from you for now, but don't get excited, because this is what Horikita-senpai meant. He believes that this reward only exists between him and me, so he can't tell you."

Hashima Hikaru's tone was calm. After seeing Horikita Suzune's emotions fluctuate violently, he continued, "It is precisely because I agreed to this deal that I must help you. Do you understand what I mean?"

"My brother..."

The black-haired girl's mood suddenly became complicated. She thought that the other party would only laugh at her arrogance, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually add a companion for her by paying her?

"Haha, don't be too happy. Horikita-senpai isn't really concerned about you. He's just trying to make sure his ideas are implemented smoothly."

Hikaru Hashima interrupted the other person's thoughts and clicked to play a voice message in the chat interface.

"Hashima-kun, since Suzune has made this ridiculous decision, I have nothing to say. I need you to help her. If she ends up in such a mess, my relationship with her might become known to many people, which would lower my reputation. I hope you can consider it."

"Do you understand? Horikita-san."

"..."

After hearing her brother's indifferent voice, Horikita Suzune once again recalled the encounter shortly after school started. At that time, he wanted her to drop out of school immediately, but the girl still persevered.

If I really want to prove myself to my brother, I must accomplish this!

"I will do it. I will let my brother see my growth. I must successfully collect 20 million points!"

There was a determined light in Horikita Suzune's eyes; she would never give up.

"It's good to have confidence, but let's take it one step at a time." Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Hashima Hikaru smiled and said, "Anyway, you should understand my attitude now. I'm only helping you because I've received payment."

"Whether you like it or not, I will help you collect points. Horikita-senpai has already paid the reward. Do you intend to let him waste it?"

After hearing this, Horikita Suzune fell silent. Although her brother looked down on her, she had to make achievements to prove it, otherwise, wouldn't she be shrouded in this unwillingness and humiliation forever?

"Okay then, I agree to cooperate with you, but please remember that this is a cooperation based on the exchange of interests. You, Hashima-san, have never been friends with me!" the girl said firmly.

"Don't talk too much, I'm still looking forward to being friends with you, but don't be impatient, let me tell you the plan I came up with."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the girl's delicate face with a smile: "I wonder what Horikita-san thinks is the most profitable way to make money in this world?"

Chapter 245 Greed and Points Challenge

"I wonder what Horikita-san thinks is the most profitable way to make money in this world?"

When Hikaru Hashima asked this question, the black-haired girl sitting opposite was visibly stunned. She pondered for a moment before slowly answering, "The fastest ways to make money are probably things that are not allowed, right? Are you trying to use this question to lead to the rest of your question?"

"Indeed, it seems that Horikita-san's thinking is still very clear. This can effectively save us time."

Hashima Hikaru smiled and continued to explain to her.
