Chương 44: Suddenly, I was confessed to by a hot and beautiful girl!

"What the hell is this study group? I never said I wanted to participate."

After Kikyo Kushida left, Yosei turned his head and looked at Suzune beside him with annoyance.

A cold, aloof goddess, a scheming, busty woman, and a trio of academic failures—Yang Cheng could easily guess that this so-called study group was bound to be a chaotic mess.

"You said it last night, didn't you? Everyone has flaws, and everyone has value."

So I thought about it all night and realized you're right. It's like how Sudo's academic performance is at the bottom of the class, but his athletic ability is quite good.

Surely the special entrance exams for higher education institutions aren't just limited to academic assessments?

In other words, Sudo might be able to provide some help to Class D in future assessments.

As for Ike and Yamauchi, I don't see any other strengths in them at the moment, but herding one sheep is the same as herding a flock, so maybe they'll come in handy in the future?

Hearing Lingyin's earnest explanation, Yang Cheng sighed. He felt that he had probably given her too much chicken soup last night.

"In that case, you can ask Ayanokouji-kun for help. I think he would be more than happy to help."

"Of course I'll invite Ayanokouji to join us, but as you know, I'm not very good at interacting with people."

Especially Kushida-san, I don't know why, she always gives me a very unnatural feeling, so I need your help since we're close.

Is he close to Kikyo Kushida?

The other person was clearly trying to provoke him!

"In short, I won't participate in the so-called study group because I have other things to do."

And I reckon this study group of yours will eventually fall apart on bad terms.

Horikita Suzune is proud and arrogant, and also has a sharp tongue.

Kushida Kikyo exudes the aroma of green tea, and her matchmaking for the study group has ulterior motives.

Brother Lu is too low-key and doesn't want to show off in front of others, so he'll probably pretend to be an ordinary passerby again.

Sudo has a fiery temper, and it's inevitable that he would explode on the spot when faced with Suzune's sharp tongue and sarcasm.

As for Ike and Yamauchi... they're both perverts with no sense of crisis whatsoever, especially Yamauchi, who has no distinguishing features and likes to act smart. In terms of overall ability, this guy should be at the bottom of Class D.

In the original storyline, this guy thought he had latched onto Ayaka Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A and even wanted to kick Ayaka out of Class D, but in the end, he became the scapegoat.

"Horikita-kun, where's Yojiro? Wasn't he also going to join our study group?"

When Kikyo Kushida saw that only Suzune Horikita and Ayanokouji had come as invited, she couldn't hide her disappointment.

She had devised a series of battle plans beforehand, with the aim of sowing discord between Yang Cheng and Horikita Suzune.

But if Yang Cheng doesn't come now, wouldn't her entire plan fall through?

Compared to the disappointed Kikyo Kushida, Ike and Yamauchi, while saying things like "what a pity," were actually overjoyed inside.

If Yang Cheng, that handsome guy, doesn't get in the way, then the chances for the two of them will be much greater.

Moreover, now not only Kikyo Kushida, but even Suzune Horikita has joined the study group.

Although Horikita Suzune usually has a cold and aloof demeanor, it must be said that in terms of looks and temperament alone, she is indeed a super beautiful girl.

With her stunning figure and gentle personality, Kushida was naturally their first target.

But the goddess with long, straight black hair and a cool, aloof demeanor seems quite good too.

As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first," what if Horikita is impressed by their knowledge?

What? You're saying they have two rivals, Sudo and Ayanokoji?

Sudo is a muscle-bound idiot with a temper that explodes at the slightest provocation. What girl would like such an emotionally unstable fool?

Ayanokouji... He's just a nobody in Class D, practically invisible. How can he compete with them?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yosei, who had stood up Kikyo Kushida and Suzune Horikita, met another beautiful girl from his class, Megumi Karuizawa, at a confectionery shop on campus.

"Yang Cheng... excuse me... would you like to go out with me?"

Faced with the stunning blonde beauty who immediately delivered a bombshell, Yang Cheng, who had some initial suspicions, was completely stunned.

Since it's only been a short time since the start of the semester, Karuizawa Kei doesn't seem to have asked the nice guy Hirata for help to act as her fake boyfriend yet, so she's the one who's become his substitute first.

Karuizawa Megumi is one of the leaders of the girls' group in Class D. She has long, honey-colored hair tied high in a ponytail. She usually has a spoiled personality and looks like a rather unapproachable gyaru.

However, what many people don't know is that these are actually all disguises by Karuizawa Megumi.

She dresses like a sexy girl and acts like she's not someone to mess with, all just to better protect herself.

Because Karuizawa Kei was a victim of bullying in junior high school, she was left with a great deal of psychological trauma.

Although her hot girl image is now deeply ingrained in the eyes of the students in Class D, and she enjoys a certain reputation among the girls.

However, Karuizawa Kei was also worried that if her true nature were exposed one day, she would become the target of bullying again.

So Karuizawa Kei decided to find a strong enough male classmate to act as her fake boyfriend to protect herself.

At first, Karuizawa Kei wanted to ask Hirata Yosuke from Class D for help.

After all, the other person not only has excellent interpersonal relationships in Class D, but is also helpful, so he shouldn't refuse my request for help.

However, a few days ago, after seeing Haruaki stand up and confront the whole class to protect Horikita Suzune, Karuizawa Megumi suddenly felt that Haruaki seemed more suitable to be her fake boyfriend than Hirata.

Hirata is gentle and helpful, but he treats everyone the same way.

If one day Hirata finds himself in a dilemma, will he still stand up firmly to protect him?

Just like Yangcheng protected Horikita before?

To be honest, when I saw Haruaki stand up for Horikita Suzune and confront everyone in the class, I was quite envious.

Only those who have experienced school bullying truly know how great the person who stands up for them in a critical moment is.

"I know this request is unreasonable, but I'll agree to any condition as long as you're willing to help me."

As for Horikita, I'll explain things to you. However, I hope you two can keep my affairs confidential.

When asked for help from Yosei, Karuizawa Kei stammered out her past.

Even if they were just a fake couple, she was worried that Horikita Suzune might misunderstand, so she said she would help explain things to Suzune.

After all, Yang Cheng's previous open protection of Lingyin had led everyone in Class D to believe that the two of them had a certain relationship.
