Hayakawa was speechless and could only say...
"What a despicable man's statement."
Siye silently took out her phone: "Why don't we call the police? You've already broken the law."
"It's ok."
Hayakawa mechanically opened his mouth: "We can immigrate to other countries, where many things don't violate the law, like in Paraguay..."
"My family name is so unusual, I've never even heard of it before."
Four-Leaf said expressionlessly, "I don't want to go abroad."
"..."
Hayakawa collapsed onto the table like a towering giant, choosing to lower his noble head: "Alright... I admit it was my fault."
Yotsuba's expression softened slightly, but it didn't really improve much. She said quietly, "If it's not your fault, whose fault is it?"
"But I won't change."
Hayakawa suddenly raised her head, looked at Yotsuba very seriously, and said, "You... are all my wings!"
"..."
What should I do if I encounter a truly despicable and shameless man?
"Well, let's put my business aside for now and talk about something more important."
Hayakawa cleared his throat and asked, "How did your exam go today? Did you perform well?"
"Are you trying to change the subject?"
Yotsuba wanted to leave in a huff, but then she remembered that she had brought lunch but hadn't eaten a bite yet, and the school cafeteria would be closing soon. So she quickly lowered her head and ate, then thought for a moment and said, "Not bad. I answered a lot of questions that I couldn't understand before. About half of them."
Yotsuba hesitated for a moment, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Many of the questions you discussed in class last night matched those on today's test... Well, I guess you deserve some credit for that, thank you."
After saying that, Yotsuba lowered her head and continued eating, unwilling to look at Hayakawa. She was angry at the moment, and thanking him would weaken her momentum. However, she couldn't remain silent because she had always been a grateful and kind child.
"It's alright, it's mainly thanks to your own hard work." Hayakawa naturally excluded himself from the list of heroes, calmly lowering his head to drink his porridge: "Then, I will still go to your house on the nights of the exams these next few days. Keep up the good work then, and don't relax just because of one day's results."
Come again...
Yotsuba's face immediately fell. Having rarely studied before, she was suddenly pushed to the limit by Hayakawa, and she really couldn't keep up. But Hayakawa had come to help, so she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"understood."
Yotsuba nodded dejectedly in agreement.
"Well... there's something I need to tell you."
Hayakawa suddenly remembered her conversation with Nakano Maruo this morning and said, "I was planning to tell you all tonight when all five of you sisters are here, but since I've run into you, I'll tell you in advance."
Yotsuba asked nervously, "W-what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Hayakawa calmly began, "Your father invited me to be your official tutor."
Chapter 520: He stayed overnight at our house.
"Your father invited me to be your official tutor."
As soon as Hayakawa finished speaking, Yotsuba froze in shock.
A formal...private tutor?
In other words, not only will yesterday's situation continue for a week, but it won't even end after the week of exams?! Considering Hayakawa's personality, even his holidays will probably be packed full.
Thinking of this, Yotsuba's face turned pale.
I don't want that kind of life...
Although there is a desire to study and improve grades so that everyone can advance to higher education, everything should be done in moderation. Learning cannot be rushed and must be done step by step. Such a strong sense of pressure from the very beginning will make people mentally explode.
"According to him, the compensation will be much higher than the market price, but that's not the main point,"
While eating, Hayakawa said, "The important thing is the wishes of you five sisters. I think it's not a bad idea for me to be your tutor. The tutoring time can be longer, so you can relax and not be too nervous. But it mainly depends on you."
"I…"
Yotsuba had mixed feelings. She knew that although it would be tough if she agreed, she would definitely be rewarded with success if she persevered.
However, perseverance is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it; it requires enduring it silently for a long time while sweating and gritting one's teeth.
Do those rebellious students who don't want to study not know how much good grades will help their future? Of course they do, but why can't they keep studying? Because it's just too tiring. Every day they face the teacher's boring lessons, mountains of test papers, and those difficult problems that they can't understand no matter how hard they try. They simply can't persevere.
People like Hayakawa are so rare. Even a well-behaved girl like Yotsuba can't help but feel fear and shrink back when faced with the real mountain of studying.
"Let me...let me think about it!"
Yotsuba hesitated for a moment in front of Hayakawa, then stammered, "I can't make this decision by myself; I have to discuss it with my sisters."
"Yes, you're very thoughtful."
Hayakawa nodded, completely unaware that Yotsuba actually wanted to be the Cowardly Lizard.
Before the two had exchanged more than a few words, Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata arrived late.
"Excuse me, Hayakawa-san."
Furuhashi pulled the equally panting Ogata Rizu to the table, and while putting down the plates, explained, "The teacher went overtime, so we're a little late. I'm really sorry."
"Are there really teachers going to extend class time during lunch break? That's outrageous!"
Yotsuba asked curiously, "And were both of your teachers keeping the class going overtime?"
"No, no, it's just that I went overtime, and Ri-chan was waiting for me at the door."
Fumino Furuhashi waved her hand with a smile, then realized what was happening and looked at Yotsuba in surprise, saying, "Yotsuba, when did you get here? I didn't even notice you!"
"I've been here all along, okay? You must have been too tired to see me."
Yotsuba was a little speechless, then casually explained, "I was looking for a seat in the cafeteria when I came here with my tray, and I happened to see Hayakawa sitting alone in the corner eating. She looked so pitiful, so I sat down here. I didn't expect you guys to be here too."
"Haha, Hayakawa-san is always like this,"
Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but smile as she listened to Riju Ogata's description: "I'm sorry, this child often acts alone, but he actually needs someone to take care of him. I hope you can look after him more in the future, Yotsuba."
"..."
Was I just inexplicably humiliated by two people... and do I look like I need someone to take care of me?
Yotsuba laughed at Fumino's joking tone at first, but when she noticed the genuine pleading and concern on Fumino's face, she gradually stopped laughing and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
It feels like something has been stolen from me.
"Haha, speaking of which, how did your exams go?" Yotsuba quickly changed the subject to hide her chaotic thoughts, flashing an energetic smile: "I feel like I did pretty well on the exams today, because last night..."
"Exams? Ri-chan and I have absolutely no problem with them."
Fumino Furuhashi said mysteriously, "Because Hayakawa-san gave me and Ri-chan a secret weapon a long time ago."
"..."
Yotsuba blinked and said, "Huh? May I ask what kind of secret weapon it is?"
"this one"
Fumino Furuhashi looked around and leaned closer to Yotsuba, saying, "Actually, it was a prediction of the exam scope, but it wasn't very accurate. He could only guess part of it, but being able to guess part of it is already quite impressive. Besides, this method of improving grades can only work temporarily; you can't expect the final exam to be the same..."
"Oh...I see."
Yotsuba listened to Furuhashi's story, then turned to Hayakawa with a blank expression and smiled, "So Hayakawa-san has this special ability. I only found out recently. It's quite unexpected."
Hayakawa's lips twitched slightly, and his hand holding the spoon tightened slightly.
Yotsuba, I feel like your once sunny smile has turned a bit gray now, but that must be just my imagination.
"Yes, but Yotsuba, don't tell the other classmates,"
Fumino Furuhashi spoke with a strange sense of pride, then suddenly reminded him as if she had just thought of something: "If others find out, a lot of people will definitely ask Hayakawa-san for it, and that will cause trouble."
"I know I know."
Yotsuba simply nodded. She glanced at Furuhashi and Ogata, then at Hayakawa, and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Hayakawa-san stayed at our house yesterday."
As if a pause had been pressed, Fumino Furuhashi, who had been chattering about various topics, froze, while Rizu Ogata, who had been eating quickly and silently in pursuit of efficiency, also stopped in mid-air with her chopsticks in her hand. After two seconds, she looked up blankly, her gaze somewhat fixed.
Hayakawa, who had already finished eating: "..."
I've already finished eating, and I suddenly don't feel like going to the library to study today. Can I go back to the classroom?
"Oh, really?"
Fumino Furuhashi subconsciously turned to look at Hayakawa, who picked up her cup and took a tactical sip of water: "There are various reasons, I suppose."
That's true.
"That's a bit unexpected..."
Fumino Furuhashi pursed her lips and asked Yotsuba, "Yotsuba-chan, although it's your private matter, I'm a little curious, what did Hayakawa-san do at your house?"
"It's nothing,"
Yotsuba said nonchalantly, "It's because it's almost final exam time, and they were worried that my grades would be too bad, so they went to teach us."
"That's it"
Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata's expressions visibly changed, and they frequently glanced at Hayakawa with unfriendly looks in their eyes.
Chapter 521 has already been exposed.
Hayakawa didn't even need to look to know what the two of them were thinking; it was all clearly written in their eyes.
Okay, okay, so instead of teaching us before the final exams, you went to someone else's house for extra lessons, huh?
Execution! Execution! Execution is also a humiliation!
"..."
Hayakawa looked at the flames burning in the eyes of the two girls and thought, "Didn't you two say that this exam is the final exam and is very important, and you want to see how well you can do without anyone's help in preparing for the exam, so that's why you haven't made any special arrangements these past few days?"
Besides, even if I really wanted to tutor you two, it would be impossible. Furuhashi Fumino's father only comes home occasionally, and Ogata Riju's father is always on high alert, guarding against anyone trying to steal his daughter. I can't get close at all. I can't exactly let you two live in my house to study, that's even more impossible. Putting aside Furuhashi's father, Ogata Riju's father would definitely rush home at 20 miles per second and execute Hayakawa.
So can I be blamed for this situation?
"It's...it's still a pretty good thing."
Fumino Furuhashi remained silent for a long time before offering her blessings to Yotsuba, smiling encouragingly and saying, "This exam is very important, Yotsuba-chan. If Hayakawa is willing to tutor you, you must seize this opportunity. Not only will you not have to retake the exam, but your grades will also improve, and you'll gain confidence, which is very important..."
Furuhashi kept talking, and Ogata Rizu nodded, saying succinctly, "Yes."
Seeing the concern in her two friends' eyes, especially the sincere blessings and encouragement on Guqiao's face, Yotsuba felt a strange sense of guilt. She didn't know where to go to relieve the resentment in her heart.
What was I doing just now? Did I just want to make them both sad...?
Feeling ashamed, Yotsuba whispered, "I will. You two should also do well on your exams. I know you've been working hard for a long time."
"Of course!"
Fumino Furuhashi nodded vigorously, her pretty face beaming with a smile brighter than the sunshine: "Let's all work together."
……
Let's all work together...?
Hayakawa silently watched Yotsuba's departing figure. Perhaps because of embarrassment or awkwardness, Yotsuba left in a hurry after finishing her meal, leaving Hayakawa and Furuhashi Ogata alone.
"Yes, let's all work together."
Fuminoko Furuhashi stood next to Hayakawa, while Ogata Riju stood on the other side of Hayakawa. The three of them stood side by side, like three parallel telephone poles.
"I see."
Hayakawa nodded expressionlessly: "So, can you two let me go now? It hurts."
Lowering their gaze, Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata each had one hand on Hayakawa's waist without him noticing, each striking in a crab-like formation. The immense force twisted Hayakawa's steely will, which remained unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, causing his eyes to twitch slightly.
"Don't let it go."
Fumino Furuhashi smiled gently at Hayakawa, a slight upturn at the corners of her lips.
Ogata Rizu puffed out her pink cheeks slightly and muttered, "I won't let go either."
"..."
Stop this now! If you keep going like this and I can't take tomorrow's exam, I'll fight you to the death!
