To put it simply, it's the kind of lighthearted campus romance story that immediately fits Nino's style. It's about two high school lovers who were inseparable during their school years, but broke up after graduation due to some misunderstandings and setbacks. A few years later, they met again by chance, causing a bunch of emotional entanglements and farces before getting back together. It's the kind of old-fashioned campus romance drama.

Coincidentally, Hayakawa hates school romance the most; he simply can't bear to watch it.

Nino watched from the side with tears welling up in her eyes, constantly wiping her eyes with tissues, while Hayakawa looked impatient, wishing she could take out her phone and loudly read out English words in front of everyone.

"Abandon! Abandon!"

Go ahead and tell the whole world just how much you love learning.

How can a qualified and studious high school student get entangled in ridiculous and unrealistic emotions?

Hayakawa genuinely looked down on high school romances. After all, due to his family background, he couldn't have a normal relationship like other students, and he never intended to have a relationship like a normal person. Their views were simply different.

Take, for example, the monogamous system, which is regarded as a truth by ordinary people. However, in Hayakawa's view, the monogamous marriage system has not been around for very long in human history. It was only formally written into Japanese law in 1898. It is not stable in itself, and many countries have been practicing polygamy.

Hayakawa's family did not require him to sacrifice himself for a so-called marriage alliance, but continuing the family line was indeed the most basic obligation, something that even someone like Hayakawa, who held the imperial throne, could not refuse.

Chapter 162 You Are All My Wings

As the movie drew to a close, Nino sobbed as tears streamed down her face, while Hayakawa leaned back in his seat, propping his chin up and yawning lazily.

In the end, the male protagonist rejects a good girl who has liked and accompanied him since graduation, and chooses his first love from high school, or rather, his true love, leading to a happy ending.

Hayakawa was very dissatisfied with this ending. He hated student romances and indecisive people. In his opinion, either you shouldn't date in high school, or you should say, "You are all my wings!"

He is a very possessive person with a strong sense of self-respect, and he will never allow anything that belongs to him to escape from his hands.

As the movie ended, the dimly lit space was instantly illuminated, and people began to leave the theater one after another.

"Ugh... How could it end like this?"

Nino seemed to be immersed in the sad atmosphere of the ending. She wiped away her tears before standing up and walking outside.

Hayakawa glanced at his untouched bottle of cola and popcorn, held them in his hands, and then followed Nino outside.

"That Kawakami is a real scoundrel."

As Nino walked down the stairs, she kept muttering, "Midori liked him for so many years, but in the end she still chose Yohana, so..."

Hayakawa listened silently from the side. He only had a vague impression of the male protagonist Kawakami and couldn't tell which one was Midori and which one was Yoka.

The two left the movie theater and went outside. It was 10 a.m., the busiest time in the mall.

"Oh, sorry, I've said a bit too much,"

Nino Nakano still had a few tear streaks on her face. She wiped her eyes and smiled at Hayakawa: "It's still early. Let's go shopping first, and then get some food."

"it is good."

Hayakawa nodded calmly, but sighed inwardly.

So much time wasted...

Sigh, I guess I'll just take this as a way to clear my head.

Hayakawa thought to herself and followed Nino toward the third floor of the department store. Soon they arrived at the center of the bustling hall, where the dense crowd made Hayakawa frown.

"Let's go over there and take a look."

Nino, on the other hand, seemed quite excited and took the lead, guiding Hayakawa towards the shops where women's clothing was gathered.

Hayakawa followed behind, looking around the vicinity.

There are significantly fewer people here than in the central area of ​​the third floor and near the elevators. However, it's worth noting that most of the people here are couples, and even those who are single are mostly women. You hardly see any men strolling around here alone.

Hayakawa glanced around. It seemed that this area selling women's clothing was a sensitive spot on this floor. Here, any man who was alone, even just passing by, would be looked at with strange eyes. If he had a decent appearance, it would be better, but if his appearance was suspicious, he would likely be pointed at and gossiped about.

Nino Nakano pulled Hayakawa into a clothing store called "A.hana". She seemed to be a regular customer of this store, as she entered with ease and began looking around for the new items she liked.

"Hello,"

Just then, a sharp-eyed shop assistant spotted Hayakawa and Nino as a pair and quickly came over with a smile: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah, you've come at the perfect time,"

Nino was examining a piece of clothing when she saw the shop assistant approach and quickly asked, "Is this dress a little too big? Also, could you show me your new arrivals? I've already seen the previous ones, and the one I wanted last time..."

Hayakawa stood to the side, staring blankly, his eyes fixed on nothing but the chair in the center of the shop.

"This one is quite nice,"

Hayakawa was in a daze for a moment. Nino had already picked out several clothes and compared them to the mirror several times. Finally, she picked out a favorite one and turned to Hayakawa, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll go change and see."

Nino took her clothes and pants into the changing room, and soon came out after changing her entire outfit.

The light blue satin shirt shimmered under the light, and the pure black cropped casual pants hugged her slender legs, revealing her fair ankles. She wore a pair of beige fisherman shoes.

"It's so beautiful,"

The shop assistant next to her, half-genuinely and half-flatteringly, exclaimed, "Sir, you have such a great figure, you look good in anything!"

"Eh~ there isn't any,"

Nino, her face flushed with shy pink, swayed her upper body at Hayakawa and whispered somewhat bashfully, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Hayakawa: "..."

I have to say, you've asked the wrong person.

Hayakawa looked calmly at Nino in front of her, her face expressionless.

To be honest, Hayakawa has absolutely no idea whether clothes look good or not. He always judges the quality of a garment solely based on the fabric, workmanship, and comfort. Asking him whether a garment looks good or not is definitely asking the wrong person.

Speaking of which, what was she wearing just now?

Hayakawa stared blankly at Nino in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly as he scrutinized her with a seemingly professional eye.

"H-how...how is it?"

When Hayakawa looked at her like that, Nino Nakano couldn't help but feel nervous and even a little insecure.

"Quite good looking."

Hayakawa mumbled something that made Nino breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in her mind, good taste in clothing was a huge plus, and she had always been quite confident in her own aesthetic sense.

……

The shopping trip didn't last long, as it was only a little over an hour, and the two of them needed to get to a restaurant early to reserve a table for lunch, so they quickly left the shopping street and went upstairs.

Nino wanted to buy Hayakawa two more outfits, but Hayakawa refused, saying that his school uniform was enough for him.

The two went up to the fourth floor and arrived at a rather refined Chinese restaurant. They ordered some of each other's favorite dishes and then began to wait.

"Hayakawa..."

Nino had hoped to take this opportunity to chat with Hayakawa and get to know each other better, but she was slightly taken aback when she noticed Hayakawa taking out a small notebook and starting to read as soon as she sat down: "Studying now? So busy?"

"Yes, I will look at words and such in my free time."

Hayakawa answered without looking up.

"This...doesn't need to be so urgent, does it?"

Nino looked a little embarrassed and waved her hand, saying, "Look, we're only in our first year of high school, right? It's okay to relax a little. Hayakawa, your grades are also very good. If you work this hard now, what will you do in your senior year?"

"I'll only work harder in my senior year of high school,"

Hayakawa closed his notebook and said calmly, "If you relax just because you're only a first-year high school student, you'll definitely relax again for the same reason when you're a second-year student."

Chapter 163 Your Favorite

"..."

Nakano Nino listened to Hayakawa's words with some skepticism. As someone who didn't like studying, she found it hard to understand Hayakawa's behavior. However, even so, she realized the difference between herself and Hayakawa.

Perhaps that's why others are among the top students in their grade, while I'm at the bottom.

The two chatted for a few minutes before the dishes were served. Hayakawa put away his notebook and started eating. Perhaps because of Hayakawa's hangover, Nino ordered only light dishes, so Hayakawa enjoyed his meal.

He actually dislikes strong-flavored food. After all, he can't even drink sweet beverages, let alone dishes that are oily and spicy. So whether it was the ochazuke that Nino made earlier or the dishes he ordered now, they were more in line with Hayakawa's taste and filled the void left by the boring movie he had just watched.

"You're studying so hard, you must have a target university in mind by now."

Nino took a bite of fish slice and asked curiously, "Is it the kind of exam that's really hard to pass?"

"No, I've never thought about that."

Hayakawa shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be a university in Tokyo, but it's also possible that he'll go to a university abroad."

"Eh? Going abroad,"

Nino's eyes lit up immediately: "The United States, Canada? Or Europe?"

Nino had always longed to go abroad, not because she was a person who fawned over foreigners, but because she longed for new things.

"Ah."

Hayakawa nodded silently.

"That sounds great, I want to go too!"

Nino's eyes held a faint light, then she said somewhat dejectedly, "But whether it's Tokyo or going abroad, the exams probably won't be easy. I definitely can't do it."

Hayakawa didn't say anything and kept his head down while eating.

For him, going to university in Tokyo or going abroad is not difficult at all; it all depends on his own choice and his family's requirements.

"Have you thought about what you'll study in the future? What department or college will you apply to?"

Nino looked at Hayakawa curiously, trying to discern his preferences from his demeanor and mannerisms, guessing, "Literature? Physics, or medicine? I feel you'd be perfect for medicine; you have that serious, doctor-like air about you."

"this…"

Hayakawa paused slightly with his chopsticks, his brow furrowed, and after a long pause, he said seriously, "As for me... I'd say astronomy."

"astronomy?!"

Nino's eyes widened slightly as she asked curiously, "It's that subject where you observe the stars every day. It sounds pretty good, but what kind of jobs do graduates of this subject do?"

"They probably work at the observatory, spending all day with a telescope observing celestial bodies in the sky."

Hayakawa gave a joking example: "Then suddenly you discover a star that you've never seen before, and name it after yourself or something."

"Romantic~"

Nino was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling with hearts.

Inner Theater:

"I've discovered a celestial body that's never been seen before!"

Wearing a white lab coat, Hayakawa tossed aside the astronomical telescope in his hand and said to Nino, a married woman wearing an apron next to him, "According to international practice, I will have the naming rights."

Housewife Nino: "So, what name do you plan to give it?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Hayakawa embraced Nino, gazing tenderly at the woman before him: "It must be your name. I want the boundless universe, the eternal stars, to witness our love, my honey~"

"Oh! Darling!"

……

The mental theater has ended.

Is astronomy such a romantic subject?

Nakano Nino blushed deeply at her own fantasy, covering her burning face with her hands, and suddenly felt an immense motivation to study.

Hayakawa didn't notice Nino's change in expression; instead, he was deep in thought.

Astronomy may sound like a humanities subject, but it is actually a science subject. Almost all astronomy majors focus on studying "astrophysics." Cosmology and astrophysics both fall under the category of astronomy. Therefore, the astronomy department is actually under the physics department, which is why Fumino Furuhashi needed to study science to be able to go to the astronomy department.

Hayakawa had never paid attention to astronomy before, and didn't even have any interest in any subject. However, after spending a lot of time with Fumino Furuhashi and often seeing her looking up at the sky with longing, Hayakawa developed a subtle curiosity about the vast universe and the endless starry sky. So when Nino asked him this question, the first thing that came to his mind was astronomy.

As for why Hayakawa didn't become curious about psychology because of Ogata Rizu, the reason is naturally because Ogata's motives were impure. The reason she wanted to study psychology was because she was terrible at board games. Just the fact that she was bad at games was a huge disadvantage for Hayakawa, so it's good that she didn't develop a bad impression of psychology because of it.

"..."

Hayakawa lowered his head and chewed on seaweed. Nino was whispering something to him, and he was deep in thought.

Astronomy...
