……

Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata definitely couldn't stay overnight, so after eating the sukiyaki takeout ordered by Hayakawa, they went back.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hayakawa was worried that it would be dangerous for the two girls to go home separately, so he used his phone to book a taxi for them to take them home. Fumino Furuhashi readily agreed, but Rizu Ogata said that her house was just two streets away and she could walk back in five minutes, so she didn't need a taxi and asked Hayakawa to cancel her order.

"Senior, you're still here?"

After seeing the two girls off, Hayakawa walked into the house from the entrance and found that Minami Aizami was still sitting in a chair reading a book. His heart was immediately filled with emotion and joy.

No wonder he's a senior who repeated a year of high school; look at his dedication! He's much more hardworking than the likes of Furuhashi and Ogata.

"I'll read for a little while longer,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng said without looking up, "The efficiency was good tonight."

"Oh, alright."

Hayakawa immediately stopped talking and silently sat down next to the petite girl, also starting to read.

The night is getting darker.

Chapter 117 Learning Problems

The moonlight was as clear and bright as water, like a night lamp hanging in the sky, bringing a glimmer of light and warmth to the dark night. The moon slowly rose, the Milky Way receded, the stars became sparse, and the night sky was as clean and flawless as if it had been washed.

The stars twinkled and disappeared, and the moon rose to the center of the night. Hayakawa and Minami Azumi were studying on the table, oblivious to fatigue and the passage of time.

After a long while, Komi Nami Aizumi seemed to wake up and raised her head, looking around in confusion, and murmured, "What time is it?"

Hayakawa also looked up, glanced at his phone, and said, "It's already nine o'clock."

"It's so late?"

As if waking from a dream, Komi Nami scratched her head and looked at Hayakawa apologetically: "Sorry, junior, I accidentally forgot the time and stayed here for so long."

"It's fine."

Hayakawa said contentedly, looking at Minami Aizami with incredibly tender eyes, which could even be described as affectionate.

Hayakawa never felt annoyed by someone who was willing to study with him without affecting his imperial throne. No matter how long Hayakawa stayed at home, he would never feel bored. On the contrary, he liked them very much and his desire to protect them grew stronger.

"It's so late,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng stood up: "I have to go back quickly."

The girl had a headache. It was so late, and although her home wasn't far, it was obviously not safe to go back in the dark. It was even different from the situation of Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata earlier. It might not be safe for her to take a taxi home at this time.

And if I go home at this time... I'll probably run into that couple who send messages as frequently as a teddy bear.

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's face darkened at the thought. She had been thinking about moving recently and had already found a new rental apartment, just two buildings away from the Hayakawa building. It was very close and convenient for her to come to work and tutor. However, they were still discussing it, and with the addition of contacting a moving company and finishing up, she estimated that she would not be able to move until this weekend. For now, she would still have to live in the old rental apartment.

In other words, she now has to go back to that small, cramped, poorly ventilated, poorly soundproofed room with a strange smell.

I don't really want to go back...

Xiao Meilang Aicheng wondered: Should I leave the hotel?

But to be honest, it's not a safe thing for a girl to stay in a hotel alone.

"senior,"

Hayakawa suddenly asked, "How about staying overnight tonight?"

"Um…"

Komi Nami Aizumi was lost in thought when she subconsciously responded, then instantly realized what she meant, her face turning bright red as she asked, "Eh? Why...why?"

What are you up to? What are you plotting?

Komi Aizawa slowly curled up on the sofa, her eyes warily fixed on Hayakawa in front of her. Her slender legs were tucked in, her snow-white feet poised to kick out at any moment.

Could it be that seeing Furuhashi and Ogata leave, and finding me so adorable, aroused his lust?

It's all because I'm too cute! It's all because I'm too cute!

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was filled with grief and indignation. She remembered what Furuhashi had told her before, "Be more vigilant," and she immediately felt even more regretful.

I regret not heeding Guqiao's advice!

"Look how late it is now,"

Hayakawa had no idea what Mimi Aizawa was thinking. He was a pure and upright person, and said calmly, "I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to go back alone. Anyway, I have extra rooms here, so you can stay here and leave tomorrow morning."

"this…"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng relaxed and patted her chest: "So...so that's how I am. You should have said so earlier."

"Uh?"

Hayakawa looked bewildered; what else could it be?

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his suggestion, and frankly, the frequency of girls staying at his house had been quite high lately. He had gotten used to his pure house being defiled by others, so it was only natural and quite natural for him to suggest that the girls stay overnight.

"nothing,"

Komi Nami quickly waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, junior."

Hayakawa shook her head: "It's nothing. Do you still want to take a shower?"

"No need, I already washed it."

Xiao Meilang grinned at Hayakawa: "Your water heater is really good, there's always plenty of hot water."

"is it?"

Hayakawa was noncommittal.

"Yes,"

With a playful smile on her face, Mimi Nami tilted her head and secretly observed Hayakawa, saying boastfully, "But I'll have the same water heater soon, and I'm moving to this neighborhood this weekend."

Then, Mimi Nami patted Hayakawa's shoulder in a pretentious manner, raised her snow-white chin like a big sister, and said, "I'll protect you from now on."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Hayakawa's face: "Okay."

……

Today's study session has indeed lasted a long time. Although Hayakawa is still a little reluctant to stop, he knows it's about time. After all, he is still feeling unwell, and if he continues studying, he might not be able to attend class normally tomorrow. So, Hayakawa plans to take a shower early tonight and then go to bed early for the first time in a long time.

"Senior, I'm going back to my room."

After taking a shower, Hayakawa said goodbye to Minami Aizami and planned to go back to her room to sleep and rest.

As the emperor, he always maintained an ascetic lifestyle, never needing any entertainment that corrupted his will. He didn't have time to play on his phone before bed; he would simply go to sleep as soon as he lay down in bed, and study as soon as he got up. The alternation between rest and study constituted the entirety of Hayakawa Shiro's daily life.

However, today, Minami Aizami broke this ironclad cycle.

"You're sleeping way too early, junior,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng said with a smile, "Want to chat? A chat before bed."

Hayakawa looked surprised, his brows furrowed as he looked at Misaki, his expression turning slightly somber.

It's acting out again, trying to force me to launch a dark upheaval.

Unaware that her life was hanging by a thread, Minami Aizami was still smiling as she greeted the serious-looking Hayakawa: "Come on, junior, let's talk about studying."

"Oh!"

Hayakawa instantly perked up, losing all reason and following Misaki into her room without a second thought.

……

As soon as they entered the room, Minami Azumi burrowed under the covers, smiling at Hayakawa: "Junior..."

Hayakawa sat upright in the chair next to the bed, her expression serious: "What's wrong, Senpai?"

Want to test me? Then come on, let me see what a repeat student is capable of!

"You and Fumino Furuhashi,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng squinted and teased, "What exactly is your relationship?"

Hayakawa: "..."

Is this the learning problem you're referring to?

Hayakawa instantly lost all interest and said expressionlessly, "Teacher-student relationship."

Chapter 118 Umaru Arrives

Don't say that!

Xiao Meilang Aicheng teased, "Furuhashi's reaction today was completely off. As her senior, I could tell at a glance. Don't try to hide it from me. Just tell me the progress of your relationship."

As she spoke, Xiaomei winked mischievously, her eyes filled with gossipy anticipation as she looked at Hayakawa.

She observed everything all night, from the four of them studying together to Furuhashi suddenly becoming sad, then Hayakawa comforting her and bringing her back, and finally the subtle changes in Furuhashi's eyes and her evasive manner towards Hayakawa after she returned.

This is too obvious.

From Minami Azumi's perspective, the atmosphere between the two was almost impossible to conceal, especially since Hayakawa would often stare at Furuhashi Fumino for no apparent reason, her gaze fixed and focused, full of longing—clearly the look of devotion and love.

How wonderful youth is!

However, what's strange is that he sometimes looks at Ogata Riju with the same gaze, which is a bit puzzling. Maybe he's misinterpreting it.

"Your gaze at Gu Qiao is really strange, it's almost like he's drooling!"

Komi Nami couldn't understand it, so she simply ignored it and directly questioned Hayakawa: "To me, that's clearly a look of love. Don't explain! Just tell me the truth."

"???"

Hayakawa stared blankly: "What are you talking about?"

Relationship progress? What progress? The course progress? It's still a long way off.

Love? What does that mean? Who dares to fall in love?!

"Tsk..."

Seeing that Hayakawa was still being stubborn, Komi Nami frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "Aren't you going to tell me?"

Hayakawa looked even more confused, blinked, and scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

This is the result of different people being unable to understand each other.

In Ayame's view, Hayakawa's eyes as he looked at Furuhashi contained all sorts of things related to youth, such as "devotion," "love," and "desire," which made people feel happy. It was as if the boy was silently expressing his feelings.

However, what Hayakawa was actually thinking when he looked at the old bridge...

I'll tolerate you for now.

"Conceal your strength and bide your time, then seize the opportune moment—(insidious)"

"I am a king, how can I submit to anyone?!"

"Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!!"

Dark, resentful thoughts could no longer be concealed and slowly flowed from his eyes.

"I don't understand what you're saying at all,"

Hayakawa stood up and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back. I'm sleepy."

If it weren't for discussing topics related to studies, he wouldn't have come here with Ayame. Wouldn't it be better to go back and get some sleep now so he can be more focused and quickly immerse himself in the lessons tomorrow? After all, he carries a heavy burden of shame, and he can't tolerate wasting even the slightest bit of time.

Bearing the title of the Great Emperor, he cannot lose.

Hayakawa stood up and walked outside.

"Hey! Junior."

Komi Nami called out, but it didn't stop her; Hayakawa walked straight away.

"Boom."

Hayakawa closed the door.

Komi Nami Aizumi looked at the empty doorway and said angrily, "This junior!"

She was so shy, she just ran away?
