Chapter 104. The Answer
The four Mandarin classes in the morning were quite agonizing.
The troublesome middle-aged teacher completely ignored Xun outside the corridor. After four long classes, when he returned to his seat, he felt that all the organs in his body had lost sensation.
The knee joint is like a machine that hasn't been oiled and maintained in a long time; it will make a "creaking" sound even with the slightest impact.
I'm going to die...
Kaoru's entire weight was concentrated on the back of the chair, her hands hanging limply at her sides.
His eyes stared lifelessly at the swaying light spots above his head.
"Hoshino-kun, how does it feel to stand for four consecutive classes?"
At the next table, Mizukami looked at his profile with a very satisfied expression.
"It's surprisingly good. If you have time, Minakami-kun, you should give it a try."
"Leave that kind of thing to Hoshino-kun. I don't have any masochistic tendencies."
Seeing Hoshino's miserable state, I felt a sense of joy.
Mizukami didn't understand why she had that feeling.
Such a reaction, so full of 'S' tendencies... I don't recall her being the type to be interested in these things.
"Mizukami-kun, if a male of your age gave you a birthday present, what kind of gift do you think would make you happy?"
Xun, her body pressed tightly against the back of the chair, let out a sigh.
"Let's assume... Hoshino-kun looks down on me."
"It has nothing to do with looking down on someone. It's just that kind of person, Mizukami. You don't have any other male friends your age besides me, right?"
This statement needs to be corrected.
It shouldn't be "I don't have any male friends my age," it should be "I don't have any male friends."
Kaoru's guess was completely correct, so Mizukami was somewhat disappointed, but quickly accepted the reality.
"If you're just deliberately making fun of me, I'll really hate that kind of Hoshino-kun."
"It's okay, this isn't the first time I've done something like this."
"Hoshino-kun, please die."
No, actually I'm very afraid of dying.
After the brief bickering ended, Mizukami began to think about the topic Kaoru had mentioned not long ago.
As for gifts—
She reached a conclusion in less than a second.
"For things like this—it doesn't matter what kind of gift it is, right?"
The young lady spoke these words with an air of certainty.
Why would the student from the water sports school think that way?
"Because it doesn't matter what gift you give me. If you just want to make me happy with a gift, that's impossible."
Faced with her "stating the facts" attitude.
As expected, Kaoru denied it immediately.
"That kind of thinking is wrong. The reason why you think that way is simply because no male of your age has given you a birthday present in the eighteen years you have lived so far. Thinking about it that way, you are really pitiful. I feel sorry for you now, Miss."
This statement is extremely damaging.
Shui Shang's cheeks twitched visibly, unable to think of any rebuttal. In the end, she simply chose to take revenge on Kaoru, who had uttered those cruel words, in her own way.
Kaoru's ears rotated clockwise.
The excruciating pain caused him to howl in agony.
"Violence! Violence!"
"It's just punishing the wicked."
"Please, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"don't want."

"That guy is really something."
As the bell rang to signal the end of the last class, Xun walked towards the parking shed, rubbing her throbbing ears.
"It's just that Hoshino-kun brought it on himself."
Beside him, Kobayashi opened her left eye and glanced at his profile from time to time.
We share the same feeling.
Seeing this guy run into a wall made me feel even happier.
"Say something to comfort me..."
Kaoru went to the vending machine by the roadside, inserted 1,000 yen, and bought a can of coffee. As he bent down to take the coffee out, the vending machine's dispensing spout made a clanging sound again.
"Thank you!"
"Hey! That's my money!"
"Don't be so stingy, Hoshino-kun."
Kobayashi bent down, took the coffee from the bottom of the vending machine, and then, as if showing off, held it in both hands, rubbing his cheeks against the cold surface of the can.
Even if this guy looks as cute as a small animal now, Kaoru will absolutely not tolerate him spending his money without permission and leaving only fifty yen.
"I had no intention of treating you to a meal. Since you've taken the liberty of doing this, then do something else to repay my kindness."
Kaoru was thinking that it would be great if she could give Rin some suggestions on choosing a gift.
However, the current development—
"In that case... Hoshino-kun..."
Kobayashi, with her cheeks slightly lowered and a striking blush spreading behind her ears, suddenly leaned closer, and then... her right hand played with the black hair that fell from her forehead.
"You need to be gentle... Hoshino-san, after all, I don't have any experience with that kind of thing."
What incredible things has this guy thought of?!
Kaoru took a step back in fear, and Kobayashi immediately took a step forward towards him until he felt the impact of the vending machine against his back, and there was nowhere left to retreat! Realizing this, Kaoru mustered his courage to face the face that was leaning towards him.
His hands touched her shoulders. Perhaps realizing what was about to happen, Kobayashi hesitated and closed his eyes. His slightly parted pink lips were full of desire and temptation... Kaoru tried hard to restrain himself from pressing his lips to hers.
"Kobayashi-kun...no, that's not what I meant..."
"But... I know very well what kind of person Hoshino-san is."
Kobayashi stared directly at Kaoru's fearful face with eyes that seemed to see right through her.
The thoughts in her heart seemed to have nowhere to hide; at this moment, Kaoru had such an intuition.
"However—it's also possible that my judgment was flawed."
After saying these words in a teasing tone, Kobayashi withdrew his leaning body.
Seeing this, Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, it feels a bit awkward to let Hoshino-kun treat me for free."
How dare you say such a thing! Who spent the money?!
Kaoru tried hard to suppress the extreme thoughts surging in her mind like a volcanic eruption.
"Hoshino-kun, as a thank you for treating me, there's something you want to know."
After opening the can of coffee, Xun brought it to her lips and took a sip.
A cold, bitter-tasting liquid is poured into the stomach.
He didn't think that what Kobayashi said would interest him.
Therefore, it was taken for granted that it was ignored.
Xun turned around and walked towards the parking shed.
Just as his figure was about to be swallowed up by the shadows in the parking shed.
As the cicadas' chirping grew increasingly shrill, Kobayashi's voice rang out from behind him.
"I know Ms. Shoko's address."
