Deduct One Billion Points
"Who?" Shiina Riki asked quickly.
"Does Rikki want to know?" Hachiman Mairin asked with a smile.
"Is it... Riki?" Shiina Riki asked hesitantly.
Hachiman Mairin smiled without saying a word, smoothing her black hair, but her eyes lowered slightly.
"No," Hachiman Mairin said softly, taking out her phone. "It's this person."
Shiina Riki looked at him and saw an unfamiliar male student from another school; he looked quite ordinary.
It's just like any random photo you find online.
Riki received a message from Rikki that Hailing liked students from other schools, not him.
Is that really the case?
What he felt today was probably not a misperception.
Riki returned home and continued tutoring Mu Hailing today. He watched Hachiman Mairin explained the problems to him in the same way as always.
Riki was at a loss for how to prove it. He couldn't just make a move, could he? He and Hailing weren't even dating yet; that would make him a pervert.
However... Hailing is still so close.
Riki looked at the face of Hachiman Mairin, who was standing very close to him.
If Hailing doesn't like him, why is she standing so close to him?
Three great illusions in life: She likes me.
But Riki felt that this time it should be true, and although there was no evidence, he chose to believe in himself.
I studied in the living room again today and fell asleep immediately.
Riki was asleep on the table when he felt footsteps approaching. The footsteps seemed hesitant. The person knelt down beside him and kissed his cheek.
Inexperienced, nervous, and uneasy.
And... delighted.
Riki opened her eyes and met Hachiman Mairin's gaze.
Hachiman Mairin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Riki to wake up. Her eyes flashed with panic and tension, and she turned to run away.
Riki grabbed her wrist with a "snap": "Wait, Hailing!"
Cool girl has a strong grip too, no wonder she likes Rikki's strong fingers so much!
Suddenly, Riki had a strange feeling.
Seriously?! Time travel at this time?!
I haven't explained things clearly to Hailing yet!
As Riki was thinking, he suddenly felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, he was in his room, basking in the sunlight streaming in from Haicheng through the window, while on the bed was Hachiman Mairin, whom he had pinned down.
Hailing is the one who traveled through time with us this time?!
She was still struggling.
Never mind!
Riki lowered his head and kissed Hachiman Mairin hard on the lips.
Riki felt Hachiman Mairin struggling in her arms, but as she was kissed, her resistance weakened. Riki looked up and gasped for breath, but Hachiman Mairin pushed her away abruptly.
"What are you doing, trying to force a kiss?!" Hachiman Mairin rubbed her lips vigorously with the back of her hand, looking at Riki angrily.
Didn't you steal a kiss from me first?
Chapter 220 Deducting 1 Billion Points
"Why did you steal a kiss from me?" Riki questioned Hachiman Mairin.
"I didn't!" Hachiman Mairin wiped her mouth vigorously, unable to help but shout back. She also felt that she was somewhat of a historical figure, after all, unlike Nagasaki Sose, who often erased her memories, and added, "I just tripped and accidentally kissed her today."
"We kissed twice, yesterday and today, in the same spot!" Riki said.
You cannot step into the same river twice.
But Hailing can kiss the same spot twice.
Hailing, there's actually a spot on my body that I'd love to kiss.
Hachiman Mairin fell silent, biting her lip as she looked at Riki. She turned to look out the window. Just moments ago, she had been at Riki and Sakiko's house, but now the room and the outside world had changed completely.
"Where is this?" Hachiman Mairin asked.
Riki stood up and extended her hand to Hailing: "Welcome to Haicheng."
Welcome to the world-famous beauty Hachiman Mairin, a member of the popular boy band Bang Bang, to Haicheng for guidance!
Hachiman Mairin hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took Riki's hand, listening to Riki begin to explain.
Riki watched as Hachiman Mairin sat on the living room sofa, frowning in thought. He was worried that Hailing's brain couldn't handle so much shocking information: transmigration that ordinary people couldn't understand, the fact that she was actually a character in the Mygo anime, and that Riki was actually a handsome guy from Haicheng, and other explosive news.
Riki was more worried that these messages would distract Hailing from the math problems she had just memorized yesterday.
Hailing's mathematical thinking can only be described as pathetic.
"Hailing, let's factorize this problem first..." Riki.
'Okay, but what is factorization?' Hailing.
"?" Riki.
"So, this is your hometown, right?" Hachiman Mairin finally accepted the news, rubbing her temples as she looked out the window at the sunlight.
It's a wonderful place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
"Can we go back?" Hachiman Mairin asked.
"Based on my current feeling, I should be able to go back in two or three days," Riki said. "If you really feel lonely, I can call Rikki over too. I have superpowers now."
"...No need to call her." Hachiman Mairin said, looking away.
I understand, you feel embarrassed to make a move on your childhood sweetheart, right?
But why won't this cool girl admit she likes me?
Riki looked at Hachiman Mairin's calm and beautiful face. Her eyes and brows held a touch of heroism, giving her the feel of a unique and beautiful young woman.
If you ask directly, Hailing will probably remain silent again, just like before.
Speaking of Mana mentioned before that Hailing harbored both liking and fear.
"You must be hungry since you didn't have breakfast. Let me take you to eat first," Riki said to Hachiman Mairin.
Hachiman Mairin nodded and followed Riki outside. Looking at the foreign scenery, her eyes lit up slightly as she curiously observed the novel people and things around her. She then sat down with Riki at a roadside breakfast shop.
"Boss, three baskets of xiaolongbao, two bowls of soy milk, and two youtiao (fried dough sticks)," Riki ordered, and the boss agreed.
"Sanku, is anyone else coming?" Hachiman Mairin asked.
"I'll eat two baskets," Riki said, her appetite was so good that she found everything delicious.
Hachiman Mairin nodded, and after the soy milk and fried dough sticks were served, she curiously tried them; they were sweet.
"This is a 20-year-old establishment. I've been eating here since I was a child. The taste is guaranteed. Even college students from the neighborhood come here to compete with elementary school students for food. Whoever arrives late will miss out," Riki said.
"Do college students really fight with kids over food?" Hachiman Mairin asked curiously.
"That's normal. You can't survive without fighting. You have to learn that from a young age," Riki said. "I'm going to get some chili sauce to dip the steamed buns in. Wait for me."
Hachiman Mairin nodded, feeling that Riki's hometown was full of vitality, with smiles on the faces of pedestrians on the street, but at the same time, the local customs were a bit strange.
She looked up and saw Riki's face on the large screen in the square not far away.
Hachiman Mairin paused for a moment, then looked closely and realized it was Riki's band, a promotional video for the National Music Competition. The rousing music that Riki's band played for the first ten seconds immediately captivated Hailing. She listened intently, then looked at the promotional text on the video.
"Our goal is first place in the competition..." Hachiman Mairin read aloud.
Riki is really amazing.
Hachiman Mairin lowered her eyes slightly; the more formidable Riki became, the more afraid she became.
Afraid of being abandoned.
Just like before.
Riki walked back with the chili sauce and happened to see an old friend, Rokko.
"Kid, don't cut in line! I was here first. My name is Riki, I'm a student at Haicheng University. I'll even hit a kid if I get angry." Rokko turned to the child and said, then turned back to see Riki holding chili sauce. He greeted her calmly, "Yo."
Yo damn it!
You were just ruining my reputation, and now you think you can just wash your hands of it all with a cheerful "oh," huh?
"Don't go, don't go! You really helped me this time. I feel like my spring has finally arrived!" Rokko said earnestly, holding Riki's hand.
"How many springs have there been this year?" Riki asked.
Rokko didn't answer, but nudged Riki with his shoulder, gesturing to Hachiman Mairin in the shop, "I could tell at a glance that she plays bass, just like me."
So what? Rokko and dogs share 94% of their genes. This proves nothing.
"And she was watching our promotional video the whole time. I think she might be like Bo Ya and Zi Qi, kindred spirits!" Rokko said earnestly.
Riki couldn't help but say, "Rokko, don't send me this 'funny' stuff anymore, she's my..."
"Girlfriend?" Rokko Vajra glared angrily.
"No, we're preparing for it," Riki said.
Looking at Hachiman Mairin, who had short, black hair and looked exceptionally dashing in the breakfast shop, Rokko sighed and said, "Fine, I'll let you have her this time."
You think you have a chance?!
Go away!
"Don't forget the match this afternoon. The Beijing team has challenged us, agreeing to fight again if we make it to the finals," Rokko said to Riki.
"Did you place any bets?" Riki asked.
"Whoever loses has to find someone from the other team to transfer their student registration to the other team's school," Rokko said.
Riki gasped. What a ruthless move! If he really transferred to Jingcheng University, wouldn't the principal hunt him down from afar?
"No, why are you unhappy?" Riki looked at Rokko strangely. "Your first choice is Jingcheng University."
"What are you talking about? My first choice was something my cat wrote randomly, and my second choice is what I really wanted to write," Rokko said, frowning.
What a coincidence, my cat can also do backflips.
Rokko chuckled as he looked at Riki: "The opposing team's beautiful captain specifically requested you. If you lose, you'd better prepare to transfer to another school."
Laughing and crying, fingers, Riki.
Riki was startled; he could almost imagine how the people from Haicheng University would evaluate him after he lost.
Riki, the deserter, step forward!
Riki, the traitor who serves two masters, step forward!
Riki sighed and returned to her seat.
"I saw Riki's band in the promotional video, you guys are amazing," said Hachiman Mairin.
"It's alright, we can't lose for now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the finals. The Beijing team has evolved again," Riki said.
"Is he an opponent?" Hachiman Mairin asked.
"A very strong opponent."
Looking at the confident smile still on her face, Hachiman Mairin couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of losing?"
Riki looked at Hailing: "Would Hailing be afraid?"
