It was turned off again on Sunday, so today is Monday again.
At 8:30 in the morning, the class bell has not yet rang in Class A's classroom, and the air is filled with a bit of laziness before class.
Uesugi Hara was sitting in his seat, his eyes blank, obviously in a daze.
Just yesterday, he completed the last details of the website, and Horikita Manabu confirmed that it was running correctly. After that, he handed over all the management rights of the website to Kushida Kikyo, and specifically told her to just say that she was hired to help operate it.
He was also afraid that something might go wrong with Kushida Kikyo. It would be okay if she was hired. After all, her interpersonal relationship was very suitable for this.
While Uesugi Hara was still thinking, class teacher Mashima Tomoya walked in.
"Everyone be quiet and look over. I'm going to make an announcement." Mashima Tomoya patted the podium and glanced across the classroom, "The results of the midterm exam are out - everyone did well and no one failed." When the last few words fell, he paused deliberately and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Katsuragi, post the score sheet on the wall over there later," Mashima Tomoya raised the form in his hand and tilted his chin towards the back wall of the classroom, "If you are interested, you can take a look later."
He handed the form to Katsuragi in the front row and tapped his fingers on the desk twice. "I won't waste any time. Let's quickly pack up and get ready for the next class." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and closed the door. The sound of leather heels tapping on the corridor floor gradually faded away.
It really comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
The silence in the classroom lasted only two seconds, and a rustling commotion immediately broke out in the back row. Some people could not help but stretched their necks, staring at the thin piece of paper in Katsuragi's hand.
Uesugi Hara did not pay attention to the commotion of Class A, but looked at the message sent by Kushida Kikyo on Terminal, which was about Ken Sudō being expelled from school, and did not pay attention. Then he clicked on the dialog box with Karuizawa Kei - the last message stayed a week ago, and there has been no new news since then.
It seems like this little yellow-haired girl is doing well these days?
Uesugi Hara raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking in his mind: I was really too indulgent towards her before, so I should put more pressure on her. Just taking money and not doing anything is not enough.
He immediately made a decision: Starting from next month, he will directly cut off the funds to Karuizawa Kei, and the settlement will be based on the weight of the intelligence she provided. Why not bully her? Come on~ everyone is just a literary Akito, why bother to fight and kill? It is not the time when force is supreme.
Without financial support, he wanted to see how the hot girl who always paid attention to dressing up could maintain her personality.
While thinking about it, Uesugi Hara had already sent a message to Kushida Kikyo, specifically telling the other party not to lend money to Karuizawa Kei. Faced with the follow-up question from Kushida, he only replied, "You just do what you do, what you do is up to you."
After sending it, he simply turned off Terminal.
Mainly because the girl in the front row suddenly turned around and her eyes fell directly on his face.
Uesugi Hara also raised his eyes and met hers.
The two of them just watched quietly, one second, two seconds... the time seemed to stretch out for a long time, a full two and a half minutes passed.
"Uesugi Hara." Morishita Ran spoke first, his voice was soft, but he didn't say any more. The last sound hung in the air, like a kite with a broken string.
Uesugi Hara naturally understood what she meant. "Just this afternoon, I'll call Kamuro and the others." He had not forgotten the treat he had agreed to last time. He just wanted to see how long she could bear it before she would take the initiative.
To deal with such eccentric people, you have to use some unconventional methods.
Morishita Ran responded "Oh" and turned back without saying another word.
Uesugi Hara didn't pay much attention, and he didn't expect to hear anything good from her weak little mouth.
Just when Uesugi Hara thought that this was the end of the story, Morishita Ran suddenly said again, "Uesugi Hara, aren't there swimming lessons this afternoon? Why don't you go and ask Sakayanagi Arisu if you are wearing water-resistant clothes today?"
The voice was neither high nor low, but like a pebble thrown into the water, it created clear ripples in the classroom.
The class that had been noisy just now suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be stretched a bit. Dozens of eyes drifted over, lingering on Uesugi Hara.
Kamuro Masumi next to her had buried her face in her arms, but her shoulders were shaking violently uncontrollably. It was obvious at a glance that she had probably seen all the stalemate and conversation just now, and she was struggling to hold back her laughter at the moment.
"Uesugi, it's been so long, are you still thinking about this?" Hashimoto turned around and winked at him.
Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes have glanced over, his eyes full of amusement, as if he was expecting some explanation from Uesugi Hara.
Seeing the little Lolita looking over, Uesugi Hara quickly raised his hand and waved it, with a deliberately relaxed tone in his voice. "Misunderstanding, purely a misunderstanding! Morishita, classmate, is joking. Don't take it seriously, please let it go."
"Really?" Sakayanagi Arisu's lips curved slightly, "Morishita's classmate's joke is quite unique."
Uesugi Hara felt a tightening in the back of her neck. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of Morishita Ran's back, sitting upright, without even moving her shoulder line, as if the words just now did not come from her mouth at all.
He could only force a smile and said, "Children are naturally prone to mischief... Miss Arisu has a lot of them, don't worry about it, don't worry about it."
"Of course I won't care about it." Sakayanagi gently turned the cane on her leg, "But--" she protracted her tone, "Since swimming lessons are mentioned, why not ask Uesugi Hara to take more care of me then? After all, I have limited legs and feet. If I slip by the pool, I will be in trouble."
Uesugi Hara raised his eyebrows. "Miss Arisu is joking, Class A's classmates will be willing to help." He didn't want to fall into this trap. This seemingly intimate entrustment might be acceptable to him.
Next to him, Kamuro Masumi finally raised his head, with a blush still on his face. When he saw both of them looking over him, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to sort out the textbooks, but his shoulders began to tremble irregularly again.
Sakayanagi Arisu didn't ask any more questions, just curled the corners of his lips and withdrew his gaze.
Seeing that this incident was over, Uesugi Hara finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Morishita Ran's back - this is definitely revenge! Damn it!
"Um, classmate Morishita..." Uesugi Hara lowered his voice, with a little bit of imperceptible pleading in his tone. He wanted to tell her not to make such a joke next time, but his little heart couldn't bear it.
"It's too noisy." Morishita Ran didn't look back. The soft sound of turning pages interrupted him, "Be quiet, Uesugi Hara. It's affecting my reading."
"... I'm sorry." Uesugi Hara swallowed the second half of his words, leaving only a dry apology.
