The words came out plainly from Luo Yu's mouth.
But this short sentence brought a huge shock to Ritsu Tainaka.
"Damn it! Is this the composure of a top student? Yui! I only have you left, let's stay together forever!"
"Ritsu!"
"Yui!"
Luo Yu shook his head, ignoring the two drama queens. Then he asked Hachiman Hikigaya, "Hachiman, what about you? I remember the mid-term exams for the whole school are together, how are you preparing? I heard your science isn't good, do you want me to teach you?"
"I guess you could call it a review," Hachiman Hikigaya replied lazily. "Besides, aren't you a first-year? How are you going to teach me second-year science?"
"I know a thing or two about second-year knowledge," Luo Yu said confidently.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're really annoying when you act like that?"
"Yes, they have."
"Then why do you still dare to act like this?"
"Because they can't beat me."
Hachiman Hikigaya was rendered speechless, so he decided to change the subject.
"Why don't you ask Yukino and Yui?"
"Yukino-senpai is the top student in our grade, just like me. I don't think she needs my concern."
"As Luo Yu-kun said, my grades are not a cause for concern," Yukino Yukinoshita chimed in. "On the other hand, Hachiman-kun, your science really isn't reassuring, just as Luo Yu-kun said."
"Don't worry, I'll pass for you to see," Hachiman Hikigaya declared grandly.
"What about me? Little Luo, why don't you ask me?" Yui Yuigahama looked at Luo Yu expectantly.
This dumpling is so troublesome.
"So, dumpling, how are you preparing?"
"Hee hee, I've also finished reviewing," the dumpling said with a silly grin.
On the day of the mid-term exams.
Luo Yu sat at his desk, bored. As for the exam paper, it had long been finished and placed aside.
"There are still fifteen minutes before we can hand in our papers," Luo Yu sighed, looking out the window.
Fortunately, this is the last subject. I wonder how everyone else did. They should all be fine. But Yui is definitely going to fail, she's single-threaded.
After the exam, in the Light Music Club's activity room.
"Finally free from exams!" Ritsu Tainaka stretched.
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "High school is suddenly so difficult, it's overwhelming."
"Yeah," Mio Akiyama also sighed.
"To be honest, I agree," Luo Yu nodded in agreement.
"You're the last person I want to hear say that."
"I heard from other classmates that you hand in your papers early for every subject, Luo Yu-kun."
Facing the girls' resentful gazes, Luo Yu felt unusually embarrassed. "I'm just agreeing with your point of view, aren't I?"
"But compared to me, shouldn't you be more concerned about that person over there? She looks like her soul has left her body," Luo Yu said, pointing to Yui Hirasawa, who was staring blankly in the corner.
"Did you do that badly on the exam?" Mio Akiyama asked with concern.
"Hehehe. It seems I'm the only one in the class who has to retake the exam," Yui Hirasawa raised her test paper.
"Twelve points?" Luo Yu took Yui Hirasawa's paper and glanced at it. "I knew you were usually a bit ditzy, Yui, but I didn't expect you to get a score like this."
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "It's... it's okay, it's just that your study method was wrong this time."
"Right, right! If you just try a little harder, the make-up exam will be easy to pass," Ritsu Tainaka cheered her on.
Yui Hirasawa: "I didn't study at all."
"You're throwing my comforting words back at me!" Ritsu Tainaka looked very angry.
"So, why didn't you study?" Ritsu Tainaka asked Yui Hirasawa curiously.
Luo Yu: "I think it's because Yui got distracted by other things. You can probably imagine the scene, right?"
The others imagined it in their minds: Yui Hirasawa was studying hard, but after less than a minute, she started doing something else.
"We can imagine it," the three girls said in unison.
"Like Luo Luo said, I was going to study hard, but during a break, I practiced the guitar, and I got so engrossed that I forgot everything else. So I didn't learn anything. However, I can play many chords now."
Yui Hirasawa's tone was full of pride.
"You should focus your concentration on studying!"
"Then how did you do, Little Ritsu?"
"Huh? Me?"
Ritsu Tainaka took out the test papers.
"As you can see, I passed with flying colors!"
Yui Hirasawa looked incredulous. "That's not like you at all, Ritsu."
"I thought you and I were on the same side..."
"Ohohoho..."
Ritsu's only response was a burst of laughter.
Mio Akiyama chuckled teasingly, "I wonder who it was crying to me the day before the exam."
"Don't bring up old stuff."
A hand patted Ritsu Tainaka's shoulder.
"Now that's the real Ritsu."
Then Yui Hirasawa turned to the three of them.
"Mio, Tsumu-tsumu, Roro, how did you guys do?"
"Here."
The two girls handed their test papers to Yui Hirasawa.
"Oh~ Oh!"
Yui Hirasawa exclaimed. Suddenly, she remembered someone hadn't produced their test paper yet, and looked at Luo Yu.
"Roro, what about yours?"
"Don't tell me you did so badly you're afraid to show it."
Ritsu Tainaka used provocation.
It was super effective! Just kidding.
The other two girls also looked at Luo Yu, clearly curious.
"Since you're all so curious, I'll show you."
Luo Yu couldn't resist their gazes and took out his test paper.
Chapter 26: Yui Hirasawa's Sister
"Full marks, full marks, all full marks!"
Luo Yu calmly took a sip of tea, interrupting Ritsu Tainaka, who was repeatedly saying 'full marks'.
"It's just full marks, why do you have to keep saying it?"
Ritsu Tainaka said with a displeased look, "Of course it matters! These are full marks! I've never gotten full marks in my life!"
"Mhm! Roro, you're amazing!" Yui Hirasawa nodded beside him like a pecking chick.
"Luo Yu is indeed amazing, just as expected of the top student in the grade," Mio Akiyama also praised him.
"Didn't I already tell you I was the top student in the grade?"
"But you never said you could get full marks on every subject."
"Oh, right. The teacher said I'm banned from club activities until I pass the makeup exam."
Yui Hirasawa said casually while eating snacks, revealing a very serious problem.
"Huh? Eh!"
The girls gasped.
"This is really good tea," Luo Yu continued to savor his tea, unaffected by the world's troubles.
"Why didn't you say something so important earlier!" Ritsu Tainaka exclaimed frantically.
Tsumugi Kotobuki asked, "When is the makeup exam?"
"Next Monday."
Mio Akiyama: "Then why aren't you studying! You're just sitting here eating snacks!"
"It's fine, it's fine. There's still plenty of time. I can come here every day."
Yui Hirasawa was unconcerned.
Ritsu Tainaka: "Show some sense of urgency!"
"Alright! In that case, let's all go to Yui's house this weekend to help her study."
Mio Akiyama: "Weekend..."
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "Yui's house..."
Yui Hirasawa: "Study?"
Ritsu Tainaka: "That's right. We haven't been to Yui's house yet, after all."
"That's right. Then, Yui, sorry to bother you this weekend." Mio Akiyama agreed.
Tsumugi Kotobuki: "Excuse me."
Yui Hirasawa smiled blankly and scratched her head.
"It's fine, it's fine, everyone's welcome to come hang out at my place."
"So, there's only one question left now."
Ritsu Tainaka looked at Luo Yu, who was drinking tea.
"Hey Luo Yu, how long are you going to keep drinking that! What do you think? Give us your answer."
Luo Yu put down his teacup.
"I heard you. We're going to Yui's place this weekend to help her study, right? I'll be there."
"Oh!" Yui Hirasawa's eyes lit up. "Luo Luo is so good at studying, you'll definitely help me pass."
"You need to rely on yourself!"
Weekend.
"Luo Yu, over here, over here!"
Ritsu Tainaka waved at Luo Yu from the intersection.
Luo Yu walked towards the three girls.
"Why are you guys always so early? I even made sure to come ten minutes early this time."
"It's actually you, Luo Yu, who's late," Ritsu Tainaka said, hands on her hips. "Everyone's here, let's go to Yui's house."
Mio Akiyama: "Yui messaged yesterday saying her parents are away on a business trip, so it's just her and her sister at home."
