The people around watching the show basically thought that Sato Kazuya couldn't succeed. After all, Shiina Mahiru, a beautiful girl who was several streets ahead of other girls, couldn't be judged by common sense. And the facts proved that he failed.
Moreover, Sato Kazuya made such a big fuss, but ended up in failure. It's conceivable that this guy has become famous, but he's a negative example.
Just when everyone thought that this farce was over and they could go about their own business, they saw Shiina Mahiru stop in front of Zhao Hao and show a genuine smile, different from the fake smile she used to deal with Sato Kazuya before.
This made the people around them stop and continue to eat melon.
Shiina Mahiru said: "Zhao Hao-senpai, I brought two lunch boxes today. I saw you going to the cafeteria to eat often these past two days, so I made an extra lunch box today and brought it. I wanted to give it to you, as a thank you for your help last time."
Actually, she had been bringing two lunch boxes every day, and the other one was for Zhao Hao.
But she just didn't have the courage to find Zhao Hao, because it was too abrupt, and she was afraid of giving him a bad impression. So, she just put the second lunch box in her bag and didn't take it out. She ate it herself at night when she got home.
But today she happened to meet him here, so Shiina Mahiru plucked up the courage to say it. After saying it, she felt much more relaxed.
Zhao Hao didn't expect Shiina Mahiru to bring him lunch today. She was able to bring her own lunch, so her cooking must be good, it should be better than eating the cafeteria's big pot of rice.
So, he didn't hesitate to agree: "Don't mention it about last time, and I'll take the lunch box."
Seeing Zhao Hao agree to take her lunch box, Shiina Mahiru happily put her hands together in front of her chest and said: "That's great, I'll give it to you after class at noon. See you then."
Shiina Mahiru happily left, leaving the melon-eating students with bewildered faces.
She just rejected Sato Kazuya's confession and now she's going to bring lunch to Zhao Hao. The difference between the two is too big! And this lunch box, it looks like it's a planned thing.
A second-year male student envied: "As expected of Zhao Hao-senpai, the angel junior is bringing him lunch, it's truly enviable."
Another male student sympathized: "Compared to the guy who just confessed, it's a stark contrast."
"Kazuya! Kazuya!"
"Hey Kazuya, cheer up."
Sato Kazuya heard Shiina Mahiru and Zhao Hao's conversation. He knew that the angel he liked actually brought lunch to someone else. His heart received another 10,000 points of damage, and he fainted on the spot.
"Zhao Hao-senpai."
In Class 2 of Year 1, Katsura Kotonoha stood by the window, looking worriedly at Zhao Hao and Shiina Mahiru's interaction. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she felt a little uneasy seeing Zhao Hao talking to other beautiful women.
Then, she turned around and prepared to go back to her seat. As she turned, Katsura Kotonoha happened to see the four people, Kato, who had bullied her until yesterday.
But the four people, Kato, saw Katsura Kotonoha and acted like mice seeing a cat, they didn't dare to look at her directly and turned around to leave.
After seeing Katsura Kotonoha's powerful Iaijutsu yesterday afternoon, they were scared. It was a one-hit kill move, a wooden sword could even cut an apple in half, and you've learned all this, why didn't you say so earlier? Who would dare to bully you?
Seeing Kato and the others avoiding her, Katsura Kotonoha didn't hold any grudges. She was a kind person and wouldn't seek revenge. Since it was over, it was over.
It's just that when she was in class, Katsura Kotonoha would often get distracted. Zhao Hao's image kept flashing in her mind. Thinking about being able to see him and talk to him after school in the club gave her a sense of anticipation. She didn't know why she kept thinking about Zhao Hao, could it be that she was sick?
"Katsura-san, please tell me how to do this problem and give other students a demonstration."
The teacher who was in class saw that Katsura Kotonoha, who always studied seriously, was daydreaming, so he called her to answer a question to get her to focus.
"Yes."
Although Katsura Kotonoha was distracted, she was a good student and immediately solved the problem given by the teacher.
At noon, the bell rang for the end of class, Zhao Hao's class, Sakurajima Mai stood up, with a relaxed tone, said: "I envy you, you're actually getting lunch brought by a Year 1 junior, while I can only eat cafeteria food, sigh."
"Let's just say that I'm more popular than you in school."
After saying that, Zhao Hao got up and went to the classroom door. When he reached the door, Shiina Mahiru came with the lunch box. The passing male students looked at Zhao Hao with envy, while the female students looked at Shiina Mahiru with envy.
"Senpai, this is your lunch box."
"Thank you, let's go to the rooftop to eat."
"Yeah, okay."
Looking at the two of them leaving, Sakurajima Mai let out a heavy sigh. Hmph, just a mere Zhao Hao, who cares.
You guys go eat lunch boxes, I'll eat at the cafeteria, the cafeteria has more dishes than your lunch box!
The two of them came to the rooftop and saw a person already standing on the rooftop.
Zhao Hao frowned slightly, "Gouromoku Shin'ya."
Is that a teacher?
Shiina Mahiru looked at Gouromoku Shin'ya's clothes and back, he didn't look like a student or an outsider, so he must be a teacher within the school.
Gouromoku Shin'ya turned around, with a defiant smile: "Zhao Hao-kun, although I'm a new teacher, I'm your teacher after all, how can you call me by my full name? That's disrespectful."
Zhao Hao disdainfully said: "Teacher? If you can be a teacher, then the entire faculty office is a disaster. You can't even get a formal teacher's license, stop trying to deceive people. If you have the ability, go get a formal license and come back."
Naturally, Gouromoku Shin'ya didn't take Zhao Hao's words seriously. He shifted his gaze to Shiina Mahiru and said, "Heh, the student next to you is pretty cute."
Shiina Mahiru said to him: "Thank you, teacher, for the compliment."
However, she could tell that this teacher and Zhao Hao didn't get along, and this teacher didn't come through legitimate channels.
Gouromoku Shin'ya said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, she's much more polite than Zhao Hao that brat. Well, I won't bother you on your date on the rooftop, I'll go now."
Shiina Mahiru didn't ask any further, and the two of them went to sit on the bench.
Zhao Hao thought to himself when he'd find a chance to completely get rid of Gouromoku. He opened his lunch box, and was surprised by the abundance of food.
Shiina Mahiru said in a gentle voice: "I don't know what senpai likes to eat, so I just made some random things. How does it taste?"
"It's very plentiful, it looks like you put a lot of effort into it. I won't be polite then."
Zhao Hao picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, and the taste immediately filled his mouth. It was more delicious than the food Yukinoshita Yukino made last time. Although the lunch box was cold, it couldn't cover up the aroma.
