After arriving at school.
Shiina Mahiru quickly adjusted her state.
She became that dazzling Angel-sama again.
In class, she would sit up straight and listen attentively.
Just looking at her focused appearance made people feel excited.
Even Angel-sama is working hard, how can I dare slack off in class?
Of course,
Most people just looked at her and then showed expressions of fantasy, completely not listening to the lesson.
In physical education class, Shiina Mahiru was serious about every test.
And her grades were pretty good.
It's not an exaggeration to say she is athletic.
In terms of socializing.
Shiina Mahiru's position in the class is "Princess Highness."
Miura Yumiko, because of her arrogant personality, is called "Queen Majesty."
And Hayama is the Prince.
Well, this title would probably make Miura upset.
So it's better to call Hayama Hayato "King."
After all, with Hayama's kind personality, he is also very popular in the class.
It's only been a few days since school started, and he's already controlled the class's power.
Lin Xi doesn't have any ill feelings towards Hayama.
After all, when he speaks as the class monitor, Hayama Hayato gives him face and will actively maintain order.
Although it seems unnecessary, Lin Xi is happy to relax.
For Lin Xi.
If anyone really doesn't give him face and goes against him, then he will simply settle it with his fists.
Creating an image of being untouchable is also beneficial to his school life.
Why do girls like to associate with bad boys?
While honest good students are not so popular?
It's probably a matter of security.
Those who can fight bring a strange sense of security to ordinary girls.
Of course, top students don't count.
Especially someone like Shiina Mahiru, she wouldn't like bad boys.
Or rather, she doesn't like irresponsible people.
Her parents are those kinds of people.
They think she is a burden, an obstacle to their marriage. If that's the case, why didn't they stop her from being born in the first place?
They brought her into this world, but then ignored her.
Apart from money and a maid to take care of her, these emotionally detached parents have never given her a word of concern.
This leads to.
Lin Xi just sent her an umbrella in the rain, showing an unusual anxious and caring demeanor, which touched her.
Shiina Mahiru pretended to be calm.
Trying not to pay attention to Lin Xi.
But they are deskmates.
Sitting so close, she could see him with a glance.
Lin Xi is currently reading "Love Beat."
Seeing this name, Shiina Mahiru's heart skipped a beat.
Although Lin Xi said he wouldn't pester her.
But how can eyes lie?
Those caring eyes, if he didn't like her, then it would definitely be fake.
Otherwise, why would Ogiwara Sayu advise her to date Lin Xi?
So, Lin Xi is reading a love-themed light novel, is he planning to use the plot on her?
This silly girl, probably doesn't know that Lin Xi has already started using his tactics on her from the beginning.
Including the hug yesterday.
Full of tactics.
Shiina Mahiru thought she had found the truth.
But throughout the day.
Lin Xi only talked to her when they were carrying out the class monitor's responsibilities, and he didn't say anything else to her.
He really kept his word.
He only cares about her as a landlord, just fulfilling his responsibility and concern for the guests of Sakura Residence.
He has no intention of pestering her or pursuing her.
This discovery made Shiina Mahiru quite depressed.
She couldn't help but wonder.
Does Lin Xi really like her?
Why, knowing that he doesn't like her, instead of feeling relieved, she feels so uncomfortable?
She recalled the feeling of being tightly hugged by him yesterday.
Even more uncomfortable.
"That...Shiina-san, have I upset you?"
Lin Xi suddenly put down the light novel and turned to ask with confusion.
"Ah, no. Why do you ask?"
Shiina Mahiru replied in a slightly panicked tone, her eyes becoming evasive.
She didn't dare to meet his gaze.
Lin Xi looked depressed.
"Because you've been glaring at me with a very fierce look."
Hearing this, Shiina Mahiru blushed, she retracted her gaze and shook her head with a pretense of calmness.
"Not at all."
"I just didn't sleep well yesterday and wanted to try hard to look out the window to clear my vision, I wasn't glaring at you."
After saying this, she felt a pang of guilt, and the blush on her face became even more prominent.
"Oh, I see. Now that class hasn't started yet, do you want me to give you my seat so you can look at the scenery outside?"
"No need, I've already seen enough, thank you for your kindness."
After saying this, the two of them didn't speak much for the rest of the day.
Lin Xi wouldn't act overly affectionate towards Shiina Mahiru in class.
She needs to maintain her image as a good student, being too close to him would only bother her, and then she would stay away from him.
On the contrary, this way of getting along is just right.
Distance creates beauty.
Besides.
This kind of indifference at this time, isn't it also a tactic?
Sure enough.
Shiina Mahiru subconsciously glared at him in dissatisfaction.
Therefore.
For a whole day, Shiina Mahiru, who tried not to think about Lin Xi, was depressed all day.
But she couldn't ask directly.
What should she ask?
Ask him if he actually likes her, if he has any feelings for her?
She's a girl, okay? She still has to be decent and reserved.
Besides, he hasn't confessed to her yet.
They aren't dating.
She naturally felt embarrassed to ask him why he was so cold to her at school.
She has no right to ask.
She could only continue to be depressed alone.
