The student council president's words woke Yan Xi up.
Become the student council president to earn respect from others?
Being the student council president is no match for the usefulness of a stand-in.
He didn't care about respect, he just simply disliked these people.
Seeing them look down upon him yet act with reverence was a special kind of flavor.
Yan Xi didn't have any strange hobbies, the four classmates generously contributed 500,000 yen in cash to him.
On the way back to the classroom, Yan Xi would give someone a beating if he disliked them. At this rate, wouldn't he be the one calling the shots in the future of Japan?
People often lose themselves in power when they gain great strength, becoming slaves to their desires.
Yan Xi was a little bit immersed in it right now, thankfully he was a lazy bum and came to his senses.
Yan Xi had no desire to rule the world.
What was he pursuing? He himself didn't know the answer.
If you have to say, doing what he wanted to do, finding true freedom?
Tsk, it sounds like a middle schooler.
Regardless, under the power of the Heavenly Gate, Yan Xi's learning environment greatly improved.
Those who had looked down on him before now looked at him with a subtle respect.
After the afternoon classes, Yan Xi packed his bag and prepared to go home.
Tomorrow was Saturday, he had a date with Sakurajima Mai.
At that moment, his phone buzzed, it was a message from Kosaka Honoka.
Kosaka Honoka: "Need backup, come quickly!"
This wording felt like a prank.
Yan Xi typed a reply with one hand, accidentally bumped into someone who was fooling around in the classroom.
"Ah, sorry sorry, are you okay."
Yan Xi: "..."
This must be a prank by the god of romantic comedy, and it just had to be Fujiwara Chika who bumped into him.
Sure enough, most of the students who were still in the classroom looked at him with strange eyes.
It was different from the disdainful mocking look before, now it was more like a 'motherly smile'.
"I'm fine." Yan Xi shook his head.
Fujiwara Chika, oblivious to the so-called rumors, didn't notice the subtle atmosphere.
This carefree, worry-free attitude, he kinda envied it.
"Good to hear it."
Fujiwara Chika's mind was only filled with things she was interested in, Yan Xi was clearly not on that list. After a few words of greeting, she ran out of the classroom, laughing and joking with her friends.
Yan Xi thought again, being rumored to have a crush on Fujiwara Chika was truly a shameful thing.
He left the school with his bag, and Kosaka Honoka called him directly.
"What's up?"
Kosaka Honoka asked: "Atsu, where are you?"
"At the school gate."
"So fast!"
"It's my school gate."
"Okay, I'm waiting for you at the entrance of Otonokizaka School."
She didn't give Yan Xi a chance to retort and hung up the phone.
Yan Xi: "..."
Actually, he had been thinking about excuses to refuse.
Shuchiin and Otonokizaka were both in Chiyoda Ward, it only took Yan Xi ten minutes to get there.
"Atsu, over here over here."
Kosaka Honoka waved to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi went over and asked: "Why did you call me in such a hurry?"
Kosaka Honoka looked tense and serious, and said: "I'm facing an unprecedented crisis!"
"For example?"
"Umi and Kotori refused to form a school idol group with me!" Kosaka Honoka said excitedly.
"..."
"What do you mean 'just that', why are you so calm!"
Yan Xi thought, because he had read the original.
He rubbed his temples and said: "A spur-of-the-moment decision, even with the best of friends, you wouldn't agree hastily."
"It's not a spur-of-the-moment decision!" Kosaka Honoka pouted in anger.
"Then let them see your determination, you are the best of friends, right." Yan Xi said.
Kosaka Honoka's eyes lit up, she felt that Yan Xi's words made sense.
"What should I do then?" Kosaka Honoka asked.
"Ask yourself." Yan Xi laughed helplessly.
Kosaka Honoka nodded in understanding, but she didn't look very smart.
Is this question too difficult for her?
Yan Xi shook his head, Kosaka Honoka didn't have to do anything special, her inherent leadership would naturally attract like-minded companions.
Just like the law of stand-in users attracting each other.
"I understand!" Kosaka Honoka shouted.
"...What do you understand?"
"Let Atsu accompany me to find Umi and Kotori, you convey my determination!"
Yan Xi: "??"
You are a little smart aleck!
Facing Yan Xi's disbelief, Kosaka Honoka said embarrassedly: "It feels like Atsu's words are more persuasive, like a MLM salesperson going door-to-door to recommend products to their mothers."
Yan Xi was speechless, how can a MLM boss have the face to say such a thing!
"I'm going to convince them? That's not good."
"Atsu, help me~ Please please."
Spoiled women get what they want, Kosaka Honoka had mastered this instinctively.
Yan Xi conceded defeat and agreed to help appropriately.
"Then I'll call Umi and Kotori out tomorrow!" Kosaka Honoka said.
"But... no." Yan Xi remembered his date with Sakurajima Mai.
If he stood her up, he felt something bad would happen.
"I have other plans tomorrow, let's go out on the weekend." Yan Xi said.
"Alright then." Kosaka Honoka blinked, and asked: "Come to my house today?"
"...I refuse."
…
…
Yan Xi arrived at the downstairs of his apartment building and saw Gotou Ichiri circling around the entrance of the Exhibition Hall.
The socially awkward person didn't dare open the door and go in alone, so she wanted to enter with other customers.
Yan Xi didn't understand this kind of psychology, he just took out his phone and took photos and videos.
"Click~"
"Eh?"
Gotou Ichiri looked up at the sound, and met eyes with Yan Xi who was holding his phone.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Yan Xi swore that he would replace this phone tomorrow!
He clearly turned on silent mode!
"Yo."
The stalemate was broken by Yan Xi's greeting, Gotou Ichiri came to her senses and quickly lowered her head.
She didn't dare to make eye contact with people, let alone looking up.
"Go、good afternoon..." Gotou Ichiri said softly.
"What did you say?"
At this distance and volume, it's no wonder he couldn't hear it!
"Ah, th、that... nothing." Gotou Ichiri chose to remain silent.
She couldn't even deal with people of the same sex, she was even more flustered when facing a handsome guy.
Yan Xi knew Gotou Ichiri's personality, so he wasn't surprised, he even found her more interesting to tease.
Full of bad taste.
