Chapter 65 Where did you get it from?

The next day.

Fang Li entered the classroom and immediately started tinkering with the digital camera he found yesterday.

Usually, when Fang Li came to the classroom, he would take out a detective novel borrowed from the library, just like Horikita Suzune, and read it by himself. But today, this sudden move caught the attention of Horikita Suzune.

"You're really not cut out for that,"

Horikita Suzune gave such a harsh evaluation.

But, this is probably the feeling that everyone who sees it will have, right?

Even Fang Li has self-awareness.

"I know I'm not someone who likes taking pictures, and messing around with digital cameras doesn't suit me at all, but you don't have the right to say that,"

Fang Li replied to Horikita Suzune without even looking up, continuing his work at hand.

This made Horikita Suzune stare at Fang Li, unable to find words to refute him.

There's nothing to be done. As Fang Li said, anyone has the right to criticize him, except Horikita Suzune.

Because this girl is also someone who is extremely unsuitable for digital cameras.

However, Horikita Suzune did not choose to remain silent after being rebuked by Fang Li, as she usually does.

"That isn't your thing, right? Where did you get it?"

Horikita Suzune asked, which was extremely rare for her to take the initiative to ask.

"Why?" Fang Li looked at her surprised and said, "Are you actually interested in this kind of thing?"

In the past, Horikita Suzune would not have been interested in digital cameras or anything like that, and would only do things that she deemed meaningful.

In fact, Horikita Suzune now only does things that she considers meaningful.

In other words, Horikita Suzune thinks that what Fang Li is doing is meaningful.

"Others aside, since you suddenly did something like this, it must involve a significant problem, right?"

Based on this idea, Horikita Suzune questioned Fang Li.

By now, even if Horikita Suzune didn't want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Fang Li was a very capable person.

Fang Li's ability to discover anomalies in this school and find secrets and information one after another is already beyond the level of an ordinary person.

Horikita Suzune believed that Fang Li must have discovered something again this time.

Therefore, this girl, who usually doesn't care about other people's business,took a rare initiative to ask.

After all, Horikita Suzune doesn't want to fall behind others anymore.

Unfortunately,

"It's a personal matter of mine this time, nothing of value to you," said Fang Li, with a nonchalant tone before burying himself back into his work.

This caused Horikita Suzune to rise a brow and stare intently at Fang Li for a while before finally giving up.

"Well, if it's your personal matter, then it's none of my business," she said, turning her attention back to her book.

Aside from Horikita Suzune, the rest of the class had also noticed Fang Li's unusual behavior but chose not to say anything.

Kushida Kikyou seemed curious, but didn't ask any questions due to the presence of her friends.

Meanwhile, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was engrossed in a rare socializing game with Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, mixing with them like usual.

The rest of the class chatted about various topics, such as the incoming private point transfer scheduled for tomorrow.

"Hopefully, we'll get some point transfered next month!"

"Isn't it fine? Our class points must have some surplus, right?"

"Who... who knows..."

As the students conversed on such matters, they acknowledged that tomorrow was the beginning of a new month, and their private points transfer date was imminent.

In comparison to this, Fang Li's unusual behavior wasn't a big deal. Though it drew attention from several people, apart from Horikita Suzune, nobody had come to inquire about it.

As time passed, class was about to begin.

Immediately...

"That... that..."

A voice, full of timidity but seemingly filled with courage, came from beside Fang Li.

Fang Li snapped out of his thoughts, stopped his work again, turned his head, and looked to his right this time, not towards Horikita Suzune, who was seated to his left.

There, Sakura Airi sat in her seat, with her head bowed and a nervous look on her face. Her gaze, beneath her glasses, kept darting towards Fang Li.

More accurately, her gaze was fixed on the digital camera in Fang Li's hand.

This introverted and shy girl stared at the camera in Fang Li's hand, twisting her fingers and avoiding his gaze. She spoke in a very low voice.

"That... that camera..."

Sakura Airi, with a shaky and almost fainting posture, tried to say something to Fang Li, but couldn't quite finish.

It was clear that Sakura Airi was afraid.

Fang Li was puzzled and raised the camera in his hand. "What's wrong with this camera?" he asked.

In response, Sakura Airi gave an even more timid answer.

"Nothing... it's just that I find it very peculiar..."

Peculiar?

Like Horikita Suzune, did she find it peculiar that Fang Li was playing around with a digital camera, which seemed to be out of character for him?

Or...

"I found this camera," Fang Li said, looking at Sakura Airi, and continued, "Is it yours?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura Airi suddenly exerted force on her twisting fingers and almost instinctively shook her head.

"No... it's not mine!"

Although she said that, Sakura Airi's performance seemed a bit too panicked.

This made Fang Li narrow his eyes.

Finally, Fang Li decided to say this.

"Sakura-san, do you know a lot about cameras?"

Fang Li's words made Sakura Airi even more nervous.

"Why... why do you ask that?" Sakura Airi desperately replied.

But in the next moment, Fang Li's answer made Sakura Airi feel a great sense of unease.

"Because I want to fix this camera," Fang Li said, "It seems to have been dropped and is now completely malfunctioning. I can't even turn it on or use it."

Sakura Airi heard this clearly.

"Dropped... it's broken...!?"

In that moment, Sakura Airi seemed to be in disbelief. She turned her head forcefully, her eyes wide open, and looked at Fang Li.

Fang Li didn't say much, but simply demonstrated to Sakura Airi that the camera was indeed broken and could not be turned on.

"How...how come?..."

This made her face turn slightly pale.
