92 Chapter 74.1: Karuizawa's Inner Thoughts / Begging For Mercy?

The irritable Sudou left the classroom, leaving behind his classmates who glanced at each other from their desks.

They couldn't help but think that this red-haired classmate of theirs was still so unreasonable.

As for Hirata and the others by his desk—

"What is up with him? His attitude his actually so disgusting, especially when we just want to help him study with good intentions. For such a rude person, we should just ignore him, Hirata-san. It's not like he won't do the same to us too! Why should you keep begging him to join? If he wants to leave this school, he should just leave quickly."

It was Kei Karuizawa who had spoken, speaking dissatisfiedly.

She was very unhappy with Sudou at that moment.

Regardless of their personality differences, Ying Ye Zhenshi had already been offended by the boy, which was enough for her to be angry with him anyway.

Her attention eventually shifted to Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike.

These two, she didn't like either.

But it would be a bit much if she complained about them right now.

"Karuizawa-san, don't be like this. It's fine now."

Yosuke Hirata forced a smile.

He actually didn't want the girl to be saying such things, but there was no point in blaming her at this point in time, otherwise it could lead to an even bigger conflict.

"For your sake, whatever."

Karuizawa Megumi snorted while looking at Ike Kanji and his buddies.

"Sudou-san's behaviour is indeed a little too much. Ike-san, Yamauchi-san, will you guys join our study session?"

The two that were sitting in front of Sudou had started a conversation, which Kushida butted into with a gentle tone, looking to the ground pitifully.

But Ike and Yamauchi looked at Hirata when asked to join.

In fact, they wanted to refuse her offer outright because they didn't like Hirata, nor the hot bitch, and Karuizawa, the hot bitch, didn't actually enjoy their presence either.

But they hesitated and didn't refuse in the end.

On the one hand, it was because Kushida had been the one to ask them to join.

On the other hand, they had already fallen out with Sudou.

There was no need for them to care about the boy's feelings anymore when deciding to join the study group without him.

Although they still hated Hirata, Ike and Yamauchi were keenly aware that they needed to improve their exam performances to remain at ANHS.

"Okay."

"That's great! If there is anything concerning you, you can come and talk to me, and if you have anything you can't say when others are around, you can talk to me privately or find a place where no one is around."

Although Sudou had not yet joined, the trio had still managed to get Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki on board, which made Hirata Yosuke heave a sigh of relief.

In this way, there would at least be fewer people in the class who did not participate in their study session.

As long as the underachievers participated in the study group, Hirata was sure he could get everyone to a competent enough level to pass the exam, though achieving excellent grades would probably have to be put aside as an objective.

Karuizawa next to him didn't say much when she saw this scene.

Kei still respected Hirata's decision in this matter, and she also respected the task given to her by Ying Ye- to maintain a good relationship with her classmates in class D.

Although she didn't know why he had asked her to do this, she didn't think it was such an unreasonable task.

As for these two idiots, Ying Ye Zhenshi had told her previously that it was up to her how she managed a relationship with them.

It was fine if she directly left them alone.

But she would at least give them a chance before cutting them off.

She would have them bear the consequences for causing any relationship they had to sour, while in turn displaying to Ying Ye her willingness to carry out the assigned task.

'It seems that he has been contacting me a lot less recently. I wonder if it is because he is hanging out with other girls. Besides Kikyo, there doesn't seem to be any other girl fluttering around him. And it is probably unlikely for Kikyo to get into a relationship with him.'

Karuizawa Kei's train of thought had begun to run a strange track.

Especially when she noticed her classmate Hirata walking towards Ying Ye Zhenshi.

She knew exactly what their meeting would be about.

She obediently followed behind, looking at Ying Ye Zhenshi expectantly.

She thought that it would be great if they could study together.

Honestly, she actually missed the time when the duo were able to study together in the ward.

Their contact during those few days had allowed her feelings to marinate— something she was grateful for.

And as for contacting Ying Ye Zhenshi now, she had always wanted to get in touch properly, but she was worried about being nuisance to the boy.

After all, she had been rejected once before when she had tried to confess her love.

So, this bewildered girl felt a little troubled about how to get closer to Ying Ye.

"Ying Ye-kun."

Having persuaded two of his unruly classmates already had given Yosuke Hirata a little confidence boost, allowing him to continue to look for other students that required support.

He had just so happened to spot Ying Ye Zhenshi, who had been watching their joke of a show earlier and was planning to leave now.

"Would you like to join us?"

"No, I am quite confident in my academic ability. At the very least, I have basically learned everything there is to know high school already, so you don't have to worry about me."

Ying Ye Zhenshi said calmly.

What he said, however, caused Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki to feel a little sluggish.

'This is just the beginning of the school year, and he has already finished learning all the high school content? Is he cheating?'

His answer had also disappointed Karuizawa.

It made her want to pout so that the boy would get a feel for her disappointment.

But the reality of their situation held her back from doing so.

At least in class, they could not socialise or act friendly too much.

She had promised not to previously.

This was because of their relationship was found out, he had told her she would be implicated by his opponents, but she really didn't care about that.

But since Ying Ye had planned for their relationship to remain in the dark, Karuizawa could only keep it hidden.

And so, she looked on blankly at his response.

It seemed that the attitude she adopted was the same as when she had beenfacing Ike and the others before.

"Hey, Ying Ye-kun, that is really good! If that is the case, can you also join us and help some of our classmates improve their grades? What do you say?"

Kushida Kikyo approached them, and directly struck a question at Ying Ye Zhenshi.
