These days, Furukawa Yui has been in a very bad mood.
As Valentine's Day approaches, the atmosphere in the school begins to become more and more frivolous. Not only do the boys start discussing how many chocolates they will receive, but even the girls start discussing who to give chocolates to. This is quite unpleasant to Yui Kotegawa.
Is this still a school?
In the past, Kotegawa Yui would have forced a ban long ago, but now she found that not only the students in the class, but even the girls on the Disciplinary Committee were discussing the same thing in private. However, they also knew that Kotegawa Yui did not like these topics, so they discussed them secretly away from her.
But this made Kotegawa Yui feel even more uncomfortable. She didn't want to stay in the class, nor did she want to be avoided in the discipline committee, so she simply came to the rooftop alone, wanting to find some peace and quiet there.
However, what Kotegawa Yui didn't expect was that as soon as she arrived at the rooftop, she saw the person she least wanted to see.
"Hey, Kotegawa? It's strange that you would come to the rooftop."
Fang Zheng leaned against the wall, looking at Kotegawa Yui curiously, and stretched at the same time. He was taking a nap just now, but Kotegawa Yui ran in aggressively, which scared him. He thought she had some shameful problem like Kushida Kikyo.
"snort!"
Seeing Fang Zheng, Kotegawa Yui became even more furious. Looking at his appearance, Kotegawa Yui stomped his feet angrily and turned to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, what's wrong with you? Are you like a gunpowder? I haven't offended you recently."
Seeing Kotegawa Yui's angry look, Fang Zheng was also a little confused. Although the relationship between the Student Union and the Discipline Committee was not very good after he took office, it was relatively normal. Moreover, there had been no trouble recently, so why was Kotegawa Yui so aggressive?
"It's the same with you anyway!"
It would have been fine if Fang Zheng didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Kotegawa Yui's nameless evil fire immediately shot towards him.
"All men are shameless! You are the same. You are just waiting for girls to give you chocolates anyway!"
"???"
Fang Zheng was confused when he heard what Kotegawa Yui said. It's none of your business if a girl gives me chocolates, right? Lala hasn't said anything yet, why are you acting jealous?
"Ah... sorry."
Noticing Fang Zheng's puzzled look, Furukawa Yui also lowered her head. Perhaps she had gradually calmed down after getting angry at Fang Zheng. She now realized that her previous behavior was obviously unreasonable.
"It's okay. What happened? It's rare to see you so angry."
Fang Zheng also developed a gossipy mentality at this moment. He stood up and walked to the side of Kotegawa Yui, looking at her curiously. Although Kotegawa Yui was always serious and easy to get angry, Fang Zheng had never seen her get so angry before. He was sure that if the students saw this side of Kotegawa Yui, they would probably avoid her in the future.
"What happened? Everything should be fine at school. If there's anything you can't handle, you can discuss it with our student union."
"…It's not a big deal…"
Under normal circumstances, Kotegawa Yui probably wouldn't want to say much to Fang Zheng, but perhaps because of the guilt she felt for Fang Zheng's inexplicable anger just now, she somehow confessed her inner frustration and dissatisfaction to Fang Zheng.
"Hmm... so you think school should be a place for learning, and students shouldn't focus on romance?"
"Yeah, but others... don't see it that way at all."
At this point, Kotegawa Yui felt a little aggrieved. In fact, what made her most uncomfortable was that she seemed to be the only one in the whole school who didn't like this, while everyone else seemed to be full of interest in it. This made Kotegawa Yui start to doubt whether everyone was wrong or she was sick.
"That's not wrong. Although the main task of the school is indeed to teach, it is also important to make friends here and work together. Just like those sports clubs and art clubs, according to what you said, they all affect learning, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are useless."
Having said this, Fang Zheng looked at Kotegawa Yui.
"Besides that, you must have gained other things in school besides studying, such as making friends..."
“…”
Fang Zheng originally wanted to end with some inspirational lines from Japanese anime, but he didn't expect that Furukawa Yui's face would turn pale, and she lowered her head while biting her lip.
"...No way, you don't have any friends at all."
"…If you mean the kind of friends who hang out together, I don't have any."
“…Haha…”
Hearing Kotegawa Yui's unflinching answer, Fang Zheng sighed. Thinking carefully, he also realized that when he saw Kotegawa Yui on weekdays, she was alone. She only acted with others during discipline inspections. However, the relationship between those people and her was more like that of a superior and a subordinate...
Well, it seems that Japanese youth inspirational lines are useless.
It's like in a Japanese drama where the protagonist encourages someone "You are not alone, you still have friends", and the other person retorts "I don't have any friends", and the conversation is immediately killed.
By the way, I remember that when Little Wing was training, Fang Zheng also chatted with Toriumi Sakura. According to her, Kotegawa Yui was also a very isolated person in the class. She always kept to herself on weekdays, and I never saw her being close to anyone.
"Well, you don't have to take it so seriously. Just treat Valentine's Day as an event like a cultural festival or a sports festival."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and then spoke.
"How you decide to do things is your own business. I have no intention of changing your approach. But if you find this painful, then change your mindset and think about it from other perspectives. Moreover, even if it is Valentine's Day, it doesn't mean that everyone should give love chocolates. You can also give chocolates to those who care about you and take care of you on a daily basis. According to what you said, if everyone who gave chocolates confessed their love, then the school would have been full of couples by now. So you don't have to take it so seriously. This is just a way for students to relax themselves, and the teachers haven't banned it, right?"
"Relax yourself... I still think this is a very rash action. The main job of students is to study, not to focus on dating..."
"Hahaha, everyone has different ideas. If everyone in this world thought the same as you, Kotegawa, then the chocolate seller would have gone out of business long ago. By the way, Kotegawa, you could have given us some chocolates as well."
"Me? Chocolates? For whom?"
It has to be said that when Kotegawa Yui heard Fang Zheng's words, she was shocked.
"The members of the Discipline Committee have been tossing and turning with you all the time. It's really tiring. I think as the head of the Discipline Committee, you should also comfort your subordinates."
The student union has only three people so far, but as the school's highest-level student self-government organization, they don't need many people. The same was true for the original magic high school, where the student union had only four or five people to manage dozens or hundreds of clubs. The student union was mainly responsible for issuing instructions, and the discipline committee and club representatives were responsible for conveying and taking action.
The same is true for Cainan High School, so the number of people in the Discipline Committee is relatively much larger than that of the Student Union.
Hearing this, Kotegawa Yui calmed down. It must be said that Fang Zheng's suggestion was very good. If he said that he wanted to give chocolates to the classmates, Kotegawa Yui might still be a little resistant. After all, with her personality, she didn't get along well with the classmates.
But when Fang Zheng said he wanted to give chocolates to the discipline committee members, Kotegawa Yui was more likely to accept it. After all, she was just a rigid person, not completely ignorant of the ways of the world. Although the relationship between the members of the discipline committee and herself was not close, every time it was a proposal initiated by herself, they were also very serious in implementing it. If it was to thank them, giving them some chocolates was not a bad idea.
But there is one problem...
“I don’t know how to make chocolate…”
"You can learn it, or if you find it troublesome, just buy a bunch of chocolates and give them away. Why not just go to the supermarket, buy a bag of chocolates, and give them away?"
"Um……"
After hearing Fang Zheng's solution, Kotegawa Yui's expression looked better. She thought for a moment and nodded.
"I see. I'll think about it."
After saying this, Kotegawa Yui turned around and walked down the rooftop, while Fang Zheng also stretched and turned to look to the side.
"Okay, enough peeking, come out."
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kushida Kikyo came out from behind the corner on the other side with a smile on her face.
"As expected of the president, he even managed to take down Kotegawa-san."
"Are you itchy?"
Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Kushida Kikyo.
"Okay, what do you want to talk to me about? You don't want to vent some pressure again, do you?"
"That's not the case, but our student union has two lovely guests, so I came to see you, President. I didn't expect to see an unexpected scene."
As she spoke, Kushida Kikyo stared at Fang Zheng and winked at him with a weird smile.
"guest?"
Fang Zheng ignored Kushida Kikyo's teasing and quickly paid attention to the hidden meaning in her words.
"Who are you talking about?"
"You'll know when you go and see."
After returning to the student council room, Fang Zheng finally understood why Kushida Kikyo had that meaningful smile on her face before.
"Ah, hello, President Yuki!!"
Looking at Fang Zheng in front of him, Yotsuya Kenko lowered his head.
"I'm Yotsuya Miko from Class 1-C. Um... I want to join the student council. Please give me your guidance!"
“……???”
Looking at Yotsuya Miko in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely confused.
What is going on?
