Chapter 29
"Finally, finally succeeded!"
After three days of study and strategy gathering, the research progress of "Tears of the Ocean" finally reached a commendable 100%. Nakamori Akimi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Are you sure it's okay this time?"
[Of course, with the help of strategy points, we've thoroughly researched this bottle of "Tears of the Ocean." When the time comes, Ms. Nakamori, all you need to do is drop a drop of "Tears of the Ocean" from Fujishu's assistant into the bitter melon before adding the potion, and you'll be done!]
"Then I'll ask him out now!"
[Ms. Nakamori, you have exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Please maintain your persona and don't arouse suspicion.]
Overwhelmed by excitement, Nakamori Akimi calmed down and said, "Then I'll ask him out after I finish my exams."
On the day after the exam, Nakamori Akimi sent a message to Fuji Shusuke under the watchful eyes of Atobe Keigo.
[Qiushi: I accidentally bought one extra movie ticket. Are you free tomorrow?]
It was a very old-fashioned excuse, and even Nakamori Akimi could feel Keigo Atobe's speechless gaze.
The other party replied quickly.
[The man who committed suicide for love in the first episode: If it wasn’t intentional, I don’t have time (*^_^*)]
…
Nakamori Akimi heard the laughter next to him very clearly, a clear mockery, "So this is how you guys usually chat?"
"Isn't that how he talks to you?"
"Huh? How could he possibly be chatting with me like this?"
If Fuji were to chat with others in this obviously ambiguous tone, there would be a real problem.
"I've always felt that with his personality, he always uses this tone no matter who he's messaging." Nakamori Akimi said solemnly, "This is the tone of a so-called fishing beauty."
"What?"
This is an area that Keigo Atobe has never ventured into.
"Nothing, it has nothing to do with you."
After all, he has nothing to do with fishing.
[The man who committed suicide for love in episode one: Just kidding, Qiushi asked me out, of course I’m free.]
"We're on a date!"
Unlike his previous mood, Nakamori Akimi was extremely excited this time.
"We can take care of him tomorrow! However, if I take care of him during the day, I have to attend Sakurada's birthday party in the evening. Why will I be so busy tomorrow?"
Nakamori Akimi held her head in her hands. As someone who liked to stay at home during holidays, she had never experienced such a tight schedule.
"Being able to solve two annoying things in one day, doesn't this just show how efficient and hassle-free it is?"
The busy student union president is reviewing the student union's documents. After the midterm exams, the activities of various clubs have resumed, and matters such as personnel for the competition and funding have come in one after another.
"I...I can't explain it to a scroll king like you."
Speechless, Nakamori Akimi lowered his head to type again. After agreeing on the time and place with Fuji Shusuke, he emphasized "Tears of the Ocean".
"Nakamori, please inform me that we will hold a morning meeting next Monday to discuss the club's upcoming competition."
"receive."
The student union president's secretary smoothly switched interfaces and relayed the message truthfully in the student union chat group.
After Yishui said "got it", she joined the small group without Atobe Keigo.
[Publicity Committee Chairman: (I want to die.jpg)]
[Operations Committee Chairman: I’ll die after the meeting.]
[Activities Committee Chairperson: You'll want to die even more when you see your midterm results on Monday @Publicity Committee Chairperson]
[Operations Committee Chairman: Although I can see Atobe-sama’s perfect face early on Monday morning, I’d rather have him exist in my dreams (don’t want to wake up early.jpg)]
Shirai, the Discipline Committee member: Speaking of waking up early, we, the Discipline Committee members, are the worst off. We have to be the first ones to arrive at school on our duty days. I don't even dare to stay up late the night before. (crying.jpg)
From here, the topic deviated to the subject of getting up early and not getting enough sleep. Nakamori Akimi peeked at the screen for a moment, then withdrew, feeling bored.
"President, I'll go back first."
Although she is the secretary of the student council president, she feels that Atobe doesn't really need her and may even think she is in the way.
As expected, Atobe agreed without even looking up. After all, he had called her here because of the bitter melon, so she was really not needed here.
After getting permission, Nakamori Akimi immediately ran away.
Then when she opened the door, Sakurada Juri appeared in front of her with a beautiful face.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Keigo Atobe, who hadn't heard the sound of a door closing for a long time, looked up. Due to his height, he could only see the back of Akimi Nakamori blocking the door, and could not see what was in front of her.
"President, someone is looking for you."
Nakamori Akimi stepped back step by step, turned sideways, gave a mischievous smile to Atobe Keigo, revealing the person in front of him.
"Atobe."
Sakurada Juri didn't go in at the door, she just nodded slightly to greet him.
"Sakurada?" The moment he saw her, Atobe Keigo remembered what Nakamori Akimi had said to him that day, and his expression turned strange. "You looking for me?"
"No, I'm here to see Nakamori-san."
Nakamori Akimi, who couldn't leave because Sakurada Juri was blocking the door:?
"Looking for me?"
"Yes, after we met that day, I thought about it carefully and decided that I should personally hand you the invitation to show my sincerity."
Sakurada Juri handed her the invitation letter. The dark gold cover was gleaming and it was obvious that it was a carefully crafted letter.
You don't have to be so sincere...
"Thank you for your help."
Nakamori Akimi took it with a polite smile.
"Then I look forward to your coming."
It seemed that Sakurada Juri was really just here to deliver an invitation. As soon as she handed the thing to Nakamori Akimi, she didn't stay for even a second, said goodbye, and turned around and left.
Nakamori Akimi, holding the invitation letter, was puzzled.
"Does she really like you, Atobe?"
This doesn't seem to be the case.
"This game is full of loopholes. Don't worry about it. Go back."
Obviously, Keigo Atobe didn't care about who Sakurada Juri liked, and soon buried himself in the documents again.
What a workaholic! He loves work so much at such a young age. Will he have to work overtime like crazy when he grows up?
Nakamori Akimi sighed repeatedly and closed the door gently.
However, now is not the time to think about these things, tomorrow is the key.

"Qiushi, this way."
Nakamori Akimi deliberately arrived half an hour early, but she didn't expect Fuji Shusuke to arrive earlier than her.
"Zhou Zhu? You're here early."
"Because I want to see Qiushi soon."
I didn't know what to say, so I could only smile and change the subject.
"Have you brought the Tears of the Ocean?"
"You actually asked about the Tears of the Ocean first? I'm so sad, Qiushi."
"I don't believe it. You're obviously smiling happily."
After this period of exploration, Nakamori Akimi finally found a way to communicate with Fuji Shusuke in a friendly manner.
"Because I'm really happy to see Qiu Shi." Fuji Shusuke tilted his head and smiled, resting his chin on his hand. "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Here."
After getting the "Tears of the Ocean", Akimi Nakamori finally felt relieved. The first step had been completed, and the final plan would be completed after watching the movie.
"Then let's go and redeem the movie tickets."
Nakamori Akimi shook her phone and headed towards the nearby cinema. Behind her, Fuji Shusuke glanced back thoughtfully, then followed her with a smile.
A few seconds later, a head appeared out of nowhere at the place Fuji Shusuke had just looked at. His reflective glasses obscured his expression, and one could only see him writing something on his notebook.
He quietly followed the two people ahead, dialing one number after another, but his gossip was successfully reduced to zero after each call was hung up. After waiting at the cinema entrance for dozens of minutes, he finally waited for his few remaining accomplices.
"Fuck!" A fiery red-haired, cat-eyed boy ran over and grabbed his shoulders, shaking them. "Really? Is this true? Fuji is really dating a girl?"
Inui Sadaharu, shaken to the point of losing his soul, stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly at the entrance of the theater, "Inside..."
"Are you watching a movie?" Momoshiro Takeshi, who was also drawn in by the call, stroked his chin. "I should have finished playing basketball before coming here."
"Then go back and continue playing."
Ryoma Echizen, who was dragged over, turned around and was about to leave, but Momoshiro Takeshi grabbed his shoulders and put his arm around his neck.
"Since you're here, don't you want to see what Fuji-senpai's girlfriend looks like? I heard she's from another school."
"don't want."
Echizen Ryoma lowered the brim of his hat and refused decisively.
"Don't be like that, little one. We should care more about our teammates so that we can understand each other better and play tennis better."
This kind of thing has absolutely nothing to do with tennis, okay!
Echizen Ryoma lowered his head again and again, but knowing the nature of these seniors very well, he was forced to stay and wait for an hour.
“It’s coming out!”
Their excitement could not be concealed even in their lowered voices, and they quietly followed the two people all the way to a buffet restaurant.
Is it her illusion? Why does she always feel like someone is watching her?
Nakamori Akimi looked around calmly but found nothing unusual.
"Qiushi." Bu Er's voice brought her back, "What do you want to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything." She wasn't here to eat. "Just watch Zhou Zhu. You know my taste, don't you?"
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Let Fuji Shusuke figure it out on his own.
"By the way, Zhou Zhu, I saw last time that you really liked drinking bitter melon juice, so I specially squeezed a glass for you today."
Finally getting to the point, Nakamori Akimi took out the prepared bitter melon juice from his bag.
It turns out that their relationship is really being repaired, and now Qiushi even prepares things for him specially.
Fuji Shusuke's brows became softer. He tentatively reached out his hand and covered Nakamori Akimi's hand, touching it lightly. As long as Nakamori Akimi wanted, he could pull it out.
But, dead hand, hold on, don’t pull it out!
"By the way, Zhou Zhu, I want to eat eel, can you go get some for me?"
She now needs a little time to complete her crime... Phew, a rescue plan.
"Okay, then Qiushi, sit here for a while. I'll be back soon."
Fuji Shusuke was in a good mood and was willing to grant any request. He curled up his hands and left with light steps.
After Fuji Shusuke left, Nakamori Akimi immediately took out the "Tears of the Ocean" that Fuji Shusuke gave her. She was about to open the small bottle, but found that it was sealed!
How do I open this? Damn it!
Is the only option left to me? But if that doesn't work... never mind, let's take a gamble!
Racing against time, Nakamori Akimi immediately broke the cap of "Tears of the Ocean" and dripped the silver-blue liquid into the bitter melon juice.
She shook the cup to ensure it was fully mixed before she hid the broken "Tears of the Ocean" and pretended nothing had happened.
The movements are neat and clean, well done to Akimi Nakamori, maybe she has the talent to be an agent?
Nakamori Akimi thought shamelessly.
"Qiushi."
After Nakamori Akimi had finished everything, Fuji Shusuke came back with the eel.
"Thank you, Zhou Zhu," she said, taking the eel and pushing the bitter melon juice towards him. "Try it, Zhou Zhu. To ensure the taste, I didn't add anything. Come and see if it suits your taste."
Ensure the original flavor, after all, this is a bitter medicine in another sense.
"I'm looking forward to Qiushi's craftsmanship."
Facing Nakamori Akimi's expectant gaze, Fuji Shusuke picked up the cup of bitter melon juice and slowly brought it to his lips.
Regardless of the taste, Qiushi's intentions were fully received.
Drink, drink! Drink and you'll be free from all this!
Although the two people were affectionate and had ulterior motives, they unexpectedly struck a chord.
But just as Fuji Shusuke was about to drink the bitter melon juice, someone jumped out and screamed shrilly:
"You can't drink it, Bu Er, she poisoned you!"
