"Shiyu, you are really amazing. You ranked 20th in the grade in this monthly exam."

Michiru Hyodo opened her eyes wide, her face full of admiration, and her eyes flashed with envy.

"Nothing, you can do whatever you want."

Kasumigaoka Utaha slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of barely perceptible pride in her eyes.

"Tsk, I don't care."

Ying Lili curled her lips, but a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. She frowned and said stubbornly.

"Really?"

There was a sly flash in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes, and she revealed a wicked smile, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, ready to tease her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and Hyodo Michiru have been best friends since middle school, and now they are admitted to Shuchiin together. Although they are not in the same class, their relationship is not affected at all.

"The dragonfly comes, I fly, I fly, I fly, fly, fly."

Shin-chan, wearing a dragonfly costume, glided past Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"That person is so strange, is he from our grade?"

Eriri raised her eyebrows and asked, a puzzled look on her face.

"Of course, you don't even know him? He is Nohara Shinnosuke, who is very famous in our grade."

Hyodou Michiru said in surprise, her eyes wide open.

There was a thoughtful look in Eriri's eyes. She tried hard to recall, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"He's the one who dressed up as a crocodile during swimming class and scared the teacher so much that his legs cramped, and who also picked fruits in our back mountain while wearing a monkey costume." Michiru Hyodo reminded.

"Now that you mention it, I seem to remember. Is it Nohara Shinnosuke who revealed many teachers' secrets before? I heard that many teachers are afraid of him because of this incident."

Ying Lili suddenly reacted and her eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's him. Making friends with that kind of person would be so…"

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, this person seems to be from your class. Are you familiar with him?"

Eriri raised her chin slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

In their eyes, Shin-chan is definitely a weirdo, and making friends with him might be a shameful thing in their eyes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was conflicted, not knowing whether she should admit it or not.

If she admitted it, it might affect the relationship between the three of them, and she would be alienated by them, or even end up with a breakdown in the relationship. She frantically imagined all kinds of consequences, with worry in her eyes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought, why not just pretend not to know him for now.

"Hey, isn't that my good friend Kasumigaoka Utaha over there?"

Xiaoxin waved and shouted in surprise, his face full of excitement.

"It would be fine if they were just ordinary friends, but they are actually good friends."

Eriri and Michiru Hyodou looked at her meaningfully, with teasing in their eyes.

"Wait, this is... this is..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha explained in a panic, with an anxious look on her face and panic in her eyes.

"So you hang out with that kind of people, that's really..."

Ruined!

Kasumigaoka Utaha was disheartened and thought silently in her heart with a look of despair on her face.

"That's really interesting, Shiyu, since you know Nohara Shinnosuke, can you introduce him to us as well?"

Michiru Hyodo said expectantly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Yes, yes. Campus life would be very interesting if I were to hang out with people like that."

Eriri also said excitedly, her eyes sparkling.

"what?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't expect that things would develop completely differently from what she expected. A look of surprise appeared on her face and her mouth opened slightly.

"Xiao Shiyu, why are you ignoring me?"

Xiao Xin appeared behind her silently.

"Ah?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was frightened and jumped away quickly.

"Xiao Shiyu? You call me that in such an intimate way. What is your relationship?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's two friends asked with a gossipy smile on their faces, with curiosity shining in their eyes.

"We have a secret relationship."

Xiao Xin said shyly with a shy smile on his face.

"Oh?!"

Hyodou Michiru and Eriri's voices instantly lit up with excitement, their eyes widening.

"Don't say things that could lead to misunderstandings. We are really just friends."

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Shin-chan to shut up while trying to explain, with a look of helplessness on her face.

"Then why didn't you admit it just now?"

Ying Lili raised her chin slightly, with a probing look in her eyes.

"Yes, yes. They must be afraid that we will discover some secret, right?"

Michiru Hyodo also asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her face with her hands. She didn't understand why so many things recently always developed in directions she couldn't predict.

And all these things seem to be related to one person, that is...

"Huh? Where are the people?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and was about to ask Shin-chan to explain everything, but she found that Shin-chan disappeared in an instant as usual, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Tell us what happened between you quickly."

The two men held Kasumigaoka Utaha and forced her to confess everything. Their faces showed excitement and their eyes were full of anticipation.

It took a lot of effort for Utaha Kasumigaoka to finally explain clearly that there was no special relationship between her and Shin-chan.

She even revealed the fact that she had pretended to be her sister's married and asked for leave to attend Shimo Genda's book signing event.

"What? You actually went to Shimo Neda-sensei's book signing event! I really wanted to go that day, but my mom wouldn't lie for me."

Ying Lili was standing aside, her face full of envy and her eyes wide open.

"Why are you so excited? Aren't you from the comics industry?" Michiru Hyodo looked at her speechlessly.

"Shimo Genda-sensei has such a huge fan base, if I could get his permission to draw a book featuring the heroine in his book, my popularity would definitely explode."

Eriri's face was full of longing, her eyes were shining, she was immersed in beautiful fantasies, and a look of excitement appeared on her face.

"I think your social media accounts will be flooded with angry netizens."

Michiru Hyodou rolled her eyes and retorted mercilessly.

"I think I should go apologize to Shin-chan."

Unlike the two people who were playing and joking, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood aside, looking a little lonely. She spoke with a slight hesitation, with guilt in her eyes.

"Apologize? What for?"

Michiru Hyodo blinked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Because it seems that some people hate hypocritical and treacherous people the most."

Ying Lili was standing aside, speaking in a meaningful tone, raising her chin slightly.

"Eri, don't say that. Shiyu is just afraid that it will affect our relationship."

Michi Hyodo, who was standing by, quickly spoke up to stop them, a look of worry on her face.

"That's right. Those were the people I hated the most, but now I seem to be the same as them. And maybe Shin-chan discovered this and left."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked confused, spoke with a tone full of regret, and lowered her head slightly.

"Hey, how long are you going to drag on? If you want to apologize, go ahead and do it now!"

Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's weak appearance and became extremely angry, showing a little anger.

"Shiyu, go quickly, it's okay."

Michiru Hyodo patted her shoulder and comforted her softly with an encouraging smile on her face.

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly and looked in the direction where Shin-chan left, with determination in her eyes.

"Really? I can't stand that guy. He's usually a very opinionated person, but he always loses his temper at the critical moment."

Ying Lili said helplessly and shook her head slightly.

"Eri, you obviously care about Shiyu, but you say such harsh words. You are still as arrogant as ever."

Michiru Hyodo joked on the side with a smile on her face.

"Who said that? Who cares about her? No one!"

Eriri suddenly jumped up like a kitten with its fur standing on end and protested vigorously, with an annoyed look on her face.
