Chapter 25: Who in their right mind falls in love?
Lunchtime.
Class D students were eating lunch in small groups.
And the subject of their discussion was Mu Chen, who was sleeping with his head on his desk.
Behind Mu Chen's desk.
At this moment, Miss Kaguya Shinomiya was having lunch with her Little Secretary, Hayasaka Ai.
"Hayasaka, how long do you think he'll be awake?"
Kaguya Shinomiya elegantly took a bite of rice and asked Hayasaka Ai beside her.
"Judging by Classmate Mu Chen's dark circles this morning, he probably played games all night, so at this time, as long as the speaking voice isn't loud, he basically won't wake up."
Hayasaka Ai replied earnestly, rolling her dead fish eyes, while taking a bite of fried shrimp.
"Mmm~~"
At the same time, Mu Chen woke up groggily.
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
Kaguya Shinomiya: "..."
"It seems you miscalculated, Hayasaka."
Kaguya Shinomiya covered her mouth and chuckled.
Hayasaka Ai also didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly, then fell silent, lowering her head to eat her bento.
Mu Chen woke up groggily, his blurry vision gradually clearing. He first glanced at the classmates in the classroom, then checked the time.
"It's already noon."
With a lazy expression, Mu Chen propped his right hand on his cheek.
Grumble~~
His stomach rumbled, and only then did Mu Chen remember that he hadn't brought lunch.
Glancing at the invisible beauty "Megumi the Saint" at the desk in front of him, Mu Chen extended his left hand and tapped her back.
Megumi the Saint froze, then turned around expressionlessly, giving Mu Chen a questioning look.
"Classmate Mu Chen, what's wrong?"
The classmates who were observing Mu Chen were stunned.
They looked at Katou Megumi, with question marks appearing above their heads.
Who is this person? Our classmate?
How come we've never seen her?
The classmates felt confused.
"Classmate Katou Megumi, I didn't bring lunch today. Can you give me something to eat?"
Mu Chen showed his pearly white teeth.
"Of course."
Katou Megumi nodded, picked up her lunchbox, and turned to place it on Mu Chen's desk.
"Speaking of which, Classmate Mu Chen is the first classmate to remember my name."
Katou Megumi's lips curved slightly.
She felt a little happy inside.
That heroine-like smile, like a painting, also brightened Mu Chen's mood considerably.
"You're right in front of me, of course I remember!"
Mu Chen said, picking up the chopsticks from the bento and starting to eat, not caring whether the chopsticks had been used or not.
Katou Megumi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't.
Meanwhile, behind Mu Chen's desk.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who was eating, blushed.
This... this is... Miss Kaguya, whose love-brain was almost zero, seemed to have thought of something, and her head felt dizzy.
Hayasaka Ai glanced at her young mistress expressionlessly.
My young mistress is sometimes really cute~
Thinking to herself, Hayasaka Ai continued to eat.
After a couple of bites, Mu Chen pushed it back to Megumi the Saint: "Thank you, Classmate Katou."
"You're welcome."
Megumi the Saint remained expressionless, picked up the chopsticks, hesitated for a long time, then picked up an octopus sausage and ate it in small bites.
Mu Chen, meanwhile, glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Although Megumi the Saint had shared her lunch with him, he still wasn't full.
But when he saw Kaguya Shinomiya's face flushed, and he remembered his actions just now, he instantly understood something.
Immediately after... the speaking tone of a certain Monkey General came from his mouth.
"What's going on~?"
"Why is young mistress blushing?"
"Could it be that she's thinking of something bad?"
"Could it be..."
Mu Chen showed a mischievous expression, proudly raised his head, looked down at the young mistress, aiming his nose at her, "Young mistress has never been in love, right~?"
"No way, no way, who hasn't been in love these days~?"
Speaking in the tone of Admiral Kizaru, it was truly annoying.
And Mu Chen's words instantly hit a sore spot for the entire class!
The reason was simple... everyone in this class had never been in love!
Noticing the awkward atmosphere in the class, Mu Chen changed the subject.
"Ahem, just kidding, I haven't either."
Saying that, he scanned the class, finally resting his gaze on Hideyoshi.
"Hideyoshi, are you in love?"
"No."
Hideyoshi quickly replied, then subconsciously asked, "Are you in love?"
"Of course not!"
"Who in their right mind falls in love?"
"Is that called love? That's called lusting after his (her) body!"
"Shameless!"
Mu Chen said several sentences in a row.
The classmates' expressions finally improved.
Kaguya Shinomiya's anger, provoked by Mu Chen, also subsided a lot.
Even Great Teacher Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Mu Chen with approval.
Not bad, this person is an ally.
Great Teacher gave Mu Chen a thumbs up.
But next... "I'm different! I always say it directly when I lust after a body!"
The whole class: "..."
Hearing Mu Chen say this so righteously, everyone was almost struck by lightning!
"Ahem, just kidding, to lighten the mood."
Seeing everyone wanting to speak but holding back, their faces flushed, Mu Chen smiled sheepishly, then got up and walked over to Hideyoshi.
"What's wrong, Mu Chen-san?"
Hideyoshi looked puzzled.
Mu Chen, without anyone knowing where he got them, pulled out a pair of chopsticks and picked up a hamburger patty from the other person's bento.
"Mmm~ This meat tastes good, so fragrant!"
Mu Chen said while eating.
Hideyoshi: "..."
Mooched food again!!
Hideyoshi grumbled inwardly, but didn't really mind.
After all, everyone was classmates.
Bang!!!
Just then!
The back door of Class D was suddenly pushed open, and then a bare-chested figure "whooshed" in.
"Mu Chen! Where do you think you're going?!!"
Kitahara Iori pointed at Mu Chen and roared.
Yesterday he was kicked by the entire class, and he originally wanted to get revenge on Mu Chen, but seeing him asleep, he didn't disturb him.
Not only that, but this morning and after school yesterday, Kitahara Iori had tried to ambush Mu Chen, but failed both times.
The reason was simple.
Mu Chen entered school just in time this morning, and yesterday afternoon he went to ambush Ping Nai.
So he didn't catch him.
"Iori? What are you doing here?"
Mu Chen rolled his dead fish eyes, completely unfazed.
"What do you think I'm doing? Let's settle yesterday's score!"
Kitahara Iori twisted his head, slowly walking towards Mu Chen.
