Teasing the loli class president and then running away was thrilling.
After leaving the classroom, Chu Hui reminisced about the tenderness of Kiyoura Setsuna's cheek while thinking pervertedly.
Passing by Class 4, Chu Hui glanced inside and saw Katsura Kotonoha sitting at her desk, surrounded by several girls who were constantly saying something to her. Katsura Kotonoha seemed very quiet.
Chu Hui instinctively frowned, recognizing those girls. They were the group of four from the anime who bullied Katsura Kotonoha: Kato Otome, Natsumi Koizumi, Mori Kurumi, and Kobayashi Minami.
In the current scene, Katsura Kotonoha seemed to be being troubled by them. The surrounding classmates appeared indifferent to the situation because Katsura Kotonoha had the worst interpersonal relationships in the class. The girls were jealous of her, the boys felt they couldn't reach her status, and to maintain relationships with the girls in class, they also joined in targeting Katsura Kotonoha.
Watching Katsura Kotonoha bow her head in silence, Chu Hui's heart twitched. He stepped into Class 4.
'Kotonoha, where did you go at noon? It's all because you weren't here that someone else passed this on to me.'
Kato Otome placed a form in front of Katsura Kotonoha. 'You're the executive committee member for the school festival, right? Take responsibility properly.'
'I'm sorry,' Katsura Kotonoha said softly.
'Could it be you went on a date with your boyfriend?'
A sharp voice came through. It was Natsumi Koizumi speaking mockingly.
'That's not it...' Katsura Kotonoha looked up in surprise, then quickly shook her head in denial, though a faint blush appeared on her face.
Seeing Katsura Kotonoha's reaction, Kato Otome's eyes turned even colder. 'Kotonoha, do you think your boyfriend is more important than your duties as an executive committee member? Get a clue. Men are no good. Don't get played with and end up pregnant, only to be abandoned. See what you'll do then.'
'He's not that kind of person!' Katsura Kotonoha anxiously retorted. Only after speaking did she suddenly realize she and Chu Hui didn't have any such relationship, causing her to blush with embarrassment.
'So you do have a boyfriend.'
'No wonder we've seen you giggling to yourself these past few days. So you're thinking about a man.'
'Kotonoha is so H!'
'Hey, hey, what kind of person is Kotonoha's boyfriend?'
Natsumi Koizumi and the others jeered, their voices not soft at all, instantly drawing the attention of the classmates who hadn't gone home yet.
The girls were either indifferent, jealous, or disdainful, while the boys appeared unmoved on the surface, though they were actually consumed by jealousy inside.
"It's not like that. Student Chu and I are just ordinary friends."
The more she tried to explain, the worse it looked. Katsura Kotonoha was very worried about affecting Chu Hui's reputation and had to speak up quickly to clarify, yet in the eyes of outsiders, it was merely a sign of a guilty conscience.
"Could it be Chu Hui from the class next door?"
Natsumi Koizumi and the others looked at each other, finding it hard to believe, and stared at Katsura Kotonoha with jealous eyes.
On his first day at school, Chu Hui had dared to beat up Ito Makoto in front of the entire class. Coupled with his handsome appearance and his mysterious identity from across the sea, he had gathered quite a bit of popularity among the girls in a very short time. Especially for girls like Natsumi Koizumi and her friends, Chu Hui was undoubtedly extremely attractive.
They had even prepared to get to know Chu Hui through Saionji Sekai, but they hadn't expected Katsura Kotonoha to take the first step. Thinking that such an outstanding boy like Chu Hui had actually become Katsura Kotonoha's boyfriend made the young girls feel somewhat stifled.
"Katsura, you aren't lying, are you? Student Chu has only been at school for a few days; how could he possibly know you so quickly?"
Mori Kurumi suddenly spoke up, and her words were unanimously agreed upon by her companions.
"It must be that Katsura intentionally seduced Student Chu. Stop it already; Student Chu will be very troubled if you do this."
"Katsura is so shameless, using her massive chest to seduce Student Chu. Even if Student Chu doesn't like you, he will definitely be tempted. After all, boys are creatures that cannot resist temptation."
"Student Katsura is too wicked. I'm going to go to Student Chu and expose your true colors."
Natsumi Koizumi and the others continued to verbally attack Katsura Kotonoha.
Katsura Kotonoha's face turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly said: "It's not true! I haven't done anything like that!"
Kato Otome looked coldly at Katsura Kotonoha. Although the person she liked was Ito Makoto, she also had quite a favorable impression of the handsome boy from China, Chu Hui.
Over the past few days, Ito Makoto had been constantly suppressed by Chu Hui, which made Kato Otome feel a bit unhappy, but it also highlighted Chu Hui's strength. Even Kato Otome, who had always liked Ito Makoto, couldn't help but be influenced.
Therefore, seeing her companions deliberately targeting Katsura Kotonoha, she not only didn't stop them, but was even prepared to join in and say some disparaging words.
Suddenly, a handsome figure entered the classroom, instantly attracting the gaze of all the girls.
"Ah! It's Student Chu from the class next door!"
"Student Chu actually came to our class. Could he be here to find me?"
"Dream on, he's obviously here to find me."
Natsumi Koizumi and the others couldn't help but turn around to look at Chu Hui, their faces flushed with excitement. Because Chu Hui was actually walking towards them, it was inevitable that Natsumi Koizumi and the others would let their imaginations run wild.
In the end, Chu Hui stopped in front of Kato Otome and looked at her with a smile. Natsumi Koizumi and the others let out sighs of disappointment.
Kato Otome was bewildered by the sudden situation. She looked at Chu Hui, who was smiling at her, with a mix of surprise and joy. Chu Hui's actions were practically like he had come to confess his feelings to her.
At this moment, the girls in the class were all watching her with envy, and Natsumi Koizumi and her friends' eyes were filled with jealousy, which satisfied Kato Otome's vanity to a great extent.
However, Kato Otome thought reservedly that the person she liked was Ito Makoto, so it was absolutely impossible for her to agree to Chu Hui.
Thinking of Ito Makoto, although Kato Otome felt a bit reluctant, she still deliberately put on an arrogant expression and looked at Chu Hui, coldly rejecting him: "You should leave. I already have someone I like."
"Uh... What are you talking about?" Chu Hui looked at her, bewildered, his brows slightly furrowed: "I'm looking for Kotonoha. Who are you? Regardless of who you are, please move aside. You're blocking my way."
Kato Otome looked at Chu Hui with a stunned expression.
After speaking, Chu Hui didn't care about Kato Otome's reaction; he pushed her aside and walked straight to Katsura Kotonoha. He looked at Katsura Kotonoha with gentle eyes, reached out his hand, and said affectionately: "Kotonoha, I've come to pick you up. Let's go."
For a moment, a flurry of whispers erupted in the classroom. All sorts of complex gazes were focused on Katsura Kotonoha: envy, jealousy, and disbelief.
Katsura Kotonoha's head was spinning, and she couldn't hear any outside sounds at all. She just stared blankly at Chu Hui, with an emotion brewing in her chest, ready to burst forth at any moment.
Katsura Kotonoha instinctively reached out her small hand and placed it on Chu Hui's palm.
By the time she regained her senses, she realized that she was being held by the hand by Chu Hui, walking towards the classroom door.
This short distance made Katsura Kotonoha's heart feel like it was about to jump out; her breathing became rapid, and her palms were soaked with sweat.
Feeling her palms sweating, Katsura Kotonoha inexplicably began to worry again, until she timidly glanced at Chu Hui and discovered that Chu Hui didn't show any signs of disgust, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief.
At the moment she was about to leave the classroom, Katsura Kotonoha looked back at the class and saw Kato Otome's incredibly pale face, as well as the incredulous expressions of Natsumi Koizumi and the others.
Turning her head back again, Katsura Kotonoha gazed at Chu Hui's back, the corners of her mouth curving upward.
