Wandering aimlessly across the cold plain, I didn't know how long I walked, until finally at the end I encountered two... three, no, now four enormous statues whose faces I couldn't make out. Their features were blurred, as if they were mocking me silently.
The scene cleaved through his chaotic thoughts like lightning, and a heart-wrenching pain instantly pierced his soul.
It hurts, it hurts too much!
That's how people are. When you love with all your might, you don't consider the consequences. Even if you know there's no future, you'll rush towards your love like a moth to a flame, only to end up with this inescapable, cold fate.
"I won't allow it!"
The coldness in his body and the intense pain in his heart jolted Hayakawa awake from his hazy dream. He sat up abruptly, his expression ferocious as he looked at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to devour them.
Then there were no enemies in front of him, only desolation.
"..."
Hayakawa looked lost and sighed softly as he slowly lowered his head.
The moment he saw the results list, he felt as if his soul had been ripped from his body, leaving him staring blankly at the cold numbers on it.
Failure, like a merciless and sharp arrow, pierced his heart; his dignity, everything he was proud of, was shattered in that instant.
He hated! He hated it to the point of madness.
I hate Ogata Furuhashi's greedy face; despite dominating the rankings multiple times, he still covets the number one spot that rightfully belongs to him.
Second, I hate that Xia Chuanzhenliang is shameless; how dare a mere transfer student be so arrogant.
The third regret is that the earthen mound buried a lie, deceiving himself into believing that his poor grades constituted the crime of deceiving the emperor.
He also resented that there were only 24 hours in a day, preventing him from studying for 100 hours every day; he resented that he was just a human being, whose limited physical body could not unleash his mountain-like, indestructible will; he resented that the school's education was so poor that it could not showcase his talents; he resented that the poor lighting in the examination room affected his performance…
In short, I hate it, hate it, hate it.
"..."
Hayakawa remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a low voice, "It's come to this..."
We can only endure it for now…
How could I possibly tolerate this?!
"I'm going to kill that bitch!!"
Hayakawa's mind conjured up the unrecognizable face of Doma Umaru, and his expression instantly twisted into a ferocious grimace, as if he were wearing a terrifying clown mask, his claw-like hands seemingly gripping a sharp dagger.
If anyone could say who he hated most about this failure, it would undoubtedly be Doma Umaru. If it weren't for her, he could at least have maintained his original ranking. But after she came, his ranking dropped even though he worked hard for a month.
With such a deep-seated blood feud, Hayakawa Zetsu would not be able to swallow this anger if he did not take revenge.
However, although Umaru is the one I hate the most right now, mentioning her doesn't mean I have no feelings for Fumino Furuhashi and Masuzu Natsukawa. It's just that she's being used as a negative example.
"hateful…"
Hayakawa gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath, various blasphemous words vaguely escaping his lips.
This defeat left him devastated. Even with the magnanimity and benevolence of an emperor, he could not tolerate it. He would not allow such unruly pieces, especially not several in a row, to appear on his chessboard.
"I will repay all of this."
Hayakawa stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air in front of him, his expression so determined as if he had grasped the future. However, his movement caused him to bump into another body next to him, and a soft "whimper" was heard.
"Ok?"
Hayakawa was startled when he heard the voice, turned around and looked over, then fell silent.
A beautiful young girl, dressed in a thin nightgown, lay beside him. Her skin was as white as snow, her features delicate, and her sleepy face looked pure and lovely. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and a little below, one could see her milky white skin. Her nightgown was slightly disheveled due to her sleeping position, and one could vaguely see deep...
Hayakawa: "..."
Another unconventional piece has emerged.
"Nakano? No...where is this?"
Hayakawa looked at the girl with a shocked expression, then looked around in confusion before realizing that he wasn't at home. He had been so focused on the pain that he hadn't paid attention to his surroundings.
"last night…"
Hayakawa couldn't help but recall his situation from the previous night. After a hangover and a headache, he remembered everything. He had fallen into an unprecedented state of distress and confusion because of his defeat. So, possessed by his inner demons, he went to a bar intending to drown his sorrows in alcohol. However, after drinking heavily, he quickly lost consciousness.
However, at the very end of the memory, I seemed to see Yotsuba...
"So, Yotsuba took me home and I slept there for the night?"
Hayakawa looked at the girl, his nose twitched slightly, and he quickly used his dog-like sense of smell to identify the girl lying there as Miku. Instantly, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of confusion: "Then why is she lying on my bed?"
Who arranged this maid to serve me in bed?
Young Master Hayakawa, who had been served by maids since childhood, began to think in that direction and immediately frowned.
He had never allowed a maid to sleep with him since he was a child, the reason being that he would never allow women or any other temptations to corrupt his will.
"This is really frustrating,"
Hayakawa got out of bed as if avoiding a snake or scorpion. Looking at her slightly too-small pajamas in the mirror, she realized that she should be wearing women's clothes, and felt extremely humiliated.
What a disgrace! What an utter disgrace! I, the mighty Emperor, have actually put on women's clothes.
"Ugh…"
Hayakawa suppressed her grief and anger and left the room, where she bumped into Yotsuba, who had gotten up early to check on the situation.
"what…"
Yotsuba's eyes widened as she saw Hayakawa leaving, and she let out a bewildered gasp.
"Oh,"
Hayakawa looked down at her with his head down, and said expressionlessly, "Yotsuba."
"You...you're awake,"
Hayakawa's voice woke Yotsuba, who immediately stammered, "Did you sleep well?"
"Um,"
Hayakawa casually remarked, though what she really thought was how cold it was, and that having someone next to her when she woke up was an even worse experience. But she still politely replied, "It's alright, it's quite unique."
"special?"
Yotsuba was slightly taken aback; this should be a compliment.
"You were the one who brought me from the street to your house last night, weren't you?"
Hayakawa looked at Yotsuba and said, "Thank you. Without you, I'm afraid I would have had to stay out all night."
Yotsuba blushed instantly, lowered her head, and whispered, "N-nothing, did we just bump into each other?"
"Speaking of which..."
She mustered her courage and looked up, wanting to ask Hayakawa why she was drinking, or if something had happened that upset her, but Hayakawa interrupted her.
"But I'd like to ask a question,"
Hayakawa pointed behind him and asked, "What's going on with the person inside?"
Chapter 152 The Emperor's Awakening and Date
"Who's inside?"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba looked at the door with a confused expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You'll see once you come in."
Hayakawa pushed open the door and walked in. Yotsuba followed him in, looking around in confusion. She was instantly stunned and exclaimed, "Miku? What's she doing here?"
"Who knows?"
Hayakawa patted the wrinkles in his pajamas with annoyance and said, "I woke up and saw her lying next to me. It really scared me. Honestly."
"Your reaction is so subtle..."
Yotsuba glanced at him strangely, then looked at Yotsuba thoughtfully and said, "Perhaps she got out of bed in the middle of the night and went into the wrong room?"
It turns out she wasn't there specifically to serve the emperor.
Hayakawa thought to himself, then stepped forward indifferently: "Whatever, just wake her up quickly, I need to change my clothes."
"Wait!"
Yotsuba was immediately stunned and quickly stepped forward to stop Hayakawa, saying incredulously, "You're going to wake her up?!"
"what?"
Hayakawa withdrew his hand, frowning, and said, "Otherwise what?"
"Hayakawa, could it be...?"
Yotsuba's throat bobbed slightly. After thinking for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion, raised her head, and said seriously, "Are you an idiot?"
"..."
Hayakawa remained expressionless, his eyes gradually turning icy cold.
"Your eyes are terrifying! But even if you glare at me like that, I still have to talk."
Yotsuba was a little scared, but still cautiously said, "If you wake her up like this, Miku will find out that she spent the night in the same bed with you, right? That will definitely cause a commotion, and there will be a lot of trouble, especially with Ichika... As the older sister, she will definitely care a lot about Miku's feelings and might ask you a lot of questions, which you don't like, right? Most importantly, it will definitely be awkward when you meet again. So, logically speaking, it's better to keep it a secret. Itsuki is probably still asleep, so we can secretly send her over now..."
Yotsuba stammered and said a lot of things, almost incoherently, but she didn't mention the most important reason.
"Huh? Why would you do this?!"
Hayakawa's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he said solemnly, "I, Hayakawa, am an upright person, and my actions are transparent to the world. I have never needed to hide anything."
Shh! Shh!! Keep your voice down!
Yotsuba was startled by Hayakawa's sudden increase in volume. She quickly raised her finger and whispered in a panic, "I know you're the most upright person, okay? But boys can't explain these things. Anyway, I'm taking Miku back now. You keep an eye on her for me."
As she spoke, she quickly walked to the bedside, pondering from which angle and in what position it would be most convenient to hug Miku.
Hayakawa was extremely unwilling and frowned, sulking on the side.
"Let's carry her in a princess carry."
Yotsuba looked at the sleeping Miku in front of her and felt a strange sensation in her heart. She slowly reached out her hand.
How strange... Even though it was my most important sister who suffered a loss, why is my first reaction when I see this situation that I want to help Hayakawa cover it up?
He was probably afraid of ruining Nino's impression of him!
"It's very light to hold."
Thinking this, Yotsuba picked up Miku, turned around and smiled at Hayakawa, saying, "Luckily, Miku always stays up late before bed, so she usually wakes up late."
"Hurry up and send it back."
Hayakawa covered her head and walked out, saying, "I need to go wash up quickly, my head hurts a bit."
"is it?"
Yotsuba quickly followed, saying, "It's probably just a hangover. She just needs some rest..."
Miku, held in her arms: "..."
Actually, I woke up a little while ago.
……
The moment Hayakawa touched Miku after getting up, Miku slowly woke up and was so frightened by Hayakawa talking to herself that she dared not move.
"Why is she in my room?!"
The thought immediately flashed through Miku's mind, and she was about to scream, but then she realized that she had gone into the wrong room and immediately shut her mouth.
I got up in the middle of the night, went into the wrong room, and ended up sleeping in a guy's room all night. How embarrassing!
Nakano Miku felt as if ants were crawling in her veins, and she dared not move. She just hoped that Hayakawa would quickly and secretly take her back to May's room, and that this matter would be over.
then…
"What's going on with the person inside?"
Sanjiu: "..."
I want to die, I really want to die.
