It seems I need to be a little more careful about my words and actions.

Hayakawa Shiro reminded himself, then got up and walked toward the door where the knocking was coming from: "Furuhashi should be here, I'll go open the door."

"I...I'll go."

Ogata Rizu suddenly stood up and ran out before Hayakawa Shiro could speak, heading straight for the door.

The blush on her face never faded.

……

This is Hayakawa's house. It looks like a very nice apartment. There are automatic locks on the ground floor, and there is an elevator in the building. The corridors and doors are also very beautiful and safe. Just by looking at the outside, you can tell that the houses here must not be cheap.

Fumino Furuhashi pressed the doorbell while thinking about it.

"Ding dong~"

Before the sound was even finished, the sound of someone running over came from inside, followed by the sound of the door opening.

Fumino Furuhashi quickly stepped back, straightened her clothes, and planned to greet the owner of the house politely when he came out to greet her.

"Fumino, you've arrived,"

Rizu Ogata opened the door, her face beaming with joy, and said, "You've been so slow!"

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

How do I open this?

For a moment, Fumino Furuhashi felt that Ogata was the owner of the house and she was the guest. She felt strange, but still smiled and said, "Rizu-chan, you're here so early."

"Because my home is relatively close by."

As Ogata Rizu stepped aside, she laughed cheerfully, "It's only a few minutes' walk. Fumino's house is farther away, so it will take longer."

Hmm? Rizu's words didn't mean anything by them, but to my ears, it sounded like she was bragging about living close to Hayakawa's house.

Fumino Furuhashi's expression became even stranger as she followed Rizu into the house.

It must be my misunderstanding.

After all, that's Rizu-chan, you know, little Rizu who knows absolutely nothing about men and women and has absolutely no interest in them. How could she possibly go astray?

"Here you go, Fumino."

Ogata placed the slippers on the ground and said, "These are for you."

Illusion, illusion...

As Furuhashi thought this, she took the slippers that Ogata handed her.

slippers…

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

Something's definitely not right! Preparing slippers is something hosts do for guests. Has Rizu become the owner of this house in just over ten minutes?

What exactly happened during those ten-odd minutes when I was late?!

"Hayakawa-kun,"

Fumino Furuhashi strode into the room and appeared in front of Hayakawa in a flash before he could react, giving him a "kind" smile: "Did you do anything to Rizu while I wasn't here?"

"Uh…"

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the girl in front of him, a bead of cold sweat slowly rolled down Hayakawa Shiro's forehead, and he immediately began to rack his brains.

I've been tidying up your room.

Is cleaning your room an undeniable crime? Why are you staring at me with that "this is the person" look?

"this…"

Hayakawa Shiro said in a dry voice, "I didn't do anything."

Fumino Furuhashi narrowed her eyes and pressed for a confession with a smile: "Tell me quickly."

Hayakawa Shiro remained silent.

Interrogation?

"Uh…"

Hayakawa Shiro pondered for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "Did you touch her head?"

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi smiled slightly.

Okay, death penalty.

"That won't do. That's something only boyfriends and girlfriends should do. It will make Rizu upset."

Fumino Furuhashi's expression instantly softened, and she said in a cute tone, "Rizu is naive and easily fooled, Hayakawa-kun, you can't do anything ambiguous that might affect her, after all..."

"We have a teacher-student relationship,"

Fumino Furuhashi smiled gently at Shiro Hayakawa, flashing her cute little fist at him and saying in a charmingly adorable way, "Right~"

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

I feel like you're about to kill your master any second now.

"Fumino, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

At that moment, Rizu Ogata came in, struggling to drag her suitcase in with both hands: "I left my suitcase outside."

"what…"

Fumino Furuhashi blushed and quickly moved away from Hayakawa, taking the suitcase from Rizu Ogata and saying, "Sorry, Rizu, let me take it."

Rizu Ogata put down her suitcase and said breathlessly, "Fumino, how much stuff did you bring? This suitcase is so heavy!"

"this…"

Fumino Furuhashi hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "It's nothing, I just brought a few extra changes of clothes."

She packed too many items for self-defense, making her suitcase too heavy. However, she would never mention this, firstly because it would be disrespectful to Hayakawa, and secondly because saying it would render all those items useless.

"I also brought toiletries, school supplies, and a few clothes,"

Riju Ogata clapped her hands and said, "It's not that heavy at all. You have so many clothes, you must have brought other things too."

"No, no, it's really just that I have a lot of clothes,"

Fumino Furuhashi avoided eye contact, waving her hands repeatedly as if she were feeling guilty, then changed the subject, saying, "Ah, where's my room? I can't wait~"

As she spoke, she picked up her suitcase and walked out.

Hayakawa Shiro on the side: "..."

"Stare~"

Hayakawa Shiro's eyes were fixed on the suitcase in Furuhashi Fumino's hand, her gaze wary.

Could there be some humanities books secretly hidden inside?

"Um…"

Hayakawa Shiro frowned deeply, his eyes gradually filled with suspicion.

It's very possible.

After all, you don't need so much stuff for a normal stay of a few days, and Ogata has very little stuff.

Moreover, Furuhashi is clearly a natural-born humanities student. I've been forcing her to study science for a while now, and I guess her desire is about to explode.

And judging from her evasive and guilty manner as she ran away just now, she's definitely guilty of something.

No, secretly studying literature is something I absolutely cannot accept; it would damage the invincible emperor's reputation.

We must find an opportunity to check her suitcase.

Hayakawa Haku made up his mind. Since it concerned the Emperor's dignity, he would investigate thoroughly even if there was only a one percent chance, let alone the fact that Furuhashi's guilty conscience was so obvious.

Chapter Thirteen: The First Day of the Genius and [X] (5k)

Even so, it's not to the point where we absolutely have to search her suitcase yet.

Let's test the waters first.

Thinking this, Hayakawa Haku said to Ogata, "Ogata, I've almost finished tidying up here. If there's anything you don't like, just change it yourself. Also, tell me if you see anything missing in the room, and I'll get it for you."

"Ok."

Riju Ogata nodded.

Hayakawa said, "Then I'll go help Furuhashi tidy up."

Ogata had no objection and continued looking at the room, so Hayakawa left the room.

Furuhashi was standing in the corridor when Hayakawa walked up to her in a few steps.

“Let’s go, Guqiao, I’ll take you to your room.”

Hayakawa led the way to Furuhashi, then casually reached for the suitcase in Furuhashi's hand: "Your suitcase is quite heavy. It must have been tiring to carry it all the way here. Let me help you carry it."

Fumino Furuhashi jerked her suitcase away as if she'd been electrocuted, avoiding Hayakawa's hand.

"No...no need,"

Fumino Furuhashi blushed and stammered, "I can carry it by hand, it won't be difficult."

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

This reaction is highly suspicious.

What kind of "contraband" was inside that made Gu Qiao show such an expression?

Could it be that...that absolutely unacceptable thing?

High school Chinese textbook.

Upon thinking of this, Hayakawa Shiro's face turned as black as if it had been smeared with charcoal.

No, I can't make that conclusion yet.

Hayakawa Shiro frowned, deciding to trust Furuhashi one more time.

……

"This is your room."

Hayakawa Shiro led Furuhashi into a room.

"Um…"

Gu Qiao walked into the room with some surprise, looking around.

The simple, solid-color walls are devoid of any unnecessary decorations. Thick red curtains hang over the large windows, ensuring complete privacy by preventing any sunlight from entering. In the corner of the room is a clean and tidy blue bed, with the blankets and pillows neatly arranged, creating a sense of comfort. Next to the bed is a solid wood red bedside table with a pot of purple orchids on it, their fragrance pleasant yet not overpowering.

Looking around, there were wardrobes, desks and chairs, air conditioning, and everything else. Gu Qiao even felt that it was no different from her own bedroom. It didn't feel like an ordinary guest room at all, and it was even quite spacious.

Furuhashi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She had just looked at Ogata Riju's room, and although the layout was different from her own, the size was not much different. Both were large bedrooms. In addition, Hayakawa also had his own bedroom, so it seemed that this house was quite large.

"Hayakawa-kun,"

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but glance at Hayakawa: "Your house is quite big."

"is it?"

Hayakawa glanced at it and said, "I think it's fine."

"So this should be your parents' room, right... or Rizu's?"

Fumino Furuhashi remembered that Hayakawa's parents had gone out of town, so she naturally assumed that one of the two guest rooms should be Hayakawa's parents' room.

"my parents?"

Hayakawa Shiro was taken aback, and without thinking, replied, "They don't live here."

"Ok?"

Fumino Furuhashi looked somewhat bewildered: "What do you mean?"
