Volume 129: Chapter : Long Yuan's cleverness backfires
On the second-floor corridor of the cruise ship, hurried and messy footsteps came closer and closer, as if there was someone walking fast in front and someone else chasing behind.
Actually, it is not wrong to say so, but the person walking in front is Manabe, and the ones chasing behind are Nanami Yabuna and Saki Yamashita who are in the same class.
"Manabe, please wait for us, Manabe——"
"Slow down..."
Manabe Shiho was walking straight forward at almost full speed, forcing the two people following behind her to jog to barely keep up.
When she heard the call from her classmate and good friend from behind, she not only did not stop or slow down, but instead quickened her pace even more.
The three of them remained in this strange state until they reached the fire escape, and only then did Manabe Shiho stop.
As soon as she stopped, the other two followed suit.
"Why did you come here..."
The familiar place made Yabuna Nanami and Yamashita Saki stunned.
This place was none other than the place where Karuizawa Megumi apologized and reconciled with Rika the day before yesterday.
They didn't understand why Shiho Manabe suddenly came here, and were about to open their mouths to continue asking questions, but the next second, the door of the fire escape was pushed open from the inside and a familiar voice was heard.
"Well, do you know who the preferential treatment is?"
"Ibuki?!"
"You actually..."
Nanami Yabuna and Saki Yamashita were stunned when they saw someone walking out of the fire escape.
It turned out to be Ibuki Mio, who had left with the three students from Class A earlier. She did not really leave, but came here after leaving the discussion room, and sent a text message to Manabe who was still in the discussion room, asking her to write down the name of the person who had treated her well.
Yes, this is a big loophole in the contract. Although the signer cannot become a traitor and send an email to the school in the form of submitting the paper early, it does not mean that they cannot tell other people the name of the preferential treatment.
This is a risky move that is a bit unconventional, and it is an exclusive risky move that can only be used by Class D who have not signed all their names.
Apart from this, neither Class A, which has no signatures, nor Class B, which has all signatures, can be used.
The risk of this move is that if Ichinose had a change of heart and realized that he couldn't get enough people to sign anyway, and since the result would be no different, he might as well not announce the name of the beneficiary, then Ibuki Mio's plan would have failed.
But the problem is that Ichinose actually honestly announced that he was the preferential treatment recipient, so there is nothing much to say.
Such a betrayal!
"The one who treated him well was Ichinose himself." Manabe Shiho said calmly.
"Herself?"
Ibuki Mio looked up while opening the email software.
"Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"It can't be wrong, it's her." Manabe Shiho frowned, "We've all checked it, it's definitely her phone, and all the usage records in the phone are also hers."
"is it?"
Ibuki Mio seemed a little skeptical, and her eyes swept over Yabunanami and Yamashita Saki in succession.
The two girls were stunned at first, then they reacted and nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, it was her. We all saw it."*2
"Yeah, that's good."
Ibuki Mio didn't even have the enthusiasm to smile, she lowered her head and continued to operate her phone.
But Shiho Manabe was not happy and started to yell with her hands on her hips.
"Hey, what do you mean? You want me to help you and ask me, but in the end you still don't believe me. Then you might as well not text me."
"It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just cautiously confirming it."
Ibuki Mio's eyes were focused on the screen, but her hands couldn't help but slow down because she was distracted by talking.
However, just as she was about to press the send button, a text message appeared in her sight without warning.
[The Rabbit Group exam is over. Students in the Rabbit Group do not need to take the exam again, but please be careful not to affect the exams of students in other groups].
"This……"
Seeing the question falling from the top of the screen, Ibuki Mio opened her mouth in shock.
How could it be... No, who is it?!
On the other side, in the discussion room, Wu Yi looked at the text message notifying him of the end of the exam on his phone and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Are you stupid? What's the point of running faster? Can it be as fast as the Internet? Technology is the primary productive force."
……
At the same time, in the Dragon Group's discussion room, everyone held their cell phones in their hands facing forward, showing the text message notifications of the candidates for preferential treatment that they had received from the school.
These include, but are not limited to, Ryuen, Katsuragi, Kanzaki, and others.
The only ones who didn't pick up their phones were Kikyo Kushida, who was a favored student, and Yosuke Hirata and Suzune Horikita, who were in the same class.
Long Yuan smiled sinisterly, put away his phone, and took out a thin piece of paper from behind him, shaking it in his hand.
"Well, now that everyone has signed the gentleman's agreement to ensure that everyone will only answer within the time specified by the school, let's be honest and make it public. There is no need to hesitate."
"Um……"
Hearing this, Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but tremble and bit her lower lip lightly.
After a moment, she slowly took out her cell phone from her skirt pocket, unlocked the screen and faced forward. She turned her gaze to the two classmates beside her who looked incredulous, and gave an apologetic look.
"Sorry, I am actually the one who gets preferential treatment."
"Kushida-san..."
Hirata Yosuke still found it a little hard to believe. He had clearly asked Kushida Kikyo privately before whether she was a favored person, but got a negative answer.
But now the facts were before him.
Kushida Kikyo is the one who gets treated preferentially.
"I'm sorry, Hirata-san. I didn't lie to you just to keep the 500,000 points for myself." Kushida Kikyo shook her head. "It's just that you've always been honest with your classmates in class. I'm not sure if you can pretend to be honest, so I didn't tell you the truth. The same goes for Horikita-san... I'm sorry."
"So this is ah……"
Hirata Yosuke was relieved by this answer, but he didn't smile bitterly either.
Long Yuan chuckled again at this moment, still shaking the contract paper in his hand.
"Now that we have figured out who is the one who is doing the preferential treatment, there is no problem. Let's adjourn the meeting, everyone. Remember to abide by the gentleman's agreement~"
"makes sense."
Katsuragi crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, then stood up with the contract in his hand and led the people from Class A out of the room first.
Then came Class C, and then Class D.
Finally, only three people from Class B were left in the room, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"that……"
Kushida Kikyo was about to say something when suddenly, the door opened again and someone walked in.
It was Ryuen Sho. He had originally left, but for some reason came back. He was holding a cell phone in his hand and seemed to be on a call, muttering to himself.
"People always become extremely certain after they have worked hard to reach the first truth... Am I right, Suzune?"
"Varied……"
Before Horikita Suzune could react to why she was called, the phone in her pocket started vibrating continuously.
Ryuen Sho sneered and showed the name of the phone he dialed to the girl's shrunken pupils.
"Can you please tell me why when I called Kikyo's number, it was your phone that rang?"
"This……"
"Because there is only one answer, and that is you are the one favored by the Dragon Group! Horikita Suzune!"
The corners of Long Yuanxiang's mouth curled up into an extremely sarcastic arc.
"You don't think I can't think of something of this level, do you? I asked Sakagami about changing the SIM card the day before the exam, and it's easy to do. I can do it by paying points."
Horikita Suzune took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down as quickly as possible.
"…But so what? The contract has already been signed. Even if you tell everyone now, the final result will be nothing more than result one."
"No, no, no, I'm not going to tell them."
Ryuen Sho shook his head and made a clicking sound.
When he stopped, the familiar sinister smile appeared on his face again.
"You probably haven't forgotten, this contract and the pen you signed with were all prepared by me."
"what do you want to say in the end……"
Horikita Suzune frowned slightly.
Hirata Yosuke seemed to realize something, quickly grabbed the contract paper and took a look, his face suddenly changed.
"The writing is disappearing!"
I saw that the long string of names originally written on the paper gradually became transparent starting from the first one, and the ones after that also seemed to fade away one by one.
"Is this... a disappearing pen?!"
Kushida Kikyo was also stunned. She had only known about such things from novels and movies, and she didn't expect that they actually existed.
Ryuuen looked up to the sky and laughed loudly before leaving.
I guess by the time everyone else returned to their rooms, the name of Ryuen Sho, who was at the top of the list, would have disappeared completely, as if it had never been signed.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the school sent a text message announcing that the Dragon Group exam had ended early.
"I've really been tricked..."
Looking at the text message on his mobile phone helplessly, Hirata Yosuke's face couldn't help but look ugly, and in the end he just sighed silently.
He was just about to comfort the two girls in the same group and class, but when he turned around, he saw Kushida Kikyo happily dialing someone's phone.
"Yes, that's right, it went exactly as planned!"
As for Horikita Suzune standing next to her, she also had an expression that was completely unexpected.
what happened? ? ?
Volume 130: Chapter : The Bad Woman and the Bad Sister
Late at night, in the familiar coffee shop on the third floor of the cruise ship, in a booth in the corner against the wall.
"Wow! Why is Kushida-san here?!"
The frightened voice of the girl echoed in the empty store. Karuizawa Kei, who had just arrived with Wu Yi, opened her mouth wide and pointed at Kushida Kikyo, who was already sitting on the sofa opposite her. She was so surprised that her words were incoherent.
Wu Yi, who was being held by her arm and shaken, felt a little helpless.
"I came here to meet Kikyo, so I told you to go back to the dormitory early to take a shower and rest. Who told you to follow me?"
"Then of course I'll follow!"
Karuizawa Kei pouted and argued.
"I am your girlfriend. You are out so late. Who knows if you are meeting some questionable woman? What if you are cheated?"
"dubious……"
Wu Yi couldn't help but want to raise his hand to support his forehead, thinking to himself, the real owner is still in front of you, girl, you are making a veiled accusation, do you know that?
However, Kushida Kikyo was not angry. Although she had probably already cursed her ancestors for generations in her heart, she still maintained the image of a gentle and lovely little angel on the surface. She frowned a little aggrievedly, and tears seemed to flicker in her wide eyes.
"That's too much. Karuizawa-san's so-called questionable woman, is she referring to me? But it was obviously me who started dating Wu Yi-san first. And to be honest, Karuizawa-san, didn't you establish a relationship with Wu Yi-san on the premise that we wouldn't fall in love with each other in a fake relationship? Logically, shouldn't you not interfere with each other's love lives? Why are you running in front of me, your real girlfriend, to interfere with our date?"
"Uh……"
Karuizawa Megumi is actually not very good at talking. She may not even be able to win an argument with Ibuki.
Under the full-force attack of Kikyo Kushida, the blonde sister instantly lost her temper.
Seeing that Karuizawa Kei stopped talking, Kushida Kikyo decisively turned to Wu Yi, wiping her eyes with a tearful look on her face.
