After deciding to give up, I became popular

"Oh, oh, President agreed so decisively!" Fujiwara Chika complimented perfunctorily, then looked at Shinomiya Kaguya beside her and said, "Kaguya-chan certainly has no problem, right?"

"Yes, it just so happens that I don't have any extra classes today, so it's okay to go back a little later..." Shinomiya Kaguya responded with a smile. This was a planned event, so of course she couldn't drop the ball. As for anything else... she'd leave it to Ai to worry about.

After confirming that everyone would participate in the study session, they first looked at each other, and then turned their attention to the two lower-grade students beside them.

Ishigami seemed to have recovered a bit and finally reacted to their conversation, so Fujiwara Chika took the initiative to ask for his opinion.

"Ishigami, how about you? Do you want to go to the library to study together?"

"Study together..."

"Yeah, yeah, the people participating now are me, the President, and Kaguya-chan..." Fujiwara Chika kept nodding her little head, as the more people, the better for her.

"Study... Shinomiya-senpai..." Ishigami Yu muttered a few words, then suddenly shuddered, and instantly woke up from his dazed state.

Then he subconsciously looked up at Shinomiya Kaguya, seeing her looking at him with a kind smile.

"...Eek!" With just one glance, he froze completely, because he recalled the days when he was frantically whipped by his senpai to study, it was no exaggeration to say that he came from hell...

"Uh... well... I think I'll pass... I, I have something to do! I'll, I'll go home first!" Ishigami Yu stood up in a panic, then slung his bag over his shoulder and rushed towards the door.

He finally managed to get out of hell alive, and he would rather die than go to any study session!

"Ah, he actually ran away..." Fujiwara Chika stared blankly at Ishigami Yu's disappearing back, pouting in dissatisfaction, "What a useless junior!"

"In that case..." Then she looked at Iino Miko beside her, finding her sketching on her handouts, clearly focused on reviewing.

She's really able to concentrate like that, Fujiwara Chika exclaimed, feeling that she couldn't help but admire this little junior.

Then she sat down next to Iino Miko and waved her hand several times above her handouts, finally attracting her attention.

"Is there something you need, Fujiwara-senpai?" Iino Miko looked up, took off her headphones, and looked at her.

"It's like this, Miko-chan..." Fujiwara Chika blinked, wondering what kind of song she was listening to that could make her so focused, or was it just because the volume was too loud?

"Kaguya, the President, and I are going to the library to study together for a while, would you like to come too?" Fujiwara Chika encouraged, "You can experience the study atmosphere of upperclassmen in advance, and you can ask us directly if you don't understand anything... It's a great idea, right?"

"..." Iino Miko sat up straight and raised her head, her eyes darting back and forth between Xia Chuanzou and the others, before finally opening her mouth hesitantly, "I don't mind, but won't I be bothering you?"

Normally, apart from single groups of boys and girls, or club activities, there are very few situations where students of different grades act together, especially with a personnel combination like theirs, with only one lower-grade student and all the others being upperclassmen. If someone saw this, they might be rumored to say, "That guy is so arrogant, is he trying to suck up to the seniors?" and then be slowly isolated by the people around them.

The key is that this isn't just talk, it's too common in Japanese student social circles—indeed, you can certainly respect your seniors, and it's okay to show some respect when you meet them, but what does it mean to always act together on a regular basis? Does it mean you think you're superior to other peers and that your classmates aren't worthy of being with you?

Expulsion! Such arrogant guys must be expelled!

—Things like this happen often, after all, the most important standard for measuring whether a person's popularity will be good here is "whether they can read the atmosphere," and other conditions are secondary.

However, for Iino Miko, what she actually cares about is not this "unspoken rule" at all, because she doesn't understand it at all. The key is because of her personality and her identity as a disciplinary committee member, so she is usually already in a position of being rejected by others, so even if she really understands this, she wouldn't care much. What she is mainly worried about is—

This is the first time she has been invited to participate in a study session, will she not do well? And what should she do during the study session? Should she bury herself in study all the time? Or should she take the initiative to communicate with everyone about the study situation? She really doesn't know anything about these things!

If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have cared so much. Even if she was really invited to participate in a study session, she would probably just execute her own study rhythm very stubbornly, but this situation is really different.

Although she doesn't say it on the surface, she has been very happy in the student council during this time, and found that everyone is very friendly to her, even Shinomiya-senpai doesn't have any hostility towards her, even though she had criticized her like that before...

Therefore, she also took it to heart, and gradually realized the importance of "friends", and slowly became a little reluctant to part, and began to carefully pay attention to her interactions with everyone, and occasionally worried about whether she was too clumsy and would say something wrong that would make others uncomfortable.

This may be her growth, and this is another excellent opportunity for growth! She will definitely not miss it even if she is worried!

So, Iino Miko strengthened her determination, "That... actually, this is the first time I've been invited to participate in a study session. If there's anything I don't do well, please... please bear with me!"

Eek! I accidentally bit my tongue!

The little junior showed an embarrassed expression, but the other people didn't mean to laugh at her at all. Fujiwara Chika even hugged her tearfully and stroked her head to comfort her, "Wuwuwu... Miko-chan... from now on... from now on, I will definitely ask you to study together often... and won't leave you alone..."

"..."

This was said very beautifully, but the other two looked at each other silently, and then turned their eyes away.

Study hard? You're talking nonsense! Twice a semester is considered you've worked hard—once for the midterm sprint and once for the final sprint. If you can study at other times, he, the student council president, will let you be it!

Xia Chuanzou silently complained in his heart, but he couldn't expose her at this time, because the little junior next to him looked very moved, giving people the feeling that she had found a home.

"Yes! Please be sure to invite me later, I will be prepared!" Iino Miko nodded solemnly. She didn't know that the next time there would be this opportunity might be at the end of the semester.

But no matter how the process was, Iino Miko had agreed, so the others didn't stay any longer. After Fujiwara Chika returned to her usual silly look, they took their bags and went to the library.

Xiuzhiyuan's library is very grand, covering a large area, and has a large collection of books. In order to facilitate students' learning, the library is specially divided into two floors. The lower floor is mainly for borrowing and reading books, and the upper floor provides a large number of empty seats for students to study on their own.

The group went straight to the second floor and found a slightly remote and unoccupied corner to sit down.

There are actually not many people on the second floor of the library. Students themselves are not a group that will honestly study hard every day, and the individuals who are serious and will make appointments to come here to study account for too little, so the entire venue seems a bit empty, and even the rustling sound of turning leaves is easy for people to hear, let alone more noisy sounds. Therefore, Xia Chuanzou can be said to be completely relieved.

In this way, no matter how thick-skinned Fujiwara Chika is, she won't be embarrassed to make a lot of noise here to disturb people, right?

Especially with the current seating arrangement—Shinomiya Kaguya is sitting on the innermost side next to him, and Fujiwara Chika is opposite her, and then Iino Miko is sitting opposite him. In that case, Fujiwara Chika really has no way to deal with him, after all, she is sitting on the diagonal corner farthest from him!

As for her ally Shinomiya Kaguya... he is not worried, because if Kaguya personally comes to make trouble, who will be responsible for the study task? Fujiwara Chika? Do you think she can learn more than him? To put it bluntly, what's wrong with letting her take a course?!

Therefore, Xia Chuanzou completely relaxed and quickly entered his study state.

The others were almost the same. As top-notch excellent students, Iino Miko and Shinomiya Kaguya are also people with good study habits, so they quickly entered the state. In the end, only Fujiwara Chika, after taking out a few exercise books, had only done a few questions before starting to spin her pen and stare blankly.

"..."

She was the only one in the audience whose actions were completely different, seeming very redundant, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ugh, I can't stand it anymore! Can you guys say something?!" Although she showed a complaining look, her voice was actually very low, barely enough for the people at their table to hear.

It can be seen that she still has some quality.

As a result, none of them paid attention to her and continued to study on their own.

Now Fujiwara Chika was even more depressed, realizing that the plan was not what she thought at all. These people were just here to study! So boring!

So she relaxed completely, stretched out her hands and lay on the table, looking at the others with her face sideways, pouting to express her dissatisfaction: "Everyone only knows how to study, and no one talks to me..."

Iino Miko was the first to react, probably because she already had ideas in her heart, so she was able to break away so quickly.

"Uh... then why doesn't Fujiwara-senpai study?" Iino Miko tried to pick up the topic.

"Oh! Good question, Miko-chan!" Fujiwara Chika instantly revived after hearing this, putting her hands on her hips with a smug look, "Because I don't like it!"

"You shouldn't do things you don't like, this is the principle Kaguya-chan told me!"

"Come on, I don't remember saying that." Shinomiya Kaguya interrupted without raising her head.

Although she had been studying all along, she had also been observing the situation all along, just simply multitasking, no problem.

"Eh eh eh? Have you forgotten?! You clearly said it at the beginning, if you don't like it, don't do it." Fujiwara Chika lay on the table, looking at Shinomiya Kaguya's expression, seeming very "sad", "I always thought Kaguya-chan was right, so I remembered it until now!"

"..."

Xia Chuanzou, who had been distracted all along, couldn't help but complain after hearing this: "Don't blame your responsibilities on others! Study hard for me!"

252. First Time Calling by Name

"It was you who first proposed to start the study session, but in the end, you're the only one who's not studying seriously, even the junior next to you is more serious than you, don't you feel embarrassed?" Xia Chuanzou sighed.

He had known for a long time that this guy would do something, but he still couldn't help but complain a few words at this time. After all, it had only been a few minutes, right? She has no patience at all!

"That's not true!" Fujiwara Chika's voice was slightly raised.

Probably feeling that her voice was a bit loud, she suddenly covered her mouth, then looked around again, finding that there were really not many people around, and those who were farther away were not paying attention to this side before she turned back to continue talking.

"The study session in my impression is not like this, okay! Everyone only cares about studying on their own, it's not interesting at all..."

"..."

So since it's a study session, what else is there to do if you don't study? Are you going to drink tea and chat? That's clearly called a tea party!

"Let me ask you first... then what should the study session in your imagination be like?"

"Of course, everyone sits together to discuss their study situation and then asks each other for difficult problems. After a period of hard work, they eat some snacks to reward themselves!" Fujiwara Chika waved her hand, "And and, not only can you do this, but you can also play some games! Even chatting is no problem. At this time, you can talk about love topics... In short, it's definitely not like this, where everyone only cares about studying on their own. What's the difference between this and being at home alone!"

The others raised their heads and looked at her after hearing this, especially Iino Miko, who agreed with her the most. After all, she herself thought so too. If it was just ordinary study, she would definitely be more comfortable alone, but now she can't even put on her headphones and can't listen to what she wants to listen to...

But she felt that she was just a junior, and after the president and vice president made the move to study, of course, she couldn't suddenly sing a different tune. But fortunately, Fujiwara-senpai was there, she really deserved to be the Fujiwara-senpai she respected!

Shinomiya Kaguya thought even more simply, focusing all her attention on the word "love topic" mentioned by Fujiwara Chika, but she was also a little puzzled, was this the same thing as planned? But no matter what, it suited her very well, she deserved to be her good friend Fujiwara Chika!

"Uh..." Xia Chuanzou was a little speechless, because he suddenly felt that what Fujiwara Chika said actually made some sense, at least the first half was like that, because the reward mechanism after learning can't be said to be useless, it also helps to improve mood and continue motivation, but it felt a little strange to him to hear these words from Fujiwara's mouth.

"Even if you say so... but we are in the library, right? You can't eat here, it's against the rules." Xia Chuanzou shook his head and said, although he felt it made sense, but as the student council president, he had to pay attention to his image in the school... at least don't obviously take the lead in violating school rules.

"Eh, President is so rigid, as long as you don't make it dirty and clean it up, it's fine." Fujiwara Chika pouted.

"That's not the point." Xia Chuanzou shook his head, his hands still moving, simply multitasking, and the homework to be completed was also national language content, something that was almost muscle memory, and he could get the answer without much thought.

"The library is a place for everyone to read and study after all. Even if no one pays attention to you, it would be very strange to start eating alone when everyone is serious, right? And not to mention the smell of food, it will ultimately affect others."

"As for playing games and chatting... I naturally won't object, but the premise is to pay attention to the place—still, it will definitely affect others to fool around and communicate in the library, but other places don't matter, so it's better to have booked the place at a family restaurant or somewhere else, at least you don't have to be so timid like this." Xia Chuanzou spread his hands, expressing a helpless look of "You chose the wrong place."

He also considered this point, so he agreed without hesitation, anyway, he felt that Fujiwara couldn't do anything in this place... Wait! Did he seem to have been dragged into this guy's rhythm? Unconsciously, he began to be distracted to chat and didn't care about studying...

Then Xia Chuanzou subconsciously turned his head to look at Si Gonghuiye, and found that she had also stopped writing, put her hands on the table, and looked like she was listening to their chat seriously, and then he felt a little relieved.

Although he knew in his heart that studying for such a short time should not have any impact on the result, but seeing himself goofing off and chatting while his competitors were studying hard would still make people feel worried.

But he didn't expect Huiye to be interested in this topic, and Yi Jingye Mizi was also there, and had already stopped studying and joined the discussion.

"Um... although I don't have much experience, it seems that study sessions are really like what Senior Fujiwara said, right? That's what I saw on TV..." Yi Jingye Mizi raised her little hand and said.

In her impression, Senior Xia Chuan and Senior Si Gong were both people with very good grades, so Senior Fujiwara should be the same, right? Since everyone is so relaxed and started chatting, then she must actively participate, so as not to be considered an unromantic person again, she doesn't want to be said "You really can't read the atmosphere" again.

"Even Yi Jingye thinks so... what does Huiye think?" Xia Chuanzou looked at Si Gonghuiye and asked for her opinion.

Si Gonghuiye turned her head slightly, showing a beautiful smile and looking at him.

Her mood has been really good these days. Every day she hears the president calling her name, she feels so happy and excited. She originally thought she would gradually get used to it, but she inexplicably feels more and more itchy, especially every time she meets the president's eyes, she feels that he must have more to say, those hidden under his charming eyes...

"Eh eh eh?!" A loud shout from the side suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"..." Si Gonghuiye turned her head helplessly and looked at Yi Jingye Mizi who had just made the sound.

"I'm sorry! My voice was too loud!" The little junior covered her mouth with both hands, constantly looking around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that no one was paying attention here, and then turned back to look at a few people apologetically.

"I'm very sorry! I accidentally shouted out because I was surprised..."

"Surprised? What's wrong?" Si Gonghuiye was a little puzzled, she hadn't spoken yet? Then is there anything noteworthy in what the president said? She was a little puzzled.

The other two also looked at Yi Jingye Mizi with curious eyes, and Fujiwara Chika next to her even asked with concern: "What's wrong, Mizi-chan?"

"No, actually there's nothing... I accidentally made a sound myself, anyway, you don't have to pay special attention to me, you can continue..." The little junior weakly shrank her head, feeling embarrassed to be stared at by everyone, because the things she considered didn't feel like noteworthy content...

"Oh, don't be so polite, just say anything you care about, everyone is good friends, no one will laugh at you." Fujiwara Chika kept comforting her.

Although the intention may be good, the statement is obviously very wrong, making people suspect that there is a kind of bad intention to watch the show, but the simple little junior doesn't understand this, and she was really a little moved after hearing her words, so she slowly said her thoughts.

"Actually, it's because... I was a little concerned about hearing Senior Xia Chuan call Senior Si Gong's name... Um, are the two seniors already dating?" Yi Jingye Mizi looked at the two people opposite hesitantly.

Because I had heard rumors before that the student council president and the "Si Gong Princess" seemed to be dating, but she really didn't see any intimate behavior between the two after she joined the student council. On the contrary, the relationship between Senior Fujiwara and Senior Xia Chuan seemed to be closer? And today I suddenly heard Senior Xia Chuan calling Senior Si Gong's name, of course I would be surprised, especially after those things happened before... In, in her heart, she already regarded Senior Xia Chuan as a good person! So it will definitely make people care about the relationship between the two...

After hearing Yi Jingye Mizi's words, Si Gonghuiye was immediately startled. Wow, what's wrong with this junior? Does she have such a good eye? Sure enough, she thinks she and the president are a match made in heaven?!

Although I don't know what this junior is thinking, but based on the other party's words, the position of student council president after the president's term will definitely be the other party's! No one can compete this time, she said it!

However, although she was happy in her heart, Si Gonghuiye still looked very calm and composed on the surface, gently resting her chin on her side face, looking at Xia Chuanzou next to her with an elegant posture.

Of course, she wouldn't take the topic first at this time, otherwise no matter what she said, it might be misinterpreted by the president, and if she was underestimated and teased again, it wouldn't be good, then she might not be able to calm down... So at this time, she naturally has to see what the president's response is!

In short, after she didn't answer, Xia Chuanzou first glanced at Si Gonghuiye, and seeing that she didn't look very angry, he breathed a sigh of relief for this junior who made a shocking statement. She dared to joke about the "Ice Queen", super brave, junior!

"You misunderstood." Xia Chuanzou shook his head, which was a positive answer to the other party, "It's just calling names, this is very common among friends... And haven't you heard it before? Why are you suddenly curious again now..."

He himself didn't have too many feelings. He always felt that calling names or surnames was the same. This kind of title doesn't represent anything, but it seems that everyone cares about this kind of thing, and it seems that calling names and surnames will be slightly different in intimacy, so he also followed the custom and changed according to their titles for him.

"Uh..." Yi Jingye Mizi opened her mouth, just wanting to say when she had heard it, and then suddenly remembered that on Monday, it seemed that when she had just entered the student council room, she vaguely seemed to have heard Senior Xia Chuan call Senior Si Gong that way, but at that time her mind was all on the two people's bad posture, so she didn't care much about this inconspicuous thing, and she suddenly remembered it when she was reminded now.

"..."

Doesn't this show that she cares about the relationship between the two? Could it be that she will be misunderstood...? The body of Yi Jingye Mizi became a little twisted. In Xia Chuanzou's view, the other party was obviously embarrassed, so he very considerately wanted to help change the topic, but Fujiwara Chika next to her became a little excited.

"That's right, Mizi-chan wasn't there at the time..." Fujiwara Chika murmured, then moved to Yi Jingye Mizi's side slyly and whispered to her, "Oh, it's just calling each other's names, Mizi-chan, don't make a fuss, everyone is doing this kind of thing, okay?"

"..." Xia Chuanzou immediately gave her a blank look. Think about it, who started making a fuss first? It's obviously you!

"Eh? Everyone means..." Yi Jingye Mizi blinked, then looked at Fujiwara Chika curiously, "Is it... Senior Fujiwara is also called that by Senior Xia Chuan?"

"That's right, the president has called me by my name." Fujiwara Chika nodded and said, "But I think 'Fujiwara' sounds better."
