After deciding to give up, I became popular

“Then Miss Kaguya can also hint to her not to have too much contact with Young Master Xia Chuan, or simply explain your feelings to her first…”

“But what if she betrays me? What if she tells the president about those things… I will never tell her those things without complete trust.” Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head again. She hadn’t even told Fujiwara Chika, how could she so easily tell her thoughts to someone she had only known for a few days.

“……”

“If that doesn’t work, let me go and contact Young Master Xia Chuan again to find out the situation?” Hayasaka Ai was really a little bit headache. Her suggestions were constantly being refuted, and her advice was not being accepted, but she couldn’t just watch Kaguya look so helpless.

So, she began to think hatefully in her heart, it's all Young Master Xia Chuan's fault!

Why suddenly introduce extra personnel for no reason? Such inexplicable behavior, especially since the other party is one of the president candidates.

Moreover, judging from the young lady's description, Young Master Xia Chuan's attitude towards that Iroha Isshiki seems very unusual.

But in terms of ability alone, her own young lady is definitely better. Even in terms of appearance, the other party is not as good as Miss Fujiwara, and a student council only needs one vase at most…

Hayasaka Ai thought a lot, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't guess Xia Chuan Qin's intentions, as if the other party really just had a temporary idea…

However, that was impossible. Young Master Xia Chuan is a firm actionist. It can be seen from the means he used to approach the young lady that he has extremely strong execution ability, and his actions are definitely not without purpose.

So, what is the reason? If he likes the young lady, then bringing in the so-called “love rival” can be explained as creating an external crisis, but isn't Xia Chuan Qin's real target her?

Could it be that she misjudged it at the beginning? But what happened that day is still vivid in her mind…

Hayasaka Ai frowned, feeling that her thinking had entered a dead end, surrounded by solid walls, with no way to go.

So, she decided to give up thinking, thinking that if it really didn't work, she would risk contacting Xia Chuan Qin again…

“It seems that this is the only way…” Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated, but finally nodded.

If there were other good ways, she would not want Hayasaka to contact the president again.

She still remembers clearly what happened last time. She didn't know what the two of them talked about, but after that, the president became strange, and Hayasaka even took a few days off… Could it be that Hayasaka confessed to the president and was rejected?

That's possible. After all, the president is so excellent, and Hayasaka may have some thoughts about the president after listening to me mention these things every day.

But she trusts Hayasaka, so she is more willing to believe another explanation—that Hayasaka accidentally revealed some thoughts while trying to get information from the president, which made the president mistakenly believe that Hayasaka liked him, and then directly rejected her. Afterwards, Little Ai couldn't bear the humiliation and was depressed for several days…

After all, the president is a gentle person. He will definitely feel guilty for rejecting other girls in person, so it's normal for him to be in a bad mood for those few days, yes, that's it!

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded heavily, thinking that the president still cared about her after all. He was unceremonious to other girls, even if he was willing to help them, it was only to fulfill the obligations of the student council president.

060. The enemy is at Honnoji Temple?

Friday, the last moment before the student council temporarily disbanded.

Next Monday is the election time, so rather than saying that this student council is disbanding, it is better to regard it as giving themselves two days off.

After all, he will not lose—the law of victory has been firmly grasped in Xia Chuan Qin's hands.

Although he has been busy with official duties these days and has not gone out to show his face, his subordinates have been making various appearances, major clubs, teacher's offices, student buildings… wherever there are people, the student council will not let it go, and it is determined to imprint its footprints on it.

However, that being said, all that needs to be done is to get acquainted with the freshmen and teachers.

He disdains so-called off-the-table tactics, but he is naturally willing to give a little psychological suggestion. The only problem is that it is very embarrassing to distribute leaflets printed with his own headshot—so he simply does not participate in it and lets other student council members complete it.

It's also interesting to say that Iroha Isshiki, as an extra member, actually acted with their student council, distributing leaflets of the “enemy”, while she herself did not take any publicity measures.

According to the news from Shinomiya, Iroha Isshiki still has a professional team behind her to take care of her public relations, but recently she doesn't know why she hasn't taken any action.

Is she afraid of being caught by him? Xia Chuan Qin was a little puzzled.

He had always suspected that the team was composed of “anti-Qin party” members, with the goal of bringing him down and pushing him off the stage, but it is difficult not to suspect that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it if they don't take action at such a good opportunity.

But after thinking about it carefully, even the biggest conspiracy will be broken through in the face of absolute power, so he doesn't think there is anything to be afraid of.

In terms of the internet, the overall public opinion direction of the campus forum has been controlled by them. In reality, they have not seen the other party stand up to resist, completely abandoning themselves, and even the auxiliary candidates have come to his student council and are working for him, as if they are performing “Why did your Majesty surrender first”.

Then what has he been vigilant about for so long?

It really feels like when he was preparing to punch with all his strength in a ring match, the other party suddenly raised a white flag, highlighting the fact that he was not allowed to enjoy himself.

Is he from France?

Well, in short, there is no need to worry about the election. Now what he needs to think about is who to find to give the support speech.

Last time, he asked Kaguya Shinomiya to give the support speech. This time, he will also hand it over to her unless there are any accidents, but he doesn't know if Shinomiya will agree, after all, she seems to be in a bad mood recently.

Or should he go to Fujiwara Chika?

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Xia Chuan Qin began to weigh the pros and cons.

If he remembers correctly, Fujiwara should be born into a political family. She must have a lot of experience in this area under the influence of what she has seen and heard, but her personality is so… unique that it is difficult to believe that she can handle this matter well.

Fortunately, the speaker does not need to be so outstanding, as long as they perform in a satisfactory manner. The more critical thing is to have a certain popularity and leadership, which can also facilitate him to canvass votes.

Don't look at Fujiwara Chika often acting like a fool in the student council, but she is still very popular on campus, and her leadership is not bad, at least stronger than Shirogane and Ishigami. Everyone knows that Kaguya Shinomiya is on his side, so even if Shinomiya does not give a speech on stage, it will not affect the votes of those who support her. With the supporters of Fujiwara Chika and a small group loyal to him, the election will definitely be in his hands…

Thinking of this, Xia Chuan Qin no longer hesitated, picked up his phone and prepared to ask Fujiwara Chika to talk.

Before long, Fujiwara Chika appeared with a smile on her face, shouting, “Yahallo! What's the matter with the president looking for me? I'm busy researching insects.”

Then she took out a magnifying glass to pretend.

Xia Chuan Qin glanced at her, thinking that she really has a sense of atmosphere, and then beckoned her to sit on the sofa.

“In short, I'm here to talk about the support speech next week. I hope you can help me become the speaker.”

When dealing with Fujiwara Chika, go straight to the point if you can, don't beat around the bush, otherwise it is easy to fall into her conversation rhythm, and she is very good at pulling other people's thinking into her peculiar brain circuit and then defeating them with rich experience, so don't chat too much if you can.

Otherwise, what awaits you is a brain-dead ending.

“Support speech?” Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, looking very puzzled, “Didn't Kaguya agree to help the president?”

“?” Xia Chuan Qin raised his eyebrows, a little curious as to why she would mention Kaguya Shinomiya, but still answered her truthfully, “I didn't ask Shinomiya for help, I came directly to you.”

So, Fujiwara Chika opened her mouth wide, looking shocked, then smiled, but soon became serious again, five fake expressions in one second, making Xia Chuan Qin stunned.

Did she learn face-changing?

“No, President, you have to go to Kaguya-chan for this kind of thing!”

“Why? Could it be that Fujiwara you… are actually not good at it?” Xia Chuan Qin said suspiciously. This development was beyond his expectations, and he never thought that Fujiwara would refuse this kind of thing.

“That's not the case, I'm super strong! It's just that this kind of thing… it's not Kaguya who can't do it! She's the vice president!”

“There's no rule that the vice president must give the speech, right? I think you're quite suitable, Fujiwara.” Provided that you can be more serious, Xia Chuan Qin thought.

“Oh, President, you don't understand, anyway, you must go to Kaguya for this kind of thing.” Fujiwara Chika hummed softly, and then began to use the special skills of girls, “In short, this matter is decided!”

“Also, because the president didn't let me give a support speech, as compensation, you have to treat me to ramen next time!”

“Eat ramen again? Is it that delicious…” Xia Chuan Qin subconsciously complained, but then remembered that the point was not there at all, “That's not right, I didn't not let you help, you clearly refused, okay?!”

And still saying compensation, it's just digging a hole for money!

“I don't care, this is the privilege of girls! Stupid President, hurry up and contact Kaguya, I'm going to continue researching insects.” Fujiwara Chika stuck out her tongue at him, and then ran away, not giving Xia Chuan Qin a chance to persuade her at all.

“……”

Forget it, let's contact Shinomiya, at least she is far more reliable than Fujiwara Chika.

Xia Chuan Qin rubbed his temples, feeling a little helpless.

With Fujiwara's personality, she shouldn't think this is troublesome, she would push this matter to Kaguya Shinomiya, which really surprised Xia Chuan Qin, so along with it, Xia Chuan Qin began to doubt, if he asked Shinomiya for help, would she also refuse him?

Could it really be “the enemy is at Honnoji Temple”?

061. Can't guess, can't guess at all!

He sent a few messages to Kaguya Shinomiya with his phone, but he didn't see a reply for a long time. There was no way, Xia Chuan Qin had to go to her class to find her in person.

But on the way, he met an unexpected person.

“Are you… Hayasaka Ai?” Xia Chuan Qin was a little unsure.

Standing in front of him was a blonde girl dressed as a spicy girl. The other party came up and said that she had something to talk to him about. He naturally wanted to refuse at first, after all, he still had something to find Kaguya about, but suddenly he thought of someone—Kaguya's maid, Hayasaka Ai.

“It's me.” Hayasaka Ai nodded. As expected, Young Master Xia Chuan knew her. Even if she didn't introduce herself, he could recognize her.

“What's the matter?” Xia Chuan Qin asked in confusion.

He had known Kaguya for so long, but it was the first time he had officially met Hayasaka Ai. As Kaguya's attendant maid, she should have come to him specifically for Kaguya's affairs, right? But why didn't Kaguya come to him directly?

“Shall we talk somewhere else?”

“…Okay.” So, Xia Chuan Qin followed the other party to a more hidden place.

“Miss Kaguya, she has not been in a good mood recently…”

After confirming that Xia Chuan Qin could recognize her, Hayasaka Ai no longer pretended to be a spicy girl, but became respectful, but the distance was a bit far, not at all like she was going to talk.

Xia Chuan Qin didn't care, he just thought she was used to being vigilant, but what she said made him very concerned.

“Not in a good mood…”

It wasn't that he couldn't find this out, but what was the use of discussing it with him? He couldn't do anything.

He could only answer based on experience.

“Do you want to contact Fujiwara? I heard that girls going shopping together will make their mood better.”

“……” Hayasaka Ai glanced at him, thinking that this guy really knows how to pretend.

You are clearly adjusting the young lady!

If she didn't know that the other party was currently single, she would really want to find an opportunity to teach this scumbag a lesson, so as not to let him bully her young lady again.

Come at her directly if you have anything to say! What's the ability to bully Miss Kaguya?!

“Young Master Xia Chuan, I hope you can be more frank, and… be nicer to the young lady, please.” Hayasaka Ai lowered her head slightly, her attitude was very respectful and sincere.

“Be more frank…” Xia Chuan Qin nodded slightly. His attitude towards Kaguya was indeed a bit too much. He was always provoking her, challenging her, and liked to use various things to attract her attention.

Now it seems that his past actions were completely like a stupid elementary school student who wanted to attract a girl's attention, too childish.

“Okay, I understand, I will pay attention.” He replied.

The various things in the past were indeed his problem. He wanted to establish a connection with Kaguya through those methods, but that was not what he was good at. It was possible that he had done something that hurt Kaguya.

He himself didn't have any awareness, and thought that Kaguya regarded this as fun, but even the other party's maid couldn't stand it anymore and ran to him, the person involved, to give advice.

Now he really feels very ashamed.

“Sorry, please help me to… no, I'd better go myself.” Xia Chuan Qin said softly, his words showing some guilt.

Originally, he had something to discuss with Kaguya, but now there was another reason.

The only thing he found troublesome was that he was afraid that Kaguya would reject him then.

“……” Hayasaka Ai was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect Xia Chuan Qin to agree so simply.

At this time, shouldn't he take the opportunity to make some requests to her? Such as going out on a date or something?

This is unscientific!

"Young Master Xia Chuan... is there nothing else you want to say?"

As far as Hayasaka Ai was concerned, she had long been prepared to make sacrifices, thinking that she would be forced to agree to some excessive conditions or something. When that happened, she would take the opportunity to let Kaguya-sama discover it, or simply use a recording pen or something to record Xia Chuanzou's criminal process...

But you're telling her you don't want anything?

Then how is she supposed to make the young lady pull back from the brink?!

"Uh, anything else to say..." Xia Chuanzou frowned, thought for a long time and didn't feel like he should say anything else, and finally weakly said: "Take good care of your young lady?"

Hayasaka Ai: "..."

That's it? Did you even need to say that? I'm talking about something more excessive! Something that exposes your desires more!

You don't want your young lady to be played with, do you? So be good and...
