Ai silently watched Lin Yi deceive the ignorant female teacher.
In less than twenty minutes, Lin Yi successfully got her phone number.
If Kobayashi Sumiko hadn't appeared, the female teacher might not have been willing to leave.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Kobayashi Sumiko greeted Lin Yi, "The principal has already explained the situation to me. Just leave Ai to me."
"Then I'll leave Ai to you."
Lin Yi extended his hand to Kobayashi Sumiko in a serious manner, completely different from the face he had shown the female teacher earlier.
What an act…
"You're welcome, it's my duty."
Kobayashi Sumiko shook hands with Lin Yi with a smile.
"I have something to say to you."
Suddenly, Ai waved at Lin Yi, signaling him to bend down.
Lin Yi didn't say anything, but Kobayashi Sumiko educated Ai, "Haibara-san, you should use honorifics when addressing people, otherwise it seems impolite."
"Yes, yes." Lin Yi nodded, fanning the flames from the side, "Children should act like children. If you don't use honorifics when addressing people, you might get beaten up at school. I won't care if you get isolated then."
"…"
Ai glanced at Kobayashi Sumiko with a headache, but Kobayashi Sumiko stared back at Ai with righteous eyes. Ai had no choice but to submit, "Lin-nii… Please come over for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Lin Yi bent down with satisfaction, not forgetting to tease her, "You can't say you don't want to go to school now. Didn't we already agree?"
"…"
Ai noticed that Kobayashi Sumiko's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing this, clearly labeling her as naughty.
You…
"After school, I want to see hot food on the table. Otherwise, I'll tell your girlfriends what you just did," Ai threatened.
It seems you still don't believe what I said.
Your threat has no effect on me!
"Okay… I understand."
Lin Yi took a deep look at Ai, then ruffled her hair and said, "Alright, just focus on studying."
Ai quickly swatted away his paw, glared at him, and rearranged her hair.
"Then I'll be leaving first, Miss Kobayashi. I'm counting on you to take care of Ai."
"Please don't worry."
… … … … … …
After arranging for Ai as well, Lin Yi glanced at the treasure chests he had accumulated.
Sixteen ordinary treasure chests, seven silver treasure chests, and two golden treasure chests.
It's time for a round of prize draws.
He went home, grabbed his schoolbag, and returned to Teitan High School.
At the school gate, Lin Yi was stopped by the security guard. The guard wore a stern face and was about to reprimand Lin Yi when Lin Yi slipped him two packs of cigarettes.
The security guard raised his eyebrows, looked left and right to make sure no one was watching, and then accepted the cigarettes. His expression immediately softened a lot: "Young man, don't do this again next time. Always being late, how will you get into university later on?"
Lin Yi nodded perfunctorily a couple of times and then walked towards the teaching building.
As luck would have it, class was dismissed just as he was about to reach the classroom.
Even more unfortunately, this class was taught by the homeroom teacher, Midoriko Nishijima.
As soon as she saw Lin Yi, she immediately asked, "Lin, is your health okay? Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi feigned a cough twice: "I still have one or two coughs… but my health has improved somewhat. Although the doctor said I still need to stay in the hospital for observation, I really missed the days of attending class and studying, and I really missed the teachers and classmates, so I was discharged early."
"Oh dear, you shouldn't have done that! Studying is important, but your health is even more important."
After saying this with concern, Midoriko Nishijima said, "Come to the office with me. I have something to give you."
"Okay."
Lin Yi nodded and followed Midoriko Nishijima to the office with curiosity. Along the way, Midoriko Nishijima showed great concern for Lin Yi, which moved him for a while.
She was beautiful and kind-hearted. If Midoriko Nishijima were ten or twenty years younger, Lin Yi felt that he might not be able to control himself and might commit the act of deceiving his teacher and betraying his ancestors.
Lin Yi had taken sick leave while he was out gallivanting.
To make the act complete, he even hired an actor to lie in the hospital bed to avoid being caught doing something wrong.
According to the information relayed by that actor, Midoriko Nishijima had even come to visit a few times.
Faced with someone who cared about him so much, Lin Yi couldn't help but become honest and well-behaved.
After arriving at the office.
Midoriko Nishijima handed Lin Yi a few copies of "Five Years of College Entrance Exams, Three Years of Simulations" and said, "The exam is in a few days. Lin, you haven't been to class for so long, your studies must have fallen behind a lot. Although it may seem like cramming at the last minute, it's better than doing nothing at all."
"I have some study materials here for you, so take them back and study hard."
Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. He felt that his luck was really bad, having to take an exam as soon as he returned.
Had he known this, he would have stayed away a few more days.
His greatest weakness was studying, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse the teacher.
Alas, he originally wanted to be a handsome man quietly and spend this high school life in a daze, but it seemed impossible now.
Lin Yi pushed the study materials back and said with a smile, "Teacher, don't worry. I've been studying all the time while I was in the hospital. And Ran and Sonoko often came to tutor me!"
He could only become a top student!
Only by becoming a top student could he obtain even more privileges.
At that time, not to mention taking leave for a small matter, even if he was caught kissing on the spot, the teachers would just laugh it off.
"Really?" Midoriko Nishijima asked, slightly surprised.
"Yes."
Lin Yi nodded and patted his chest, saying, "You'll know if I'm lying or not when the exam results come out!"
After making a promise to the homeroom teacher, Lin Yi was able to retreat completely.
Back in the classroom, a group of fangirls rushed up again, asking for guidance on their homework with soft, sweet voices.
Some of the bolder female classmates took advantage of the chaos to touch Lin Yi's butt.
Wow, girls are really scary.
Fortunately, the class bell rang in time, which helped Lin Yi out of the predicament.
Ran and Sonoko were already used to such scenes.
From being jealous at the beginning, to being unhappy, and then to being used to it now.
As soon as Lin Yi came in, both of them were too lazy to go up to him. Anyway, there was plenty of time for lunch, and it wouldn't be too late to ask slowly then.
Obviously, the mentality of both of them was getting better and better.
Sure enough, once they accepted the harem setting, many things could be easily solved.
