Notes on the Passive World

Chapter 16

Atobe Jingo felt like he was possessed.

From the moment he heard that Zongxiang Huaguo was sent to the infirmary, he had been possessed.

He was just curious.

How did it end up like this?

She was so confused that she was about to twist herself into a fried dough twist. However, the expression on her face became more and more arrogant.

The sun was too warm.

The room was too beautiful.

The atmosphere was too intimate.

The man was too good-looking.

Have I reached the age where I have my first awakening of love?

Ha!

Seeing that the man did not answer his question, he pulled the chair back and sat down.

It was as if he would not move if the enemy did not move.

And Huaguo …

Instead, he stared blankly at his own palm.

She didn't expect that she would succeed in replicating his personality on her first attempt.

Furthermore …

Ice World?

Although he hadn't tried this ability yet, the name sounded like it should be very powerful.

After her first victory, she, who had tasted the sweetness of victory, turned her eyes to Atobe and the other youths who were said to be members of the tennis club.

If Atobe could do it, then did it mean that the other members of the tennis club could do it as well?

Her eyes wandered around the group, and Huaguo memorized their faces in her heart.

But …

"Classmate Feng?"

Huaguo was surprised to see a familiar face.

"When I was at the door earlier, I thought you looked familiar. As expected, you are Zongxiang." Feng Nagataro nodded. "How are you doing? Are you still able to go to class in the afternoon?

Do you want me to ask for leave from Ms. Suzuki for you? "

"Even though it is embarrassing to say that," Huaguo thought back to the afternoon class schedule and mumbled, "I feel like my body is still weak."

"Then, you should take a good rest, right?"

"Hmm, hmm."

It wasn't that Fengchang Taro didn't notice the undercurrent in the infirmary, but he still followed the people around him and started to introduce them.

"This is Shinobu Yushi from our tennis club. He is a third-year senior."

"This is from our tennis club?

Hu Liang, he is also a third-year senior. "

"This is Sutaro Akutagawa …"

.....

After a round of introductions, although there were only a dozen people, it could be considered as a preliminary meeting.

Huaguo did not act rashly like he did when he faced Atobe.

After all, the experiment had been done. Instead of considering who would be next, it was better to focus on Atobe, who had proven himself to be a viable candidate.

But then again, one-seventh?

'Does this mean that there are six other personalities in Atobe? '

With that thought in mind, Huaguo's eyes that stared at Atobe were shining like a dragon who had found a treasure.

Her originally gentle green eyes were especially moving because of this unexpected emotion.

Other than successfully distracting Atobe, who was staring at her, it also caused the expression on Yue Ren's face to darken.

Huaguo didn't know what it would mean in other people's eyes. She was only one step away from putting the label 'mine' on people.

However, the palm that was placed on top of the mattress was moving.

The slender fingers rubbed against the mattress like she was thinking about something.

It looked like she wanted to grab the man's hand and intertwine their fingers again.

There were still two weeks left. No matter what, she should be able to replicate it again, right?

Huaguo was so focused on her thoughts that she completely forgot about the presence of the people around her.

The two of them looked at each other affectionately. Coupled with Xiang Ri's angry and dejected look, in the eyes of the rest of the people, it seemed particularly complicated.

Atobe was first dazed by Huaguo's gaze, but soon, realization dawned on him, and the corner of his lips started to curve upward.

But immediately after, he forced himself to suppress the smile on his face, and his face returned to its original look of ease.

However, Xiangri Yueren, who stood before the two but was completely ignored, gripped his fists.

Looking at the situation, how could Ninja Zu not understand what was going on?

It was probably the girl that Xiangri had feelings for who had fallen in love with Atobe.

Furthermore, based on the way Xiangri was acting, they were still at the early stages of the Germinal Organization, and it was not time for them to express their feelings.

If it was just a one-sided love, Ninja Zu might have been able to help Xiangri, but Ninja Zu was thinking about the interaction between Atobe and the girl when they entered the room.

Even though the action of holding hands was a bit awkward, they did not pull their hands away.

It seemed that it was not impossible.

Hmm.

Could it be a hidden double arrow?

Ninja Zu glanced at Atobe with a headache, but the latter did not explain anything. He sat on the chair and even studied the girl on the bed with interest.

So this is the type of girl this guy likes?

Indeed, it fits the aesthetics of beauty that he had always advocated.

But, the sickly beauty and the powerful student council president …

Ninja Zu had a feeling that this was similar to a plot from a TV station.

Ninja Zu complained internally, but on the surface, he kept a straight face. He even had the mood to jot it down in his notebook, suppressing the urge in his heart.

It was supposed to be a three-way situation, but due to the lack of concern from two of them, it made it seem like the third person was overreacting.

The atmosphere in the infirmary was strange.

Initially, the people from the tennis club had come to visit Atobe, but when they saw the strange atmosphere in the room, they all found an excuse to leave.

Even Xiang Hikari, who wanted to give Atobe a good lecture, and the few official candidates who were sneaking glances at the transfer students on the bed were pulled out of the room by Hua Di.

In the end, only Huaguo and Atobe were left in the infirmary.

Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere in the room, neither of them had the intention to speak first.

His eyes glanced at Atobe, who was standing beside him, and he saw the latter studying his palm with a thoughtful expression like he was trying to find a flower in it.

Huaguo waited for a moment.

In the end, he held his breath and closed his eyes to rest. He looked confident and did not explain his overly intimate action earlier.

Atobe did not speak either.

In this quiet atmosphere, Huaguo, who was perfectly fine, started to feel drowsy.

He had just fallen asleep earlier.

When he woke up, he could hear the bell that signaled the end of the class.

Has the afternoon class started?

Is it the first class or the second class?

"Since it is already so late, Atobe should have left already, right?"

With this thought in mind, Huaguo subconsciously turned to look at the seat next to him.

As he expected, the infirmary was empty.

He was alone.

But on the bedside table that originally held a lunchbox, there was a bouquet of roses that had appeared out of nowhere.

Through the thin glass vase, he could clearly see the stem of the roses in the clear water.

It smells so good.

Even though it was not Huaguo's intention, as a new transfer student, she managed to steal the limelight on her first day at the Ice Emperor School.

When he exited the infirmary, it was almost time for school to end.

The limo stopped at the school gate. Silently checking the number tag on the car, Huaguo stepped forward to open the door.

However, there was someone sitting in the backseat.

It was the familiar blue uniform, but he was holding a large jigsaw puzzle that he had no idea where it came from.

He was in the car.

If he was still working on the jigsaw puzzle like this, wouldn't it fall apart if he was not careful?

He debated in his heart for a long time.

"How rare that you would personally come to fetch me."
