Seriously, this guy! If the background were any simpler, she would have been eager to stand up for Kaguya Shinomiya and then drop the Shizuri sword.
Jingle bell bell bell~
A phone rang urgently outside the door.
Hayasaka Ai glanced at Kaguya, whose eyes were full of resentment and almost seemed to be brimming with tears, and then turned to answer the phone.
After hearing only half a sentence, his face immediately showed deep surprise and astonishment, and he even couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice:
"real?".
Chapter 198 Young Miss, it's your honor!
It can make a maid who is usually expressionless, or at least in the eyes of outsiders, almost "three-no" (no expression, no emotion, no personality) lose control of her expression.
Needless to say, it's a very big deal.
Even the melancholy Kaguya Shinomiya, lying in bed, couldn't resist her curiosity. After Ai Hayasaka hung up the phone, she asked, "Hayasaka, what is it?"
"Young Miss, wait a moment, I'll go outside to get something and you'll find out soon," Hayasaka Ai said, then turned and left.
"Eh……"
Kaguya Shinomiya felt a sense of helplessness.
But Hayasaka Ai was already gone, so all she could do was... hmph! She could only continue to vent her resentment on that bastard Luo Chen!
"Baka! Baka baka!"
Kaguya Shinomiya casually grabbed a plush toy and started squeezing and banging it, treating it like Luo Chen.
She really found Luo Chen extremely annoying.
I promised to help her with the student council election and even took her money, but she went back on her word and won't help with the fall trip this time either.
Okay, even if she admits that the pressure from the Shinomiya family is so strong, Luo Chen probably really has no way to help.
But is such a clean and decisive rejection necessary?
They won't say many nice things, like, "Vice President, I really want to help you, Kaguya-san. If you insist on going, I'll do anything to help you..."
While teasing the plush toy, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but frown slightly, then spaced out.
Somewhat strange.
Or rather, it's clearly very strange!
She clearly hated Luo Chen to the core, absolutely loathed him, but why did she always find herself thinking about him involuntarily?
Kaguya Shinomiya was lost in thought for two minutes before finally realizing why she often thought of Luo Chen… because the student council president was an absolute jerk!
Isn't it normal to think of this annoying guy whenever you're unhappy because you hate Luo Chen, and to mentally whip him a hundred times over?
Squeak!
The bedroom door was pushed open again.
Hayasaka Ai returned, carrying a red document that resembled an invitation.
Kaguya Shinomiya gathered her thoughts and decided that she wouldn't think about that annoying guy, Luo Chen, for at least today. She looked up and asked, "Hayasaka, what's that?"
Invitation~
Hayasaka Ai said uncertainly, then after holding it up to examine it, her tone became certain, "It's an invitation."
"An invitation? For me? If it doesn't specify that it has to be me, then don't bring it." Kaguya Shinomiya subconsciously felt annoyed by these things.
"This is specially for you, Miss," Hayasaka Ai instructed.
Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes narrowed. There was no way to avoid it. Resigned, she reached out her hand and said, "Then just give it to me. After all, she's a daughter of the Shinomiya family..."
"Miss."
Hayasaka Ai felt sorry for Kaguya Shinomiya's resigned appearance and couldn't bear to hide it any longer, so she said, "It was given to you by that young master."
"what?"
Kaguya Shinomiya was taken aback.
Immediately, with lightning speed, he tore open the envelope a hundred times faster than usual and took out a red invitation card.
The words above are very simple, just one sentence:
Luo Chen cordially invites Ms. Kaguya Shinomiya to a small gathering at the JS Research Institute next Monday to discuss the specifics of Seigaku's situation and Ms. Kaguya Shinomiya's previous invitation for him to join the Shinomiya family.
[Name: Adachi Ward JS Research Institute, Luo Chen]
Kaguya Shinomiya didn't immediately grasp the situation, as it concerned Luo Chen, and her subconscious reaction was a beat slow.
She even looked up and asked Hayasaka Ai suspiciously, "Hayasaka, what does this guy mean by suddenly sending me this invitation? Does he really want to discuss Seigaku with me? Also, has he finally come to his senses about the thing I tried to win him over before?"
Hayasaka Ai replied with a helpless but calm tone, "Miss, I think he never intended to join the Shinomiya family. Discussing Seigaku or anything like that is just a pretext."
Kaguya Shinomiya angrily exclaimed, "What do you mean! Is he playing me for a fool?"
Hayasaka Ai had a moment of doubt. People say that girls who fall in love become stupid. Why hasn't the young lady fallen in love? But does she become stupid when it comes to Luo Chen?
baffling.
There was nothing she could do; it seemed Kaguya Shinomiya genuinely didn't understand. So she had to explain openly: "I think the young master's idea is to take this opportunity to give the young lady an excuse to leave JS Research Institute, so that she can easily participate in the autumn trip."
"what?"
Kaguya was startled, blinked several times, stared blankly at Hayasaka Ai, then shook her head with a laugh and waved her hand, "Don't joke around, Hayasaka, why would he be so kind?"
In her mind, Luo Chen was a completely selfish and self-serving guy!
Before the day before yesterday, she had already temporarily abandoned her prejudice against Luo Chen and prepared to assist Luo Chen, the president.
However, Luo Chen's rejection yesterday made her very angry again, and she held a grudge again. Naturally, Luo Chen once again became a hated person in her mind.
Instead of answering, Hayasaka Ai asked, "Then, Miss, do you think the student council president would kindly and sincerely join the Shinomiya family?"
"of course not!"
Kaguya Shinomiya answered quickly and decisively, and even wanted to add that the guy was incredibly stubborn and seemed to completely disregard the position of a retainer of the Shinomiya family.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, she was slightly taken aback, sitting blankly on the bed, lost in thought and confusion.
Hayasaka Ai said, "Therefore, there are only two possibilities for the president to send an invitation at this time. Since the latter is less likely than the former, the fact is obvious."
Kaguya Shinomiya remained silent, her head bowed, unable to suppress the memory of the day before yesterday when she had asked Luo Chen for help.
In fact, Luo Chen didn't seem to be so heartless as to reject her outright or mock her; it was just her preconceived notion.
Even at the very end, she was the one who took the initiative to say it was okay, and then she just left without giving Luo Chen a chance to reply.
Kaguya Shinomiya's mind was in turmoil. Because it was so chaotic, she was still trying to convince herself: "Even so, even so, Hayasaka, how could he, as the young master of a small JS Research Institute, possibly invite me with just an invitation? My family would not allow me to attend such an invitation!"
Hayasaka Ai calmly opened her phone and read: "Just yesterday, the president officially defeated the genius Kuzuryu in the Dragon King Challenge, and was ultimately ranked as a professional 7-dan, but in reality, he is a professional 8-dan, and even a genius boy, a crazy 8-dan player, who is a level above ordinary 8-dan."
Beneath Kaguya Shinomiya's unconsciously bewildered and helpless expression, Ai Hayasaka continued to explain:
“A genius like him is a shoo-in for becoming a member of the Nine Aces. If we are fortunate enough to recruit the Shinomiya family, all the elders will go crazy for him. So, Miss…”
"You're wrong! The chairman not only has the right to issue this invitation, but others will even see it as an honor for you (the second generation of the family)!"
Chapter 199 Hey! You awful man over there!
"Have you packed it up?"
"If it's okay, let's go."
At noon, Luo Chen stood at the door of Kong Yinzi's room, leaning on the door frame and said.
Kong Yinzi simply slipped on her brown leather shoes, and under Luo Chen's gaze, picked up two folding fans before straightening up and saying that it was okay.
"Why take two?" Luo Chen asked, puzzled.
"If you only have one, and you throw it out to hit someone and don't want to pick it up, you won't have a fan on you. It's better to be prepared," Kong Yinzi explained calmly.
Luo Chen's lips twitched slightly.
Goodness, well-reasoned and supported by evidence, no wonder he's known as the Fan Demon.
"On the contrary, you idiot fiancé, where did you go this morning? Why haven't you shown up yet?" Kong Yinzi scrutinized Luo Chen with her gaze.
We were supposed to leave for the Shakyamuni Hall Study Group this morning!
"Ahem~!"
Luo Chen coughed lightly, making up an excuse on the spot, "My father asked me to go out and take care of some things. After all, my family's situation in Adachi Ward requires taking care of many things."
Although Kong Yinzi was dissatisfied with this, she did not have any doubts.
After accompanying Luo Chen home once, she learned a lot about the specific situation of Luo Chen's family from Shu Yinan.
Luo Chen caught a glimpse of Kong Yinzi believing him out of the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. He then quickly erased the guilt in his heart to avoid giving himself away!
Whether it's delivering an invitation to the Shinomiya family or taking Wanzhi to a love hotel, if Sora finds out about any of this, her jealousy will definitely explode in a second!
The journey was very peaceful.
Besides the folding fan, Kong Yinzi also brought a chess manual, which he was reading with great interest, while Luo Chen was playing on his phone, browsing the shogi forum with no sense of boredom.
