While Ayame Komi remained silent, Hayakawa suddenly spoke up and asked.

"She's already asleep on the sofa. It seems she's had a tough week with exams; she's fallen asleep twice today."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng remembered her business and quickly said, "I came here to ask you for a blanket."

When a person sleeps, their body temperature is at its lowest, so sleeping without covering yourself can easily lead to a cold.

"It's in my closet."

Hayakawa said something, then stood up and said, "Never mind, I'll get it for you."

Xiao Meilang took the blanket and went out, but less than a minute later she cautiously returned to the room.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa noticed someone coming in, but without looking up, he responded with a sound.

Kominami Aizawa gently hugged him from behind, resting her head against his back and whispering softly.

"Junior..."

Hayakawa paused, his hand holding the pen stilling. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Aisumi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hayakawa could clearly feel the body behind him tremble slightly, and even feel a rise in body temperature.

Hayakawa himself was much calmer. He had long been tired of calling her "senpai" (senpai) every day. In his mind, he was not a junior, but an equal to Ayame Omi, so calling her by her name was the right thing to do.

You seem to be in a bad mood today.

Hayakawa asked calmly, "What happened?"

"..."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng didn't respond immediately, but she didn't let the silence in the room last too long either. She quickly said softly, "I'm thinking about whether I should repeat a year of high school for two more years."

"Two years?"

Hayakawa frowned immediately. He didn't pay attention to the words "retaking the exam," but was more concerned about the two-year timeframe.

It's understandable that Hayakawa would repeat a year of high school. She lacks confidence in passing the college entrance exam next year, and the pressure isn't as intense as it used to be, so repeating another year wouldn't be a problem.

But what's with repeating a year for two years? Does he already predict he won't pass the exam the year after next?

"Ah."

Komi Aizami bit her lower lip tightly and whispered, "Yes, I'm thinking about that."

"why?"

Hayakawa couldn't help but put down his pen, turn around and look seriously at the girl in front of him who had her head down: "You have to give me a reason."

Chapter 548 Little Meilang's Fantasy Moment

You have to give me a reason.

Hayakawa rarely showed a serious expression when facing the girl in front of him. Repeating a grade is no small matter, let alone repeating it for two years.

"Haha,"

Faced with Hayakawa's question, Kominami Aizami chuckled softly: "Junior, why are you so nervous? I was just joking with you. Look at you, you scared me."

"No joke like that."

Hayakawa wasn't fooled, her expression unchanged: "What made you have this idea?"

"..."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng paused for a moment, then lowered her head and slowly said, "I don't want to be separated from you..."

"..."

The moment of surprise lasted only a second; the next second, Hayakawa came to his senses and looked at Mimi Aizawa with disbelief on her face.

The reason is obvious and straightforward: she is a first-year high school student, while Xiaomeilang will be taking the college entrance exam next year. If she doesn't get into the national medical university she longs for, everything will remain the same. But if she does get in, she will naturally have to leave this city and go to Tokyo to study for four years, which will naturally separate her from Hayakawa.

Hayakawa frowned, staring intently at the loli-like senior in front of him, still feeling the shock from just now. He had always thought that Minami Aizami was a very determined girl, after all, she was able to move out of her home and live alone for her dream. Only she knew how much she had suffered in the process. So Hayakawa really didn't expect that Minami Aizami would have such an irrational idea for the sake of love.

"What are you thinking?"

Hayakawa couldn't help but poke Mimi Aizawa's smooth forehead hard, as if trying to dissuade her from her thoughts with this action: "No."

"But if I don't do this, I might have to leave next year."

Komi Aizami forcefully pushed Hayakawa's finger back, then her momentum waned as she whispered, "And for so long, you can only come back during holidays each year. I don't want to be separated from you for so long, because long-distance relationships don't work out..."

"Ok?"

When Hayakawa heard the last sentence from Miura Aijo, he immediately felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard those words somewhere before.

After thinking about it carefully... isn't this just the excuse I made up to fool May a few days ago?!

"..."

Hayakawa's face was blank; the reasons he had once used now felt like sharp boomerangs piercing his own body.

Is this the price of deceiving young girls...?

"Sigh... Don't think about such nonsensical things."

Hayakawa sighed, then advised, "Think about it carefully. Even if you get into university, we won't be separated. You can come back twice next year, right? And if you miss me, I can come to Tokyo to see you. It won't take long by high-speed rail, after all, Japan isn't that big."

"It's been a long time, okay?"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng muttered something, but her expression clearly softened.

"And I'll most likely apply to the University of Tokyo,"

Seeing this, Hayakawa immediately pressed his advantage, saying expressionlessly, "Think about it carefully, even if you repeat a year for two years, can you still pass the exam?"

Are you trying to comfort me?

Mimi Aizami puffed out her pink cheeks in anger: "Fine, I won't get in, but it's okay if I don't. Don't you know that the National Medical University is also in Tokyo? It will be very convenient to travel back and forth then."

This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

Hayakawa thought to himself: So the medical university is also in Tokyo. That will definitely make things much more convenient.

"You'll definitely get into Tokyo University."

Kominami Aizawa reached out her hand to Hayakawa and said with a smile, "I'll go to university to become a doctor, and you can go to the University of Tokyo. The two schools are very close to each other, so we can go out and play together when we don't have classes. That's my dream of university life."

"It really is a fantasy."

Hayakawa nodded: "Whether it's a medical school or the University of Tokyo, without a doubt, their schedules are packed with classes. There's never a time when they don't have classes."

"Can you please not spoil my fun?"

"Even a good university can't have a full schedule all the time," said Aimi Nami, sounding annoyed.

"And you seem to have a lot of confidence in me."

Hayakawa smiled slightly: "Are you so sure I can get into a good university? What if I don't perform well on the college entrance exam and can only go to an ordinary top-tier university? What if I don't get in at all?"

"How could that be? Don't say such unlucky things, junior! Quickly say 'pui pui pui'!"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's face panicked, and she said nervously, "Heaven rewards diligence. A junior like you who works so hard will definitely be rewarded. If even you can't get into the University of Tokyo, then the area around the University of Tokyo must be a no-man's land."

"It's not that bad..."

Hayakawa, feeling a bit smug after being praised by Ayami Kominami, feigned modesty and said, "There are still people who are better than me, ahahaha!"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was a little embarrassed: "Junior, no man's land is just a definition. There will still be a few people there. It's not really no man's land."

"……Oh."

"In short, don't even think about repeating a year."

Hayakawa glanced at Minami Aizawa: "When you go to university, if you miss me, just tell me, and I'll make time to come to Tokyo to see you."

"Mmm Good."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's face was beaming with joy. After nodding repeatedly, she added, "Actually, I only had this idea in mind. I really wouldn't dare to repeat a year."

"really."

Hayakawa said seriously, "Besides, it's too early for you to have such concerns now. You might not even pass the college entrance exam next year, so it's too much to worry about the troubles after you go to university."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng said expressionlessly, "...Quickly say 'Pui pui pui'."

"Is there anything else?"

After resolving the girl's troubles, Hayakawa immediately returned to his original state, turning back to his desk with a stern face and his paper and pen: "If there's nothing else, you can leave now. I need to continue studying. If you're playing games with Umaru, just keep it down. Don't come in and disturb me unless it's important. And don't forget to close the door when you leave."

"You're so cold-hearted."

Kominami Aizumi pursed her lips tightly, her purple eyes gleaming with a hint of malice: "It's winter break, and the three of us are all together, yet you're still thinking about studying. Shouldn't you be playing games all day? Stop studying, let's come out and play! We'll continue playing when Umaru wakes up later, the three of us together!"

"No way! You two can play by yourselves."

Hayakawa's face was filled with refusal; countless practice problems were calling to him, how could he bear to refuse?

"Junior!"

Aimi Nami was a little angry, but after taking a deep breath, she said patiently, "Be a little more youthful. Right now, you give me the feeling of a lifeless old man. That's not a likable thing."

Chapter 549 Youth is…

Why should I try to please others when I have nothing better to do? Isn't it perfectly fine to be on my own?

Hayakawa thought to himself, and then uttered his motto: "Youth? The ultimate meaning of youth is learning."

Then he launched into his usual cliché: young boys and girls are immersed in the beautiful youth they've woven from their own fantasies, using words like ponytails, pleated skirts, bob haircuts, blackboards, breaks between classes, and love letters to describe it…

However, all of this is meaningless. When time flies by and you have grown up, you will suddenly look back on your past and realize how many years of your youth you have wasted. Regret will fill your heart, and you will be saddened and unable to extricate yourself.

Youth is incredibly beautiful, and so memorable. Almost everyone who reaches middle age can't help but reminisce, wishing they could go back in time and say those unspoken words to xxx...

But many more people are thinking: If I could go back to my student days, I would definitely study hard, because my current life is so unsatisfactory. This is the bitter fruit of wasting my youth in the past.

So, young men and women, find your place. Right now, you have nothing in school: no experience, no knowledge, no ability. All you have is a heart that hasn't cooled down and a young body. Only by working hard while there is still time to strive can you change your future destiny.

and so…

"stop!!!"

Xiao Mei Nami impatiently stopped Hayakawa's long-winded speech, plugging her ears and saying irritably, "You've said these things countless times, I'm sick of hearing them. My high school homeroom teacher said something similar to me. I feel like you're becoming more and more like that kind of stubborn and rigid old man, junior."

After finishing her sentence, Xiaomei lowered her hand and kept rolling her eyes. She had been making that expression ever since Hayakawa started talking.

"You've heard it so many times, why is it still not going well... why don't you accept it?"

Hayakawa said with a serious expression.

"You were just trying to say 'obey,' weren't you?"

Kominami Aizami sighed helplessly and looked at Hayakawa earnestly, saying, "Junior, youth isn't what you think it is."

"what?"

Hayakawa was immediately puzzled. What else could youth be besides being boring, tedious, and endless studying?

"I admit you're right, the most important thing during student years is of course studying,"

After thinking for a moment, Aimi Nami said seriously, "But learning is not just about learning the knowledge in textbooks."

Hayakawa frowned and remained silent.

"I admit that learning from textbooks and getting good grades is important so that I can go to a good university for further studies, and I have been working hard on this path. But life is not just one path, and youth is not just one kind of thing."

"Students reading comics, playing games, reading novels, and reading extracurricular books are not all useless. Maybe you can become a comic artist, a professional fighter, or a writer. If you like playing soccer, you can go to a sports university to become an athlete. The same goes for liking other sports."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng said, "Youth is not just about studying. Even if a student doesn't like studying, as long as he plans his life path reasonably, finds his future path during his school years, and finds a career that he likes and is willing to work hard for, then whatever he does is not a waste of his youth as you said."

Komi Nami spoke without blinking, not denying Hayakawa's words, but using her own words to calm Hayakawa's overreaction.

Because she knew that Hayakawa was absolutely right. Study hard and then give it your all in the college entrance exam. No matter how many people say "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge", this is the broad road for students. On the contrary, what she said might just be a single-plank bridge. It would be good if one out of a hundred people could do what they love.

Student years, especially high school, are undoubtedly the most crucial period in a person's life. Elementary and junior high school are one thing, but during that time, you're just a child who doesn't know what the future or what the future holds. But high school is different.

No matter where you are, graduating from high school is basically equivalent to becoming an adult. It is a transitional stage in life. When you enter high school, you are still a child, but after graduating from high school, you are an adult who needs to be responsible for yourself and your future. Some people even have to take on family responsibilities at an early age.

As Hayakawa said, some people in high school only think about reading comics and dating, without studying or thinking about what will happen after graduation. Compared with others, they have indeed wasted their lives. Therefore, for children from ordinary families, studying should indeed be the main theme of their youth.

but…

"If you act like this now, you definitely won't regret not trying harder in the future,"

Kominami Aizami leans closer to Hayakawa: "But you'll still have regrets."
