"Studying medicine can't save the people of Fukushima..." Kuriyama Mai almost blurted out this sentence.
But after all, she was only a 15-year-old high school student. It was already a good step to think of. Kuriyama Mai shook his head subconsciously.
Asuka Yui's slightly sallow face under the light just raised her head and saw him shaking his head in denial. For a moment, the girl bit her lips and her body trembled slightly.
"Kuriyama-senpai...do you think I'm not good enough?"
Kuriyama Mai pondered for a while. Maybe she had great hopes of going to Tokyo University, but if she really wanted to save those Fukushima victims, even if he gave his full help, he would still...
"It's hard to say." He said reluctantly.
After all, not long ago, the Neon Supreme Court just ruled that the Japanese government does not need to bear any responsibility for the Fukushima victims.
"Hahaha~" Asaka Yui suddenly leaned back on the sofa and laughed, but her eyes were lowered.
"I'm just kidding, senior. Isn't it too ridiculous for me to say that I want to take the entrance examination to the School of Medicine at Tokyo University..."
Her aggressive appearance made Kuriyama Mai feel a little distressed. He quickly waved his hand:
"That's not what I meant, Asaka, you will have no problem getting into Tokyo University."
"I believe you!" Kuriyama Mai tried his best to let his fierce eyes shine with affirmation.
Although the Tokyo University School of Medicine is known as a hellish difficulty, for those who can get into Tokyo Arashimine Private High School from Fukushima, it may be just a piece of cake.
The corners of Asaka Yui's mouth finally raised a small arc, but she shook her head unconfidently:
"But...I can't keep up with the teacher's lectures lately. I'm always half a beat behind the classmates around me to understand."
"Is it just half a beat?" Kuriyama Mai asked slightly surprised.
"Asianxiang, you are already very good. You have to know that after the club activities of the classmates around you are over, they go straight to the cram school, while you are working part-time..."
"If you don't mind, Asaka-kun, I can lend you 10 million yen in my own name, and I will pay you back after you graduate from Tokyo University and make money."
"After all, if you want to get into Tokyo University of Medicine, you can't work all your spare time. You have to take cram schools to keep up."
She has already received 55 points of excitement from this girl, and all of them can be exchanged for 11 million yen, which is enough for her to concentrate on studying until she graduates.
Before the girl could speak, Kuriyama Mai felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. Being able to protect other people's dreams must be the most fulfilling life.
He looked at her proudly, and began to imagine the future that the girl would change because of him.
However, Asaka Yui closed her math textbook hard, her little head shaking like a wave.
Kuriyama Mai felt that he might have ignored the girl's self-esteem, and quickly added:
"It's a loan. After you graduate and find a job, I will pay you back without any hesitation. Don't worry."
"If you still fail to pass after several years of graduation, I will call the police~"
He deliberately emphasized the words 'borrow' and 'call the police'.
Asaka's amber eyes stared at him firmly:
"Thank you for your kindness, senior, I don't need it for the time being."
"I have offended you so much and I have sinned so much, please forgive me."
The cold honorific made Kuriyama Mai suddenly feel that although she was sitting next to him, she seemed to be separated by a Milky Way.
But he still asked reluctantly:
"It's just, Asaka, why do you have to work so hard? Your goal is obviously to get into Tokyo University, but you are still doing these completely opposite things."
Asaka Yui bit her lip with a solemn expression, her cheeks turned red shyly, and the flesh-colored stockings between her knees made a rustling sound uneasily.
"Because although the school said it was a full scholarship, the school uniforms, miscellaneous fees, and accommodation fees for renting a house in Tokyo are much higher than expected..."
"Besides, I can't bear to spend my mother's money anymore..."
Seeing her uneasy look, Kuriyama Mai felt that he was getting closer to her, so he changed to a serious business tone and said:
"Asianxiang, just treat this as an investment. If you still have concerns, how about writing an IOU and setting an annual interest rate of 0.5%?"
"What I'm betting on now is a probability, because maybe in the future you will remember this kindness and give me an excess return."
"I believe you have this potential, so I decided to invest."
Kuriyama Mai worked very hard to reduce her psychological burden.
After all, great kindness is like enmity, and if you act like you don't expect anything in return, it will actually increase the psychological pressure after she accepts it.
"But..." Asaka Yui breathed a short breath, her slender fingers kept trembling. She wanted to grab the hem of her skirt, but she couldn't hold it firmly.
"Senior Kuriyama, please forgive me, but can you let me think about it? I have some reasons that are difficult to express."
She stared at her knees, her eyes slightly teary, but her voice sounded calm.
Kuriyama Mai felt that it would be unusual for her to accept it all at once, so she responded softly:
"If you need anything, just come to me. I'm in Class C, sophomore year."
"Thank you very much~"
She tilted her head and looked over, her eyes sparkling, but her lips were pursed tightly and her voice was quite weak.
"It's nothing. I just helped you buy a limited edition doll for a friend tonight, and it really makes me unhappy to see you being bullied."
"And you cooperated with me and gave me the same opportunity as the super VIP. Speaking of which, I also have to thank you, Asaka."
"We are friends who help each other."
Kuriyama Mai explained with a relaxed expression, so as not to put any more psychological baggage on the girl's already heavy burden.
"Friend? Does Kuriyama-senpai really consider me a friend?"
Asaka Yui looked over with wide eyes, "I originally thought that someone like me would not be able to make friends at Arashimine High School."
There was some loneliness and helplessness in her voice.
Kuriyama Mai could understand her feelings very well and sighed silently in his heart:
"Even Hayami Ruri, who was born into a wealthy family in rural Chiba, has a hard time making friends in this high school, let alone a poor student like her."
He couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said to Asaka Yui:
"But it's not a good thing to make friends with me. After all, I'm a notorious delinquent in school..."
"It might make other students stay away from you even more."
"No!" Yui Asaka shook her head firmly, "Kuriyama-senpai turns out to be so gentle. I won't give up because of these reasons."
She stood up and walked to Kuriyama Mai and bowed solemnly.
"Before, I was really embarrassed."
"sorry."
Seeing her leaning over and accidentally revealing a little, but not much, of her white porcelain breasts, Kuriyama Mai quickly stood up and helped her shoulders.
He made his expression as gentle as possible, took a deep breath through his nose, and slowly comforted:
"It's not Asaka's fault, my first impression is indeed like a delinquent, and I don't like good people wearing school uniforms, it's too restrictive."
"But if there are really bad guys who dare to bully you in the future, please tell me and I will help you deal with them."
"Really?"
Asaka Yui straightened up and looked up at him. The protruding Adam's apple seemed to have a mysterious charm.
"It would be great if he was here back then..."
Her heart began to beat wildly, and she didn't know where to put her hands in a panic. She couldn't help but want to stand on tiptoes to get closer to him.
Suddenly, she felt that the boy in front of her was even more handsome than the internet celebrity named Milk on Tik ToK.
[Heartbeat value +200 points]
Quiet midnight, empty locker room.
Even without the system reminding him, Kuriyama Mai could still hear her erratic heartbeat.
"Of course, it's not just because we're friends."
"And I can't stand those bad guys who bully the weak. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is nothing."
He spoke righteously, but in his heart he was thinking about whether to kiss the girl's cherry-colored lips, which looked rosy and sweet.
Asaka stood on her tiptoes, and her cute little face got closer and closer to Kuriyama Mai, as if his breath was right in front of her eyes.
In a deserted locker room at midnight?
Forget it, it's not good. This will make her think that I had ulterior motives before, Kuriyama Mai thought secretly in her heart.
"Is he here to help his friend buy a doll?" Asaka Yui's mind popped up at an inappropriate time, "What kind of friend is worthy of queuing up all night?"
The two of them took a step back almost at the same time.
Kuriyama Mai took advantage of the situation and yawned, sat back on the sofa, and found that the time had reached 3:34 in the morning.
Asaka's face was flushed, but her heartbeat had not yet calmed down.
Her eyes kept wandering back and forth on Kuriyama Mai, her hands held the skirt in front of her tightly, and she asked uneasily:
"Um, I want to ask, Kuriyama-senpai, are you buying dolls for your girlfriend?"
