Chapter 44: Sigong, I Am the Top Student in the Grade

Go ask her later. Hayasaka Ai really wants to know the recipe of Fujiwara Chika. She doesn’t do it for herself! But... yes! For Miss Kaguya.

But it’s normal for the Shinomiya family to make a few more servings. It’s normal for her, as the lady’s personal maid, to eat one serving!

Hayasaka Ai made a decision and must ask for clarification later.

“Why are you looking at it? I’ve finished my homework... ahem, have I finished the exercises I gave you?”

Hayasaka Ai stopped writing, “Ling classmate... what did you just say? What I’m doing now is your class’s homework?”

Uchiha Ling said sternly, “How is it possible! This is all for your academic performance. I made the exercises specially. Am I the kind of person who lets others do my homework for me and then I mess it up!”

“....”

Although in the end, Hayasaka Ai still finished Uchiha Ling’s weekend homework with her true level... congratulations.

On the other hand, Fujiwara Chika didn't hide her strength like Hayasaka Ai. She felt lonely in this study session among top students...

Shinomiya Kaguya: "Fujiwara-san, this is how we should do it."

Uchiha Ling: "No, no, Fujiwara-san, my method is more effective and very suitable for students with your grades."

Shinomiya Kaguya bypassed Fujiwara Chika and looked directly into Uchiha Ling's eyes.

"My method is the fastest and most effective. Fujiwara-san is absolutely right to use mine."

Uchiha Ling snorted, "Your method is okay for you to use yourself, but Fujiwara-san's calculation ability is not comparable to yours. Compared with your advanced method, my simple algorithm should be more suitable for her."

The two confronted each other. Although they both used their own methods to calculate the correct answer, neither of them was willing to recognize the other.

At this time! A third person is needed to break the deadlock!

Hayasaka Ai knew this truth very well, so she silently wrote (Uchiha Ling's) homework and didn't intend to care about the affairs of the eldest lady and Ling.

As for Chika Fujiwara, who is at the center of the vortex, she always feels that Kaguya Shinomiya's method is too complicated to calculate, and Uchiha Ling's algorithm... eh? Can it be like this!

"How about this, Shinomiya classmate, no matter how we argue, it's useless, why don't we let Fujiwara classmate do a problem and see which method she uses!"

Chika Fujiwara is sweating, the battle between the first and second grade is about to burn over!

Kaguya Shinomiya smiled imperceptibly, "Well, it just so happens that I'm thirsty. The loser of this competition will go and bring tea to the other party."

"I... I'm done..."

As soon as Kaguya Shinomiya finished speaking, a pink-haired person had already solved the next problem. And the one who used... was Uchiha Ling's simple algorithm.

Kaguya Shinomiya: "..." She was a little unwilling!

And Uchiha Ling pretended to cough. "Shinomiya, my throat is so dry, I'm a little thirsty~ Go and pour some tea."

Shinomiya Kaguya gritted her teeth, "Why would Fujiwara use your method!"

"Shinomiya, I'm the top student in the grade."

"You..."

Door: Bang!

Shinomiya Kaguya walked out, probably to make tea for everyone, she is indeed an all-round genius lady who is also accomplished in the tea ceremony.

"Hey, Ling, I've finished my homework."

Hayasaka Ai sat down bored, she didn't want to study anymore.

Fujiwara Chika also immediately pushed the exercise book in front of her away, "Let's play!"

"Play, what can we play?" Uchiha Ling looked at the pink-haired girl, Fujiwara Chika's head seemed to be filled with all kinds of games.

But before Fujiwara Chika could figure out what to play, the door was pushed open again, and Shinomiya Kaguya walked in with the freshly brewed tea.

Shinomiya Kaguya: "Then, let's continue studying."

"Hey! Kaguya~ No, I want to rest." Fujiwara Chika refused to study. She felt that the amount of study in these few hours today was almost catching up with the courses in school for several days!

Uchiha Ling patted Hayasaka Ai's shoulder, "Since you want to rest, let's go out first."

Hayasaka Ai seemed to have thought of something, and immediately pulled Fujiwara Chika out of the study.

"Let's go, Fujiwara classmate, let's go outside to get some fresh air first."

Fujiwara Chika seemed to have seen a savior, so the two girls ran out hand in hand.

In the empty study, Uchiha Ling and Shinomiya Kaguya were left.

"There are only two of us left."

Uchiha Ling nodded. "It's just the two of us, are we still going to have a study session?"

Shinomiya Kaguya snorted coldly, "Of course it's impossible, and I have something to ask you."

"Love, save my mother."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "???"

What is this person talking about, why can't she understand it at all.

"What I want to ask is....the true relationship between you and Brother Yunying!"

"Is that so..." Uchiha Ling's expression also became serious, and then he sat on the ground and looked at Shigong quietly.

"Well, actually I was sent by your brother to help you."

"Help me?"

Shigong Kaguya was even more confused. She felt that the people sent by Brother Yunying were more like people who were trying to contain her and control her, so how could they be here to help me.

"The three young masters of the Shigong family are now in a mess because of the issue of inheritance rights. You should know this."

Shigong Kaguya still had a cold expression, but she had already sat down and listened carefully to Uchiha Ling's story.

"As someone who has no inheritance rights, it is difficult for you to escape from this vortex, so Yunying found me and hoped that I could become his partner. Let him concentrate on seizing power, while you study at Shuchiin without any help."

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned, "How do you prove that you are telling the truth?"

"I don't need to prove it to you, you can verify it yourself with your eyes!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Ling smiled.

"Shinomiya-san, you are actually very lonely when you are mixed up in the whirlpool of the Shinomiya family, aren't you?"

"...Are you kidding me? I am..."

"Although you have two close friends, Chika Fujiwara and Ai Hayasaka, you have no other friends at school, and other students are alienating you, right?"

Shinomiya Kaguya fell into silence, but still shook her head and stared at Uchiha Ling.

"What is the purpose of Brother Yunying sending you here? In other words, what are you trying to gain by showing up!"

What a troublesome woman...

Uchiha Ling stared at Shinomiya Kaguya impatiently, "Then let me tell the truth, I came here just to gain your favor! (Also Hayasaka Ai, and Fujiwara Chika, um. ..and Nao Hayasaka)”

Shinomiya Kaguya's heart trembled.

From childhood to adulthood, among all the people who wanted to be friends with her and confess their feelings to her. All for the sake of the status and power of the Shinomiya family. Even the conversations between relatives are all about such emotionless things as family business.

From Shinomiya Kaguya's point of view, there may not be any good people in this world.

Any so-called kindness and love must be shown, and the other party must have some intention in his heart!

But the moment Uchiha Ling spoke, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at him with a kind of... [What the other person said is true! 】This feeling....

"Uchiha Ling, forgive me for not being able to answer what you said for the time being. But I will keep watching. Use my eyes to verify...your true purpose."
