Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

These words touched Hayakawa's noble soul, causing him to turn his head slightly in response.

"Please look at this."

When Natsukawa Masaki saw him turn around, she handed him her phone.

Hayakawa took her pure white phone with a light pink case and looked at the screen.

The video shows a mother desperately shielding her child from a car as the child is about to be hit. The caption reads, "Touching. A mother unleashes her potential to save her child; love makes her capable of anything."

"..."

Hayakawa frowned and remained silent.

Explosion...potential...

"That's right, human potential is limitless, but it's difficult to fully unleash it, which is why we need love,"

Natsukawa Masaki's exquisite face remained calm as she gently opened her arms, like a holy angel redeeming the world: "The power of love can conquer all. For the sake of what one loves, one can change one's personality, one's life... It can change one's destiny, it can make the resolute despondent, and it can make the cowardly face death without fear, it can make the impossible possible..."

She said, "Love can help you overcome everything."

Conquer everything!

"..."

Hayakawa's body trembled, and his pupils contracted sharply.

At that moment, a thunderbolt struck his mind, and in a daze, it was as if the door to a new world had been opened.

爱…

……

During lunch break in the library, Hayakawa, without even eating, found a corner and opened his textbook. His gaze was not focused on the words; instead, his eyes were empty and his expression was blank.

For an entire morning, his mind kept repeating what Natsukawa Masaki had said to him. The voice was deafening, making it impossible for him to concentrate on studying.

He had always been very confused. Despite his hard work, his grades had not improved at all. Not to mention defeating Ogata Riju and Furuhashi Fumino, even a small fry like Natsukawa could easily crush him. How could Hayakawa not feel despair and pain as he clutched his wrists?

Hatred, pain, and humiliation loomed over his heart like a shadow, trapping him and driving him to work even harder as if he were going crazy, plunging him into a vicious cycle.

However, the instant he heard Xia Chuanzhen's words that morning, his indestructible, unchanging, and unyielding Dao heart, as solid as a stone slab, cracked slightly, and everything outside rushed in.

A ray of light shone into a heart that had been devoid of light.

That was... holy light!

"what…"

Hayakawa closed his eyes to welcome the holy light that purified all the gloom. The viciousness, hatred, and malice that had been hidden in his heart screamed like a monster being burned by flames, and turned to ashes in an instant.

Is this the power of love? I felt it!

Hayakawa suddenly realized that he had gone down the wrong path and had entered a dead end.

He had completely mastered the power of hatred, but he was completely unaware of love. No wonder he had been stuck in the same place all this time!

No, I must change. If I remain complacent and self-imposed limitations, I will inevitably fall behind, and falling behind means I will be vulnerable to attack!

"I want it all!"

Hayakawa's eyes sharpened, and he clenched his fists in front of him.

Yes, I also want to gain the power of love. I want to use my own power of love, my own kindness and goodwill to defeat those two people and trample them under my feet.

But how can I obtain it...?

"hiss…"

Hayakawa frowned, his hands covering his eyes as he fell into deep thought.

This is a real problem. After all, Hayakawa has always harbored deep malice towards those around him, and has always looked at others with a sinister, venomous gaze. After all, as a Go player, one must observe the pieces from this ruthless perspective in order to better control them.

It would be quite difficult to teach Hayakawa, who is like this, to be kind and compassionate. Hayakawa herself doesn't know how to "love" others.

According to Natsukawa Masuzu, she needs to unleash her potential through "love," just like the mother who stopped a car to give her child a boost. She needs someone from whom she can give her all and unleash her full potential.

Hayakawa: "..."

The person you give your all to...

Aren't those Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata?

"Hmm? Huh?"

Hayakawa was confused, her mind went blank, and her hands were even a little uncoordinated: "So I need to go and love Furuhashi and Ogata?"

Isn't something wrong? Shouldn't those two be the people I hate the most? How come they've become the people I want to love?

Why should I fall in love with my enemy?

Hayakawa: "..."

Something's definitely wrong...

"Uh…"

Hayakawa covered his head, his expression conflicted and hesitant.

I definitely can't love Furuhashi and Ogata. I worked so hard to defeat them, not because I actually have feelings for them. If I wanted to love someone, I would at least have to have feelings for them first. Hayakawa doesn't think he has any feelings for Furuhashi and Ogata.

Moreover, I've always worked so hard because of my hatred for them, so a sudden 180-degree turn is definitely not going to work.

Is there anything else...? Are there any other people worth loving?

Hayakawa looked around listlessly, but his gaze inadvertently fell on what was in front of him, and his expression froze.

That was none other than his own literary work.

"what…"

Hayakawa sat there stunned, as if struck by lightning, but his mind suddenly cleared, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky.

I see…

The person you deserve to love may be far away, but they are right before your eyes.

boom!

The heavens and earth trembled, and the three thousand worlds were destroyed with a deafening roar.

Amidst the deafening roar of the world's destruction, Hayakawa heard the delicate voice emanating from the literature textbook before him, filled with sorrow and resentment, like a pitiful woman heartbroken by a faithless lover.

"Can you finally look at me properly?"

Chapter 139 This is simply...

"I…"

Hayakawa's eyes were slightly red and tearful as he gazed affectionately at the girl depicted in his literature textbook. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her skin like peach blossoms in full bloom, her hair like floating clouds, and her eyes like stars. Beneath her blue hair, she wore a white headband that accentuated her hair...

Ok?

Blue hair? White headband?

Hayakawa: "..."

Something seems off again...

Hayakawa was confused again. Although the girl's face was blurry, she looked so much like...

"Can you finally look at me properly?"

Seeing that Hayakawa remained silent, the girl's tone became mournful, sorrowful, and resentful, and she turned away to wipe her tears.

"Ah...ah!"

Hayakawa's eyes instantly shifted from blankness to tenderness and affection, and he softly said, "I'm sorry."

He has always studied very hard, and he always carries his textbooks with him wherever he goes. He goes to school, comes home from school, eats, and even sleeps in bed with his textbooks. You could say that he would never leave without his Chinese textbook, even if he went out without clothes.

But...does he really like literature?

I'm afraid not. As Hayakawa himself said, "Hate and pain blinded me, making it impossible for me to see the road ahead." He was trapped by humiliation, his mind filled with how to improve his grades and how to defeat Furuhashi and Ogata to regain the throne. Where was there a trace of genuine love for literature?

Hayakawa's favorite thing has always been the thrill of defeating others; learning is just a tool he uses to trample others underfoot.

But... he was wrong.

"You are not just a tool I use to defeat them,"

Hayakawa's eyes filled with tears of guilt as he gently stroked the girl's fair cheek and said with utmost seriousness, "You are the person I truly love."

The girl covering her mouth with both hands instantly, her face, streaked with tears, was filled with surprise and happiness.

At that moment, Hayakawa had a sudden realization.

It turns out that the person I was in the past didn't not want to be in a relationship, but rather I couldn't find... I couldn't find the woman who was truly worthy of my love!

And now, I've found it!

"Xiaowen, I love you,"

Hayakawa named his lover, then gently reached out his hand to the girl in front of him, who was holding a literature textbook. His eyes were full of deep affection, and he said softly, like a devoted young man, "Please go out with me."

"Woo..."

Xiaowen shed tears of emotion and stretched out an imaginary hand: "I do."

Fumino Furuhashi, hiding behind the bookshelf next to her: "..."

What happened?

……

Let's rewind a few minutes and get a glimpse into Fumino Furuhashi's lunch break today.

"That's strange, why didn't Hayakawa-san come to lunch today?"

As Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata walked upstairs in the library, they looked at their phones with a puzzled expression: "And then they don't reply to messages."

"He's probably just buying himself a loaf of bread again,"

Ogata Rizu said, then lifted the plastic bag in her hand, a triumphant smile on her face: "I guessed it already, so I brought him food from the cafeteria. He'll eat it at the library later."

"Oh, is that so? Ri-chan is so thoughtful..."

Fumino Furuhashi's smile seemed a little forced; it seemed that Riko had been paying more and more attention to Hayakawa lately.

"Ah... I forgot my literature textbook,"

Ogata Rizu suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Furuhashi Fumino with some distress, "I'm sorry, Fumino, my literature textbook is in my desk drawer. I have to go back to the classroom to get it. Why don't you go to the library and find Hayakawa first?"

"Nari-chan, you go ahead."

Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback, then quickly said, "I can go by myself, no problem."

"Could you please bring my lunch to Hayakawa?"

Rizu Ogata nodded, then handed the plastic bag to Furuhashi and hurriedly ran away.

"..."

Fumino Furuhashi silently watched Riju Ogata's retreating figure, then glanced down at the extra bag in her hand, feeling a sudden pang of loneliness and guilt.

Riko is so innocent and kind, she has no ulterior motives.

If it were me, I would definitely choose to personally serve lunch to Hayakawa, so that Hayakawa would be happy because of me. But Riko thought that Hayakawa should eat something, so she naturally gave the food to herself.

Her kindness was natural and selfless.

Unlike myself, a woman with a deep mind...

Fumino Furuhashi turned and went upstairs to the library, arriving at the second floor where the three of them usually studied. As soon as she came up, she saw Hayakawa sitting in the corner, murmuring something to the air in front of her under the sunlight, her expression devout and moved.

What are you doing?

Fumino Furuhashi felt somewhat helpless. Having spent so much time with Hayakawa, she naturally knew him quite well, for example, someone who appeared very serious and earnest on the surface…
