"..."
Hayakawa did not respond or reach out to touch her, but simply let her hug him, because he knew that Ogata's body was definitely naked at the moment, so whatever he touched would probably just be skin, so he should not touch her inappropriately.
Even without touching her with my hands, just holding Ogata through her clothes felt wonderful; she was such a soft, petite bundle, like being wrapped up in a cuddly teddy bear.
"It's alright, Ri-chan, we're here."
Fumino Furuhashi gently comforted him, saying, "It's just a sudden power outage."
"Why did the power suddenly go out?!"
Two people appeared beside Rizu Ogata.
As if finding a pillar of support, he began to rant and rave indignation: "It's unbelievable! In modern society, there are still buildings that inexplicably lose power. This is an insult to the progress of electrical technology over the past century!"
"Because it suddenly started raining and thundering outside,"
Fumino Furuhashi said somewhat awkwardly, "It's possible that she broke the nearby power lines."
"thunder…"
When Ogata Rizu heard this word, her body trembled violently, and her voice suddenly became dry in the darkness.
Ogata's body trembled so violently that Hayakawa even thought she was about to slip and instinctively reached out to steady her.
"..."
Hayakawa pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted. The smooth surface, with traces of water, felt incredibly soft to the touch, as if there was no friction at all.
Where did I run into...?
"what…"
Rizu Ogata let out a soft scream, a mixture of surprise and embarrassment.
"Rika?"
Fumino Furuhashi asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing, let's go out quickly!"
Ogata Rizu quickly stood up, got off Hayakawa, urged him, and then whispered, "I...I was just taking a shower."
"No...it's nothing."
Fumino Furuhashi blushed slightly, then quickly tried to ease the awkwardness, saying, "It's okay, Ri-chan. Hayakawa-san turned off the flashlight as soon as she came in. Look how dark the room is, you can't see anything without the light. I don't even know where Ri-chan is right now, so don't worry..."
Before he finished speaking, the bathroom ceiling light suddenly turned on, illuminating the room instantly and revealing everything.
The girl stood right in front of Hayakawa, her fair skin so striking, especially... even when she tried to cover herself with her arms, it was impossible to see any difference...
Looking further down…
Hayakawa: "..."
"Aaaaaah!! Hayakawa-san, close your eyes! Don't look!"
"Pervert?! Mr. Pervert?! As expected of Hayakawa-san, he's a pervert after all!"
Hearing the unanimous criticism around him and feeling the faint warmth of the lamplight shining down from above, Hayakawa closed his eyes in anguish.
At that moment, he felt the cruel trick of fate.
……
Damn it, why would someone with such a pure and flawless spirit and character inexplicably encounter such bad luck?
I've tried my best, haven't I been polite enough? I've done the most decent thing a man can do, so what's with this light switching on and off?
Hayakawa sat in a chair in the living room, looking at the empty seats around him, his face gradually darkening.
Why?! Why is no one coming to learn?!
"Damn it..."
Hayakawa's face gradually contorted: I never imagined that my perfect study plan, which I had conceived for so long, would be thwarted in this way.
Ogata was too ashamed to see Hayakawa, so he went back to his room. Furuhashi suddenly said he didn't want to study anymore, so he also went back to his room, and the sound of him closing and locking the door was extremely loud.
Chapter 51 Ogata is afraid to sleep alone
Damn it, those two bitches actually treated me like that.
Hayakawa sat in the chair next to the desk, trying to concentrate on the questions, but he couldn't control his emotions and cursed under his breath.
Haven't I done enough? I've suffered so much trying to help them improve their grades, why are they all so disobedient? Why are they treating me like this?
Why doesn't anyone understand how I feel...?
Hayakawa's nose tingled slightly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed like a tangled ball of yarn, and she sat blankly in the chair, her body trembling slightly with anger, looking dejected and somewhat disheveled.
"call…"
Hayakawa took a deep breath and reached for the pen.
Never mind them, I'll just focus on learning my own things.
He said to himself, but before he could pick up his pen, the light above his head flickered twice and went out completely.
"..."
The room darkened, and Hayakawa's expression went blank for a moment, then his mood darkened along with the light.
He knew that the phone probably wouldn't come back on tonight, which meant he wouldn't be able to study.
"Go to sleep."
Hayakawa said softly, then stood up, tidied the table, turned the living room light on and off in the dark, checked the switches of other appliances in the house, and went back to his room to go to sleep.
Hayakawa walked into the room, climbed onto the bed, lay flat on it, covered himself with the blanket, and leaned against the headboard, staring blankly out the window.
He usually stays up late studying until 2 or 3 a.m. before going to sleep, but today he went to bed at just past 10 p.m., which made him have some insomnia and couldn't fall asleep.
The rain continued to fall, as if it would never stop. The thunder was equally incessant, accompanied by deafening booms. Every now and then, a flash of lightning would streak across the dark clouds, illuminating the room in alternating flashes of light.
"..."
Hayakawa stared blankly for a long time, then muttered, "So noisy."
With the rain so heavy, the thunder so loud, and the lightning flashing so often, how can Furuhashi and Ogata get a good night's sleep?
Guqiao should be able to see the lightning; the window in her room is relatively small and faces another building nearby, so she probably won't be able to see it, at most she'll hear thunder.
The window in Ogata's room is similar to the one in mine.
Hayakawa thought about the strange reaction Ogata had when he mentioned thunder outside in the bathroom, and his unease grew stronger.
Hayakawa had a vague feeling that the guy might be afraid of thunder.
If this rain keeps going on, won't she be unable to sleep soundly all night?
Hayakawa couldn't sit still any longer. He took his phone, turned on the flashlight, and got out of bed. He wanted to go check if Ogata was asleep.
Hayakawa left the room using the light from her phone and quickly arrived at Ogata's door. She wanted to knock but was afraid of disturbing the person inside, since Ogata was probably already asleep.
Excuse me.
Hayakawa thought to himself, then gently pushed open the door, entered the room, and looked towards the bed.
In the pitch-black room, a petite figure was curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped in a small ball of blankets, trembling slightly. Every time thunder rumbled, the trembling of the blankets would suddenly intensify.
With another deafening clap of thunder, the room was plunged into a blinding white light. In that brief moment of brightness, Hayakawa saw Ogata Riju's tear-streaked face.
In an instant, Hayakawa felt his heartbeat disappear.
"Ogata."
Hayakawa walked to the bedside, her voice hoarse, and said, "You..."
"Hayakawa-san..."
Riju Ogata raised her head, her pale face devoid of color, her empty eyes filled with fear and confusion, her eyes slightly red, like a pitiful squirrel huddled in a tree hole.
"Ogata, are you afraid of thunder?"
Hayakawa sat on the bed and turned to look at Ogata.
"..."
Ogata seemed not to have recovered yet, staring blankly at Hayakawa in front of him, as if he could not quite believe that someone would appear beside him at this moment.
"Fearful."
She lowered her head slightly and said in a soft voice, "I've been afraid since I was a child."
The next moment, just like when she saw Hayakawa in the bathroom before, she snuggled into Hayakawa's arms, rubbing her fluffy little head against her chest. A touch of color returned to her pale face, revealing a subtle look of relief.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa tensed up, his expression becoming extremely serious.
The overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from the large breasts made him afraid to make any rash moves, lest he accidentally retaliate in self-defense.
But her body is so cold, could she have caught a cold?
Hayakawa couldn't help but feel worried. There were only a few days left until the exam, and if he caught a cold, all of Ogata's efforts over the past few days would be for nothing.
If she gets sick tomorrow, give her medicine immediately.
As Hayakawa was thinking, Ogata suddenly whispered, "Hayakawa, I'm afraid of thunder."
"Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Hayakawa didn't interrupt his thoughts and subconsciously said.
"because…"
Ogata blushed slightly and turned his head away, saying, "I feel embarrassed."
Hayakawa paused for a moment, then said, "...Okay, fine."
Ogata always gets stubborn in inexplicable ways, and Hayakawa knows that, and it probably still is now.
At that moment, another clap of thunder sounded, and Ogata trembled violently. Hayakawa, who was already close to him, pressed her petite body even closer, as if she wanted to crawl right into him.
Hayakawa's face immediately turned ashen, and his lips twitched.
The Titanic was too powerful; the icebergs couldn't withstand the impact.
"Hayakawa, I'm sleepy."
Ogata's voice came out in a muffled tone.
"Then go to sleep."
Hayakawa looked out the window, wondering how he could make the thunder that was coming in quieter in the future.
Oh, the room by the old bridge is relatively safe from thunder, and the noise is much quieter. You can just switch beds when it rains.
Let's discuss it with Guqiao tomorrow.
"I... am afraid of thunder."
Ogata suddenly said, his voice so low it was as if he were talking to himself, "I'm afraid to sleep alone."
Hayakawa: "..."
"Then I'll go and ask Guqiao to sleep with you."
Hayakawa tried to stand up to call Furuhashi, but found that Ogata was holding her tightly and she couldn't break free.
"Fumino is probably asleep by now, I can't disturb her for my sake,"
Rizu Ogata looked up from in front of Hayakawa, hesitated slightly upon hearing Hayakawa's suggestion, then shook her head. Her expression hardened, and she whispered, "Hayakwa, can you stay...?"
Hayakawa: "..."
Definitely not.
"I'm not suitable."
Hayakawa shook his head expressionlessly and refused, saying, "Let's call it Furuhashi instead."
"you you you…"
