Chapter 105

Class 1-B is right next to Class A.

Students who want to go to the small shop after class must pass by the door of Class A.

Jinwei Tong and her best friend, Qiu Tian Shana, are students of Class B.

The two walked together, preparing to go to the small shop to buy drinks.

When passing by Class A, they happened to hear a few girls discussing Natsume Chikage.

"Could Xia Mujun be sick? Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask for leave today?"

"I think so too."

Hearing these conversations, Jinwei Tong's pace couldn't help but slow down.

She looked at Natsume Chikage's seat through the window and found that it was indeed empty.

Even the school bag usually hanging beside the desk was gone; it seems that as they said, he really asked for leave.

"Eh? Xia Mujun is sick?" Qiu Tian Shana opened her eyes in surprise, "But when Senior Yue Dao Lin confessed to him yesterday, didn't he look fine?"

Jinwei Tong recalled the details observed in the past two days and shook her head gently:

"Perhaps... but it's more likely that he's just too lazy to go to school and asked for leave to play games at home."

Qiu Tian Shana was even more confused:

"Play games at home? Why do you say that?"

Jinwei Tong's thoughts drifted back to the past.

When she was a guest at Natsume Chikage's house, she often heard his relatives complain that he always used asking for leave as an excuse to play games at home, causing his academic performance to plummet, in stark contrast to his smart and hardworking sister.

At first, she didn't believe it, because every time she visited, Natsume Chikage sat quietly in the living room, and although he rarely participated in their conversations, he didn't stay in his room playing games or anything.

At that time, the one who often received her and other children was usually Natsume Chikage's sister, Natsume Ruri.

That little girl was not only cute but also particularly good at talking.

Compared to the silent Natsume Chikage at that time, Natsume Ruri was more like an heir cultivated by a wealthy family.

The fact was also like this.

Natsume Ruri had very good grades since she was a child, knew a little bit about various aspects, and spoke well.

Therefore, Jinwei Tong indeed preferred playing with his sister rather than Natsume Chikage.

Until one day, she asked for leave to visit her grandmother because she was sick.

On the way back, her parents felt that it was very close to the Natsume family, so they visited on the way.

That day, the Natsume family didn't hold a party; only her parents and the head of the Natsume family were talking in the living room.

The head of the Natsume family saw that she was bored, so he let her go find Natsume Chikage to play, saying that he also asked for leave at home today.

At that time, she felt strange: it was clearly a school day, why was his sister not there, but he was? Could it be that he was sick and asked for leave?

At this time, the young Jinwei Tong recalled the rumors about Natsume Chikage liking to ask for leave to play games at home.

With this question, she pushed open Natsume Chikage's bedroom door, only to find him staring intently at the screen playing games.

The room was piled with various game equipment and discs.

He was so addicted that he didn't notice her entering the room for a long time, still immersed in the game world.

He didn't look like a sick person at all.

From that moment on, she was convinced that Natsume Chikage was indeed addicted to games, and those relatives' words were indeed true.

He just liked to ask for leave to play games and didn't like to study!

The facts also confirmed this point.

Seeing him at school these days, he was either playing mobile games or sleeping on the desk; today he even asked for leave directly!

According to Natsume Chikage's personal situation, besides playing games at home, he didn't seem to be able to do anything else.

As for working part-time or something, it could have been arranged after school; there was no need to specifically ask for leave to work.

Combining various facts, Jinwei Tong really couldn't believe that he wasn't going home to play games.

Jinwei Tong sighed helplessly, only feeling that Natsume Ruri following such a brother would likely be very annoying.

"Na~ Wei Xi, how do you know he asked for leave to play games?" Qiu Tian Shana pursued the question.

"I heard his relatives say before that he often asked for leave to play games, and I have indeed seen him asking for leave to play games at home with my own eyes," Jinwei Tong explained lightly.

Qiu Tian Shana suddenly realized, her face happy: "So that's how it is?!"

What a coincidence—she likes playing games!! ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
