first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing so many love letters, Tsukishima Rin felt helpless; she had still underestimated Natsume Chikage’s popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were at least twenty of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tsukishima Rin had just said before that she didn't mind Natsume Chikage getting to know other girls during this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that things had come to this, it wouldn't be good for her to show that she minded or was jealous...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin squatted down, her slender fingers gently picking up the love letters scattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed the organized envelopes to him, her voice still gentle:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Xia Xia Mujun, here you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(＃￣～￣＃) Stare——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gaze, filled with resentment and jealousy, was far too obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Natsume Chikage wanted to ignore it, it would be difficult, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only silently take the love letters and put them in his school bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Natsume Chikage put all these love letters back into his school bag, Tsukishima Rin finally couldn't hold back and asked softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So... how do you plan to handle these love letters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you planning to respond to their confessions like yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, there are too many today, and I don’t have the time to respond to them one by one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Japan, not responding to someone’s love letter is indeed seen as somewhat impolite behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, some people will respond seriously after receiving a love letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage had been like that before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that things had come to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to do that anymore—let it be impolite if it’s impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better than constantly responding to confessions and wasting his own time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to know that there are over twenty letters here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the rejections, he was afraid he wouldn't have any time to rest or look for a club today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage thought that after the news of him ignoring girls’ love letters spread, he imagined that no one would send him love letters or confess to him again in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s do it this way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that Natsume Chikage did not intend to respond to any confessions, a brilliant smile that could not be hidden instantly bloomed on Tsukishima Rin’s face, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage really didn't lie to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said he didn't want to date, so he really didn't want to date!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when facing so many love letters, he remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he doesn't have a girlfriend for a day, she will always have a chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage looked at the shoe locker and pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took a notebook out of his school bag, wrote something on it with a pen, carefully folded it into an L-shape, and placed it gently at the very back of the shoe locker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin leaned in curiously to take a look, and the joy on her face became even more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw a note stuck to the inside of the shoe locker, on which was clearly written:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I have no intention of dating, nor can I respond, so please do not put any more love letters here」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin’s mood became pleasant to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seems that her own chance seems to be the greatest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was the one who had confessed to Natsume Chikage in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even knew the reason for his rejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those girls who didn't even have the chance to be rejected, her odds of winning must be higher, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage looked at the note in the shoe locker, thinking that no girls should put love letters there again later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had clearly stated that he would not respond, they should know that there is no point in putting them there anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shouldn't appear again after this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage changed his shoes and prepared to return to the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Tsukishima Rin also reacted, quickly changed her shoes, and followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two did not talk much more, just walking side by side silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage’s classroom was on the third floor, while Tsukishima Rin’s classroom was on the fifth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the school had elevators, they were for faculty and staff only; students could only take the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsukishima Rin smiled and waved goodbye:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Xia Xia Mujun, I’ll head back to class first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage nodded in response:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Class 1-A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage returned to the classroom and walked straight to his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase, who was originally reading \"World Curiosities,\" noticed him returning, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a look of joy appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to step forward to greet him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other girls in the class had already swarmed over, asking in a jumble of voices:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Xia Xia Mujun, where did you go when you asked for leave yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that you were sick?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard from others that you seem to have cancer or leukemia or something...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I heard that too... are you alright? Can it be cured?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Is it very serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Is this true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase, who was to the side, heard this, her eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, her face full of shock and worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn't help her curiosity, poking her little head out from the gaps in the crowd, looking straight at Natsume Chikage without concealment, waiting for his answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujiwara Aoi didn't react much on the surface, still resting her chin on one hand and reading the literature book on her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that her reading speed seemed to be much slower than usual, and she hadn't turned the page for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage heard these outrageous rumors and was stunned on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got cancer, leukemia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come he didn't know about it himself?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls saw him stunned in place and thought the rumors were true, each showing a shocked expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Xia Xia Mujun, if you don’t deny it, doesn’t that mean...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wuwu~ even though you are still so young, Xia Xia Xia Mujun, why did God...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsume Chikage’s mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally just asked for a normal leave, never thinking that the rumors would spread so outrageously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he let it continue to develop, he was afraid that by tomorrow, rumors would spread that he wouldn't live until next week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly clarified:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only asked for leave yesterday because of personal reasons; I don’t have any illness, let alone cancer or leukemia. I am very healthy myself, so please stop listening to hearsay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I let you all keep saying this, I’m afraid I won’t even live until tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase heard this, blinked her lively eyes, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly, the worry in her heart instantly vanishing like smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-15T07:08:26.586Z","2026-06-15T07:45:38.736Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","67ab0eb100c09699b75ea2ce4269ea8a3bf2d8a8668733c003eb4b2b6ba208f3","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-70","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-68",624,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-cover.jpg"]
