Chapter 67 Mother'S Indulgence
"Please submit the team assignment before this weekend, and the type of work is unlimited," said the teacher in a uniform, despite the students' complaints. "Each team should consist of at least one person and at most four. Please feel free to form teams based on the actual situation. I look forward to everyone's work."
After briefly explaining the assignment rules, the teacher gave the students a bright smile, made a cheering gesture, picked up the lesson plan, and hurriedly left the classroom wearing high heels.
As soon as she left, the classroom became lively, with complaints followed by students searching for teammates.
This is the first team assignment, which not only directly affects the credits but will also be presented in front of all the students. Those who can get into University of Tokyo are all the top students. They are eager to shine in this opportunity.
"We've only been in school for a few months, why do we have practical assignments so soon?" Shikato Ichiro immediately began to complain, turning to look at the relaxed Li Xia and cautiously asked, "Xia, you've been absent a lot lately. Do you need me to introduce you to some familiar classmates?"
He was very afraid of Li Xia, the guy who could bring a gun to school, definitely not an ordinary person. After observing for a few days, he found Li Xia to be very friendly, and it would be good to be friends, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation today.
"Um, familiar classmate?" Li Xia was taken aback, he was also unsure about the practical assignment suddenly assigned by this married teacher, but after a series of life-threatening events recently, his mindset had improved a lot.
Compared to that, he certainly wouldn't complain about such a thing as an assignment. He felt that getting a passing grade would definitely not be a problem.
Even in college, students in the class would form small groups. Because his mind was on the recent sudden events, he did not enter any small circles.
"It seems you haven't paid attention to these at all." Shikato Ichiro was relieved to see that Li Xia could communicate, and pointed to the front row of the classroom, a girl with glasses, saying:
"This time, the first place should undoubtedly be hers, Katsura Manami, our class president. If you want to get a good grade, you can try teaming up with her."
Li Xia looked in the direction of his pointing finger. Katsura Manami had long black hair, wore frameless glasses, a T-shirt with jeans, had a serious expression, clearly the type who was meticulous in her work.
The class president in college didn't have much presence, so Li Xia just thought she looked familiar, but didn't actually know her.
Katsura Manami also looked over at this moment, their gazes meeting in the air, but they quickly looked away after just a glance.
"Now, all that's left is Kiyoura Mai," Shikato Ichiro pointed to a girl in the corner who was enthusiastically chatting with her classmates, smiling brightly. "She's quite the social butterfly, she should be able to find a good teammate. If you join her team, you should be able to achieve good results."
Li Xia looked over, Kiyoura Mai had long golden hair and a smile that made people feel close to her, completely different from the serious Katsura Manami.
"Of course, you can also join my team," Shikato Ichiro patted his chest, looking proud. "Actually, I..."
"No need, thanks," Li Xia waved his hand. Shikato Ichiro's circle of friends consisted of a bunch of muscular guys, and Li Xia felt it would be strange to hang out with them.
Shikato Ichiro shrugged and didn't say much. His goal was to strike up a conversation with Li Xia, and he had successfully completed his mission.
Next is the film appreciation class, and Li Xia feels very satisfied to be able to study like a normal college student.
However, he was stopped by Kiyoura Mai after class.
"Hello, Li Xia, my name is Kiyoura Mai~" Kiyoura Mai had blonde hair tied into small braids at the end, dressed fashionably, and exuded enthusiasm. She introduced herself in a familiar manner.
"Hello." Li Xia also greeted with a smile and curiously asked, "Is there something you need?"
Girls like Kiyoura Mai easily attract attention wherever she goes, but they had never spoken to each other before today, and Li Xia only learned her name today.
"I'm here to invite Li Xia to be the protagonist in our short film." Kiyoura Mai blinked at him and explained enthusiastically, "Our topic is a high school love story. Since we all just graduated from high school, although this topic is a bit cliché, it is likable and easy to get a high score."
After saying that, she smiled, looked up at Li Xia, and continued to explain, "Li Xia's appearance is very suitable for the male lead. The more handsome the protagonist is, the easier it is to resonate with people."
Kiyoura Mai, as a social butterfly, not only invited him but also revealed the topic without reservation. In just a few words, she expressed her sincerity and subtly praised his appearance, making it easy for people to have a good impression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't attend high school in Tokyo, so I can't play the male lead." Li Xia smiled apologetically. He was just a slacker, it was impossible for him to play the lead role. At most, he could do some post-production work and barely pass.
It was clear that Kiyoura Mai planned to shine in this selection. To shoot a good short film, she would definitely have to reshoot it over and over again. But now, there were dangerous people around him. Whether it was for his own sake or the other person's, he couldn't easily agree.
"What a pity~" Kiyoura Mai saw his refusal and didn't insist. She first showed a face of regret, then gave him a thumbs up. "Well, Li Xia, let's work hard together and strive for good grades."
"Okay." Li Xia nodded. He always had a good impression of enthusiastic and positive girls.
After being rejected by Li Xia, Kiyoura Mai went back to her own small team. The two girls next to her immediately asked, "Mai, did Li Xia agree?"
"He refused." Kiyoura Mai shrugged. "Very straightforward. It seems like he has a plan."
"Ah, what a pity." The two girls looked regretful. They glanced at the front row at Katsura Manami and whispered, "Could he be planning to join the class president's team? That would be troublesome. If Li Xia participates, just relying on his looks, he can score points. It's hard to find a more handsome guy in our class."
"That's just how it is." Kiyoura Mai smirked mischievously. "If all else fails, let's take some pictures together, it wouldn't be too bad~"
"Not a good idea~" the two girls also smirked, instantly diluting the disappointment of being rejected by Li Xia.
However, they were unaware that everything happening in this classroom was being live-streamed by the surveillance camera in the corner.
"Li Xia rejected the invitation from Kiyoura Mai," Komachi Akane held a stack of documents and spoke while looking at the monitor.
"Hmm," Kirigiri Shimizu closed her eyes, sitting on the office chair, she responded without saying anything else.
"..." Komachi Akane glanced at the captain, her face slightly flushed. They were high-ranking members of the Special Affairs Bureau, yet they ended up monitoring assignments given by a university professor. Could this be the result of overprotective mother?
