Chapter 143 I believe there are many people who like Cao Cao as much as I do!
Uchiha Ryo sighed. "Shirogane, we have no outsiders here. Imagine your friend is yourself."
Miyuki Shirogane: "..."
In short, he felt isolated at Shuchiin recently. Apart from his friends who were on good terms with him, hardly anyone greeted him.
Why...? Shirogane Miyuki couldn't understand. He thought that while he might not be as good-looking as Uchiha Ryo, he was certainly no less so. Why was Uchiha Ryo so popular, while he didn't even get a few greetings?
Uchiha Ryo turned to look at Shirogane Miyuki's sharp eyes.
As is widely known, the reason for Shirogane Miyuki's fierce gaze is mainly due to insufficient sleep.
Since he started preparing for the student council election, Shirogane Miyuki has barely managed to get four hours of sleep a day.
The intense daily studies and student council pressures turned Shirogane Miyuki into a severe caffeine addict, and the intimidating aura emanating from his fierce-looking eyes deterred many people from even trying to greet him.
However, this does not mean that Shirogane Miyuki is unpopular at school; it just means that not many people dare to approach him.
Uchiha Ryo: "So you just want your classmates to greet you normally?"
Shirogane Miyuki nodded. "Hmm, how did you all manage that?"
Yu Ishigami: "Heh, not many people greet me either, Shirogane-senpai, I understand. What's worse is that there are even classmates in my class who don't recognize me after half a year of classes, and of course, I don't recognize them either."
Really? So there are others in the same boat! No, Ishigami Yu seems to be in even worse shape. Shirogane Miyuki felt his pain lessen a bit!
"So that's how it is. I'm not alone," Shirogane Miyuki smiled genuinely and shook hands tightly with Ishigami Yu's outstretched hand.
Mr. Lu, who came from the great East, once said that if you find your brothers are suffering even more when you are suffering yourself, you will be much happier.
Upon reflection, compared to Ishigami Yu's semi-invisible status in class and school, I am perhaps still lucky.
Uchiha Ryo then turned to Natsume. "Natsume, people usually come to say hello to you, right?"
Natsume nodded. "Yeah, I usually greet my classmates and other classmates from other classes when we meet."
Shirogane Miyuki saw Natsume's gentle, sun-like smile, and the impact was enormous. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed that Natsume could easily push Ishigami Yu's social skills to the limit with just a slight move.
Uchiha Ryo said with some annoyance, "It's actually quite frustrating that my classmate keeps greeting me, especially since I don't even know who he is, yet I still approach him. (Mainly, I have no goodwill to cultivate, so what use are you to me?)"
Shirogane Miyuki received a devastating blow; the kind of trouble that comes from being in a superior position is something ordinary people can never understand.
"Uchiha, you must have received a lot of confessions from girls since you were a child, right? How many, roughly?!"
Uchiha Ling frowned and thought for a moment. The appearance of the Uchiha clan did bring him many advantages. Just how many?
Uchiha Ryo: "Do you even remember how many loaves of bread you've ever eaten?"
Miyuki Shirogane: "Please stop talking!!!"
At this moment, Yu Ishigami suddenly took over the conversation.
"Have you ever heard of 'male strength', Shirogane-senpai? Just like how girls with high 'feminine strength' are more popular, I guess improving 'male strength' could work too."
Boost male virility?
Uchiha Ryo: "In general, it's about caring about others, being able to notice changes in those around you, and always maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor."
As he spoke, Uchiha Ryo looked at Natsume beside him.
I have to say, Natsume's masculinity is amazing! It seems gentle, kind guys are quite popular here. But that's not always the case; some girls prefer a more assertive type.
Uchiha Ryo: "Shirogane, your next direction should be either to become gentler or to become more assertive. But I feel you're more suited to the latter, since you still have to run for student council president."
Shirogane Yukiyuki frowned in deep thought.
Is that so? That seems to make sense. Is it because I talk too much at home that Kei dislikes me? Should I try to be more assertive? After all, the student council president of Shuchiin High School isn't a nagging and weak person!
Uchiha Ryo stood up. "You'll be the student council president next month, right? General MacArthur once said—'Those who rise to power must be lions, for a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep.'"
"And the lion will always be an object of admiration for others!"
After saying that, Uchiha Ryo turned to look at Natsume.
"I need to go to the club area, do you want to come along?"
Natsume also stood up. "No, I'll go back to the rest area in Toyonosaki. See you this afternoon."
Only Shirogane Miyuki and Ishigami Yu remained on the lawn. Just as Ishigami Yu was about to pull out his phone to make a move, Shirogane Miyuki suddenly looked up.
"Looks like I have to work hard to become the student council president! And try to get re-elected. Ishigami, how about joining the student council then? You're very good at calculations, I can make you the student council treasurer."
.....
In the Classical Literature Club, Uchiha Ryo, who hadn't been back for a long time, was surprised to hear the girls actually discussing classical literature. It turned out that this club was actually useful; he had thought it was just a gathering place for pretty girls.
Uchiha Ryo: "What are you talking about?"
Yukinoshita raised her hand, and in her hand was Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four great classical novels of the East.
"We were talking about Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and we were just discussing which character we liked."
Uchiha Ryo said "Oh," and then pulled over a chair and sat down.
"If you just like classic literature, you can read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but if you want to understand this complex history, I suggest you read Records of the Three Kingdoms. After all, one is a novel that has been artistically adapted, and the other is historical material."
At this moment, Fujiwara Chika suddenly spoke.
"Does Uchiha-kun have any favorite characters from the Three Kingdoms period? I think Zhao Yun is so cool! He charged in and out of Cao Cao's army seven times at Changban Slope, he was really amazing!"
(A Dou: What's so special about that? I did it too!)
Uchiha Ryo thought for a moment, "My favorite characters from the Three Kingdoms period... let me think... Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang..."
Uchiha Ryo suddenly stopped because he noticed that the way the group of women around him were looking at him seemed a little strange.
Uchiha Ryo: "Ahem! Cao Cao! Hmm, I admire Cao Cao! I believe there are many others who like Cao Cao as much as I do."
"Haha, let's not talk about that anymore. Are you guys participating in the competition this afternoon?"
The women nodded, seemingly indicating that they wanted to participate.
Uchiha Ryo thought for a moment, "Alright then, you all go participate. Someone can ask the teacher for leave for me while you're at it."
Hayasaka Ai: "Are you taking leave? Is Ling sick?"
Uchiha Ryo looked up at the sky. "No, I want to give up. I've already done so much for the school this morning, so it's not a big deal to ask for leave this afternoon."
Yukinoshita: "They paid too much, referring to the fact that he lay down for more than an hour in the second half and still ate half a wild rabbit."
Uchiha Ryo shook his finger. "You all need to understand, although I am now a member of Toyonosaki, I am actually a student of Shuchiin! In order for Shuchiin to win this afternoon, I have no choice but to leave without a fight! I'm doing this all for your sake."
Fujiwara Chika scratched her head. Why did she feel that what Uchiha Ryo said made some sense?
Chitanda Eru: "Hmm, so Uchiha Ryo just wanted to slack off, right?"
Amakusa Shino: "Hey, hey, you can only last one round?"
Uchiha Ryo raised an eyebrow. "What a joke! I could fight my way in and out seven times! Fighting for a whole day and night! I just couldn't be bothered to participate in the afternoon's match."
