The Story of Gojo Satoru's Youth 22

Title: Smile

The next morning, the sun broke through the thin clouds and fell on Shuchi’in Academy.

In Class 1-A, students began entering the classroom one by one, looking for their respective seats.

Megumi sat quietly in seat, her eyes slightly hollow, thinking about something, and her whole demeanor looked somewhat cute.

Although Eriri kept talking to the female classmates beside her, her eyes never left the classroom door.

Asuna stared at the lunchbox in her hands, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, revealing a faint smile.

Yukino was flipping through a book in her hands, seemingly lost in the world of words.

The classroom atmosphere gradually became lively. The students started getting to know each other, trying to integrate into the new group, and began forming their own small circles.

While everyone was happily chatting, a voice suddenly sounded at the classroom door.

“Good morning, everyone!”

Everyone looked around and saw Satoru standing there with a bright smile on his face, enthusiastically waving a greeting to everyone.

His bright smile immediately infected the entire class.

Hearing the sudden voice, the previously quiet classroom suddenly became noisy.

When they saw the person who had arrived was Satoru, no one was surprised.

After all, his surprising appearance yesterday had left a deep impression on everyone.

“Morning, Gojo-kun!”

The sharp response broke the brief silence.

Everyone looked around in amazement, wanting to see who was so brave to greet the maverick Satoru.

Asuna wanted to raise her hand to respond to Satoru, but when someone spoke first, she hesitated.

She looked around and saw other students looking around curiously.

Was there someone in the class who knew Satoru? She recalled the girl who was inseparable from Satoru yesterday.

‘It should be Satoru-kun’s deskmate... Named Kato? Oh, is my memory really that bad?’

At the same time, Megumi also directed her gaze at the person who responded to Satoru.

There was a bit of curiosity in her eyes, as if she was trying to remember who owned that voice.

She responded to Satoru, but due to her introverted and humble character, she only sat in her seat and answered softly in a normal volume.

It was unclear whether Satoru heard her response, but it seemed no one else noticed.

Yukino, who had been immersed in her own world, could no longer contain her curiosity and quietly began moving her eyes over there.

As for Eriri, the Golden Retriever girl, it goes without saying.

Yuigahama Yui, who was the focus of many people, felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t know whether to put her hand down or keep it raised.

At this moment, Yuigahama Yui, Miura Yumiko, and the others hadn’t yet gotten to know each other.

She had just transferred to this class yesterday and didn’t have any acquaintances.

And her academic performance wasn’t outstanding. As for why she ended up at Shuchi’in Academy, she originally attended Sobu High School, but the school was directly merged with Shuchi’in Academy.

Since then, she naturally became a student of Shuchi’in Academy.

After seeing Satoru’s “bravery” yesterday, Yuigahama couldn’t help but feel envious in her heart.

After all, people as “brave” as Satoru were very rare!

Yuigahama had always been a shy girl, always afraid of doing something wrong or saying something wrong, so she was very envious of those who could express themselves freely and fearlessly.

Later, she heard from others in the class that Satoru was not only brave but also very kind, which made her admire him even more.

So, when Satoru entered the classroom and greeted everyone, by a strange coincidence, Yuigahama also responded.

However, as soon as she said those words, she immediately regretted it. At this moment, almost all the eyes in the class were on her!

At this moment, Yuigahama almost wanted to cry, and her heart felt chaotic.

‘Uh-huh, what should I do now? Why couldn’t I stop myself from greeting Gojo-kun? Now everyone is looking at me, what should I do...’

At the same time, Satoru standing at the classroom door and having just greeted, was also very surprised. He didn’t expect anyone to respond.

So, he turned his attention to Yuigahama, who was being watched by everyone, and slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.

Well, this girl seems quite interesting.

“Oh! Good morning, Yui-chan~”

“Eh? Gojo-kun really knows me?”

“When you introduced yourself yesterday, didn’t you say it yourself, Yui-chan~”

Satoru tilted his head, with a confused expression on his face.

“But... But, Gojo-kun called me...Yu-Yui-chan...”

Yuigahama’s face immediately turned red, and she also stuttered a little while speaking.

“Huh? What’s the problem?”

Satoru still looked innocent and continued to ask while tilting his head.

“No... No problem...”

Facing Satoru’s simplicity, Yuigahama was really embarrassed to reveal her true thoughts.

Seeing that Yuigahama didn’t express any objections, Satoru turned and walked towards his seat.

As he passed by Yuigahama, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly without him realizing it.

However, all this was noticed by the other students in the class.

It was only the second day after they met, and he just called her Yui-chan...

No, besides introducing themselves, they hadn’t even talked at all. It seemed like they didn’t know each other...

And considering Yuigahama’s earlier insecure expression, everyone’s mouths twitched.

Yumiko and Ebina looked at each other and then walked towards Yuigahama...

Satoru went to his seat.

“Good morning, Megumi-chan~”

“Morning, Gojo-kun.”

“You’re so cold, Megumi-chan.”

“My tone is always like this. Gojo-kun is overthinking it.”

“Ah, Megumi-chan, you’re so harsh. You don’t even want to call me Satoru-kun.”

Seeing Satoru wipe his eyes in front of her, Megumi sighed slightly.

“Gojo-kun is really...”

“It’s my fault.”

Seeing Megumi sigh, Satoru stopped pretending and apologized sincerely.

“Hm, why are you apologizing, Gojo-kun?”

“Eh? No way, Megumi-chan, are you really mad?”

“I don’t know what Gojo-kun is talking about.”

“Well, then do you want to have lunch together at noon, Megumi-chan?”

“I don’t mind.”

“Then it’s settled!”

**Ding ding ding**

“It’s time for class, Gojo-kun.”

“Hey, then I won’t disturb Megumi-chan’s serious studies.”

After saying this, Satoru turned around and stopped bothering Megumi.

After Satoru turned around, Megumi showed a slight smile on her face.

In fact, after arriving in class in the morning, Megumi felt a bit worried, fearing Satoru would be like the others before him, and even if he remembered her, it would only be for a short while.

In the blink of an eye, he might completely forget her the next day.

Only after Satoru greeted her did her anxious heart slowly stabilize.

‘I was clearly used to being forgotten, so why was I afraid Gojo-kun would forget me? But it’s good he didn’t forget me.’

Megumi murmured to herself.

That’s why she smiled.

Even though she only smiled after Satoru turned around, the Six Eyes had a strong 360° observation capability without any blind spots.

Therefore, Megumi’s small movement was naturally noticed by Satoru.

Seeing the faint smile on Megumi’s face, Satoru also smiled.
