Upon seeing this friendship task, Hoshino Jun's brows instantly furrowed, his mind filled with question marks.

What?

In-depth study?

How exactly would one 'study'?

As if to answer Hoshino Jun's question, another message popped up in front of him the next moment.

Look, this is an A-rank mission. This should be the intensity you like, right?

Hoshino Jun took a deep breath. This intensity was indeed sufficient, even a bit excessive.

With only five days left, and the other party being an assertive superior, trying to conquer her in such a short time felt like a fool's dream.

Isn't this the intensity you wanted?

The intensity is here.

Heh heh!

Very good.

So what if the other party is a superior? The unyielding Hoshino Jun loves to challenge those above him.

"Good afternoon, Chairwoman, Vice Chairman!"

Hamasaki Mayu bowed respectfully to the two other women in the office, her legs together, displaying a humble posture.

She was afraid of angering the two 'great Buddhas' and losing her job.

After silently counting to more than five seconds in her mind, Hamasaki Mayu finally looked up and introduced:

"This male student behind me is the student I recommended to clean. He is very diligent."

Yamada Ran glanced indifferently, then her gaze lingered on Hoshino Jun's face for a few seconds, seemingly surprised by his exceptionally handsome appearance.

But it was only for a few seconds. She then turned her head back to continue watering the flowers.

"Heh heh, I'm sorry, Miss Hamasaki."

It was the slender woman who spoke first. Judging by Hamasaki Mayu's address to her, she seemed to be the Vice Chairman of the school.

Only half a rank lower than Yamada Ran.

The woman's physical condition seemed truly poor; she coughed after speaking a single sentence: "Cough cough, the person for cleaning was already recommended by the principal this morning."

'Damn it, this task was clearly assigned to me.'

'Why would they use the principal's person?'

Hamasaki Mayu pursed her lips, ultimately not daring to voice her question, and simply gave up.

"Sorry to bother you. In that case, we'll take our leave now."

Bowing again, Hamasaki Mayu turned to look at the boy who was deep in thought and softly said, "Hoshino, let's go. Don't disturb the Chairwomen's rest."

"Alright."

Hearing Teacher Hamasaki's words, Hoshino Jun nodded. Although he was a bit disappointed not to be chosen, there was no need to be upset.

Life always has its ups and downs; it's normal for things not to meet expectations.

Hoshino Jun had a good mindset.

There were still five days. As long as Yamada Ran came to school every day, there would always be a chance to create an accidental encounter.

Seeing the boy's calm expression, Hamasaki Mayu lowered her head, feeling a bit ashamed. She had confidently told him all the rules and regulations before coming.

Yet, this was the result.

'Hoshino Jun must be very disappointed in me as a teacher.'

'After work today, I'll help him find an easier part-time job.'

Just as the teacher and student, each with their own thoughts, were about to leave, Yamada Ran, who was watering flowers, suddenly put down the watering can and looked past Hamasaki Mayu towards Hoshino Jun.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Yamada Ran spoke, her gaze deep and sharp.

"What is your full name?"

Turning his head slightly bewildered, Hoshino Jun looked at the elegant and cold Yamada Ran, then pointed to himself.

"Are you talking about me?"

Facing her, Hoshino Jun always felt a bit cold, as if a large refrigerator was constantly open, releasing cold air.

Yamada Ran's slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her willow-like brows furrowed, and her hands were clasped in front of her ample chest.

Wearing white stiletto heels, she walked to a luxurious single-seater sofa and slowly sat down, then crossed her straight legs.

Her round and cute toes swung playfully like a joyful swing as her legs gently swayed, full of life.

"If I'm not talking about you, could I be asking someone else's name?"

Yamada Ran squinted at Hoshino Jun, expressionless.

"Apologies, that was my mistake."

"My name is Hoshino Jun."

Hoshino Jun gazed at the perfect curves of her body outlined by the white dress. Faintly, he could even see the indentation of Yamada Ran's navel on her abdomen.

What a tight dress. If there wasn't a cardigan over it, it would be incredibly alluring.

No, even with the cardigan, it was already incredibly alluring.

To avoid having an inappropriate reaction at this moment, Hoshino Jun quickly turned his head, focusing his gaze on the slender woman.

Although the slender woman was also beautiful, just like her appearance, her figure wasn't explosive. Through her large trench coat, one could vaguely see that it was flat underneath.

This alone was not enough to excite Hoshino Jun.

"Heh, so it really was you."

Yamada Ran pulled out a cigarette and a lighter from her pocket, then drew a cigarette from the pack and placed it on her bright red lips.

"Click!"

The flame ignited, and the tobacco quickly burned a small section.

"Phew~!"

Disregarding the sick person in the office, Yamada Ran exhaled a cloud of smoke, lazily swaying her lower leg.

"I heard you rejected Yamada Kaoru?"

The breeze rustled the white curtains, and ash fell into the glass ashtray.

The slender beauty's eyes lit up, curiously examining Hoshino Jun, while Hamasaki Mayu was somewhat worried for him.

She had initially thought that as a stepmother famously known for having a poor relationship with her stepdaughter, Yamada Ran wouldn't concern herself with Yamada Kaoru's affairs.

But she surprisingly did ask.

Hoshino Jun was a bit flustered. He was a hundred percent certain that he hadn't told anyone about rejecting Yamada Kaoru.

To protect the pride of a young girl.

But now, why did so many people know?

Who on earth spread this news?

It couldn't be that Yamada Kaoru herself said she was rejected by Hoshino Jun, could it?

Hoshino Jun did not lower his head under Yamada Ran's gaze, but calmly retorted, "Is there a problem with that?"

"No problem. I just wanted to tell you that you passed the interview. This office will be yours to clean from now on."

Yamada Ran smiled, and instantly, ice and snow melted into spring water, making the temperature in the room several degrees warmer.

"But…"

The slender woman wanted to say something, but was immediately cut off by Yamada Ran's sharp gaze.

"No 'buts'. This is my place, and I make the rules."
