Chapter 151 Determining the Effect
When the voice connection came through, Kurosawa Hikaru put the phone to his ear and said nothing.
"Hello?"
After a few seconds, Ninomiya Chizuru tentatively took the initiative to speak.
Her voice is very nice, cold and mature, and somewhat beautiful. She is a very nice young voice.
"Good evening, Miss Ninomiya."
Kurosawa Hikaru sat down on the bed and said hello with a smile.
"Good evening." Ninomiya Chizuru responded.
In fact, this was not the first time they had made a voice call. They had done so before when there was an emergency at school.
However, that time it was business, but this time it was different. There was no business, only private matters.
"Actually, the reason why I went shopping with Yuta Miyazaki to buy clothes is because he asked me for love tips this morning."
After saying hello, Kurosawa Hikaru didn't tease her, but asked.
"The secret to love?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little surprised when she heard this.
"Because he thinks Miss Runa is my girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend, and we got back together. He thinks I'm a love guru and wants to know how on earth I caught up with such a beautiful and rich woman."
Kurosawa Hikaru told the whole story. It was all the truth, without any lies.
"oh oh."
Knowing the reason, Ninomiya Chizuru nodded.
"oh oh?"
Kurosawa raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so calm.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Because of his repetition, Ninomiya Chizuru noticed that his reaction was not right and asked.
"Everyone thinks that Ms. Runa is my girlfriend, don't you mind?" Kurosawa Hikaru pointed out the problem.
"You are not really a couple, it's just that everyone saw Runa picking you up at the school gate and misunderstood." Ninomiya Chizuru paused and said.
"Do you really not mind at all if everyone thinks I'm with Miss Runa?"
Kurosawa Hikaru really didn't expect her to react like this and couldn't help but say.
To be honest, according to his opinion, Miss Ninomiya should be very concerned about this matter, but due to her reserved feelings, she never said anything.
He noticed this matter today and took the initiative to bring it up, just to get the other party's approval and clarify the matter.
After all, this matter is dispensable, so it won’t be troublesome to clarify it.
"I..." Ninomiya Chizuru choked, not knowing how to explain.
She felt that Kurosawa Hikaru's words had a bit of questioning meaning.
From that "oh oh" sentence just now, Kurosawa Hikaru's reaction was not quite right.
Regarding her speechlessness, Kurosawa Hikaru did not rush to ask questions, but waited patiently.
"Are you angry?" After a while, Ninomiya Chizuru asked.
Her tone was no longer calm as usual, but a little guilty, timid, and cautious.
"I'm not angry, I just thought you would mind it."
Kurosawa Hikaru was stunned for a moment when he heard this tone, and then said after coming back to his senses.
Just because he was angry about this matter, he was not that stingy, just a little unhappy.
The time before when Miss Runa was drunk and she was carried home by him, when Miss Ninomiya went down the stairs, she deliberately pretended to be drunk and unsteady and asked him to carry her.
Because of this incident, he has always felt that Miss Ninomiya Chizuru is a jealous person who gets jealous easily and has a competitive personality. Even her best friend will be jealous.
This is obviously the case, why aren't you jealous this time?
"..." Chizuru Ninomiya on the other end of the phone didn't know how to answer the call.
She could feel that even though Kurosawa Hikari wasn't angry, he was not very happy, like someone who couldn't get a response.
"I thought it was good to have this rumor, because everyone thinks that if you have a girlfriend, no one will pursue you and it will affect your studies."
After hesitating for a long time, Ninomiya Chizuru said after a lot of mental struggle.
"I see."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru had an epiphany, read the underlying meaning, and translated the sentence in his mind.
Because of this rumor, everyone thinks that if you have a girlfriend, no one will dare to pursue you.
Miss Ninomiya probably thought so, so she didn't mind at all and never mentioned it before.
After all, if he remains single, people will inevitably miss him... But everyone thinks that he has a girlfriend, and even if they are attracted to him, they will stay away from her.
If this situation continues, Miss Ninomiya can wait for him to graduate with peace of mind.
"I see."
Guessing her little thoughts through these words, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly smiled.
This is a very classic deterministic effect.
The so-called certainty effect means that when making a choice between certain benefits and "taking a gamble", most people will choose the certain benefits.
In his previous life, he saw a short video.
Suppose you are given two different buttons. One button allows you to get five million, and the other button gives you a 50% chance of getting ten million.
Faced with such a choice, most people will choose the first button.
When you are sure that you will get five million, you will not bet on the second button, because the income is enough and there is no need to take risks.
In short, for Miss Ninomiya, this rumor is beneficial and harmless to her.
First of all, she knew very well that this was a rumor, and she knew that her relationship with Miss Runa was not a relationship, and she could not really get together because of this rumor.
As long as he doesn't interfere in this matter and allows the rumors to exist, the advantage is that he will not be chased by other girls and the benefits will be extremely high.
On the contrary, if you interfere in this matter, such as clarifying rumors, it is tantamount to actively choosing risks and putting him in a situation where he may be pursued by other girls.
Ms. Ninomiya, who is proficient in finance and investment, obviously knows the certainty effect.
"Why are you laughing? Stop laughing."
Ninomiya Chizuru felt that he had guessed something, and she was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed by his laughter.
She had mustered up a lot of courage to say those words, but this guy still laughed at her.
"I was just thinking, you have such a nice voice."
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed that she was getting angry with embarrassment, and immediately became even happier.
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to sleep."
Ninomiya Chizuru was very embarrassed and didn't adapt to this situation, so she simply said a word and hung up the phone.
"Did you hang up?"
Kurosawa Hikaru took the phone away from his ear and took a look at it, and found that she had really hung up and kept her word.
Although she was angry, Kurosawa Hikaru knew that she was not angry and just ran away shyly.
"Good night."
Just like that, Kurosawa Hikaru sent her a message.
"Good night."
The message was read in seconds, and after about ten seconds, she replied.
After finishing this matter, Kurosawa Hikaru no longer sat, but suddenly relaxed his body and fell on the bed.
"Are you sure about the effect..."
He was holding the phone and looking at the ceiling, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself as he recalled what happened just now.
Recalling this deterministic effect that is very suitable for explaining investment psychology, he suddenly woke up and realized that he had found an idea.
Think about it carefully, isn't that why Sifengyuan chose him in the future?
Instead of marrying someone you don't know in the future, and having to turn a blind eye to others having fun and drinking, it's better to choose the person in front of you.
He's quite handsome, and he can shoot arrows. Plus, he's on a first-come, first-served basis. In every aspect, he's much better than the man he doesn't know but must marry in the future.
This is the certainty effect. Since there are known benefits, there is no need to gamble on unknown risks.
…
Tuesday's class is easier.
"I don't know if it's my imagination today. People are looking at me more often. Am I looking too weird?"
Before class, Miyazaki Yuta's expression was a little changeable. He lay on the table, looked left and right, and whispered.
"This is not an illusion. No one will think you are weird. Keep your eyes firm and don't look around. Be confident. Keep your head up and your chest high. Don't hunch your back."
Seeing his appearance, Kurosawa Hikaru also taught him a lesson.
"yes."
After hearing his teachings, Miyazaki Yuta nodded energetically, raised her head and held her chest high.
"It's not bad, just keep it like this."
Seeing that he straightened his posture and looked quite serious and somewhat handsome, Kurosawa nodded with satisfaction.
Helping others become better and better gives people a sense of accomplishment.
The one-day course passed by in the blink of an eye, in a state of serious study.
…
4:30 pm, high-end apartment in the city center, study room on the top floor.
The door was pushed open, and Sifeng Yuan walked in in the future.
According to the official procedure of tutoring, class starts on time at 4:30, but Kurosawa Hikaru has to arrive early and wait for her to come over.
The two of them sat down at the desk and took out their textbooks and notebooks.
"This is the homework from last time. I solved it. Take a look."
Sifengyuan Mirai pulled his notebook over, wrote down some contents, and pushed it in front of him.
"You can't help it just after class?" Seeing this action, Kurosawa thought in surprise.
Although it was standard procedure to check homework and preview the lessons to be learned today before going to class, her taking his notebook and writing was an unexpected action.
Is it because I didn’t go to the dojo to accompany her on Sunday and I feel lonely?
With this question in mind, Kurosawa Hikaru took the notebook and opened the page she had written on.
"Are you Zero Hour?"
Sifengyuan Future's first sentence went straight to the point. After all, they didn't have much free time during tutoring classes and didn't have breaks.
"Yes, how did you guess it?"
Kurosawa Hikaru realized that this was the reason why she was so anxious. With a faint smile on his lips, he wrote a word, tapped it with his pen, and pushed it to her.
"Because you said that I would know soon. I was still thinking about how it would be done, but I didn't expect it to be like this. And you also said that you would play the piano masked. Although it was incredible, I watched Zero hour’s hand confirms it’s yours.”
Sifengyuan wrote a lot of words in the future, which also showed her excitement.
"Famous detective, can you tell by looking at your hands?"
"I've been taking classes, and I've watched your hands too much... I'm starting to look forward to playing in a duet with you. I'll play the violin, you play the piano, and we'll play in a duet together."
"Me too, let's go to class first."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't want to neglect her tutoring class. After all, she still had to make sure that she was admitted to Tokyo University. It wouldn't be too late to chat at 6 o'clock during the break.
