On Monday afternoon, as the sun set in the west, the dismissal bell rang throughout the campus.
Yan Huan walked along the path to catch the school bus. The dark green ring in his hand was tossed up and caught repeatedly, dancing nimbly between his fingers.
"Yan Huan, are we really just leaving the fragnt there, ow?"
On his shoulder, the figure of the black cat materialized and spoke up.
Yan Huan glanced at Myau-chan and tightly gripped the ring, not tossing it up this ti.
"Didn't you say that people unrelated to the Modifier can neither see nor touch the fragnt, and that the curse won't move toward those who can't see it?"
"That is indeed the case, ow..."
Myau-chan nodded, looking back in the direction of the fragnt. It seed to wear a look of pity, likely because it could see the treat but couldn't eat it.
Seeing this, Yan Huan gave a helpless smile and rubbed its chubby feline head.
"Little glutton."
"ow?"
"But since that is how it works, deciding which unlucky bastard has to bear the curse is quite a headache."
As he spoke, Yan Huan opened his palm, and the ring resting inside miraculously vanished.
If the fragnt of Bai Yi's Modifier possessed such properties, then Ye Shiyu's sudden affliction could be explained.
Furthermore, judging from Ye Shiyu's condition, the effects of that curse were exceptionally severe.
He had just spoken to Ye Lan on the phone after class and heard that Ye Shiyu was currently lying in bed, barely conscious.
The hospital ran several diagnostic tests but found no underlying cause.
Since its contagiousness and level of danger were completely unknown, they imdiately placed Ye Shiyu in isolation for further observation and treatnt.
Because of this, Ye Lan had also politely declined Yan Huan's offer to visit.
Thinking of this, Yan Huan smiled slightly and said to Myau-chan,
"How about this? Aside from An Le, whichever of the remaining hosts annoys , I will drag them over there and force them to swallow the poison."
His expression looked sowhat like a scheming imperial concubine from a harem drama who, after falling out of favor, resorts to witchcraft to curse her rivals.
"ow?!"
Just as Yan Huan was passing by the athletics field, he suddenly felt sothing and turned his head to look in that direction.
He saw Spencer, drenched in sweat, jogging on the track of the mostly deserted athletics field.
"Haa... Haa..."
She seed to have been running for a long ti and looked utterly exhausted.
Having inherently poor stamina, she had barely reached the starting line before she couldn't stop panting, leaning her hands on her knees as if unable to move another inch.
"..."
Yan Huan raised an eyebrow, watching her take a few sips of water and rest for a few minutes.
She then took out her mobile phone, observing sothing on the screen while mimicking the motions.
The phone seed to display so stamina training thods, which she began to replicate step by step.
Jumping jacks, high knees, and the like.
She truly had a gift for athletics. She only tilted her head to watch the movents once, and her body perfectly reproduced them.
Just a single glance was enough to tell how flawless her form was.
After completing several sets of these exercises, she started jogging again.
Her figure gradually disappeared behind the grandstand until Yan Huan could no longer see her.
"..."
It was only at this mont that Yan Huan unconsciously realized he had been watching Spencer for quite a while.
He shook his head, withdrew his gaze, glanced down at the ti on his phone, and continued toward the school bus stop.
"Even ti stop is a thing now. This is getting more and more absurd, they are all like Trisolarans."
Yan Huan took out his Bluetooth earbuds, rubbing his hair in stress as he approached the school bus, grumbling to himself out loud,
"The pressure is imnse..."
"What imnse pressure?"
Right before Yan Huan was about to board the school bus, a hand lightly tapped his shoulder from behind.
"..."
Yan Huan paused slightly and turned his head, coming face to face with a beautiful red-haired woman wearing a gloomy expression.
He blinked, surprisingly failing to recognize her at first glance.
"Sister... Sister Tong?!"
"Hey."
A simple sweep up and down was enough to explain the reason for Yan Huan's astonishnt.
Today, Tong Yingying's lovely hair was tied up neatly. It looked as if she had ticulously washed and styled it, revealing a rosy hue like dew-kissed petals.
She wore light makeup, free of conspicuous embellishnts like eyeshadow, mascara, or highlighter, making the vibrant crimson on her lips the most striking feature on her face.
It was the color of her lipstick.
It looked like a drop of red wine spilled upon a vast expanse of white snow, instantly captivating the eye.
If her face was this striking, her outfit certainly didn't fall behind.
The first thing that caught the eye was an elegant, vintage-style won's suit, though it was not the complete form.
Because the black jacket wasn't being worn; instead, it was casually slung over her shoulder.
But this had its advantages too:
The collar of her pure cotton white shirt was half-unbuttoned, revealing defined collarbones and a dark, ink-like mole just above them.
Below, form-fitting black bell-bottom pants traced the contours of her long legs.
She didn't pair them with high heels, opting instead for slightly elevated flat shoes, which served as the perfect period to her entire ensemble.
"..."
Watching Yan Huan's shocked expression and slightly dilated pupils, Tong Yingying curled her red lips into a slight smile.
Imdiately after, she casually tossed the suit jacket from her shoulder right onto his bewildered face and asked with a laugh,
"What, never seen
look like this before?"
Yan Huan caught the perfu-scented black jacket, unable to hold back his question.
"Older sister, who might you be, and can we get to know each other? I am Yan Huan, a Class 1-A student at Far Moon Academy. Young, energetic..."
"Get lost."
Tong Yingying crossed her arms, spat playfully, and jerked her head at Yan Huan, saying,
"Stop blocking the way, co with ."
Yan Huan raised an eyebrow, watching Tong Yingying's back view as she walked away, and then glanced down at the black jacket in his arms.
So, imitating Tong Yingying in a dramatic fashion, he slung the black jacket over his shoulder.
Not going to lie, it really gave off a cool and imposing vibe.
It just felt like walking behind Tong Yingying didn't make him the boss; instead, it gave off the vibe of a little sidekick.
Thinking this, he quickened his pace to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with her.
Finally, it no longer looked like a female gang boss leading her underling to sweep through two rival streets.
Instead, they looked like an incredibly ship-worthy couple with an age gap.
"Sister Tong, why did you suddenly co to Kyogo Ward today?"
Tong Yingying glanced back at him and said,
"I had so business to take care of in Kyogo Ward. I just finished, so I figured I would co pick you up."
"I see..."
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"You're treating
to a al? Is there really such a good thing?"
"It doesn't entirely count. After all, I'm paying for it with the money you and Tian Li made from streaming before. Taken from the people, used for the people. That kid Tian Li has already taken his red envelope and went off to have fun with his girlfriend..."
At this point, Tong Yingying stopped in her tracks, turned back to look at Yan Huan, and said,
"So, I have no choice but to treat you to a al~"
"Wait a minute, why did Brother Li get a red envelope so he could choose what to do, while I get railroaded into a al?"
"Sorry, I'm just that bossy with you."
Tong Yingying crossed her arms and smiled, her tone leaving no room for argunt.
However, this undeniable tone didn't make Yan Huan feel displeased. On the contrary, he read a hint of implication hidden within her words.
It made him involuntarily recall the tip-off provided by Myau-chan in its information role that night...
As a result, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Sakuramiya Hitomi, the daughter of the second son of the patriarch of the Sakuramiya family, and the eldest daughter of the direct lineage in her generation.
Above her were three older brothers, all of whom were outstanding talents, true dragons and phoenixes among n.
And she herself had currently traveled across the ocean, leaving her hotown to study at Far Moon Academy in Linn, where she also served as the Vice President of the Student Council.
'So, why on earth did such a stern and serious young woman co all the way out here just because of a single sentence from that idiot Yurianna?'
At this mont, Sakuramiya Hitomi, whose face showed nothing but whose heart was already overflowing with resentnt, thought exactly this.
"Yabashi-kun! How about we go out to eat tonight?"
Right in front of Sakuramiya Hitomi's eyes, Yurianna lightly patted the shoulder of Yabashi Ki, who was walking along on his way ho, giving him quite a scare.
Turning around, Yabashi Ki saw three other people standing behind the careless, grinning Yurianna.
They were the Queen of Losing Sakuramiya Hitomi, the toxic friend Ashley, and a random passerby wearing a Shuurei Academy school uniform, Jiang Nuannuan.
"The Vice President and Ashley are here too, huh? And who is this?"
Hearing this, Yurianna pushed Jiang Nuannuan forward and introduced her to Yabashi Ki once again.
This was the umpteenth ti she had introduced Jiang Nuannuan to soone today. She basically told everyone she ran into.
It was enough to show that Yurianna was an extrovert, and a truly divine person at that.
At noon, she had been ruthlessly chased all the way by an expressionless Ye Shiyu. The mont she escaped, she completely forgot all about it.
Not only did she not take it to heart, but she even comnted,
"It seems Senior Student Ye is not the person the President likes. She lacks the strength, how disappointing."
In the afternoon, she boldly brought her high school best friend, who attended a completely different school, to attend elective classes at Far Moon Academy.
Despite this, they miraculously weren't discovered by the teacher, leaving Ashley utterly dumbfounded.
And now, after class, she wanted to drag everyone from the Student Council together for team building.
Not to ntion Ashley, who always complained but was actually quite compliant, criticizing Yurianna every ti yet always following her around everywhere.
As for Sakuramiya Hitomi...
Yurianna's single remark truly struck right at Sakuramiya's heart, convincing her to stay.
Honestly, maybe idiots just have better luck, getting exactly what they want in everything they do?
"Yabashi, don't you want to know who the President actually likes? I already have a lot of clues, and the truth will surely co out soon!!"
"..."
Sakuramiya Hitomi's armor had been utterly pierced by that very sentence, but Yabashi Ki remained adequately composed upon hearing it.
"Well, it's not that I'm not curious, but I have redial classes today... although going there just ans I'll be playing on my phone anyway."
"Eh, but Yabashi, your grades were already really good before coming to Far Moon, why do you still need redial classes?"
"To give my parents peace of mind, obviously."
Yabashi Ki spread his hands, sporting a passive, let-it-be look.
"They think that since my grades are in the top ten in grade, getting so extra tutoring will help
score even higher. Since they put it like that, what else could I do..."
Hearing this, Yurianna imdiately clapped her hands and pleaded with Yabashi Ki,
"Then Yabashi, let our Student Council all go out for dinner tonight! We can try to feel out the President's secrets, and it's perfect timing since Nuannuan is here too!"
"Didn't we just have team building at the Vice President's house last ti? Doing it again after just a week?"
"Well, yes, but last ti we went to the Sakuramiya house... how should I put it, the atmosphere felt a little weird?"
Yabashi Ki stroked his chin, his interest instantly piqued, and he chuckled,
"Now that you ntion it, maybe a little. Especially the President. He's seed preoccupied lately, I wonder if soone broke his heart?"
"..."
At these words, Sakuramiya Hitomi, standing behind Yurianna, stiffened slightly, her fists clenching tight.
With a guilty conscience, she shifted her gaze away, no longer looking in their direction, and focused entirely on the picturesque dusk scenery of Linn.
Who would have thought that Yabashi Ki's voice behind her would continue on,
"It really makes you curious. With the President's temperant, for him to be unable to suppress it and let it show on his face, that chief culprit must have done sothing incredibly excessive and disgusting."
"..."
"Could it be so kind of pervert's—"
"Yabashi-kun..."
Just as Yabashi Ki was speaking with great enthusiasm, Sakuramiya Hitomi's voice suddenly drifted over, sounding like a vengeful spirit demanding his life.
Sakuramiya Hitomi was still smiling, but in Yabashi Ki's eyes, she looked possessed by a demon, her face twisted by the heavy accumulation of resentnt.
"Eek!"
His face paled, and he quickly pulled out his phone, checking the ti as he nervously stamred,
"But at this hour, the President has probably already boarded the school bus to head back to the South Ward. If we're going to have team building, we need to hurry over there and find him..."
Before Yabashi Ki could finish, Yurianna's nose suddenly twitched, much like a puppy catching the scent of a sausage.
Sniff, sniff~
A second later, her eyes lit up slightly, and she instinctively scanned her surroundings.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ashley was about to complain, but Yurianna pressed a finger to her lips,
"Shh... My gossip antenna has been activated. I have a premonition, there's big news!"
"Huh? What the heck is a gossip antenna?"
"No ti to explain! Everyone, follow !!"
Yurianna suddenly locked onto a direction and dashed off enthusiastically, dragging Jiang Nuannuan along with her.
The three left behind exchanged speechless glances, but they had no choice but to follow.
Unexpectedly, the direction Yurianna sprinted in was directly toward the school bus loading zone, not far from where they had t.
The other three rely walked quickly to catch up, so they watched helplessly as Yurianna and Jiang Nuannuan ducked behind so bushes, peered in a certain direction, and gasped in amazent.
"Oh my! This is intense!!"
"Are you serious?"
Hearing that there was indeed juicy gossip to be had, Ashley and Yabashi Ki hurriedly picked up their pace, imdiately leaving Sakuramiya Hitomi, who had the worst stamina, trailing in the back.
Hearing this, the far-trailing Sakuramiya Hitomi looked confused. Unable to outrun them, she could only call out to ask Yurianna,
"Eh? What... what's intense?"
But Yurianna was already completely engrossed in the spectacular scene unfolding before her eyes, completely lacking the ti to respond to her.
At this mont, Yabashi Ki and Ashley, who had followed Yurianna, finally reached the front line and cast their gaze over.
Surprisingly, just like Yurianna, they both sucked in a breath of cold air in unison,
"Hiss~~"
"It really is that intense?!"
Hearing this, Sakuramiya Hitomi, running dead last, felt incredibly frustrated, her heart burning with curiosity and impatience.
"Seriously!! What in the world did you guys see?! Tell
already!!"
Anger made Sakuramiya Hitomi's small face grow even redder, but despite running with all her might, she was still painfully slow.
Her sprint was barely on par with a normal person's brisk walk...
Oh no, it was even slower!
By the ti Sakuramiya Hitomi finally arrived at the destination, panting heavily, she glared resentfully at the others, who were all completely absorbed in the spectacle.
But finally, it was her turn to see exactly what was happening.
Taking a look, although she only caught the tail end of the scene, it was still explosive.
She watched helplessly as the President carried a won's suit jacket casually over his shoulder with one hand, laughing and talking as he followed a beautiful red-haired woman toward the parking lot.
Positioned to the side, the group could clearly see the smiles on Yan Huan's and the beautiful woman's faces, as well as the close intimacy between them.
Anyone passing by would instantly say:
Hiss, what a pri example of an old ox eating tender grass!
Oh no, considering how dazzling Tong Yingying looked today, public opinion might shift:
Tsk tsk, I don't want to work hard anymore!
At first glance, it carried a strong vibe of him being a gigolo, which naturally made the others think the drama was intense.
And for Sakuramiya Hitomi, the explosiveness of this scene went up yet another level...
Because as luck would have it, she actually knew that woman!!
"Red-Haired Demon?!"
With just one glance, Sakuramiya Hitomi couldn't help but cry out in shock.
"What Red-Haired Demon?"
Yurianna turned her head, and the rest of them also looked back at her.
This made Sakuramiya Hitomi realize she had almost slipped up. Her expression changed slightly, and she muttered softly,
"...It's nothing, it's just that the woman's dyed hair... don't you guys, um, find it a little strange?"
Yabashi Ki kept his eyes fixed on the scene and simply replied,
"I don't think so. In fact, I think it looks really good."
"..."
Yabashi Ki had just paved his own road to death.
anwhile, Yurianna watched the back views of Yan Huan and Tong Yingying walking toward the parking lot. After pondering for a mont, she finally delivered her verdict,
"That has to be the person the President likes, right?!"
"Im... Impossible!"
Sakuramiya Hitomi instinctively denied it, and everyone imdiately looked at her again.
She froze slightly, pressed her lips together, and said,
"No matter how you look at it, that woman doesn't seem like soone who could be with the President..."
Ashley also nodded, analyzing the situation rationally,
"I agree. That woman looks a lot older than the President. And honestly, I don't think the President is the type of person who would sell his dignity for money... She's probably an elder relative or a friend he t out in society?"
Yabashi Ki disagreed, instead speaking as if he were highly experienced,
"A person can't just throw away money for the sake of dignity, right? But older sister types really don't make the cut; they can't even compare to a single strand of hair on a loli. Let
emphasize once again, the President's taste is truly terrible."
"..."
Everyone silently stepped a little further away from Yabashi Ki.
At this mont, Jiang Nuannuan, who had been acting like thin air on the sidelines, glanced at Sakuramiya Hitomi—who was clutching her middle finger and looking extrely nervous—and couldn't help but ask,
"But... if it were for money, aren't all the inner court students at Far Moon Academy very wealthy? Like the Vice President here. She's young, beautiful, and cos from a very affluent family... It feels like she would be a much better choice, right?"
Oh my, who is this incredibly perceptive child?
Sakuramiya Hitomi froze slightly and looked at Jiang Nuannuan. She truly felt that the girl lived up to her na, as she actually felt a wave of warmth in her heart.
But Yurianna shook her head and said,
"Ah, there's absolutely no way Sakuramiya and the President could happen~"
Yabashi Ki nodded in agreent,
"Having money is good, of course, but having too much power and influence isn't great. Take the Vice President's older brothers, for example... they're hard to judge, to say the least.
"Anyway, the Vice President's family has a ton of rules. Even if you get to enjoy glory and wealth by marrying in, it's wealth sought amidst danger."
Ashley agreed as well,
"No wait, even if it really is impossible for the Vice President and the President, why did you guys suddenly start debating the feasibility of the President becoming a gigolo? Would the President really be that kind of person?!"
In just a few sentences, they had made Sakuramiya Hitomi's face burn bright red.
She massaged her forehead, where a vein was throbbing, barely managing to recover her rationality, and asked Yurianna,
"So, didn't you say you wanted to find out the truth? Shouldn't we follow them to see?"
"Oh, right!"
Yurianna stood up, noting that Yan Huan and Tong Yingying had gone down the vehicle ramp into the parking lot. She looked toward the ergency exit on the other side and said,
"Let's take the stairs down, we can get down there faster than them!"
"Go, go, go!"
Everyone imdiately scrambled up and ran toward the ergency exit.
But Sakuramiya Hitomi's stamina was incredibly weak. There was no way she could keep up with their rapid movents, fueled entirely by their thirst for gossip.
She could only indignantly chase after them, shouting in exasperation,
"I'm telling you, wait for ! Ser... Seriously!!"
"Sister Tong, what exactly is your real reason for treating
to dinner?"
Was it really just because of the asly money they made from that stream?
Not to ntion Yan Huan could already tell that Tong Yingying didn't lack that little bit of money at all. Even if she cared about it, why wait until now instead of inviting him earlier?
He had a feeling...
There was an ulterior motive.
"..."
Hearing that Yan Huan didn't buy her previous excuse, Tong Yingying glanced at him and didn't imdiately reply.
Why no reply? Because Yan Huan had indeed hit the nail on the head!
There was absolutely no way she was treating him to dinner just because of that tiny bit of profit!
The real reason was actually Sakuramiya Hitomi.
Yesterday, because of Nara's situation, she had her first clash with the eldest miss of the Sakuramiya family. This prompted her to pay closer attention, and she even sent people to investigate after returning.
The investigation revealed that this little girl was actually backed by such a colossal powerhouse.
Even though Sakuramiya Hitomi herself was still wet behind the ears, the power behind her was certainly nothing to underestimate.
Tong Yingying wasn't afraid of her, but she still felt a bit uneasy.
Why such a contradiction?
Because "not being afraid" applied to Nara's situation.
Even if the other party was a colossal powerhouse, within the borders of Linn, she could guarantee that her word regarding Nara's affairs was law.
No matter what she wanted to do, there was no way the other party could protect that person.
Moreover, the other party probably wouldn't even try to protect her.
But the "uneasiness" applied to her own private matters, naly, the situation regarding Yan Huan.
Sakuramiya Hitomi's powerful and influential family wasn't the main point. The point was that not only did she have power and influence, she also genuinely liked Yan Huan!
A university student, a rich woman, young, in the sa Student Council, and her personality didn't seem as dreadful as Yan Huan had described—she was even willing to cut off her own retreat for Nara's sake...
'These damn buffs are stacked to the max!!'
'Thinking it over carefully, contrasting that youthful, charming, and brave beautiful girl with herself—an old woman who heavily smoked, drank excessively, and had an explosive temper...'
'How could she even compete?'
This line of thought had literally caused Tong Yingying to have a nightmare all night long after going ho yesterday.
She dreamt that Yan Huan and Sakuramiya Hitomi reconciled. Just like the male and female lead in a romance novel who finally achieved a happy ending after overcoming nurous hardships, they walked down the aisle under a hall full of blessings, eventually having a house full of descendants and being buried together in the end.
And then there was herself, left with nothing, slowly growing old amidst her parents' marriage pressuring, clinging to an increasingly annoying career, eventually dying in the foreign land of Linn.
'Was this right?'
It scared Tong Yingying so much that she imdiately rushed over to find Yan Huan today, needing to absorb so of the masculine vitality attached to the male university student to calm her nerves.
It just so happened she genuinely did have business in Kyogo Ward today as well.
"What do you think?"
Tong Yingying didn't turn back, rely throwing the question back at him.
"I really can't figure it out."
"Hehe, then take your ti thinking about it~"
Once she said this, combined with what Myau-chan had ntioned earlier about Tong Yingying having so little fetishes, it imdiately made Yan Huan feel a bit constrained.
In the shadows, the little mbers of the Student Council had charged to the front line. Watching Tong Yingying lead a constrained Yan Huan through the various luxury cars with a relaxed expression, they harbored suspicions.
"Hmm... She doesn't really seem like the type the President would like. It looks more like..."
"A yellow hair trying to seize one's beloved by power?"
As expected of Yabashi Ki's extensive knowledge; his summary was sharp and precise.
"Yes, exactly!"
"Especially with how she's leading the visibly tense President among all these luxury cars, it looks even more like it."
Yurianna covered her face, involuntarily imagining the scenario,
"Taking the pure little white flower who grew up in poverty and using money to ruthlessly defile the pure love he harbors in his heart. This plot seems incredibly fitting no matter how you look at it... it just feels like it's missing a little... sothing?"
Yabashi Ki chuckled and said,
"It's missing the original spouse watching everything unfold incompetently from the shadows."
"Haa... Haa... You... you guys need to wait for !"
Speaking of which, the physically weak Sakuramiya Hitomi finally arrived belatedly from the ergency exit.
She looked up, and her head, which was already spinning from exertion, practically fainted outright.
Ashley curled her lips, giving the two troublemakers who loved watching a spectacle a look of sheer disdain.
"Can you two not just disregard the facts entirely? Are we just starting rumors now? Does this plot even make sense? Is the President really that kind of person?"
But Yabashi Ki, up front, still rubbed his chin and added,
"Plots beco more reasonable the more you add to them! Similar plots also feature little white flowers who aren't like that. In those scenarios, the explanation is: his original spouse is simply absolute trash."
"Right, exactly."
Yurianna nodded and said,
"Even though he constantly maintained his original intentions despite the onslaught of money, he sees that his original spouse—who he hoped would save him—had long since degenerated and rotted away, committing a grave mistake that made his heart die completely, causing him to abandon oneself to despair..."
Yabashi Ki and Yurianna lightly high-fived, looking entirely like-minded.
"Correct! Yurianna, you sure read a lot of these~"
"Hehe, just a little~"
The two revealed knowing smiles. Ashley was speechless, completely unable to join their discussion.
Only Jiang Nuannuan, standing off to the side, was suddenly startled and hurriedly spoke up to remind them,
"Wait a second, um... your Vice President doesn't look well!"
"Huh?"
Everyone turned around to look, only to see Sakuramiya Hitomi's face as pale as a sheet of paper. She looked like she had been hit by a truck and sent flying dozens of ters, lying on the ground, unable to catch her breath and on the verge of suffocating.
"Sakuramiya?!"
"Vice President!!"
"Oh my, you guys are terrible... Sakuramiya isn't in good health, and you still ran that fast?!"
"Eh, eh? Sor... Sorry!"
She was already dying from the trauma inflicted by those two in just a few sentences, and now Ashley mistakenly attributed her state to physical illness, effectively acting as the final person sealing the coffin lid and playing the suona on the outside...
Well, let the banquet begin, serve the dishes!
Sakuramiya Hitomi was a respectable person in life; how could she endure such a blow?
Only Jiang Nuannuan pressed her lips together and spoke up,
"I think the situation isn't like what you're all saying..."
"Eh?"
"Bamboo can be burned but not change its principles. If your President would change his mind right now over external things like money and luxury cars, wouldn't he easily be taken away later when he ets soone even wealthier?"
As she spoke, Jiang Nuannuan looked toward Sakuramiya Hitomi, whose face was still pale as paper, and said,
"Besides, no matter how rich soone is, I'm afraid they still couldn't compare to the Vice President here. So... I don't think that's the case. Of course, that's just my opinion~"
These words instantly reactivated Sakuramiya Hitomi, who was on the verge of fainting.
'Right!'
'I am the big wealthy family here!'
'Why am I inserting myself into the role of the ruthlessly pillaged original spouse from a poor family?!'
'Is there sothing wrong with my head?'
Sakuramiya Hitomi instantly regained her spirit, practically leaping straight out of her coffin on the spot.
She covered her mouth, forced a smile, and said,
"Sorry, I wasn't feeling very well. Anyway, weren't we going to invite the President to dinner? Why don't we just go ask him directly?
"Not only can we confirm if team building is happening, but we can also ascertain the relationship between the President and that woman. That's better than chasing the wind and grasping at shadows like this, isn't it?"
Good!
The awakened Sakuramiya Hitomi successfully entered phase two and seized the initiative.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to stand calmly, and looked outside.
"Let's go!"
Over there, Tong Yingying seemingly couldn't find where she parked for a mont, so she went to fetch the car alone, leaving Yan Huan standing in place to wait.
Consequently, the mbers of the Student Council seized this opportunity and prepared to go over and ask him.
At this mont, shockingly, Sakuramiya Hitomi, who had the worst stamina, was charging at the very front.
Yan Huan was holding Tong Yingying's jacket and was just about to look down to browse his phone when the crisp sound of footsteps approached from the side.
Just as he intuitively raised his head, Sakuramiya Hitomi's voice reached his ears first.
"President!"
"..."
Yan Huan paused slightly and turned his head, looking in that direction alongside Myau-chan on his shoulder.
He saw Sakuramiya Hitomi standing prettily in front of him, wearing a very beautiful and elegant princess dress.
She tightly clenched her fists, looking incredibly petite and utterly exquisite.
Her extrely adorable fra radiated a magic that stirred an infinite desire to protect her within Yan Huan, making him feel a sudden urge to pull her into his arms and hold her tightly.
With just one glance, Yan Huan felt he had reverted to being a flat-chest enthusiast once again, and the most devout believer among them at that.
Yet he didn't know...
Whether his flat-chest enthusiast identity stemd from his fetish, him being very lustful, or purely...
Because of Sakuramiya Hitomi.
Looking at the trace of nervousness on Sakuramiya Hitomi's face and the fiery gaze she was desperately trying to conceal, causing her eyes to dart around, for a brief mont, Yan Huan felt as if he had forgotten everything.
Forgotten the things she had done, forgotten that she was a host of a Modifier.
Thus, standing before him was only the girl nad 'Sakuramiya Hitomi', and nothing more.
He opened his mouth, instinctively shrinking back the arm holding Tong Yingying's black jacket as he asked,
"Sakuramiya? Why are you here..."
"President, it's not just the Vice President, we're here too!"
To take a quick glance, he imdiately noticed the other mbers of the Student Council Managent nearby.
"...What are you guys up to?"
Yan Huan raised an eyebrow. Seeing the deep curiosity and concern on their faces, he secretly felt suspicious.
But it only took him one second to realize what was going on, precisely locking onto the 'chief culprit'.
"Yurianna, are you trying to stir up drama again?!"
"Huh? M-?"
Yurianna pointed at herself and hurriedly shook her head,
"I didn't, I wouldn't! I wasn't the one guessing that the President might be stolen away from the person he likes by a rich woman using luxury cars and luxury residences or anything!"
"..."
Hearing this, Yan Huan's face instantly darkened.
He was just about to speak when a vehicle drove over from the depths of the parking lot.
The Student Council mbers took a quick glance and imdiately froze in shock.
Because the arriving vehicle wasn't so luxury car at all, but rather a van capable of packing an entire load of people!!
In the passenger seat, Tong Yingying used the crank to roll down the vehicle window glass. Just as she was about to say sothing to Yan Huan, she locked eyes with the pretty Sakuramiya Hitomi standing outside.
With just one glance, her expression turned foul,
"Chi Yuan, Bai Lu, bring Yan Huan into the car!"
"Orders received!"
As soon as they spoke, the sliding door in the back was pulled open, and out popped two charming big sisters. Smiling brightly, they each grabbed one of Yan Huan's arms and hauled him into the car.
Yan Huan was about to resist, but upon hearing those voices, he imdiately recognized that these were the won who had forced him to call Sakuramiya Hitomi back then.
"..."
He looked back and saw one of the won winking at him.
He pondered for a mont before giving up his struggle, letting the two of them drag him into the car.
"Click!!"
In the very next second, the door slamd shut. The van peeled out with a zero-fra start and bolted toward the exit.
Leaving Sakuramiya Hitomi and her group utterly bewildered, frozen in place.

"I... when I said the President was being stolen away, I ant ntally being stolen away by a luxury car...
"I didn't an being directly abducted and hauled off in a van!!"
Only Sakuramiya Hitomi gnashed her teeth, pulling out her mobile phone and barking at the other end of the line,
"Nara, keep an eye out for that Toyota Hiace leaving the parking lot entrance! And while you're at it, call a car down to the underground parking to pick us up!
"Take us wherever they go! I am going to snatch the President back!!"
