The moment I entered the barrier, the fatigue and weakness on my body were instantly washed away.

"..."

She stood alone inside the barrier, glancing around for a long time, trying to find traces left by the president when he came in earlier.

Unfortunately, it seemed nothing was discovered.

Just as she took a deep breath, intending to lean on the student council president's desk, her wrist suddenly bumped into something on the desk.

"Huh?"

She was slightly taken aback and turned her head to look behind her.

On the table, there was a gift box that had been opened.

That gift box...

Is it the birthday gift box I gave to the president before?

Sakuragi Hitomi was slightly stunned, looking at the gift box.

Inside, it was empty.

This just meant that the gift was carried away by Yan Huan.

...

...

Afternoon, after class.

"Hey, An Le, look, the school bus from the South District is moving! Has your ride arrived?"

"Yeah, it has..."

An Le had ordered a car on the Mber ride-sharing app, and it was almost at the school gate now.

It's hard to catch a taxi around Yuetsuki; you have to walk all the way out of the Forest Park along the main road outside the shopping street to sometimes find one or two cars there.

"Hello, is this Miss An? You..."

"Please... please follow that school bus in front of us!"

"... I can only reach the destination you entered, South District... Harry Avenue. Is that where this school bus ends?"

An Le didn't know where Yan Huan would get off, so she just randomly entered a stop on the school bus's South District line.

Now that the driver asked, she pursed her lips.

Little Thumb, with a smirk on his face, looked at the still innocent and simple An Le, knowing it was time for him to take action.

Just as he was about to speak, An Le's empty eyes slightly moved, and she suddenly said,

"Sir, it's like this... my boyfriend is on that bus, and I secretly saw him texting with another girl on his phone, so... I'm going to catch him in the act."

Little Thumb blinked and watched An Le pull out a small wad of cash from her pocket and shove it into the driver's hand, pleading,

"Driver, can you help me?"

An Le's eyes were hollow, staring straight at the driver in the main seat.

The driver was slightly stunned, then decisively adjusted his driver's cap.

The next second, he pushed away the money An Le handed him and turned his head.

"No need for money, I only have one request: when we get there, I'll go up with you."

"..."

"Fasten your seatbelt, we're ready to go!"

Soon after, the small car accelerated to catch up with the school bus ahead, which wasn't moving too fast or too slow.

Little Thumb turned around with eyes wide open, watching An Le fasten her seatbelt and lean back in her seat.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, An Le turned her head to look at the parallel-moving school bus, and at this angle, she could see Yan Huan sitting by the window.

He was holding a folding fan, examining it closely, lost in thought.

An Le didn't know what that fan was, her attention solely focused on Yan Huan's side profile.

"..."

She swallowed, her mind evidently overflowing with yellow matter.

Once she knew where Xiao Huan lived today...

Tomorrow?

No, tomorrow seems too rushed, especially since the day after tomorrow something starts.

If that night went too far, would it affect Xiao Huan's exam the day after tomorrow?

Otherwise...

Maybe wait until the weekend after the midterms end on Friday.

It would also give a weekend's time, increasing the chances since he would stay home more.

Thinking this way, An Le's breathing involuntarily sped up, and mixed hot air continuously spilled from her mouth.

"Ha... Ha..."

But the next second, seeing this in the rearview mirror, the driver spoke up righteously,

"No worries, little miss, I hate those who deceive others' feelings and bodies the most!

"When we get up there, I'll give him a strong kick..."

...

...

"Ding ding ding~"

On the bus, Yan Huan's phone suddenly rang in his arms as he was nearing the South District after sitting for a long while.

He couldn't help but set down the folding fan he'd been looking at along the way and took out his phone.

On it, Spencer's incoming call was so apparent.

So, he quickly put on his Bluetooth earpiece and answered the call,

"How's it going, Spencer?"

"Heh heh, guess if it went well?"

"... It did."

"Ah, how... how did you guess?!"

"..."

Because your tone already told me!!

"You wouldn't know, today there was no one there, I handled it by myself."

"Just you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan became more convinced about Spencer's mother's intentions.

"Yes indeed. I was getting the number there, then sat in front of the birdy sister, whatever materials she asked for, I'd give her..."

Listening to her happily babbling about the details of handling affairs today, Yan Huan felt not a bit impatient, instead unconsciously smiled.

Sometimes, he even chimed in with a word or two,

"Didn't you finish early, how come you're calling me now?"

"I thought you might be in class, I didn't want to disturb you..."

"So considerate?"

"Yep."

"What did you do during this time?"

"I was shopping around, bought some tasty snacks, this milk tea too... got you a cup as well."

"You eat so much now, can you still eat later?"

"I can, I eat lots."

"Mhmm..."

"So... where are you now?"

"Probably near, one stop left."

Looking at his current location, Yan Huan joked,
