Chapter 203: He deserves to earn this money.

"Morning, Yan Huan."

When that pleasant voice rang out, Yan Huan and Sakuragi Hitomi’s attention was immediately drawn, and they soon noticed the girl next to them whose beauty couldn’t be hidden even by a mask.

Seeing her curved eyes and brows, Yan Huan paused briefly, then quickly smiled and greeted,

"Morning, Bai Yi."

Hearing this, Bai Yi gently removed her mask, revealing her pure and stunning face.

Sakuragi Hitomi maintained a smile, but her eyes momentarily switched to scanning mode, carefully sweeping over Bai Yi’s face.

She wore a tailored spring campus-style dress today, much taller than Sakuragi Hitomi.

Compared to the particularly petite Sakuragi Hitomi standing next to Yan Huan, Bai Yi seemed just right.

After greeting Yan Huan, she didn’t overlook Sakuragi Hitomi.

After a brief glance, she also smiled and said,

"Morning, Vice President Sakuragi."

"Morning, Bai Yi."

Sakuragi Hitomi withdrew her gaze and courteously nodded.

Although Sakuragi Hitomi knew that the friend Yan Huan met yesterday was probably Bai Yi, there was no significant change in Yan Huan’s expression when he mentioned her afterward, not even as much as when he mentioned his childhood friend.

So, at that time, Sakuragi Hitomi didn’t feel a severe sense of crisis.

But now, seeing her stunning beauty, Sakuragi Hitomi felt it wasn’t so simple.

Adolescents are restless, easily swayed by hormones to spark romance.

The saying "attraction at first sight" explains it well.

Moreover, the other party was yelling "Fan A" loudly on stage yesterday...

She needs to observe carefully.

Thinking this, Sakuragi Hitomi decided to hold back and wait for more information before acting.

Thus, she initiated the conversation.

Then, Sakuragi Hitomi covered her mouth with her hand, smiling, and said,

"Bai Yi’s performance yesterday was spectacular. I was there with a few from the student council, and everyone was deeply impressed."

"Eh? Really?"

A compliment made Bai Yi somewhat giddy, her nose inevitably lifted a bit.

So, tempted by the sweet candy-like praise, Bai Yi quickly let down her guard.

Sakuragi Hitomi, with a "sincere" nod, continued,

"Of course... But after getting home, I watched many of Bai Yi’s previous performances. Though you participate in many activities, it’s rare to hear you sing. It’s quite surprising."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi pursed her lips, embarrassedly responding,

"Well... the reasons are a bit complicated. But, it’s all thanks to Yan Huan."

While speaking, Bai Yi again flashed a beautiful smile at Yan Huan.

"Ding~"

Unaware of the silent scrutiny from Sakuragi Hitomi, the inexperienced Bai Yi’s smile as she looked at Yan Huan was like a visibly thrown flash grenade, hitting Sakuragi Hitomi right in the eye.

That gaze...

Sakuragi Hitomi’s smile stiffened slightly, about to inquire further when Yan Huan, glancing at the time, spoke to Bai Yi with a smile,

"We have our weekly student council meeting soon; let’s head to the classroom building first."

"Sure."

The topic being discreetly shifted by Yan Huan, the nearby Sakuragi Hitomi once again silently held her tongue.

This was intentional by Yan Huan.

Although Bai Yi did not use the modifier yesterday and Yan Huan’s actions did not explode into fragments of Bai Yi’s modifier,

Since Bai Yi is also a host of a modifier, it’s uncertain how her conflict with her mother is being handled, posing a risk of unexpected information leakage.

Sakuragi is completely unaware of this and was already inevitably entangled with the heavyweight Spencer last week, almost getting modified by Ye Shiyu...

Overall, it’s better to keep her away from these troubles.

That’s what Yan Huan thought.

Bai Yi carried a small handbag for her books, and now with her hands behind her back, she walked toward the classroom building with Yan Huan and Sakuragi Hitomi,

"By the way, Yan Huan, I borrowed your headphones before. Yours looked quite old, and coincidentally I had a new prototype from a recent endorsement. I’ll give it to you."

While walking, she suddenly took out a small box from her bag, another pair of blue noise-canceling headphones.

The packaging was quite nice, much better than Yan Huan’s plain old model, probably priced within a few hundred range.

"Ah, thank you."

After being busy all of yesterday, and since no modifier fragments exploded, receiving new headphones felt like a consolation prize.

But Sakuragi Hitomi’s gaze was sharper. She glanced up and saw the pink headphones of the same model worn in Bai Yi’s black hair.

Standing on Yan Huan’s right, yet still wearing the left ear noise-canceling headset?

This extremely inconvenient behavior could likely have only one reason:

She wanted Yan Huan to notice that they were wearing different colors of the same model.

If a girl has a crush on a boy, she might not straightforwardly tell him, "I like you, please be my boyfriend."

They are better at waiting, hinting, and creating signals of consent for closeness.

So, they would say, "Wow, your hands are so big, let’s compare," "Brr, it’s so cold today, I forgot to wear a coat," "I missed the last bus..."

Such words hint and prove a girl’s affectionate thoughts.

Scheming~

Sakuragi Hitomi quickly realized that this was an opponent equal in cunning and scheming.
