My second life is a bit strange?

The closet was very stuffy, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on their foreheads. The sweat gradually soaked their clothes, and their hormones started to kick in.

"Do you think those two have been together for a while?"

"That's unlikely. After all, it's Shinomiya-kun, while the class president comes from an ordinary family."

"What's wrong with being an ordinary family?"

"But they seemed very close. Shinomiya was cold at first, and the class president was the first to approach her."

"Yes, we're always together."

"So those two really are in that kind of relationship."

Kaguya heard everything being said outside. She looked up and saw Kaede looking at her too. Embarrassed, Kaguya immediately lowered her head, listening to her own heartbeat, and mustered her courage: "Kaede...I..."

Kaguya's words were interrupted by a ringing bell, which came from the pocket of Maple's pants.

The incessant ringing of the bell made the two of them a little flustered. Since Kaede couldn't move her arm, she could only rely on Kaguya to reach for it little by little.

The people changing clothes outside were also drawn to the sound of the bell.

"Whose phone is ringing?"

"do not know."

"It sounds really noisy, like it's coming from this cabinet."

"I remember this is the class monitor's locker. Did you leave your phone in there?"

"I think I remember the class monitor carrying his phone with him." Someone whispered. He had asked Feng if it would be inconvenient to put the phone in his clothes during the performance.

But the other party said they were waiting for a very important notification.

"It's a bit noisy, I'll turn it off."

"That's not a good idea."

"It's okay, I know the class monitor very well, and besides, I don't care who hit me."

As soon as Feng heard the voice, he knew it was that bastard Xiaoyi, and his heart jumped into his throat.

Kaguya quickened her pace, no longer caring about propriety, and rummaged around in Kaede's pockets: "Found it."

When Kaguya touched the phone, she felt a warm sensation on the back of her hand. Without thinking much of it, she quickly hung up.

Xiaoyi reached out to open the door, but when he heard the phone ring stop, he walked away.

The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. After everyone had left, they crawled out of the closet. Feng took off his coat and lay down on the bench.

A breeze brought a slight coolness, and the sunlight was a bit dazzling, so Feng shielded his eyes with the back of his hand.

The spring breeze was so warm, carrying a faint floral fragrance that it made one's eyes water. Kaguya felt as if the scene was a dream.

She almost blurted out what was on her mind, and now she was a little afraid to face Feng: "I'm going to change my clothes; I still need to prepare for the campfire tonight."

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while longer."

Feng's heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He took off his performance costume and wanted to go back to his classroom for a drink of water. The cultural festival was coming to an end, and some classes had already returned to normal.

There were far fewer tourists at the school. Back in the classroom, the chairs were neatly arranged, and only one figure was hunched over the desk.

The setting sun lazily shone on her. Feng poured a glass of water and placed it on the table. He started scrolling through his phone and only gently shook Eriri awake when the water was at the right temperature.

"Get up."

"Umm~" Eriri made a cute sound, yawning and stretching sleepily, her school uniform lifting up to reveal her flat stomach without an ounce of fat.

With her eyes moistened by the mist, Feng rubbed them with her hands and smiled as she handed over a water glass to the adorable Eriri: "Have some water, it's warm."

Eriri stood there, holding her cup and staring ahead, taking small sips of water and letting out meaningless sighs with each sip. Her hair was dyed shiny, and his reflection was in her unfocused eyes. A few drops of water dripped onto her clothes as she drank.

Feng took a tissue and wiped her face, propping himself up on his arm and quietly watching her. Her eyes were as blue as the sky, without a trace of impurity, only him.

A gentle breeze blew by, brushing through the girl's hair and touching her heart.

Once she recovered, Eriri asked, "Is the campfire lit?"

"It's not seven o'clock yet, let's go now."

The two walked side by side, their shadows stretched long by the setting sun.

"By the way, Ah Feng, have you... heard of any campus legends?"

Kaede noticed Eriri's awkward manner when she spoke.

"What legend?"

"Never mind if I haven't heard of it." Eriri quickly changed the subject, while mentally complaining.

[Everyone's talking about it, why doesn't A-Feng know?]

[But this is good too, because I won't feel so guilty when giving gifts.]

[Sneaking around, hehe.]

They stood on the periphery of the crowd and saw Kaguya by the campfire.

"Shinomiya looks really handsome in this outfit. You could even call him dashing."

Eriri used her hand as a camera to frame the other person, thinking of finding an opportunity to make them her model.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Special Ballroom Dance

Kaguya, dressed in the uniform of the Fairness Club, was accompanied by another classmate who held a torch and lit the tip of an arrow. Kaguya drew her bow to its fullest extent and aimed at the bonfire.

The noise around her seemed to have no effect on her at all, but this was all an illusion. As Kaguya's personal maid, Hayasaka could naturally see Kaguya's abnormality and was worried that she might shoot the arrow somewhere else.

Will Maple know what I'm trying to say?

[After all, the atmosphere had been built up to that point, and every time I thought about how many pretty girls were around Feng, I felt a little uncomfortable.]

I admit I'm a bit possessive, but that's just how I show my affection for Feng.

Kaguya released the bowstring, and the arrow flew out, leaving a long, orange-red trail. It accurately struck the campfire, igniting a towering flame. Cheers erupted all around, but she stood alone, somewhat awkward, lost in thought.

"As expected of you, you can still immerse yourself in your own world even in this kind of situation."

"Say that again and I'll dock your pay!" Kaguya pouted and glared at Hayasaka.

"Ah, I was wrong, please forgive me, young lady." Hayasaka apologized immediately, but his face was completely expressionless, making him seem insincere. "But young lady, have you given away your pendant yet?"

"not yet."

"It will expire after tonight." (Qianxun Resource Group: 255.595.300)

"I know!" Kaguya stomped her foot and came to Kaede's side, only to find that Chika Eriri was already there at some point.

Chika: "Eri, you dance so well! Can you teach me?"

“My father taught me some things, and I can teach you.”

One dared to teach and the other dared to learn, thus leaving Kaguya and Kaede with their own space.

"This is for you." Kaguya seized the opportunity and took out the pendant. "Don't overthink it, it's just to thank you for saving me today."

Feng accepted it with a smile, saying nothing: "Your face is very red."

"What! This...it's just from the campfire!" Kaguya muttered in protest, gesturing wildly with her hands, as if smoke was rising from her head.

Seeing Eriri and Kaguya dancing there, Kaede suddenly felt inspired and invited them to dance: "May I ask you to dance for me?"

"Of course, of course," Kaguya stammered, taking Kaede's outstretched hand.

The two mingled in the crowd, and everyone was having so much fun that few people noticed them.

Kaede linked arms with Kaguya's waist, and the two moved in perfect unison, dancing gracefully through the crowd.

However, this scene was witnessed by Koichi and Seji, two of their mischievous friends, who were among the few who did not dance.

"Waaaah, I'm so envious."

Eriri and Chika, for reasons unknown, were chasing and playing around the campfire when they stumbled upon this scene.

Qianhua walked forward angrily: "Fine, you two are hiding here and secretly dancing, I want to dance too."

Feng was both amused and exasperated, so he had no choice but to dance with Qianhua again. When Feng hugged Qianhua's waist, she visibly trembled, and the flesh on her face quivered, which amused Feng. He tried to suppress his laughter while dancing.

Dancing with Chika wore out my shoes a bit; the toes of my white sneakers got all blackened from being stepped on.

Chika looked away shyly. While dancing, she was so engrossed in watching the other person that she had completely forgotten the dance steps.

Kaede extended her hand to Eriri: "Do you want to jump?"

"Everyone else jumped, so of course I have to too." Eriri proudly raised her head, looking like she was giving you face.

Seji and Koichi stared at him through gritted teeth.

"That's a scumbag! He's definitely a scumbag!"

"Why aren't there any pretty girls dancing with me?!"

"No way, even without a dance partner, I'm going to be the center of attention!" Koichi ran to the campfire and played a catchy background music.

"Two tigers love to dance~ Hey! Little rabbit, be a good boy and pull up the carrot~ Yay~"

He started shaking all over the place.

"Pfft hahaha!!"

Everyone was amused, and even some silly kids from other classes joined in the dancing, completely turning the bonfire party off course.

Feng laughed until his face turned bright red, and tears streamed down his face.

Eriri tugged at his sleeve and held out her palm, revealing a maple leaf-patterned keychain: "This is a prize I won in another class today. I already have one, so I'm giving this to you."

“Then I’ll take it; I just need one more.” Feng didn’t notice that a heart was carved on the stem of the maple leaf.

Amidst laughter and joy, the cultural festival came to a close.

Finally, everyone booked a restaurant together, and Seji and Koichi sat next to him.

"Squad leader, try this, it's incredibly delicious." Shizhi picked up some tempura with his chopsticks.

Feng naturally wouldn't accept a boy offering her food, and immediately turned her head away in refusal.

"I understand." Shizhi coughed twice, swishing the fried shrimp through the air in an arc, making a strange sound: "Wu~~ Here comes the little airplane~"
