"I'm...I'm done!"

"I finished too!"

Hirasawa Yui and Furuhashi Fumino both exclaimed with delight that after such a long afternoon and evening of studying, they had finally finished studying for Higashikata Haku and Akiyama Mio.

"Let me see."

Dongfang Bai casually took the exercise book handed to him by Fumino Furuhashi, glanced at it a few times, and nodded slightly. Although there were still some mistakes, it was much more correct than before.

"You got quite a few right."

Dongfang Bai praised Fumino Guqiao, and she happily clenched her little fist, looking like she had finally succeeded, which was quite adorable.

"You've gotten quite a few right here too, so you should be able to pass the exam, right?"

Akiyama Mio breathed a slight sigh of relief. For a whole day, she had been explaining problems to Hirasawa Yui and Tainaka Ritsu. She also felt very thirsty and had a bit of a headache.

"Phew, after studying for so long, I feel like I'm about to faint..."

Ritsu Tainaka's eyes were bloodshot, and she was panting heavily. Because she had been stared at by Mio Akiyama, she couldn't concentrate at all and had been studying for a whole afternoon. Now she was truly relieved.

"In that case, the exam should go much better. There's still one day left, so we need to review and consolidate our knowledge."

Dongfang Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had seen Fumino Furuhashi's progress today. She was arguably the most diligent of the three who needed to review, and she genuinely wanted to improve her math skills.

"Waaaaah... Mio-chan, Tsumugi-tsumugi, Shiro-chan, thank you so much...!"

"It's nothing, we're all friends, it's nothing, right, Bai Jun?"

"Yes."

Hirasawa Yui looked grateful, and tears even welled up in her eyes. Akiyama Mio panicked and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only look at Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai simply smiled and nodded. Everyone was quite tired today, after all, being in the same place for so long, both the students and the teachers were exhausted.

"Then we should head home too. Good luck the day after tomorrow!"

Dongfang Bai glanced at the time; it was already getting late, and it was getting dark outside. If he didn't hurry, it would be too late.

"An ancient bridge? An ancient bridge...?"

Dongfang Bai was about to call Fumino Furuhashi to get up when he found her still sitting there in a daze. Was this a temporary short circuit caused by overuse of her brain...?

"Okay, I should head back now."

Kotobuki Tsumugi also realized that it was getting late. Her family was quite strict, and she couldn't stay out too late, so she had to go home first.

"Me and Lu Shunlu, what about you?"

Akiyama Mio pointed to Tainaka Ritsu, who was too exhausted to move, and then looked at Dongfang Bai and the others.

"Someone from my family will pick me up later."

Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled. Her butler would drive over to pick her up later; as a young lady of the Kotobuki family, she couldn't very well go home alone at night.

"Is Shiro-chan planning to go with Furuhashi-kun?"

Hirasawa Yui suddenly asked a question. Dongfang Bai was taken aback. His home was relatively close, so he could go back soon. It would be better to take Furuhashi Fumino home with him.

"Huh!?"

"Varied……!?"

Fumino Furuhashi suddenly realized what was happening. She had been in a daze, but instantly snapped out of it. To actually have Dongfang Bai escort her... this feeling...

Akiyama Mio was also taken aback. How did it suddenly become Dongfang Bai escorting Furuhashi Fumino home? Could it be that the two of them really have some kind of relationship?

"I'm fine, but what about the ancient bridge?"

Dongfang Bai looked at the ancient bridge beside her, and she immediately blushed and waved her hand, shaking her little head wildly like a rattle drum, but still had a forced smile on her face.

"No need, no need, my home is very close, I can go back by myself, no need to trouble Bai Jun..."

Fumino Furuhashi naturally refused. After observing the girls in the Light Music Club for the past few hours, she noticed that while the others didn't seem to have any particular feelings, Mio Akiyama's reaction was quite obvious.

As a girl, she has exceptional observational skills. She sensed that the other person had looked at Dongfang Bai several times and blushed from time to time. As a 'master of love,' even though she had never been in a relationship, she could see things very clearly.

This girl named Akiyama Mio most likely has feelings for Dongfang Bai. If she asks him to take her home now, wouldn't that make things...?

So Fumino Furuhashi shook her head frantically without hesitation, directly and 'kindly' refusing Dongfang Bai...

"Oh, I see. Then forget it."

Dongfang Bai nodded. He sensed that Fumino Furuhashi's smile was a little forced. Could it be that something special was going on? But it wasn't in his nature to pry into other people's secrets, so he didn't investigate further.

"call……"

Sitting in front, Akiyama Mio breathed a slight sigh of relief. When Dongfang Bai said he could go home with her on the way, she really thought there was something between them. She didn't expect to be rejected.

……

Dongfang Bai and his group arrived at Pingze Wei's house. Wei stood at the door and said goodbye to them.

"I'll be going now. Your homes are all in that direction, right?"

Dongfang Bai walked to the left, and he noticed that Akiyama Mio, Tainaka Ritsu, Furuhashi Fumino, and Kotobuki Tsumugi were all walking to the right...

I have to climb this super high Hero's Slope before I can get to my home.

"Okay, goodbye, Bai-kun~"

See you tomorrow!

Goodbye~

After the girls said goodbye to Dongfang Bai, everyone left, while Dongfang Bai walked alone on the left-hand road.

4.8 The sky had darkened, and Dongfang Bai was walking alone on the road. The streetlights flickered as if there was a power shortage. A cool breeze blew on his face, making his spine tingle.

In a horror movie, Dongfang Bai would encounter some kind of demons or monsters at this point.

But this is reality after all. Although there are dragons, angels, demons, and even fairies, it's unlikely that you'd actually run into one, right?

"Ok?"

Dongfang Bai seemed to sense a figure approaching him from ahead, as if the figure was walking step by step and then suddenly quickening its pace.

The figure walking towards him looked incredibly familiar; he was someone he knew, and the way he was running clearly indicated that he was coming for him.

"benefit?"

Dongfang Bai was stunned when he saw Shenye Hui walking quickly towards him. It was already six or seven in the afternoon, so why was she suddenly wandering around outside and he was able to run into her?

"elder brother……!?"

Megumi Kanno's expression seemed a little unpleasant, but she was quite surprised when she saw Dongfang Bai, not expecting to meet such an unexpected person at this time and place.

Why are you still out so late?

Dongfang Bai looked at Shenye Hui in surprise. It was already quite late, and she was just a teenager wandering around outside alone. What was she doing?

Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger?

"Ah...it's all your fault, brother."

Megumi Kanno's expression turned quite uncomfortable, and she looked at Dongfang Bai with extremely resentful eyes. Her appearance was quite funny. Although Dongfang Bai knew that it was not good to laugh at this time, he still laughed out loud.

"He's still laughing!"

Shenye Hui's previous cheerful demeanor was completely different because she had been suffering terribly lately and couldn't bear it at all, all because of what Dongfang Bai had done to her.

"04 It's all because of you, brother, that I've become so strange!"

"Don't talk nonsense like that, it's a huge misunderstanding."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. He couldn't say such things carelessly. If someone heard him, they might think he had done something to her, and if he was misunderstood, it would be a big problem.

"It was the bookstore where you took me to read light novels before..."

"What? It's not called disgusting otaku novels anymore?"

Dongfang Bai gave her a teasing look. Shenye Hui blushed and lowered her head, unable to say anything for a long time. In the end, she could only stomp her foot in anger.

"In short! All the books I bought broke at the most crucial point! It's outrageous!!!"

"what……"

Dongfang Bai looked as if she had just realized something. The light novels that Takasago Chie recommended to her were indeed deliberately chosen ones that were very well written, but they all happened to be at the crucial point.

"What happened next?! Why is there no follow-up?!"

Megumi Kanno had a resentful expression on her face. She had been spending all her free time reading light novels in her room lately because Chie Takasago had recommended so many books to her, and she hadn't finished reading them all in a long time.

However, because there were so many books, and each one broke right at the crucial point, she had no choice but to move on to the next one, only to have it break at the same crucial point...

This feeling is so unbearable, like a cat's paw scratching at my heart, it's unbearable.

"As for the sequel, the author hasn't written it yet, so there isn't one."

Dongfang Bai waved his hand, because he was also a light novel author and naturally knew that the sequel couldn't be rushed. Besides, Japanese light novel authors were masters of delaying their work, sometimes taking a long time to complete a sequel.

"Hurry up and write it down! What are they doing all that time every day?! Write it down now!"

Megumi Kanno is now completely immersed in light novel culture. Light novels are really interesting; it's as if she has opened the door to a new world, with many novel stories unfolding before her eyes.

She finally understood just how despicable it was for an author to delay updating.

"And what about the author of 'Fate'? He used to update so frequently, why hasn't he posted anything this month? What is he doing?!"

As Kanno Megumi grew angrier, she stood on the road and started ranting about the light novels she had read, while Dongfang Bai in front of her just smiled and said nothing.

Just kidding. I've already written three volumes, so adapting one or two episodes into an anime shouldn't be a problem. There's no need to rush to update anymore, so I can just slack off for a while.

"I think they must be busy with something."

Dongfang Bai was blatantly lying, and after rambling on with Shenye Hui for a while, he suddenly realized that the other party hadn't answered his question: why was he still wandering around here at this hour...
