She picked up the teapot, walked over to Ye Ziye, bent down, and poured a cup of black tea.

Ye Ziye sat on the sofa, watching Fujiwara Chika's service, and a sense of satisfaction suddenly welled up in his heart. He suddenly felt that playing games wasn't so bad after all, and he would control the frequency to once or twice a week from now on!

After pouring the black tea, Fujiwara Chika reluctantly got up. This punishment was quite simple, and she wasn't a girl who cared much. Pouring a cup of black tea was nothing to her.

She just felt that she lost somewhat inexplicably. Ye Ziye was too good at talking, making her involuntarily feel that she was wrong.

Fujiwara Chika knew that her abilities as a player had limits, and she was no match for Ye Ziye, so she decided...

She's quitting the competition!

"Kaguya-san, I think it's better if I continue to be the referee and you become the player!"

Kaguya Shinomiya was taken aback. She had originally wanted to continue observing, but since Chika Fujiwara wanted to switch back, she had no objection.

Ye Ziye sighed, feeling a little regretful. The fair referee was gone, and he was about to be subjected to unfair treatment again.

Chapter 208

In June, a season that was already starting to get hot, the afternoon temperature was just right. On the spacious campus, many young boys and girls walked together.

He tentatively extended his finger toward the other person, but dared not touch them casually. He was anxious, but also very careful.

Teenage boys and girls often have all sorts of sensitive thoughts, afraid that their little actions will affect the relationship between the two of them, and they have already exhausted all their courage just to ask the other out.

However, in this youthful and innocent campus, perhaps this is the normal thing to do.

In contrast, the three members of the student council did not do what teenagers should do; instead, they stayed in the classroom playing some inexplicable games.

"Secretary Fujiwara, shall we continue?"

As the sun set and the evening glow painted half the sky red, Ye Ziye grew impatient. The game had already gone through several rounds, and he had lost his initial interest.

The main reason is that everything that was asked of Fujiwara Chika has been done, so there's nothing left to ask for now.

However, Fujiwara Chika seemed to be getting more and more addicted to the game. After so many rounds, the girl returned to being a player, but she still hadn't beaten Ye Ziye even once.

However, when Ye Ziye was the referee, Fujiwara Chika did manage to beat Shinomiya Kaguya once, which made the girl happy for quite a while.

However, Fujiwara Chika's request was rather strange: she wanted Shinomiya Kaguya to give her a hug.

As the referee, Ye Ziye observed the whole situation and noticed that Fujiwara Chika's cute face blushed slightly when she was hugged, which puzzled him.

However, he didn't mind, as he was aware of Fujiwara Chika's affection for Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Of course we'll continue! I'll definitely beat you!"

Despite her repeated failures, Fujiwara Chika was still unconvinced and felt somewhat regretful. She wished she had chosen a different game, as cheating was impossible in this one.

But now that things have come to this, she won't be satisfied until she defeats Ye Ziye!

Ye Ziye couldn't understand why Fujiwara Chika was so determined to beat him. This girl had a strange competitive streak, whether it was her ranking on the school romance leaderboard or this game.

"Can I admit defeat?"

Ye Ziye sighed helplessly. He was already late for work. In the end, he hadn't expected the game to last so long.

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika considered it for a moment, then firmly shook her head.

If she concedes defeat, then her victory will have little meaning.

Ye Ziye was speechless. He hadn't expected Fujiwara Chika to be so principled in this regard, but this principle came at a really bad time.

Although he had already asked Kudo Nami for leave, he still wanted to go to the pet cafe as soon as possible to teach his cute little apprentice.

"Fujiwara-san, Yoko has to go to her part-time job, so let's call it a day for today's game."

Even though Kaguya Shinomiya, who had returned to be the referee, managed to clear the way, her expression was somewhat serious, and she had lost interest in the game.

She had originally intended to learn more about Ye Ziye through this, but she hadn't learned anything. She couldn't fathom the boy's thoughts; this was the first time she'd ever done so.

Kaguya Shinomiya once studied people's facial expressions in detail and could guess a person's general thoughts from their expressions.

However, Ye Ziye's expression remained indifferent, as if he had no emotions, whether he won or lost.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized that in all this time, she had never seen Ye Ziye show any expression, and the occasional smiles he gave were not directed at her, which was why she couldn't guess what was going on.

Kaguya Shinomiya thought that perhaps only when someone had an extremely good relationship with Ye Ziye would the boy show a different expression.

She was about to change her strategy. In fact, Kaguya Shinomiya didn't dislike Yoko, and she didn't object to him being her boyfriend.

Because this girl doesn't understand what liking someone means at all; being together is just about being compatible.

From childhood to adulthood, no man has ever been better than her in any aspect, but Ye Ziye has done it. Whether it is her learning ability or her ability to adapt to changing situations, Shinomiya Kaguya is ashamed of herself.

That's why Kaguya Shinomiya wasn't too opposed to it; she thought Ye Ziye was alright, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to raise this boy to be someone worthy of her.

Fujiwara Chika was unaware of what Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking; she was currently hesitating.

"Kaguya-san, but we haven't decided a winner yet..."

She wasn't one to force others, but she couldn't swallow her pride until a winner was decided. Fujiwara Chika had her dignity too, and she had never lost a game like this before.

"The students won't disband. Let's continue playing this game tomorrow. Yoko won't run away either. Fujiwara-kun, please stop being so willful."

Kaguya Shinomiya displayed the decisiveness expected of a student council president, closing the notebook containing questions from Chika Fujiwara.

Fujiwara Chika pursed her lips, then nodded.

"Then... Yezi, you go get a job. You must settle your score with me tomorrow!"

Seeing that Fujiwara Chika had compromised, Ye Ziye breathed a sigh of relief, gave Shinomiya Kaguya a thank-you look, and then left the student council classroom.

He chose to ignore Fujiwara Chika's request, which was somewhat cruel, but he really didn't want to play this game anymore.

It was quite interesting at first, but it got more and more boring as it went on, and he also had to deal with Fujiwara Chika, which he really couldn't handle.

Ye Ziye decided that she must be more careful when playing games with Fujiwara Chika in the future, otherwise she might end up like this again.

However, it felt good to see Fujiwara Chika doing this and that for me; there was a strange sense of satisfaction in it.

Savoring that feeling, Ye Ziye walked out of Shuchiin Academy. Today was a day of contradictions.

I learned about the strange rumors, played a strange game with Fujiwara Chika, and overheard the inexplicable conversation between Yukinoshita and Kato.

But today wasn't all bad; at least I witnessed just how beautiful Ms. Kato is, and so is Ms. Yukinoshita.

Chapter 209

Because he was already late, Ye Ziye didn't go home this time. Instead, he went to the pet cafe in his school uniform. Although he had special privileges, it was better to keep a low profile.

The café was already partially occupied. Nakamura Nanami was working as a barista, while Kudo Nami had no choice but to work as a waitress.

Seeing this, Ye Ziye was also a little puzzled. This woman had clearly said that she would recruit new employees, but after so long, there was no sign of a new person. He wondered how this store manager had become a manager.

"welcome!"

Hearing the door open, Kudo Nami greeted him warmly, making Ye Ziye suddenly realize that this woman had the potential to become a waitress.

"Manager, it's me."

The familiar voice rang in her ears, and the enthusiastic smile on Kudo Nami's face vanished instantly, her bent back straightening up.

"I thought you weren't coming."

"I only said I would be late, I didn't say I was taking leave."

Having experienced this many times, Ye Ziye simply ignored Kudo Nami's little temper this time. This woman was always like this, and he couldn't figure her out.

Seeing that Nakamura Nanami was making coffee, Ye Ziye went to the staff break room, put on an apron, and walked to the bar.

"Nakamura, you did a good job."

Looking at Nakamura Nanami's serious expression, Ye Ziye nodded in satisfaction. This girl was starting to look like a barista.

This was the first time he had seen Nakamura Nanami on duty for him, and he looked pretty good.

"Master, you've arrived."

Because he was focused on making coffee, Nakamura Nanami hadn't noticed Ye Ziye, and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

Then, realizing what was happening, she tried to leave the bar to make room for Ye Ziye.

"No need, you can stay here today. I'll take over your work. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

As the master, Ye Ziye felt it was necessary to observe his apprentice's condition, and Nakamura Nanning also needed to show himself when he was present, so he couldn't be so insecure.

"Huh? But Master, you're already here... It's not really appropriate for me to stay here any longer..."

Nakamura Nanami is an extremely traditional island girl. In her mind, her master must be worthy of respect, and as his apprentice, she cannot feel any joy.

Although she, as the apprentice, had inappropriate thoughts about her master, it did not diminish her respect for him.

"It's okay, you're fine here. You can't be a waiter forever. Sooner or later this position will be yours, and I also want to see how you perform."

"But..."

"No buts. I just glanced at you, and you're in good spirits. Don't let me ruin that. Tonight, you'll be the barista at the pet cafe."

Ye Ziye gently patted Nakamura Nanami's head, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Nakamura Nanai needs such an opportunity, and this girl is also very ambitious. Although her skill level is not high enough for Ye Ziye, she would definitely be a top-notch barista if she went to another coffee shop.

Nakamura Nanami's face turned red as Ye Ziye ruffled her hair, but she still looked encouraged and proud. All her hard work over the long term had paid off, and she was sure she would be very happy.

"Then, sir, you can just stay here and watch. I can do the waiter's work too!"

Nakamura Nanami patted her chest, her cute little face full of seriousness. She really meant it, and after being praised, she felt full of energy.

Ye Ziye smiled helplessly. Nakamura Nanning was a bit too naive. She was overjoyed by a small compliment and didn't care about anything else.

She took on all the work without caring about how tired she was. Such an innocent and lovely girl is rare in the world.

Nakamura Nannei is actually a little similar to Fujiwara Chika, except that her thought process is a bit more normal.

"No, I'm a waiter today. I've been in the pet cafe for so long, I want to try something new too, maybe as a way to find material for my novel."

"But..."

Nakamura Nanning still had something to say, but Ye Ziye interrupted him directly.

"There's no need to say anything more. Your task now is to make coffee. This is my order as your master, and there are customers waiting."

"Oh well..."

With constant encouragement, Nakamura Nanning finally realized the responsibility he should fulfill as an apprentice and began to focus on making coffee, though he was a little nervous because Yoko Yoru was watching from the side.

Although Ye Ziye appears calm and gentle on the surface, she is actually quite strict in this regard. Nakamura Nanning has been told this before, and she is still shocked when she thinks about it now.
