She felt that a large part of the reason this easygoing boy was willing to help was because she was about to cry at the time.

And that was indeed the case; a major reason why Ye Ziye took the initiative to help was that he saw Fujiwara Chika was about to cry.

But back then, Fujiwara Chika was genuinely anxious to come out, unlike now.

Ye Ziye didn't know if he was a fool in Fujiwara Chika's eyes. He felt that even if he was bad, he could still be considered a normal person.

He might not be able to tell if a professional actor is faking their tears, but Fujiwara Chika's was just too obvious.

At this moment, one of her eyes was tightly closed, trying hard to squeeze out tears, while the other eye was wide open, looking at Ye Ziye with a tentative and expectant gaze.

Although she looked a bit strange, Ye Ziye felt that Fujiwara Chika had the talent to be an actress, as she could make two different expressions at the same time, which was something that ordinary people could not do.

Touching his face, Ye Ziye felt that he didn't look too dull, and he even had a scholarly air about him, probably because of his glasses, but he didn't plan to take them off.

Kaguya Shinomiya stood to the side, helplessly rubbing her forehead; she could hardly bear to look at it.

At times, Kaguya Shinomiya would selflessly want to share her wisdom with Chika Fujiwara, but given current technology, this is probably not an achievable goal.

Seeing that Ye Ziye remained silent, Fujiwara Chika was also somewhat puzzled; she was almost at the point of being unable to cry anymore.

"Ye Zi, can I play a game with you?"

"I'm not playing!"

To avoid being treated like a fool, Ye Ziye decisively refused, which startled Fujiwara Chika, and her aggrieved expression vanished.

"why?"

"I don't want to play the game anymore because it's so boring."

Without any intention of lying, Ye Ziye said something that was extremely hurtful to a girl, but he felt no guilt whatsoever because the girl opposite him was Fujiwara Chika.

"Please, Ye Zi, just this one last time!"

"No."

Fujiwara Chika's unusual plea made Ye Ziye even more wary; he was convinced that this girl would do something shady.

"How could this happen!"

With a huff, Fujiwara Chika felt that the delicious bento box was no longer enough to soothe her mood, because all her efforts were going to be in vain.

She still refused to give up, moved closer to Ye Ziye, and tentatively said something.

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors? If I win, you'll play with me; if I lose, then forget it!"

"it is good."

Without much hesitation, under the surprised gaze of Fujiwara Chika, Ye Ziye agreed to the request, since he wasn't going to lose anyway.

Of all his skills, his greatest strength is gaming. Although his level isn't the highest, his expertise covers the widest range and even includes sophisticated concepts like probability.

Rock-paper-scissors is all about luck, but the skill of playing games can improve something as intangible as luck.

They say fools have good luck, and Fujiwara Chika seems to be quite lucky, but she definitely can't compare to him.

"Ye Zi, I didn't expect you to agree. It seems you're definitely going to play games with me today!"

Fujiwara Chika grinned at Ye Ziye like a bully trying to take advantage of a respectable woman, her eyes full of confidence. She hadn't lost much of her rock-paper-scissors game with Shinomiya Kaguya!

Ye Ziye didn't care at all. He silently stretched out his hand, wanting to feel that he had to win this game so he could go back to class.

Chapter 219

Ten minutes later...

Ye Ziye left the student council classroom with her backpack on and a normal expression. Class was about to start, and getting back to her class was the most important thing.

As for the rock-paper-scissors game with Fujiwara Chika, the outcome had already been decided long ago, and the result was obvious.

Ye Ziye won all the matches. They had originally agreed to settle the score in one game, but Fujiwara Chika suddenly changed her mind and wanted to play several more games.

Of course, Ye Ziye didn't care. In any case, he couldn't lose. He was grateful for the game skills that allowed him to be spared torture this afternoon.

However, Fujiwara Chika still managed to get Yoko to agree to one condition: that the entire student council would go out together on Sunday.

Ye Ziye wanted to refuse, but both girls had already agreed, so his opinion was completely ignored, and his Sunday was occupied once again.

He sighed softly, feeling that today was really unlucky. First, Ms. Kato ignored him, and now his precious weekend was inexplicably taken over.

Ye Ziye doesn't really care about going out to play, as long as it doesn't interfere with his sleeping in. However, going out with Fujiwara Chika is a big problem.

Ye Ziye had a bad feeling; he was worried that the girl would cause some trouble, but since he had already agreed, there was nothing he could do.

There was no physical education class on Tuesday afternoon, so Ye Ziye returned to the classroom.

A small number of students were chatting, a small number were sleeping, while Ms. Kato was reading a novel, the same one she loved: "Looking Up at the Half-Moon in the Sky."

Seemingly sensing someone entering, Kato Megumi slightly raised her head, then lowered it again, ignoring Ye Ziye.

Ye Ziye knew that Kato Megumi was in a tantrum and it was normal for her to ignore him, so he didn't care and went back to his seat.

He'll probably calm down by tomorrow. In his opinion, sleep can cure most of the depression caused by mood, at least that's how he sees it.

After glancing at Kato Megumi a few more times, Ye Ziye looked away because the more he looked at him, the more guilty he felt, as if he had really done something wrong, even though he hadn't done anything at all.

Ms. Kato's silence made the afternoon boring, so Ye Ziye chose to spend it sleeping. As the top student, the teacher naturally didn't say anything, and he slept until school was over.

Normally, he would have been woken up by Ms. Kato's gentle voice, but today he slept until he naturally woke up, and only the students on duty remained in the classroom.

Some went home, and some joined clubs.

Looking at Ms. Kato's empty table and chairs, Ye Ziye shook his head. It seemed that the girl was really depressed. If this was the case, it would probably last for three to five days.

Sighing, Ye Ziye felt a pang of regret. She should have known better than to be so honest. But it was too late to dwell on it now; the deed was done.

After packing his bag, he prepared to head to the pet cafe. He had tasted the benefits yesterday, and going directly to work was indeed more convenient and would prevent him from being late.

Because he went to the student council at noon today, he doesn't need to go in the afternoon. He might set a record for being the first to arrive at the store.

Although he was asked strange questions by Nakamura Nanami last night, he didn't feel embarrassed because he gave a good answer that would encourage the girl to move forward.

Ye Ziye boarded the tram and headed towards the pet cafe, figuring he'd be the first one there.

And that was indeed the case. (bceb) was the first one there, without attending the student council meeting or going home to change his clothes. But being the first one had its downsides, namely that no one opened the door for him.

The key is in Nami Kudo's hands; if this woman doesn't come, then no one can get in.

Ye Ziye felt a little regretful. Sometimes, being a good employee isn't so easy.

Since Ye Ziye's coffee skills have improved, Kudo Nami has closed the shop during the daytime hours from Monday to Friday, fearing that another barista would affect the shop's reputation.

Even so, the nightly turnover is astonishingly high, and the restaurant is packed with customers every day.

That's why Kudo Nami became complacent. As the boss, her desire to make money was surprisingly small, at least that's what Ye Ziye thought.

"Hey? Ye Zi-kun, why are you here so early?"

Just as Ye Ziye was lost in thought, a familiar voice rang in her ears. Kudo Nami stood there, holding the cafe's key, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I'll definitely be late next time..."

This was a thought I was internally complaining about. Although Kudo Nami, the store manager, was useless, she still deserved some respect.

"There are no school events today, so I came a little early."

"I see... I wish you came this early every day."

Ye Ziye suppressed the urge to complain and followed Kudo Nami into the pet cafe.

This was Ye Ziye's first time appearing at a pet cafe without Nakamura Nana, and she felt a little out of place.

When is Nakamura coming?

"Based on past practice, it shouldn't take long."

The two exchanged questions and answers. As soon as they entered the pet cafe, Kudo Nami began pouring cat food into the empty bowl, though her expression showed some hesitation.

"Ye Zi-kun, I hope you won't take what happened yesterday too seriously. Just let the pet cafe stay the same as before. You know Nan Ning-chan didn't mean any harm."

"I know."

Ye Ziye knew that Kudo Nami was referring to the confession incident from the previous night. Because it wasn't the first time it had happened, the woman was especially terrified.

Although she is an adult, Nami Kudo is just like any other girl, and she cares a lot about the atmosphere.

For Nami Kudo, the pet cafe is like Yukino Yukinoshita to the Service Club, or Kaguya Shinomiya to the Student Council—it's an extremely important place to her, and she doesn't want anything bad to happen.

This time, however, her worries were unnecessary. Ye Ziye wouldn't care in the slightest, and neither would Nakamura Nanami. The pet cafe would continue as before.

It's just that girls tend to work harder, while boys tend to be more laid-back.

Chapter 220

June 22nd, cloudy, another day of being forced to get out of bed.

The weekend is definitely the most meaningful day ever created by humankind. It allows us to rest after a week of hard work and to reflect on all the achievements of the week.

Regardless of what others think, this is Ye Ziye's opinion. However, in this world, there are always those who defy fate and choose to go out and wander around instead of resting on their days off.

Most of those who defy fate are girls, like ~Fujiwara Chika.

Ye Ziye felt a little regretful, regretting that she hadn't stuck to her own principles, which led to her not sleeping well again today. There was no other reason, it was just that the meeting time was a bit too early.

At nine o'clock in the morning, he would not have gotten up by this time on a typical weekend.

Struggling to sit up, Ye Ziye was stunned for a moment before collapsing back onto the bed. At that moment, he wished he were in a vegetative state so he could lie in bed all day.

The most painful thing for a human being is being woken up by troublesome things, and Ye Ziye is experiencing this kind of pain right now.

Ye Ziye tried to doze off in bed for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Fujiwara Chika's smiling and cute face would involuntarily appear in his mind, as if urging him to hurry up and get to the assembly point.

After struggling in bed for a while, Ye Ziye finally got up. It was eight o'clock in the morning, an hour before the meeting time.

However, he was not in a hurry at all, because the meeting point was the shopping mall next door. Ye Ziye felt that moving here was an absolutely correct decision, at least it saved a lot of travel time.

After spreading out the blankets, Ye Ziye yawned as she went to the living room to make breakfast, so she could be full of energy to face Fujiwara Chika's torment.

"Good morning, Yezi!"

In the living room, Artoria sat on the sofa, dressed neatly. She was going with them today because Ye Ziye was worried that she wouldn't be back by noon and the girl would go hungry.

More importantly, bringing Altria along can minimize the chances of accidents happening.

"Good morning... Wait a minute, let me wash up and then cook."

Stretching, Ye Ziye went into the kitchen. She would just make something simple this morning; she didn't have any ingredients for anything too complicated, and this trip was a good opportunity to go shopping.
