Ye Ziye didn't care and focused on looking out the window at the scenery that wasn't really a view. He hadn't quite come to his senses yet because of what Ms. Kato had said earlier.

Compared to when we first met, this girl has changed a lot; perhaps she's become more cheerful, or perhaps she has a better relationship with him.

He didn't dislike Ms. Kato; outgoing girls are always more attractive, and that's an eternal truth.

Time passed slowly, and the morning seemed to fly by under the warm sunshine. Of course, this was only for Ye Ziye; for the other students, it was still a difficult morning.

It's Monday, after all. Monday mornings are never a pleasant day, whether for students or working professionals. They're always the hardest time to get through.

But Monday mornings are only tough; by lunchtime, the busy feeling usually returns.

The final bell rang slowly. Teachers in island nations never have the habit of going overtime. They put away their textbooks and walked directly off the podium.

The students in the class also got involved, putting their desks together and forming their own small groups.

Ye Ziye calmly observed each day's routine, and a strange thought couldn't help but arise in her mind: "Humans are so stupid."

At that moment, he was wondering whether he should eat his lunch in the classroom now, or deliver the lunches to the two girls in the student council first.

If it were a delivery, he would definitely have eaten at the student union, otherwise it would be a waste of time to go back and forth.

Looking at Ms. Kato, who was opening her own bento box beside her, Ye Ziye decisively gave up on the second option.

Going to the student council to be tormented by Fujiwara Chika is definitely not as good as eating next to Ms. Kato.

As usual, Ms. Kato's bento box contained exquisite little items, while Yoko's bento box was less refined and less elaborately arranged, but it looked incredibly delicious.

Ms. Kato didn't stand on ceremony. She looked at Ye Ziye's bento box, then at her own, and decisively chose to switch the two.

Instead of just grabbing a few pieces and leaving as before.

Ye Ziye had no objection to this. It was much better than before. At least now he had a complete bento box in front of him, instead of an incomplete one.

...

As a chef, he is not picky about what kind of food he eats, which might make the pampered Artoria, who is spoiled by him, feel uncomfortable.

If he doesn't like the food, he'll cook it for himself when he gets home.

Moreover, Ye Ziye had a lot of faith in Ms. Kato's cooking skills. Most importantly, the roles were now reversed, and he could take food from her lunchbox, which was a novel experience.

Ms. Kato skillfully used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, then said...

"Summer vacation is almost here, I wonder when I'll be able to eat your bento again..."

When she said this, Kato Megumi was not sentimental; she calmly stated a fact, as if she had returned to the person she used to be.

"If you want to eat it, you can come to my house anytime, and I will cook it for you."

After stuffing the sushi into his mouth, Ye Ziye came up with a compromise: it was just an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl at home, so it didn't really matter.

After all, Artoria eats so much every day, Ye Ziye is already used to cooking for multiple people.

"I will definitely go."

Seemingly having received the answer she wanted, Ms. Kato nodded in satisfaction, a glint of light shining deep within her eyes, lost in thought.

Ye Ziye nodded, not giving it much thought.

I just think it would be nice to see Ms. Kato during the summer vacation.

Chapter 241

The pleasant lunch time passed quickly. Ye Ziye ate only half full today. Kato Megumi's bento box was too small and exquisite, and it seemed a bit too little for him.

It's not a big deal, though, much better than before. But I'll probably have to make more bento boxes in the future.

"Kato, I'm leaving."

With her backpack on, Ye Ziye got up; she was going to deliver lunchboxes to the two girls in the student council.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara both received his permission yesterday, so they probably haven't prepared lunchboxes yet and are waiting for him to deliver something to them.

Ye Ziye regretted it a little. She had agreed too easily yesterday, and now running back and forth was really troublesome.

However, there are some advantages. If you go to the student council at noon today, you won't need to go again in the evening.

Artoria didn't ride her bicycle today because of a stomachache, so I could take her home.

"Shall we go to the Service Department?"

After putting away Ye Ziye's lunchbox, Kato Megumi casually remarked that she had roughly figured out the boy's movements.

It's quite an incredible thing that someone could watch someone's regular activities for an entire semester. Kato Megumi herself didn't think she could do it, but if that person was Yoko Yoru, it wouldn't be so surprising.

Ye Ziye was dazzling; to most people who were as dull as dust, he was a firefly radiating a soft glow.

Such a person is quite strange. Even Ye Ziye found it a bit strange to those who didn't know him, but Kato Megumi didn't find it strange at all.

"No, I'm going to the student council to deliver something to Shinomiya and Secretary Fujiwara."

Kato Megumi paused in packing up the lunchbox, then resumed her normal actions.

It wasn't because Ye Ziye was going to the student council; Kato Megumi had long been used to this person interacting with so many girls over the years.

She was simply wondering why Ye Ziye's actions had suddenly changed; she was always very curious about such things.

Seeing Kato's expression, Ye Ziye understood and explained what had happened on Sunday. There was nothing wrong with talking about such things.

Kato Megumi remained calm upon hearing this, nodding slightly with an expression of understanding in her eyes.

"Ye Zi, can we go out and play together during summer vacation?"

For some reason, looking at Ye Ziye's face, Kato Megumi said this.

"sure."

Without much hesitation, Ye Ziye agreed, even though she disliked the scorching summer sun and even more so, she disliked being in crowded places.

It depends on who he's with. If it's Yukino Yukinoshita's request, he'll accept it without hesitation in the summer. If Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara need help, he'll also agree without hesitation.

Similarly, Ms. Kato has no problem going out with him.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true that the two of them haven't gone out together in a long time. It's not bad to be alone with Ms. Kato after so long.

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Kato Megumi smiled and nodded her head vigorously, her shoulder-length hair swaying as she looked as beautiful as a mountain fairy.

Ye Ziye's gaze was somewhat unfocused. Kato Megumi's short hair, like Artoria's ahoge, was very attractive to him.

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Ye Ziye did not linger in the classroom. He turned and left, as his most important task now was to deliver food to the student council. He was a person who valued promises very much.

Under Kato Megumi's watchful gaze, Ye Ziye walked out of the classroom. The outside environment was no longer as quiet as when she was being punished to stand; the corridor was full of people.

Most of the time, it's boys and girls standing together, doing all sorts of meaningless things, but both of them seem happy.

Ye Ziye left quickly. He liked the innocent feelings of first love, but witnessing them firsthand would only make him feel uncomfortable.

He considers himself a mature person.

Walking leisurely down the familiar corridor, Ye Ziye arrived at the student council's entrance. The moment he stepped out of the classroom, he was no longer in a hurry, for he had already fulfilled his promise—he was there to deliver food...

Having been accustomed to the Service Club, Ye Ziye still knocked on the door of the Student Council as usual before pushing it open and going in.

The student council building was still bathed in sunshine; its lighting was probably among the best in the entire academy.

Kaguya Shinomiya sat in her student council president's seat, her bright red ribbon particularly eye-catching, but it couldn't hide her delicate and pretty face.

This girl is a strikingly beautiful young woman, like a marble sculpture, but not in the harsh, stone-like way. Rather, she possesses the exquisite beauty of a craftsman sculpting a thin veil and rounded flesh from stone.

Kaguya Shinomiya truly lives up to her reputation as a beautiful girl on par with Yukino Yukinoshita; she's so beautiful she's almost like a yokai.

The student council was unusually quiet today, so quiet that the sound of Ye Ziye opening the door could be heard echoing for a long time.

Ye Ziye liked this kind of environment. He never thought that the quietness of the environment was terrible. In his mind, quietness always represented tranquility.

The reason he liked the Service Department was because it was very quiet in that little house. The people inside would do what they were supposed to do and make the least of their noise, while there was no living being outside the door.

The current student council is like a replica of the Service Club, but it's unclear how long this quiet environment can last.

Fujiwara Chika lay on the table, her soft face pressed tightly against it. It didn't look strange at all; it just made her look cute.

If this girl didn't speak, she would be a beautiful girl no less stunning than Kaguya Shinomiya, and in some ways even surpass her.

Both girls heard Ye Ziye open the door and looked up at the same time. Shinomiya Kaguya still had the same expression; this girl always appeared very calm.

As for Fujiwara Chika, she had an expression as if she had seen a savior, and she didn't care about the marks left by the table on one side of her face.

She could go without eating all noon while waiting for Ye Ziye's lunchbox, so how could she not be happy now that it's finally here?

Chapter 242

"Ye Zi, you're finally here!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly stood up from the sofa, clutching her flat stomach with a somewhat aggrieved look on her face. She had been hungry for a long time and had been waiting for this bento box.

Seeing Fujiwara Chika approaching, Ye Ziye subtly stepped aside, deftly avoiding the girl, and walked towards the sofa.

He at least knew what Fujiwara Chika's purpose was; this girl was quite unconventional, and Ye Ziye didn't want to suffer another soft attack.

Although it felt good, it made him uneasy, and he didn't like that feeling.

"I brought lunchboxes, you two should come and eat."

After saying that, Ye Ziye placed the two pink lunch boxes on the table and sat quietly on the sofa, pondering whether he should go to the Service Club today.

If I go to the Service Club after packing up my lunchbox, it will take a lot of time, so I guess I can forget about taking a nap today.

Because she had to give Kato Megumi a gift, Yoko woke up very early today, not even at her usual bedtime.

I originally planned to come over for a nap at noon, but I forgot that I also had to deliver lunch boxes to the two girls.

Now that everything has come to mind, things have piled up, making the already limited time even more crowded.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ziye decided to go to the Service Club later. He had promised Yukino Yukinoshita that he would do this, and fulfilling that promise was in line with his code of conduct.

As for catching up on sleep, he'll do it during afternoon classes. Anyway, the teacher won't mind, and he's happy to occasionally use his privilege as a good student.

The two girls had already sat down next to Ye Ziye. Shinomiya Kaguya remained elegant, while Fujiwara Chika sat cutely in a row, completely oblivious to what had just happened.

Perhaps she had gotten used to being bullied by Ye Ziye, and now eating was the most important thing.

Ever since having lunch at Ye Ziye's house, Fujiwara Chika has been eagerly anticipating her lunch today, and she even skipped breakfast.
