Artoria was naturally very happy to have broken the record today, and she quickly forgot about the unpleasant things, wanting to treat her taste buds.

As for Ye Ziye and the system, she decided to investigate them tomorrow.

Shinomiya Family Residence

This is the heart of Tokyo, where land is incredibly valuable, yet the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, one of the four major zaibatsu groups, still bought a large plot of land here as their residence.

In the dimly lit room, Kaguya Shinomiya flipped through Ye Ziye's file again and again, but ultimately found no clues.

"Miss Kaguya, may I ask why you are so interested in this person named Ye Ziye?"

Seeing her young mistress's worried face, Hayasaka Ai, who had been standing behind her, finally couldn't help but speak up. It was the first time she had ever seen Kaguya Shinomiya like this.

"It's nothing... he just recently joined the student council, so I wanted to learn more about him..."

Kaguya Shinomiya sighed and didn't say anything about the system, because the system had a strict rule that it couldn't be revealed to other people.

Hayasaka Ai didn't ask any more questions. She had grown up with Kaguya Shinomiya and knew that if her young lady wanted to talk, she would do so on her own. If she didn't want to talk, no amount of asking would help.

Just like this morning, when she asked Kaguya Shinomiya where she had gone last night, she received an ambiguous answer.

Looking at the photo of Ye Ziye on the table, Hayasaka Ai suddenly had an idea.

"Could it be that Lady Kaguya is in love?"

She felt it wasn't impossible. Although Kaguya Shinomiya had a cold personality, who could truly understand a teenage girl?

Chapter 29

April 23rd, overcast and rainy.

The rainy season in the island nation is getting closer, and a light drizzle has started to fall. Because of the humidity, Ye Ziye got up very early today.

His rented room was not luxurious, and was even somewhat shabby. On a rainy day like this, the room was very damp, and mold had already begun to grow on the walls.

In this island nation with its frequent rainy season, moldy rental rooms are countless, and college students who choose to live in moldy rooms are even more numerous.

Ye Ziye put Garfield, who was sleeping on her, down to the ground and frowned as she looked at the mold on the wall.

He had anticipated this would happen and had bought mold remover beforehand, but it seems to be ineffective so far.

Ye Ziye is someone who can endure hardship, but the stench of the moldy walls is simply unbearable.

"Do you want to move to a new house?"

His income is not low, and the reason he is saving now is to pay for next year's tuition. Ye Ziye is ambitious. He wants to finish these three years of high school and then get into Dongda University.

Although the University of Tokyo is quite difficult to get into, you still have to have dreams.

However, given the current situation, it's time to consider spending some of the money he's saved. But moving to a new house is still a very troublesome matter, not only because he has Garfield with him, but also because of this sick society.

If he wants to move to a better place, he definitely can't afford to pay rent alone, so he will definitely find someone to share the apartment with.

In the current situation, girls feel insecure and want to find female roommates, while boys daydream about finding female roommates as well. In short, boys are at a disadvantage in this regard.

Furthermore, Ye Ziye also has a cat with her, which further reduces the options available.

As for Ye Ziye himself, he felt it didn't matter whether his roommate was male or female, as long as they were quiet and not too annoying. He went to school during the day and worked at night, so they wouldn't have much time to spend together.

With the idea of ​​moving to a new house on her mind, Ye Ziye thought she could take some time to look for options online.

Ultimately, it's because he doesn't have money. If he did, he could rent a big villa, have his own room, and let Garfield have his own room too. They wouldn't need a litter box; they could poop anywhere, and a nanny would clean up afterward.

But that wonderful life was still too far away. As a time traveler, Ye Ziye felt somewhat like a failure.

While others were thinking about how to rule the world, he was thinking about the necessities of life, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and cat food and canned fish for a cat.

Ye Ziye rubbed her hair, looking somewhat troubled.

"Want to write novels? It seems like that industry is quite lucrative in Japan, and he's read a lot of books, so writing would be easy for him."

However, he could not become a plagiarist. In this world, although some works from his previous life were not here, Ye Ziye did not remember them all.

He only remembered the gist of it; he couldn't explain the details, including the scenes and dialogues.

So if we're going to make him a plagiarist, he'll probably have to prepare for a long time, and what he lacks most right now is time. Rather than becoming a plagiarist, he'd be better off writing his own work.

That would be much more convenient and without any psychological pressure. He could become a plagiarist when he has enough time.

Of course, this is just an idea. He hasn't decided what genre to write about yet. Even if he does write something, he probably won't write about mainstream action-packed themes.

Ye Ziye felt that writing a story about a boy struggling to live in Tokyo and encountering various girls seemed closer to his real life.

Having a general idea in mind, Ye Ziye stopped thinking about it. Fortunately, Akiyama Hitomi was an editor, so she could just ask her later.

With a slight sigh, Ye Ziye lay on the bed and lifted the overweight Garfield up.

"When do you think we'll be able to live a good life?"

Garfield shook its head, not understanding what its owner meant. Perhaps it felt that its life was pretty good, eating a big bowl of cat food every day and occasionally getting a small fish.

"Forget it, there's no point in telling you. You're almost fatter than me, and your life is much better than mine."

Ye Ziye shook her head, realizing she was still a bit sleepy and had actually been discussing this topic with a cat.

After putting Garfield on the ground, Ye Ziye prepared to get up. There was a wall next to his bed, and the musty smell made him lose the desire to sleep.

Since he got up early today, he can prepare breakfast and lunch for himself.

Ye Ziye stretched on the bed, picked up the school uniform from the foot of the bed, and put it on. Although it was all black, it looked good on him.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ye Ziye remained expressionless. He hoped that today would be peaceful and that things would go according to his wishes. It would be even better if he could successfully leave the Service Department.

After making a silent wish, Ye Ziye began preparing her two meals, and also filled a bowl with cat food and milk for Garfield.

Because of the humid weather, the cat food was a bit damp, which displeased Garfield, who was a picky eater. Looking at the cat food in front of him, he seemed to be considering moving.

Ye Zi was already used to this. Garfield's face was too flat, so this was bound to happen if he wasn't fed with a spoon, and he would clean it up when he got back in the evening.

Chapter 30

After finishing breakfast, Ye Ziye rubbed Garfield's chubby face and then prepared to leave.

He got up really early today, so he thought he would still be the first person to arrive at school. Of course, competing for first or second place is of no use.

Ye Ziye isn't a child. She won't be happy if she wins first place, nor will she be upset if she loses it. It's just that when people are bored, they always try to find something to think about.

After boarding the train bound for Shuchiin Academy, Ye Ziye found a window seat. There weren't many people in the carriage; most of them were students who had arrived early.

Ye Ziye looked around to make sure no one she knew was there, then took a book out of her bag and started reading.

The book is called "Tsuki ga Kirei" (The Moon is Beautiful), a light novel. In her previous life, Ye Ziye had watched the anime adaptation, but reading the book and watching the anime are somewhat different.

It's like in his previous life, he could only watch Kamen Rider TV dramas online, but now that he's in Japan, he can read all kinds of official novels without having to bypass the Great Firewall. The difference is huge.

Moreover, he really liked this light novel; it had a subtle literary feel to it and depicted the innocent feelings between two junior high school students.

Ye Ziye really enjoys reading this type of novel; perhaps she just likes being fed dog food (romantic scenes).

He felt that this light novel could definitely be adapted into a TV series; if this youthful and innocent feeling were portrayed, it would surely be very moving.

Ye Ziye decided that if he heard any news at that time, he would apply for the job!

The tram continued to jolt, and the carriage became increasingly crowded. However, Ye Ziye occupied a corner seat, where no one could squeeze in. He was engrossed in reading a book in the excessively quiet carriage, completely absorbed in it.

He envied the innocent romance in the book and hoped that he could have such a relationship, but reality was cruel, and the girls around him were all strange people.

Just as he was feeling regretful, the tram arrived at its designated location. The people inside were very courteous; knowing that a student wanted to get off, they automatically made way for him.

However, they were still somewhat surprised that students wearing Shuchiin Academy uniforms were taking the tram to school, which was quite a rare sight.

Ignoring the strange looks from others, Ye Ziye got out of the car, and the air outside, washed clean by the rain, invigorated him.

Although it's damp and a bit uncomfortable inside, it feels better to be outside.

As he expected, there were very few people at school at this time, practically none, so he walked alone through the grand gate and arrived at Class 1B.

To his surprise, he wasn't the first one there today; the classroom was already occupied.

Good morning, Yezi.

Kato Megumi sat in her seat and greeted Ye Ziye, but her complexion was not very good, with very obvious dark circles under her eyes.

"What's wrong, Kato? Didn't you get enough rest?"

Back in his seat, Ye Ziye brought it up, and Kato Megumi nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I watched the Love Metronome last night and got to the exciting part. By the time I finished watching it, it was already three o'clock, so I didn't go to sleep and kept watching until this morning. I was planning to come to school and rest for a bit, but I couldn't fall asleep."

Is this your first time staying up all night?

"how do you know?"

Kato Megumi was somewhat surprised. It was indeed her first time staying up all night, and she felt it would be the last time because it was just too uncomfortable.

"You look so tired, it's obviously your first time. Don't worry, as long as you get through this morning, today will be much better."

"Ye Zi, do you often stay up late? You seem to have a lot of experience."

Kato Megumi was somewhat surprised. Although Ye Ziye didn't have much of an expression, he always seemed to have plenty of energy, which was quite unlike someone who often stayed up late.

"Yeah, there was a period of time before..."

Ye Ziye didn't go into details because that was in his previous life, and if he were to explain it in detail, he wouldn't know how to respond.

Kato Megumi was a very understanding girl. Seeing that Ye Ziye was unwilling to say more, she didn't ask any more questions. She rested her chin on her hand and forced herself to stay awake.

"By the way, I recommend this to you."

Seemingly remembering something, Ye Ziye took out "Tsuki ga Kirei" from his bag and handed it to Kato Megumi. For the same reason as "Love Metronome," he thought it was very suitable for girls to watch.

"Ye Zi, really, do you want me to stay up all night again?"

Despite saying that, Kato Megumi still accepted the book that Ye Ziye handed her.

For some reason, she felt that anything recommended by Ye Ziye must be good.

"By the way, Mr. Ye, let me treat you to something to drink today. You lent me so many books, and I'd like to thank you."

Upon hearing the invitation, Ye Ziye initially wanted to refuse because he needed to work, but the words were already on his lips when he decided to try a different approach.

"No need, come work at the shop where I work. I'm a barista there. If my boss sees that I've brought someone over, he might give me a raise."

Kato Megumi was taken aback, seemingly not expecting this turn of events, but she quickly recovered and spoke.

"Great! I'll be waiting to try Ye Zi-jun's cooking!"

"Yes! There are many pets in the shop, you'll like them."
