"It looks like it's going to rain, let's hurry up and go."

Abandoning the previous sense of ritual, Ye Ziye casually buried the chicken bones in the soil, took Fujiwara Chika's hand, and began to return the way they came.

If I had known it would rain, there would have been no point in coming out at all. The rain would have washed away all the scents, and the animals wouldn't have come looking for me.

"Oh..."

Having her hand grabbed, Fujiwara Chika didn't react for a moment, only managing a blank response.

Ye Ziye didn't notice the girl's change in expression, nor did he have time to. Who knew when the raindrops would fall? It was better to return to the camp as soon as possible.

The tent he bought this time is waterproof, so it won't be a problem as long as it's not a torrential downpour that could wash it down.

"Yezi, it seems like it's already raining."

Fujiwara Chika stretched out her hand, and a drop of water fell from the sky onto her fair and tender arm, leaving a puddle. This was followed by a continuous stream of raindrops.

The rain came down suddenly and suddenly, which is probably why it couldn't be detected.

(cifg)

Ye Ziye frowned slightly. If she had known the rain would start so quickly, she wouldn't have left the camp so far. Even if they returned to the camp now, the two of them would definitely be soaked to the bone.

He didn't care; he was quite confident in his health. But Fujiwara Chika was just a delicate girl, and if she got sick, there were no treatment options available here.

Once you catch a cold, it will definitely take a week to get better. If that's the case, then the whole trip will be ruined.

"Ye Zi, I remember there's a cave up ahead. Let's go there; it'll rain more if we do that!"

Noticing Ye Ziye's expression, Fujiwara Chika immediately made a suggestion, then took the initiative, pulling the hand of the person beside her and walking towards the cave she had been thinking about.

She could roughly guess what Ye Ziye was thinking. She was quite clever and not entirely like the naive girl she usually appeared to be.

"A cave?"

Ye Ziye was a little puzzled. Perhaps because he was too focused, he didn't find any caves. But since there was a place to take shelter from the rain, that was good.

It's unlikely he'll be that unlucky, with a bear living in the cave or something; in that case, he wouldn't stand a chance.

However, he felt that Artoria, with her sword, still had a chance to fight the bear. This idea was crazy, and he didn't know why such a thought had appeared in his mind.

Lost in his thoughts, Ye Ziye was passively pulled by Fujiwara Chika to the cave the girl had mentioned.

The entrance to the cave was piled with weeds that showed no signs of being trampled, indicating that there were no animals inside.

"Ye Zi, this is it. Hopefully, there aren't any large animals inside."

Thinking of Ye Ziye's purpose in building the fence, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but shiver. She turned around and hid behind the boy, which would make her feel safer.

Although Ye Ziye's back was not broad, and even somewhat frail, being by his side always made people feel at ease, which was what Fujiwara Chika thought.

"There shouldn't be any wild animals inside. Let's go in and wait out the rain until it stops before going back."

Ye Ziye patted Fujiwara Chika's head, wanting to give the girl a sense of security.

Holding Fujiwara Chika's wrist, Ye Ziye took out a lighter from his pocket. In outdoor life, such a thing is usually carried with you.

In the darkness, a faint light can give people a great sense of security.

Of course, this is only in relation to Ye Ziye. For Fujiwara Chika, the one who gives her a sense of security is the gentle and refined young man beside her.

Chapter 360: What Does It Feel Like to Like Someone?

The dimly lit cave was eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing and the swiping of fingers across a phone screen.

"Ye Zi, what are you doing?"

Wiping the rainwater off her clothes, Fujiwara Chika looked around and asked Yoko Yoru beside her.

Since entering the cave, Ye Ziye has taken out his phone, completely unlike his usual well-behaved self who only reads books; instead, he seems like a teenager addicted to the internet.

"I'll talk to Saber and the student council president about our positions so they won't worry."

With a slight sigh, Ye Ziye walked to the cave entrance. The rain outside was still pouring down, and she didn't know when it would stop.

"Can I send a message from here?"

Fujiwara Chika was taken aback, then suddenly stood up. She had always thought that electronic products couldn't be used in the mountains, after all, that's how it was portrayed on TV, wasn't it?

Once you're in the mountains, your phone always loses signal.

So even though she's a modern person who's always glued to her phone, Fujiwara Chika didn't bring her phone with her when she went out to throw bones with Yoko this time.

Moreover, she hasn't used her phone since she came up the mountain.

"Of course you can send messages."

Ye Ziye turned around. He roughly knew why Fujiwara Chika would ask the question; under normal circumstances, there should indeed be no signal.

However, the Shinomiya conglomerate is very wealthy, and even for this long-abandoned industry, they installed a signal tower nearby, covering an area that extends to the entire mountainous region.

"How could this happen! I should have brought my phone with me."

Fujiwara Chika sighed deeply. No one had ever told her about this before, and she never imagined that there would be a signal in a place like this.

To be honest, being trapped in a cave on a rainy day is a pretty scary thing, but now that she can not only contact the outside world, but Ye Ziye is also by her side, the timid Fujiwara Chika is actually starting to relax a bit.

Scratching her wet pink hair, Fujiwara Chika plopped down on a rock, and the cave suddenly became quiet again.

Ye Ziye had no intention of breaking the tranquility, but for the sake of both of their health, he still began to collect dry branches from the cave, preparing to start a fire to warm themselves up.

Suddenly, the sound of branches rustling against each other echoed in the cave.

Fujiwara Chika remained seated on the rock, silent. For some reason, she felt a little shy.

Being alone with someone of the opposite sex in a cave—this scenario is similar to the environment in some unhealthy little stories she secretly heard from her classmates.

Although she knew it was only out of necessity, as a teenage girl, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but let her mind wander.

"Secretary Fujiwara, sit around the fire and dry your clothes."

Although she didn't know what Fujiwara Chika was thinking, it was a good thing that the noisy girl could become a quiet and beautiful girl. After tidying everything up, Ye Ziye sat quietly by the fire, enjoying the warmth brought by the flames.

"Oh...coming!"

After a moment of hesitation, Fujiwara Chika also walked to the fire and sat down next to Ye Ziye, instead of sitting opposite him out of shyness.

Actually, she had her own considerations. She was soaking wet, and sitting down opposite Ye Ziye was a really stupid thing to do.

The orange-red flames danced in the darkness, burning withered branches and leaves, growing stronger and crackling.

Fujiwara Chika stared at the flames in front of her, momentarily lost in thought.

For some reason, she, who has always been outgoing, felt that being quiet like this was quite nice. The two of them sat together, staring blankly at the same things, waiting for the same thing to happen.

This feeling is wonderful; at least, Fujiwara Chika has never experienced it before.

She is active and cheerful. Even when she is with her best friend Kaguya Shinomiya, she feels uncomfortable if they don't talk for a long time.

However, this wouldn't happen if I were with Ye Ziye.

I don't know when I started having this feeling, this wonderful feeling that I've never had before.

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head slightly without making a sound, and in this quiet environment, the shyness she had felt earlier completely disappeared.

In such an environment, continuing to be hesitant and indecisive would be a real waste.

The firelight illuminated the boy's handsome face, adding a touch of brilliance to his dull eyes. Fujiwara Chika knew that Yoko Yo was lost in thought again.

·········Requesting flowers···········

She didn't quite understand why someone could space out for so long; she certainly couldn't do it, and she had just reached her limit.

Putting the question out of her mind, Fujiwara Chika continued to secretly observe Ye Ziye's profile.

Even though she was used to it, Fujiwara Chika had to admit that Yoko Yo was indeed extremely beautiful.

This feeling comes not only from appearance, but also from all aspects, such as hairstyle, temperament, and even clothes.

All these elements combined to create the unique Leaf Night.

Fujiwara Chika doesn't consider herself a looks-obsessed person. Even if she were, it would only be towards girls, because there are just too many pretty girls at school.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Yukino Yukinoshita are both once-in-a-century beauties.

How handsome can a boy be? Fujiwara Chika had always thought this way, but after meeting Yoko, that thought was shattered.

Sensing the strangeness in her mood, Fujiwara Chika shook her head abruptly.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Although she had thought Ye Ziye was pretty before, she hadn't thought it was to this extent.

Ever since the cultural performance ended, she has become increasingly strange. She doesn't get angry when Ye Ziye bullies her, teases her, or ignores her.

It seems that she becomes much more forgiving of anything the young men around her do.

She also started to enjoy spending time with Ye Ziye, playing games together, and didn't care even if she was bullied, which was really strange.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a sound broke the silence. Before anyone knew it, Ye Ziye's eyes regained their sparkle, and he abruptly turned his head to meet Fujiwara Chika's gaze.

Despite the sudden turn of events, Fujiwara Chika remained unusually calm. She didn't move from her position, nor did she avert her gaze. She simply stared into those jet-black eyes and, as if possessed, uttered a...

"Ye Zi, what does it feel like to like someone?" (Door)

Chapter 361: I think I've fallen for you

The question was sudden, inexplicable, and completely out of place. Even Ye Ziye was stumped by it, staring blankly at Fujiwara Chika, who was staring straight at him.

The boy and girl were already in an ambiguous situation by being alone in the dark cave, and now the girl had raised this question.

However, Ye Ziye couldn't sense any romantic atmosphere at all, because Fujiwara Chika's expression was serious enough that he had never seen such an expression before.

He had seen many different sides of Fujiwara Chika—cute, funny, even sad and flustered—but he had never seen her so serious.

"Ye Zi, answer me quickly!"

The girl's cry pulled Ye Ziye back from his dazed state of mind, bringing him back into the dark cave.

"I'm not entirely sure about 110..."

In the past, Ye Ziye might have refused to answer such a strange question, but seeing Fujiwara Chika's serious expression, he just couldn't bring himself to say "no."

"You must know!"

Fujiwara Chika leaned forward. In her mind, Ye Ziye was an omniscient being, and such a simple question would surely be no challenge for him.
