"Ye Zi Jun, what are you doing here?"
Just as he was thinking this, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him. He turned around and saw Kato Megumi riding a bicycle.
"As you can see, I'm on my way to school."
Looking at the back seat of the bicycle, Ye Ziye had an idea.
"Kato, can I ride this bicycle with you?"
"what?"
Kato Megumi's expression froze for a moment, then she came to her senses.
"sure."
As she spoke, she consciously sat down in the back seat of the car. She didn't have any other thoughts; she just thought that Ye Ziye was going to be late and wanted to hitch a ride.
When Ye Ziye saw Kato Megumi sitting in the back seat, he was also taken aback.
"Kato, what I mean is, you're giving me a ride."
"what?"
Following normal human thinking, Kato Megumi thought this was a joke, because she had never seen a man riding a bicycle with the man sitting on the back.
Logically speaking, the boy should sit in front, smiling into the wind, while the girl sits behind, her arms around his waist, her face flushed, and the two of them should remain shy and silent the whole way.
Kato Megumi didn't think that much about it, but she certainly didn't expect that she would be the one carrying people.
But when she saw Ye Ziye's serious expression, she knew that he was not joking.
After a long silence, Kato Megumi returned to the front without saying a word. Was this supposed to be a display of feminine power?
Ye Ziye also sat in the back, carefully tugging at Kato Megumi's clothes. He decided that he must exercise properly when he got back!
The two didn't speak a word the whole way, and passersby were shocked by this strange combination, but no one was inconsiderate enough to take pictures.
Upon arriving at school, Ye Ziye jumped out of the car. He had fully recovered by then, while Kato Megumi was quite exhausted.
"Kato, thank you so much for today. If I have the chance, I'll definitely give you a ride!"
Seeing Ye Ziye's serious expression, Kato Megumi didn't say anything. She vowed that she would never ride a bicycle to school again.
Chapter 41
Class 1B
Ye Ziye sat in her seat, glancing at Kato Megumi every now and then to see what she was doing.
The two walked from the school gate to the classroom without Kato Megumi saying a word, which made Ye Ziye wonder if the girl was angry.
On his way here, he noticed the stares of passersby. Even if he didn't care, it didn't mean that Kato Megumi didn't care. Maybe this girl cared a lot about it.
"Kato, are you angry?"
"Angry? Why?"
Kato Megumi finally spoke, but her face was full of confusion.
"Because you haven't said anything."
"That's because I'm tired. Although you look very thin, you're also very tall. I'm just an ordinary high school girl, and I don't have that much stamina."
Kato Megumi's voice trembled slightly, and its calm tone somehow sounded sexy.
Ye Ziye was relieved that Kato Megumi wasn't angry. He didn't want to upset a girl for no reason, as he would feel guilty.
If we're talking about character, Ye Ziye is definitely not a good person. In some ways, he could even be a bad person, but he wouldn't do anything to hurt others.
He had worried that his words might have hurt Yukino Yukinoshita, and he considered himself a conscientious ordinary citizen.
After learning the truth, Ye Ziye stopped dwelling on it and turned to look out the window, watching the students coming and going. Another boring day was about to begin.
So, it's Friday today. Tomorrow he can stay home and not worry about all sorts of unimaginable things happening at school.
Although the quiet time only lasts for two days, it's enough time to get some proper rest.
The morning passed quickly, and after a long period of studying and reading, Ye Ziye's learning skills finally broke through to level 3.
Although he had made a breakthrough, he didn't feel anything special; he just felt that he could think faster.
During his lunch break, Ye Ziye took out his lunch. Today, he had prepared a very lavish meal for himself because he had gotten up early and had time. He had two meat dishes and one vegetable dish for lunch.
"Ye Zi-kun, your bento box is especially lavish today!"
Kato Megumi, sitting to the side, naturally smelled the aroma; Ye Ziye's cooking skills, nearing level 4, were no joke.
"Yes, I got up early today."
Ye Ziye was in a good mood. No matter what kind of personality a person has, they will always be happy when faced with delicious food; it's a human instinct.
Looking at Kato Megumi's lunchbox, it was not much more lavish than yesterday's, but it was much less substantial than Yoko Yo's lunchbox today.
He was considering whether or not to give Kato Megumi a piece of pork rib.
In the past, Ye Ziye would never have thought this way, because he didn't like sharing things with others, nor did he like others sharing things with him.
It's not that he's stingy; he's just very opinionated. He gets very angry if someone touches his things without his permission.
But Kato Megumi did bring him to school today, so she did a great job.
Ye Ziye hadn't thought about it before, but then he realized that it was indeed very embarrassing for a girl to be with him.
"Kato, try what I made."
Ye Ziye finally made up her mind and gave one of the only three pieces of pork ribs in her lunchbox to Kato Megumi.
"Huh? Really?"
Although the two had only known each other for a month, Kato Megumi considered herself to know Yoko Yoru somewhat, and such behavior would never have happened before.
"Hmm, give it a try. It's a famous dish from China, braised pork ribs."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Kato Megumi has never been a pretentious girl, and besides, Ye Ziye's ribs are indeed very tempting.
Mmm~ Delicious!
After taking a bite, Kato Megumi let out an enticing nasal sound, and then lavished praise on herself, saying it was indeed the best thing she had ever eaten.
Just like yesterday's coffee, it was the best thing she had ever tasted. It seemed that anything would become delicious once it passed through Ye Ziye's hands.
"It's cold now. It would taste even better if it were piping hot."
Ye Ziye readily accepted the compliment and, without a hint of modesty, uttered some rather arrogant words, showing none of the typical behavior of an islander.
Kato Megumi didn't care. She already knew that her deskmate, 964, sometimes acted like a fake Japanese person, like 460.
After watching Kato Megumi take another bite, Ye Ziye withdrew his gaze. He decided to eat the two remaining ribs in the bento box last and savor them carefully.
Lunchtime was quite pleasant, with only quiet conversations and chewing sounds in the classroom. No one spoke loudly, after all, it was only the beginning of the semester.
Ye Ziye admired the cherry blossoms outside while eating the food in his bento box. Before long, only two pieces of pork ribs remained, which he was about to savor.
"Ye... Yezi-kun".
Kato Megumi's soft call reached his ears, and Ye Ziye turned around.
However, what he saw was not Kato Megumi's plain and cute face, but another delicate and charming face, and those crystal clear emerald green eyes were staring intently at the ribs in his bento box, without blinking, very seriously.
Ye Ziye recognized the girl's face; in fact, it seemed somewhat familiar—it was Artoria, the one who had taken him down yesterday.
However, this girl no longer possessed the captivating aura she had yesterday; instead, she seemed like an ordinary girl next door, though the expression on her cute little face was far too serious.
The classroom was now silent; countless eyes were fixed on Artoria, a famous figure in the school.
Artoria, however, showed no reaction whatsoever, her eyes fixed on the braised pork ribs in Ye Ziye's bento box.
"Do you... want some?"
For some reason, Ye Ziye said those words. Perhaps it was because the girl in front of him looked so serious, or perhaps it was for some other reason.
Artoria's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
"want!"
Ye Ziye regretted it a little. He had originally planned to savor it slowly by himself, but once the words were spoken, they were like water spilled.
"Then you can take one..."
Artoria nodded again, took out a pair of chopsticks from her pocket, and as if she had come prepared, picked up the only two pieces of braised pork ribs.
"I'm starting to eat."
The cherry blossoms outside the window were still in full bloom, but Ye Ziye stared into thought as she looked at the last piece of pork rib left in the lunchbox.
Chapter 42
"Thank you for your hospitality!"
Artoria ate the whole rib in small bites and returned the bone, which would make even a dog cry, to Ye Ziye. The expression on her cute face changed from satisfaction back to seriousness.
"Ye Zi, I hope you will join the Kendo Club! You have great potential, I could tell yesterday!"
Ye Ziye's lips twitched imperceptibly. He didn't know how Artoria could tell. Did she figure it out by forcibly kissing him?
"I'm sorry, I just left a club recently, and it's impossible for me to join a new club anytime soon."
Ye Ziye refused. He had no desire to join any so-called club, especially since the club's leader was an extremely dangerous person.
"I see..."
Artoria murmured softly, seemingly deep in thought.
Ye Ziye breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't forced to join like before. This Altria was a very reasonable person after all.
Artoria looked at Ye Ziye in front of her with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, because her purpose in coming here was not because of the system mission, but because of her own will.
Just as she said, she believed that Ye Ziye was an extremely promising person.
Yesterday, she had clearly concealed her aura, but Ye Ziye still managed to detect her just as she was about to get close.
As far as she knew, Ye Ziye was just an ordinary student who had never been exposed to fighting or swordsmanship, so she naturally assumed that this was an innate reaction ability.
Such talent is not to be missed. Kendo is all about speed and reaction ability. Having seen such a promising talent, Artoria did not want to give up.
Actually, she had some selfish motives. Recruiting Ye Ziye was not only to increase the strength of the club, but more importantly, to find a rival for herself.
