"If you like, you can pet it. It loves being petted by pretty girls like you. I don't know why, even though it's a female cat."
Is it really possible?
Yukino's eyes shone, completely ignoring Yoru's praise. If it were before, she might have been a little shy, but now, all she wanted to do was rub Garfield's big face.
"Yes, it's very docile and won't scratch you."
Ye Ziye nodded and delivered two more cups of black tea. By this time, she had delivered a whole bucket.
After glancing at Yoko, who was giving drinks to others, and then at Garfield, Yukino Yukinoshita steeled her heart and ultimately did not go over.
"Let's forget about it. We can try to touch it when we have a chance. Let me help you!"
Yukino Yukinoshita withdrew her gaze, forcibly resisting looking at Garfield any longer, picked up a paper cup filled with black tea, and stood there like a guardian deity.
Ye Ziye looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with slight surprise; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
However, this behavior does indeed align with Yukino Yukinoshita's code of conduct; no matter what she does, she prioritizes tasks.
Perhaps in this girl's eyes, at this moment, helping Ye Ziye with her charity work is much more important than petting a cat's chubby face.
"No need, you should go pet Garfield. Staying here won't do any good and will only deter others from coming over."
Ye Ziye looked at the person who had just wanted to ask for black tea but was scared away by Yukino Yukinoshita's aloof aura and felt somewhat helpless.
"why?"
"Because we're both the same, we don't like to smile, and our demeanor and appearance can create a sense of distance. Haven't you noticed that very few people come to me for black tea?"
Ye Ziye pointed to the location of Nakamura Nanning, where a large number of people had gathered, all drawn there by his friendly smile.
As for him, there weren't many people who came in total, and now with Yukino Yukinoshita joining the fray, things are only getting worse.
......
"I..."
Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to refute it, but she found that it was the truth and she couldn't refute it at all. Moreover, she couldn't understand why someone would feel distant from another person because of their appearance.
Like many young ladies from wealthy families, she was very confident in her appearance.
"Alright, thank you very much for your kindness, but it turns out that there's very little we can do in this regard. Let's just stay put and not cause trouble for others."
After finishing speaking, Ye Ziye checked that no one else was coming over and then sat down in a chair.
He didn't feel guilty about slacking off, because he knew he had done everything he could; he had made both large barrels of black tea all by himself.
The reason he's not helping now isn't because of his own actions, but because of other people's opinions.
However, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem to think so. This girl hadn't contributed anything to this event before, and her willingness to help was just a coincidence.
Ye Ziye pulled out a chair, then led Garfield over and placed her in Yukino Yukinoshita's arms, pressing her shoulders and forcing her to sit down.
"You just stay here and watch Garfield. If anyone comes by, pour them a cup of tea. If no one comes by, just stay here and watch Garfield."
Feeling the obedient, fluffy creature in her arms, Yukino Yukinoshita was a little stunned, but before she could say anything, Yoru had already waved and left.
He was left with only a somewhat dashing silhouette.
Chapter 102
Squatting at the entrance of the mall, Ye Ziye silently observed the situation of the three girls.
To be honest, he didn't really like this environment; there were just too many people coming and going, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita appeared in time and took over his work. He just wanted to stay here and watch over things, and would go over if he needed any help.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that his help is not needed. Nakamura Nanami and Kudo Nami are handling things very well, and Yukino Yukinoshita is also taking care of Garfield.
Because of their dedication to their work, Nakamura Nanami and Kudo Nami have not yet noticed that his position has been changed.
But that's fine too, at least it saves him the trouble of being questioned. He felt that his job would probably end the moment he finished making all the drinks, and that he was no longer needed.
"Kaguya-kun, look! Isn't that Yoko-kun?"
It was another familiar voice, but compared to Yukino Yukinoshita's cool and aloof tone, this voice carried a hint of joy and surprise.
A frightening fan, with an adorable face, suddenly appeared in front of Ye Ziye.
"Ye Zi-kun, I knew it was you! I told Kaguya-san before, but she didn't believe me!"
Fujiwara Chika looked at Ye Ziye's face, then winked smugly at Shinomiya Kaguya beside her, seemingly quite pleased with herself.
Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes darted away. In fact, she had already noticed Ye Ziye and had roughly guessed that he was doing a charity event.
So she didn't intend to come and bother them, and when Fujiwara Chika first suggested coming to see her, she refused without hesitation.
But she never expected that she could hide for a while, but not forever!
At Fujiwara Chika's insistence, she was practically dragged over, and she somewhat regretted going out today.
"Ye Zi-jun..."
However, since she saw someone familiar, it was better to say hello. Ye Ziye's charity work was highly regarded in her mind.
What are you doing here?
Looking at the two familiar people in front of him, Ye Ziye couldn't help but frown. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?
First, she encountered Yukino Yukinoshita, and later she met Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara. This kind of plot seems to only appear in the popular isekai (another world) genre.
"Yoko-kun, how rude of you! Kaguya and I came here seeking inspiration, and we only came over to say hello because we saw you."
As Fujiwara Chika spoke, Shinomiya Kaguya lowered her head. Coming here was not her intention; she was forced to come because she couldn't resist the cuteness overload.
However, Ye Ziye was somewhat curious about what Fujiwara Chika meant by what she said.
What kind of inspiration are you seeking here?
Having prepared her answer beforehand, Fujiwara Chika puffed out her chest and proudly spoke.
"I've decided to write a novel that surpasses yours. I came to this mall to find the atmosphere of romance! I can't write well without inspiration."
"The aura of romance?"
Ye Ziye's expression was a little strange; this was the first time he had heard such an odd term.
Kaguya Shinomiya lowered her head even further, which is why she didn't want to come with Chika Fujiwara.
"Then I wish you good luck, and hope you find that romantic feeling you're talking about soon."
The so-called search for romantic atmosphere might just be an attempt to drag Kaguya Shinomiya out for fun.
"We haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here?"
Fujiwara Chika adjusted her skirt, took Shinomiya Kaguya's hand, and sat down in front of Ye Ziye.
Although she was carefree, she still had the reserve of a young girl. Today she was wearing a skirt, and it felt a little strange to keep standing in front of Ye Ziye, so it was better for her to sit down.
"I'm here to set up a stall."
Ye Ziye pointed to the three girls and continued speaking.
"I'm a little tired, so I came here to rest for a bit."
"Huh~ Ye Zi-jun actually made three girls work, that's so unmanly of him!"
Ye Ziye glanced at Fujiwara Chika but didn't say anything. If it were someone else criticizing him, he might think about correcting himself, but if it was this girl criticizing him, sorry, he couldn't hear it.
Unlike Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was somewhat strange. Following the direction Ye Ziye's finger was pointing, she could clearly see a person...
Yukinoshita Yukino.
They were in the same class, or rather, they had been in the same class since they were little, because they had both attended Shuchiin Academy since childhood and were both from wealthy families.
One family is in business, the other in politics; what they have in common is that both families are very wealthy.
Although the two had been classmates for nearly ten years, they had spoken very little, or even none at all.
Because they are all introverted, they don't take the initiative to talk to others, and they have a cold temperament that makes others afraid to get close.
They have always been rivals. In every exam, either Kaguya Shinomiya or Yukino Yukinoshita comes in first place. There has never been a third person competing against them.
When she entered high school, Kaguya Shinomiya became the top student by a very small margin and became the student council president.
She didn't encounter any obstacles during the election because Yukino Yukinoshita didn't run for office; instead, she established a Service Club and chose to implement her own ideals.
Kaguya Shinomiya admired this. As far as she knew, Yoko had briefly joined the Service Club, but left for unknown reasons.
She has been investigating this reason.
But what really intrigued her was the relationship between Yukino Yukinoshita and Yoru Yo. According to the information, the two shouldn't have a very good relationship, so why were they helping each other out today?
Kaguya Shinomiya was puzzled, but she wouldn't ask now, because Chika Fujiwara was there, and she felt that if she asked, something very troublesome would happen.
Watching the girl sitting in the chair stroking the cat and occasionally handing out red tea to others, Kaguya Shinomiya's wine-red eyes sparkled with a strange light, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"Ye Zijun, you decide what to do. I will definitely write a novel that is even better than yours! The protagonist will be the character you abandoned that day."
"Then I'll wait and see."
It's not because I particularly like it, I just wanted to see how someone of ambiguous gender could become the protagonist.
Chapter 103
"Kaguya-san, let's continue searching for the scent of romance!"
After chatting with Ye Ziye for a while, Fujiwara Chika stood up, dusted off the dust on her skirt, and prepared to go look for the "scent of love" again.
Although she ran into acquaintances along the way, Ye Ziye was a competitor, so she needed to work even harder.
"Um, Fujiwara-san, I'm a little tired. Why don't you go look for it first, and I'll rest for a bit? You can come find me later."
Kaguya Shinomiya didn't get up, but sat on the steps pretending to be weak. Her acting was so bad that even Ye Ziye, who had acting skills, couldn't bear to watch it.
He felt that any normal person should be able to tell that this was an act, but unfortunately, Kaguya Shinomiya was facing Chika Fujiwara.
After a brief pause, Fujiwara Chika began to speak.
"Alright then, Kaguya-san, you'd better stay here obediently, I'll come pick you up in a bit!"
After saying what an adult would say to a child, Fujiwara Chika left the spot and continued searching for signs of romance, leaving Yoko Yoru alone there sighing.
He felt that Fujiwara Chika was probably his nemesis; he could never figure out what that girl was thinking.
After Fujiwara Chika left, only Yoko Yoru and Shinomiya Kaguya were left sitting there, with an empty seat between them.
"Do you have any questions for me that you'd like to ask me?"
