"Okay, I'll cook for you."

"I'll help!"

Upon hearing the word "cooking," the girl couldn't hide her excitement and immediately raised her hand to show her loyalty. Ye Ziye also knew what Altria's purpose was in helping.

She didn't refuse; she got back a bit late today, and Artoria was probably starving.

Cooking for Artoria has now become a habit for Ye Ziye, just like going to the Service Club every noon and the Student Council every afternoon.

These are all newly formed habits, and perhaps in the future, these habits will become his daily routine.

Artoria prepared a table full of dishes that were rated 4.5, and she ate with great relish. Although her posture was elegant, the food disappeared at an alarming rate.

Ye Ziye was already used to this contrast. After finishing her meal, she returned to her room, leaving the task of cleaning up the dishes to Artoria, of course.

In the empty room, Ye Ziye lay on her single bed without any regard for her image, staring blankly at the ceiling that was once unfamiliar but is now familiar.

He was thinking about the future, and since no one can predict what will happen, his thoughts were all over the place.

What Ye Ziye thought about most was his plan to go out with Kato Megumi on Sunday. This was the first time Ye Ziye had ever gone out with a girl alone.

Although I sometimes go out with Artoria, it's always to purchase supplies, which is a necessary activity for survival.

Going out with Kato Megumi wasn't a necessary action; it was a decision he made suddenly on a whim. However, he didn't feel any regret or anything; it was just going out together.

What he was really worried about was what would happen if Kato Megumi was unhappy when they went out together, and whether it would affect their friendship.

As her first friend, Yoko Yoshino still held Kato Megumi in high regard.

Rubbing her hair, Ye Ziye stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking about it now; all imagination couldn't compare to the reality of Sunday.

Chapter 114

May 24th, Sunday.

Today is the day that Ye Ziye and Kato Megumi had agreed upon, and the weather is also cooperating perfectly, with clear skies and pleasant temperatures, making it a great day to go out and have fun.

The two agreed to meet at ten o'clock, but Ye Ziye woke up at eight o'clock, not because he was too excited, but simply because he couldn't sleep.

Actually, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to sleep until nine o'clock, because the place he and Kato Megumi agreed to meet was the nearby shopping mall, which was a five-minute walk away.

Ye Ziye was very glad that she moved here.

Stretching, Ye Ziye got dressed and went out to make breakfast. As he walked into the living room, Artoria had just returned from her run.

With such nice weather today, Artoria had no reason not to go for a run, so Ye Ziye wasn't too surprised to see her come back so late.

Good morning, Yezi.

"Good morning. Go take a shower first, breakfast will be ready soon."

After saying that, Ye Ziye went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two of them. The day begins with breakfast, and you can't skip it.

Artoria nodded. She hadn't run very far and was covered in sweat, so taking a shower was the right thing to do. However, she wouldn't brush her teeth! She would have to wait until after she finished eating.

Hearing the suggestive sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Ye Ziye remained oblivious, completely at ease.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard it; sometimes he'd even see some unwashed underwear left behind by Artoria in the bathroom, so the sound didn't bother him much.

Just as he finished making breakfast, Artoria came out of the bathroom, wearing a nightgown and drying her golden hair with a towel.

"Yezi, help me blow-dry my hair."

"it is good."

Ye Ziye did not refuse, because it was extremely inconvenient for Altria to use a hairdryer while standing in front of the mirror due to her height.

So whenever Ye Ziye had free time, he would have Artoria step on his feet and blow-dry her hair in front of the mirror, since it wasn't a troublesome thing.

Artoria carefully placed the towel in the basin and stood in front of the mirror, while Ye Ziye stood behind her with a hairdryer, carefully drying her hair.

Artoria's hair is of very good quality, exceptionally smooth, and you can run your fingers from root to tip. It also has a unique, feminine fragrance.

Ye Ziye didn't dislike this fragrance. Unlike chemical products, this natural body odor was more pleasant to smell.

"Saber, I'm going out to buy some things in a bit. I might be back before noon."

"Well, I see."

The reason I told Artoria this was to prevent the girl from worrying when she found out she was missing; such things have happened before.

After completely drying the girl's hair, Ye Ziye put away the hairdryer and looked at the single, upright ahoge (cowlick) with some curiosity.

He had just tried to blow that single stray hair with a hairdryer, but he couldn't budge it. It was like magic; he had no idea how he did it.

"Let's go eat."

After taking one last look at that single strand of hair, Ye Ziye suppressed his curiosity and turned to leave the bathroom.

Artoria left satisfied after tossing her hair in front of the mirror. She quite liked having Ye Ziye blow-dry her hair; it was convenient and comfortable.

After breakfast, the two of them went to the bathroom to brush their teeth. It was quite strange that they went in twice in one morning.

Even after finishing breakfast, it would only be nine o'clock. He estimated he would arrive at his destination at nine-tenths, which was too early.

So after brushing his teeth, Ye Ziye returned to his room, intending to spend the rest of the time in a daze, since he really had nothing to do.

He had barely managed to finish the third volume of the novel, and planned to write the fourth volume after he had some inspiration from his time with Kato Megumi.

Nothing much has really happened these days, except for a slight change: for some reason, he has now become the tea-making specialist in the Service Department.

Furthermore, the Service Club has inexplicably gained an extra member, Yui Yui, who came to request help last time. Her reason for wanting to join is that the club activities are very interesting.

Yukino Yukinoshita did not refuse, after all, Yui Yui wasn't an annoying person, although she was a little slow-witted, it didn't matter.

Perhaps in certain cases, Yui Yui will be able to fulfill her intended role.

Within the student council, after Kaguya Shinomiya fell ill that day, her personality became much friendlier, and she was almost unrecognizable from her previous cold demeanor.

However, there was one plot in the novel that really caught Ye Ziye's attention: a cold and aloof girl would become incredibly cute and endearing when she was sick.

Ye Ziye suspected that this was based on a real person, namely Kaguya Shinomiya.

His suspicions were not unfounded. Ever since that day, Fujiwara Chika would occasionally reveal a creepy smile, which looked quite frightening.

The hands of the clock kept turning, and (okay!) half an hour passed quickly, and Ye Ziye woke up from her boring daydream.

Sometimes he didn't even know how he managed to maintain such a dazed state for so long. Half an hour wasn't even his longest record; Ye Ziye's record was two hours.

During those two hours, he did nothing but think, thinking about all sorts of things, some boring, some interesting, but the only thing they had in common was that none of them were of any use.

After tidying his clothes in front of the mirror, Ye Ziye left the room, preparing to head to the place he had arranged to meet Kato Megumi.

In the living room, Artoria wasn't exercising; instead, she was holding Garfield and watching TV, while her mouth was also busy eating the delicate pastries made by Ye Ziye.

“Saber, I’m leaving.”

"Bon Voyage!"

Chapter 115

When Ye Ziye arrived at the agreed meeting place, he waited there. He had arrived ten minutes early, so Kato Megumi had not yet arrived.

This girl always arrived at the classroom right on time, possessing an uncanny punctuality, so Ye Ziye wasn't too surprised that she hadn't arrived yet.

Because it was Sunday, the mall was crowded, mostly with pretty young women out having fun on Sunday. Seeing Ye Ziye standing there alone, many of them were itching to make a move.

After all, there aren't many handsome guys like Ye Ziye, not to mention he also has a very gentle and quiet temperament.

Ye Ziye didn't pay much attention to the stares from the girls around him, because he was already used to it. More importantly, he saw Kato Megumi.

"Good morning, Yezi-kun. Have you been waiting long?"

"I waited for five minutes."

If it were anyone else, they would definitely say, "I just arrived too," but Ye Ziye is no ordinary person; she accurately stated how long she had been waiting.

Unlike other girls, Kato Megumi didn't show any embarrassment; she remained calm and composed.

Ye Ziye looked at the girl in front of him; this was the first time he had seen Kato Megumi in casual clothes.

Unlike Yukino Yukinoshita's more masculine style, Megumi Kato's style is very girlish.

She wore a red vest over a white lace shirt and an oversized beret.

Beneath the flowing lace culottes, a pair of long, slender legs encased in white stockings could be seen. Kato Megumi was anything but ordinary today, just as Ye Ziye had predicted.

In his view, Kato Megumi was a girl who was just as cute as anyone else; the reason she was unremarkable was simply because of her strange presence.

Now, with a very fashionable outfit, she has somewhat offset her previous unremarkable appearance. Today, Kato Megumi's presence is off the charts.

Despite being stared at by Ye Ziye, Kato Megumi didn't blush like other girls; instead, she looked him up and down.

Ye Ziye was dressed very simply today, in a white shirt and black trousers. In Tokyo, you see guys dressed like that all the time; it's very common.

However, these clothes didn't look ordinary on Ye Ziye at all; instead, they looked very special, as if they were tailor-made for her.

The two stared at each other without any restraint for a while before looking away.

"Ye Zi-jun, let's go inside. I can feel all sorts of gazes around us..."

Although being stared at by Ye Ziye wasn't a big deal, Kato Megumi couldn't stand the gazes coming from all directions.

You have to understand that she has always been a nobody and has never received this kind of treatment before. Suddenly being stared at by so many people must have made her feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's go in."

Ye Ziye also felt that there were quite a few people around, and it would not be a wise move to stay any longer.

"Ah."

After responding softly, Kato Megumi followed behind Ye Ziye, feeling much more at ease and letting out a sigh of relief.

"Ye Zi, your popularity is really frightening."

"Pretty much... I didn't really want it to be like this..."

Ye Ziye complained helplessly that although she was used to it, being stared at like a monkey every time she went out sometimes made her feel uncomfortable.

Rubbing her hair, Ye Ziye shook all those unpleasant thoughts out of her mind. She decided to go out on a Sunday, something she'd never done before; it was better to be happy.

This shopping mall is the largest in the area, and many young people choose to come here to play on their days off.

The mall is divided into two main areas, north and south, and has more than 200 shops, including fashion, lifestyle, outdoor, and restaurants. There is so much to see that you could spend a whole day there without getting tired, as if it was built specifically for shopping.

However, even on a Sunday when everyone is free, the mall was still quite crowded. Although it wasn't packed to the point of being shoulder to shoulder, there were still a lot of people.

Although he didn't like crowds, Ye Ziye still led Kato Megumi inside. There were many areas with very few people, such as the place with the claw machine where he had been last time.
