Yui Yuigahama shook her head and explained the reason why she had come to that conclusion.

Looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him, Ye Ziye's eyes were filled with doubt. Was his previous impression wrong? Was this girl actually a smart person?

Yukino Yukinoshita had a similar look in her eyes, because the range of people who could be guessing who sent the gift was too large, and there were many possible people, but Yui Yui accurately guessed it, which she herself could hardly do.

Feeling the shocked gazes of the two people, Yui Yui chuckled and sat down, but she was no longer as listless as before. She felt that she had gained a foothold in the Service Department.

As for what she just said, it was all made up. She doesn't have such accurate intuition, nor is she that smart.

The reason she knew so much detail was that she witnessed everything firsthand when Ye Ziye and Kato Megumi were buying glasses in the clothing store across the street over the weekend.

Although lying is wrong, Yui Hibiki feels it's worth it to be considered a smart person!

Chapter 127

The atmosphere in the Service Club was a bit strange, because the three people's positions had changed slightly.

It turns out that in this classroom, there was a truly intelligent person, a person who seemed not intelligent but was actually very intelligent, and a person who looked not intelligent but was not intelligent either.

Now, in this classroom, there is a truly intelligent person, a person who seems not intelligent but is actually very intelligent, and a person who is not intelligent but pretends to be very intelligent.

Importantly, although Yui Yui's methods were not sophisticated, she successfully deceived the two people, making them begin to doubt their own judgment.

On the surface, Ye Ziye seems to have become the least intelligent one, while Yui Yuigahama has become the second to last, which is also the second to last.

Although no one mentioned the ranking, Ye Ziye keenly sensed the somewhat provocative look in Yui Yui's eyes.

Of course, he wouldn't care. He knew his own situation best. However, he was still quite surprised that Yui Hibiki was able to accurately guess that it was Megumi Kato who gave him the gift.

Yukino Yukinoshita sat quietly in her seat, savoring the fragrant black tea. She wasn't being stared at by any strange gazes, so she didn't think much of it.

What she really cared about was the relationship between Kato Megumi and Yoko Yoru. Now she finally understood why that ordinary girl had said those things in the infirmary that day—relationships are always premeditated.

And for some reason, she felt slightly uncomfortable. Looking at Ye Ziye's face, which was even more alluring to girls despite wearing glasses, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped looking at him.

After downing the black tea in her cup, Yukino Yukinoshita poured herself a new cup and began to re-examine the manuscript in front of her.

Learning can make people forget their troubles; this is an unchanging truth, because learning can also become your new troubles.

Seeing that Ye Ziye and Yukino Yukinoshita's shock didn't last long, Yui Yui was also a little unhappy, as she hadn't had a chance to show off properly yet.

But as a girl full of energy, it was impossible for her to suddenly become in a bad mood. After enjoying a delicious cup of black tea, she began to think about what to write for her submission.

Although she was not very good at this kind of thing, Yui Yui still wanted to do it well, because this was her first request since joining the Service Club.

However, humans do have their limits. What they are not good at is simply not good at. After a long time, Yui Yui still couldn't come up with a good idea, or even a theme.

With a soft sigh, Yui Yuigahama turned her gaze to Yukino Yukinoshita. At this moment, the truly intelligent girl was still working hard to revise the document, striving to do her best.

Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama secretly cheered herself up. Even smart people are working so hard, so she must continue to work hard too!

However, while it's easy to think about something, putting it into practice is quite difficult. It's like how many people want to become the world's richest person, but only one person actually ends up in that position.

Although she knew the analogy was somewhat exaggerated, Yui Yuigahama felt that writing a good manuscript was no less difficult than becoming the world's richest person.

After letting out a soft sigh, Yui Yuigahama turned her gaze to Yoko Yoru.

She remembered that Ye Ziye had been reading novels from the very beginning and had no intention of writing anything.

"Ye Zi, aren't you going to hurry up and write it? The Literature Department is really pushing us, this commission needs to be completed this afternoon."

"I'm only half a member, so I probably don't need to write it, right? You and Yukinoshita are enough."

Ye Ziye turned around and casually said that his learning skills were at a very high level, and writing a high-quality article would be a very simple matter for him. He just didn't want to make trouble for himself.

He came to the Service Department at noon because it was quiet there, and he could read or write well.

"Xiaoxue, Yezi-jun should write something, right? More people means more strength, doesn't it?"

Do I need it?

Both of them turned their gazes toward Yukino Yukinoshita.

Yui knew perfectly well that in this classroom, only Yukino Yukinoshita could ask Yoru to do something for her; she couldn't...

She knew she wasn't capable enough to write a good article, so she wanted Ye Ziye to take the stage.

She had heard that Ye Ziye wrote novels, so her writing style should be very good. That way, even if her writing wasn't good, the other two could still improve the quality, which would be considered a successful completion of the commission.

Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head slightly, looked at Yui Yui who was looking at her expectantly, and slowly began to speak.

“I can’t order Ye Zi around. He can write if he wants to, and it doesn’t really matter if he doesn’t want to.”

She knew in her heart that Ye Ziye would definitely agree if she asked him, but she didn't want to force him.

She didn't want to rely too much on Ye Ziye. It's right to ask for help when you encounter something that you can't do alone, but now she felt that she could complete this task very well on her own, so there was no need for help.

"Huh? How could this be?"

Yui Yuigahama slumped weakly on the table, her expression turning listless again. Her perfect plan had failed because she couldn't get Yoko to do anything.

Looking at the listless Yui Yuigahama, and then at the serious-looking Yukino Yukinoshita.

After pondering for a while, Ye Ziye sighed and took the white paper from Yui Yui's desk. Although he didn't want to meddle, he really had nothing else to do.

Sometimes, having too much reading ability can be a problem. You can't savor a good book for long; you finish it all in just a short time.

There are no books to read now, and I'm lacking inspiration for writing novels, so writing some manuscripts is a way to pass the time.

"Thank you, Ye Zi!"

Seeing Ye Ziye offering his help, Yui Yui's eyes lit up with joy, but she didn't stand idly by either; she wanted to do her part as well.

So she took the initiative to move closer to Ye Ziye to observe.

Yukino Yukinoshita silently looked up at Yoko Yoru, who had started writing on her own initiative, and a smile appeared on her lips. Then she lowered her head again and continued to revise her work.

Now that Ye Ziye is taking the stage, she needs to do an even better job!

Chapter 128

What topic do you want to write about?

Looking at Yui Bin beside him, Ye Ziye asked, because it wasn't him who was going to submit the work; it would be more appropriate for him to match the other party's taste.

"Theme? Let me think!"

Yui Yuigahama touched her slightly pointed chin, thinking carefully. In fact, she had been thinking about this problem for a while, but she hadn't been able to figure it out.

However, things are different now. The reason she couldn't come up with anything before was because she felt she couldn't write well no matter what the topic was.

Now that someone is writing it for her, she is confident that Ye Ziye can write it well, so she doesn't feel as much pressure when it comes to coming up with a theme, and she can naturally come up with one.

Ye Ziye silently twirled his pen, not urging the girl beside him. If he were to choose a theme himself, it would probably be a very melancholic one.

If Hibini Yui were to choose the theme, it would likely be something positive and uplifting, the kind of submission the Literature Club would prefer.

However, Ye Ziye had another question: why didn't the members of the Literature Club write anything themselves? Was publishing their work the only task of the Literature Club?

Ye Ziye felt they could change their name to the Publicity Department, which would be more appropriate.

"Ye Zi-jun, the theme is about Loneliness 12, how about it?"

After saying that, Yubibin stood there with a smug look on his face, smiling at Ye Ziye, as if he was just waiting for the other party to praise him.

"Lonely?"

When Ye Ziye heard this topic, he was indeed a little surprised, but he didn't have any intention of praising Yui Yuigahama. He was more puzzled.

He had thought that Yui Yui would choose some positive and uplifting themes, so her choice of loneliness was completely unexpected.

However, upon closer reflection, one can roughly understand why this girl chose loneliness as the theme.

"Ye Zijun, after thinking it over, I've decided to stick with this theme. Aren't you best at writing about this? I'm afraid you won't be able to write about anything weird or unusual. Besides, I think loneliness is pretty cool."

Yui Yuigahama slowly opened her mouth and explained why she chose to be alone, while Ye Ziye silently nodded in his heart, which was about the same as what he had guessed.

Ye Ziye had originally planned to write something positive and uplifting, but this is fine too. It's very comfortable to be able to write what I'm best at.

Yukino Yukinoshita, sitting by the window, listened silently; she had already revised her manuscript.

Her theme wasn't about loneliness, and when she heard that Yui Hibi wanted Yoko Yoru to write about that theme, she surprisingly sighed.

As she let out that sigh, Yukino Yukinoshita understood that, having read Yoko Yoh's novel, she had subconsciously come to believe that she was inferior to him.

There was nothing that could be done about it. It's true that she's a genius girl, but Ye Ziye's novels are indeed more moving. Even though she doesn't read novels often, she bought two of them and read them at home.

Ye Ziye often asked her for advice on things like plot and word choice, and there were some of these questions that she couldn't answer either.

Looking at Ye Ziye's indifferent expression, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. She had originally wanted to compete, but now it seemed unnecessary.

After confirming that there were no typos in her manuscript, Yukino Yukinoshita carefully put it away, picked up her still-steaming cup of black tea, and walked over to Yoko Yoru's side.

She couldn't come up with anything better, so she would just use the one she had. Now she wanted to see what kind of manuscript Ye Ziye could write and submit it to the literature department.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly appear beside him, Ye Ziye rubbed his hair, still quite surprised.

However, he didn't care too much. He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't come up with anything when a pretty girl was around. Besides, his afternoon PE class was about to start, so it was better to finish writing as soon as possible.

This was a topic he was very good at, so he didn't think about it for long and quickly started writing.

"Loneliness is a step that everyone must take in life. Everyone has to face this emotion that no one wants to face as they grow up. It may be the absence of messages on your phone when you wake up in the afternoon, or the sudden silence in the middle of the night."

"Actually, loneliness is just two words. If you break it down, there are children, fruit, animals, mosquitoes and flies, enough to sustain you through a hot summer. At dusk, the alleyway is bustling with people, full of human warmth."

"Children hold melons under willow trellises, small dogs chase butterflies in deep alleys. Human prosperity is full of jokes, only I am left with the wind blowing through my temples."

"Children, fruit, cats, dogs, flies—it's all lively, but it has nothing to do with you. That's loneliness."

After writing the last word, Ye Ziye slowly put down his pen, while Yui Yuigahama excitedly picked up the white paper that was now stained with thick black ink, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She hadn't expected that Ye Ziye would finish writing what had troubled her for so long in just a few words, without the slightest hesitation.

However, there were still some parts of the manuscript that she didn't understand, because she simply couldn't comprehend them.

"Ye Zijun, what does it mean to break down loneliness into its components?"

Pointing to that passage, Yui Yuigahama looked curious, while Ye Ziye was stunned for a moment, then gave a deflated smile.

He was a bit careless. While writing this, he helplessly recalled the past, still regarding this place as the Celestial Empire. Since people here don't learn the Celestial Empire's script, they naturally wouldn't know the meaning of that sentence.

"Then I'll make some changes."

This isn't the first time this little mistake has happened. When writing the novel, Ye Ziye sometimes mistakenly thinks that the scene is from her past life, but it doesn't matter. She can just correct it.

Just as Ye Ziye reached out to take the paper back, Yui Yuigahama suddenly raised her hand, smiled, and said something.

"Although I don't understand it, I'm sure someone else will! This sentence seems quite profound, and it would be a shame to remove it, so let's leave it here!"
