Ye Ziye's purpose in doing these petty things wasn't to gain the girls' gratitude; he wasn't that shallow. However, the joy he felt when he saw the girls' smiles was genuine.

Perhaps men exist for this very reason!

Chapter 152

Both girls were slightly taken aback when they saw Ye Ziye's smile; it was the first time they had ever seen the boy smile.

It must be said that Ye Ziye's smile is very beautiful. Her usual plain and ordinary temperament seems to have disappeared, replaced by a gentle temperament that is captivating.

However, the smile didn't last long and quickly disappeared. Ye Ziye wasn't expressionless; he was just resting his chin on his hand, and smiling was quite tiring for him.

Fujiwara Chika rubbed her eyes, looking at Yoko Yoru who had returned to her usual calm, and thought she must have seen wrong.

However, Kaguya Shinomiya knew in her heart that she hadn't misread it; Ye Ziye had indeed smiled just now.

After thinking for a moment, Kaguya Shinomiya stopped dwelling on the smile, pursed her lips, and lowered her head to observe her miniature.

Seeing the two beside her like this, Fujiwara Chika stopped thinking about it, put on a serious expression, and said to Ye Ziye...

"Ye Zi, don't worry! I'll definitely treat you well from now on!"

Carefully placing the little figure in her pocket, Fujiwara Chika said with certainty.

However, she then realized something was wrong. That sentence sounded like something a male lead would say to a female lead in a TV drama. She also wondered if she had somehow bullied Ye Ziye.

Looking at Fujiwara Chika's serious expression, Ye Ziye suddenly felt a little out of place. This girl was much cuter when she showed that kind of smile she had just shown.

Moreover, the idea that Fujiwara Chika was good to him felt somewhat unreliable and a little strange.

But since the girl had made up her mind, he couldn't bear to break it. He only hoped that from today onwards, his status in the student council could be slightly improved.

The two clubs he's joined now are predominantly female, with a girl as his deskmate and a girl as his roommate. It's quite strange that he hasn't made a single friend of the same sex in all this time.

Kaguya Shinomiya carefully put away the little figurine that Ye Ziye had given her. She didn't want to show it off or flaunt it; she just wanted to protect it.

Such a thoughtful gift would surely cheer you up if you were in a bad mood.

Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya smiled slightly, and her mood improved a bit. The little figure that Ye Ziye gave her today was truly an unexpected delight.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Ye Ziye checked the time. He had been in the student council long enough. He had delivered the items and Kaguya Shinomiya had finished explaining everything. There was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Are you leaving so early?"

Fujiwara Chika said something she had never said before: because of the gift, she now held Ye Ziye in very high regard.

She doesn't have many male friends, except for Ye Ziye, who can be considered one now.

Kaguya Shinomiya was very sensible; she understood Ye Ziye's situation and knew that he should be working at this time.

Kaguya Shinomiya tugged at Fujiwara Chika's sleeve and said to Ye Ziye...

"Well then, take care, Yezi. We will cherish the little person you gave us!"

"Ah."

Nodding to Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara, Ye Ziye walked out of the student council classroom and left Shuchiin Academy. Although she had inexplicably had a lot more work today, it was still a good day.

In the student council room, watching Ye Ziye's departing figure, Fujiwara Chika pouted, but quickly recovered and urged Shinomiya Kaguya to bring out her figurines.

She wanted to compare the two miniature figures to see which one was more exquisite.

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she took it out of her pocket. After comparing them, the result was a draw.

Even after Ye Zi left, the student council could still be filled with joy.

For Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara, Yoru could be considered a very good friend, though this relationship wasn't defined by this small gift today.

If a relationship can be elevated simply because of a gift, that's too superficial. Kaguya Shinomiya and Chika Fujiwara are clearly not like that...

They had known Ye Ziye for over two months. From barely talking at the beginning to now being able to tease each other, today's gift simply made them realize more clearly that this boy had a skillful and meticulous nature.

However, even though that's what they said, they would still cherish the gifts Ye Ziye gave them, they would cherish them very much.

Riding his bicycle, feeling the warm breeze blowing in his face, Ye Ziye's mind went blank. He liked this feeling, even though it was a little dangerous to do it on the road.

He only has three little figures in his schoolbag that he hasn't given away yet: Nakamura Nanami, Kudo Nami, and Akiyama Hitomi.

The first two are fine; they can be given out at the coffee shop. It's just that I don't know if Hitomi Akiyama will come today, but giving gifts isn't something that's particularly urgent.

Thinking this, Ye Ziye returned home by dangerous bicycle. As expected, Altria had not returned yet; she was probably engaged in a kendo club activity.

As a minister, she must have a lot of things to handle. Perhaps we'll even get to see Artoria perform kendo at the arts festival.

However, this possibility is almost zero. For her, swordsmanship has never been something to be performed, otherwise she wouldn't have used such a ruthless attack every time she sparred with Ye Ziye.

Garfield was still sleeping on the balcony, which made Ye Ziye frown. This cat was really too lazy and its size was also a bit overweight.

Because he didn't inherit the memories of his predecessor, he doesn't know how old Garfield is. If he's old, he can't let Garfield continue like this; it's a very dangerous thing to do.

With the plan to take Garfield to the doctor in mind, Ye 60 returned to his room at midnight to change his clothes, put the three little figures in his pocket, and prepared to leave.

He checked the time and figured he wouldn't be late today, which meant he could avoid being verbally attacked by that woman, Nami Kudo. That was a good thing, in a way.

Chapter 153

Pet café.

Ye Ziye arrived at her workplace five minutes before she was supposed to be late, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Kudo Nami looking at her watch.

The useless shopkeeper, who only knew how to tend to flowers and plants, felt a hint of relief in her eyes when she saw Ye Ziye, but she still reluctantly snorted and walked aside, maintaining her shopkeeper's dignity.

Meanwhile, his adorable disciple, Nakamura Nanami, was at the bar, seemingly thinking that Ye Ziye wasn't coming today either, so he wanted to fill in for the barista for another day.

However, the girl was a little flustered. After seeing Ye Ziye, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes showed a hint of reassurance. She then quickly walked into the staff lounge.

A moment later, Nakamura Nanning came out of the lounge, holding an apron in her hand, and considerately put it on Ye Ziye.

"Nakamura, did anything happen on Saturday?"

Upon hearing this question, Nakamura Nanami recalled while helping Yoko tie her apron.

"No, quite a few customers came that day, and most of them asked why I wasn't at work. I didn't know how to answer... But no customers complained about me that day, and I did my job as a barista perfectly well!"

Nakamura Nanami nodded his little head vigorously, his big eyes sparkling as if he were expecting praise.

Ye Ziye patted Nakamura Nanami's head, walked to the bar, and said...

"You had a tough day, but the fact that you persevered proves that you're qualified to be a barista. Once your skills have improved a bit more, this shop can be handed over to you."

"Hey!"

Hearing Ye Zi openly handing over power, Kudo Nami, the store manager, couldn't help but call out from the side to indicate that she was still there.

"I'm talking about the handover of the barista position. Even if you apply to other coffee shops, Nakamura, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Nanning Sauce isn't leaving, so don't try to stir things up here!"

Seeing that Ye Ziye's remarks were becoming increasingly dangerous, Kudo Nami appeared just in time and hugged Nakamura Nanami tightly, as if she were holding a priceless treasure.

Meanwhile, Nakamura Nanning was still immersed in Ye Ziye's praise and couldn't pull himself away, chuckling foolishly, looking incredibly cute.

Ye Ziye sighed helplessly, not bothering to argue with Kudo Nami. He knew this woman too well; she was just putting on an act.

With only two minutes left before the opening, Ye Ziye took her hand out of her pocket. She decided to wait until after get off work to deliver the items.

If we send it out now, those two girls will probably be amazed again, which will affect work efficiency. He has always been a model employee who loves and respects his work!

Time passed by, and the number of customers in the store gradually increased. Today, Hitomi Akiyama did not miss it and arrived at the pet cafe on time, still occupying the most advantageous position at the bar.

"Ye Zi-jun, I've missed you so much in three days!"

Seeing Ye Ziye come to work today, Akiyama Hitomi gave him a flirtatious wink without any restraint.

Ye Ziye was already used to it. Low-level flirting like throwing a wink couldn't sway him in the slightest. As long as they didn't make a move, he could basically handle it.

If he were to take matters into his own hands, it would be a completely different kind of accident. Ye Ziye wouldn't handle it on his own; instead, he would seek help from the righteous police officers.

"Here, take this. Open it when you get home."

Ye Ziye took out the little figure wrapped in a brocade pouch from his pocket and handed it to Akiyama Hitomi.

The reason for wrapping it in a brocade pouch was because he was afraid that Hitomi Akiyama would lose control of herself when she received the gift, and if she showed it off everywhere, he would lose control of the situation.

Why do you need to open it at home?

Akiyama Hitomi was very curious and stuck a finger in, eager to try it out, clearly not taking Ye Ziye's words to heart.

Ye Ziye showed no mercy, pulling Akiyama Hitomi's fingers out as if there was no room for negotiation.

"Sigh! It's rare for Ye Zi to be so domineering, so I'll listen to you. I'll open it and see what's inside when I get home. First, give me a milkshake; I got scolded by my boss today."

Hitomi Akiyama remembered that Yoko Yoru had said that eating sweets could increase happiness levels, and she did feel much better last time, so she was going to try it again this time.

Ye Ziye did not react. He felt deep sympathy for Akiyama Hitomi's plight, but that was the nature of society. It would be abnormal if everything went smoothly.

After all, not every boss is as carefree as Kudo Nami, and not every employee is as dedicated as him, or as cute and kind as Nakamura Nanami.

Ye Ziye felt that a pet cafe must be what modern-day companies consider the perfect enterprise, with a harmonious and pleasant internal environment.

He was absolutely convinced of this.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was time to leave work, and most of the customers had left the store.

Hitomi Akiyama listened to Ye Ziye's advice. Before leaving after finishing her milkshake, she did not unpack the brocade pouch but carefully put it in her bag.

However, less than three minutes after she left the store, Ye Ziye received a message from her.

Hitomi Akiyama: Thank you for the gift, Yoko-kun! I love it! (A photo of a kissing figurine)

Seeing the message, Ye Ziye smiled but didn't reply. He put away his phone and wrapped the figurines of Kudo Nami and Nakamura Nanami in a brocade pouch.

He'd already heard too many words of thanks today, so all he wanted now was to leave work quietly.

If the shop only had Nakamura Nanami, this cute little apprentice, it would be fine, but Kudo Nami is just too much of a hassle.

Nakamura Nanami's chibi character has a standard bright smile, is very cute and approachable, while Kudo Nami's character is depicted by Ye Ziye as someone reading a book.

He originally wanted to portray Nami Kudo tending to the flowers and plants, but that would have been too much trouble.

With a soft sigh, Ye Ziye walked up to the two of them.

"Here, take this. I'm going home now."

After saying that, Ye Ziye left without looking back, leaving Nakamura Nanami and Kudo Nami still in shock.
