However, just as he boarded the tram for his return journey, his phone rang. It was a message from both girls.
The same words of thanks were accompanied by the same photos. The two women posted the same photo, both smiling brightly, making a cliché peace sign with one hand and holding a small figurine in the other.
Looking at the two photos, Ye Ziye smiled, then put away her phone and looked out at the brightly lit Tokyo.
In this city where everyone is busy making a living, he had another pretty good, even great day, and Ye Zijun, who is easily satisfied, was very happy.
Chapter 154
Thursday, June 4th, cloudy.
Nothing unexpected happened today, and Ye Ziye woke up naturally. However, the dampness in the room made him a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have to worry about the walls getting moldy.
Fortunately, the rainy season will soon be over, but it will be replaced by the scorching sun of July and August.
Sometimes Ye Ziye feels sorry for the people of the island nation, having to survive in such a difficult environment, but now it seems that he is also the one who needs to be pitied.
After getting up and confirming that it wasn't raining outside, Ye Ziye breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just cloudy, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Although his mood is affected by the weather, the impact is not significant, and he does not have the strange ailment of experiencing leg and neck pain on cloudy days.
Ye Ziye spread the quilt out neatly on the bed, got dressed, and left the room. It was evening when she returned.
In the living room, Artoria sat on the sofa. Today, unusually, she didn't go to exercise. Instead, she held Garfield and watched a movie early in the morning.
The movie playing on TV was called King Arthur, which was Artoria's favorite movie, and this was the fifth time Ye Ziye had seen her watch it.
The girl believed everything the movie told her and would watch it whenever she was in a bad mood or feeling anxious.
"Saber, good morning."
Artoria, who usually has excellent perception, did not notice him. As a friendly roommate, Ye Ziye chose to take the initiative to greet him.
"Oh... Good morning, Yezi..."
After nodding, Ye Ziye walked towards the kitchen. He knew why Artoria had become like this—because today was a special day.
Results release date.
This is an essential activity after the exam. All students' names will appear in the corridor, allowing them to clearly see their scores and rankings.
In this situation, if you don't do well on the exam and are also very thin-skinned, it's undoubtedly a public execution.
Although I comforted Artoria a few days ago, the girl was clearly still uneasy and worried about what might happen today.
According to Artoria, if one does not do well on the exam, it would be an insult to the king's dignity.
Ye Ziye didn't know how to comfort her, but since Artoria loved to eat so much, she decided to make her a delicious breakfast, hoping it would put the girl at ease.
This morning, Artoria unusually did not go to the kitchen to "help," and instead sat on the sofa watching King Arthur for peace of mind, believing that her ancestors would surely bless her!
In the kitchen, Ye Ziye listened to the prayers coming from the living room and couldn't help but smile. It wasn't bad to see Artoria like this once in a while.
It has to be said that exams are indeed a nightmare for all students; before the results are released, they are always anxious.
However, Ye Ziye was an exception. He had absolute confidence in himself. Except for Chinese, he should have gotten full marks in all other subjects. If he wasn't number one, then it would be a bit unreasonable.
However, he then thought that if he got first place, Hiratsuka Shizuka would be very happy, drag him to show off to others, and then ruffle his hair.
He could actually resist if he wanted to, as his fighting strength far surpasses that of Hiratsuka Shizuka, but he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on his own teacher.
Banishing the impolite thought from her mind, Ye Ziye brought the two of them breakfast to the living room.
At this moment, Artoria had changed her way of praying. Since the King Arthur episode on TV had finished, she was now holding the little figurine that Ye Ziye had given her a few days ago, muttering incantations as if she were saying something strange.
"Saber, come and eat."
"Ah."
Hearing Ye Ziye's call, Artoria put down the little figure in her hand. Her cute face was still a little uneasy, but after seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, her expression became happy again.
"Ye Zi, why did you eat so well this morning?"
This question is somewhat naive, at least that's what Ye Ziye thinks. It feels like a little girl suddenly seeing a delicious dish she doesn't usually see.
Ye Ziye felt that she hadn't been neglecting Altria usually; perhaps it was just that breakfasts hadn't been very plentiful before.
"Because the results are being announced today, and seeing you like this, I wanted to help you calm down."
He lacked the awareness to do good deeds anonymously; he simply accepted what was right and wrong, which was his code of conduct.
Just like the charity event that Kudo Nami organized before, he wouldn't take all the credit for that event himself, and the lavish breakfast this morning was indeed made with good intentions.
"I see... Thank you, Yezi!"
After thanking Ye Ziye, Artoria thanked the food provider and then started eating, her face full of satisfaction, the worry she had shown earlier completely gone.
This girl was so easy to deal with. Ye Ziye felt that he had found the secret to being invincible in cohabitation. However, Artoria was not an enemy.
After finishing their meal, Ye Ziye went into the bathroom first to brush her teeth and wash her face, while Artoria put the bowl in the kitchen before coming over.
"Ye Zi, I feel confident that I'll do well on the exam now!"
"That's good..."
Seeing Artoria's inexplicable confidence, Ye Ziye didn't discourage her. He continued brushing his teeth silently, thinking about how to avoid having his hair ruffled by Hiratsuka Shizuka.
But after thinking it over and over, he still couldn't find a decent solution. With a sigh, Ye Ziye chose to give up. He figured that if he could get through the first time, he probably wouldn't have to do it again.
Seeing Ye Ziye sigh inexplicably, Artoria couldn't help but ask.
"Ye Zi, are you worried about not doing well on the exam? Don't worry! We can both do well, Qing!"
After a word of encouragement, Artoria continued brushing her teeth, her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing up and down, seemingly in a much better mood.
Ye Ziye remained silent; Artoria could not comprehend his pain.
Sometimes he wished he could grow a cowlick like Artoria, but as it turned out, he didn't have the qualifications to become a "king".
While observing the structure of her ahoge (cowlick) and brushing her teeth, Ye Ziye ended her less-than-pleasant morning.
Chapter 155
After brushing their teeth, Ye Ziye and Artoria set off for school together as usual, but this time neither of them went inside.
Artoria was superstitious and firmly believed that after suffering, she would surely see the light.
So she decided to ride around the school twice before going in, hoping it would improve her grades.
Ye Ziye strongly discouraged such feudal superstitions, so they didn't go together. Besides, was walking around the school twice really a hardship for Altria?
Watching Artoria ride away on her bicycle, Ye Ziye shook his head and walked into the school on his own.
I parked my bicycle as usual, walked into the teaching building as usual, changed my shoes in the entrance hall as usual, and tidied up the love letters that had been added to my shoe cabinet as usual.
However, something unusual happened this morning: he actually saw Yukino Yukinoshita in the entrance hall.
This extremely beautiful girl was also changing her shoes, and without any hesitation, she threw all the love letters in the shoe cabinet into the trash can, making the girl next to her envious and jealous.
Yukino Yukinoshita was holding a cell phone with a small figurine of Yoko Yoru hanging on it, swaying back and forth, making it quite eye-catching.
However, given the girl's aloof demeanor, no one dared to approach her to see what the little figure actually was.
After changing into indoor shoes, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to notice Yoru Yo. She stood there for a moment before quietly putting her phone into her bag.
"Good morning."
"Good morning. We've been staring at each other for a minute now, isn't it a bit late to say this?"
Ye Ziye didn't hesitate to make a sarcastic remark. He had also noticed Yukino Yukinoshita's little actions and didn't quite understand her inexplicable pride, even though she had expressed her feelings for him so clearly that day.
"I thought you would be very polite and speak first."
Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head away, denying Yoko Yo's comment.
Ye Ziye didn't want to argue with Yukino Yukinoshita in the early morning, as that would be too tiring and harmful to his health. He preferred to spend his mornings peacefully and uneventfully.
"Ye Zi, the results will be announced at noon today. How are you feeling?"
"Didn't I say before that I'd be number one?"
Ye Ziye was very confident and made arrogant remarks in front of the former top two students of Shuchiin Academy, which made Yukino Yukinoshita roll her eyes.
"Bragging."
"You'll find out by noon."
Ye Ziye neatly placed the shoes in the shoe cabinet, not wanting to discuss grades with Yukino Yukinoshita.
He knew how important grades were to Yukino Yukinoshita, after all, the first year of high school was dominated by her and Kaguya Shinomiya.
The two girls hadn't spoken much, but they were both very competitive, and their grades were the best indicator of their abilities, so it was normal for Yukino Yukinoshita to be concerned about her grades now.
However, today, Yukino Yukinoshita and Kaguya Shinomiya will be disappointed, as the first place goes to Yoko Yo.
For some inexplicable reason, Ye Ziye felt a surge of pride in being a smart person, but he quickly banished this slightly impolite thought from his mind.
"I go first."
After waving to Yukino Yukinoshita, Yoko Yoru chose to return to his classroom.
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, naturally scoffing at Ye Ziye's words. In her opinion, the first place would still be decided between her and Kaguya Shinomiya.
This time, however, she wanted it to be her own turn. She hadn't been this competitive before, but this time, she didn't want to be second to anyone.
Class 1B.
The atmosphere in the class was a bit restless because the results would be announced at noon. You see, most of the students here are from wealthy families. Their parents send them here hoping that their children will become successful.
Most students' grades are tied to their allowance, and given this delicate relationship, it's not surprising that these students are emotionally agitated.
It's a pity that Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't in the classroom, otherwise she could definitely have kept the situation under control.
Even in the noisy classroom, there were a few normal people, such as Kato Megumi, a girl who was always plain and unremarkable.
Or perhaps, the week of studying before the exam boosted the girl's confidence to an all-time high. Kato Megumi had a faint smile on her face, looking relaxed and even more beautiful.
It's just that not many people appreciate such a beautiful girl.
"Good morning, Kato."
Good morning, Yezi.
Kato Megumi greeted her with a smile, putting away her novel. Under Ye Ziye's guidance, she had become a staunch novel enthusiast.
Nodding, Ye Ziye calmly sat down in his seat, and as he looked at Kato Megumi, a line of poetry involuntarily came to mind.
"Like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally beautiful without any artifice."
