Fujiwara Chika is quite different. Despite being a silly and cheerful girl, she is now saying things that are not in line with her personality because she is truly moved.

"Please don't talk like that anymore, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Ye Ziye bluntly stated that although Fujiwara Chika could be troublesome in her usual way, he genuinely preferred that version of her.

"What?! Do you expect me to be as gentle as the female lead in an idol drama?!"

Fujiwara Chika pouted indignantly. She felt that Ye Ziye was like the male lead in an idol drama, who would appear in time when the female lead needed help, putting everyone at ease.

But she wasn't sure if she was actually the female lead.

"Ye Zi Jun, what are you still doing here?"

A familiar voice rang out, and the three members of the student council all turned around. The people who came were Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama.

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita appeared without makeup, looking pure and beautiful, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs. Ye Ziye thought that perhaps this girl was at her most perfect without makeup.

As for Yui Yuigahama, she no longer looked guilty as before and became lively again. After asking Ye Ziye, she saw Fujiwara Chika and her eyes lit up.

"Chika, you're here too. Weren't you going to host the show?"

Ye Ziye observed silently from the side. Sure enough, girls with similar cheerful personalities are easy to get along with. Fujiwara Chika and Yui Yui had probably only known each other for less than a week, but they were already calling each other by their first names.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

The two girls knew each other well, after all, they had been classmates for ten years, although they hadn't spoken much during those ten years.

When Kaguya Shinomiya saw Yukino Yukinoshita, a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.

After all, Yukino's beauty is the kind that would make any girl's heart flutter, and Kaguya Shinomiya, who has always regarded her as a rival, felt that she had lost out in terms of appearance today.

She and Kaguya Shinomiya are equally beautiful, but clothes make the man, and her school uniform is indeed inferior to Kaguya's formal dress.

However, in some ways, the two are quite similar; as women, neither should look down on the other.

Upon seeing her friend, Fujiwara Chika seemed to be in a much better mood. She walked over to Yuigahama Yui and took her hand.

As a big mouth, she naturally couldn't keep what had just happened to herself. After all, it was a frustrating thing. Although Ye Ziye made her feel much better, she still wanted to vent.

Students were already pouring into the auditorium. The members of the Service Department and the Student Council did not stay openly in the hall, but consciously retreated to the backstage area.

As Fujiwara Chika walked, she spoke with great emotion, while Yui Yuigahama listened attentively, occasionally showing a sympathetic expression and nodding in agreement.

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed quite interested in this matter as well, listening quietly from the side and walking at the very back. When she heard the key part, she looked at Yoko with a strange gaze.

She knew Ye Ziye's character well; like her, he didn't like to meddle in other people's business unless it was something he had entrusted to him.

But at this moment, Ye Ziye took this responsibility upon herself, and she didn't seem too surprised, as if it was the natural thing to do.

Over the course of several months, Yukino Yukinoshita's opinion of Yoru has changed dramatically, though she hasn't fully realized it yet.

"Chika, this is so painful! That person was suddenly injured, but thankfully there's Yezi-kun, he'll definitely help you!"

"Hmm! I believe you... Wait, you know him?"

Fujiwara Chika nodded firmly at first, then turned to look puzzled. She was unaware that Ye Ziye and Yui Yuigahama knew each other.

"Of course we know each other, we're both in the Service Club! But according to Ye Zi-kun, he's only half a member, but we still know each other and have even gone out together!"

Yui Yui never disliked explaining the relationship, and besides, she quite admired Yoko Yoru for standing up at such a crucial moment.

Although she knew Ye Ziye was very smart, she didn't believe he could memorize all the lines after only reading them once.

However, as a girl, Ye Ziye (bceb)'s behavior of not letting girls face everything alone scored very high in her heart, and for some reason, she could feel a bit of romance.

"Oh, I see. So Yoko has a club. I always thought he only had me and Kaguya as friends..."

"I'm the one who helped you out, so watch your words..."

Ye Ziye muttered a complaint to himself, but as usual, it didn't attract much attention and was indirectly ignored.

"No, no, Ye Zi also has me and Xiao Xue as friends. By the way, he is also very good friends with Kato from the same class and Altria from Class D."

As Yui Hibin started counting on her fingers, she suddenly discovered a terrifying fact: Ye Ziye seemed to be surrounded by cute girls, and he basically had no male friends.

Is it really as Yukino Yukinoshita said, that Yoko Yoh's face can irresistibly seduce girls?

Yui Yuigahama glanced at it twice, then quickly looked away, deciding that she couldn't keep secretly looking like a lovesick girl anymore. She didn't want to get caught up in it and had to maintain a girl's composure.

"I see... Yezi always bullies me and says really hurtful things to me when we're in the student council. I thought he was unpopular with girls, but I didn't expect him to be so popular..."

Listening to Fujiwara Chika's words, Ye Ziye was speechless. This girl's thought process was indeed very peculiar. She was just thanking him a moment ago, but now she has changed back to her old ways.

But that's fine, it won't change anything. He still prefers the old Fujiwara Chika.

Fujiwara Chika stroked her chin, seemingly deep in thought, then let out a long sigh and spoke.

"But this is quite normal, after all, Ye Zi is a good person and makes people feel very safe, so it's not strange that he has female friends."

Actually, the purpose of ten updates is not only to give back to the readers, but also to get recommendations so that more people can see the book and achieve better results.

This book has already had four instances of ten chapters, but each time the results were not good. The number of readers did not increase at all, as if it was a waste of time. In fact, the number of readers would even decrease the next day.

I can't possibly update ten chapters every day to maintain this pace. How should I put it? Slice-of-life novels are probably like this; they're ultimately a niche genre with no future. My editor didn't recommend that I write slice-of-life novels again, but I did anyway, hoping for a good outcome, but it seems that's not the case now.

If this ten updates are as useless as last time, I don't know what to do. Updates will definitely decrease gradually, and I can't keep doing useless work.

Finally, I still hope everyone will continue to support me. If you have friends who like this type of novel, please recommend it to them. The current results are truly appalling, declining every day. If this continues, I don't know what to do or how to persevere.

These are all heartfelt words. Finally, look forward to ten updates today; this might be the last one.

Chapter 181

Fujiwara Chika's last words put Ye Ziye at ease. Although he had been inexplicably given a "friend card," it was better than nothing.

He did this not expecting any reward from Fujiwara Chika, but simply hoping that every girl would have no regrets in this cultural performance.

Seeing the two fangirls with hair who were chatting, Ye Ziye didn't disturb them.

Let Fujiwara Chika relax for this last moment. When she goes on stage, she'll probably get nervous again and won't have such a bright smile.

Ye Ziye let out a long breath and glanced at the time. There were still ten minutes left before the start, and judging from the sounds outside, all the classes had probably arrived by now.

As he considered what expression to use when he went on stage, Yukino Yukinoshita secretly came to his side and said...

"Ye Zi, thank you so much for your help this time."

"Why are you thanking me? It all happened a week ago. Isn't it a bit late to thank me now?"

Ye Ziye was a little confused because Yukino Yukinoshita's words were not easy to understand.

"It's not because of the request. I understand that you usually agree to my requests. What I really want to thank you for is for helping Fujiwara-kun."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips slightly, her tone soft and gentle, giving off a girlish vibe.

"Do you know Secretary Fujiwara? Because she came to thank me."

Looking at Fujiwara Chika and then at Yukino Yukinoshita, Ye Ziye felt that the two of them were not really friends, as their personalities were very different.

"I know Fujiwara-san, but we're not friends and have never spoken. I want to thank you for standing up for us at this crucial moment, allowing the cultural performance to proceed smoothly and enabling the Service Club's request to be fulfilled successfully."

Yukino's eyes are bright and gentle, captivating those who look into them. Ye Ziye understood that this girl had noticed that part of the reason he made this decision was for her.

If it were anyone else, this would definitely be considered a narcissistic thought, but Yukino Yukinoshita is different; once this girl sets her mind on something, she is always so certain of it.

And that's true. He did it for Yukino Yukinoshita, but not entirely for Yukino Yukinoshita; he did it for many people.

For the sake of Fujiwara Chika, I didn't want this lovely girl to be embarrassed alone on stage.

For Kaguya Shinomiya's sake, I don't want all the hard work this girl has done to be wasted.

For the sake of Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yui of the Service Club, I don't want the request to fail, nor do I want the two girls' efforts to be in vain.

Even for Kato Megumi and Artoria, Ye Ziye promised them that she would perform well on stage, but if there was a problem in the first step, then there would be no point in talking about the rest.

Ye Ziye has connected with so many people that he himself is somewhat surprised, because he doesn't even know when he has become connected with so many people.

His life seems less mundane now, but he still has to do mundane things like teaching, cooking, and feeding the cat every day.

It seems he hasn't escaped the essence of ordinariness yet. The reason he feels that life is no longer ordinary might be because he is no longer alone.

He can still remain aloof from matters that don't concern him, but sometimes he can't stay out of trouble and needs to step forward and take responsibility.

Ye Ziye doesn't think he has a sense of responsibility because no one has ever taught him that in his life; he believes in rules.

But what you don't know, you have to learn eventually. With a level 5 learning skill, he might not be able to avoid learning it even if he wanted to.

"Maybe so. You're right. Part of the reason I'm going up there to be the host is for you."

Ye Ziye wasn't ashamed to admit it; that wasn't his personality. He did what he said, and he didn't do what he didn't do. That was just who he was.

"I know, so thank you. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help."

Yukino Yukinoshita's tone remained gentle, her face slightly flushed, her head lowered, lost in thought. Perhaps beautiful girls always have worries that ordinary people can't imagine.

“It’s okay. Everyone has moments of weakness. It’s not a good thing for a girl to always be at the forefront. Sometimes she has to be an observer.”

Ye Ziye checked the time; in five minutes, he would be starting his first job as a host.

Perhaps it really was destined. Fujiwara Chika had jokingly suggested that he become a host, but he refused because he thought it was too much trouble.

Both of them knew it was nothing, and no one would take it seriously, but in the end, he actually became the host, Fujiwara Chika's partner.

“What you said makes sense, but I don’t agree. No matter what, I will always be at the forefront, but I hope you will be by my side to help me.”

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled, a smile that was exceptionally beautiful, as if the girl were truly unreal. Ye Ziye was also taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"I will be there to help you whenever you need me. That's what I promised, and I won't go back on my word."

"Thank you, and I believe you won't break your promise."

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head, lost in thought. Her eyes held a myriad of stars, but Yoko could only see the brightest ones.

He didn't know what that meant.

With a slight smile, Yukino Yukinoshita took another step forward, leaned close to Yoru's ear, and whispered...

“I’m sorry I’m late this time, but next time, I hope you’ll come to me for advice no matter what happens. I also want to help you.”

The girl's voice was very soft, and the breath she exhaled had a special warmth.

Ye Ziye had always thought that the spring breeze was the most comfortable thing in the world, but now it seems that it can only rank second.

Sometimes, humans are indeed better than nature; they don't always fail.

"I will. I'll ask you for help with anything I can't do."

Ye Ziye once made a promise to Yukino Yukinoshita, the first time he had done so for the same person.
