However, he didn't know if this promise would be fulfilled. Perhaps in the future he wouldn't need any help at all; it seemed enough for him to simply be the person who helped Yukino Yukinoshita.

Chapter 182

Yukino Shinobu seemed to have a lot of feelings today. Ye Ziye didn't know why. Perhaps the girl saw something from this incident, or perhaps there was some other reason.

There was one time he didn't expect it, just like the twinkling stars in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes, dazzling, but untouchable.

However, sometimes knowing everything isn't a good thing. Perhaps it's better to have things that others can't quite figure out in interpersonal relationships.

Ye Zijun came to this conclusion.

Both he and Yukino Yukinoshita are intelligent people who sometimes try to guess what others are thinking. After today, perhaps they won't.

But curiosity still lingered in his heart. He wanted to know why Yukino Yukinoshita had changed like this. Perhaps girls are sensitive and can see a lot in things that boys can't see through.

Yukino Yukinoshita stopped tiptoeing, ruffled Yoru's hair, and stood firmly on the ground, seemingly becoming the same person she used to be.

"The bow is crooked. As a host, you should still pay attention to your appearance."

Putting away her gentle yet unsettling smile, Yukino Yukinoshita then helped Yoru Yoh adjust her ribbon, which she had personally chosen and wanted to fix herself.

The movements were so familiar that Ye Ziye didn't feel anything was wrong, nor was she embarrassed about it, as if it were just an ordinary thing.

Just like Kato Megumi helping him fix his hair and put on his glasses, just like Artoria stepping on his toes to share her face wash with him.

Suddenly, Ye Ziye realized that she had thought a lot today, no less than Yukino Yukinoshita. Perhaps one person really can influence another.

Ye Ziye suddenly understood this principle.

Slowly, Yukino Yukinoshita had already helped him straighten his ribbon. She glanced at it with satisfaction, nodded in approval, and then gave him a gentle nudge.

"Alright, it should be your turn to go on stage soon."

"Yes, I'll be ready before our show starts. Remember to bring your violin, otherwise we'll have to go find it later."

After giving him a word of advice, Ye Ziye walked towards Fujiwara Chika's direction. However, he suddenly realized something: Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have never suspected him from beginning to end.

The girl believed that he could memorize all the words after reading them only once, that he could be competent as a host, and that he could successfully explain the cultural performance.

Without realizing it, the girl seemed to have placed a lot of trust in him.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think it through. Perhaps dealing with the immediate situation was the best option. He would do his job well and not let any girl down.

Perhaps this was a kind of destiny, because the injury of a stranger brought the girls together, and he had to bear all of this.

"Secretary Fujiwara, are you ready?"

Walking up to Fujiwara Chika, Ye Ziye asked a question.

Fujiwara Chika also let out a long breath, pursed her lips, nodded vigorously, and tried her best to relax.

This wasn't her first time hosting, but she had never been this nervous before.

She was still uncertain. She wanted to trust Ye Ziye, but her inner thoughts always seemed to lead her to the worst possible outcome.

But she didn't care. So what if she made a fool of herself on stage? With Ye Ziye by her side, she was happy and seemed indifferent.

That's just how humans are; two people are always more courageous than one.

This is especially true when the two people are a boy and a girl, and the boy makes the girl feel safe.

Ye Ziye and Fujiwara Chika stood on the steps. In two minutes, they would be able to go on stage for their first group activity.

Yukino Yukinoshita watched the two figures from behind, her eyes flickering, lost in thought, while Kaguya Shinomiya moved closer to her.

"You seem to trust Ye Zi a lot."

"Yes, don't you believe me?"

"I believe, just not as much as you do."

This was the first time these two had spoken in a casual, conversational manner. They seemed no different from anyone else; the other person wasn't more difficult to get along with, nor were their words any more offensive...

It's like two ordinary classmates chatting about an ordinary thing.

"I originally thought you would believe it too, after all, we are quite similar."

Yukino Yukinoshita stood with her hands on her hips, her expression returning to its aloofness, as if she had become detached from worldly affairs once again.

"That's true, but you seem to understand Ye Zi better and can guess what he's thinking, as if you have some kind of telepathic connection."

"It's not that exaggerated. Neither of us has any special abilities. We've just known each other for a long time."

After thinking for a moment, Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up and corrected the mistake.

"Actually, it hasn't been that long, about three months. It's not long, but it's definitely not short either. And the relationship between people can't be measured by time alone."

Kaguya Shinomiya maintained her professional smile and turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita.

In her memory, this girl wasn't a talkative person, but she didn't pay much attention. People change, and before, she wasn't a smiling person either.

Thinking back to when she first met Ye Ziye, the two of them were at odds, and she guessed that Yukino Yukinoshita was in a similar situation.

The three people have very similar personalities, so naturally they also have many points of conflict.

"Is that so...? Maybe I'll understand what you're saying once we've known each other for a longer time."

With a smile, Kaguya Shinomiya didn't speak again, but instead looked at the system in her mind. She felt that the main quest could begin.

Through recent observations, she realized that Ye Ziye was a very good person; at least, she had never had a male friend like him before.

Moreover, it seems that carrying out the main quest would be a very interesting thing. Although Ye Ziye is already very excellent, she feels that it is not enough.

However, she was also willing to groom Ye Ziye into a man worthy of her.

Of course, there is a prerequisite: the main quest must be completed passively. Ye Ziye must fall in love with her first and take the initiative to confess his feelings for the quest to be considered a perfect completion!

Chapter 183

Two minutes isn't a long time; normally, Fujiwara Chika would play a game for a while, and that time would pass quickly.

However, those two minutes seemed exceptionally long today. She was a little nervous, but when she realized that Ye Ziye was still beside her, she couldn't help but relax.

"Should we smile when we go on stage?"

As a novice, Ye Ziye felt he needed to ask. Although the hosts on TV were always smiling, things could be different, and he thought it best to ask a professional.

When asked the question, Fujiwara Chika froze for a moment, then recovered, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"No, we need to stay calm and not smile. After all, our duo is called the Cold-Faced Host Duo!"

It was a rather strange name, and it was given to her suddenly, but Ye Ziye didn't dislike it, and it was good that Fujiwara Chika wasn't nervous anymore.

"Let's go up on stage then."

"Ok!"

Fujiwara Chika nodded her head vigorously, tugged at Ye Ziye's sleeve, and then quickly let go. As an experienced person, she wanted to go on stage first.

In China, when organizing events like this, the principal and dean of students usually give a short talk first, followed by the student hosts.

However, this is not the custom in island nations. The chairman was sitting in the first row of the audience, surrounded by teachers from the school, occupying the best seats.

Ye Ziye followed Fujiwara Chika onto the stage to announce the program, feeling somewhat strange. It was the first time he had spoken in front of so many people, yet he felt no nervousness whatsoever.

When Fujiwara Chika went on stage, she also showed her professionalism by giving a smile, but it wasn't the silly kind of smile.

Of course, that's how it appears to others; it might be a girl's normal smile. But to Ye Ziye, it's still a silly smile.

There was nothing he could do; the impression Fujiwara Chika had left on him was too deep, and he could never change it.

However, when he saw Fujiwara Chika smile, he stopped being expressionless and forced a smile.

It might look ugly, but at least it's a smile.

At this point, the cold-faced hosting duo officially disbanded! They were replaced by the smiling hosting duo.

The first sentence was spoken by Fujiwara Chika, so Ye Ziye wasn't in a hurry. She began to look at the dark mass of people in front of her, which looked somewhat shocking.

The teachers in the first row all looked surprised when they saw that the host was Ye Ziye; they remembered that the host should be someone else.

Especially Hiratsuka Shizuka, Ye Ziye felt that she was about to come up on stage and question him, because the doubt was written all over her face.

Only a few teachers showed expressions of understanding and even breathed a sigh of relief; these were the teachers who knew the host was injured.

They had initially thought the cultural performance would be a disaster, but now that someone had stepped in, it was the best thing ever.

Ye Ziye and the others knew him and thought this was a backup plan, but little did they know that he was a hero who went on stage after only glancing at the script.

After looking at the teachers, he looked at the audience seats where the students were sitting, and immediately scanned the fifth row. He remembered that was the seat of Class B in the first grade. He had seen it when the class monitor came to draw lots.

At first glance, he immediately spotted Kato Megumi. The girl's presence was very faint, but for some reason, Ye Ziye was able to spot her accurately.

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm, with a hint of surprise, as if she didn't understand why Ye Ziye was hosting the show, since she hadn't received any information about it.

Seemingly noticing Ye Ziye's prying eyes, Kato Megumi secretly made a peace sign at him, which surprised him slightly.

He was observing very discreetly, but he was still discovered. This is probably the same principle as how he was able to spot Kato Megumi at first glance.

Then Ye Ziye looked at the seventh row, which was Artoria's class.

Similarly, he saw Artoria at first glance, but not because of his senses, but because the girl's blonde hair was so eye-catching that it shone under the light, making it hard not to notice her.

Artoria's intuition has always been excellent, and she immediately noticed Ye Ziye's spying, openly encouraging him.

As for why Ye Ziye suddenly became a host, she didn't care.

All she knew was that Ye Ziye had said he would put on a good show, and all she had to do was watch.

Fujiwara Chika finally finished speaking, and Ye Ziye also withdrew his gaze and immediately picked up the conversation. He could feel the girl beside him just letting out a sigh of relief.

This skill came a little late, but it doesn't matter, since Ye Ziye has already memorized all the lines anyway.

The audience consisted of teachers and students who came to watch the spectacle; there were no professionals among them. Therefore, he didn't need to be too expressive; he could simply recite his lines in the manner of Fujiwara Chika.

Suddenly, Ye Ziye realized that hosting wasn't so difficult after all.

After saying a lot of random things, Fujiwara Chika announced the name of the first program, and then the two of them came down. It was time for the performance.

The first performance was a dance, and it was all girls. Of course, they couldn't perform anything too provocative in school, but as long as they were all pretty girls, that was enough. The first performance was just to warm up the crowd.

This isn't a competition, so there's no scoring system. The people on stage perform, and the people in the audience just watch.

However, he and Fujiwara Chika were standing on the steps and couldn't see what was happening on stage. They could only see beautiful girls passing by, and then the stage shook.

Most of the girls on the first show were senior high school students, and some of them boldly winked at Ye Ziye, their flirtatious intentions obvious.
