"It's really not! This morning, I came to the junior year section of the school to find Ye Shiyu, wanting to chat with her about An Le's outburst last week, and guess what! An Le was at the entrance of junior year Class A too, seemingly looking for Ye Shiyu as well!"

"...And then?"

"And then... she noticed me and surprisingly changed her target to chase after me! I ran all the way here!"

"..."

Sakuragi Hitomi squinted slightly, instantly extracting the key information from Bai Yi's few words.

It meant that An Le initially went to find Ye Shiyu, but upon seeing Bai Yi, she immediately changed her target.

So, in An Le's eyes, Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi are the same kind of enemies, which explains why last week she first attacked Ye Shiyu over milk tea and then beat up Bai Yi during the charity performance.

That An Le...

Since when did she become so fierce?

Sakuragi Hitomi instantly understood everything and even started speculating whether An Le had discovered their secret alliance, considering An Le was Spencer's best and only friend.

Otherwise, how would Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi, who are unrelated on the surface, be treated equally as enemies by An Le?

After thinking about all of this, Sakuragi Hitomi gave a disdainful laugh and said,

"So what does this have to do with me? When you two were contacting the President behind my back, did you not think of me? Yet now that An Le is chasing you, you think of me?"

"I..."

"Yan Huan, I'm here!"

Usually, having a common external enemy is the best way to unite rivals.

This is exactly the situation now.

Sakuragi Hitomi and Bai Yi hadn't even sorted things out when, from above, a lively voice came into their ears.

"Spencer?!"

Both of their faces changed simultaneously, looking up.

Spencer is back today?!

And she's calling out to President Yan Huan so enthusiastically?!

Hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi and Bai Yi exchanged looks and instantly set aside their conflicts, heading upstairs in unison.

Upon reaching the third floor, Spencer seemed to have entered a room with Yan Huan, so their conversation wasn't as clear as before when Spencer was in the hallway.

"Hehe, Yan... mom and I... so much... wow..."

"..."

Listening to the voices from the distant room, Sakuragi Hitomi swallowed and lightened her footsteps.

Bai Yi, however, didn't do the same but instead squeezed a hard watch-shaped object in her pocket.

"Croak~"

A weak toad's croak suddenly sounded, making Sakuragi Hitomi frown and glance at Bai Yi.

Why does Bai Yi have a toad's croak on her?

Is it an illusion?

"Tap tap tap..."

While Sakuragi Hitomi was momentarily in a daze, a series of footsteps echoed in the hallway again, making Bai Yi's face change drastically.

Could An Le be coming again?

She didn't dare to take a chance and quickly pulled Sakuragi Hitomi, dragging her petite form to a nearby corner to hide.

...

...

"Ahahaha, Yuanyue Academy, I, Aria Spencer, am back!"

In the vast activity room, Spencer stood on a discarded table with her hands on her hips, laughing loudly, her tiger teeth showing.

Underneath her jacket was a black sporty outfit, and standing up high, she had an air of a king returning, reminiscent of the crooked-mouthed Dragon King.

Yan Huan stood below watching her antics, not annoyed, but just leaning on a desk with a slight smile, asking,

"So, you came back but not to your class, instead asking me to come find you here?"

Upon hearing this, Spencer looked a bit embarrassed.

Initially, she planned to wait in class for Yan Huan and come here together later.

But thinking about An Le being in class, she didn't quite know how to face her, so she didn't return to class, choosing to come here first.

"I went out with mom and brought you a gift!"

"What is it?"

Spencer leaped down from the table and then pulled a box from her pocket.

Taking a look at it, Yan Huan saw "Linmen's Tribute" written in large characters on the box.

The handwriting was stylish and unusual.

"It's a pen mom got when dining at the President Residence. It should be very handy. I saw her leave it on the table, so I brought it for you."

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan's face turned black instantly.

Did you snatch something gifted to your mom by the Linmen President to let me use it, thinking my life is too long?

Yet, when looking into her clear sky-blue eyes, Yan Huan could only sigh slightly.

Spencer doesn't understand what it is, only knowing it's good and gave it to Yan Huan to use.

Spencer good, Yan Huan bad.

"I appreciate your thought, but I can't accept it. You should take it back to your mom."

Yan Huan smiled softly at Spencer and said,

"When we go to Ying Country, let's pick a gift for each other and exchange them?"

Spencer blinked and then laughed happily,

"Okay!"

"So, why did you ask me to come here?"

"Ah, well... it's to clarify the duties of the school counselor we spoke of before and to convey President Alvira's message, Yan."

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Huan turned to look behind, just in time to see Lady Heather walking into the classroom with a briefcase.

As she approached Yan Huan, Heather handed over a document.

Taking a look, Yan Huan saw it clearly outlined various tasks he needed to accomplish.

Including but not limited to supervising Spencer's participation in classes, formulating study plans, overseeing course completion, and providing extracurricular tutoring.

Private tutoring?

Hiss, this development...

Why does it feel like some unspeakable story of home tutors and cute students?

"..."

After a second's pause, Yan Huan snapped back from the gentlemanly garbage of his past life and asked Heather,

"So, what is President Alvira... Aunt trying to convey?"

Smiling slightly at his words, Heather said,

"No rush, Yan Huan.

Once everyone else has arrived, I will tell you all."

What?
