"Um, Xiao Huan, they are... taking pictures of me."

I see you're taking pictures of them!

Taking memorial photos!

Yan Huan swallowed hard, then looked at Bai Yi who was holding up a pocket watch.

At first, Bai Yi glanced at her pocket watch, then incredulously at the three people in front of her.

Come on, you've all said your piece, so why am I just holding up this watch?

The other three didn't say a word and just let Bai Yi improvise freely.

"..."

Feeling Yan Huan's gaze, Bai Yi's forehead broke out in a fine sweat,

"I... I just came over to take a look... to visit people... haha..."

"..."

What kind of excuse is that?

Seeing that Bai Yi's reason was a bit far-fetched, Ye Shiyu and Sakuragi Hitomi glared at her, making her feel unjustly accused.

You all make up excuses thinking only about yourselves, not about me, yet when I come up with one, you're dissatisfied!

Hmph!

This excuse obviously needs a lot more detail to be believable.

For example, you and An Le don't even have a good relationship, so why would you randomly invite her down for photos?

Ye Shiyu wasn't good with words, and Bai Yi... well, she was a bit too nervous.

So, it had to be up to Sakuragi Hitomi to keep spinning the story.

Seeing the situation, An Le's eyes squinted slightly, and she blushed and smiled shyly at Yan Huan,

"Xiao Huan, it was Vice President Sakuragi who invited me down to join the study group.

"Her mom said the more people helping Spencer, the better. I also had a good relationship with Spencer before, so they wanted me to help...

"I wanted to get along and make more friends with them, so I asked them to help take pictures of me."

As soon as she said that, everyone else was dumbfounded.

An Le, she just turned the situation to her advantage!

Mainly, no one else knew An Le was present the day the study group members were finalized.

So, nobody knew how she could accurately repeat the words Sakuragi Yuri had actually said.

The other three, especially Sakuragi Hitomi, secretly wondered:

Did my mom really invite this grim reaper in private?

Only Yan Huan, who was familiar with An Le, realized she was lying.

Because whenever she lied, she would get embarrassed and show this characteristic awkward smile.

In other words, she knew that in the following days they would leave the group, not staying with the main group.

She took advantage of Sakuragi Hitomi's lie to join the study group!

The other three girls exchanged glances, Ye Shiyu frowned, while Bai Yi shook her head frantically at Sakuragi Hitomi.

Meaning:

Don't agree! If it doesn't work out, then don't lie!

And on Yan Huan's side, she was also considering rejecting An Le.

Because if An Le joined, fights would break out every day.

They had to be separated to have a chance at getting things done.

Thinking of this, Yan Huan planned to refuse by using Spencer as an excuse...

"That's indeed the case. Mom has agreed to let An Le come with us to our house later,"

At this moment, meeting two people's gazes, Sakuragi Hitomi, who had been pondering for a while, suddenly spoke up.

"??"

What Yan Huan wanted to say was effectively blocked, so she immediately looked at Sakuragi Hitomi.

The other three, Ye Shiyu furrowed her brow, and Bai Yi seemed about to faint.

Even An Le was surprised as she looked at Sakuragi Hitomi, unsure of what she was planning.

But obviously, there was no chance to ask in front of Yan Huan.

"By the way..."

After saying this, Sakuragi Hitomi took a breath and suddenly thought of something, looking at the doorway at Yan Huan,

"Isn't this the girls' floor? President, how did you... come here?"

Yeah, why was Yan Huan here?

Hearing this, Yan Huan was stunned, and without blushing or stammering, prepared to make up a random excuse.

Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor,

"Not good, President! Quick... escape!"

"The Discipline Committee Chairman found us! They're chasing us!"

"President, have you delivered the bonding gift yet? Who are you giving it to? Hurry, finish and let's sneak out through that emergency exit!"

Yan Huan widened her eyes as several boys, including Yahashiki, rushed over, urging Yan Huan in panic.

However, as they got closer, they suddenly noticed the door in front of Yan Huan was open!

The boys were stunned and peeked into the room.

The Four Heavenly Kings!

"Hiss!!"

Oh no, scared me to death!

With just one glance, the boys were so frightened by the terrifying atmosphere inside that they shrank back, not daring to look again.

And Yan Huan was already dumbfounded...

Because, the moment they spoke, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

Oh right, the legend of the bonding during the retreat!

In ten days, as long as you give a "special someone" a gift every day when the retreat ends, you will definitely bond!

The four girls in the room remembered this legend and immediately looked towards Yan Huan's hand.

And just perfectly...

He happened to be holding a gift bag meant for Tong Yingying!

Upon seeing that shopping bag, Sakuragi Hitomi, Ye Shiyu, and Bai Yi's eyes all changed.

"President, you... were planning to come up to deliver a bonding gift..."

"Well... this rule is a bit... unreasonable, making Yan Huan sneak up here..."

"Xiao Huan..."

In the room, Sakuragi Hitomi and Bai Yi's faces were slightly flushed, Ye Shiyu's eyes blinked, clearly embarrassed.

Only An Le pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed slightly.

Because she didn't live on this floor.

Xiao Huan didn't know about the fights between her and the three girls, so coming here must have been for a female living here.

Sakuragi Hitomi lived in this room, Bai Yi and Ye Shiyu lived next door, and beyond that was an empty single room.

No one else...

So, the gift recipient had to be one among them, unrelated to her.

She swallowed hard but didn't say anything to spoil the mood, just stayed silent, waiting for Yan Huan's answer.

The three of them exchanged glances and also looked at Yan Huan simultaneously,

"So, President... who's your bonding gift intended for?"

"Meow?"

In the room, the oppressive aura was overwhelming, causing the cat picking up the shattered pieces on the ground to cower its tail and look back at Yan Huan.

"..."

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Yan Huan was overwhelmed.

No wait, I came here to save you,

How did it suddenly turn into them wanting to kill me?!

Is this right?

Yan Huan's eyes rolled back, almost collapsing peacefully backward.

But just as he slightly tilted, a hand propped him up from behind...

Hiss...

Could it be, a rescuer has come?!

Yan Huan opened his eyes and turned to see his savior.

And he saw Yahashiki's face staring back at him.

Thinking back, it seemed like he was the first to ask if he had delivered the gift.

"..."

Looking at Yahashiki, Yan Huan bit his lip and raised his fist.

Yahashiki gently pressed down Yan Huan's fist, then raised his other hand...

He gave Yan Huan a thumbs up.
