"Ah, that's right..."

Even with a flawless expression management mask on, Yan Huan's forehead and back were already sweating uncontrollably,

"Bai Yi, you came at just the right time..."

"Huh?"

"Earlier, I called you and you didn't answer. I was looking for you for a long time, didn't expect you'd meet up with Sister Shiyu first."

Hearing this, Bai Yi, who was about to question why Yan Huan invited both her and Ye Shiyu, was suddenly taken aback.

"Call? Yan Huan, did you call me?"

"Yes, I did, but you didn't pick up."

Yan Huan nodded, looking at the princess handbag Bai Yi was holding, and immediately shouted in his mind,

"Meow-chan, quick! Steal her phone! Whether we survive this depends on you now!!"

"Meow!!"

Realizing the importance of the task, Meow-chan became serious too.

In an instant, it disappeared and when it reappeared, it was already holding Bai Yi's ultra-thin phone with a laced case in its mouth.

"How could this be, I clearly had the ringer on, why didn't I hear it ringing..."

Meanwhile, Bai Yi looked down to search her bag, wanting to check her phone.

But after rummaging through it a few times, she couldn't find the phone.

The bag was crammed with a cosmetic mirror, lipstick, foundation for touch-ups, tissues...

A lot of random stuff, so the missing phone didn't cause a noticeable change in weight.

"Hey, hey, hey? My... my phone is gone!"

That's it!

But on the surface, Yan Huan just sighed and suggested,

"How can this be, I thought you had it on silent. Anyway, since we're not familiar with the area, let's find a nearby police officer first."

"Uh... okay, okay."

Bai Yi swallowed and unconsciously agreed.

Ye Shiyu squinted slightly, just staring at Yan Huan's back without interrupting.

The tension that was about to erupt suddenly subsided...

But it definitely wasn't defused.

Everyone knew that if this situation wasn't explained clearly, it was only a matter of time before Yan Huan would have to completely concede and call it GG.

This only delayed the explosion, giving Yan Huan time and opportunity to defuse the bomb!

And this opportunity was right at...

...

...

Akihabara, police station.

Today Akihabara was especially crowded, with many foreign tourists among them, naturally leading to more incidents.

Things like lost wallets, missing children or relatives...

Plus, because foreigners were reporting, the procedures were complicated and the language barrier made the whole police station crowded.

There was no choice, so the police had to ask unrelated people to leave, only allowing the reporters and their close family members inside.

For example, right now, Bai Yi, who lost her phone, went inside to give a statement and describe the situation.

Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu waited outside.

Stare～

Ye Shiyu's gaze slid over, ethereal yet intense.

The pressure "whooshed" up instantly.

"..."

Luckily, he had an expression management mask, at least he didn't show any fear.

If he showed even a hint of a flaw, he'd immediately GG.

But fortunately, as long as the two of them were apart for a while, even if not for long, it was a lifeline for Yan Huan.

"Xiao..."

"Sister Shiyu, I'll go see how her statement is going, she'll be out soon."

"..."

Just as Ye Shiyu was about to ask, Yan Huan stood up with a smile and walked toward the police station.

He planned to defuse Bai Yi's bomb first.

Of course, as his words were interrupted and she watched Yan Huan "seemingly concerned" go to Bai Yi, Ye Shiyu's face became more expressionless...

As if it was welded onto her face.

Stare～

Feeling the gaze behind him, nearly palpable, Yan Huan quickly quickened his steps.

Come on, dead legs, hurry up!

"Clatter～"

"Excuse me, student, there are a lot of people inside the police station right now, unrelated persons please leave!"

As Yan Huan pushed the door open and walked into the recording and case registration area, a police officer immediately stood up to stop him.

At the side, Bai Yi was sitting and waiting, and upon hearing the voice, she saw Yan Huan coming in.

Feeling her gaze, Yan Huan took a deep breath, pointed to Bai Yi not far away, and smiled,

"I'm not unrelated, there's a very important girl to me here, I'm here to accompany her."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Bai Yi was slightly stunned, and her face immediately blushed.

However, because of makeup, it wasn't quite obvious.

One could only see her pupils quivering.

"Alright, go ahead."

"Okay, thank you."

After nodding and thanking, Yan Huan then turned and walked towards Bai Yi,

"How's the statement going?"

"Hmm... I told the officer the places I just walked through, and now they're checking the surveillance."

Feeling Yan Huan sit beside her, Bai Yi couldn't help but feel a bit cheerful.

But, thinking that he invited both her and Ye Shiyu, she couldn't help but sulk.

Hmph, what did that mean?

All dressed up, expecting something, but he also invited that Ye Shiyu?

Two girls, what kind of date is this!?

No matter how much I like him, I refuse to forgive this!!

"..."

Thinking this way, just about to smile, Bai Yi turned her mouth and didn't say anything more, even pretending to maintain some distance from Yan Huan.

"Wondering why I invited Sister Shiyu too?"

"...No, you can invite whoever you want. Anyway, before, you just said you wanted to hang out with me, I won't overthink it."

Hearing this, Bai Yi pretended not to care, just flicking her black hair and saying so.
