"Sip..."

"Stare~"

In the Yuanyue Academy cafeteria, at a table in the corner, Yan Huan was sipping apple juice.

And opposite him, Yuanlina just stared dead at the paper carton in his hand as it gradually became shriveled.

She crossed her arms, pouting and looking sulkily frustrated.

"Stare~"

Yahashiki, who was eating his meal, glanced at Yan Huan next to him and then at Yuanlina across from him, and couldn’t help asking,

"What’s up with her today, why does she look so odd?"

Ashley, who was eating across from them, chuckled without even lifting her head,

"What else could it be? Bombed the exam."

"Stare~"

Yuanlina’s resentful gaze immediately swept towards Yahashiki, which made him unconsciously slow down his chewing.

"It’s just an inaugural exam, it doesn’t count towards our GPA, the director of studies said to take it as a wake-up call."

Unable to withstand Yuanlina’s resentful stare, Yahashiki spoke up to comfort her,

"Look, the last-placed student got 66 points, it’s pitiful. You scored more than six times her score, that’s pretty strong, right?"

"It’s not because I bombed the exam!"

With a sniff, Yuanlina lightly tapped on the table, adopting an "I’m going to hold everyone accountable" demeanor, teeming with grievance,

"Whose fault is it that things turned out this way? What did we all say in the group chat during the winter break?!"

Her sharp eyes first landed on Yan Huan.

"President! You start!!"

Yan Huan remained calm amidst the chaos, smiling as he spoke,

"Yuanlina, you know me, I have to work part-time in my spare time. I worked an extra temp job over the winter holiday, remember you bought milk tea from my shop? I had no time to review."

Yuanlina pursed her lips and looked towards Sakuragi Hitomi.

And she, elegantly wiping her lipstick, said to Yuanlina,

"You know me as well, I just adopted a new Maine Coon, the one named Mizuki. You’ve also come to my house to pet her before, right? She’s been in poor health, and I spent the whole holiday taking care of her, I didn’t review at all."

Sakuragi Hitomi, like a sly fox, had her manner of speaking already led astray by Yan Huan.

Yuanlina pursed her lips again and looked towards Yahashiki.

Without hesitation, the accountant Yahashiki raised his hand to answer promptly,

"Secretary, you should understand me too, I’m all about otaku life, grinding for resources in mobile games every day, spending money on virtual wives, I’m always online when you ask me to play, I’ve never flipped through the books."

Finally, Yuanlina’s gaze fell on Ashley beside her.

But Ashley looked back at her with an even more fearsome gaze, saying expressionlessly,

"Are you serious? I was the one in the group chat who mentioned the new semester exam, suggesting it’s best if we review. They all said they were too busy to review, you didn’t respond, and you kept trying to hang out with them privately..."

"Wahhh, I see it now, you all have special talents! I’m the only fool, I’m the lazy one... Wahhhhh..."

She burst into uncontrollable tears, wanting to throw herself into Ashley’s arms, but Ashley pushed her away with her hand, bouncing her right into Sakuragi Hitomi’s embrace.

"Thud!"

Her chest flat, with almost no cushion, it made her head hurt.

"Ouch!"

Then, Yuanlina cried even louder,

"No, please! Wahhh, I don’t want to be the mascot for the student council! I want to become a study whiz too! President, Sakuragi, Yahashiki, please help me!!"

Sakuragi Hitomi gently patted her back, allowing her to burrow tumultuously in her embrace.

Next to her, Ashley had a vein popping on her forehead, forcing a smile through gritted teeth,

"So, when asking for help, you left me out, huh? Somehow, it’s a bit annoying..."

Yahashiki pondered for a moment and then said to Yuanlina,

"This morning, the President was talking about restarting the study group, to force those falling behind to join. We’ve discussed it and decided to take charge of this, do you want to join Yuanlina?"

Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi was taken aback, her hold on Yuanlina inadvertently tightening a bit.

But outwardly, she simply asked with natural confusion,

"Has the President already discussed it with Yahashiki? Don’t you need my help?"

What does this mean?

Does this mean I have to study with that Spencer?

What if sparks of love fly then?

So the study group turns into a matchmaking session, huh?!

Sakuragi Hitomi had already instinctively excluded everyone else, sensing the urgency of the situation.

Yan Huan smiled slightly, explaining,

"Ah, because this matter is quite troublesome... Yahashiki and I could really use the summer corporate learning opportunity, especially since the Golden Lion Group is very famous."

Actually, the main reason was that Spencer’s modifier was quite peculiar. At that time, his own thoughts had been curiously affected, and he wasn’t sure if it would have the same effect on Sakuragi Hitomi.

He didn’t know what role the victims would play in her modifier; after all, there were quite a few types.

For Sakuragi’s safety and to make things easier for himself, Yan Huan decided not to involve her.

"You don’t need this kind of thing anyways, Sakuragi, why bother with the extra effort..."

"It’s okay~"

Sakuragi Hitomi brightened up with a smile, causing Yuanlina to lift her head in surprise from her embrace.

Because she suddenly felt the temperature in Sakuragi Hitomi’s embrace drop sharply,

"It just so happens that I’ve come up with a series of methods to help those falling behind improve their grades, we might as well give them a try to see how effective they are."

Sakuragi Hitomi parted her lips slightly, saying with an inner purpose of "destroy that Spencer,"

"Two full sets of exam papers for every subject every day, ten pages of math workbook problems, ten practice essays, ten reading comprehension exercises, recitation of sociology knowledge for random inspections, and then..."

Whether or not Spencer would feel defeated was still uncertain, but at that moment Yuanlina turned increasingly pale with fear, struggling in Sakuragi Hitomi’s arms.
