Chapter 582 - 161. A phone call
Sunday, afternoon, Yuanyue Academy.
"Ah, it’s really starting to warm up lately, even the sunlight has become glaring."
"It’s spring after all, a great time for romance~"
"Tch, just thinking about that Spencer makes my blood boil..."
"Exactly, taking advantage of the President being a good person, we could’ve let her off the hook for getting help, but to bite the hand that fed her, and to do such a thing in front of the whole school!!"
"That’s it! I’m going to start a new club today, called the ’Anti-Spencer Alliance’!"
"Hey, you still dare to oppose her?"
"Yeah, didn’t you see that after the club war ended, both Hua Zhaofeng and those two from Hentai Club were taken for a ’tea talk’ by the disciplinary committee? I bet we’ll see their expulsion notices next week..."
"Hmm..."
"Besides, there’s no rush. The club war’s wish isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card, she’ll still get expelled if she continues like this. Then there’ll be no such thing as a wish from the club war."
"...You’re right. Heh, maybe she won’t even use that wish to stay. I heard that the Academic Affairs Office has already started her retention procedure..."
"Nag."
Classmates chatted with each other as they passed through the corridors, while parents, who had come outside with difficulty, also formed groups to have dinner together in the evening.
As the sun gradually slanted westward, the rays turned yellow, climbing up the wall plastered with the announcement "Hentai Club Wins."
On it, the names of Spencer, Jiang Yun, An Le, and Yan Huan were prominent.
Everything had already settled.
This moment, in the principal’s office.
"Ahem, Miss Spencer, long time no see."
Principal Hermes smiled, placing two cups of tea on the table before sitting down.
He glanced up at Spencer, who had some bandages on her, and Jiang Yun, who was in the principal’s office for the first time.
It’s rather rare for the principal to pour tea for the students.
But after all, Hermes was in a good mood today, so he didn’t dwell on it too much.
"Ah, you’re that bearded old grandpa I’ve met before, woof!"
"..."
Hermes’ smile, as delicate as a chrysanthemum, stiffened slightly, then he nodded his head and said,
"Hehe, indeed, Miss Spencer. According to our school’s tradition, the winner of the club war can make a wish to the school.
"Before it’s officially submitted to the Board of Directors, it’s normally sent to the principal’s office for review, so..."
Hermes gave a kind smile, looking at Spencer and asked,
"Miss Spencer, you’re the club president, you must have thought about what wish to make to the school before the competition, right?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Spencer pondered for a second, recalling her original plan.
Initially, whether she won or lost the club war, she planned to leave the school.
So the wish was supposed to be for the club members to decide what they wanted.
But now, Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino have left the club, the remaining three members...
An Le is in the hospital, she didn’t reply when I texted her, and she didn’t pick up when I called.
And as for Yan Huan, I don’t even know if he truly counts as a Hentai Club member.
Ever since I was taken away for treatment by the school doctor, I’ve had no idea where he went.
Could he be shy?
"..."
"Miss Spencer..."
Jiang Yun looked somewhat speechlessly at the distracted Spencer, eventually unable to hold back and reminding her.
"Woof... Woof!"
Spencer came back to her senses, coughed lightly, and hurriedly got back to the point, looking at Jiang Yun, intending to ask,
"Jiang Yun, I was planning to..."
"Forget it."
"Woof?"
Jiang Yun shook her head, looking at Spencer and saying,
"Your original arrangement, the President has already told me about it. So... if you want to give the wish to us, just forget it."
"Huh? He... he told you?!"
Spencer was momentarily stunned, looking at her, Jiang Yun eventually couldn’t help but smile slightly, saying,
"Mm-hmm.
"Honestly, even though I tried hard too, today the main force was you and President Yan, right?
"As for me, as an outer student with little presence, I got my name on the list of club war victors that normally only Inner Court students would be on; that’s already enough for me.
"And An Le, she was helping non-stop even while sick in the hospital, wasn’t it all to make you stay?
"Don’t you feel sorry for making the decision to leave?"
An Le...
Yes, An Le!!
As soon as Jiang Yun mentioned An Le, Spencer’s whole face turned pale.
She swallowed hard, unavoidably recalling how An Le had been helping her plan training and gather information continuously, even from the hospital.
She had told her many times, she didn’t want her to go.
And how did she repay her?
In front of everyone, she kissed Yan Huan, the boy she had promised to help An Le win over!
Did that scene also get streamed to the live broadcast and seen by her?
Hiss...
But just when Spencer was thinking, with a headache and guilt, about what to do, the memory of kissing Yan Huan suddenly surged forward.
She remembered how she had run with all her might towards that boy shirtless on top.
He hadn’t realized she was running towards him until she got very close, then he looked over in mild surprise.
For some reason, the moment she saw his face stripped of its peacock appearance, Spencer suddenly had an urge to kiss him again.
