Chapter 688 - 190: Return of the Bull King (Part 2)
"Huh, Yahashi? When did you get here?"
"Your mom!"
Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t bear to look and turned away to leave.
Watching Sakuragi Hitomi’s awkward retreating back, the indifferent Sakuragi sitting on the sofa in the room curled her lips disdainfully and cursed,
"How could she turn out to be such a useless idiot... all sweet and naive, did she throw the Sakuragi Family’s teachings into the Pacific Ocean or what?"
"Don’t say that..."
The petite Sakuragi timely climbed onto her head, tugged a strand of her hair, and advised,
"Don’t forget, she’s your future, and you’re her past... You chose to become her in the future, not the other way around..."
"..."
"You understand, don’t you? It’s because you found something more important that you abandoned those dark pasts."
The indifferent Sakuragi didn’t refute, she just snorted coldly and said,
"Hmph, but right now, a clueless innocent can’t win over the President."
"That’s right..."
The kind-hearted Sakuragi let go of the indifferent Sakuragi’s hair, waved her hand, and the scene before the real Sakuragi Hitomi appeared in front of them.
Looking at that scene, the petite Sakuragi smiled and said,
"That’s why we’re here～"
...
...
Stare～
At this moment, the real Sakuragi Hitomi was stealthily crouched beside a wall, her eyes fixed on the not-too-distant back of Yan Huan.
As expected, just as her Personality Mask had guessed, the President hadn’t even gone toward her own class!
Where was the President planning to go while looking at the phone?
Watching Yan Huan walk into the hallway connecting the teaching building of the first-year block, Sakuragi Hitomi took a deep breath, ready to follow, when suddenly a panicked call came to her ears,
"Vice President Sakuragi?!"
"Ah!! No... I wasn’t peeping! It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it, don’t talk nonsense!"
The voice hadn’t mentioned anything yet, but it scared Sakuragi Hitomi, making her cover her face like someone with PTSD and deny it three times.
"Wha... what peeping?"
Hearing the other person’s confusion, Sakuragi Hitomi belatedly realized that the newcomer hadn’t noticed what she was up to.
So, she hurriedly put her hands down and looked to the side.
There she saw Bai Yi, who also looked pale, with a bit of sweat on her face, panting and watching her with wide eyes.
"Bai Yi?!"
"It’s me..."
"What... what are you doing, you scared the life out of me, you know?"
"I..."
Bai Yi wanted to say something, but it seemed like she suddenly remembered something terrifying,
"No... no time to explain! Let’s go first!"
"Huh?!"
Sakuragi Hitomi noticed the panicked expression on her face and realized she wasn’t joking.
She calmed down and let Bai Yi pull her along as they ran forward, heading directly toward the direction where Yan Huan had gone, to the teaching building.
Once inside, Sakuragi Hitomi looked around, but not spotting Yan Huan, she sighed helplessly, looked at Bai Yi, and complained,
"So, what exactly happened to you? Is someone chasing you like this at school?"
Bai Yi looked outside the building, and after confirming no one was around, she whispered,
"It’s not someone else, it’s that An Le!"
"An Le? The President’s childhood friend?"
Hearing this unexpected name, Sakuragi Hitomi was stunned, then her expression quickly became suspicious.
The two of them present had a deep connection with Yan Huan, there was no need to explain who An Le was.
Who doesn’t know that childhood friend is useless, a weakling, a nobody?
When the three feudal lords formed the "Anti-Spencer Alliance," she wasn’t even informed, it speaks volumes about how little regard they had for her.
And you were being chased by someone like that?
Maybe you should just give up and surrender.
"..."
Upon seeing Sakuragi Hitomi’s pitiful look, Bai Yi’s face turned red, and she quickly shook Sakuragi’s arm, explaining,
"Sakuragi, she’s... she’s not like what we thought! You don’t know..."
"I don’t know what?"
Bai Yi took a deep breath and quickly said,
"Last week, when I was with Ye Shiyu and Yan Huan having milk tea, An Le showed up, alone, and started hitting Ye Shiyu, and I couldn’t stop it...
"And also the day before yesterday, last Saturday, when I invited Yan Huan to attend my clinic performance at the Tumor Hospital, An Le was there too..."
Bai Yi didn’t plan to mention any possible superpowers on her or An Le, she just wanted to describe to Sakuragi that An Le was "no longer the same."
"Slap!"
But as she listened, Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyes widened, and she smacked away Bai Yi’s hand on her, albeit just tickling Bai Yi without making her let go, even showing a confused expression.
Confused as to why Sakuragi Hitomi would suddenly touch her hand.
Seeing this, Sakuragi Hitomi grew even more exasperated,
"...You, Ye Shiyu secretly having milk tea with the President? And inviting the President to see your show on the weekend? Why don’t I know anything?!"
"I..."
Being asked this froze Bai Yi.
Right, they had agreed to form an alliance, and no sneaky actions were allowed before defeating Spencer.
And now, in a panic, Bai Yi accidentally spilled her sneaky actions due to being chased by the terrifying An Le.
But not only was Sakuragi caught up in anger, Bai Yi was feeling even more wronged.
She wanted to sneak around, but with Yan Huan and An Le there too, she ended up being chased, saving the charity performance from disaster, and going home with Yan Huan...
The glory was all hers, and Bai Yi didn’t even get a taste of Yan Huan!
"Now... now isn’t the time to argue about this! The key is An Le! Not only is she up to something with Yan Huan, it’s most important that she seems to be hunting us down!"
"Hunting? What nonsense are you talking?"
She even used the word "hunting," and involved "us," I don’t have any grievances with An Le, you’re just making baseless connections.
