In her heart, she spoke apologetically.

Yes, she was actually the culprit behind this rumor.

It was because of Sakuragi Hitomi's sly words last night that ignited Hitomi's original body's doubt about her progress, forcing her to produce results quickly.

Perfect Sakuragi knew that there weren't many progress points that could satisfy the original body.

Holding hands, hugging, even kissing, these were things the original body, despite all its flaws, could reach with some effort.

If that were the case, why would they need Perfect Sakuragi to replace her?

Only milestones like "the President's confession to herself," "successfully establishing a romantic relationship," or "going all the way" that the original body couldn't reach would count...

Therefore, this special symbolic identity of a dance partner, Perfect Sakuragi must obtain it!

But due to the influence of Self-doubt Sakuragi, she's restrained and unable to make a proactive move...

Now, she can only chase down Self-doubt Sakuragi while laying the groundwork for the dance.

"Here, President, some tea."

Thinking this, she brewed delicious tea for everyone.

Holding one cup, she approached Yan Huan with a smile and spoke.

Yan Huan glanced at her and couldn't help but reach out to take the tea from her.

"Thanks, Sakuragi."

Sakuragi Hitomi smiled slightly and went back to serve tea to the others.

"Here, Yahashi-kun, Ashley, Yuanlina..."

The ideal situation is that even before Self-doubt Sakuragi is defeated, the President will proactively invite her to be the dance partner...

Even if it doesn't work, it's okay, the tide has already been awakened by her...

She understood the true nature of the other hosts better than anyone else.

Under such a tide of public opinion, they will surely show ugly sides that will upset the President.

After several such comparisons, she would be in a strategic position, as long as she holds on until Self-doubt Sakuragi is defeated...

The victory would be secure.

Thinking like this, the smile on Sakuragi Hitomi's face grew wider, and she seemed to be in a great mood.

"..."

Meanwhile, Yan Huan, with hands supporting his chin, had lost interest in dealing with the matters at hand.

Just as Sakuragi thought, Yuanlina already knew, so it wouldn't be long before the whole school knew...

Bai Yi had already intended for this, and now it's become public knowledge, Ye Shiyu must also be clear about it.

This is troublesome...

Rubbing his temples, Yan Huan suddenly recalled Sakuragi's sudden words earlier and couldn't help but steal a glance at her.

Upon seeing her smile deepen, Yan Huan quickly withdrew his gaze.

"This Sakuragi, who is possibly a Sakuragi persona... seems very enthusiastic about the high-table dinner dance..."

Noting this silently, Yan Huan then quietly took out his phone and opened the group chat he had formed with An Le and Tong Yingying.

To cover its purpose, he named the group chat,

"Ai Miao-chan TV"

In reality, this was their contact point for an underground organization opposing the modifier!

With a slight movement of his fingers, he gently typed a line of text,

"Mina, there's an emergency!"

...

...

At that moment, in the first-year section.

Bai Yi, wearing a pretty dress, walked a bit dejectedly through the corridor.

She wore Bluetooth earphones, but even listening to cheerful music didn't lift her spirits.

The reason was quite simple...

Since that day, Yan Huan had not become more connected with her, rather he seemed...

More distant?

Maybe it was just an illusion, although the frequency of his messages remained the same as before...

But being the same as before was just being distant, considering all that had happened...

That's what Bai Yi thought.

The scenery outside also seemed to be affected by her mood, offering the warmth of spring as comfort.

A pale white flower drifted down from a tree, leaving Bai Yi slightly startled.

She turned her head and gently reached out to catch it, inadvertently gazing at the flowers in the bushes outside the corridor.

"Hmm, these little flowers are so pretty, I wonder what their name is and what they mean..."

Bai Yi took off her earphones, blinking her beautiful eyes, looking down at the touch of spring.

As she gazed, she couldn't help but hear the noise coming from not far away.

She was slightly taken aback, turned her head towards that direction, and saw many girls chattering near Class A.

"Over there... what's going on?"

Just then, a few girls hopped back from Class A, and she curiously stopped them to ask,

"Hey, wait a minute, fell... seniors... what's going on near Class A, why are there so many people?"

Bai Yi originally intended to call them classmates, but upon seeing their badges with "Year 2" and "Year 3," she changed her address.

The girls glanced at the stunningly beautiful Bai Yi, recognizing her reputation, and smiled as they replied,

"Haven't you heard? They say the President might lead a dance at the high-table dinner. But after asking around Class A, it seems like the President hasn't found a dance partner yet..."

Yan Huan's... dance partner?

Isn't that me?

Thinking this, Bai Yi blinked, then asked,

"Uh, so what's happening now?"

"Well, since the President doesn't have a girlfriend yet... uh, I mean, hasn't found a dance partner yet..."

The girl slightly reddened, covering her mouth with a giggle, embarrassed as she said,

"So, I wanted to try and recommend myself, so I wrote a letter and put it under the President's locker."

Yuanyue Academy doesn't have shoe lockers, but they do have personal lockers.

These lockers are locked, so you can't slip things in like in Japanese anime.

But that didn't stop the "i Huan" group; they simply hung a small basket on top and placed things inside it.
