"Uh... this question..."

She lay on the tatami mat covered with cushions, her feet wrapped in white socks playfully swinging back and forth behind her as she thought.

This seemed to help her come up with the answer.

"Alright, I've finished it!"

Within seconds, she solemnly wrote down her answer at the end of the paper.

Then, her eyes lit up slightly, and she lifted the paper, rolling several times on the tatami before she rolled over to Yan Huan.

It wasn't until her head bumped into Yan Huan's thigh that she turned around, lay properly, and looked up at Yan Huan,

"Look, Yan Huan, I nailed it! Check it for me!"

Seeing the adorable Spencer beside him, Yan Huan felt his anxious heart slightly eased.

He reached out, took Spencer's homework, and scanned it left and right, searching for the correct answers among the scribbled writing.

Though there were still mistakes, it was much better than before.

"You've made progress, Aria."

"Yay!"

Upon hearing this, she immediately stretched out her limbs in delight, cheered, and spun once before running behind Yan Huan to hug his waist.

The next moment, a soft sensation pressed against his back.

Yan Huan paused slightly and turned around to see Spencer resting her head comfortably on his shoulder as if climbing a mountain, but her hands still hugging his waist tightly.

"Yan Huan, I want to play on the phone, can you pass it to me~"

Yan Huan smiled slightly and handed her the phone from the table.

So, in this not-so-convenient position, she placed the phone on Yan Huan's chest and began playing Angry Birds.

"Ah, heinia!"

Playing on the phone, Spencer relaxed even more, spreading her legs as she draped them over Yan Huan's thighs around his waist.

Even so, she was still restless, rocking up and down, occasionally tapping the inside of Yan Huan's calf...

"..."

This not-so-ideal posture was acted out innocently by her, but it felt meaningful to him.

Yan Huan awkwardly diverted his gaze and senses from her fragrant body to the phone screen, which showed a red pig flying into the sky with the help of a slingshot.

Yet, no matter what, he couldn't shift his attention away.

As if enchanted, he didn't know why he wanted to speak.

But anyhow, he opened his mouth hoarsely,

"Aria, do you know how to dance?"

"Huh? No, I don't. I learned before, but I couldn't grasp it at all. Remembering those moves was too troublesome, hehe..."

While playing the game, Spencer also swayed her head slightly on Yan Huan's shoulder.

Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

Thus, her golden hair and his black fringes brushed past each other, with their earlobes almost kissing before reluctantly parting again.

Lost in thought, Yan Huan suddenly turned his head to look at her.

And just as she turned towards him, his lips brushed against her earlobe.

"Uh... ticklish..."

Immediately, the right side of Spencer's face shrunk as if electrified, and her eyes narrowed comfortably.

After doing this, she looked at Yan Huan, puzzled,

"A high table dinner, what's that?"

Watching her innocent expression, Yan Huan couldn't help but chuckle,

"... It's nothing."

"Okay..."

She didn't seem annoyed, just happily turned back to her game.

"Step... step... step..."

But while playing, her ears twitched slightly.

Before Yan Huan could react, she had already looked at the door and said,

"Someone's coming, Yan Huan."

"Huh?"

Yan Huan blinked a few times, then, without hesitation, eager to avoid another incident like Spencer's 'modifier' kicking into action, he quickly got up from Spencer's embrace and said,

"I'll go check it out..."

"Okay!"

Just as he walked towards the door, it opened.

From outside, Sakuragi Hitomi stepped in, gracefully dressed in a springtime JK outfit.

"President, Spencer..."

She blinked and greeted them with a charming smile.

Needless to say, Yan Huan was on edge, sensing the slightest hint of tension, ready to flee at the onset, lest he be caught red-handed as before.

However...

The current Sakuragi was not like the real Sakuragi at all...

Realizing this, Yan Huan cautiously pushed the birth certificate in his pocket further down.

Meanwhile, he put on his mask of expression management to avoid showing any slip-ups.

"President, are you... helping Spencer with her studies?"

Before him, Sakuragi glanced at the various assignments on the table and asked Yan Huan with a smile.

Yan Huan nodded, admitting,

"Yes, if she fails the finals again, she'll have to be expelled."

"I see..."

Sakuragi Hitomi assessed Yan Huan's smile, and a hint of curiosity flickered in her eyes.

"So, why are you here?"

On the tatami, Spencer folded her arms and looked at Sakuragi Hitomi, faintly unhappy.

No kidding, it was the same last time too.

Spencer had been busy with various things recently, such as studying and mending fences with An Le, so she hadn't had much time to be alone with Yan Huan, and she hadn't had much chance to snack and chat either.

This past week, two rare chances to be happily alone together were disrupted by the sudden appearance of Sakuragi Hitomi.

If Spencer wasn't annoyed by this twice in a row, she'd be a saint.

"Oh my, actually, Spencer, you don't need to be upset..."

Sakuragi Hitomi smiled gently, covering her mouth as she spoke kindly.

"Huh?"

"..."

Not only did Spencer look slightly stunned, but even Yan Huan realized she had more to say, so he also turned to look at her.

Speaking of which, it seemed that each of Sakuragi's personalities represented something and thus had a particular name...

So what does this cuckoo in the nest personality of Sakuragi represent?

Yan Huan wondered so.

Then, right in front of him, Sakuragi Hitomi tilted her head, looked at Spencer, and continued,

"Because I'm not here to interrupt you guys; I'm here to join you."
