"Saku...Sakuragi Hitomi, why are you here?"

Looking at the elusive Sakuragi Hitomi before her, Bai Yi asked with a face full of suspicion.

"Just wandering around the mall on a weekend because I had nothing better to do. Is that not allowed?"

Sakuragi Hitomi smiled slightly, responding in this way.

But Ye Shiyu just stared at her expressionlessly and asked back,

"Browsing in a maternity room?"

Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi glanced at the envelope in her hand, which began with the words "To the children," her brows furrowing slightly.

What is this...

Who wrote this letter?

Thinking this, Sakuragi Hitomi's face showed nothing but a smile as she opened her arms lovingly towards the two in front of her and said,

"If you don't mind, I can call you babies too~"

"Get lost!"

Hearing this, Bai Yi's face darkened, and she unladylike scolded the teasing Sakuragi Hitomi and pointed at her,

"We clearly saw your rat-headed clone just now. This place is obviously your Barrier, right?

"We agreed not to use superpowers on each other, but you secretly did. Shameless!"

Even when questioned, Sakuragi Hitomi didn't get angry and instead laughed, saying,

"Didn't we agree not to use it against the President? If there's any moral standing, we shouldn't use it on ordinary people either.

"I have a poor constitution, so opening a Barrier in advance to teleport and save some walking time is quite normal, isn't it?"

Bai Yi was stumped by what Sakuragi Hitomi said,

"Oh, right... Sorry..."

"..."

Ye Shiyu only stared at Sakuragi Hitomi expressionlessly, uncertain of what she was thinking.

As she observed them in such a manner, an unkind smile fleetingly appeared under Sakuragi Hitomi's smiling face.

Originally, she came here following the two mice, but since she ran into these two, she might as well advance her previous plan.

One previous goal in secretly spreading rumors about the President selecting a dance partner and creating public pressure was:

To make these two, out of jealousy and self-confidence, embarrass themselves in front of the President, making it unlikely for him to consider them as dance partners.

And the other two girls...

An Le and Spencer.

One is doomed by personality never to become a spotlighted dance partner, and the other probably doesn't even know what a dance partner or dance means.

Thus, the four girls have lost their competitiveness.

Even in the worst case, should she fail to defeat the insecure Sakuragi, the President would most likely realize:

She is the most suitable choice for a dance partner.

Surely the President won't choose Yuanlina?

"Haha, I stand no chance~"

In her mind, the silly image of the balloon of the laughing foolish girl, Yuanlina, burst instantly, and Sakuragi Hitomi also showed a faint smile.

"Sorry, but I'm just about to go pick out some formal wear for dancing, so I won't keep you~"

Then, she gently placed the envelope into her bosom, lightly waved her hand as if she did not care, and intended to leave.

Hint~

In the whispering now spreading rumors, words like "dance" and "ball" have become highly sensitive keywords, immediately provoking Ye Shiyu's and Bai Yi's sensitive nerves.

Why is Sakuragi Hitomi buying dance formal wear?

Really hard to guess~

"!!"

Hearing this, the expressionless face of Ye Shiyu instantly cooled a bit more, and a dangerous aura emanated from her.

"..."

Could it be that Xiao Huan has already...

Secretly agreed to be Sakuragi Hitomi's dance partner?

Has she already declared my failure before even starting?

Is my self-discipline ultimately futile?

What should I do?

I really want to use hypnosis to confirm with Xiao Huan...

Otherwise...

"Hey, hey, hey, Ye Shiyu, you... calm down..."

Feeling that Ye Shiyu's state wasn't right, Bai Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swiftly reminded her.

"Ding-dong~"

Right at this moment, Ye Shiyu's phone in her arms suddenly rang.

Her darkened eyes wavered for a moment, and then she lowered her head to take out her phone.

Xiao Huan: "Cat paws waving"

"[Fashion clothing video share]"

"Sister Shiyu, can the finished product really have such strong expressiveness?"

"I feel like Sister Shiyu would look really good in this kind of clothing."

Seeing the message from above, Ye Shiyu's eyes became a bit clearer.

Xiao Huan...

That's right, my...my self-discipline and efforts will certainly be rewarded.

If I'm impetuous and focus only on using hypnosis like before, it wouldn't be at all about reforming, but would instead make me like what Mori Yana said...

I haven't lost yet!

I can still turn over a new leaf!

"..."

Ye Shiyu clenched her phone, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing, merely stepping aside to allow Sakuragi Hitomi to leave,

"Well, farewell. We still want to look around, so we won't be joining you."

Ye Shiyu spoke in this expressionless, faint tone, making the smile on Sakuragi Hitomi's face stiffen a little, and Bai Yi blinked her right eyelid, looking surprised at the calm Ye Shiyu.

This guy...

"..."

Seeing this, Sakuragi Hitomi clenched her pink fists a little tighter but still pretended to naturally pass by them.

Just as she was about to press the doorknob, she suddenly turned back to smile at Bai Yi,

"Bai Yi, don't you want to pick a couple of outfits for dancing? I'm sure you'd look good in them, right?"

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi was somewhat tempted, as just imagining herself in a nice dress and Yan Huan in a suite, dancing in the spotlight, excited her.

But...

Would Yan Huan really choose her as a dance partner?

The previously rejected confession, the friends' circle she didn't like, the unsent flowers...
