God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1080 - 309: Tender Sprout (Part 2)

"It's okay, Sister Shiyu, the formal dinner is a small event, after all, by then the finals are over. Moreover, it's also the last event for my batch's student council..."

Hearing Yan Huan's voice, Ye Shiyu finally withdrew her gaze and looked back at Yan Huan.

When Yan Huan's face appeared in her view, the originally abyss-like darkness in her eyes sparkled with tiny lights,

"Mm..."

Seeing her obediently nodding slightly, Yan Huan increasingly felt that strange excitement in his heart becoming more apparent.

He forcibly suppressed that feeling, raised the materials in his hand, and said to Ye Shiyu,

"Perfect timing, I have all the materials, let's go back."

"Mm..."

Ye Shiyu nodded slightly again without any expression, but even when nodding, her eyes remained fixed on Yan Huan.

They turned around from the entrance of the principal's office and headed back to the first-year student council office, which was quite a distance.

Along the way, silence was inevitable.

But surprisingly, this time it was the usually taciturn Ye Shiyu who broke the shell of the atmosphere,

"Xiao Huan, do you want to be the student council president again next year?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Shiyu, who was watching him even while walking.

Her expression seemed to say "As long as you speak, I'll help you conquer the world," which made Yan Huan somewhat helpless.

Isn't it possible that this girl might hypnotize the classmates who voted against him one by one?

"You can only vote for Xiao Huan, you can only vote for Xiao Huan, you can only vote for Xiao Huan..."

Imagining Ye Shiyu holding up her phone and mumbling to her classmates, Yan Huan couldn't help but have a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

But a second later, he wished he could slap himself.

Yan Huan, oh Yan Huan, you really are something, when did Ye Shiyu's terrifying hypnosis start to seem appealing?

"Well... let's talk about it when the time comes? After all, I've already been elected, I've gained the benefits, and there's no need to work so hard next year."

"Mm..."

Ye Shiyu nodded again and didn't speak further.

"Sister Shiyu, when you sent me so many messages this morning, I was almost scared to death when I saw them..."

"Why?"

"Just... sending so many is scary, sis."

"However, when I sent them to Mori before, she seemed to have no complaints."

"...She's not normal."

"Mm... she's not normal."

Yan Huan covered his face, looking at Ye Shiyu, who was repeating with a blank expression, fearing she might misunderstand, and quickly explained,

"It's just in this regard, Sister Shiyu. Because she admires you so much, she would act indifferent even if she cared."

"So that's how it is..."

Ye Shiyu seemed to understand but not quite, remained silent for a second, and then said,

"Because... I was very worried about you, Xiao Huan, it won't happen next time."

"..."

For once, facing her expressionless stare, Yan Huan actually looked away.

But this "rare occurrence" for Yan Huan seemed a bit too frequent today.

For example, the route from the principal's office to the student council office which he had walked countless times and felt short, actually took a long time today.

For example, for the first time, he and Ye Shiyu talked about many things, chatting about Jinxiu, talking about the cultural festival, discussing internships.

For example, for the first time, he felt that being alone with Ye Shiyu didn't feel terrifying, but rather just...

Ordinary.

Like walking with any of his friends.

"Ah, we're here, Sister Shiyu."

After turning a corner at the staircase, Yan Huan looked at the door from which muffled conversations could be heard and reminded Ye Shiyu while also intending to step forward to open the door.

His hand was already on the doorknob, but Ye Shiyu behind him pursed her lips, hesitated for a brief moment, and then swiftly moved closer to him.

Before Yan Huan knew it, he felt her gently slip her hand into his coat pocket and then quickly pull it back out.

Did she put something inside?

"..."

Yan Huan glanced at Ye Shiyu, who remained expressionless but casually helped him push the door open.

"Ah, they're back. Well, since the internship matters are settled, how about you both sign and we go out for a walk?"

Inside, Sakuragi Yuri's gentle voice came through.

Sakuragi Yuri was the most talkative of the three mothers, able to read the atmosphere without dominating conversations, subtly enhancing it with her words.

Seizing the chance as Ye Shiyu was the first to enter the room, Yan Huan, still outside the door, quickly felt inside his pocket to see what Ye Shiyu had put in there.

In the next moment, he felt the outline of a tiny flower...

The small flower was warm to the touch, as if it had been held in her hand for a long time.

Long enough that even her usually cool body temperature had warmed it.

"!!"

Realizing what she had put in his pocket, Yan Huan's eyes widened as he quickly looked toward Ye Shiyu in front of him.

But she had her back to him, presumably still expressionless.

Everything seemed the same as ever, except for the hand holding onto her skirt tightly and rubbing it, capturing all the emotions she deeply hid within.

"Thump... thump..."

Yan Huan's breathing paused slightly as he cast another glance at Ye Shiyu, his gaze landing on her pink ear lobes illuminated by the soft light.

"..."

Following this, he quickly followed Ye Shiyu into the room, engaging in conversation with the elders with a composed demeanor.

The flower that Ye Shiyu had given him, with its obvious meaning, remained in his pocket.

Like a new sprout just planted into the soil...
