"Speak, speak as much as you can, and let everyone see the true face of the gentleman Bai Ye!"
"Are we finally getting back to the topic?" Kato Megumi said.
"Hey, what's the topic?"
"Miss Michi, let's get to the point about why Senior Bai Ye isn't going home on Friday... Everyone's been beating around the bush, and I'm a little dizzy."
"Actually, I'm dizzy," Bai Ye replied. "Shiyu, you've already asked two questions. Is there a third one? Do novel writers always have to go through so many twists and turns?"
"This is called laying the groundwork, and then recovering it when the time comes," Shiyu said.
"Stop beating around the bush and tell me the result." Ying Lili was impatient.
"Ah, that's why you can't write a good manga plot, Eriri. Who wants to read a straightforward story? Sherlock Holmes is British, just like you, so why don't you understand the charm of gradual reasoning?"
"No way to play—no way to play—no way to play—!"
"Senior Shiyu."
Seeing Kato Megumi speak out to stop her, Shiyu realized that if she delayed any further she would make everyone unhappy.
"Both of the questions I raised are closely related to Shiro-kun. Think about it, Shiro-kun is an idiot, but he's not at a disadvantage. And it happened the night before the school festival, don't you understand? Oh—Michiru and Izumi aren't from Toyonosaki Academy. It's understandable that you don't understand, but you can also use some reasoning."
After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.
Kato Megumi thought of something and said first:
"Speaking of which, classroom decoration is only done after school. I heard that the school cafeteria provides meals the night before the school festival so that students who stay to decorate their classrooms can have something to eat."
At this point, Eriri also understood. The look in her eyes when she looked at Bai Ye changed from surprise, to astonishment, to horror, and then she quickly turned away from Bai Ye who was smiling mysteriously.
"You, you, you—you're not planning to spend the night at school on Friday, are you?!"
"Right answer (≧▽≦)!" Bai Ye clapped his hands happily.
"You still have the nerve to applaud?!" Shiyu slapped him.
"Hey - can we stay overnight at Fengzhiqi Academy?" Bingtang was surprised.
"I thought about staying overnight, but I was still surprised to hear Senior Bai Ye admit it himself. Is he really that good at playing?"
If Bai Ye stayed overnight at school alone, Chu Hai would not use the word "fun". And the three seniors, Shiyu, Koe and Eriri, were all students of Toyonosaki Academy. How could Senior Bai Ye let himself spend a lonely night?
Kato Megumi figured out the whole story, and her little hand quietly reached to the soft flesh around Bai Ye's waist.
"I remembered that you can apply for a sleepover on Friday night. Bai Yejun, do you want everyone to stay with you at school on Friday night?"
"Ahem—" Bai Ye dodged everyone's rather powerful gazes. "Actually, the background board we were commissioned to draw has never been finished, and with the classroom decoration work, we will definitely be busy until very late, so we decided to stay overnight. It would be a shame not to experience staying overnight on campus once in my third year of high school."
"Bai Ye-kun is not honest." Kato Megumi turned his hand.
"Ah——!" Two lines of tiger tears burst out of Bai Ye's eyes.
(╥ω╥`)
Why do these girls always like to pinch the soft flesh around their waists, which makes them so sore and painful that they can't stand it?
Shiyu also joined in teaching Bai Ye a lesson, slapping him in the face.
"Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Are you stupid? How dare you ask all of us to spend the night with you at school on Friday night? Even if you managed to fool us on Friday night, with so many people coming to school on Saturday, wouldn't it explode if we were discovered?"
"That would be exciting!" Bai Ye winked mischievously.
Bingtang was also frightened by Bai Ye's thoughts.
Although she was quite timid, she couldn't imagine spending the night with Bai Ye at school.
Judging from Aye's current relationship with everyone, even if he stays overnight at school, 99% of them will still do evening and morning exercises.
"Aye, you are too brave..."
"Bingtang has to come with us that day too."
"Hey, you want me too?!"
Bingtang was really shocked. He was not a student of Fengzhiqi Academy!
"Come even if you want to go out to sea." Bai Ye looked at her.
"Ha, you want me too?!" Chu Hai was surprised by his affirmative tone.
"Of course, the blackening work you're responsible for before going out to sea hasn't been completed yet, so you have to come right after school on Friday."
Chu Hai blushed.
She had never stayed at the Byakuya household before, and her first time staying at Toyosaki Academy was going to be so exciting?!
Hearing this, Shiyu couldn't help but be shocked.
She had thought that it would only be herself, Kei, and Eriri that Friday night, but she hadn't expected Byakuya to actually want to drag Michiru and Izumi into the mix as well.
"Hey, hey, Xiaobai-kun, are you really going to heaven?"
"Yes, and we have to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun." Bai Ye raised his thumb and smiled brightly.
"I'm impressed by you..." Shiyu covered her face and held her forehead.
At this time, Ying Lili, who had searched for relevant information on the school forum, extended Erkang's hand.
"Wait a minute—the rules state that each class is limited to a certain number of people staying overnight, and the location can only be in the classroom or the club room. There are also teachers conducting regular inspections. Phew… It's okay, it's okay. Our reputation is saved…"
Eriri breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that Shiyu and Kato Megumi's expressions hadn't relaxed, she couldn't help but wonder:
"Hey, hey, even if we stay overnight, we can't be in the same classroom. What are you panicking about? Look at Bai Ye, he didn't even think of this and wanted everyone to stay overnight at school together. Aren't you an idiot?"
Shiyu glanced at Bai Ye, who still had a mysterious smile on his face.
"Xiaobai-kun, you've considered this, right?"
"Yes."
When Ying Lili heard this, her body stiffened. She noticed that Bai Ye was also staring at her and couldn't help but panic.
"Why are you all staring at me? I'm the first one who disagreed with spending the night at school."
"Alas..." Shi Yu patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "I'm not staring at you, but I saw your backer."
"Backers? Where can I find backers?"
"It's my aunt." Kato Megumi revealed the answer, "Aunt will agree without hesitation as long as it is beneficial to Eriri."
"Mom?" Ying Lili was completely confused.
"Eri, you must not have forgotten how powerful your aunt is in Toyonosaki Academy. With just one word from your aunt, the accommodation list, location, inspections, etc. are all taken care of." Shiyu spread her hands.
"Bai, Bai Ye...is this true? Mom...has she agreed?"
Byakuya cruelly shattered Eriri's last bit of hope.
"I mentioned this to my aunt, and within a second she agreed. She even smiled and said she fully supported us and told us to just have fun. She would take care of the school and even provide classrooms and bedding."
Eriri collapsed. She never expected that her own mother would stab her in the back.
"Am I your biological daughter, mom?"
Chapter 779: Campus Festival Do you want to go on a date that will explode if you are discovered?
Bai Ye's attitude this time was unprecedentedly firm. He brushed off the part of consulting everyone's opinions with an affirmative tone and entered the stage of discussing how to implement it.
Because he felt dissatisfied, dissatisfied with his past experiences, specifically, dissatisfied with not being able to have a casual relationship with everyone at school.
Bai Ye clearly remembered that from the beginning of this semester, he was asked not to have a relationship with Shiyu at school. Even though the number of times Shiyu stayed at his house increased greatly, it still could not make up for his yearning for a romantic campus romance.
"Do they really understand how beautiful, pure, and desirable high school romances are? But after entering college, everyone becomes busy, grown up, and realistic, and there aren't as many exciting romances anymore."
Shiyu understood the sincerity in Bai Ye's words and couldn't help but tease him.
"So this is why you chose JK as your girlfriend? To trick JK into a honeypot made of money, and then take her out and enjoy her when she becomes sweet and delicious."
"Why do you make me look like a 40-year-old uncle in your mouth? I'm also a J... Wait - JK seems to refer specifically to female high school students?"
"Hmm~"
Bai Ye vomited. After hanging out with everyone for so long, he almost thought of himself as a JK.
"So?" Eriri, who had been playing dumb, turned around with difficulty. "What does this have to do with you staying over at school on Friday?"
"Of course it does!" Bai Ye clutched his chest, looking heartbroken. "Every time I see someone showing affection at school, I remember that I can no longer have a tryst with you, Eriri, on the school rooftop. It breaks my heart."
"W-what the hell!" After having her secret exposed in public by Bai Ye, Eriri panicked like a puppy, hugging her golden twintails tightly and covering her face. "I, I didn't date you on the school rooftop, stop talking nonsense, okay?!"
"Really?" Shiyu smiled playfully, "I still remember there were a few photos in the chat group..."
"Waaaaaaaa!" Eriri interrupted her quickly, "Didn't I delete everything? That wasn't a date, it was... a meal! Yeah, we were just discussing things over a meal."
Shiyu: “…”
There are more than a thousand photos in the chat group, and Bai Ye is used to taking photos as a souvenir of every date, so it is normal to miss some.
"This semester, I've only had a few dates at school. To use the words of a novel, they were barely mentioned in passing, so I thought..."
"Really?" Shiyu interrupted him again, "Are your dates really that rare? Why do I see the same two people walking in and out of school every day on the school forum? Who are they?"
Shiyu slowly shifted her gaze to Kato Megumi standing beside her, and the meaning was clear.
The person who benefited the most from this incident was not Bai Ye, but Kato Megumi.
Kato Megumi faced everyone's gazes with neither arrogance nor humility, and Shiyu's "meaningful words" failed to break her "three-no-face" expression.
"It's okay. Although it's tiring and hard to take care of Bai Ye-jun, it's what I should do."
"Haha, you're quite good at talking, Hui."
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Bai Ye suddenly became the victim, and Bingtang, unwilling to be left out, took the blame.
"Aye, Aye, the Shura Field is here, it's your turn."
"Do you think I have a say here?"
"Didn't Hui say that taking care of Ah Ye was very tiring and hard for you? Ask her why and change the subject."
"Isn't the answer obvious?" Bai Ye analyzed logically. "If I asked, Xiaohui would definitely say that she's been keeping an eye on me because she's worried that a pure gentleman like me would scare girls everywhere. She's worried that the unspeakable plots in the gal game would happen in real life. If you think about my family and brothers, wouldn't everything be clear?"
Bingtang immediately clapped his hands, and so did Chuhai on the other side of the screen.
"Senior, you are indeed very self-aware. As expected of someone who has made a fortune in the business world, your ability to assess the situation is first-rate!"
"You don't have to comfort me when we go out to sea. I can bear it..." Bai Ye covered his injured heart.
"I understand that your intention in going out to sea is good, but it sounds more like a mockery." Bingtang scratched his face.
"Ah (゜ロ゜) I'm sorry..."
Here, the open and secret struggles between Shiyu and Kato Megumi have come to a temporary end.
"It's getting dark. Before I prepare dinner, could you please explain your plans for Friday?"
"Is it dark?" Bai Ye stood up from Bingtang's leg pillow.
He just felt like he had been playing around with everyone for a while, how come it was dark already?
It’s true that happy times pass by quickly.
"You've been lying on Michiru's lap for an hour, and Michiru was tired, but she didn't complain at all."
"It's only been an hour. I'm not that tired. You can use your pillow if you want."
Shiyu propped up her cheeks, so she was very annoyed by the sports attribute. Her legs were sore after using Bai Ye's knees as a pillow for an hour, but Bingtang was fine.
"Bai Ye-kun." Kato Megumi reminded again.
"I'm coming."
After taking the tea handed to him by Kato Megumi and drinking it all, Bai Ye slowly told him his plan.
"Preparations for the school festival actually began on Friday afternoon. Vehicles from outside will be allowed to enter public areas like the playground after registering. By then, Bingtang and Chuhai will be able to enter and exit Fengzhiqi Academy openly. I've prepared your documents."
"Will just having ID be enough?" Bingtang was still confused. "Neither Chu Hai nor I are students of Fengzhiqi Academy. Wouldn't it be too obvious if we just walked into the teaching building without hesitation?"
"So, I have Toyonosaki's school uniform for you... Don't look at me like you took it off some girl's body! It was prepared by Aunt Sawamura!"
After finally convincing everyone that he hadn't done anything strange to girls, Bai Ye continued:
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you wear the Toyonosaki uniform or not. There have been cases in the past where students from other schools have come to help, and the teachers have just ignored it."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and agreed with Bai Ye's idea.
Except Eriri.
