As Yukinoshita Haruno looked up with a little surprise, Wu Yi placed the can of coffee that he had just used for the prank in front of her, while he took the other can, sat down in his seat, pulled the ring and started drinking.
Yukinoshita Haruno blinked her eyes maliciously and cutely: "Uh, thank you... By the way, Wu Yi, haven't you gone home?"
“I went back, but I came back again.”
Wu Yi took a big sip of coffee and exhaled a breath with a rich coffee aroma.
"I'm the commander, I can't let you do all the work alone."
"So this is a thank you gift?"
Yukinoshita Haruno shook the can of coffee in her hand.
"Not really, just a simple condolence."
As he spoke, Wu Yi took another sip.
"But from the looks of you, have you already gotten everything done?"
"Well, it's almost there."
Yukinoshita Haruno put down her coffee and looked at the notebook open on the table.
"Because Hirata-san has returned, I changed Sudo-san's basketball game from one-on-one to three-on-three. Sudo-san will still be the main attacker, and Hirata-san and Onodera-san will be responsible for passing the ball. This will just make up a small three-on-three basketball team, leaving the vacant spot in the one-on-one game for Wang Meiyu's English test..."
"Oh, that's fine too."
Wu Yi took a quick look and then calmly gave two thumbs up.
At present, we are sure to win at least four out of ten events, but this is enough.
After all, when it comes to the formal exam, both classes will select five projects from the ten projects submitted by each other, which will be combined into ten projects. Finally, seven projects will be randomly selected from the ten combined projects for the competition.
That is to say, as long as five out of ten are sure to win, it is already very OK. As for the remaining five, it doesn’t matter even if they are just written randomly to make up the numbers.
This is what Yukinoshita Haruno is doing now. She even wrote down the rock-paper-scissors game of twenty people against twenty people.
This is a project that would not be selected at first glance, but it was able to pass the school's review and enter the project shortlist.
"The only problem now is the two-person match..."
Yukinoshita Haruno pointed to the column that said "Fashion Show".
Being a two-person competition, there should be two names there, but currently there is only one person, Kouenji Rokusuke, in the boys' group.
"This is not a big question. We will give a clear answer by tomorrow morning at the latest."
Having said that, Wu Yi took out his cell phone and checked the time.
"Ah, it's almost time for the appointment. Sorry... I'll have to leave first."
"Okay, see you later."
Since she had already said she had something to do, Yukinoshita Haruno didn't try to keep her, and the two of them said goodbye very cheerfully.
After leaving the classroom, Wu Yi wandered around the campus. He drank the remaining coffee on the way and found a trash can to throw it away. Then he arrived at the agreed location on time.
That was the place where Hirata was found yesterday. On a public bench with a slightly old paint color, a girl with red twin ponytails was already waiting there quietly.
Sensing someone approaching, Sakura Airi looked over keenly. When she saw who it was, she instantly let down her guard and revealed a smile that she had never shown in front of other classmates.
"Student Wu Yi, you are here..."
"Sorry, have you been waiting for so long?"
Wu Yi walked over and waved at the girl's smile.
"Um~ No, I just got here a little while ago."
Sakura Airi shook her head quickly, and her carefully styled twin ponytails swung happily due to inertia.
Although she still had twin pigtails, she didn't wear the tacky big pigtails she usually wore at school today. Instead, she wore the style of an idol like Shizukutoki, and she didn't even wear the pair of plain glasses that she used to cover her face.
"Okay, let's go and have dinner."
"Eh? Wanna go to the mall?"
When she heard that they had to go to a crowded place, Sakura Airi suddenly became a little panicked.
"Of course, I've already chosen the restaurant."
Wu Yi pretended not to notice her change of mood and continued jokingly.
"But if you're worried about being recognized by fans, you can wear a mask?"
"Well, that's not necessary..."
After taking a deep breath as if to prepare herself mentally, Sakura Airi trotted forward and grabbed Wu Yi's hand. Her cheeks flushed slightly due to the overly intimate gesture.
Normally, a walk is something that should be done after dinner, but it was almost dinner time now, and Wu Yi did not take Sakura Airi directly to the restaurant he mentioned in the Keyaki Shopping Center. Instead, he took a long detour around the campus.
The red-haired girl with twin ponytails didn't seem to have any objection to this. She held the former's arm tightly with both hands and followed closely.
Of course, the overall direction of the two is still heading towards the shopping mall.
"By the way, Sakura."
On the way there, Wu Yi suddenly spoke.
Sakura Airi raised her head reflexively like a little animal.
"Well?"
"I'm just asking casually, what do you plan to do after graduation?"
"Eh? Isn't it a bit too early to ask this question now?"
"It's a little early, so I just asked casually."
Wu Yi was originally looking straight ahead, but in order to make it easier to speak, he turned his face slightly.
"What are you planning to do..."
Sakura Airi released one hand, touched the corner of her mouth and thought seriously.
"I think I will probably continue to be a print model and idol."
"Isn't that a bit of a waste?"
"Eh? Really?"
"Yes, Sakura, think about it, we are Class A now, right?"
Wu Yi started to use routine.
"According to what was said when we enrolled at this school, as long as you graduate from Class A, you can have any wish come true. It's almost like the Holy Grail of omnipotence. But Sakura, you're a print model. Even if you graduate from Class A, you'll just continue to be a print model... So, don't you have any other wishes that you want to fulfill?"
"If I have to say, there is one." Sakura Airi said softly.
"Can you explain in detail?" Wu Yi asked curiously.
"It's just... I wish I could be a little more cheerful."
It was a rare opportunity for her to speak her true feelings in front of others, so Sakura Airi quickly added another sentence.
“I don’t know whether it can be realized…”
"As long as you want to, there is nothing you can't do." Wu Yi said affirmatively.
"Really?"
"Of course, I said so."
Volume 293: Chapter : Sakura Airi's Thousand-Layered Routine
There are never too many people in the shopping mall on weekdays.
However, in order to take into account Sakura Airi's timid personality, Wu Yi chose a restaurant with fewer people and selected a seat as close to the inner corner as possible to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.
All in all, the dinner went quite smoothly.
The two arrived at the shopping mall around five in the evening, and when they came out it was already seven in the evening and it was completely dark.
Walking on the deserted path that he and Ichinose had walked on before, Wu Yi looked at Sakura Airi beside him.
"How was the dinner? Did you like it?"
"Well, I'm just a little full..."
The weak-looking girl with red hair and twin ponytails nodded quietly. The light from the street lamps on both sides of the road shone on her cheeks at different angles, revealing a noticeable blush in the warm color.
Maybe it was because of the heat in the shopping mall just now, or maybe it was some other reason.
"that……"
"Ok?"
"actually--"
Sakura Airi's eyes wandered, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage.
"Actually, I wanted to ask if Wu Yi had anything else to discuss with me today?"
"…I'm just guessing, maybe I misunderstood…"
She hurriedly added the sentence, then turned her head slightly and looked cautiously at Wu Yi from the side.
Oh no, is this girl's intuition so sharp?
Wu Yi raised his hand and scratched his forehead.
"That's indeed the case..."
"About the special exam?"
"Correct."
"So, do you need me to participate?"
"Uh, yes."
Sakura Airi guessed Wu Yi's intention three times in a row, and he suddenly didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Originally he was planning to slowly bring up the topic of letting Sakura participate in the competition, but now it seems that there is no need for that.
"Forget it, I'll just be frank. Regarding the special exam, I want you, Sakura..."
After spending some time explaining the entire plan from beginning to end, Wu Yi shut up and stopped talking, quietly waiting for the girl's answer.
"Hmm~"
This time, Sakura Airi lowered her head and thought for a long time, murmuring in a rather confusing manner from time to time.
Why does it feel a bit uncertain?
Realizing that there was an unexpected delay in the progress of the plan, Wu Yi decided to give it a little boost.
"Of course, I also know that it's a bit sudden to let you, Sakura, participate in the competition all of a sudden. If it's really not possible, then you can let Kei or Kikyo participate."
"No, no! I'm not unwilling!"
As if afraid that Wu Yi would misunderstand, Sakura Airi raised her head abruptly and waved her hands quickly to explain when she heard what was said.
"I was actually just thinking about what kind of clothes would be appropriate to wear if I were to participate in the competition..."
"clothing?"
"Well, actually I have a lot of clothes in my closet. They were all bought when I was a print model. But I usually wear school uniforms to school, and pajamas in the dormitory on weekends, so I basically have no chance to wear them."
Sakura Airi continued to explain.
"Also, when I was a print model, I just did whatever I wanted to shoot for fun, and I didn't really know much about dressing... So, if possible, can you give me some advice, Wu Yi?"
"Oh, that's fine."
Wu Yi agreed casually.
"Well, then the time will be this weekend... Oops!"
At this point, Sakura Airi suddenly covered her mouth and let out a small exclamation.
"what happened?"
Somehow, when Wu Yi heard this exclamation, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"No, nothing..."
Sakura Airi looked away nonchalantly.
