"Okay, let's eat quickly. It's probably going to rain soon."
"Um……"
There was no more conversation, and the only sound between the two was the metallic sound of knives and forks touching each other.
Sparing his life would be nice, since he would inevitably be expelled from school. And then telling Nan Yun that it was his childhood sweetheart who pleaded for him would be a serious insult.
Wu Yi thought as he stared at the black clouds floating quietly in the distant sky.

We have to find a way to develop Asahina as well. Given Nanyun's personality, it would be more painful than beating him up so hard that he drops out of school. What do you think? (scratching head)
Volume 316: Chapter : Toilet Talk ()
At the same time, in a men's restroom on the second floor of the Zelkova Shopping Center, two high school students who had just finished their first year of study were talking.
Of course, both are male.
They are for Hashimoto Masayoshi from Class C of the first year, and Ryuen Sho from Class D of the first year.
Because the cleaning staff cleans the bathroom carefully every day, there is no unpleasant odor in the bathroom. However, this unique meeting place still makes Long Yuan look around as soon as he enters the door.
After observing around and making sure there was nothing special, he finally set his sights on the person who asked him to come here.
"So, what are you trying to do by calling me to this place?"
"No, no, don't say it so harshly. I just want to summarize this year."
Hashimoto spread his hands in a pretentious manner.
"Summary? In a place like this?"
Ryuuen couldn't help but sneer.
"Have you, Class C, fallen to this point? Even though it's almost the end of the month, you're not so poor that you have to run to the toilet to drink urine, right? Do you want me to treat you to a cup of coffee downstairs?"
"If it's just the two of us, I'd be happy to accept it." Hashimoto raised his hands as if he was holding up a white flag, "But I've made an appointment with another person, and I told him the meeting place is also here. If we change the venue at the last minute, it would be a bit of a joke."
"Oh, right, Ryuen, do you want to guess who I've made a date with?"
"Who knows?" Long Yuan was too lazy to deal with his little tricks.
"It's Wu Yi~"
As Hashimoto said this, his eyes were always on Ryuen's face, and he was concentrating on observing every slight change in his facial expression.
But Long Yuan just looked at him as if he was a fool from beginning to end, and didn't even want to say a word.
After about two seconds, Hashimoto let out a sigh of relief.
"Ah, it turns out that this half-hearted lie can't fool you. I called you here--"
Before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom door getting closer and closer.
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and the next second, a figure that was no stranger to either of them came into their sight.
It was Ryuji Kanzaki, the second-in-command of Class B, the first grade.
"Oh yeah? You really called an interesting guy here, Hashimoto."
Seeing Kanzaki walking into the bathroom, Ryuen showed an interested look.
"Because he said he wanted to meet you no matter what, so I acted as the go-between." Hashimoto leaned against the side and said lightly.
"You want to meet me no matter what? Do you want to tell me what you think after Class B's disastrous defeat in the Commander's Tower exam?" Ryuuen mocked loudly.
"A fiasco?"
There was undisguised anger in Kanzaki's eyes.
"I don't think we lost to you. Don't forget that you just used the dirtiest means to forcibly seize the fruits of victory. Don't forget this."
What Kanzaki said was not without reason. In the first two rounds of the Command Tower exam in which all members participated normally, Class B won with an overwhelming advantage. If it was a purely head-on confrontation, Class B would definitely be stronger in terms of overall strength.
However, for Long Yuan, the Internet cafe warrior who was born in the sewer, this level of scolding was no different from the barking of a dog. It could not shake his heart at all, and could not even stir up the basic emotions.
"How boring! Did you come here just to say something like that? What do you mean by dirty strategy? Are you referring to me as the commander?"
Although Long Yuan is crazy, he is definitely not a fool. He would never do something like intentionally giving evidence to his opponents.
So Kanzaki couldn't help it anymore.
"Don't play dumb! I'm talking about those students who suddenly had diarrhea on the day of the exam, and those students who were threatened by you before that!"
"Oh~ So this kind of thing has happened~"
Hashimoto, who did not know the details of the exams for other classes, clapped his hands excitedly when he heard this.
Ignoring this incitement, Kanzaki pointed at Ryuen and said righteously: "I'm putting it here, don't expect this despicable behavior to work on Class B in the future!"
"Hehe, that's what I said, but do you think Ichinose can defend himself, or are you planning to complain to the school?"
Long Yuan smiled and suddenly seemed to think of something. He raised his eyebrows and exclaimed.
"By the way, isn't Wu Yi the president? Let your classmate Ichinose go to him and cry, and offer your body to him as a deal. Maybe he will really agree to help you, right? I'm not kidding, this is indeed a good way to quickly get promoted to Class A~"
"Ryuuen, shut up!!"
Kanzaki was almost furious.
"I have indeed supported Ichinose and assisted him over the past year, but this is because when she entered school, I judged that Ichinose was a person who could better demonstrate the unity of Class B than other students. My trust in her has never wavered. However, at the same time, she also has great weaknesses such as her inability to avoid crisis situations and her inability to abandon the weak when emergencies occur."
"Oh? I thought you were just talking nonsense, but now it seems quite interesting. I didn't expect that there would be someone in Class B who only cares about holding hands and playing house who has such thoughts."
Long Yuan changed the subject and remained dismissive.
"I don't hesitate to use my mouth. Even a dog can do it with just an empty roar."
"Then try it if you have the guts, and let me prove it." Kanzaki said coldly.
"Hahaha okay, since you expect so much, I will destroy you more thoroughly next time."
Ryuuen laughed loudly, used his shoulder to push the two men aside, and walked out the door in a casual manner, leaving a sentence in the air.
"I was hoping that you wouldn't be a small class of trash."
……
On the other side, Wu Yi, who had just finished lunch and parted with Asahina, had walked less than twenty steps out of the western restaurant.
Snapped!
A bean-sized raindrop fell from the sky and landed precisely on the center of my eyebrows.
Judging from the strength of the raindrops and the humidity in the air, Wu Yi turned 180 degrees without thinking and returned to the western restaurant.
Almost as soon as he stepped under the eaves of the western restaurant, heavy rain poured down, almost forming a white rain curtain that rushed down violently. In less than three seconds, the ground within sight was soaked, and it didn't look like it would stop any time soon.
Wu Yi was not panicked at all. Although this place was not inside the shopping mall, it was within the coverage of the shopping mall, so there was actually an umbrella rental service in front of every store.
After opening the S system personal terminal and scanning the code to pay the points, Wu Yi casually took out an umbrella from the bucket, opened it, and then stepped on the curb at the edge of the green belt and walked leisurely into the rain.
It was quite an amazing experience, because of the sudden downpour, there was no one on the street.
In addition, the dense rain curtain blocks the view and blocks everything out, making people feel isolated from the world.
However, just when Wu Yi made up his mind to hang out in this rainstorm for a while, a familiar figure vaguely appeared in the rain in front of him. He didn't even hold an umbrella, but just stood in the rain in a daze.
The feeling of déjà vu made him subconsciously wonder aloud.
"Ichinose?"
Volume 317: Chapter Princess Hug in the Rain
Compared with the previous Ichinose, the Ichinose that Wu Yi met at this moment was obviously a little bit abnormal.
If I really have to describe it, it's probably just like that class voting test, I was all alone, distraught, as if I had lost my backbone.
But that time it was because he couldn't gather the 20 million personal points needed to save his classmates.
And this time... needless to say, it was naturally because the students of Class B were drugged by Class D during the Commander Tower exam.
Wu Yi can basically guess these.
The girl just stood in the middle of the rainstorm, closing her eyes and raising her head slightly, letting the oncoming raindrops that hurt her skin soak her through. The cold rain gathered into small streams, flowing down her hair, from head to toe.
The wet dress stuck heavy to her body.
When borrowing an umbrella just now, Wu Yi took a glance at the weather forecast. It was said that the rain would continue until tomorrow morning. If left alone, this silly girl might really stand in the rain for an hour or two... Wu Yi thought.
Ichinose raised his head to face the oncoming storm.
However, the next second, the rain suddenly subsided.
The heavy rain that had suppressed people to the point that it was difficult to breathe disappeared in an instant, and only the sea breeze filled with water mist was still blowing towards us.
She felt someone coming up behind her, and a familiar warmth stood out in the cold rain, accompanied by a familiar voice.
"What are you doing here alone? You'll catch a cold if you get caught in the rain."
"Student Wu Yi..."
Ichinose opened her eyes in surprise, her wet hair tangled between her brows, making her look both embarrassed and a little funny.
She hesitated for a moment, but returned to looking up.
"You...you go back first. I want to get in the rain for a while."
"it is good."
Unlike in romance TV dramas where they say "I'm with you" and then do something like "two people have an umbrella but still get soaked", Wu Yi agreed to her request without hesitation.
"I'll be three steps behind you. When you're wet enough and want to go back under the umbrella, just take three steps back."
As he said this, he really took three steps back.
The waterproof umbrella was moved away from the girl's head, and the heavy rain poured down again, covering Ichinose.
After one step, the figure became blurry, after two steps, only the outline was visible, and after three steps, almost nothing could be seen.
It really was an unreasonable rain. It was sunny in the morning, but it started to rain heavily right after dinner. It was just as the plot required it...
Just as Wu Yi was hesitating whether to send a message to Karuizawa Kei and Kushida Kikyo, who should theoretically still be shopping in the mall, telling them that it was raining heavily outside and they didn't need to rush back, hurried footsteps were heard in the rain.
Wu Yi raised his head and saw a soft and delicate body breaking through the heavy rain and rushing into his arms in the white mist of the sky, and hugging him tightly.
There was no sobbing, no whimpering, and no whispering. Ichinose just held me in silence, like a drifting ship that had found its own safe haven.
"Have you gotten wet enough?" Wu Yi said, "Should we go back to the dormitory?"
As he said this, he tried to take a step forward, but Ichinose still stood there motionless.
Wu Yi thought about it and understood the reason. He sighed softly, bent down slightly, put the hand holding the umbrella through the girl's back, and with the other hand, he held her legs and gently pulled her up from the ground in a princess hug.
Wu Yi glanced sideways at the girl who had to raise her head in surprise due to the change in her center of gravity, and smiled.
"It's OK. It's not too heavy. I'm quite confident in my arm strength."
"Um……"
In this situation, Ichinose didn't know what to say. Neither agreeing nor rejecting was possible. All he could do was turn his head slightly to the side with red cheeks.
She's actually a little bit arrogant.
The two of them strolled leisurely in the rain, from the shopping mall to the dormitory building, and then took the elevator upstairs.
After returning to the dormitory, Wu Yi pushed Ichinose into the bathroom without hesitation, while giving her some instructions.
"Take a shower first. You can hang your clothes on the clothesline in the middle. I bought that specifically to prevent your clothes from drying out on rainy days. Turn on the heater. It should be almost dry by the time you finish your shower."
"Um……"
Although he was still weak, it was just a bath and he didn't need help. Ichinose nodded softly and walked into the bathroom barefoot.
Soon, as the warm light of the bathroom heater came on, the sound of dripping water was heard.
This wash took nearly an hour.
Wu Yi didn't know if she was simulating getting wet in the rain, but since there were even simulated goats in this world, simulating getting wet in the rain didn't seem to be a strange thing.
In short, an hour later, when Wu Yi was boiling water and making tea in the kitchen, the bathroom door was opened and Ichinose, who was wearing a dress that was barely dried, walked out.
"I made some hot tea, you can drink some..."
Seeing Ichinose walking into the kitchen with her face looking normal except her cheeks were a little red, Wu Yi thought she was fine and said.
However, before he could finish his words, the girl, who smelled of shower gel, stretched out her arms and hugged him.
