After leaving there, nothing else happened. We followed Sunny Su to the club room.

I have to say, this academy really put serious effort into club activities. This building, nearly the same size as the main teaching block, was packed entirely with club rooms. Of course, not every club got one—it depended on their contributions to the school and member count.

"Li Ze? Li Ze!" Sunny Su waved her hand right in front of my eyes. "Li Ze, are you even here?"

"Sunny Su, what’s wrong? What’s up?"

"What’s up? Sigh… I give up on you," Sunny Su sighed and turned away. "I called you nonstop just now, and you just stood there like a statue. Seriously, what’s always on your mind? You’re basically asleep during class too…"

"Ahem, ahem—I think we’d better skip this topic," I said, pointing at the club building’s entrance. "Shouldn’t we head in?"

Sunny Su shook her head and strode inside. I followed, gently pulling Lin Yuxuan along.

Compared to usual days, the building felt eerily quiet today. Every footstep echoed loudly in the empty corridors, making the place feel unsettling. Well, no surprise—it was holidays. Who’d be here anyway?

But… just as that thought crossed my mind, I got instantly proved wrong.

"Miss Luo Yu~ spare us some, please!"

"Spare you? Dream on! I specially prepared this!"

Those two voices—one was probably Ye Qian’s. The other belonged to Luo Yu… total trouble.

Before I could process it, Sunny Su shoved the door open. It slammed against the wall with a loud *clatter*, the sound bouncing down the hallway.

I almost felt sorry for that door—the noise alone showed how hard she’d pushed. But this was just the beginning…

"Luo Yu, I don’t recall inviting you to today’s study session!" Sunny Su jabbed a finger at Luo Yu, who sat casually in the club room.

Luo Yu pulled a chocolate bar from a box and popped it into her mouth without a care. "Huh? Do I need permission to visit my own place?"

Then Luo Yu finally spotted me standing beside Sunny Su. She sprang up immediately and rushed over.

A sweet fragrance hit me as she moved. Her single ponytail bounced with each step, and from this angle, I caught a glimpse of her delicate hair tie.

Her uniform looked similar to ours at first glance, but tiny details screamed difference. Clearly custom-made… Damn rich people, I muttered inwardly.

"Li Ze, you’re finally here."

"Uh… were you waiting for me? What’s up?" I asked, feigning cluelessness.

A fiercer spark flared in Luo Yu’s eyes. "Li Ze, no worries. I’ll make you admit it yourself someday. Honestly, the harder you are to win over, the more satisfying it’ll be!"

I ignored her declaration and glanced behind. To my shock, even that otaku Zhao Yi was there. Now I genuinely wondered how the class monitor pulled off inviting this crew.

Zhao Yi suddenly dropped his game console and snapped, "Class Monitor! Where’s that cosplay you promised?!"
