No sooner had Sunny Su thrown herself into my arms than I felt a strange gaze boring into my back.

A sense of foreboding washed over me. I wanted to let go and turn around to see what was happening, but Sunny Su suddenly started struggling in my arms.

Her whole body writhed as she tried to break free.

"Calm down! Sunny Su, just calm down!"

"Calm down? About what? My club president position was stolen, and I've offended you. What was the point of my efforts? Everyone else got the perks—I'm the only victim!"

Sunny Su ranted while squirming. To stop her from bolting, I had no choice but to hold her tightly.

As I tightened my grip, something soft pressed against my chest, and a sweet fragrance filled my nose.

It might sound exaggerated, but this was truly my first intimate contact with a girl. Though unintentional, the moment stirred something in me.

Soon, Sunny Su's movements calmed. Her face flushed crimson, as if it might drip with moisture.

"Are you calm now?"

She nodded. "Mm... I'm calm."

"Then head back first..."

"But..." Sunny Su's eyes widened as if to speak, then dimmed. "Never mind. I'll go home. After that conflict, it'd be awkward to return..."

She pulled away from my embrace. A reluctant feeling spread through me, but reason always won out. When the class president stepped back, I retreated too.

"Then... Li Ze, shall we meet tomorrow?"

"If that's what you want, going back is wise. Class President, see you tomorrow."

"Mm!" Sunny Su nodded, her face regaining its youthful glow.

I waved, then turned to find the source of that gaze.

At the door, bloodstains on the glass caught my eye. Opening it, faint bloodstains dotted the floor.

I looked up and spotted Yuxuan's back.

"Yuxuan! What are you doing?"

Hearing me, Yuxuan didn't slow down—she quickened her pace.

This felt off. Normally, even angry, she'd respond. I had to follow.

Within seconds, I caught up. My abilities had only partially recovered, so I couldn't control them well—I'd failed to hear sounds earlier.

Just as I reached her, Yuxuan darted into the nearby restroom.

"So she just needed the restroom. All that worry for nothing, Yuxuan~ you're such a tease."

I didn't believe it, but unsure what happened, I waited by the door.

"Pervert senior~ move aside! I really don't want to touch a pervert. What if I catch those creepy vibes?"
