Free Web NovelChapter 1502: Chapter 443: A Fresh Start
"Good morning, Vice President Sakuragi~"
"Greetings."
"Hey, Vice President Sakuragi, are you running with President Yan again this year?"
"Well..."
In the autumn semester, the leaves of the sea apricot trees planted at Yuanyue Academy have turned golden yellow, occasionally falling like apricot rain with the gentle breeze, giving this renowned school an especially atmospheric feel.
Today is the first day of school, and everyone has put on their autumn uniforms seriously for a change.
The formal uniforms of Yuanyue Academy are of high standard, with expensive materials and appropriate designs, as if mass-producing young ladies and gentlemen.
This morning, Sakuragi Hitomi is customarily here to welcome the new students.
The opening exam for the autumn semester was only for the upper-grade students from the second grade and above; new students didn’t participate, so today truly marks their official enrollment.
The members of the previous student council will continue to perform their duties and showcase their style for some time after the start of the term, until the next election.
However, what drew more attention this year than the new students was the transfer student in the second year...
"Yuanlina..."
Thinking so, Sakuragi Hitomi pinched her chin and softly called out.
"..."
At the school gate, people were coming and going, but no one responded to Sakuragi Hitomi.
Sakuragi Hitomi blinked and then gently said, freewebnoveℓ.com
"I have some gossip here..."
"What, what?! Did you and the President do anything interesting over the summer break?!"
Just as the words fell, from the side... well, who knows where, maybe from the woods or beside a classmate, popped out a pink-haired girl holding a notebook.
Looking at Yuanlina, whose eyes were shining with excitement, Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t help but think of a cat at home seeing a cat treat.
Sakuragi Hitomi sighed and straightforwardly asked,
"...I wanted to ask, what you saw during the entrance exam, is it true?"
"Oh, oh, are you talking about that thing with the idol transfer student..."
"Hmm, is it called... Bai Yi?"
For some reason, when mentioning this name, Sakuragi Hitomi always felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had known her for a long time.
"You said yesterday during the entrance exam the President handed in the paper early to chase her?"
"Absolutely true! I was late for the math test yesterday, and I just happened to see it! Moreover, I also saw..."
As she spoke, Yuanlina leaned close to Sakuragi Hitomi’s ear and whispered something,
"That transfer student was crying, always talking to the President, looking very excited... just like a little girlfriend acting spoiled~"
"?!"
Could this be true?
Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi’s expression became unpredictable.
She had never heard that the President knew such a person before, how could they suddenly seem so familiar?
Could it be, just like An Le, another childhood friend falling from the sky that she didn’t know about?!
Isn’t this a bit too much for childhood friends?!
Is the area around the orphanage in the South District really so remarkable?
"..."
Just as Sakuragi Hitomi was thinking this, a cold wind swept past from behind her, making her turn around.
On turning back, she saw a tall, expressionless girl entering through the school gate.
The chill she exuded, like a snow lotus blooming atop a snowy mountain, shocked the new first-year students who didn’t know her, drawing their gazes...
It was Ye Shiyu.
But looking at Ye Shiyu, Sakuragi Hitomi thought for a moment and instructed Yuanlina,
"Don’t tell anyone about this, especially those in the third-year group, and even more so those in Class A..."
"Um, Sakuragi, you could just say not to tell Senior Sister Ye directly."
"..."
Sakuragi Hitomi glared at Yuanlina, who immediately said,
"Sakuragi, you know me, I’m the best at keeping secrets."
Sakuragi Hitomi looked at Yuanlina suspiciously but said,
"...I’ll treat you to fruit salad for lunch."
"!"
Yuanlina immediately raised three fingers, vowing,
"I will absolutely keep my mouth shut!"
"What’s this about keeping your mouth shut?"
Just then, behind her, a voice as melodious as a nightingale rang out, making Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyes narrow slightly.
Who?!
So close, yet she didn’t make a sound?!
She quickly took a step back and turned her head to see...
A breathtakingly beautiful girl with light makeup, her black hair swaying with the autumn breeze and carrying a pleasant fragrance, staring at her with starry eyes.
"Wow cool wow cool! Bai... Bai Yi!"
Yuanlina was hit by the visual beauty and couldn’t help but blush.
Meanwhile, Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and clutching her chest, she flashed a smile,
"Hello, Bai Yi..."
"Classmate? Oh, right!"
Upon hearing Sakuragi Hitomi speak, Bai Yi slapped her forehead, feeling troubled.
After she and Yan Huan had changed the timeline, although everything had settled, these hosts, like Yan Huan, didn’t recognize her.
But the problem was, after she kissed Yan Huan, he remembered everything; surely she couldn’t go around kissing others, could she?!
She definitely couldn’t bring herself to do that!
"Uh, this... this..."
Just as Bai Yi was bewildered over how to explain, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed the expression on Sakuragi Hitomi’s face, frёeωebɳovel.com
"Eh?"
Wait a minute...
Bai Yi blinked and froze on the spot.
Because she suddenly realized that the way Sakuragi Hitomi looked at her had changed from before!!
How to put it...
Previously, Bai Yi always felt that these hosts looked at her with a kind of... well, like they were watching a circus clown.
Not that it was disrespect or scorn or anything so severe.
Just that inexplicable feeling of a bit of amusement and speechlessness!!
This feeling, whenever Bai Yi sensed it, she would actually get a bit warm, especially with that guy Ye Shiyu!!
