Free Web NovelChapter 1537: Chapter 455: Zero
"Mm..."
After an unknown period, Sakuragi Hitomi’s consciousness began to stir.
Fuzzy memories, tingling sensations carrying aches, recounting some of her experiences.
Her eyelashes quivered slightly, and upon opening her eyes she found herself comfortably enveloped in bedding as white as clouds, making her rub her eyes to confirm she wasn’t dreaming again.
But in the next second, numerous memory fragments flashed through her mind.
"!!"
She widened her eyes and sat up with a slightly flushed face.
In front of her was a girl with black hair.
It was Bai Yi...
She hadn’t awakened yet.
"Hitomi, you’re awake?"
At this moment, a voice from behind drew Sakuragi Hitomi’s attention.
"President..."
She tugged at the covers to modestly shield her petite body, turning her head to see Yan Huan sitting on a chair near the window, dressed in a robe.
Behind him, the hanging curtains faintly let in some dim morning light, silently indicating it was still early.
And just now, was the early-waking President watching us sleep?
With such thoughts, the blush on Sakuragi Hitomi’s face grew more prominent.
Especially now, her impressions of last night were becoming clearer.
Sakuragi Hitomi had thought she was quite strong, but in the end...
Not long after it began, she was just crying and begging for mercy, and remembered nothing afterward.
Thinking back now, Sakuragi Hitomi’s illusion of "being capable" was entirely due to the big shot An Le last time.
An Le could casually manage most of the firepower, ensuring Sakuragi Hitomi had some presence without ending up with nothing nor being instantly defeated.
But now, with equally weak endurance, even Bai Yi who was slightly stronger than Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t handle it.
Bai Yi was pushed forward to face it, but she couldn’t withstand it either.
She would mercilessly push Sakuragi Hitomi forward as a human shield, completely lacking team awareness!!
Then, as expected, it was a complete defeat.
However, Sakuragi Hitomi didn’t feel too troubled, rather...
After all, Yan Huan was considerate in this aspect, never mindlessly pushing his own demands.
But precisely because of this, if she remembered correctly...
At this moment, Sakuragi Hitomi glanced at the bedside table next to her.
On it were boxes marked "0.01" and "0.05", only one box was opened, and of the three inside only one was taken out.
And that one...
"President... Last night did you finally..."
With such thoughts, Sakuragi Hitomi blinked and asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.
But Yan Huan instantly understood what she was implying and awkwardly changed the topic,
"Haha, don’t ask..."
"..."
Listening to Yan Huan’s words, Sakuragi Hitomi bit her lip, glancing down at her frail hands. Just as she was about to speak, Yan Huan spoke first,
"By the way, Hitomi. Actually, I should apologize for the date yesterday."
"Eh?"
Sakuragi Hitomi had intended to apologize yet Yan Huan unexpectedly apologized, so she raised her eyes to look at him.
She saw Yan Huan rubbing a water bottle, softly saying,
"Actually, I wanted to invite you yesterday, that’s why I returned to the student council office."
"..."
Sakuragi Hitomi opened her mouth but puffed out her cheeks and asked,
"If you wanted to invite me, you could have just said it on Plane..."
"Because for important things, you usually say them face to face, right?"
"..."
Indeed, that was true.
Sakuragi Hitomi never explicitly said it, but Yan Huan knew it well.
"This entire summer vacation I hardly had a chance to invite you out, although the modifier played a part and fully resolving it wasn’t entirely my fault...that was my mistake."
"Mm..."
Looking at Yan Huan who spoke, Sakuragi Hitomi’s lashes slightly fluttered.
"Rustle..."
After a brief pause, she then got out of bed.
The white sheet slowly slid from her body, with her hands slightly covering top and bottom.
Upon seeing this, Yan Huan quickly grabbed a bathrobe to pass her.
But Sakuragi Hitomi merely stretched out her hand to pinch Yan Huan’s cheek.
"..."
Yan Huan looked up at Sakuragi Hitomi in front of him, watching her reach out and touch his lips,
"Indeed, this summer we haven’t properly gone out together...plus, haven’t you spent a long time alone with the President, right?"
Bai Yi really had a big mouth like that.
With thoughts of boasting, Sakuragi Hitomi managed to extract a lot last night with a slight probe.
"Sorry..."
"Well, since the modifier issue is all sorted now, afterwards, the President must compensate with some alone time."
In the end, Sakuragi Hitomi merely smiled, speaking to Yan Huan before her.
"..."
Yan Huan’s eyes slightly trembled, gazing at Sakuragi Hitomi up close, lightly bending his head to press his face against her small abdomen.
"Alright...definitely."
He promised.
"Mm..."
But Sakuragi Hitomi wasn’t wearing a bathrobe at the moment.
This, somehow felt a bit embarrassing...
Sakuragi Hitomi’s face was flushed red, her toes clenching involuntarily upon the carpet.
Besides, would the President...
If that happened, it would be bad!
Even combined with Bai Yi, they wouldn’t match up to the President, and now it was just her!
At this moment, Sakuragi Hitomi glanced back at Bai Yi, who was still completely unconscious.
Should a conflict arise now, she’d probably...
"Grumble..."
Thinking of this, Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t help but swallow hard with a pale face.
"President..."
Actually, Yan Huan was far from having any amorous intent at this moment; he merely found being beside Sakuragi Hitomi particularly peaceful.
