Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 11 Ji Yexue had doubts.

"Damn, why are you going down like this?"

After reading the second piece of character information, Akizuki Makoto couldn't help but think to himself, "That's what I'm thinking."

Boys should take care of themselves when they go out alone, and don't let a woman like Ji Yexue target them.

Even after learning through the system why Ji Yexue had her eye on him, he still couldn't quite understand why Ji Yexue would be jealous of him.

He clearly possessed everything Ji Yexue also had—looks, intelligence, charm, and…

Well, Ji Yexue doesn't seem to possess an unshakable and great spirit, otherwise she wouldn't have been on the verge of collapse due to high family pressure and PUA.

"It seems being the president isn't easy. All that glamour in front of others is just a facade..."

Qiu Yuecheng sighed and looked down at the small brown-black round-toed leather shoes he was holding in his arms.

So, now the question is, what should he do with this shoe?

If he directly handed the shoes to Ji Yexue, wouldn't that be tantamount to revealing that he had seen through the true identity of "Miss Ghost"?

But if you report it lost, Ji Yexue won't come back to claim it.

It's just a lost shoe; she can just get a new pair. Anyway, her family has plenty of money.

"Well, let's go back to the student council room first..."

With a sigh, Akizuki carefully disposed of the shoes and left the sports equipment room.

Shortly after he left, Ji Yexue returned to the sports equipment room.

She kept pacing back and forth inside, especially near the anti-fall mat placed on the floor, as if she were looking for something.

But after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find her lost shoe.

"Did he pick it up?"

Ji Yexue frowned slightly, thinking to herself, but felt that the possibility was unlikely.

It's just a shoe, why did Akizuki Makoto pick it up?

Furthermore, when she is invisible, all the items she carries will also become invisible, whether it's clothing, keys, or other things, even if she takes them off.

She hasn't deactivated her invisibility yet, so logically, that shoe should also be invisible.

If Akizuki Makoto can pick it up, wouldn't that mean... he can see himself?

When this terrifying thought surfaced in her mind, Ji Yexue's heart suddenly sank.

Thinking about it carefully, Akizuki Makoto's reaction was very abnormal from the very beginning.

The moment she activated her invisibility and entered the sports equipment room, Akizuki Makoto immediately sensed her presence and turned his gaze to her.

Moreover, that gaze landed squarely on her, without the slightest deviation.

His subsequent reactions were also very strange.

Specifically, his gaze was always fixed straight ahead, focused on her, which was clearly abnormal.

Everyone she had previously pranked would be terrified and look around frantically when they realized she might be a ghost.

Most importantly—
She clearly didn't make a sound, so why would Makoto Akizuki directly call her "Miss Ghost"?

In conclusion, if it were only one of these possibilities, Ji Yexue wouldn't doubt that Qiuyue Cheng could see her, and could comfort herself by saying it was just a coincidence.

But when all the clues are put together, she can't help but wonder if Akizuki Makoto can really see her.

"I'll know tomorrow..."

Ji Yexue squinted, already having a preliminary plan in mind to confirm whether Qiuyue Cheng could see her.

……

……

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the club building.

Back in the student council room, Akizuki Makoto looked at the empty desk that belonged to the student council president and felt the shock of Ji Yexue's abnormality once again.

Afterwards, he summoned Yuki Takashima and Ryusuke Kurosaki back and ordered them to cease their investigation. As for the reason for stopping the investigation…

Akizuki sighed and said, "The culprit probably knows the student council is involved and has chosen to lay low for now. I doubt she'll show up again anytime soon."

"Tch, don't let me catch you, or I'll give him a back throw!"

Upon hearing this, Kurosaki Ryusuke sullenly punched his fist with his fist, clearly displeased.

Seeing this, Akizuki Makoto couldn't help but think to himself, if Kurosaki Ryusuke knew that the culprit was Himeya Yuki, would he still dare to say he would give her a back throw?

Yuki Takashima pushed up her heavy black-rimmed glasses and suddenly asked, "Does that mean we don't need to investigate anymore?"

"Do not……"

Akizuki Shin shook his head in rejection, then said, "It's just that we can pause for a few days to avoid wasting human resources."

If they suddenly say that there's no need for further investigation, that would be too unusual and would inevitably arouse suspicion.

"Ok."

Yuki Takashima nodded to indicate that she understood, and then returned to her seat to enjoy her tea.

Only Ryusuke Kurosaki seemed unwilling to give up, saying that he would not let the matter rest and would investigate on his own initiative.

Anyway, he was usually quite free, and his job in the student council was just doing odd jobs and running errands.

Knowing his personality, Akizuki Makoto didn't try to persuade him; instead, he smiled and encouraged him.

Thus, the investigation project concerning the "paranormal event" came to a close, leaving everyone with the feeling that it was all bark and no bite.

But there was nothing they could do; the culprit was Ji Yexue, who possessed the ability to become invisible.

If Akizuki Makoto doesn't point it out or provide clues, even if all the student council members mobilize and investigate for days and nights, they will never suspect Himeyasu.

……

……

At six o'clock in the evening, the school bell rang on time, and the long and lingering sound echoed throughout the school, reaching every corner.

Upon hearing the bell, everyone in the student council room put down their work, began packing up their tea sets, and prepared to leave the school.

Makoto Akizuki quickly packed up his belongings, said goodbye to everyone, and left the student council room with his schoolbag.

Before leaving school, he went to the sports equipment room one last time, put the small brown-black leather shoe that was hidden in the corner and buried under sports equipment into his schoolbag and took it with him.

At that time, he had no idea that because of his unnecessary actions, Ji Yexue had become suspicious of him.

He didn't really know why he went to all this trouble; maybe his bloodline had awakened and he had automatically picked up the item and forgotten to turn it off.

In short, this little leather shoe was like Cinderella's lost glass slipper, something he couldn't ignore.

"It's weird..."

Muttering to himself, Akizuki left the school and, after a three-minute walk, boarded the tram home.

His home is in Hakusan 1-cho, where housing prices are outrageously high. Even a 1LDK (one-room apartment) costs as much as 150,000 yen per month.

Fortunately, Ming Sheng High School is very wealthy, and he receives a scholarship of five million yen every year.

If you win a national-level award, there will be additional rewards.

After buying dinner and ingredients for the bento box to make the next morning at the supermarket near his home, Akizuki Makoto returned home and immediately began preparing dinner.

He preferred the taste of his hometown from his previous life, namely Chinese cuisine, to Japanese food, which is why he chose to make his own bento boxes to take to school.

Even back in his hometown, he was the one who cooked—from junior high school onwards, his family ate Chinese food every day.

Because it was a small coastal island, they ate all kinds of seafood sashimi every day. His parents had never eaten anything fancy. After tasting his cooking once, they immediately handed over the responsibility of cooking to him.

They especially loved the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and asked him to make it every few days.

Because he suddenly thought of his parents, Akizuki Makoto made scrambled eggs with tomatoes for dinner tonight, then made pork rib soup, and finally made shredded pork with garlic sauce.
