"think."

"Then why did you hit me..." Ebina Hina pressed the place where the two had been fighting, as if to relieve the pain. Then she looked at Yuigahama Yui who was grinning beside her, "And Yui, you're still laughing. Why do you think Hikigaya took the initiative to raise his hand to participate in the preparations for this school festival?"

"Hey, isn't it because he wants to participate..."

"Because I told him in advance that our class project is the Butler Cafe, and Hikigaya Hachiman is on the lesser of two evils between the Butler Cafe and the school festival's executive committee. Otherwise, do you think he would have taken the initiative to participate in the preparations for this school festival?"

Yuigahama Yui thought about it carefully. With Hikigaya Hachiman's personality, he always avoided these things. No wonder he took the initiative to participate in this executive committee... Yuigahama Yui thought that Hikigaya Hachiman came here to get along with her, but now it seems that she was just being wishful thinking.

"Thank you, Hime. You can have more of mine in your lunch."

Ebina Hime's goal was Yuigahama Yui's sumptuous lunch box. "Hmph, I told you not to speak up for me just now and to just watch the fun from the sidelines. Your lunch box is mine, and mine is yours."

This is a lunch box swap, Yukinoshita Yukino watched from the side. Her behavior with Zuo Yu yesterday could also be considered a lunch box swap to some extent.

Even though we eat leftovers...

"Hey, Hime, can I have a bite of my own?"

"No."

Yuigahama Yui looked at Ebina Hina's lunch box, a purely vegetarian lunch box made of wild vegetables. No wonder Ebina Hina insisted on exchanging lunch boxes with hers.

She looked at Yukinoshita Yukino beside her, "So...Xue-yu, can you let me have a taste of yours?"

Yukinoshita Yukino pushed her lunch box towards Yuigahama Yui, and Kurohime Yuto beside her also said, "If you don't mind, you can eat hers too."

Yuigahama Yui took a bite of Yukinoshita Yukino's bento, which was a bit spicy. She then asked, "Xiaoxue, why did you make a spicy bento again today? It's delicious, though."

"Is it spicy?"

Yukinoshita Yukino took a bite and found the taste quite suitable. She didn't taste much spiciness. "Is it that you can't handle spicy food, Yui?"

Sometimes, Yumiko Miura and the others tasted the bento made by Yukino Yukinoshita, and they all agreed that the bento made by Yukino Yukinoshita was spicy.

It's really strange, how can my cooking be spicy, and I can't even sing it...

"It's a bit spicy, but compared to the spicy bento Xiaoxue made a few days ago, this isn't spicy at all... So, Xiaoxue, is this a new spicy bento you tried specifically for that boy?"

Yuigahama Yui thinks that this bento with a slightly spicy taste must have been specially prepared by Yukinoshita Yukino for the boy she likes.

It seems to be true. Yukinoshita Yukino unconsciously added a little spicy food when cooking. Could it be that her taste is also moving towards Zuo Yu?

"more or less."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought about what happened the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday, in order to cook for Zuo Yu, she specially made some dishes with a spicy taste.

Yukinoshita Yukino found out why she unconsciously added chili to the food, and she could no longer taste the slight spicy flavor.

Zuo Yu was injecting spiciness into his body, while he was using his mind to experience the spicy food. So, without realizing it, he had become tolerant to spicy food. No wonder he couldn't taste the spiciness of his own cooking.

"So how's the progress between you and that boy?"

"It's a little closer, I guess."

Yukinoshita Yukino was thinking about the fact that they exchanged leftovers two days ago and that Zuo Yu bought her clothes, and she answered Yuigahama Yui like this.

Chapter 136 The Youth of Two People

The autumn morning light covered the entire school. It was only September, but the school already had a somewhat bleak atmosphere.

Zuo Yu and Fang Xuan lay by the window, watching the high school students next door passing the time.

Fang Xuan placed his arm on the windowsill for support, one hand propping up his face. He looked across at the high school students, who were leaning on the handrail in the corridor, pointing and talking at them, as if mocking their pitiful vacation time. "Old Zuo, how can they have a full Mid-Autumn Festival holiday this time?"

Zuo Yu also supported himself on the windowsill with his hands, looking at the cute junior students opposite them. The excitement of just returning from vacation had not yet dissipated, and they were very active. There was also a boy and a girl chasing and playing in the corridor. Zuo Yu guessed that it was probably because of something like checking recitation.

Probably, the teacher assigned recitation during the holidays, but the boy did not recite during the holidays. Now that he is back from vacation, he will be checked. So in order to avoid reciting and buy time for his own recitation, the boy chose the strategy of disappearing in the classroom during get out of class breaks, and thus there was a chase plot between the two.

Youth.

Zuo Yu heard Fang Xuan's complaints and looked at the energetic sophomores next door. "Don't worry, they'll be the ones in jail by this time next year. Besides...we seemed to be even more resilient than them when we were sophomores."

"Indeed, it will be their turn next year, and then we can laugh at them to our heart's content...as college students."

"Look at that boy being chased. Does he remember how you felt when your team leader was chasing you to check your recitation?"

"That... Tsk, I just don't understand why these teachers like to assign memorization homework during the holidays. That stuff is much more terrifying than written homework. If you're slow at memorizing, it takes a long time. If you're fast at memorizing, you can finish it in one morning self-study session. For someone like me who's slow, it takes a day to memorize it."

"Hahaha, you're not that talented at memorizing. It's a good thing you didn't go to the liberal arts class. Every afternoon after lunch, when I go up the stairs, I can hear the voices of the liberal arts students reciting their lessons. I don't know where they get such talent for memorizing."

Fang Xuan looked at Zuo Yu with disdain. This guy was taking advantage of his speed in endorsement and making sarcastic remarks.

"I have a pretty good talent for memorizing things, but I just don't like it..."

"I don't like memorizing things either, but it just keeps coming back to me."

Looking at the high school sophomore next door, Fang Xuan didn't want to bother with Zuo Yu for a moment. This guy really deserved a beating when he was being so Versailles.

"You are really young."

Zuo Yu couldn't help but sigh as he watched the high school sophomores unleashing their energy. Perhaps because they'd just returned from vacation, there were an unusually large number of them hunched over the corridor railings. He glanced back at his own classroom. Hmm...most of the students were engrossed in their studies, while a few were quietly chatting. But overall, it was still a class that was focused on learning.

"This can be considered a kind of holiday syndrome. We just came back from vacation and our body clocks haven't adjusted yet, so we still have extra energy to make trouble, unlike us who are already old people."

"Really? I think we don't have the prerequisites for holiday syndrome... Take this holiday for example, do you think it's a holiday... It's more like a weekend, or the kind where you have to go back home on Sunday night for evening self-study."

"The solution to holiday syndrome is not to have holidays. If there are no holidays, there will naturally be no holiday syndrome... It's a very school-based solution."

"I don't think so."

Yan Meng walked to the side of the podium and spoke to Fang Xuan who was lying on the windowsill.

"What's going on?... Why don't you take a look at the situation in our class? Does it look like they're experiencing holiday syndrome? Everyone's buried in their studies, just like before the holiday."

Fang Xuan pointed at the people in the class. There was no difference from before the holiday. Obviously, the holiday did not affect the learning atmosphere in the class at all.

"I don't know about others...but you seem to be suffering from holiday syndrome."

"No way... I'm the same person after the holiday as I was before it, right?"

Fang Xuan responded to Yan Meng somewhat helplessly. He had clearly spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with Yan Meng, and he didn't know what about him seemed to have holiday syndrome.

He is obviously the same as before the holiday.

"I'm referring to your grades this time. You're fifth this time, right? Before the holiday, you were third... The drop in grades is a sign of holiday syndrome."

"The results are out." Zuo Yu heard what Yan Meng meant. They had just finished the test yesterday afternoon, but the results came out this morning. This seemed to be the fastest time.

"It's out. I just saw it in the office. You are still first, the monitor is still second, and as for Fang Xuan... he is fifth." Yan Meng poked Fang Xuan on the back, as if complaining about why his grades dropped after the holiday.

This was consistent with Fang Xuan's usual lifestyle: whenever he returned from vacation, his grades would definitely drop. However, Yan Meng still couldn't quite accept this, probably because they had spent Mid-Autumn Festival together, and her grades had improved, while Fang Xuan's had declined.

"It can't be helped. Who knew that every time I came back from vacation, my grades would drop by two or three places... This time, we were spending the vacation together. You can't say that my grades dropped because I didn't study during the vacation."

Fang Xuan spoke as if he was complaining, and it was obvious that he did not have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival this time.

"Who knew your grades would drop even if you studied during the holidays... Is this really some mysterious question?"

"I can't say." Fang Xuan touched Yan Meng's long hair, his five fingers shuttled through it, and then Yan Meng rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Be careful in the classroom." Then she turned around and pulled Li Shu out together.

"Isn't Yan Meng forcing you to do homework during your vacation?"

"Do you still remember the test papers we bought together last time... Didn't I pretend to take a set back that time... And then Yan Meng..."

"Forcing you to finish it during the holidays?"

"Hmm... or the kind that doesn't involve looking at the answer."

Fang Xuan was a little reluctant to accept his vacation. It had clearly been Zuo Yu's idea, to let the people there experience the atmosphere of the holiday here. But that girl saw through it immediately. That was fine. Why didn't she do any homework during the vacation, while he had to do the test?

This is really...

"You deserve it. It's your fault that you cut ties with me as soon as something was exposed. You put all the blame on me."

Zuo Yu felt that Fang Xuan deserved it. He heard it from Yukinoshita Yukino. Fang Xuan immediately cut off responsibility and explained that he was the one who did it all.

Although he was the one who came up with the idea, Fang Xuan, as an accomplice, also has to bear certain responsibilities.

"Good brothers are meant to be sold, especially good brothers worth fifty dollars."

"So, you've been writing exams with Yan Meng during this holiday?"

"How else... this isn't a normal situation where her parents aren't home, otherwise I'd definitely go out with her... right now her parents are still at home. So, how are you doing over there? I saw you smiling so happily when you changed back the day before yesterday. Is there a chance?"

"Well, that girl is indeed attractive. I am indeed attracted to her."

"As expected... How's the progress? Speaking of which, there are a lot of tricks you two can use with this method... For example, you have her consciousness in your body, and she uses your body..."

Looking at Fang Xuan's winking eyes, Zuo Yu knew that he could not spit out any ivory from his mouth.

"Stop, they're serious people."

"Who knows... If girls become shy, we won't have much of a chance. This is my personal experience."

Fang Xuan still glanced at Zuo Yu with a meaningful look.

"But, it's a pity that you're a third year of high school now. If you were a sophomore or freshman, you could still go there and enjoy the campuses from the anime... things like school festivals, sports festivals, school trips, holiday club activities, and fireworks displays. Unfortunately, you're an old guy now... you can't enjoy those things anymore."

Indeed, Zuo Yu only watched the fireworks display seriously once at Yukinoshita Yukino's place, and it wasn't the kind of thing where he could relax and watch... He was very tense at the time, afraid of being discovered by others.

However, even if he and Yukinoshita Yukino were in the same world, it would be difficult for the two of them to have any intersection.

On my side, with endless exams and busy studies, I don't have any extra time to participate in things like clubs.

It's a different story for Yukinoshita Yukino. They have a lot of extracurricular activities. Even if they don't participate in those activities, they have plenty of time to do part-time jobs and even have the leisure to worry about whether they are really themselves.

In other words, Morgana was the one who brought him and Yukinoshita Yukino together, otherwise...

"By the way, do you and Yan Meng have any plans for the next holiday?"

"What's wrong... I'm just saying this out of the blue, but there's nothing planned. So, what do you want to do?"

Zuo Yu looked at the white clouds in the sky and said softly, "So, do you want to go to the zoo to see the pandas? I have a way to get some off-peak tickets. Do you want to go with Yan Meng?"

"You want us to go with that girl, right? However, I recommend you bring one more person..." Fang Xuan turned around and saw Zuo Yu looking at the sky, so he also looked up at the sky. "After all, you don't want her to be a light bulb, do you?"

"Then take Li Shu with you."

Zuo Yu remembered that Yukinoshita Yukino was a panda lover and he still remembered the panda dolls at her home. As for why he wanted to bring Li Shu, it was because Yukinoshita Yukino was very similar to Li Shu to a certain extent.

And if I choose Ji Zanyue, Yukinoshita Yukino will probably explode.

After all, that was the one who did what Yukinoshita Yukino didn't dare to do...

As the bell rang before class, the two of them used up their break time. They were already in their respective seats, so they just sat down. The teacher walked into the classroom, and the class began.

The autumn afternoon sun can no longer bring much warmth to people. Yukinoshita Yukino thought so as she sat in the service club's classroom, leaning against the window and enjoying the autumn evening sun.

A few days ago, everyone was still struggling with whether to wear autumn school uniforms or summer school uniforms. Now there is no need to worry about it. The temperature will help everyone choose the appropriate school uniforms.

"Xiaoxue is amazing! The student union president was asking everyone who wanted to run for the chairperson position on the executive committee, and I didn't expect Xiaoxue to actually raise her hand... What's even more amazing is that when everyone saw Xiaoxue raise her hand to be the chairperson of the executive committee, no one objected."

Yuigahama Yui was chatting with Miura Yumiko and the others about the meeting they had just attended to establish the executive committee. There were more people attending this meeting than the last time, and they were the ones who could make the school festival a success.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino did not expect that no one except her was willing to be the chairman of the executive committee.

As soon as she raised her hand, everyone agreed as if they had been fooled. Thus, she easily became the chairperson of the school festival executive committee.

She had clearly prepared a campaign speech, but she didn't expect to have no chance to use it at all. She just raised her hand and got the job.

It's not as great as Yuigahama Yui boasted.

"I understand... Yui... we are all here." Miura Yumiko comforted the extremely excited Yuigahama Yui, who might have thought she was the winner.

"Hehe...I'm happy for Xiaoxue." Yuigahama Yui turned to Yukinoshita Yukino and said hesitantly, a little embarrassedly, "Um...Xiaoxue...I have something to ask of you..."

Still not much has changed, but given enough time that should change.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and closed the book, then said to the hesitant Yuigahama Yui, "Do you mean to put you and Hikigaya Hachiman in the same group... I'll consider it... I'll put you in the same group with him when the time comes."

"That's amazing, Xiaoxue... You knew what I was going to say before I even said it."

Yuigahama Yui didn't expect that her little thoughts would be seen through so easily. She originally thought that Yukinoshita Yukino would not agree to her request, but she didn't expect that Yukinoshita Yukino would take the initiative to propose this matter.

Yukinoshita Yukino just smiled at her, and then said to Miura Yumiko, "Yumiko, do you want one too... with Hayama Hayato... just like Yui."

"of course yes."

Unlike Yuigahama Yui's hesitation, Miura Yumiko generously accepted Yukinoshita Yukino's kindness.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Miura Yumiko who accepted it generously, and then looked at Yuigahama Yui beside her. Why did it seem like every time she changed back, she had to help them solve love-related problems?
