"Seriously, where did those folks run off to? I think I vaguely saw Yahashiki there too..."

On the girls' dormitory floor, Ashley held up her phone as a makeshift flashlight, inspecting each corner of the corridor as she walked forward.

Just as she reached the center of the floor near the elevator, she spotted a few sneaky girls heading towards the emergency exit.

"Hey, you there! Stop!"

"Eek!"

The girls were startled by Ashley's shout and turned around awkwardly, each holding something in their hands.

"Good evening, Ashley~"

"Good my foot. What are you all up to?"

The girls exchanged glances and then whispered softly,

"We plan to deliver gifts to the boys' dorm."

"What kind of gifts?"

"Of course, it's gifts for fate!"

One of the girls looked up at Ashley with shining eyes, while the others explained the legend of gift-giving during their stay.

Hearing this, Ashley was speechless,

"I think if someone is willing to receive ten gifts in a row, it proves something, but haven't you considered that if you give ten gifts that the person doesn't like, it won't work at all?"

"Who said we're giving gifts that the person doesn't like?"

The girls began to ponder Ashley's words, except for two who confidently showed the gifts they had prepared.

Ashley took a glance and saw that they contained very cute black cat merchandise.

One was a cat plush, and the other was a cat keychain...

"So, who are these for? The two of you have such a unified style in gift-giving."

"Of course, they're for President Yan!"

"Huh?"

Ashley quickly looked up at the two girls in front of her, who smiled sheepishly and explained,

"The President loves cats!"

"And especially loves black cats!"

"..."

Ashley pondered for a moment and realized it was true.

Because she suddenly remembered that President Yan would often use a "cat emoji" as an icebreaker before texting, and all those emojis were black cats.

"How strange, Ashley, you're with the student council all the time, and you didn't even know this..."

"Why should I know? The President is not my type."

Ashley sighed and countered,

"More importantly, how did you find out about this?"

"Well, through the President's support website."

"Wha...what, a support website?"

One girl pulled out her phone and started searching,

"When President Yan was running for President, this website was being shared in all the groups, introducing a lot of information about the President..."

"It must have been made by President Yan's elusive campaign partner back then, anyway, it became really popular, and the President's divine looks spread throughout the school..."

Ashley glanced at the well-crafted, hand-drawn picture of Yan Huan's profile as the main page of the website, commenting with a stiff smile,

"Yahashiki must be the type to do this sort of thing..."

"..."

After seeing all this, Ashley's expression turned calm again, resuming her duties as the Discipline Committee Chairman,

"Regardless, there's no visiting between male and female dorms at night, you all..."

"Ding~"

Just at that moment, the elevator doors opened beside them.

"Dear guests, all our suite rooms are fully booked. We only have one single room on this floor, but currently, the whole floor is rented out to a school from Linmen..."

"It's alright, just for one night."

The two people inside were speaking Ying Country language, which Ashley couldn't understand, but she found the voice of the responder familiar.

Turning her head to look, a wave of intense red vibes rushed in.

It was an imposing tall woman with red hair.

But unlike last time when she had a lifeless look, now her eyes were sharp, staring down at her phone, typing a message to someone.

"Are you the one from last time..."

Ashley instinctively spoke, not expecting Tong Yingying to speak Ying Country language, nor expecting her to be in Ying Country.

Tong Yingying casually looked up, her gaze passed over the girls, scaring them into hiding behind Ashley.

Seeing this, Tong Yingying's eyes gradually lost focus, and she said lifelessly,

"Yes, I'm Tong Yingying."

"Guest, please allow me to take you to your room."

"Hmm...this brat won't even reply to my messages..."

Tong Yingying nodded, took a few steps, but then turned back to Ashley,

"By the way, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Tong Yingying had hurried to the hotel where Yan Huan was staying, only to find that the little brat wouldn't reply.

"Ah...okay."

Hearing this, Ashley nodded and instinctively followed Tong Yingying's pace towards her room.

...

...

Meanwhile, with Yan Huan.

"Ding~"

His phone buzzed again in his pocket.

Ever since he got to this floor, his phone had been ringing non-stop. Yan Huan didn't know who was messaging him, but he was already overwhelmed.

Because in front of him was yet another question where all options A, B, and C seemed like dead ends.

If it weren't for the legend of gift-giving, the three girls wouldn't have thought in that direction.

He had really been bluffing about the reason for coming here.

And now, thanks to Yahashiki bringing it up, he was stuck in this dilemma again.

Yahashiki, well done!

Very well indeed!

Those pieces of merchandise you're waiting for, I'll burn them for you if I'm doomed!!
