Kurashiki Reina blinked in confusion, her small hand stiffened slightly, and her phone accidentally slipped.
Dongfang You's heart tightened instantly. He quickly bent down and grabbed the phone, only then feeling relieved.
Just as he was about to ask, his gaze also fell upon the payment code on the phone screen.
"Sorry, I got it wrong."
"Eh? No… it's fine."
Kurashiki Reina also reacted, quickly shaking her head, "You scan mine."
Then she pulled out her QR code and aimed it at Dongfang You.
"Okay."
Dongfang You scanned her QR code, and they successfully added each other as friends.
After successfully adding friends, Kurashiki Reina immediately exited the friend interface, then smiled sweetly at Dongfang You, "Then… let's talk another time."
Dongfang You also smiled at her, "Mhm."
After putting away his phone, he continued walking towards the corridor.
Kurashiki Reina stood there in a daze until she heard someone calling her name beside her, which brought her back to her senses.
"Reina, what are you looking at?"
A girl with a side ponytail walked out of the restroom and patted Kurashiki Reina's shoulder.
This girl was her very good and only best friend, named Tsushima Rina.
"Oh, nothing."
Kurashiki Reina came back to her senses, she lightly bit her pink lip, then opened her mouth to ask, "Rina, what do you think of Azuma?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Tsushima Rina looked at her in surprise, "Reina, you haven't fallen for Dongfang You, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Kurashiki Reina playfully stuck out her tongue, then pretended to be serious, "No way, I just want to be friends with him."
"Really?"
Tsushima Rina narrowed her eyes suspiciously; she always felt that things weren't that simple.
She knew what kind of person Kurashiki Reina was better than anyone!
Although she was a full-fledged queen, she adhered to the principle that looks equal justice.
Kurashiki Reina only looked at a guy's appearance when choosing a boyfriend; as long as he was handsome enough to capture her heart, she would accept his pursuit.
She could even pursue him herself!
And she was that kind of person herself.
"Of course."
Kurashiki Reina answered affirmatively, her eyes flickering a few times.
"I don't believe it."
Tsushima Rina put on an "I've seen through everything" expression.
"Then don't."
As a queen, Kurashiki Reina certainly had her pride and was unwilling to have her thoughts exposed by others.
Tsushima Rina pursed her lips, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Reina, if you like him, act quickly."
"While Dongfang You doesn't have a girlfriend yet, if you can make the first move, you can definitely win him over easily."
"Really?"
Kurashiki Reina said, half-believing, "How do you know he doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"I… guessed…"
Looking at Kurashiki Reina's serious face, Tsushima Rina felt utterly helpless and continued to push her, "What does it matter if he has a girlfriend or not? If you like him, just go for it."
"This… wouldn't be good."
Kurashiki Reina still hesitated.
"There's nothing wrong with it, you don't need to worry about anything else, just choose according to your own heart."
Tsushima Rina advised patiently, "Don't miss this opportunity with such an excellent boy like Dongfang You."
"Besides, you're the recognized queen of our school."
She added.
"I…"
Kurashiki Reina hesitated, the image of Dongfang You appearing in her mind.
His features were refined and handsome, his skin was a healthy bronze, and his build was tall and imposing. His height of over 1.8 meters made him look very formidable.
Especially last night, those long, deep eyes, illuminated by the moonlight, emitted a bloody glow that seemed to suck one's soul, making it suffocating...
At this moment, two faint blushes appeared on Kurashiki Reina's small face.
She had to admit, her heart had already been captivated by Dongfang You.
"Rina, how should I pursue him?"
Kurashiki Reina furrowed her brows, asking with a bewildered expression.
"You're so silly. If you want to pursue someone, of course, you start with the things they like, right?"
Tsushima Rina rubbed her forehead in exasperation; why did she feel like this big sister's intelligence was getting lower and lower?
But then again, Kurashiki Reina had always been the one pursued, never the one doing the pursuing!
"You can try starting with entertainment, food, clothes, and so on."
Tsushima Rina continued to suggest, "If all else fails, you can start with accessories, like watches and such."
"Mhm."
Kurashiki Reina seemed thoughtful. She nodded, then immediately turned and ran towards the classroom.
After Kurashiki Reina's figure disappeared, Tsushima Rina's expression was very surprised, and she muttered, "What's wrong with Reina…"
In less than a day, the other person had completely changed.
Was it her imagination?
Tsushima Rina frowned, shook her head, and quickly returned to her own class.

Meanwhile, Dongfang You had already left the school building and was walking towards the Baseball Club.
The moment he stepped through the Baseball Club's gate, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"You-kun, you're here~"
Dongfang You looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar and beautiful figure standing ahead, looking at him.
It was Akane Nanami, wearing a manager's uniform and a blue baseball cap.
She was smiling and waving at him, "You-kun, come here for a moment."
Dongfang You naturally wouldn't refuse his girlfriend's summons, so he stepped forward.
"Is something wrong?"
Dongfang You stood in front of Akane Nanami and asked politely.
"I have something to tell you."
Akane Nanami said seriously.
Dongfang You raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"
This Saitama is not the Saitama from One-Punch Man.
Akane Nanami paused, then added, "Supervisor Saitama wants to see you."
"I understand."
Hearing that, Dongfang You nodded slightly. He raised his hand and gently stroked Akane Nanami's head, then whispered, "I'm going to find him now."
After speaking, he walked towards the Supervisor's office.
Knock knock!
"Supervisor Saitama, may I come in?"
Upon hearing Dongfang You's words, the bald man sitting at the desk put his notes aside.
He touched his bald head and said, "Please come in."
With that, Dongfang You pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
He walked to the front of the desk and stopped.
"Supervisor, is there something you need me for?"
"Dongfang You."
Saitama tapped his palm on the desk, then slowly said, "Your progress recently has been tremendous. I've decided to officially promote you to a full member of the Baseball Club before I leave."
"What? Supervisor Saitama, are you leaving?"
Dongfang You did not show joy at becoming a full member; instead, he seemed a bit reluctant.
After all, during his time here, besides games, Saitama was the only one who had always accompanied him. Now that he suddenly said he was leaving, he truly felt a bit sad to part.
After all, his baseball skills and physical fitness were all honed by him.
Strictly speaking, the two of them could even be considered master-disciple.
