Chapter 35: If Sakura Kyoko Finds Out (Seeking Initial Subscription)

Chapter 35: If Sakura Kyoko Finds Out (Seeking Initial Subscription)

“Boom!”

Yan Huan, walking down the corridor, initially narrowed his eyes, then suddenly felt something.

A strong current surged up his spine, striking his brain directly.

In that instant, his mind went completely blank, and his body immediately went limp.

“Hmm!”

Huh?

What was this feeling?

Moreover…

Are there even stronger opponents?

Yan Huan stumbled, almost dropping to his knees but thankfully caught himself against the wall just in time.

Yet even touching the wall sent a tingle through his hand, as if it had sunk into cotton, causing him to quickly retract it.

“Hahaha.”

He widened his eyes, gasping for breath, his body slightly trembling.

In that fleeting moment, he had sensed an incredibly pleasurable sensation.

That feeling was mostly blocked by his resistance; without it…

Hiss!

He dared not imagine!

Yet despite this, a violent feedback had arisen. Looking down at this moment—

“Niu Niu, teacher didn’t call you, why did you stand up to answer the question?!”

“Because I’m good.”

Yan Huan sucked in a cold breath as a breeze brushed against him, immediately causing a chill on his face.

He then realized sweat was already starting to bead on his forehead.

Modifier.

Was this the effect of the fourth modifier?

“Yan Huan.”

At that moment, Meow-chan suddenly appeared beside him, looking quite worried.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, just… hiss.”

The aftertaste of that feeling rushed back like a tide, though it hadn’t peaked, it was still hard to resist.

He bent over, scanning his surroundings warily, but the area was completely quiet; there wasn’t a soul in sight.

“The host of the fourth modifier is also at our school, but I haven’t seen her around.”

“Wait a minute, Yan Huan, it seems like the resistance I gave you was partially broken through.”

“Broken through my resistance?”

Yan Huan asked, somewhat in disbelief.

“What do you mean?”

Meow-chan leaned closer, anxiously explaining.

“Basically, the effect of your resistance only reached about seventy percent just now. The characteristics of that modifier are very unique; it seems to have an effect that ignores part of your resistance, which is why you felt so uncomfortable.”

You…

You just used a huge armor-piercing ability, huh?!

There are even abilities that penetrate resistance?!

Bending over, Yan Huan was momentarily stunned, speechless.

What was even scarier was that he had worn loose black pants today, and he had no idea why he chose such an obvious style.

Meanwhile, Niu Niu showed no signs of letting up, seemingly having entered “Gundam Mode.”

The sudden attack from afar left Yan Huan with no time to find out who the culprit was, and even scarier was that faint sounds of conversation drifted in from the stairwell.

“Hey, Sakura Kyoko, when can we check out that cat at your house again?”

It was You Anli Na!

“Hmm, Mi Yue is almost done. How about this weekend?”

It was Sakura Kyoko!!

“How about Saturday? I can come on Saturday!”

“Is Sunday not okay?”

“Ah, I have to go to the Linyi Gate game exhibition on Sunday; that exhibition is huge and so interesting. Sakura Kyoko, want to go with me?”

“Hmm, I’ll think about it.”

“Can’t let you think about it; every time you say you’ll think about it, nothing happens! Plus, it seems like Yatsuha and the president are going too; didn’t they tell you?”

“…Is that so?”

Oh no, Sakura Kyoko and You Anli Na are back!

Yan Huan’s pupils shrank as he glanced at his phone; there was a message in the group chat, but unfortunately, he had set it to silent mode and missed it.

Sakura Kyoko: “President, we’ll be back shortly to discuss the upcoming club battle with you.”

The issue was, in his current state with a big bulge, he really couldn’t go out to meet them; if the Student Council members found out…

His career as Student Council President might just come to an end.

Hiding in the restroom was a very good choice, waiting for ‘Little Yan Huan’ to calm down first.

But the problem was, he had just walked down the corridor directly opposite the Student Council office with Spencer. To get to the restroom on the top floor, there was only one route.

He had to go back, taking the corridor around from the Student Council door.

During the process, he would inevitably run into Sakura Kyoko and You Anli Na, who were coming up the stairs.

So, the only solution was:

First, hide at the entrance of this corridor, wait for them to enter the Student Council office and close the door, then sneak off to the restroom.

Yan Huan bent over, leaning against the wall as he entered the blind spot of view at the corner, attempting to use the cold tiles to cool off.

Good boy, Niu Niu, be obedient!

But Niu Niu remained stubborn, the power of unspent vitality utterly unstoppable, and wouldn’t listen to a thing.

Sakura Kyoko, wearing a western-style dress, and the bouncy You Anli Na soon reached the top floor, arriving at the office door in no time.

Sakura Kyoko gently knocked, softly greeting,

“President, we’re back.”

“…”

No response.

You Anli Na tilted her head, looking at Sakura Kyoko and said,

“Is the president not in the office?”

Afterward, she cautiously pulled the door handle, revealing the empty office.

“Really not here; the president might have gone to the restroom. Let’s wait for her to come back here.”

You Anli Na dashed to the leather sofa, but Sakura Kyoko did not act as casually.

Sakura Kyoko, who loved to watch Yan Huan, had an impulse for digging deeper, so even if the other party was in the restroom, she wanted to see what just happened.

Her gaze flickered, and without entering the Student Council office or closing the door, a virtual image suddenly appeared before her.

Room Barrier, activate!

Checking past surveillance footage.

In the image, Yan Huan was sitting at the desk, reviewing documents.

Then, a series of loud knocks echoed, unmistakably people outside were kicking the door.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

“Who is it?”

The president asked.

“I, Spencer.”

That guy?!

Sakura Kyoko’s pupils contracted slightly as she watched the president stand up and walk toward the door.

Upon opening the door, as the office wasn’t covered by her barrier, she couldn’t see Spencer’s expression outside, only hearing her annoying voice.

“I’m here, President~”

Even calling the president was nauseating, and it always felt deeply meaningful.

As expected, Yan Huan inside the office also showed a “disgusted” expression.

But then he turned back, pointed towards the outside and said,

“Let’s talk over there.”

“OK~”

Talk outside?

Sakura Kyoko withdrew the virtual image, frowning as she looked outside.

In other words, the president was currently alone with that girl named Spencer?

And she hasn’t returned yet?!

“Kyoko, I want to drink your black tea.”

You Anli Na’s voice pulled her back to reality.

“Hmm.”

Frowning, Sakura Kyoko casually responded to You Anli Na.

And as You Anli Na eagerly poured the drink, she noticed Sakura Kyoko still standing at the door, curiously asking,

“Aren’t you coming in?”

“I’m going to the restroom.”

“Okay~ Hehe, Sakura’s black tea.”

Ignoring the cheerful You Anli Na behind her, Sakura Kyoko closed the Student Council door and walked outside.

Meanwhile, Yan Huan, hearing the door of the Student Council close, assumed they had all gone inside, and as he was about to get up, Meow-chan urgently stopped him.

“Don’t move, Yan Huan, that Sakura Kyoko is still outside!”

Sakura Kyoko?

Yan Huan sat back down; he didn’t crouch down because it was just too uncomfortable.

Over there, Sakura Kyoko reached the intersection of the corridor.

Walking a short distance forward and turning right leads to Yan Huan’s hiding spot, while the left corridor was where An Le was hiding, and the right side was the stairwell and restroom.

It could only be said that at this moment, the top floor of the Student Council had a feeling of “a storm is brewing.”

Standing at the intersection, Sakura Kyoko lowered her head and took out her phone.

Opening the app, she accessed Yan Huan’s chat window, dialing with a single touch.

Fortunately, Yan Huan had foreseen this and had set his phone to silent mode beforehand.

He sat on the floor, the lingering sensation still not fully subsided, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead, and he thus pressed the lock screen button.

Not answering, nor hanging up—just leaving it like that.

“Doo doo. Doo.”

It was still not getting through, making Sakura Kyoko increasingly worried.

Just what was Spencer saying to the president?

Sakura Kyoko turned her steps, planning to check in the direction of the restroom.

This week, she had two barriers; one was already set in the equipment room behind the gymnasium.

Though there was another, she must first remove the Student Council’s barrier to release it.

Unless necessary, she didn’t want to do that.

As she walked towards the restroom, Sakura Kyoko softly called out,

“President! Are you in the restroom?”

On the other side, hearing Sakura Kyoko’s voice, Yan Huan couldn’t help but smile wryly and said to Meow-chan,

“Looks like she really came to find me.”

“Meow~”

Meanwhile, on the other side, An Le, the source of the chaos, quickly hid.

She had just seen Yan Huan staggering against the wall, unable to stand firm, and couldn’t bear to look at him any longer.

Crouching beneath the wall, hugging her knees, she glanced nervously at Little Pinky beside her,

“What… what should I do? I didn’t mean it; I just…”

“.”

Little Pinky was truly lost for words.

Originally, the plan was going smoothly, letting her taste a bit of sweetness, experiencing the thrill of using the modifier, and then gradually deepening the usage.

Was there a problem with the decision?

Absolutely not!!

But it had never anticipated this guy could mess things up so badly.

Damn, after telling you countless times to only give a little bit, now you’ve filled our President to the brim!

What are you doing?

Do you think this is one of your weird galgames?!

Now look, with this mess, An Le definitely won’t touch the modifier for a long while!

Oh dear, why am I so unfortunate, picking such a host!

Thus, the two hiding.

One, An Le, feeling guilty and wanting to cry; the other, Little Pinky, doubting life and wanting to cry.

But just as An Le didn’t know what to do, Sakura Kyoko’s voice calling out for Yan Huan resounded.

“President! Are you in the restroom?”

An Le, with tears in her eyes, blinked and exchanged looks with the despairing Little Pinky.

Sakura Kyoko called at the restroom door, glanced around the empty surroundings, then stepped into the girls’ restroom.

After finding nothing, she squinted her eyes and directly entered the boys’ restroom.

The top floor usually only had members of the Student Council; no one else would come to use it.

All the stalls were open, and there was no one inside.

“…”

Not in the restroom.

Sakura Kyoko walked back to the intersection of the corridor, seemingly contemplating the previous scene.

She had seen Yan Huan point to one direction and say, “Let’s talk over there.”

So they were most likely discussing something on this floor.

If he wasn’t in the restroom, then…

Sakura Kyoko’s sharp gaze swept towards Yan Huan’s hiding spot as she lifted her foot, preparing to head in that direction.

“Yan Huan! She’s coming!”

The phantom Meow-chan was startled and quickly turned to warn Yan Huan.

Turning around, he found Yan Huan was already shut-eyed, murmuring something,

“Cold as ice, everything is still; my mind should be calm, watching myself alone.”

“What are you mumbling about, meow?”

Yan Huan, gasping, opened his eyes. Although his face still bore traces of the lingering pleasure, looking down, Niu Niu appeared to have already been transcended, adhering to the celestial path.

He sighed in relief, smiling wryly at Meow-chan,

“Ancient tools for guidance from past lives.”

“.”

Meow-chan stared wide-eyed, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Yan Huan tidied his clothes, then quietly stood up, his expression perfectly managed.

Thus, as Sakura Kyoko furrowed her brow and approached to search, he happened to bump into Yan Huan, who seemed to be walking toward her.

Upon seeing Sakura Kyoko, he slightly froze, then smiled,

“Sakura Kyoko.”

“President?”

Sakura Kyoko lifted her gaze to face the president, scrutinizing closely and precisely sensing the slightly hurried breaths and fine beads of sweat on his face…

What happened?

Alarm bells rang in her heart, but she tried to casually ask,

“Did the president just go do something? I called but didn’t get an answer.”

“Ah, the call?”

Yan Huan pretended he didn’t know, hurriedly took out his phone, glanced at it, then apologized,

“Sorry, I was busy with study group matters earlier, so I didn’t see it.”

“Study group?”

Sakura Kyoko quietly glanced at the empty corridor Yan Huan had just come from, unsure if he had been doing something in the classroom.

The key issue was…

Why did the president look…

Like he had just exercised?

Why did he seem somewhat fatigued but also a bit…

Not fully satisfied?

Looking at Yan Huan, a faint trace of that earlier intense pleasure still lingered on his face, noticed by Sakura Kyoko.

At that moment, a thought struck Sakura Kyoko and her heart jolted.

Not fully satisfied?

What would leave someone feeling not fully satisfied?

Moreover, he had just been with Spencer; when leaving, everything was fine, so why upon returning it…

Huh?

Sakura Kyoko’s mind went blank, but her heart quivered.

“President… was the study group matter related to that Spencer?”

“Spencer?”

Yan Huan was taken aback, then said,

“She did come by just now but left soon after.”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was off.

Hiss.

Not again, why does it feel like déjà vu is intensifying?

Alone with the blonde girl, yet when the male lead arrives, what he sees is the female lead who looks like she’s just gone through pleasure but is trying to act normal.

Could that pleasure be a part of that blonde girl’s modifier?!

But if that were the case, Spencer’s modifier was way too powerful!

With cognitive-level alterations, the ability to change room rules, and now even a pleasure that pierces through one’s resistance…

Highly unlikely.

Yan Huan personally believed that the attack he had just experienced came from another modifier host.

But looking at the concerned Sakura Kyoko, he genuinely worried about whether Spencer’s modifier would affect her in any way.

After a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said,

“I had a quarrel with her; she didn’t want to join the study group, which led to a messy end. I can’t get along with her; it might be better to have Yatsuha help out.”

Upon hearing Yan Huan’s words, Sakura Kyoko quickly spoke up.

“President, then please let me help too; I’ll take responsibility for her.”

“Hmm, Sakura, if you want to help that’s fine, but it’s best to also help me or Yatsuha with some work from others.”

“Why?”

Yan Huan smiled at her, explaining,

“Even I got angry with her; you’ll definitely feel upset dealing with her too; I don’t want you to be in a bad mood.”

“Eh?”

Sakura Kyoko’s eyes widened slightly, then she quickly turned her gaze away.

“What about Yatsuha? Won’t he feel bad too?”

“Hmm, which is why I’m asking him to help too; we’re both quite laid-back about it; anyway, it’s just school tasks assigned, so giving it our best is enough. If You Anli Na does a bit better in her studies, having her lead that Spencer might work wonders.”

“Hehe.”

Sakura Kyoko covered her mouth, chuckling softly beside Yan Huan. She slowly walked alongside him, heading toward the Student Council office.

“Who knows, maybe that You Anli Na could become a great support.”

“That’s also true.”

Over at the corridor, faint whispers drifted through.

An Le could no longer hold back as she peeked over.

However, what she saw was Yan Huan and Sakura Kyoko, a pair of handsome and beautiful youths happily conversing.

Little Huan seemed to have eyes only for Sakura Kyoko.

And Sakura Kyoko covered her mouth in a laugh, filled with shyness and warmth.

An Le’s tearful eyes widened as she stared at the heavenly couple.

“Hiss.”

Little Pinky flicked its tongue, glancing over there and then at the dazed An Le.

Another wicked thought sprouted in its mind.

“Oh dear, it seems there’s nothing to worry about. Fortunately, with that Sakura Kyoko around, it doesn’t matter even if you’re feeling bad as long as she’s there.”

“Eh?”

An Le turned to look at Little Pinky with wide eyes, but it only casually remarked while watching Yan Huan and Sakura Kyoko.

“I didn’t see it in person before, but now that I’m looking, they really seem to match well together.”

Match. Match well?

Little Huan and that Sakura Kyoko.

An Le’s face turned pale, as the tide of insecurity surged within her, making her wish she could bury herself underground.

But Little Pinky’s voice resounded timely,

“However, don’t be disheartened; she doesn’t have your super ability. Next time, don’t make the same mistake that’ll make Little Huan unhappy; you still have a chance.”

“Really?!”

An Le grasped this lifeline, hurriedly turning to Little Pinky.

“Of course, why would I lie to you? I’ve already said…”

Little Pinky sighed, looking at An Le.

In its crimson serpent eyes reflected An Le’s gradually twisted shadow.

“You’re the child of luck in this world.

“Do whatever you want.”
