"So, you're saying a delinquent girl has her eyes on you?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Yeah. I don't know how I offended her, but she seems to have been secretly watching me all along..." Yuuka said.

After Yuuka finished talking with her best friend on the phone, she carefully thought back on things. And once she started remembering, she realized there was a problem.

She found that whether she was hanging out with other classmates or attending class, she always seemed to run into Qigong Shiori.

She even went through photos from a shopping trip with classmates some time ago and spotted Qigong Shiori in the corner of them.

It sent chills down Yuuka's spine. Once might have been a coincidence, but what about so many times? They couldn't all have been coincidences, could they?

That level of intense surveillance was practically like an agent investigating a suspicious target.

Qigong Shiori clearly wasn't an agent. Yuuka felt that she definitely had some kind of issue with her and might even have been waiting for a chance to make a move against her.

"What do you think, Shuizi Ge?" After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu spoke to A Shui, who was also in the voice channel.

"That sounds kind of scary... Maybe the Metropolitan Police Department in Japan should handle it?" A Shui said with a frown.

He could actually relate somewhat to Yuuka's situation. After all, as one of the few LPL players with decent looks, he had quite a few extreme fans himself.

Those people had caused him plenty of trouble and given him headaches for a long time. If it hadn't been for help from the club, he might have found it difficult even to leave the house.

Still, it wasn't really something he could complain about on stream. The moment he opened his mouth, there would definitely be drama everywhere the next day. After all, a 100% teamfight-participation AD wasn't just a joke.

"That person hasn't taken any concrete action yet. If we call the Metropolitan Police Department rashly, there's a good chance it won't solve anything, and it might even provoke her," Zhao Yu analyzed quietly.

Evidence mattered everywhere. While they could certainly act like certain people who didn't care about evidence, given Japan's current state of affairs, it definitely wouldn't be worth it.

Most importantly, Yuuka attended a girls' school. They were both female, so there was no possibility of taking advantage of any special privileges.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Yuuka was nearly in tears from anxiety.

"Don't panic. I'm thinking of something for you..." Zhao Yu comforted Yuuka softly.

"Has Lord Yu ever run into something like this before? How do you deal with it over in China?" Yuuka asked.

"This? Usually, I just greet them directly," Zhao Yu said.

"Huh? Greet them?" Yuuka didn't understand.

"Simply put, the best way for men to solve problems is to have a fight. If that doesn't solve it, then fight again," Zhao Yu said, scratching his head.

"Th-That might be a little too difficult for me," Yuuka said awkwardly.

She was completely hopeless at sports. Calling her too weak to truss a chicken would not have been an exaggeration.

If someone like her went PvP against Qigong Shiori, then judging by Qigong Shiori's record of beating several boys into submission, she would basically be serving herself up on a platter.

[True, all it takes is one "What are you looking at?" to start PvP mode.]

[LOL, overflowing with martial virtue, huh?]

[Obviously. Staring that hard, isn't she clearly obsessed? Giving her two punches wouldn't be strange.]

"Don't just roast me! Be useful for once, brothers!" Zhao Yu couldn't help saying to the Bullet Screen.

[If you ask me, just tell a teacher?]

[Or find some friends you know, beat her to the punch, corner her, and ask what exactly she wants.]

The Bullet Screen began offering one terrible idea after another, leaving Zhao Yu with nothing but a helpless sigh.

"As expected, it's useless to place my hopes on you guys."

[Tch, then why did you ask us if you're so capable?]

[Why don't you come up with an idea?]

"You know what? I actually do have an idea." Zhao Yu looked at the Bullet Screen and suddenly had a thought.

"Listen to me. Tomorrow, try to stay with your classmates, then keep an eye on her movements. Once she follows you, ask her directly what she wants from secretly following you around all this time."

Zhao Yu had only come up with this idea after thinking for a while. With other people around, that girl wouldn't dare act recklessly.

And once the fact that she had been following Yuuka was exposed, even if she denied it, she definitely wouldn't have the nerve to keep doing it afterward.

"Wouldn't that be a bit bad?" Yuuka hesitated.

If she exposed her in public, wouldn't Qigong Shiori feel embarrassed?

"Huh? Why are you still thinking about her?" Zhao Yu was baffled. Was this girl an idiot?

She was being followed, yet she was still worrying about the person following her.

"It's not that... It's just... wouldn't it be better to be a little more tactful?" Yuuka said.

She didn't know why Qigong Shiori was paying so much attention to her, but saying something like that in front of a group of people would be no different from ruining Qigong Shiori's future school life.

After all, this was a girls' school. Half a day was all it took for gossip to spread to everyone.

Yuuka didn't want to do that. Ruining someone's reputation felt a little too extreme.

"You... Then what are you planning to do?" Zhao Yu felt frustrated that she refused to toughen up. Why was this girl always so timid?

"Don't be angry, Lord Yu. How about I find an opportunity to talk to her alone?" Yuuka said, trying to soothe Zhao Yu.

"And you're not afraid of danger?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Though there's a chance Classmate Qigong might bully me, I think maybe she has some other reason?"

Yuuka had more or less calmed down by then. After thinking it over carefully, she realized that Qigong Shiori had never actually made a move before, had she?

The simplest and most direct way was to ask what she had done to offend her.

"If I really did something wrong, I'll apologize to her properly. Classmate Qigong probably wouldn't hit someone who apologizes, right?" Yuuka said quietly.

"Out of all the options, you picked the most cowardly one..." Zhao Yu sighed.

"How about this? Keep your phone recording at all times. Even if she tries to hurt you, you'll have evidence, and the school can punish her."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu continued in an extremely serious tone.

"Don't tell me that even if she hits you, you still won't fight back—you'll just let her bully you and refuse to report her."

If that were the case, Zhao Yu would not become close friends with Yuuka. A girl overflowing with that kind of martyr complex might do something utterly ridiculous at any moment.

"Of course not. If it's not my fault and she still bullies me, I won't just sit there and take it," Yuuka said.

Hearing that, Zhao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yuuka might be soft-hearted, but at least she wasn't a pushover.

Meanwhile, after listening to their conversation, A Shui suddenly thought of something.

"Bro, Yuuka goes to a girls' school, right?"

"It's a girls' school. What's the problem?" Zhao Yu asked.

"The problem is huge!" A Shui suddenly raised his voice.

"She keeps watching her, follows her everywhere, and it's a girls' school. You really think that isn't a big problem?"

"Uh..." Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly widened as a very dangerous possibility came to mind.
