"Lalala~ lalala~ lalalala~"
Yesterday evening, after finishing dinner at the Dog Food Cafeteria, Yan Yi hummed a little tune as she climbed the steps of the Heavenly Radiance Teaching Building. Thinking about tonight's date, she felt like a girl leaping into a clear spring in midsummer, a challenger pacing across a single-plank bridge over a cliff, or a child about to open a birthday present. Her heart was filled with anticipation, excitement, nervousness, and pounding joy.
Her good mood had begun the previous evening. She had spent nearly an hour choosing her clothes that night. Because of tonight's date, ordinary weather had become beautiful weather, ordinary time had slowed to a crawl, and even ordinary students looked adorable.
She had finally made it through the day. Next up was her happy, date? ti? me?~
But before the date, Yan Yi had to go to her office and retrieve the "toy" she had made. That was one of the reasons she was so excited and expectant—after catching Sister's strange, distracted reaction last time, she had pestered her, cried, acted pitiful, and thrown tantrums until Sister finally admitted her mistake of her own accord.
As punishment, Sister had finally agreed to try the new game Yan Yi had begged her for countless times.
Yan Yi herself was a top student who had graduated with perfect marks in Radiant Stone Alchemy. Her mentor, Zhu Yan, had repeatedly said that if he ever retired, he would let her take over his Radiant Stone Alchemy lecturer position. Her craftsmanship could therefore be considered among the top ten in all Radiance.
On top of that, Yan Yi had secretly hidden away some Meteorite Luster Ore. It had taken her hardly any effort to create an extremely satisfying "toy," one that would definitely make tonight's date even
