Revenge

"I... am back?"

Although a bit surprised, having experienced death, Bai Yuze quickly calmed down.

Taking advantage of the moment before Kamuro could commit theft, Bai Yuze took the lead by pulling out his phone to start recording.

Kamuro's subsequent actions were all captured by Bai Yuze's phone.

After filming this, Bai Yuze casually picked up a piece of candy and a thumbtack from a nearby shelf.

"Classmate, is stealing fun?"

Kamuro was startled by Bai Yuze, and just as she was about to start cursing, she froze.

Bai Yuze played the video on his phone for Kamuro to see. Upon seeing the footage, Kamuro was stunned for a moment before hanging her head in resignation.

"Don't want to make excuses? Interesting."

Bai Yuze smiled. At this moment, he was single-mindedly focused on revenge, and he quite appreciated Kamuro's decision to stop resisting, as it saved him a lot of time.

"Since you didn't expose me, it means you have other motives. Speak! What do you want to do?"

Kamuro crossed her arms, her eyes looking coldly at Bai Yuze.

"Communicating with smart people is so effortless. You just need to do me a favor; don't worry, it's not difficult."

Bai Yuze smiled as he sized up Kamuro Masumi, sighing inwardly.

"It's such a pity that someone so beautiful would be ruined over a bottle of drink."

Hearing Bai Yuze's words, Kamuro let out a sigh of relief, but upon seeing his scrutinizing gaze, her face went pale before slowly turning red.

"Heh! Disgusting!"

Kamuro cursed, then placed the drink from her bag back where it belonged and walked toward the back of the store without looking up.

Before long, Kamuro returned. She shoved the items in her hand into Bai Yuze's, saying with an expression of disgust.

"Heh, men. Hurry up and pay so we can leave!"

Bai Yuze was left bewildered by her actions.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you expect me to pay? Are you even a man?"

Kamuro was infuriated by Bai Yuze's blank standing, her face turning pale and then blue as she pointed a trembling finger at him.

"What are you talking about?"

Bai Yuze looked at the items in his hand, and then he was bewildered again.

He saw that on one of the boxes, the unique, capitalized words "Ultra Thin" were extremely conspicuous.

"..."

Bai Yuze was speechless and looked up at Kamuro.

"You... you are truly trash. I've really fallen into it today!"

Seeing that Bai Yuze remained unmoved, Kamuro sighed and tried to snatch the box back to go pay.

"Sigh, I didn't expect to fall for it today. This guy is truly a beast in human clothing; he looks so good, but his personality is beyond words."

Kamuro had been fantasizing that Bai Yuze would take responsibility after the deed, but seeing that he didn't even want to pay for the safety measures, she felt as if the sky had collapsed.

She suddenly felt as if she had aged decades, stumbling forward as she tried to grab the safety measures to pay.

"Ouch!"

Kamuro clutched her head, looking at Bai Yuze with tears in her eyes.

"How can you be like this? It's one thing not wanting to pay, but you hit me too! Wuwuwu, my life is so... wuwuwu!"

Kamuro's mouth was covered by Bai Yuze.

"Shut up! Who told you to grab this stuff? Don't act like I'm so desperate for your body."

Bai Yuze moved his hand away with a look of disgust, his hand now covered in Kamuro's tears.

"Mm? Then what do you want to do?"

Realizing she had misunderstood Bai Yuze, Kamuro immediately blushed and asked embarrassedly.

"In a moment, someone is going to bump into me. The second he does, you slip this candy into his pocket."

Bai Yuze sneered in his heart.

"Heh, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous! At this point, I'm not going to pretend to be a gentleman anymore!"

Bai Yuze had always been the type to pay back every grievance; he didn't understand the nonsense about a gentleman taking revenge ten years later—waiting even one more second was unbearable to him.

Of course, Bai Yuze would give the other party a chance to apologize: "You have to be as miserable as I am to count as an apology."

Hearing Bai Yuze's words, Kamuro froze and then mocked him.

"Heh heh heh, are you planning to perform some kind of precognition plot?"

"You don't need to worry about that, just do as I say."

Bai Yuze couldn't be bothered to waste his breath; as long as he could get his revenge, he didn't care what others thought.

"Fine, fine, whatever you say!"

Kamuro's tense mood instantly relaxed; she had thought he was going to...

Thinking of this, Kamuro secretly sized up Bai Yuze's face.

"Hmm, even though he keeps such a cold face, he's actually quite handsome. But... is my charm really that low?"

Kamuro Masumi was very confident in her own looks, yet Bai Yuze acted as if he had absolutely no interest in her body.

This made Kamuro Masumi feel a slight lack of confidence.

Soon, the target whom Bai Yuze wanted to kill with his own hands appeared in their field of vision.

Bang!

"Sorry about that."

It was the familiar collision again; Bai Yuze pretended to be about to fall, reaching out to steady himself against a nearby shelf.

"It's alright."

Bai Yuze suppressed the rage in his heart, forcing his tone to sound calm.

Bai Yuze patted the boy on the shoulder, taking the opportunity to wipe the tears off his hands.

"Hey! You guy! Watch where you're going!"

Kamuro used all her might to pull the person over, and took advantage of this moment to slip the lollipop into the other person's pocket.

"Uh... I'm really sorry, I'm truly sorry!"

The boy bowed to apologize.

"Forget it, you can go."

Bai Yuze waved his hand, signaling for the other person to leave.

"Arigato!"

The other person walked away quickly, but did not leave the store.

Seeing Bai Yuze stop her, Kamuro asked in confusion.

"Why did you let him go?"

"That guy is a sports student; you can tell by his basketball shoes. If we really start a feud, it won't be good for us."

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be afraid."

Kamuro chuckled.

"I'm human, of course I feel fear."

Bai Yuze sighed; having come back to life, he felt his face was a bit stiff.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Kamuro was a little nervous, afraid that Bai Yuze might make some unpleasant demands.

"We're going to find those two clerks to gather information."

After saying this, Bai Yuze walked toward the two clerks without looking back.

"Oh."

Kamuro replied, though her tone was a little... disappointed?

Relying on the experience from his previous life, Bai Yuze quickly struck up a conversation with the two clerks.

"Hey! Little brother Bai, why do I feel like we've met before?"

The chubby clerk laughed heartily.

"Maybe we're just fated to be, hitting it off right away."

Bai Yuze responded.

"Hahahaha, I think so too!"

Perhaps because Kamuro Masumi was standing nearby, Bai Yuze felt that the chubby clerk was talking even more.

"Sakata, you're talking a bit too much."

Sakata patted Lao Gao on the shoulder and laughed.

"Oh, what does it matter? Unlike you, looking gloomy all day long—aren't you afraid of scaring the customers?"

With that, Sakata flashed a smile he thought was very handsome and greeted Kamuro.

"Miss, my name is Sakata Yujū, and the guy standing next to me is called Takada Yū. I like to call him Lao Gao. Don't let his gloomy look fool you; Lao Gao is actually a great guy!"

Using the method of roasting a friend to open up a topic is very common, much like tripping a friend in front of a member of the opposite sex.

But Sakata successfully failed...

He neither received a response from Kamuro nor gained any favor from his friend Takada Yū.

Seeing this, Bai Yuze quickly smoothed things over.

"Mr. Sakata, were you a student here before?"

Sakata shook his head, then pointed at Takada Yū.

"I wasn't, but this guy Lao Gao was. It's truly incredible that Lao Gao managed to graduate from here safely."
