Long Aotian, Don't Get Lost in Beauty Anymore!

The next day~

Sakura dragged Long Aotian to a spot on campus without surveillance cameras.

Sakura stood in front of the lens, striking various cute poses, and only stopped to check the photos after snapping several in a row. She looked at her youthful, vibrant self on the camera screen and wore a satisfied smile.

Next, she pulled Long Aotian, who was standing to the side, over to take a picture together.

Long Aotian looked blank, having absolutely no idea how to pose. Sakura laughed helplessly and taught him hand-over-hand how to make a heart gesture. Just as the shutter clicked, a gust of wind blew, and cherry blossom petals fluttered down like pink snow. The two in the photo were surrounded by cherry blossoms, the scene as beautiful as a painting.

Sakura looked at this photo, incredibly happy.

Long Aotian looked at Sakura, thinking that if this photo were uploaded, the fans' hearts would probably shatter. I wonder if I'll get jumped by someone with a sack over my head while walking down the street in the future.

However, footsteps suddenly echoed from afar, and it seemed someone was walking toward them. Worried about being discovered, Sakura hurriedly pulled Long Aotian to hide behind the nearby bushes. The two pressed tightly against each other, not daring to breathe until the footsteps faded away, at which point Sakura finally let out a sigh of relief.

He patted Sakura's head—it was actually quite addictive. Come to think of it, why would anyone be here?

"They're gone. Where should we go next?"

"Aotian, let's go to that building! Let's go to the third floor to take pictures!"

Sakura pointed excitedly at a building not far away, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and joy, like two bright stars.

"Hmm?"

Long Aotian looked at the building Sakura pointed to. Could that be the one from the plot?

"Alright."

"Hehehe, let's go!"

Sakura's mood was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and radiant. She held Long Aotian's large hand tightly, her steps light and brisk.

Upon reaching the third floor, Sakura let go of Long Aotian's hand and began searching for the best spot to take photos. She would crouch down, then stand up, trying to find the perfect angle.

Long Aotian stood quietly to the side, checking the surrounding environment. Too familiar, way too familiar. Isn't this the crime scene for the fight? Better place a [Flying Thunder God Mark] first.

"Aotian, over here."

Finally, Sakura found a spot she was satisfied with. She looked at Long Aotian and smiled.

Long Aotian walked to her side with a smile and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her. Sakura picked up the camera, adjusted the angle, and with a "click," the happiness of this moment was frozen in the photo forever.

Looking at the photo in the camera, Sakura's happy smile was as brilliant as a blooming flower.

Long Aotian took the camera from Sakura to check the photo. I have to say, Sakura's photography skills are quite good; she found the angles and lighting perfectly.

"Cough, cough, send them to me later, okay?"

"Okay."

Afterward, Long Aotian and Sakura strolled through several places and took over a dozen photos. Along the way, Long Aotian also noted several locations without surveillance, making it convenient to drag people here in the future.

"Aotian, let's go eat! Let's celebrate our happy time today!" Sakura's voice was full of anticipation; she looked forward to spending more warm moments with Long Aotian.

Long Aotian nodded with a smile, his eyes filled with doting affection. He gently held Sakura's hand, felt the warmth of her palm, and a warm current surged in his heart. He said softly, "Alright, what do you want to eat? I'll take you."

Sakura thought for a moment, then suggested excitedly, "There's a very good Japanese restaurant nearby, let's go try it!"

Her eyes sparkled with longing for the food, as if she could already smell the enticing aroma.

Long Aotian agreed, and the two walked out of the building side-by-side, heading toward the Japanese restaurant.

Walking into the restaurant, a faint scent of charcoal and the freshness of seafood wafted over, making one feel instantly relaxed and happy. The interior decor was simple and elegant; the wooden tables and chairs and paper lanterns created a warm and rustic atmosphere.

They sat down at a window seat, opened the menu, and began to carefully select their desired dishes.

"This sushi picture looks good, let's get five orders of this, and two orders of that..."

Long Aotian pointed at the menu and told the waiter.

Before long, plate after plate of meticulously crafted sushi was placed before them, and both couldn't wait to start tasting.

Sakura gently picked up a piece of sushi—her favorite salmon sushi. Then, she took a light bite; the freshness of the salmon and the sweet-and-sour vinegar rice intertwined in her mouth, bringing an indescribable, wonderful texture. Her eyes lit up instantly, and her face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile.

Long Aotian picked up a piece of tuna sushi and chewed it gently. The delicacy of the tuna and the chewiness of the rice grains blended perfectly in his mouth, bringing a brand-new taste experience. He nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for the deliciousness of the sushi.

Finally, when the sushi on the plates had been tasted one by one, they looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached a tacit understanding that required no words.

Ending the trip, he sent Sakura back to her dormitory to stay for a while, then returned to his own.

Long Aotian first went to the D-intersection to retrieve his computer and phone, then transmitted them back to his dorm.

Opening the computer now, Long Aotian noticed that account A had been deleted.

It seems Horikita Manabu must have gone to find a teacher to investigate my whereabouts, but teachers don't have the authority to delete accounts. That means it was the school's upper management, and the only high-level person Horikita Manabu could reach is the Chairman.

However, Long Aotian wasn't worried. If account A was gone, there was still account B. He just had to be more careful in the future; no matter how safe it was, frequent use would eventually expose his tracks.

Long Aotian didn't plan on creating another account; that would easily expose him. Staying steady was the right move.

Next was the fight incident involving the red-haired Sudo. The solution Ayanokoji and Horikita Suzune came up with was to lure the three people from Class C to the scene and scare them into dropping the case by claiming there was surveillance footage and that it was a school test.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Long Aotian shook his head, speechless. "This is too magical. These three were already lured to that spot according to Ryuen's plan. The fight itself was meant to be covert—that is, happening in a place without surveillance. Wouldn't it be suspicious if surveillance suddenly appeared afterward? Should I call these three stupid, or is this just plot armor?"

It was too magical, far too magical. Long Aotian planned to intervene in this incident. Since those three were lured to the scene by unknown parties and fell into a trap, he would start with those three. Sudo must be expelled. I said so.

As for the incident involving Kushida Kikyo's fingerprint, Long Aotian also intended to intervene, making it easier to control her later on.

Given Kushida Kikyo's personality, she likely wouldn't be willing and would attempt to find an opportunity to bite back, but she would have no chance of uncovering Long Aotian's secrets.

Having thought everything through, he sent a message to Sakura, telling her to interact with Kushida Kikyo more often from now on.

[Sakura: Okay]

Ever since he had deducted 40,000 points under the guise of Sakura's friend after selling the test papers, part of his intention had been to have Sakura build a good relationship with Kushida Kikyo and the others.

Ayanokoji certainly wouldn't believe this excuse, while Horikita Suzune surely wouldn't have thought much of it and might not even have noticed yet; as for Kushida Kikyo, since she liked making friends, having Sakura approach her shouldn't be a problem.

As for why he had Sakura join in the fray? Because the timeline in the anime was essentially uncertain, and since reality differed from the anime, the timing might shift, so having Sakura approach Kushida Kikyo to confirm the timing would suffice.

It was just a pity for his little cutie; after all, a social recluse approaching a social butterfly was unimaginable, so he would make it up to her later.
