Long Aotian's Melon Eating, Sakura's Shock.

On the day the exam results were announced.

"Because Kushida Kikyo is well-suited for that kind of role."

Ayanokoji watched Kushida Kikyo surrounded by the crowd and said to Horikita Suzune beside him.

"How annoying." Horikita Suzune silently closed her eyes.

PS: Last time Long Aotian sold test papers, Horikita Suzune was the buyer. Originally, Horikita Suzune intended to distribute the answers herself, but she was manipulated by Ayanokoji into pushing Kushida Kikyo to the front instead.

On the podium, Chabashira Sae looked surprised: "To be honest, you all really shocked me."

"I didn't expect you all to score so high. I admit you've put in the effort." Chabashira Sae slowly took out a red pen and marked Sudo: "But Sudo, you failed with 39 points."

Sudo slammed the table in anger: "Are you kidding me? Why did I fail?"

"The failing threshold for this midterm exam is below 41. The total average score for everyone was 82, divided by two is 41. You are two points short."

"Although the time was short, thank you for your hard work. Please hand in your withdrawal application after school."

"I'm being expelled?" Sudo's body seemed crushed by an invisible weight; his shoulders slowly slumped, and his neck bent weakly until his head hung low against his chest.

"Please wait, isn't there any remedial measure?"

Hirata Yosuke stood up and said hurriedly.

"Failing the exam means expulsion," Chabashira Sae said slowly.

"Isn't there any other way? I cannot accept Sudo being expelled just like this." Kushida Kikyo looked at Chabashira Sae, her eyes filled with worry.

"Rules are rules. Give up."

"That's strange."

Ayanokoji turned his head to look at Horikita Suzune and said.

"What?" Horikita Suzune turned to look at Ayanokoji, puzzled: "What's strange?"

"I saw someone at this school using points to check surveillance footage earlier." Ayanokoji rested his head on one hand, puzzled: "It's as if points can buy anything."

"It's as if points can buy anything." This sentence repeated in Horikita Suzune's mind, and she immediately stood up: "Wait."

Chabashira Sae, who had intended to leave, paused her steps and looked back at Horikita Suzune: "Is there anything else?"

"Teacher, please sell me the two points for Sudo's English score."

"Oh?" Chabashira Sae was a bit surprised: "Hahaha, interesting. I didn't expect you to ask me to sell you points."

"This is my first time selling points too, let me think." Chabashira Sae pondered for a moment, then suddenly said with a serious and earnest expression: "I'll give you a special price. I'll sell them to you for 100,000 points per point."

"This..." Horikita Suzune checked the points on her phone; she only had a little over 40,000, which was completely insufficient. She turned to look at Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji noticed Horikita Suzune's gaze, shook his head, and took out his phone to show he had over 60,000 points.

Not enough! They were short by over 90,000 points!

PS: Don't ask, the calculation is correct! Look closely at the word "more"—the extra points come from Sakura Airi's improved score, which raised the class average.

"Everyone, please help out. If you have points, share some."

Kushida Kikyo seemed to notice the problem as well and spoke to everyone.

The classroom fell into an unusually quiet state...

At this moment, Hirata Yosuke stood up, took out his phone to show his points to everyone: "I'll donate over 20,000 points. Sudo is our classmate too, everyone please help."

Yamauchi Haruki seemed to notice Sudo's gaze and also took out his phone: "I'll donate over 5,000 points."

Meanwhile, Ike Kanji could only helplessly take out his phone: "I'll donate 2,000."

"How come you only have 2,000? Are you hiding some?"

Yamauchi Haruki looked at Ike Kanji, puzzled.

Ike Kanji lowered his head and said nothing.

Hirata Yosuke looked at Karuizawa Kei, only to see Karuizawa Kei also take out her phone to show the 10,000-plus points on it.

The remaining bits and pieces only added up to a little over 80,000.

"Sakura..." Kushida Kikyo looked at Sakura Airi and said hesitantly.

Recalling what Long Aotian had said earlier, Sakura Airi also took out her phone to show 10,000 points.

Enough! Exactly 200,000 points.

Even Chabashira Sae was a bit stunned; it took all of them pooling their resources to scrape together 200,000 points.

"It seems you are quite united. Very well, let's do that." Chabashira Sae said to everyone, took out her phone to receive the points, and walked out of the classroom. In the hallway, one could see Chabashira Sae shaking her head.

In Sakura Airi's dormitory~

Long Aotian was listening to Sakura Airi describe the scene.

Impressive. Long Aotian was speechless. You all had to pool together to scrape up 200,000 points? Although some people definitely didn't donate, was it really that hard for you all to gather 200,000 points?

"Aotian, you're amazing. Did you leave me 10,000 points earlier because you knew this would happen?" Sakura Airi said, her eyes shining as she looked at Long Aotian.

"Mmh." Long Aotian nodded, reaching out to cover those two sparkling, oversized eyes. "Yes, I just didn't expect it to be so difficult for you guys to scrape together 200,000 points."

In truth, there was another layer of meaning Long Aotian hadn't voiced: by borrowing the points and having Sakura donate all of hers, once others realized she had no points left, this kind of situation wouldn't happen again.

"Ah." She swatted Long Aotian's hand away, her body slowly leaning in as she pulled out her phone. "Kushida Kikyo invited me to a celebration party tonight."

As she drew closer, a subtle atmosphere seemed to permeate the air. Her body's silhouette appeared exceptionally graceful under the soft lighting, like an exquisite painting slowly unfolding before his eyes—not to mention that pair of C-cups, which were far too much to handle, looking so prominent.

"Go ahead then." Long Aotian looked away and rubbed Sakura's hand. "Just keep an eye on Kushida when you're there; there's going to be a good show to watch."

"Mm-hmm." Sakura nodded, taking his hand, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Long Aotian. "What kind of show?"

"You'll know when the time comes," Long Aotian said, looking over at her as their gazes locked.

He looked at Sakura, whose lips were as delicate and alluring as a newly bloomed cherry blossom, their natural pink hue resembling the slightly flushed clouds of dawn.

Long Aotian's face slowly leaned in~

That evening~

Inside a dormitory, a shout of "Cheers!" rang out.

"Why do you have such a speechless expression?" Sudo asked, looking at the sighing Ayanokoji as he took a sip of his drink.

"I don't mind you guys holding a celebration, but why does it have to be in my room?"

"Come to think of it, this time was really dangerous. If it weren't for the plan Horikita Suzune came up with, Sudo would definitely have been finished!"

Yamauchi Haruki shouted loudly at this moment.

ps: "Sakura donating 10,000 points here is actually not that much compared to the total, so the Idiot Trio didn't thank Sakura. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Ike Kanji looked at Horikita Suzune and praised her, "You really are amazing. It seems we had some misunderstandings about Horikita before."

No one noticed that Kushida Kikyo's expression on the side was gradually turning ugly—no, Sakura noticed.

Sakura recalled the "good show" Long Aotian had mentioned earlier today. Could it be related to Kushida Kikyo?

As time passed~

The celebration party came to an end. Kushida Kikyo left the room, and Sakura followed shortly after.

Kushida Kikyo arrived downstairs at the dormitory building, stepped out the door, and walked toward the fence, but a figure appeared in the bushes behind her.

Sakura arrived there as well, only to be intercepted by Long Aotian.

"Shh." Long Aotian covered Sakura's mouth, holding a finger to his lips, and leaned toward her ear. "Keep it down, there's a good show coming up."

"Mmph~" Hearing the familiar voice, Sakura nodded and slowly pressed her body against Long Aotian's.

Long Aotian rubbed Sakura's hand and pulled out his phone to start recording a video.

"So annoying," Kushida Kikyo muttered, her face dark. She raised her foot and kicked the fence in a rage. "This is just the worst, the worst, the worst! Why doesn't someone like Horikita just die? So annoying, truly annoying, that bitch."

The persona that had been as angelic, cute, and gentle as ever vanished in that instant. Sakura stared at the scene before her in utter disbelief.

Long Aotian stopped the recording, patted Sakura's head, and whispered into her ear, "Let's go."

Sakura nodded, took Long Aotian's hand, and they left together.

However, Long Aotian didn't take Sakura back to the dorms; instead, he snuck toward a patch of bushes further away, and the two hid inside.

"Shh, there's still more to see," Long Aotian whispered, hugging Sakura from behind and resting his head on hers.

Long Aotian sniffed the air. An indescribable, elegant fragrance wafted from Sakura, a sense of freshness and purity permeating the air, and this scent gently brushed against Long Aotian's nose.

"Damn, why did you suddenly start smelling so good?"

"Hm?" Sakura nodded in confusion, but after a moment, she understood his meaning and shyly shrank into herself.

Under another tree, Ayanokoji held his phone, hiding behind the trunk and watching Kushida Kikyo ahead.

Suddenly, his phone rang~

"Who's there?"

Hearing the sound of the phone behind her, Kushida Kikyo turned and shouted loudly.

Ayanokoji walked out, holding his phone.

What followed was Kushida Kikyo questioning Ayanokoji on whether he had seen everything, then forcing his hand onto her chest as a threat: "If you spread this, I'll report Ayanokoji for assaulting me."

Sakura was even more shocked watching from the front; her worldview had been refreshed several times in a single night.

Long Aotian rubbed Sakura's delicate little hand. "It's okay, it's okay. There will be even more shocking things in the future."

Watching the two figures ahead disappear, Long Aotian wasn't in a hurry to let Sakura show herself.

"Don't go out yet, lest we be discovered by those two on the way back to the dorms," Long Aotian whispered.

"Mm~" Sakura broke free from Long Aotian's embrace, turned to face him, and hugged him back.

In truth, Long Aotian had considered having Sakura take that phone, but taking it would have been a dead end; Sakura would definitely have been exposed.

If she had taken it, Ayanokoji wouldn't have appeared, and whether she dropped the phone on the ground or found an excuse to return it, suspicion would inevitably have fallen on Sakura.

PS: I originally wrote over 500 words detailing four different methods, but I deleted them all. I've calculated the outcomes, and any action taken after retrieving the phone would inevitably cast suspicion on Sakura. If anyone has a better idea, leave a comment and shock me.

Actually, it's better not to change anything; I can just use this video to blackmail Kushida Kikyo later.

Five minutes passed...

Long Aotian lifted Sakura, who was sprawled across him, and asked in confusion, "Are you planning to head back to the dorms while clinging to me? Aren't you worried about being seen when we get there?"

Hearing this, Sakura still didn't move. She looked up at Long Aotian and blinked her eyes: "I'll go back later."
