In order to hide it from Atobe, Ryuri Chiba spent an entire afternoon writing the letter before handing it to Su Yu.
"Give it to him tomorrow. Let me prepare myself …" The girl looked at Su Yu awkwardly. "Um … I've been spending your money recently. I'm sorry. I'll pay you back when I have the chance."
She felt guilty about what she said, but she felt that Su Yu was the most special one among all the people she had bewitched. She didn't give everything to her like everyone else. She treated her as if it was the spring rain. Perhaps it was the iced tea that was placed in her drawer early after PE class, or the jacket that she had thrown on the table. Someone treated her so gently, and she had no choice but to spend her money.
If it wasn't for the fact that Su Yu was a girl, she would have thought that she had a warm boyfriend.
Even Qianye Liuli, who had always taken others' contributions for granted, couldn't help but promise that she would return the favor in the future, even though she didn't know how long it would take for her to do so.
The luxury car that drove her around every day and the constant change of accessories had already wiped out her pocket money. Although she used to ask her parents for more money, the savings at home were not enough for her to squander. In order to maintain the status quo, she had no choice but to think of ways to earn money. Now that she had Su Yu, she felt a lot more relaxed.
"If I really succeed in marrying Atobe, I'll give you a garage full of sports cars!" She raised her voice so that she wouldn't sound so weak. However, Su Yu's reaction was very calm. She took the letter and stuffed it into her bag without even looking at it.
"You mustn't peek!" Even so, Qianye Liuli was still worried and added.
Su Yu waved her hand and left the school before her.
The next day, which the girl looked forward to anxiously, soon arrived.
The bell rang, and Atobe left the classroom with his books. Su Yu stood up from her seat.
Ryuri Chiba turned around and gave her a cheering hand sign from afar.
Su Yu sighed inwardly as he watched the silver-haired girl turn her head and chat cheerfully with someone else.
What was to come would come. As for Ryuri Chiba's matter, she had been delaying it for a long time.
Ever since she got closer to Su Yu, the number of times Qianye Liuli used her ability on others had obviously decreased. It seemed that she was quite satisfied to have her as an assistant. This change softened Su Yu's heart a little. Although he had already thought of a plan of action, he did not carry it out for a long time.
He decided to make use of this opportunity to deal with all of them. Atobe had had enough days of chaos and chaos.
The girl made up her mind and left the classroom from the back door, hiding in an empty female washroom. She took off her glasses and put them back into her space. She pressed the letter that Qianye Liuli had written to her lips, and with a push of her hands, she flipped out of the window.
Atobe, who had just arrived at the student council room, turned around and closed the door. When he turned around, he saw the girl with black hair nimbly flipping through the window.
"… The way he makes his entrance is still as shocking as ever." He sighed inexplicably.
"I thought you would say long time no see." Su Yu shook her skirt nonchalantly and looked up at the boy. "How is it, it's been half a month, and you still haven't guessed who I am?"
"How is that possible?" Walking forward leisurely, Atobe placed the book he was holding on the table. He placed both of his hands on the table and leaned forward to stare at the girl opposite him. "You have left too many openings. Instead of saying you were waiting for me to figure it out, you should say you didn't even try to hide it, huh?"
"Interesting, does that mean you've already guessed it?" Holding the envelope between his fingers, Su Yu mimicked him and placed both of his hands on the table. Their faces hovered above the table. "Tell me about it, Master Atobe."
They were so close that he could see his own face reflected in her clear pupils.
"… You're really good at changing your face." After a moment of silence, Atobe began to speak seriously, "To be honest, even if I've guessed it, it's hard to associate your current appearance with your usual appearance."
"But no matter how a person's face changes, the small details in her life will still betray her. No matter how delicate the disguise, it can't change a person's unique habits." Recounting what he had heard from King Ren that day, the expression on Atobe Jingo's face slowly brightened with confidence.
"As for how I found you, the answer is actually Ryuri Chiba."
"When we first met, although the conversation went smoothly, your focus was always on her. Based on this, I noticed you."
"And it just so happens that you don't disguise some of your habits at all. You even casually display them in front of me. Sometimes, the jacket that Qianye puts on the table is folded by you, right? The sleeves are folded inwards to the point where they don't show. This obsessive-compulsive technique can't be a simple coincidence."
"There are many other things, including the way you usually walk. A quiet and introverted girl like you actually walks in a natural and unrestrained manner. Sometimes, you're even a little unrestrained like a girl. This kind of posture is in conflict with your appearance."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and gestured to the girl's skirt that was rolled up when she just jumped out of the window.
"My reasoning is wonderful, right, Su Yu?" Atobe's mouth curled up. He called out the girl's name with a confident expression on his face, as if he was not worried that his conclusion would be wrong.
And the truth was indeed so. His reasoning was perfect. Su Yu stared into his eyes for a long while before she suddenly laughed. "Amazing, as expected of Atobe -sama. It seems that my disguise is still lacking."
Relying too much on items sometimes caused her to neglect other factors. This was one of her problems.
"Of course, it's mainly due to my outstanding observation skills and agile thinking." Atobe used this opportunity to praise himself. He straightened his body and used his hand to touch the mole under his eye. He felt like he had just won a soccer match, and he was in high spirits.
"Then, as a reward, this is for you." Su Yu handed the pink envelope to the boy opposite her. A mysterious smile appeared on her face. "Since you've won the challenge, you can't refuse the final prize."
"This is …" Seeing the envelope that exuded a girl's presence, Atobe guessed what it was. He had received too many of these things in the past half a month. He raised his head to look at the girl opposite him in shock and saw that she had already placed one leg on the windowsill.
"Don't expose me in class. Also, you have to come." Su Yu winked at him and flipped over the window.
Although it wasn't the first time he saw her leave like this, Atobe couldn't help but reach out his hand in her direction. He ran to the window and looked out, but he still didn't see the girl's figure.
But the feeling of being scared by her just now seemed to have stayed in place. His heart beat rapidly, and it took a long time for it to return to its original rhythm.

Keigo Atobe returned to class. When he saw the disguised Su Yu again, he felt completely different.
Like a glass that was finally wiped clean, the two figures of the girl in front and behind gradually overlapped. It was as if nothing had changed. She was still amazingly beautiful, but the people around her didn't notice.
As if she sensed Atobe's gaze, Su Yu turned her head from her book and blinked at him. Obviously, she was wearing glasses, but the lenses couldn't hide the glistening light in her peach blossom eyes. The mole under her eye seemed to be telling him something. The boy couldn't help but be stunned.
But she quickly turned her head back and continued to read her book as if nothing had happened. It was as if the blink just now was an illusion.
"What's wrong with me?" Atobe shook his head helplessly. He sat back in his seat, took out the pink envelope from his pocket, and began to open it bit by bit.
He didn't even realize that his movements were gentler than usual. Noticing the boy's actions, Ryuri Chiba suddenly leaned on the table and made a loud noise.
As soon as he opened the envelope, a piece of paper with the scent of roses fell out. It wasn't a small piece of paper, but only a few words were written on it.
"Seeing words is like seeing a face. After school, under the cherry blossom tree, we will pour our hearts out."
There was no signature, only this sentence in Chinese. Keigo Atobe looked at it for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but pinch the letter hard.
Chinese … That means, she wrote it to me. Currently, other than her, there's no one else from China around me.
Pour our hearts out … Is it a confession? Didn't she want to tell me about her hair? Why did she use such words? I can't have mispronounced it, but if she's from China, it's even more impossible that she wrote it wrong, so …
Suddenly, the boy had a premonition that he was about to receive a confession. He shook his head, then folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.
Speaking of which, when she came in through the window, this envelope was in her mouth, right?
Thinking about the girl's actions that were so much more natural than a normal girl's, Atobe Jingo did not think she had lost her composure at all. Instead, his finger caressed the almost invisible water mark, and he sank into contemplation.
Ryuri Chiba, who was right beside him, saw all of Keigo Atobe's actions. She felt like she was about to explode from embarrassment.
