"Okay, students, this is the last stop for the Totsuki Bell Tower tour. Please line up and leave in an orderly manner, and do not linger in the school.

"The school is currently preparing for the club war, so please don't cause trouble for your brothers and sisters, okay?"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Good~"

Afterwards, they all walked out of the clock tower while communicating with each other as if they had gained something.

Sakuramiya Hitomi stood there with a smile, watching them leave. Only when the girl in the sakura costume walked past her, she smiled at her with her hands covering her mouth and said,

"It seems that you are very satisfied with your life in a foreign country, sister~"

Sakuramiya Hitomi came back to her senses, looked at the petite girl in sakura clothes next to her who was not much different in height from her, sighed, and said,

"Yeah, unlike you, you've been in Linmen for a while now, but you probably don't have any friends, right?"

"."

The girl in the sakura costume was laughing with her hands covering her mouth, and her movements froze instantly. Then she pointed at Sakuramiya Hitomi and said angrily,

"Hmph, Sakuramiya Hitomi! The strong always walk alone, while the weak stick together for warmth. It seems that after being away from your family for so long, you have become so weak, haha. Haha."

Sakuramiya Hitomi looked at the laughing girl in front of her, and after a moment of silence, she said,

"Cry if you want to. There's no one else here."

"Hahaha, how could I. Woo woo woo."

As she was talking, the girl in front of her began to shed tears pitifully and said in confusion,

"Aaaaaah!! None of them pay any attention to me!! Wuuuu. It's been several months. I'm still. Still alone. I want to go back to my country and don't want to stay in this crappy place anymore."

Sakuramiya Hitomi showed a speechless expression, then gently reached out and tapped her head, saying,

"If you change your argumentative, know-it-all, and dishonest personality, you might be able to make friends soon."

"Is it true?"

"real."

Sakuramiya Hitomi withdrew her hand, and her expression became a smile.

"Also, cousin Sakuramiya Ryo, you must be polite and call me by my name instead of calling me by my sister's name. Got it?"

"!!"

When Sakuramiya Ryo saw Sakuramiya Hitomi's expression, he was so scared that he gasped.

She nodded silently, then took a few steps back. When she was about to leave, her expression suddenly changed, and she made a face at Sakuramiya Hitomi.

“No way!! Idiot Sakuramiya Hitomi!! You’re only a few years older than me but you’re acting like an elder, humph!”

Veins bulged on Sakuramiya Hitomi's forehead, but the next second, the girl in front of her turned around and ran away.

This made Sakuramiya Hitomi angry and helpless.

She turned and walked towards the viewing corridor outside the clock tower. After walking around the corridor, she could have a panoramic view of the huge campus from the center.

"That idiot has a poor sense of direction. He has been chatting with me for so long, so he won't be able to catch up with the main group."

Sakuramiya Hitomi leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. The breeze blew past, silently wiping away the polite smile on her face like a mask, and eventually turned it into the indifference that strangers kept away from.

Just as Sakuramiya Hitomi seemed to be admiring the view, a female voice suddenly sounded beside her.

"Miss Sakuramiya."

Sakuramiya Hitomi was still looking at the scenery of Totsuki Academy below. She had already recognized the person who came and listened to the female voice continue to speak,

"I never thought that the eldest daughter of the Sakuramiya family would be assigned to be a mere tour guide at school."

"The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit"

Sakuramiya Hitomi sighed and said,

"If my cousin wasn't also on the tour group, I wouldn't have come here in person, Nara."

Beside her, a tall and charming woman in a suit walked out from the darkness, came to Sakuramiya Hitomi, and looked at the scenery below with her.

"You are relatives, so it can't be called 'for profit', right?"

"People do everything for the sake of profit. So-called family affection is just a kind of profit."

Sakuramiya Hitomi had a blank expression on her face. She stretched out her hand to try to catch the breeze, but it flowed away from her hand and she couldn't catch it.

"The family is united by blood, and they support each other, transfer benefits, and resist risks.

"Blood is like a natural covenant. It is often maintained and moved just to prove that the covenant is still strong. Even if you are far away from home, it is still the same.

"Sakuramiya Ryo is my aunt's daughter. Although the uncle who married into my family is not very capable, my aunt still has the final say. Now that we are here, there is no harm in maintaining the relationship."

Nara looked at the scenery outside and did not reply.

It was already approaching dusk and school was almost over, but one could still see students wearing "Totsuki Student Union" sleeves leading a group of volunteers moving between the various facilities.

Check equipment, clean swimming pools and other venues, and communicate with various school administration departments.

The entire student union is extremely busy because of the [Club War] which is coming in a few weeks.

As Nara was looking down, she seemed to suddenly see something interesting. She smiled charmingly at Sakuramiya Hitomi and asked,

"Is that child the childhood sweetheart of Yan Huan that you mentioned earlier?"

Hearing this, Sakuramiya Hitomi looked down and what she saw was Anle walking with his head down in the evening light, carrying a schoolbag on his back.

"Wow, your breasts are so big."

Upon hearing this, Sakuramiya Hitomi's originally expressionless face became a little gloomy.

She retracted her gaze and said disdainfully,

"What era is this? Nara, you still have the aesthetics of primitive society. How sad and lamentable."

"."

Nara didn't reply, but just thought that Sakuramiya Hitomi was sour because she couldn't eat the grapes.

But she also noticed something and asked Sakuramiya Hitomi,

"That child, is she unpopular in school? Why does it feel like so many people are whispering to her?"

"It's just because the day before yesterday, that big mouth You Anlina found out about her and the president, and then spread it to the whole school, that's all."

Sakuramiya Hitomi held her chin in her hand, watching Anle running away in a panic under the gazes of others with a look of discomfort, and sneered.

"As for her poor popularity, in my opinion, it's probably because she's too weak."

Nara looked at Sakura Palace in confusion and asked,

"How to say?"

"Declaring her the president's childhood sweetheart can be both good and bad. It depends on how you handle it."

Sakuramiya Hitomi had a blank expression on her face, staring at Anle walking on the "Book of Life and Death" like a judge.

After a moment's silence, she wrote down her verdict.

“The strong will only take such comments as a compliment and accept them calmly; the weak will take such comments as a thorn in their back and will just want to find a quiet place to hide.

"The identities of Ye Shiyu and the president's siblings are also circulating in a small circle. Do you think she is afraid? On the contrary, because of this, people with her personality have made many friends.

"On the other hand, Anle, even though she had the opportunity to use her prestige in the school to save herself from being ignored and bullied in class, she couldn't even catch it.

"For such a person, even if the road to salvation is laid out before her, she would not have the courage to embark on it, just because she sees one or two bushes of thorns ahead."

Sakuramiya Hitomi withdrew her gaze, not wanting to look at Anle over there anymore.

"Such people will eventually die without a burial place due to the pressure around them. It may seem like it was caused by external forces, but in fact it was because they were too fragile."

Nara heard this and said with a smile,

"Then you took the initiative to get close to her, showed concern for her on the plane, and helped her pave the way for joining the club?"

Sakuramiya Hitomi looked at Nara and said,

"If it weren't for her relationship with the president, do you think I would care about her life or death? If there is no interest involved, I won't have the time to meddle in other people's business.

“No matter where you are, who would help others without reason and without asking for anything in return? Such people will only suffer losses and be hurt by the environment all the time.”

Sakuramiya Hitomi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, changed the subject, and asked,

"Compared to this, you came to school at this time. Did you find out what I asked you to find?"

"of course."

Nara took out two stacks of paper materials from his arms and handed them to Sakuramiya Hitomi. Sakuramiya Hitomi took them and read them carefully. The first thing that caught her eye was Ye Shiyu's photo.

"Ye Shiyu, mother Ye Lan, is from Tianjing, Dragon Country. After her parents divorced, she followed her mother to live in Pengcheng, Handong."

As Sakuramiya Hitomi read, her brows furrowed and she muttered quietly,

"It's really interesting. The Ye family didn't agree to Ye Lan marrying this man named Song Chenggong, but at least they gave them a house in Tianjing as a wedding house.

"Even so, Song Chenggong still cheated on his wife and gambled, and ended up getting kicked by Ye Lan and losing his fertility?"

Nara leaned on the railing and pointed at the document and said,

"That's why she and Ye Shiyu left the house empty-handed."

"."

Seeing that Sakuramiya Hitomi didn't say anything and just read the documents, Nara looked at the campus below and suddenly said,

"But Miss, isn't Yan Huan the person you mentioned who would help others without asking for anything in return? And yet you, like this kind of person, like this kind of person? Isn't that contradictory?"

Sakuramiya Hitomi continued reading the document, her eyes scanning the information above one by one, and she said,

"Yes, that's why I want to protect him secretly, so that he will never suffer any loss or get hurt."

Nara was slightly startled, then smiled charmingly.

"Yes, just like this, I want to secretly protect Miss Sakuramiya."

Hearing this, Sakuramiya Hitomi seemed to have goose bumps. She covered her body and took a step back, looking at Nara with extreme disgust, and said,

"Old woman, please don't say such disgusting things to me. It's disgusting."
