She wasn't wearing golden armor, but a yellow safety suit with a green safety helmet.
Of course, she wasn't stepping on a colorful cloud but standing on a gigantic excavator.
It was none other than Sakuragi Hitomi here to wed... no, rescue Yan Huan!!
"President!"
"Sakuragi?"
"Vice President Sakuragi?"
Yan Huan and An Le looked at Sakuragi Hitomi, who appeared like a construction foreman, completely bewildered by her appearance.
Upon seeing Yan Huan and An Le, Sakuragi Hitomi immediately jumped down from the excavator and ran towards them with concern.
"President!"
However, after a few steps, she was already out of breath.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Supporting herself on her knees, she rested for a few seconds and then resumed running towards them, as if making the final sprint in an 800-meter race.
"..."
An Le was stunned, but fortunately, Yan Huan, who spent every day with Sakuragi Hitomi, intuitively moved forward, bringing the finish line closer to Sakuragi.
"Huff... Pres... President, I flew overnight to... Kyushu Island to arrange for people and vehicles to come... finally..."
Sakuragi Hitomi's small face was pale, her forehead sweating, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes.
Clearly, she didn't rest at all last night.
No wonder she was exhausted after just a few steps...
Oh no, even if she had rested, she would probably still be a weakling...
"You've worked hard, Sakuragi."
Yan Huan smiled slightly and spoke.
And Sakuragi Hitomi looked up and down at the unharmed Yan Huan and An Le in front of her and smiled as well,
"It's alright, I was really worried about you guys, seeing you're okay just... huh?"
Sakuragi Hitomi's gaze traveled over them and returned, but then her mind finally realized the odd detail and issued a mental command to her "eyes" to re-confirm.
So, Sakuragi Hitomi immediately looked at Yan Huan and An Le...
and instantly saw them holding hands tightly.
"??"
Sakuragi Hitomi, exhausted from the night's strain, was suddenly stunned, staring dumbfounded at Yan Huan and An Le.
Yan Huan and An Le also belatedly realized something was off.
Ack... totally forgot!
"I forgot that I was pretending to have my memory modified and became An Le's boyfriend earlier!"
"I forgot that Xiao Huan's memory modification hasn't been undone, so in his eyes, I'm still his girlfriend!"
Both of them almost simultaneously felt a sense of impending doom, like a married couple.
And just at this moment, the surrounding villagers gathered around, oblivious to the inner turmoil, warmly introducing themselves,
"Oh, little girl, you must be this young couple's classmate, right? Thank you for helping us clear the road so quickly..."
"Yes, now my Kuixiang can go to school."
"Don't worry, we've been taking great care of them these days."
"They sleep together every day, eat, drink, and have fun, they're doing great..."
"Ah, as expected of their friend. This young couple looks so well-matched together, and you are also... um, uh..."
The friendly, and somewhat overly familiar villagers looked at the out-of-breath, frail-looking Sakuragi Hitomi, who was also wearing a green safety helmet, their words of praise getting stuck in their mouths.
"A person of remarkable appearance!"
"..."
Sakuragi Hitomi's eyes widened, but she didn't hear the villagers' words anymore.
At this moment, her view was filled with only Yan Huan and An Le standing together holding hands,
"Couple... boyfriend and girlfriend... so well matched?"
"Clack clack clack..."
Though Sakuragi Hitomi might not have done it on purpose, as emotions welled up and desires surged within her, the modifier in her body became restless.
Like a tsunami, it surged toward Yan Huan and An Le.
Feeling the pressure, Yan Huan's eyes involuntarily rolled back slightly, as if he might faint at any moment.
The key problem is...
It's another dilemma.
If he denies being An Le's boyfriend, it contradicts the effort made to lift An Le's spirits earlier.
You can't keep changing the story like this, not even with the defense of a memory modification.
And if he doesn't deny it...
After Sakuragi worked all night for Yan Huan and An Le, being treated like this...
If she doesn't explode, Yan Huan would feel like exploding on her behalf.
Plus, with all the villagers around, there's no way to have a private modifier-resolved conversation between Sakuragi and An Le...
"..."
That sense of awkwardness surged back up, causing Yan Huan to almost faint again.
Our "two-hour time management prodigy" Yan Huan almost collapsed on-site without even starting out...
Is this legit?
How could it start off so poorly?
But just as Yan Huan was confronting the increasingly tense atmosphere, he bit his tongue in the next moment, recovering from the brink of fainting.
What a joke!
If he couldn't even handle this little chaotic scene, how could he ever hope to get that Crab Medicine from the four hosts in the future!!
He had to act, he had to pull himself up!!
With this thought, Yan Huan squinted his eyes and suddenly stood up straight.
The oppressiveness of the modifier followed suit, causing Yan Huan's adrenaline to surge.
And in the next moment, with the help of those surging hormones, his brain seemingly entered bullet time, and he saw a glimmer of hope...
Opportunity, at this moment!!
"..."
Yan Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then...
He softly began to speak.
