Chapter 200: The bell for the end of class rang

Xiyuanji Qilai turned to Natsume Chikage.

"Natsume-kun, do you have any arrangements this afternoon?"

Natsume Chikage thought for a moment and answered.

"I'm free before three o'clock, and have something to do after three. Why?"

Xiyuanji Qilai was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Nothing, just asking... if you don't have to rush to work after lunch, then we will officially start our first club activity today."

"Since you're free before three, there should be enough time."

She said, standing up happily.

"Then I'll go to the student council to submit the budget application form now."

Xuecun Lingyin also stood up slowly.

"I didn't go together yesterday, I'll accompany you today, and buy some drinks on the way back."

"Mm, that's good."

Xiyuanji Qilai nodded happily.

As for Natsume Chikage, she didn't plan to call him specifically—it was just submitting a form, they would be back soon, no need to make a big fuss.

The two walked out of the classroom, walking along the stairs toward the student council room on the sixth floor.

Just as they reached the floor of the second year, they met Yue Dao Lin head-on in the corridor.

Yue Dao Lin looked at them with a hint of surprise.

"Xiyuanji-san, Xuecun-san? Why are you here? Is something the matter?"

Xiyuanji Qilai explained the reason simply.

Yue Dao Lin showed a surprised expression.

"You established a 'Collection Force'?"

"Are there only the two of you in the club now?"

Xiyuanji Qilai shook her head.

"Not at all, besides us, there are Natsume-kun and Classmate Tengyuan."

Yue Dao Lin was stunned on the spot instantly.

She was originally planning to go downstairs to find Natsume Chikage, using the excuse of helping him look for a suitable club, and by the way, add him as a LINE friend.

But now she was told that Natsume Chikage not only had already found a club, but was also with these two girls whose looks and temperament were not inferior to her own?

The corners of Yue Dao Lin's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Feeling... she seemed to be a step late.

However, the problem shouldn't be big.

Chen Lie had already promised to help.

And Natsume Chikage had also clearly said he had no intention of dating recently.

As for these two girls in front of her... perhaps they really just invited him to join the club.

Yue Dao Lin's thoughts turned rapidly, and she quickly changed her strategy.

She decided to probe the two directly.

"By the way, do you know if Natsume-kun is free this afternoon?"

Xuecun Lingyin squinted slightly when she heard this, but said nothing.

Xiyuanji Qilai blinked her lively eyes, didn't think much, and answered honestly.

"It seems not this afternoon. He said he would have club activities with us before three, and seems to have other arrangements after three."

Hearing this answer, a complex emotion surged in Yue Dao Lin's heart—there was relief, and also helplessness.

The relief was, fortunately, she met them first and didn't rush down to invite him, avoiding the embarrassment of being rejected on the spot.

The helplessness was, the "afternoon invitation" in the plan seemed not to work.

As for tomorrow... perhaps she could ask Chen Lie to help probe.

Having her ask would be more natural than opening her mouth directly.

"I see... then you go ahead, I won't disturb you."

She smiled elegantly, said goodbye to the two, and turned to leave.

The morning classes ended quietly.

The bell for the end of school rang, and most students excitedly began to pack their school bags, planning their afternoon vacation—either going out together or rushing to club activities. ===== CHAPTER 201 =====
