Chapter 62

Sakai Ziyuan pondered for a moment, handed the phone back to Natsume Chikage, and changed her approach:

"I can grant the leave, but I need you to take a few photos or have a video call with me from the competition site as proof after you arrive."

"Only if you agree to this condition will I approve your leave."

Natsume Chikage heard the distrust in her words, but he didn't care.

After all, he was indeed going to participate in the tournament.

"Sure, no problem." Natsume Chikage agreed frankly, his eyes calm and waveless.

Sakai Ziyuan frowned and reminded him seriously.

"I'll say it in advance, I really hate students who lie."

"If you cannot provide effective proof, or if the proof is forged, then I will not approve any of your future leave applications."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Natsume Chikage replied faintly:

"I understand perfectly."

Sakai Ziyuan was silent for a long time, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment.

These past two days, she had indeed noticed Natsume Chikage often playing with his phone during breaks, looking like he was playing games.

Combined with his past records...

But she didn't point it out in the end, just closed her eyes and said in a flat tone:

"Is that so? Then the teacher wishes you success in tomorrow's tournament."

After speaking.

She took out her phone and placed her LINE QR code in front of Natsume Chikage.

Natsume Chikage understood and added Sakai Ziyuan on LINE.

Afterward, Sakai Ziyuan didn't say anything more, opened her bento box, and quietly enjoyed her lunch.

Seeing that the leave matter had been settled, Natsume Chikage didn't disturb her anymore and silently finished the rest of his lunch.

The sun shone on the two through the gaps in the clouds, and only the rustling of the wind through the leaves and the laughter of students in the distance broke the tranquility.

Before long.

This tranquility was quietly broken.

After Natsume Chikage finished his lunch, he noticed a girl already standing under the cherry blossom tree, looking around nervously.

He wasn't sure if this was the one who gave him the love letter.

So he took the love letter out of his pocket and opened it to confirm the signature.

"Yue Dao Lin..."

After whispering this name, Natsume Chikage got up from the bench and walked toward that century-old cherry blossom tree.

Sakai Ziyuan looked at Natsume Chikage's departing back, her brows furrowed slightly.

She didn't expect Natsume Chikage to leave so quickly.

But thinking that his purpose for coming was to ask for leave, since the purpose was achieved, it was reasonable for him to leave after eating lunch.

However... she still hoped he was telling the truth.

After all, Natsume Chikage was now in a fallen family, and his parents were both deceased.

If he was still lying about asking for leave to play games, this was really...

If that were the case, she would definitely not agree to Natsume Chikage's leave so easily next time! ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
