"Hmm..."
The next morning, Index woke up from her sleep and immediately saw Sylvia lying beside her.
"Hū..."
Sylvia was lying exactly as Index had seen her the night before, breathing deeply and rhythmically as she drifted into a deep slumber.
Watching Sylvia like this, Index slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and cheered up her mind/energetic before noticing something amiss.
"Sylvie... your face is so red..."
Indeed.
Sylvia's charming face, lying beside Index in deep sleep, was flushed with a suspicious blush. Tiny beads of sweat covered her fair and rosy skin, causing her thin shirt to cling to her body, making her look exceptionally alluring.
"Could it be that Index is sick?"
Index couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.
At that moment, Fang Li's voice finally reached her ears.
"Are you awake? Then let's get ready for breakfast."
As he spoke, Fang Li, who seemed to have already finished washing up, emerged from the kitchen, carrying plates of breakfast that he began to set on the table.
"Breakfast!"
Only the gluttonous nun, with her insatiable appetite, was immediately drawn to the fragrant meal.
"Hmm?"
However, as Index unconsciously inhaled the aroma, she suddenly paused.
Tilting her head, she turned to Fang Li and asked, "Hey, Fang Li, don't you think there's a really strange smell?"
Hearing these words, Fang Li's figure stiffened slightly before quickly recovering without a trace.
"Is there?" Fang Li asked calmly. "I don't smell anything."
"It's a really, really strange smell," Index said, twitching her nose like a cute little puppy. "I don't know how to describe it, but it's just really weird. It feels... indecent."
"Is... is that so?" Fang Li's expression remained calm, but his eyes betrayed a hint of unease. He quickly changed the subject. "Never mind that. Let's eat first."
"Okay!" Index, of course, wouldn't refuse the option of food, immediately ignoring the so-called strange smell in the air.
But shortly afterwards, she said, "I'll go wake up Sylvie."
Hearing this, Fang Li instinctively replied, "No need. Let her keep sleeping. We kept her up so late last night. Don't disturb her."
"You... did it with her for so long?" Index was stunned, asking in confusion, "Did what? Did you and Sylvie do something?"
"Uh..." Fang Li finally realized what she meant. His expression stiffened, and he said somewhat unnaturally, "No... nothing. Don't worry about it."
Unfortunately, Fang Li's attempt to dismiss the matter only deepened Index's suspicion.
"...That's really suspicious..."
Index stared intently at Fang Li, her cheeks puffed out.
"Fang Li, who's usually calm no matter what happens, is acting so obviously suspicious today. He must be hiding something important from me!"
Thinking this, Index naturally refused to let it go.
"What exactly did you do with Sylvie?" she demanded, her voice filled with dissatisfaction. "Can't you just tell me?"
"Sorry, I really can't..." Fang Li muttered inwardly. "It's nothing important anyway, so just don't ask."
"Nothing important?" Index immediately said without hesitation, "Then let me join you!"
Fang Li nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
'Join you?'
'Is that appropriate?'
"...Never mind," Fang Li said, somewhat exasperated. "You're too young."
"In other words, you really did something, didn't you?" Index shrieked, leaping out of bed and lunging at Fang Li. "I want to do it too! I want to do it too!"
"Idiot! Don't just jump on me like that! I'm still holding the food!"
"What did you do? Don't hide it from me!"
"I told you it's nothing important!"
"Then let me join you!"
"Didn't I just say you're too young?!"
"I don't care! I'm going to do it anyway! Hau!"
"...! Are you a dog?! You bite people the moment you get angry!"
Fang Li, still holding two plates of breakfast, could only struggle as Index wrapped herself around him, the two of them wrestling into a tangled mess.
Unaware of the commotion they were causing, their shouting had already woken up those who had been resting.
"You two..."
Sylvia rolled her eyes as she watched Fang Li and Index rolling around on the floor.
"Could it be that every morning has been this noisy?"
With this much racket, how could the people in the neighboring dorm rooms possibly have missed it?
"I really don't know how Index has managed to stay here without being discovered..."
That's because a certain upside-down man has been pulling strings behind the scenes, young lady.
...
After a noisy morning, everyone finished washing up and began eating breakfast.
"Hau! Hau!"
As soon as mealtime arrived, Index forgot everything else, or perhaps she was still channeling her grief into appetite. She chewed furiously with her mouth stuffed full, muttering indignantly.
"They only kept it a secret from me... It's so unfair... Why couldn't I have done it too..."
It seemed the gluttonous girl was still dwelling on the matter of doing it together.
Sylvia, having learned the whole story, blushed slightly and glared at Fang Li.
Fang Li pretended not to notice, shrugged, and asked Sylvia, "So, are you planning to go to school today?"
After all, as a student, Sylvia was also supposed to be attending classes.
"Well, I didn't even attend the opening ceremony, let alone last year's entrance exams. And like you, I've never participated in the Power Curriculum Program. If even you failed a grade, I should have been expelled long ago, right?" Sylvia said casually. "But the school still seems to have my records. I just don't know if I've been held back like you."
"Probably not," Fang Li hesitated for a moment before making his judgment. "After all, you're Academy City's poster girl now, a world-famous idol. If you were held back, it would inevitably cause some embarrassment. If you requested it, the school would likely arrange a special entrance exam for you."
"An entrance exam?" Sylvia fell into thought.
After a long silence, Sylvia seemed to have come to a decision. She looked at Fang Li.
The next moment, under Fang Li's puzzled gaze, Sylvia smiled.
"I've got a great idea."
...
School District 7, A Certain High School.
"...No way...?"
"...This can't be true..."
In one of the first-year classrooms, classmates stared blankly at the front of the room.
Standing before the blackboard was a Diva in uniform, her long, straight, purple hair cascading down her back.
"I'm Sylvia Lyyneheym, a transfer student who decided to enroll here just today," she announced with a smile. "Please take care of me."
