Zongman: Yinglili, this is just a deal

In the Land of Sakura, somewhere in a university, the annual welcome ceremony has just been held.

On the podium, the principal and teachers sat upright, and on the big screen behind them flashed slogans welcoming new students.

Below the stage, freshmen lined up neatly, their energetic faces full of anticipation for their new campus life.

"Everyone, a wonderful college life is waiting for you, so enjoy your youth to the fullest!"

The host’s closing remarks also marked the successful conclusion of the welcome meeting.

On a bench in the playground, a girl with long white hair tied in a side ponytail and wearing light pink casual clothes was standing.

The girl was holding a handheld camera in her hand and a chocolate bar in her mouth, with a hint of unhappiness on her delicate little face.

The girl's delicate appearance attracted some boys who were in love to stop and watch. Of course, there were also bold boys who walked up to her and chatted with her.

"Hello classmate, may I ask...?"

"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."

The girl's answer was brief and she didn't even raise her head. She kept fiddling with the camera in her hand.

This brief answer made the boy who was chatting him up feel awkward. In order to save his face, the boy gritted his teeth and said.

"Sorry...that's not what I meant."

"Well, do you have anything else?"

"At least tell me your name..."

Hearing this, the girl put down the camera in her hand and looked at the boy who came to chat with her for the first time.

After a few seconds, a faint smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Tomouri Nao... Of course, you can also call me Shiro Nao..."

One person, two surnames, what this means in the Land of Sakura is self-evident, and there is no need to embarrass yourself.

......

After the boy left, a pink-haired girl with a similar hairstyle came to Nao Tomori's side again.

The two seemed to know each other, but there was not much communication, they just sat together quietly.

"You didn't come to see me just to sit here with me, did you?"

"Who... who came to see you? We just bumped into each other by chance." Nakano Nino crossed her arms and said, "I just didn't expect that you and I are from the same university..."

Nao Tomori took out her chocolate bar and handed it to Nino Nakano, but Nino Nakano shook her head and refused.

Tomori Nao shrugged, took the chocolate bar back, and said, "I remember that you wrote in your original schedule that you didn't want to continue your studies, didn't you?"

"Did you peek at my schedule?"

"Huh? Just put it on the table. You can't help but see it..."

"you....."

Nakano Nino shook her head and ignored it. It was just a schedule, a piece of waste paper.

"Can I ask why?"

Nakano Nino nodded: "There is no reason... It's just that Bai mentioned that he wanted to experience college life... I thought if he didn't come back, I would experience it for him."

"What about you?"

"Me? Someone promised to go to college with me, but he hasn't come back yet..."

The two of them didn't speak anymore, and a very depressing atmosphere filled the air between them.

"Bai.....Is he still in contact with you?"

"One year ago..."

"What do you mean?"

"The last time he sent me a message was a year ago, not to mention calling me." There was a hint of resentment in Nao Tomori's eyes, but more of it was worry.

"A year..." Nakano Nino was about the same. She had sent countless messages in the past year, but all of them fell on deaf ears.

She was helpless, she didn't even know where Bai Nianyu was now...

Nino Nakano knew that Nao Tomori was also a person with special abilities in the past, and that Nao Tomori and Bai Nianyu's relationship networks were highly overlapping, so she might know something.

"Do you have any news about Bai?"

Hearing this, Tomori Nao nodded, then suddenly took out her cell phone and said, "Have you read the news from Russia a few months ago?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

A few months ago, Nakano Nino was still preparing for the college entrance examination. In order to enter the university with Bai Nianyu's share, Nakano Nino put in all her effort!

"In Russia, a high-rise building was attacked by artillery fire, but the authorities did not mention the attackers..."

Nakano Nino raised her eyebrows: "Terrorists? These things shouldn't be uncommon in foreign countries, right?"

"Yes, but Brother Falcon Wing felt something was wrong and sent someone to investigate."

Nao Tomori said as she crushed the chocolate bar in her mouth.

"What I'm going to say next is what a little girl who was there said, but I don't remember the details, so I'll just give you a brief summary..."

Nao Tomori cleared her throat and spoke under the puzzled gaze of Nino Nakano.

"I didn't know what was happening, I just remember being squeezed in the middle of a crowd of people and because of my height, I couldn't see anything."

"Then I heard a loud boom, like a truck hitting a wall..."

"When I came to my senses, everyone around me had retreated to the side in fear, and at that moment, a burnt silver piece fell at my feet."

"It looked like an earring, so I picked it up subconsciously. Not long after, a big brother with long hair appeared in front of me out of nowhere, looking around as if he was looking for something..."

"I still don't know what happened, but I know that he was probably looking for the silver piece I just picked up. I returned the silver piece to the older brother."

"The big brother was really handsome. He smiled very gently and said thank you to me. Then he put the silver piece back into his bag."

"It was at this time that I noticed that my elder brother's hair was tied up with a golden hairpin, but for some reason, my elder brother took off the hairpin and put it back in his bag..."

Because Nao Tomori couldn't remember clearly, she almost always expressed it in her own words, but the meaning was pretty much the same anyway.

"Although I didn't describe too many features, you can tell who I'm talking about..."

Nakano Nino said nothing, but just nodded silently.

Long hair and a golden hairpin. Even with only these two features, Nino Nakano was enough to know who Nao Tomori was talking about.

Nakano Nino suddenly said, "Yoshiha has been clamoring to go to China recently. This news should calm her down a bit..."

The time is almost up. There is only one or two months left of the two-year deadline.

In fact, Nao Tomori hid a lot of things and didn't tell Nino Nakano, because it was useless to tell her those things and it would only add to her troubles.

For example, that high-rise building was definitely not attacked by terrorists. It seems that Bai Nianyu might have demolished it.

Nao Tomori patted her skirt and slowly stood up.

"At least I can confirm that Nianyu is not in danger of life now..."

And Bai Nianyu who is far away in China

"(?8?9_?8?9)....? Who set the mountain on fire?"
