Raiden Mei was shocked by her own thoughts. But very quickly, she smiled and shook her head, mocking herself whether she had become a little obsessed.
Clearly, it was just a video, yet she would even associate it with people in the real world.
However, every time she had such a thought, she would subconsciously ask herself in her heart, 'This scene in the video, is it really just fictional?'
The Kiana, Bronya, and also Fu Hua, Teacher Himeko in the video, or even herself... Whether in terms of personality or some other aspects, they were almost exactly the same as the ones in the real world.
If one had to find some differences, then it would be the difference in Honkai.
Moreover, Raiden Mei also didn't know why, when she saw the backs of Fu Hua and Van walking together, a sudden inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She couldn't say what that feeling was, just that her chest felt a little stuffy, as if something was blocking there.
Her relationship with Van could be said to be almost like a fleeting encounter.
But why, seeing him together with Fu Hua, would there be a sense of discomfort in her heart?
Raiden Mei stood in place, watching the backs of the two gradually walking away, and some vague images suddenly flashed in her mind.
Those images were like shattered glass, hard to piece together. But faintly, she seemed to see her and Van's reflection standing together through the broken glass.
'What exactly is wrong with me…'
Raiden Mei shook her head, trying to shake those strange thoughts out of her mind. She took a deep breath and told herself not to overthink.
At this moment, Kiana and Bronya came running back holding cups of milk tea.
Kiana smilingly handed the milk tea to Raiden Mei and said, "Mei! For you! This is your favorite milk tea! Drinking a cup of milk tea in the morning will make your mood better~"
Looking at Kiana's energetic smile, Raiden Mei was stunned for a moment, then a warmth rose in her heart.
After taking the milk tea from Kiana's hand, Raiden Mei asked, "You guys... specially went to buy this for me?"
"Of course! As soon as I stepped out of the dorm, I felt like your spirit wasn't in a good state, so I thought of getting you something tasty to help improve your mood."
Saying this, Kiana proudly raised her chin, "When I was in a bad mood before, I liked to eat something, drink some milk tea, it really works!"
"And also, doesn't the internet say that drinking something sweet helps secrete... uh, what 'Albedo'?"
"You meant Dopamine, right?" Bronya facepalmed with one hand, too tired to even complain.
Watching the two argue again, Raiden Mei smiled, inserted the straw into the cup, and took a gentle sip.
The warm sweetness spread from the tip of her tongue into her heart, relaxing her whole body quite a bit.

Van was puzzled as he looked at Fu Hua walking beside him.
Since morning, the other had been wearing this faint smile on her face, which made him very curious. After all, in Van's impression, in all the years they had known each other, Fu Hua had always looked calm and unmoved by anything.
Very rarely like today, where she wore a constant smile on her face.
Thinking of this, Van couldn't help but wonder in his heart, 'Did she pick up money this morning? Or maybe won the lottery?'
'It couldn't possibly be because she was happy after leaving the apartment after that match with Mobius last night, right?'
———
[Time Flashed Back to Last Night.]
Mobius and Fu Hua's sudden confrontation had left Van stunned on the spot.
To prevent the situation from worsening, and also to prevent this book from being 404'd, Van had no choice but to first ask Mobius, who was eyeing his DNA, to leave.
There, upon hearing Van ask her to leave first, Mobius let go of Van's shoulder with a smiling face. But feeling Mobius's gaze from the side, Van felt like he was in an ice cellar.
In the end, Mobius still chose to leave.
However, before leaving, her parting words still made Van break out in cold sweat, "Little white mouse~ I'll let you go today, we have a long future ahead~"
———
[Current Time.]
Because he was really curious about Fu Hua's current state, Van opened his mouth and asked, "Hua, did something good happen? You've been smiling since this morning, it's rare to see."
Van's sudden question made Fu Hua freeze, then her cheeks turned slightly red.
As if realizing something, Fu Hua quickly turned her head, pretending to look at the street.
"N-nothing."
However, what Fu Hua didn't know was, even though she tried hard to hide it, the slightly reddened ears silently revealed her current mood.
———
Although compared to before, it had already improved a lot, Raiden Mei still tended to zone out during class.
Because whenever she saw Fu Hua's back, the scene she had seen that morning would unconsciously surface in her mind.
'Fu Hua and Van… What exactly is their relationship?'
" Mei…"
'Why did they come to school together?'
"Mei?"
'Could it be… the two of them are…'
"Raiden Mei!"
The homeroom teacher Himeko's voice suddenly rang out, breaking her train of thought. Raiden Mei snapped back to her senses, stood up in a panic, and looked at Himeko on the podium, at a loss.
"Raiden Mei, you answer this question."
Facing Himeko's question, Raiden Mei couldn't say a word. Because she had no idea what Himeko's question was.
After a short silence, Himeko didn't say anything more and simply motioned for Raiden Mei to sit down.
After sitting down, feeling the curious gazes from the surrounding classmates, a faint blush of embarrassment rose on Raiden Mei's face.
Himeko came over slowly and asked with concern, "Mei, you don't seem quite right today. Are you feeling unwell?"
Raiden Mei lowered her head and replied softly, "Sorry, Teacher. I'm fine… maybe I just didn't sleep well last night."
Himeko nodded and didn't pursue the matter further. "Listen carefully in class. Don't get distracted again. If there's any problem, be sure to tell the teacher in time."
Raiden Mei nodded and threw all the distracting thoughts out of her mind.
The forty-five-minute class passed quickly. After class, Raiden Mei walked out of the classroom alone and stood in the corridor for some air.
The nerves that had been tense relaxed gradually with the sound of the class bell.
But what followed was an overwhelming exhaustion.
