Chapter 95 Sakura Airi's True Identity

"Shizuku?"

The unfamiliar name that came out of Sakura Airi's mouth caught Fang Li off guard.

Almost instinctively, Fang Li asked.

"Who is that?"

This question elicited a complex expression from Sakura Airi, as if she were smiling wryly.

"I just had a feeling that you probably wouldn't know."

After all, Fang Li didn't seem like someone who would be a fan.

"A fan?" Fang Li seemed to understand a bit and asked, "So you mean this 'Shizuku' is an idol?"

"Yes... that's right," Sakura Airi replied hesitantly, "More accurately, she's a gravure idol."

In other words, Shizuku had done photo shoots for magazines but hadn't appeared on TV.

Curious, Fang Li did a quick search on his phone and discovered that this gravure idol had quite a considerable following.

She debuted two years ago.

Back then, she seemed to be just a middle school student.

Although she was just a middle school student, Shizuku possessed remarkable looks and a stunning figure that surpassed her peers. Due to her passion for photography, she also maintained an active blog where she regularly posted the photos she took, receiving unanimous praise from her fans.

Fang Li also took a look at the photos she uploaded on her blog.

Each photo was both cute and beautiful, captivating and unforgettable.

Looking at these photos, Fang Li became certain.

"The girl in these photos is the same as the girl in the photos stored in the digital camera."

Even though the digital camera had some malfunctions at the time, causing the photos to be blurry, the stark contrast made Fang Li almost immediately confirm this.

In other words, all the photos in the digital camera that Fang Li had found were of Shizuku.

As for Shizuku's true identity...

"It's you, isn't it? Sakura?"

Fang Li sought confirmation from Sakura Airi.

Sakura Airi nodded slightly, her expression becoming complex.

To further convince him, she took off the glasses she was wearing on her face.

Beneath the glasses, a face that surprised Fang Li, charming to the point of astonishment, was revealed.

That charming face was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the blog and the digital camera, except it lacked some of the liveliness and cheerfulness captured in those photos.

Fang Li never expected that the shy and quiet Sakura Airi would actually be a gravure idol who had been active for two years.

The reason she went unnoticed was simply because Sakura Airi disliked drawing attention to herself and was quite shy. She used to wear decorative glasses and avoided making eye contact with others, always keeping her head down. She didn't put much effort into her appearance, deliberately making herself look plain.

If Sakura Airi didn't wear glasses and made a slight effort to enhance her appearance, she could easily become a super beautiful girl on par with Kushida Kikyou and Ichinose Honami.

Coupled with her exceptional figure that stood out in the entire Advanced Nurturing High School, there were probably only a few girls who could match Sakura Airi in terms of feminine charm.

"I really misjudged..."

Fang Li chuckled.

"But now I understand why that disgusting store clerk was so obsessed with you."

In short, that store clerk was an obsessive fan.

The term "obsessive fan" refers to individuals among an artist's fanbase who exhibit extreme behaviors and have a crazy demeanor.

They engage in activities such as stalking, peeping, and secretly taking photos of the artist's daily life, undisclosed schedules, and work. They harass their favorite celebrities, interfere with their private lives and even pose a great nuisance or harm to the idols themselves and their families.

After entering Advanced Nurturing High School, Sakura Airi probably went to the electronics store to buy a digital camera.

Unfortunately, that store clerk turned out to be Sakura Airi's obsessive fan and discovered her true identity.

Realizing that the idol he had always admired was right in front of him, the store clerk's behavior became increasingly extreme, alternating between excitement and ecstasy.

Specifically, he left creepy comments on Shizuku's blog resembling those of a stalker and secretly tried approaching Sakura Airi, attempting to establish more interactions with her.

Then came the last holiday.

After that holiday, the store clerk could no longer contain his impulse and desire, preparing to initiate contact with Sakura Airi.

Knowing this, Sakura Airi has spend these days in fear and dread, anticipating the encounter with the store clerk.

That's why she sought help from Fang Li.

"Before today, he have been sending me many personal letters, all of which contain terrifying content."

Sakura Airi held her glasses in her hand, revealing her beautiful face to Fang Li, although her mood remained low.

"I only started suspecting after that holiday. Those letters and the comments on the blog were all from that store clerk."

Fearing what the store clerk might do, Sakura Airi changed her behavior yesterday. Instead of walking away alone, she blended into the crowd, reducing the chances of being alone and avoiding potential attacks.

However, Sakura Airi is also extremely shy and cannot find a sense of safety even in a crowd. She feels that everyone around her could potentially harm her and is overcome with fear.

Therefore, Sakura Airi turned to Fang Li, the only person she didn't find intimidating, for help.

Today, if it weren't for Fang Li, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"I was really scared at that time. Luckily, you, Nanaya-san, arrived in the end."

As Sakura Airi spoke these words, her tone was extremely gloomy.

"Even though you helped me so much, I couldn't stand up for you..."

At this point, it is already evident without needing to be said.

Sakura Airi, besides being Shizuku, the gravure idol, was also a witness to the violent incident involving Fang Li.

Due to this, the digital camera with Shizuku's photos dropped in the Special Teaching Building.

That camera belonged to Sakura Airi.

Sakura Airi was concerned about the condition of the digital camera that Fang Li found because it was her personal belonging.

For Sakura Airi, who loved photography, the importance of the digital camera can be imagined, not to mention the abundance of photos of Shizuku that could reveal her true identity.

"I'm truly sorry, Nanaya-san."

Sakura Airi bowed deeply to Fang Li, with closed eyes, apologizing with all her might.

"If only I could be a little braver, I could have testified for you."

The reason Sakura Airi didn't step forward, admiting that she was a witness, and testify for Fang Li is simple. She didn't want too much attention and was excessively shy and timid.

Now, Sakura Airi felt guilty for this.

However...

"Lift your head, Sakura."

Fang Li's calm tone, without even the slightest change, made Sakura Airi unconsciously lift her head.

What caught her eye was Fang Li's face with a faint smile.
