Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 77 Ji Yexue was called home again
Akizuki Makoto coldly said, "Delete the photos on your phone."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Rin neither took any action nor spoke.

At this moment, her mind was in complete turmoil. Boundless fear and panic made her mind go blank, and she was unable to think of anything.

Right now, she feels like a wanted criminal who has been exposed by the police, and she is completely lost and helpless.

Akizuki glanced back out of the corner of his eye and saw that Shiraishi Rin behind him remained unmoved, just staring blankly at him before turning around.

He walked up to Shiraishi Rin, looking down at her condescendingly, and said, "I came to see you for no other reason than to warn you not to have any ulterior motives towards me, or I will expose you and tell your secret to others."

He wasn't afraid that Shiraishi Rin would hypnotize him at this moment, unless she really wanted to fight to the death.

Shiraishi Rin wouldn't be so foolish as to hypnotize him even after his secret has been discovered.

“…I see. I understand.”

After another long silence, Shiraishi Rin seemed to have all his strength drained and all his means gone. He responded weakly and took out his phone.

Upon seeing this, Akizuki Makoto instinctively turned his body away; he was already suffering from PTSD.

Shiraishi Rin didn't try any more tricks. She was more honest than Akizuki Makoto thought, and more afraid of her secret being exposed than he thought.

"...I've already deleted the photos."

She opened the photo album, deleted the private album, and looked utterly dejected.

"That's settled then. Don't bother me again."

After saying this coldly, Akizuki turned and left, returning to his seat in the classroom.

Shiraishi Rin returned to the classroom just before the lunch break was about to end.

She seemed lost and absent-minded all afternoon.

Akizuki Makoto had no idea what she was thinking, nor was he interested in knowing.

As long as Shiraishi Rin doesn't try anything with him again, she can think whatever she wants.

Originally, he also wanted to punish Shiraishi Rin, so he used that classic threatening sentence: "This student, you don't want your secret to be discovered, do you?"
But after thinking about it, he realized that Shiraishi Rin was actually quite pitiful, so he decided to let it go.

He really felt a little guilty about targeting people with disabilities.

And you can't spank Shiraishi Rin's butt like you spanked Himeyasu.

Making her kneel down with her butt sticking out to take the beating is just too hellish, isn't it?
"Sigh, I still suffered because of my morals..."

Akizuki Makoto thought to himself, if he lacked a moral bottom line, why would he have to worry about the troubles caused by abnormal women?

They can do whatever they want with them; they can kill or torture them as they please.

If you can't resist, then you might as well enjoy it. Anyway, both Ji Yexue and Bai Shilin want him to degenerate into a ball of fluff.

However, he simply didn't want to be subservient to others, to be treated like a rag doll and manipulated at will, nor did he want to treat others like rag dolls. Otherwise, he would still have many opportunities to turn the tables.

For example, just like today, we can seize on some minor incriminating evidence against them and coerce them into submission.

……

School in the afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Shiina Maki, Akizuki Makoto picked up his schoolbag and headed to the student council.

When he entered the student council room, he was surprised because he did not see the figure that was always there by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Did I spank you and it hurt so much that you left early?"

He thought to himself, but on the surface he put on a gentle smile and greeted the others.

Perhaps because the president was absent, they became much bolder and started discussing the rumors between Akizuki Makoto and Hime Yuki.

Some people even pressed their faces against Akizuki Makoto's, asking him for his opinion on Ji Yexue and making fun of him.

"Don't talk nonsense, the president and I are completely innocent."

To this, Akizuki Makoto could only respond with a smile, as they meant no harm.

That's how teenage boys and girls are; they're especially sensitive to these things, let alone when the subject of their gossip is a well-known figure in school.

But then again, it's better that Ji Yexue isn't here anymore. It saves him from doing something awkward again, flirting with him in front of everyone and making him feel so embarrassed.

……

at the same time.

The entrance to Mingsheng High School.

Ji Yexue, who had left work early, got into the black car that had come to pick her up and take her home, feeling slightly uneasy.

After all, the reason she left early was because she received a call from her mother asking her to come home, as her grandfather had something to ask her.

The thought of going back to face her grandfather and parents filled her with an indescribable restlessness.

...Even now, my buttocks are still throbbing.

Even though she was sitting in a soft leather seat, she still felt a stinging sensation from time to time.

The stinging pain constantly reminded her of the humiliation that Akizuki Makoto had inflicted on her, making her grit her teeth and curse Akizuki Makoto in her heart.

"Scum! Beast! Shameless! Despicable!"

Until she returned to her mansion in Chiyoda Port Ward, Himeyasu cursed Akizuki Makoto in her heart, using almost every curse word she had ever used in her life.

"Miss, please."

Once the car entered the mansion, the driver brought it to a smooth stop, walked around to the back seat where Ji Yexue was, opened the door for her, and braced his hand against the roof.

As soon as Ji Yexue stepped out of the car, someone immediately held an umbrella to shield her from the rain and escorted her into the mansion. The servants who were there to meet her were already waiting in the entrance hall. They put down Ji Yexue's daily change of indoor shoes and led her into a Japanese-style room to change.

Before meeting her grandfather and parents, she had to change her clothes and bathe her feet.

This action indicates that the reason for seeking her out was not a bad thing.

Like the time she lost to Akizuki Makoto, she was called home and went directly to the main room to receive her grandfather's questioning and punishment.

After doing all this, she walked unsteadily through the long corridors, lifted the screens, and arrived at the main room at the deepest part of the mansion.

Her grandfather and parents had been waiting there for a long time. Ji Yelong was still sitting at the head of the table, with her parents sitting on her left and right sides below.

Seeing Ji Yexue walk in with her head down, Ji Yelongjun slowly said, "Come, sit down."

"Yes."

Ji Yexue responded softly and sat down in the seat below her mother.

Her mother is the current head of the Ji Ye family; her father married into the family.

Although he came from a large family, he was not able to wield significant power within the family.

In island nations, it is very common for men to marry into their wives' families, and men do not feel ashamed of doing so.

"Xiaoxue, have some tea."

After Ji Yexue sat down, Mrs. Ji Yexue smiled and poured hot tea into the teacup in front of her.

"Thank you, mother."

Ji Yexue bowed her head in thanks, her slender, fair fingers lifting the teacup, taking a sip of hot tea with an elegant and graceful demeanor.

Seeing this, Ji Yelongjun finally spoke again, asking, "Xiaoxue, do you have someone you like at school?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening, and her expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Before she could explain, Ji Yelongjun continued, "I heard that person was the one who beat you in the monthly exam, I think their name is Qiuyue..."

"Sincerity."

Mrs. Himeya added with a smile.

"Oh, right..."

Ji Yelong nodded and sighed, "Lately, my memory has been declining very quickly. I just heard the name not long ago, and now I've already forgotten it."

"Grandpa, I don't like him, it's just..."

At this moment, Ji Yexue wanted to explain, but she stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, unsure of how to respond.

You can't exactly say that she wanted to seduce Akizuki Makoto so that he would fall hopelessly in love with her, and then dump him, right?
Such a naive idea, if voiced aloud, would likely be interpreted by Himeya Ryushun as harboring resentment and seeking revenge simply because he lost to her once.

If the next head of the prestigious Ji Ye family only has this much magnanimity, Ji Ye Longxun would probably teach her a lesson.

"It's alright, Xiaoxue."

Mrs. Ji Ye gently patted Ji Yexue's hand and chuckled, "Grandpa isn't here to interrogate you, he just wants to understand the situation, after all, you're getting on in years."

"……Yes."

After a moment of silence, Ji Yexue could only helplessly admit it.

Since Grandpa took the initiative to ask her, he must have already found out everything.

Whether it was her initiative in approaching Akizuki Makoto, or Akizuki Makoto's personal information, she probably already knows everything.

If she denies it outright, things will likely become even more complicated.

The school was crowded and gossipy, and her family had also planted spies to monitor her every move.

Everything she did at school was told to her family.

This isn't because Ji Yexue is overly self-conscious; her family members are indeed capable of doing such things.

In fact, that was exactly the case. Ji Yelongjun already knew about Ji Yexue's actions yesterday.

As for why he only met with Ji Yexue today, there is another reason.

Yesterday, after learning that the person Ji Yexue had approached was the one who had beaten her in the monthly exam, he became very interested.

He had already seen Akizuki Makoto's personal information when he punished Himeyasu last time.

At that time, we only looked at his personal information and his family background.

But because it was someone Ji Yexue liked, he had someone thoroughly investigate Qiu Yuecheng, digging up all his information.

Then he discovered something interesting.

Two days ago, Akizuki Makoto's account received an extra 10 million yen from Shinchosha.

Out of curiosity, he had someone contact Shinchosha to inquire about the background, and then learned that Akizuki Makoto had submitted a novel called "Snow Country" to them last week.

That's why he didn't meet with Ji Yexue yesterday, but instead finished reading "Snow Country" first.

After watching it, Ji Yelongjun understood to some extent why Ji Yexue lost to Qiuyue Cheng.

At the same time, he also became extremely interested in this country boy from the Seto Inland Sea.

Based on the information obtained, Akizuki Makoto is perfect and impeccable.

Whether it's appearance, talent, or even personality, he's at the top of everything, belonging to the very elite.

As for origin...

It's really nothing, and it even became a plus.
