Looking at Kisaragi Amuro's gloomy smile, Taiyo Oga knew that he must be thinking all sorts of dark things. Taiyo Oga was used to this kind of situation. This kind of mental victory could at least comfort himself when he couldn't change reality.

Taiyo sighed inwardly, thankfully the girl he liked wasn't in this class, and besides, he had disguised himself, spending his lunch and afternoons in the library, a place almost no one went. He didn't have to worry about the girl he liked being snatched away by Li Wei.

Taiyo Oga knew very well that Ayaka Kisaragi had feelings for Aoi Hinata, and he didn't want to experience the feeling of his favorite girl liking another boy.

Taiyo Daiga likes Sumire Sanshokuin from the next class. Sumire Sanshokuin always dresses herself up as an unremarkable "plain and ugly girl," but he knows that Sumire Sanshokuin is actually very beautiful.

This was a secret that belonged only to him. In the entire school, only he knew that Sumireko Sanshokuin was a super beautiful girl. This sense of security that the girl he liked wouldn't be spied on by others made him feel relieved.

Li Wei, who possesses the ability to read minds, naturally knows what Oga Taiyo is thinking right now. To this, Li Wei just smiles. Oga Taiyo thinks he is safe now, but there will always be a time when he gets so angry that he has a stroke.

..............................

Sakura Akino returned to her class. She didn't plan to take any action right away. After all, Li Wei had just started learning today. It was simply unreasonable for a student who had just started learning to join the student council.

Therefore, she had to wait two days until the storm had passed before finding an opportunity to bring Li Wei into the student council. Moreover, now was the perfect time to observe Li Wei. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." The more she understood Li Wei, the greater the chance of her plan succeeding.

Sakura Akino took out a photo of Li Wei, resting her chin on her hand, staring intently at it. A girl next to her suddenly leaned over, saw the photo, and asked, "President, who's this? Your boyfriend?"

When Akino Sakura came to her senses, she realized that she had been daydreaming and that someone else had seen Li Wei's photo, which made her feel a little flustered.

Sakura Akino quickly said, "He's not my boyfriend. He's just a student from school recently."

The girl said, "At a time like this? The semester is almost halfway over, and someone's still coming here? That's really strange. Is he a third-year student?"

Sakura Akino said, "This is something that needs to be kept secret."

The girl asked doubtfully, "Does this kind of thing need to be kept secret?"

Sakura Akino said, "Of course! If you keep it a secret, I know a really good dessert shop. How about I treat you to dessert there?"

Sakura Akino didn't want any complications at this time, so she chose to spend money to avoid further trouble and minimize any disruptions to her plans.

Hearing Akino Sakura's words, the girl smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, okay, I believe that person is not your boyfriend. I promise to keep it a secret for you."

The girl chose to stop while she was ahead; being able to get a dessert feast was already pretty good.

Sakura Akino breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the secret hadn't been exposed, that was fine. Although such things would eventually be known, as long as it could be kept secret for a few more days, she would have an intelligence advantage.

Chapter 4. Taiyo Oga's Achilles' heel

Neon Hong's schoolwork isn't too demanding; school ends at 3:30 PM.

After school, students began to leave the classroom one after another. Some went to participate in club activities, while others went straight home. Although high schools in Japan have a wealth of club activities, not everyone likes to participate in clubs. There are quite a few members who go home without joining any clubs.

Li Wei calmly packed his schoolbag. High school students in Japan are used to only bringing textbooks for the classes they need to attend that day. This is also related to the characteristics of Japanese schools, such as school bullying.

In Japan, many students experience psychological distress due to various pressures. If they leave their textbooks at school, they are easily vandalized, scribbled on, or even torn up. This is why Japanese students have developed the habit of only bringing textbooks for the day's lessons.

Mayama Ayaka asked, "Li Weijun, are you going to the library next?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "I like reading, so I'm going to the library to see if there are any interesting books."

Mayama Ayaka said, "Then I'll take the exam paper to the library to do it."

As the leader of the "normie" group, Mayama Ayaka doesn't actually have a club. Every afternoon after school, she and the other members of the "normie" group would enjoy their "normie" life, either going to dessert shops or watching movies. Before meeting Li Wei, her life seemed colorful, but in reality, she was just wasting her time.

But now, Mayama Ayaka is determined to become excellent, because Li Wei is not an ordinary person. Simply being pretty is not enough to stand by Li Wei's side. She must become excellent. Keeping up with Li Wei's pace is definitely out of the question, but she must at least be better than ordinary people.

Mayama Ayaka knew that a beautiful appearance would eventually fade, and only a radiant soul could keep a woman's charm. She knew that if she wanted to sit down next to Li Wei, she had to put in the effort.

Hinata Aoi said, "I have something to do today, so I have to take the test paper back and do it."

Hinata Aoi's schoolbag and today's cold bento box were still inside her desk. If she went to the library with Li Wei and someone found the bento box, it would be embarrassing. So, she had to leave and deal with the bento box. One lie often requires more lies to cover it up, and Hinata Aoi was now suffering the consequences of lying. She really wanted to go to the library with Li Wei, but now, she had to leave first.

Hatate Hinata said, "I also need to leave for a while. I plan to gradually withdraw from the news department. Right now, I need to complete the handover with the other members."

Hatate Hinata is already preparing to leave the newspaper club. The activities of the newspaper club are too time-consuming for her now, so she is preparing to gradually get rid of the newspaper club label. Although this will affect her ability to collect various information at school, can those boring things compare to Li Wei?

Even if the position of Minister of the News Department were offered to her now, she would refuse it outright, because compared to Li Wei, the position of Minister of the News Department is meaningless.

Sanada Sugiha laughed and said, "I don't participate in any clubs, so I have plenty of free time. I'm going to the library with Li Weijun."

The remaining girls chatted amongst themselves and quickly made up their minds. As a lively little group in the class, they didn't belong to any clubs, so they had time to follow Li Wei wherever he went.

Hinata Aoi and Hatate Hinata left, and Li Wei, having finished packing his things, said, "Then let's go to the library."

Li Wei didn't deliberately suppress his voice, so Oga Taiyo, who was still nearby, clearly heard Li Wei's words. After hearing these words, Oga Taiyo's face turned extremely ugly, as if he had eaten shit.

Li Wei smiled and said, "I really like the atmosphere of libraries or reading rooms. In fact, I have a good impression of literary girls who like to read. After all, there aren't many girls who can settle down and read books these days."

Mayama Ayaka said, "So, Li Weijun, you like this type."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Because girls like this often have interesting souls, and interesting souls are much more precious than pretty appearances. Even if a girl's appearance is ordinary, she has a sparkling inner quality, and such a girl is very charming."

Not far away, Taiyo Oga's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with gloom, because Sumireko Sanshokuin met all the conditions Li Wei had mentioned. Sumireko Sanshokuin loved reading and was very knowledgeable. Although she appeared to be a plain, bespectacled, and ugly woman on the surface, that was just a disguise. Once she took off her disguise, she was the most radiant person in the world.

When Hinata Aoi fawned over Li Wei, Oga Taiyo felt a little smug. Although he and Kisaragi Amuro had known each other since elementary school, to be honest, he had always been jealous of Kisaragi Amuro. So when he saw Hinata Aoi fawning over Li Wei and Kisaragi Amuro showing that jealous expression, he felt a sour feeling inside.

But now, it's his turn to worry. Sumireko Sanshokuin is his goddess, and the thought that his goddess will become Li Wei's prey makes him feel like he's being harassed by a huge grassland.

The look in Taiyo Oga's eyes as he looked at Li Wei inevitably carried hatred and disgust. If it were anything else, he wouldn't care, but since the matter would involve Sumireko Sanshokuin, he couldn't keep his composure.

Mayama Ayaka saw the ferocious expression on Oga Taiyou's face, especially the undisguised hatred in his eyes as he looked at Li Wei, and said, "Oga Taiyou, what are you looking at? Did Li Wei offend you in some way?"

Taiyo Ohga snapped out of his daze, realizing there was no way to explain this, and forced a smile, saying, "Sorry, I was just thinking about some unpleasant things. I didn't mean to target anyone."

Taiyo Oga dared not reveal the library's secret, but he had no way to solve the problem. The school library was a public library open to everyone, and he couldn't possibly stop Li Wei from going to the library. Doing so would only make things more obvious and more likely to expose Sumireko Sanshokuin's secret pregnancy.

Li Wei wore a warm smile, successfully putting Dahe Taiyang in a dilemma. Caught in this predicament, Dahe Taiyang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but this also brought him some points income—not much, but better than nothing.

Li Wei stood up and said with a smile, "Then let's go. I am very interested in this library's collection. Whenever I go to a new place, the first place I visit is not the famous local scenery, but the library with the largest collection of books. Books are the most precious treasure of mankind."

Li Wei's words were like a sharp blade piercing Dahe Taiyang's heart. Dahe Taiyang was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express his suffering.

Chapter 4. Inside the Library

Li Wei led a group of beautiful girls, each with their own unique charm, toward the library. Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention from passersby, and the boys all showed expressions of envy or jealousy.

Not far away, Akino Sakura, watching this team from the corner, had a speechless expression. Is this what you call being low-key? Akino Sakura didn't know how to complain anymore. Li Wei had only been learning for a day, and he had already gathered beautiful girls. In a while, he might have already built the Crystal Palace.

However, Sakura Akino had to admit that Li Wei was an incredibly charming young man, stunning even from afar. Li Wei was far more captivating in person than in photos; in that instant, she felt her breathing quicken, her heart race, and she realized she was in love.

Sakura Akino's cheeks were already flushed. She hadn't expected that she, who was focused on her studies, would meet a boy who made her heart flutter.

Li Wei has now gained some control over his charm and is no longer indiscriminately showering others with attention. He has mastered the ability to maintain his charm when facing a specific individual without suppressing it.

In the eyes of ordinary girls, although Li Wei is handsome enough to make them scream, they can at least control themselves. However, special individuals can witness Li Wei's unrestrained charm, and this one-on-one "allure" can save Li Wei's pursuit of her some unnecessary trouble.

Sakura Akino happened to be a special individual targeted by Li Wei, so she was essentially subjected to the full power of "charm". It was precisely because of this that her heart raced and her face turned red just by looking at Li Wei.

Sakura Akino muttered to herself, "Damn it, why is he so good-looking? Have I fallen for him? I've actually fallen for a womanizer?! But I can't lie to myself about this feeling!"

Sakura Akino forced herself to calm down, but it was all in vain. The more she tried to calm down, the more chaotic her mind became, until finally, all she could see was Li Wei's image.

Sakura Akino clutched her chest and closed her eyes, letting her thoughts run wild. It took her a while to recover from the dizzying, chaotic state. Sakura sighed; she realized that her heart could no longer hold another man.

Li Wei led Maya Maya and the others straight to the library. Nishiki Tsutaka High School did not have a separate library; the library was located in the teaching building, mixed in with the classrooms. However, the library was in a relatively remote location, and not many people came here on weekdays.

Li Wei arrived at the entrance of the library and said to the girls behind him, "Acha, Haruna, Sui, Kotomi, and Sugiha. I know you are all lively girls who are used to playing around, but this is a library, a quiet place. So when we go in, please try not to make any loud noises or disturbances so as not to disturb other people who are reading."

The girls all nodded. Since Li Wei had already spoken, they would naturally do as he said. Moreover, making a big commotion in the library was very impolite. They weren't the kind of reckless, hot girls who acted without restraint, so they naturally didn't want to do something so uncivilized.

Mayama Ayaka smiled and said, "We'll be careful and make sure we don't cause any trouble."

Li Wei opened the library door and led the girls inside.

Sumireko Sanshokuin, who was reading a book, heard the sound of the door opening. She looked up and saw a huge crowd occupying the doorway, which startled her.

Li Wei scrutinized the disguised Sumireko Sanshokuin. Her fine hair was tied into an old-fashioned three-strand braid, and her deliberately long bangs covered most of her face. Coupled with her outdated black-rimmed glasses, her original beauty was perfectly concealed.

Sumireko Sanshokuin has a great figure, but in order to conceal her true appearance, she uses a corset to bind her fullness, which is far beyond what her peers would expect. She also deliberately wears an old-fashioned long skirt to cover up her long legs.

With this disguise, the super beautiful girl was transformed into an ordinary girl who could be completely lost in the public eye.

Li Wei approached Sumireko Sanshokuin and said with a smile, "Excuse me for disturbing your reading. I would like to ask if I need any kind of certificate to read here?"

Maya and the others were unaware of this, as they had never been to the library before. This group of active young people usually left school immediately after class to enjoy their extracurricular activities, and the library, a place for "good kids," seemed rather distant to them.

Sumireko Sanshokuin closed the book she was reading, her eyes, hidden behind her black-rimmed glasses, filled with disbelief. She had a very strong sense of self-control; although she was stunned by Li Wei's charm, she quickly came to her senses.

Sumireko Sanshokuin said somewhat reservedly, "If you're reading in the library, you don't need any proof. But if you want to take a book out of the library, you need to register with your student ID. You can only borrow books for seven days at a time, and you need to register again after seven days. Also, if a borrowed book is damaged, you will need to pay compensation at several times the book's price. Is that clear enough?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "I understand now. By the way, I wanted to ask if you have any book recommendations, admin? I'm a foreign student who just came here to study and I don't know anything about this place."

Sumireko Sanshokuin adjusted her slightly slipped glasses and said, "This library has many good books. I personally recommend you take a look at 'The Dancing Girl of Izu' and 'Snow Country.' Both are works by Yasunari Kawabata, and I personally think they are quite good."

Li Wei nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your recommendation. Recommendations from administrators are usually good. I will read both books carefully."

Sumireko Sanshokuin nodded, her head bowed, not daring to look up and let Li Wei see her already blushing cheeks. Sumireko felt her current state was utterly inexplicable; she was actually feeling a flutter in her heart for the first time with this boy she had just met. This was the first time she had ever felt this way.

Because of her experiences during the Japanese occupation, Sumireko Sanshokuin almost developed androphobia. She was wary of men, but when facing Li Wei, she felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, she felt a sense of security. This feeling of security both amused and frightened her.

Chapter 4. Sumireko Sanshokuin

Li Wei said, "Could you please take me to these two books? This is my first time here, and I'm completely unfamiliar with the area. I can't find the corresponding bookshelf."

Sumireko Sanshokuin nodded. Even students from other schools need time to adapt to a new environment, let alone international students like Li Wei.

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "I'll take you to find those two books. Next time, you'll be able to find them yourself."

Sumireko Sanshokuin saw a familiar shadow in Li Wei. At first glance, she felt the two had many similarities, but upon closer inspection, she realized she was overthinking it. The two were completely different. Li Wei was outwardly friendly, but deep down he was arrogant—an absolute confidence in his own abilities. However, this arrogance didn't carry any malice towards others, so she didn't dislike him.

Li Wei said to the girls behind him, "I'm going to find some books. You guys do your own things, but remember to keep as quiet as possible."

The girls nodded and walked towards the booth area. Although Ximu Niaogao's library was not large, it was small but complete, with everything you could need, from the bookshelf area to the rest area for reading.

The girls found seats and took out the test question sets that Li Wei had prepared for them from their bags, and began to work on the questions.
