Sumireko Sanshokuin was already itching to trick Yasuo Hazuki. She had always disliked people who used moral blackmail, and Yasuo Hazuki was a master at it. His words and actions subtly brainwashed those around him, reminding her of cult leaders.
Therefore, Sumireko Sanshokuin felt no remorse for doing this; she believed she was doing the right thing, rescuing the two girls from Yasuo Hazuki's side.
Sakurahara Momo felt a little guilty. She felt that her loyalty to Hazuki Yasuo was wavering, which made her doubt herself. However, if she didn't see the person Sanshokuin Sumireko mentioned, she felt uneasy and regretful.
Meanwhile, Akino Sakura saw Sakurahara Momo wavering and said to the expressionless girl in front of her, "The student council president you trusted is now wavering."
Kusamizuki frowned slightly. This subtle change in expression broke her icy facade, finally revealing a hint of humanity. On the surface, Kusamizuki didn't appear to have changed much, but those who knew her well would know that at this moment, she had suffered a tremendous shock inside.
Kusami Tsuki knows Sakurahara Momo very well. As the student council president of Karasu High School, Sakurahara Momo may not be as good as Akino Sakura in terms of overall ability, but as the student council president, her ability is much stronger than that of her peers. However, now, it is Sakurahara Momo who is in a state of wavering, which makes her feel very unbelievable.
Sakura Akino didn't say anything more, but a victor's smile had already appeared on her face.
Sumireko Sanshokuin made a phone call, and shortly after, she and Momo Sakurahara came over.
Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "Sakura-senpai, and Tsukimi, you can come with me to Nishiki Tsutsumi High School now. Why don't I want to go back? You'll find the answers you're looking for there. But for now, we can find a coffee shop to kill some time. If you don't mind, the bookstore in the back is also a good place to go."
Sumireko Sanshokuin has decided to come back for the book another day, as she has more important things to do now. If she could rescue Momo Sakurahara and Tsuki Kusami from their cult-like brainwashing state, it would be a great thing, since their current state is really off, and if things continue like this, who knows what might happen.
She didn't have this ability before, so naturally she wanted to leave Tang Changpu High School, or more precisely, she wanted to get as far away from Hazuki Yasuo as possible. After all, Hazuki Yasuo's abilities and connections were there for all to see. As long as she exposed her true colors, it wouldn't be long before Hazuki Yasuo would find out that she was here and come after her.
She had been pretending all along, and the deepest reason for this was this: Hazuki Yasuo liked her, which was his personal choice, and she couldn't interfere.
Moreover, Yasuo Hazuki is a very difficult person to deal with. He always uses his false gentleness to deceive those around him, then pulls them into his camp to put pressure on someone in order to achieve his own goals.
Sumireko Sanshokuin felt that it was a waste of Hazuki Yasuo's talent not to become a cult leader. If he wanted to, he could even create a large cult with thousands of members. That man was that terrifying.
His outward gentleness, though feigned, is merely a disguise for Hazuki Yasuo. However, it also serves as a constraint on him. After all, maintaining a persona requires effort. Therefore, even if Hazuki Yasuo wants to do something outrageous, he must do it indirectly and from other angles to achieve his goals. In any case, the first principle is to ensure that his gentle and righteous persona is not damaged.
Just like when facing her, Hazuki Yasuo never takes the initiative to express his own thoughts. Instead, he lets Sakurahara Momo and Kusamizuki say what he wants to say on his behalf. He is like an outsider, able to get what he wants without having to lift a finger.
Kusami Tsuki looked at Sakurahara Momo. Although her expression was unreadable, Sakurahara Momo knew that she was puzzled.
Sakurahara Momo said, "I'm going to Nishiki Tsutaka."
Kusami Tsuki asked, "What's going on?"
Sakurahara Momo said, "There's something I'm concerned about with Nishiki Tsutaka. I have to go and see what's going on."
Kusamizuki said, "Then I'll go with you."
Kusami Tsuki is used to going out with Sakurahara Momo, and she feels uneasy if she has to let the other person go alone. This feeling is similar to the feeling of worrying that a family member might encounter an accident while going out.
The four girls entered the bookstore and spent the time reading. About ten minutes later, Sumireko Sanshokuin received a call informing her that the car to pick them up had arrived.
The four girls arrived outside the bookstore, where a low-key Mercedes-Benz G-Class awaited them. Of course, this was considered low-key for Sumireko Sanshokuin and Sakura Akino; compared to the extended Bentley that Levi often drove, this was quite understated.
The color and license plate matched. The driver opened the car door, got out, and came to the four girls, saying, "Miss Sumire, Miss Sakura, the BOSS hasn't left the school yet. We can go directly there."
Li Wei is currently keeping the student council members company while they work, or rather, he's watching them work. Of course, he's obediently sitting outside, leaning against the wall, scrolling through his phone. However, while others are either chatting online or watching short videos, he's diligently reading books through a paid reading app.
Of course, holding a cell phone and squatting like a Russian Gopnik, to those who don't know the inside story, he looks like a street thug squatting on the side of the road. If there's a radio or an empty wine bottle next to him, the disguise is even more perfect.
Through the spellcasting medium left at the scene, Li Wei clearly understood what the two girls were thinking. Regarding Sumireko Sanshokuin's evaluation of Yasuo Hazuki, Li Wei, who had only watched the anime and not read the original light novel, didn't fully grasp it. Yasuo Hazuki appeared at the beginning of the anime and had a significant role in the later episodes; compared to Ayuru Kisaragi, this character felt more like a protagonist.
In the original storyline, Kisaragi Amatsu and Hazuki Yasuo became friends due to certain events, but due to Li Wei's alteration of the plot, the two are now strangers. However, even in just a few episodes of the anime, Hazuki Yasuo gave Li Wei the feeling that he was definitely a ruthless person similar to Aizen.
Unexpectedly, it really was like that. Through Sakurahara Momo's memories, Li Wei learned a lot about Hazuki Yasuo, which made him feel like he had found a kindred spirit. To be honest, he didn't dislike Hazuki Yasuo. After all, it's normal in the adult world to use any means to achieve one's goals. Hazuki Yasuo was just using adult methods in his student days ahead of time, which could be considered a kind of dimensional reduction attack on his peers.
Chapter 1. Sakurahara Momo's Conjecture
Sakurahara Momo saw a tall, imposing man in a black suit, with slicked-back hair, looking more like a boss than a driver. Her surprise left her speechless.
Furthermore, the driver's respect for Sumireko Sanshokuin and Sakura Akino made her think more deeply. She realized that she and her companions didn't really know Sumireko Sanshokuin. After all, they had spent so much time together, yet she didn't even know Sumireko's hobbies, family background, or where she lived. If she truly understood Sumireko, they wouldn't have been unable to find her after she left school.
What Momo Sakurahara didn't know was that Sumireko Sanshokuin was always very secretive about her own affairs. After all, excessive beauty without the power to protect it could easily bring trouble upon herself if she didn't.
Momo Sakurahara was now filled with all sorts of speculation. Perhaps Sumireko Sanshokuin's family was very wealthy, or perhaps the person Sumireko Sanshokuin mentioned was very rich. Whatever the case, things had become complicated. The entanglement between ordinary people and the wealthy was always troublesome.
Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "Please take us there."
"You're welcome, Miss Sumire, it's my duty." The driver opened the back door for the four girls. This large SUV could comfortably accommodate four people in the back.
The girls got into the car, and the driver returned to the driver's seat and started the car. Once inside, Sakurahara Momoko noticed that the car had a partition between the front and back seats. This soundproofing meant that the driver in the front couldn't hear the people in the back discussing sensitive topics. This unusual feature made her wonder about the identity of the car's owner.
Sakurahara Momo and Kusami Tsuki remained silent on the way, and Sanshokuin Sumireko and Akino Sakura also kept quiet because there were two "outsiders" present. After all, some things are not suitable to be said in front of outsiders.
Because there was still some time before your rush hour, the roads were very clear. After about a ten-minute drive, the SUV stopped at the entrance of Ximu Niaogao.
The four girls got out of the car, and the SUV drove away from the school gate.
Sumireko Sanshokuin smiled and said, "Sakura-senpai, I know you have many questions in your heart right now, but after you meet that person, you will understand why I like my current life."
Sakurahara Momo asked, "Is it alright for students from other schools like us to come here?"
Sanshokuin Sumireko laughed and said, "Nishiki Tsutaka doesn't have those rigid rules, and school is over now. The school doesn't have any strict requirements in this regard. It's just that you have to register at the gatehouse."
This level of inspection is very basic, and it's just registration; there's nothing else involved. Sakurahara Momo felt that this was acceptable.
The four girls passed through the school gate. Sakurahara Momo and Kusami Tsuki simply registered with their student IDs, and the security guard at the administration office let them through.
Pedestrians entered the building through the side door of the teaching building, climbed up the stairs, and soon arrived at the top floor where the student union office was located.
Then, the four girls spotted Li Wei squatting on the ground, holding a phone in his hand, with a Coke bottle next to him.
Because of the angle, Sakurahara Momo couldn't clearly see Li Wei's face, and because he was squatting, she couldn't see his build either. Given Li Wei's deliberately disheveled appearance, Sakurahara Momo made a misjudgment, thinking that someone squatting by the roadside like that must be a delinquent. The thought of passing by such a delinquent made her uneasy.
To Sakurahara Momo's surprise, Sanshokuin Sumireko waved to the delinquent squatting on the ground and said, "Li Wei-kun, can you come over here for a bit?"
Li Wei, who had already spotted the girls, pretended to only notice them now, turned around, and stood up.
Initially somewhat dismissive, Sakurahara Momoko misjudged Li Wei due to her perspective. He was far taller and more imposing than she had imagined. Standing up, he didn't resemble a teenager at all; instead, he had the air of a bodybuilder. Of course, Li Wei's muscle mass wasn't as exaggerated as a bodybuilder's. His muscles were more like those of an ancient Greek hero sculptureābeautiful and healthy, giving off a powerful yet "elegant" feel. This strange feeling left Sakurahara Momoko somewhat bewildered.
When Li Wei turned his face towards her, Sakurahara Momo felt as if her heart had been punched hard. She felt like she couldn't breathe. Li Wei's face was handsome and masculine, exuding a domineering and dignified aura of a superior. However, when Li Wei smiled, his domineering aura turned into gentleness.
The moment Sakurahara Momo saw Livy's smile, she was reminded of Apollo, the sun god of ancient Greek mythology. Because of the perspective provided by the glass window, Livy, bathed in the dazzling sunlight, gave people an indescribable sense of warmth.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Jinzi, didn't you go out to buy books? Why did you come back empty-handed?"
Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "Because there are more important things to do, we can only postpone the book purchase until next time. Li Weijun, let me introduce you. These two are students of Karasu High School, Sakurahara Momo-senpai and Kusami Tsuki-kun."
Li Wei feigned surprise and said, "This is truly rare; it's rare to see students from Tang Changpu High School come here. However, we welcome them whenever they come."
Li Wei's words made Sakurahara Momo and Kusami Tsuki feel a little awkward. After all, his magnanimous attitude was far superior to that of the students at Karasu High School.
The students at Tang Changpu High School made no attempt to hide their hostility towards Ximu Niao High School. If Li Wei and his group had gone to Tang Changpu High School, they might not have received such friendly treatment.
Just then, the door to the student council office opened, and a young man in a smart uniform came to Li Wei's side, holding a report in his hand. He said in a low voice, "Minister, the budget has been completed. Next, we just need to contact the engineering department outside."
Li Wei glanced at the report briefly and said, "Trillionize the budget. As long as I do things perfectly, I don't care about the expenses. Thank you for your hard work."
The capable young man said, "This is my job, I'll take care of it right away."
After the capable young man left, Li Wei smiled and said, "Gentlemen, it's against hospitality to talk here. Please come with me."
Sumireko Sanshokuin smiled and said, "There's a rest area here, please come with us."
Sakurahara Momo and Kusami Tsuki exchanged a glance. They had no reason to refuse; given the politeness of the other party, they had to reciprocate in kind.
Chapter 1. The Boy Like the Sun God
Li Wei smiled and said, "Guests are always welcome. Now that we've come to Ximu Niaogao, as a staff member here, I should do my best to be a good host."
Sakurahara Momo said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Li Wei walked ahead, turned around and said, "I still don't know your names."
Sakurahara Momo said, "Sakurahara Momo is the student council president of Gladiolus High School. The person next to me is Kusami Tsuki."
Kusami Tsuki nodded slightly; being a woman of few words, this was her way of greeting.
Li Wei smiled and said, "My name is Li Wei. I'm an international student from Chongguo. I'm currently the Minister of External Relations at Ximu Niao High School. It's a pleasure to meet you both. Are you here on official business?"
Sakurahara Momo smiled and said, "It's not business. We just came here for a visit at the invitation of an old friend."
Sakurahara Momo already knew in her heart that the tall, handsome young man in front of her was the reason that Sanshokuin Sumireko had mentioned. However, she could now understand that even she was deeply shaken by Li Wei's handsome appearance, which was like that of a sun god.
Sakurahara Momo thought to herself that she and Kusamizuki had once expressed their feelings to Hazuki Yasuo, but their feelings had been trampled on by him. Although Hazuki Yasuo had a gentle appearance, she understood the meaning behind his rejection.
Hazuki Yasuo had two plans. If he could win over Sanshokuin Sumireko, he would announce that he already had a girlfriend. If he couldn't win over Sanshokuin Sumireko, he wouldn't accept the feelings of any other girl. Only in this way could he be as successful as a fish among many girls. Once he established a relationship with a girl, it would mean giving up the whole forest for a single tree. Only a stunning beauty like Sanshokuin Sumireko could make Hazuki Yasuo do that.
Sakurahara Momoko had been deceiving herself, but the moment she saw Li Wei, she realized how foolish she had been to stay by the side of someone like Hazuki Yasuo for all sorts of trivial reasons and let him do whatever he wanted.
Sakurahara Momo quickly shook her head. She realized that she was wavering too quickly. Moreover, she didn't know what kind of person Li Wei was at all. However, she had already formed a preconceived notion that someone whom Sanshokuin Sumireko could rely on must be much stronger than Hazuki Yasuo. She didn't know where this feeling came from, but this thought just arose in her mind.
The pedestrians arrived at the entrance to the rooftop. Under the curious and puzzled gazes of Sakurahara Momo and Kusamizuki, Li Wei took out a key and opened the door leading to the rooftop. The moment the door opened, Sakurahara Momo and Kusamizuki were stunned. What should have been a blank rooftop was instead an extremely luxurious rest area, resembling a leisure club frequented by the wealthy. Just looking at it gave one a sense of excessive extravagance that made them hesitant to set foot there.
Li Wei walked through the gate first, turned around, and said with a smile, "Please rest here for a while, both of you. What would you like to drink? We have all kinds of non-alcoholic beverages here, except for alcohol. Oh, and we also have some desserts and snacks on hand."
Sakurahara Momo whispered to Sanshokuin Sumireko, "Is this the person you were talking about?"
Sumireko Sanshokuin whispered, "Now you should believe that person isn't fictional, right? Isn't he charming?"
Sakurahara Momo wanted to deny Sanshokuin Sumireko's words, but the words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back, only nodding slightly. She wanted to deny Sanshokuin Sumireko's words against her will, but such a statement would be the most clumsy lie. Anyone who wasn't blind could feel Li Wei's charm.
No one can go through life without lying, whether it's a white lie or a malicious one; there will always be a time when it comes to using it. But in either case, there's a prerequisite: the lie must be believable and not immediately obvious. Who would believe it if someone, having already experienced Li Wei's charm, were to deny it against their conscience?
Sumireko Sanshokuin whispered, "The biggest difference between Li Wei and Hazuki Yasuo is that when it comes to feelings, Li Wei is very decisive. If he wants to accept someone, he accepts them; if he doesn't, he says so directly. He won't string people along. Just like you and Tsukimi now, aren't you being led by the nose?"
Yasuo Hazuki's attitude towards girls is to neither take the initiative nor refuse, nor take responsibility or express his opinion. He gives girls hope, then keeps them hanging on, using their abilities and connections to accomplish his own goals.
Sumireko Sanshokuin didn't see this clearly at first, since she was in the thick of it. But when she realized she had to step back and think from an outsider's perspective, she realized that Yasuo Hazuki was an absolute scumbag.
Although Li Wei is also a womanizer, he takes responsibility and does his best to make every girl around him happy. However, Hazuki Yasuo does not do this. To him, the girls around him are just useful tools.
It was precisely because she understood this that Sumireko Sanshokuin was terrified of Yasuo Hazuki, even going so far as to change her name to avoid him. Now, with Li Wei protecting her, she no longer needs to fear Yasuo Hazuki's entanglements; otherwise, she would still be maintaining her disguise.
Sakurahara Momo said, "I'm not that stupid."
