My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Kouta's self-proclaimed mature, thirty-year-old manly mindset crumbled instantly. He reached out and pulled Hui into his arms, feeling her delicate, boneless body. His heart fluttered uncontrollably, and just as he was about to take the next step, a myriad of thoughts suddenly flooded his mind:

Is it really okay to just let things continue like this, completely indulging your desires and trying to possess Hui completely?

I'm just a 30-year-old man, my youth is long gone, while Hui-cai is just a high school girl, she has a brighter future ahead of her.

Moreover... she accepted that I was just a teenage girl experiencing budding sexual desires and a longing for love.

What if Hui meets someone she likes even more in the future?

What if the person she likes minds that she lost her virginity before marriage?

Although media reports often say that Japan is very open-minded, and that it's common for high school students to sleep with others...

However, this is simply due to survivorship bias.

The so-called 'survivorship bias' refers to the phenomenon where people only see the results that have been filtered out, without being aware of the filtering process, and thus ignoring the key information that was filtered out.

Survivorship bias refers to the phenomenon that when information is obtained solely from survivors (because the dead cannot speak), this information may be biased from the actual situation.

This principle also applies to the financial and business sectors, where surviving companies are often regarded as "legends," and their practices are widely imitated.

In reality, some of them may have survived simply due to chance.

Because it is always women who have lost their virginity before marriage who speak in public, using women's rights to cover up their indiscretions and glorify them as a mature way of being a young girl, and deliberately mocking women who are chaste in life, distorting their purity into something rustic and backward, making them feel inferior and afraid to speak out, leading the outside world to believe that Japan doesn't care whether a woman is a virgin before marriage.

This is actually inconsistent with reality. Japanese society is still relatively traditional, and the more cultured a family is, the more it will teach its daughters to be chaste and self-respecting.

In Japan, most high schools with a certain level of educational background have regulations prohibiting girls from working after school. If they are found to be working in shady industries such as bars or maid cafes, the lightest punishment they will receive is suspension.

Even if some high schools do not prohibit part-time work, they will have a special department at the school to review the location of the work, which is very strict.

This shows that Japanese women are not as indifferent to their chaste identity and live very casually as outsiders believe.

Although the Japanese adult film industry is thriving, most of the women who make adult films are either former employees of sex shops, bubble baths, or Thai bathhouses, or they work part-time in these industries.

I only make films because I get paid.

Moreover, Japan has a population of over 1.3 million, and if we assume that women make up half of the total population, that's 6500 million. But how many Japanese women actually make adult films? At its peak, it was only around 15.

Therefore, the women in adult films do not truly represent Japanese women.

Furthermore, in Japan, the majority of men hold traditional views. Although it is not as severe as in the feudal era, men who achieve even a little success will find a pure girl to marry.

Having dropped out of school and mingled among all sorts of people, Kouta naturally knew that if he possessed Hui now, although he would enjoy himself, he might ruin Hui's life.

Thinking of this, Kouta gritted his teeth, then firmly pushed Kei away from him. Realizing that he had been too rough, he stepped forward, grabbed Kei's hand, and apologized, "I'm sorry, just now... just now. Oh! Um... it's about time, let's go."

Hui felt terrible when she realized she had been pushed away, as if it made her feel like a sexually frustrated and bad woman.

Hui is angry!

"Hehe, what do you mean 'it's almost time, let's go'?"

Hui shook off Kouta's hand with a straight face and said, "I can walk by myself."

Kouta noticed something was wrong; Kei seemed angry. He tentatively asked, "Kei, are you angry?"

"I do not have."

"No, you're definitely angry. You weren't like this just now."

Mentioning what just happened made Hui even angrier. "You still have the nerve to bring up what just happened? Do you know how much determination I had to make to do that kind of thing? And you're so clueless! Just you wait, next time you beg me, I won't let you touch me."

"I said no, so it's no!"

"Uh, okay, if you say no, then no." Kouta remembered that his sister had said that when arguing with his girlfriend, he should go along with her.

"You—get away from me."

Of course, Kouta wasn't going to go far away, so he went forward to pack his things and prepare to leave for the meeting.

"By the way, Hui, have you finished your sketching?"

"I'm not in the mood, I don't want to do it."

"Uh, okay, here, take mine." Kouta knew all along that Hui couldn't possibly have made these things; she had already finished two photo books.

Hui was conflicted, but after a while, she accepted Kouta's work without saying a word and snorted, "Hmph! Don't think I'll forgive you just because of this."

Kouta followed Kei back to the hot spring hotel, and then to their respective rooms. Of course, Kouta tried his best to talk to her along the way, but Kei insisted on ignoring him. She made up her mind to ignore him for three days, no, two days, so that Kouta would seriously reflect on his mistakes!

Hui guessed that Gengtai didn't even know why he was angry, but did she expect her to say it out loud? How could a girl like her say it?

After returning to her room, Hui took another shower, changed all her clothes, and then lay down on the bed to rest.

The setting sun had begun to cast its last rays. Huiqi checked the time and realized it was almost five o'clock. So they gathered again in the open space next to the hotel because the school needed to take attendance.

Hui stood in the open space among her classmates, with no one else around, quietly waiting for the assembly time.

"Hey, don't you think my wife's classmate has gotten prettier?" a boy said to his best friend.

"Uh, really? Haven't you always been this beautiful?"

"Yes, it was beautiful before, but it's even more beautiful now."

"More beautiful? How beautiful is 'more beautiful'? That's practically saying nothing at all."

"Oh dear, I can't explain it to you clearly, but based on my years of experience observing girls, it's absolutely right."

"Forget it! Do you really believe the eye you've developed from playing visual novels? Besides, even if she's 'more beautiful,' what does that have to do with you? She can have a boyfriend."

"Can't you talk about this sad thing? Anime girls are the best; they won't be tainted by something like romance!"

"Uh, you're hopeless..."

Chapter 109 Discussion

"Don't rush, the best is yet to come. About a week ago, Honda Natsuko found out she was pregnant, but she wasn't happy about it."

"Yeah, that's normal. After all, close relatives can't marry, let alone have children, because they'll get genetic diseases. Of course she's not happy," her best friend said knowingly.

"Haha, she's not happy because she's pregnant with Honda's child. It's because she's unsure who the father is."

"Huh? What exactly happened?"

"So, it turns out that this Honda Natsuko has a boyfriend at school, and they've slept together countless times—"

"Huh!? Doesn't she like her father, Honda Kazunari? How come she has a boyfriend at school? What is she thinking?"

"What do you mean by 'what she's thinking'? She loves both of them at the same time. Isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?"

The best friend looked at her friend speechlessly: "Reality isn't a TV drama. Never mind, what happened next? Did Honda Kazunari find out that the child was someone else's, so he killed his own daughter out of love turned to hate?"

"Haha, you can never guess what will happen next in this whole thing. Later, Honda Natsuko's boyfriend at school found out she was pregnant, thought it was his child, and wanted her to have an abortion."

"However, Honda Natsuko believed the child was hers and Honda Kazunari's, so she refused to have an abortion. Her boyfriend, heartless as ever, put abortion pills in her water glass. Unaware of this, Honda Natsuko drank it, and her two-month-old fetus was lost—"

Best friend: "It's gone! It's good that it's gone, after all, it was probably the product of consanguineous marriage."

"You're wrong about that. The real climax is yet to come. The miscarriage caused a huge uproar at school, and Honda Kazunari found out that his daughter had been cheating on him with another man at school, and that she had lost what could have been his child. Honda Kazunari was furious, but the first thing he had to figure out was whether the child was his. But the results of the paternity test were truly eye-opening!"

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

"Hehe, the paternity test results show that this child is neither Ben Duoyicheng nor Ben Duoyicheng."

Enraged, Honda Kazunari made his daughter leave her boyfriend at school.

However, Honda Natsuko also deeply loves her boyfriend and doesn't want to leave.

Unable to tolerate his daughter falling in love with someone else, Honda Kazunari brutally murdered and dismembered her.

"Uh—I can only say I'm shocked beyond words."

"But the story isn't over yet. Whose child is it?"

"Since it's not Honda Kazushige's, it must be her boyfriend's!"

"Hehe, wrong. The answer is something you'd never guess. This child belongs to five thugs. It turns out that two months ago, Honda Natsuko was kidnapped and raped by these five men on her way home. They threatened her with nude photos and videos of her being gang-raped, forcing her to become their sex slave."

"This, this Honda Natsuko is so pitiful!" Her best friend felt a surge of sympathy.

"How pitiful! There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. I heard that she seduced her own mother, which led to her father's divorce."

Her best friend asked curiously, "What about her father? Was he arrested?"

"No, they're dead. They died in a suicide pact."

"What! Those five gang women did sex with Honda Natsuko's men?"

"Them? The police are searching, but haven't caught them yet."

At this moment, another girl next to them chimed in: "Hey, your information is outdated. I heard that some fishermen saw those five people jump into the sea and commit suicide..."

Another girl chimed in, "No, no, I heard that it was all a conspiracy orchestrated by Honda Natsuko's boyfriend. The child was originally his, but after Honda Natsuko refused to abort the child, he bribed the paternity doctor and five other people... and then planned all of this..."

A girl passing by chimed in, "You're all wrong. The real reason is that Honda Natsuko orchestrated all of this."

Because her beloved boyfriend was just using her to get close to a girl who seemed very pretty, but he failed in the end.

Her boyfriend used her and then casually abandoned her. Hatsuko Honda, consumed by hatred, deliberately seduced Kazunari Honda and five other men in order to make the incident shocking enough.

Only in this way could her boyfriend not suppress the matter, and only then could he be ruined, or at least remembered for her forever!

······

The girls were gossiping non-stop when one of them brought up something that had happened that afternoon that made her feel really unwell.

Her words surprised the listener, who realized this wasn't an isolated incident but something they themselves had experienced. They then asked the people around them, who also had the same experience…

One person's words may be an illusion, but when so many people have this feeling, then it must be... the legend of the ghosts of Sanchuan Mountain.

Everyone speculated that they had disturbed the mountain god or startled the spirits of the dead when they entered the mountains.

It's hard for Huixiang not to pay attention to such a huge topic of discussion.

Actually, Kei had noticed the girls when they were discussing Honda Natsuko.

Of course, Keishin was fully aware of Honda Natsuko's experiences, after all, it was a script he had already written.

As for the possibility of being exposed by being so high-profile, Hui thought it over and found no clues left behind.

Furthermore, having now reached 9600 million strings, the increase in her strength has filled Hui with confidence.

However, when they started talking about a new topic, Hui's expression turned serious. She put down her chopsticks and glanced at Tachibana Akiko across from her without making a sound.
