So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

Or have you let it go? After all, Sister Mo always says that it's the 21st century now, so girls don't value their first kiss as much as boys imagine?

still is……

In just a few steps, countless guesses flashed through Zhou You's mind.

He figured that either Sister Mo wanted to scold him or tell him to forget it; it couldn't possibly be...

Zhou You stopped outside the principal's room, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door. A thought that had been buried under countless chaotic ideas suddenly surfaced.

Something he had never thought of, and dared not even think of.

Surely Sister Mo doesn't want to be one of his girlfriends, right?

"Impossible. Sister Mo has a good personality, is beautiful, and knows how to take care of people. If she were one of my girlfriends, wouldn't that be like degrading myself?"

He was momentarily dazed, then came to his senses, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and thought that his previous idea was utterly absurd and laughable.

No matter how much Teacher Ning cares for him, takes care of him, or treats him well, she will never choose this bad man to be her man.

"Is this Xiaoyou? Come in." Ning Moxin's voice came late, interrupting Zhou You's thoughts.

Zhou You pushed open the door to the principal's office and went inside.

Ning Moxin stood in the center of the office, her face clearly made up, making her even more radiant and beautiful than usual.

She had thought it through; confessing her feelings wasn't the starting point for an attack, but rather the clarion call for victory.

If you can succeed, you will succeed no matter what; if you can't succeed, no amount of effort will help.

So, let's just be straightforward.

"Xiao You".

She gave him her usual gentle smile and said, "I like you."

228. Teacher Ning, I'm a bad girl.

"???"

Zhou You's expression was indescribable. One second he was denying the possibility that Ning Moxin liked him, and the next second Ning Moxin dealt him a critical blow with just four words.

It was only thanks to his extensive experience during this period that he was able to muster even a little energy.

"Sister Mo, are you... joking with me?"

"No." When Ning Moxin saw that Zhou You's face did not show the surprised expression she had hoped to see, she clenched her small hands hidden in her sleeves.

"How could I possibly joke with you like that?"

"Sister Mo, do you have some kind of plan, just like last time, so you're saying this on purpose?"

"I had no plans, and I wasn't just teasing you."

"… .."

Zhou You took a deep breath, then another, but he was still unable to suppress the shock in his heart.

Since Ning Moxin had no plan and wasn't teasing him, that means...

Does she really like him?

Does Teacher Ning like... Zhou?

He stood there in a daze. After a while, Ning Moxin walked up to him and stared at him intently.

"Xiao You doesn't want me to become your official girlfriend? Doesn't want me to be one of your real girlfriends?"

Zhou You's already difficult-to-describe expression became even more complicated upon hearing this. "One of my girlfriends? Sister Mo, do you mean...?"

"I've been encouraging you to build a harem all along." Ning Moxin loosened her tightly clenched hands. "Wouldn't it be ridiculous if I brought up wanting to have them all to myself now?"

"But... for this reason..." Helping someone build a harem and joining someone else's harem are two completely different concepts.

"Actually, I also feel that I can't compete with them and can't have you all to myself."

Ning Moxin continued, "Moreover, as I mentioned before, if they act recklessly because of heartbreak, it will have a huge impact. I don't know how much economic loss it will cause, or how many people will lose their jobs."

"...Sister Mo, you're exaggerating. Sister Hua and Sister Bing wouldn't be that impulsive. Besides, I won't break up with them."

Although Zhou You felt it was strange that Ning Moxin had elevated his relationship with them to such a high level, he still responded in his own way.

The idea that Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang broke up is a false premise; he had no intention of breaking up with these two older women at all.

Ning Moxin gently placed her hand on Zhou You's shoulder. "I made up two excuses for myself to accept being one of your girlfriends. Are you still going to reject me?"

Her words left Zhou You speechless.

Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang already thought Ning Moxin was their girlfriend, so he wouldn't feel anything if he accepted Ning Moxin. The other two older sisters wouldn't react at all.

Furthermore, since Ning Mo was willing to be one of his girlfriends, it could be said that accepting her was a "sure thing" for him.

"So, Sister Mo, you like me? Even knowing about my relationship with the two sisters..." Zhou You hesitated, then stopped.

"It's not impossible for someone to fall for a man who already has a girlfriend."

When asked about Zhou You's question, Ning Moxin's clear eyes flashed with a dark light. "It's just that everyone usually tries to restrain themselves and follow the rules, but only good children follow the rules."

“…?” Zhou You didn’t quite understand what Ning Moxin meant.

“I don’t want to be a good girl.” Ning Moxin slid her hand from his shoulder to his chest. “I just want to be a really bad woman, to be with my beloved and please him, and I won’t care about any worldly opinions. As long as you don’t look down on me, I don’t care what others think of me.”

Zhou You understood a little, but not completely. However, he did realize that Ning Moxin was very serious now.

At this point in the conversation, it seemed he only needed to agree immediately.

"Sister Mo, do you think we can be happy like this? I'm very confident I can make Sister Hua happy if I try my best, and I can work harder to win over Sister Bing, but if we add you, Sister Mo..."

He was neither a reincarnated person nor a time traveler; he had no cheat codes or system.

Simultaneously satisfying the needs of three older sisters and ensuring their eternal happiness is probably...

"Is this your answer?" Ning Moxin staggered backward, her eyes beginning to redden.

Her rosy lips were pressed into a thin line, and the knuckles of her fingers appeared pale from being clenched so tightly.

She only asked for a little bit, but in the end, she couldn't even get that little bit?

"Sister Mo..." Zhou You opened his mouth, about to say something, seeing Ning Mo's tearful appearance.

The principal's office door was pushed open again, and a gray-haired man holding a decorative cane barged in.

He first glanced at Zhou You expressionlessly, then mocked Ning Moxin in an unusually cold voice.

"I knew Mo Xin, you were lying to me. What do you mean you're pregnant? If you were really pregnant, would you still be out partying every night?"

"Come home with me now and do as I say."

Ning Moxin looked at Ning Chutang who suddenly barged into the office, her pearly teeth lightly biting her lower lip. Perhaps her willful desire to be a bad child was a mistake in itself.

Following the arrangements of their elders, they drifted through life in a daze...

She lifted her foot and walked towards Ningchutang.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

She stopped and gently shook her head. "Father, please go back. I will no longer follow any of your arrangements, because I don't want to be like my sister, spending my whole life with a gloomy face."

"You're going against me for a man who wouldn't even take you if you offered him money?" Ning Chutang stared at her second daughter, completely unable to understand what she was thinking.

“I can wait, until he’s confident he can make me happy too, then he can come back to me.” Ning Moxin lowered her eyes, her voice trembling uncontrollably, yet resolute.

"How long can you wait?"

"I can wait a very, very long time."

Ning Moxin answered decisively, but Ning Chutang frowned deeply. He stared at Ning Moxin for a moment and then snorted coldly.

"Hmph, you're not a kid anymore, yet you're still so childish."

He finished speaking coldly, then raised his hand and grabbed Ning Moxin's wrist, presumably intending to forcibly take her away.

However, Ning Chutang stopped halfway through reaching out her hand.

A boy stood in front of Ning Moxin.

"You want to fight me?" Ning Chutang's tone was unfriendly.

Zhou You gently shook his head.

"Then move aside." Ning Chutang said in a tone that could be described as scolding.

Zhou You shielded Ning Moxin behind him, but still shook his head.

"If you don't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite." Ning Chutang's expression gradually turned cold.

Zhou You remained silent, his attitude resolute.

"Heh," Ning Chutang sneered, "Do you think I'm joking?"

He raised the decorative cane with his other hand and, without thinking, struck Zhou You directly.

huh~~

Bang!

After a gust of wind, came the sound of a wooden stick striking flesh.

Zhou You's expression changed visibly, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The solid wood hitting him hurt more than he had imagined, but he remained motionless.

Seeing Zhou You like this, Ning Chutang narrowed his eyes and raised his cane again.

huh~~

A strong gust of wind blew, but there was no sound of the stick hitting flesh. The cane stopped a few centimeters away from Zhou You's forehead. Zhou You remained motionless, and didn't even close his eyes.

After a while, Ning Chutang, with a sour face and no one knowing what she was thinking, simply removed her cane from Zhou You's forehead, then flicked her sleeve and left without looking back.

He didn't say a word throughout the entire process.
