Problem Girls Strategy

"Yeah." Ying Lili did not continue asking. Knowing that the original manuscript of the book was found, her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

I'm bothering Jiang Zao again...

Ying Lili could only add another favor she owed Jiang Zao in her heart. In just a few days, she had received so much care from Jiang Zao. Words of gratitude were more like a pale and powerless blank check for all the help. But Ying Lili really couldn't give him anything in return except thanking him.

"Would you like some coffee?" Jiang Zao felt that he would probably have to deliver the manuscript to Ying Lili's house later, so he simply drank some coffee to refresh himself.

"Ah."

"Milk and sugar?"

"Ah."

Jiang Zao went to the kitchen to make coffee. Ying Lili sat obediently on the sofa in the hall, her mind full of thoughts. She was glad that Jiang Zao stopped her, otherwise if she were alone, she might still be worrying about the school gate, and finding the original manuscript would be a pipe dream.

Friends...is this what it feels like?

Jiang Zao is completely different from the friends I made at Fengzhizaki Private School under the false disguise of being a "lady of a noble family". He does not discriminate against my hobbies and will definitely help me when I am in trouble. It seems that no problem can stump him.

Eriri longs for the sincere and beautiful friendship between friends in various novels and animations. She used to think that this level of friendship only existed in fantasy, but she didn't expect to actually encounter it in reality.

"Here, your coffee." Jiang Zao held two cups of coffee and handed the one with milk and sugar cubes added to it to Ying Lili.

"Thank you."

Ying Lili took a small sip, but was still irritated by the bitter taste of the coffee. She frowned and stuck out her tongue. In fact, she hated to be good at drinking coffee.

"If you can't drink coffee, just say so..." Jiang Zao was angry and amused. He was about to take away the coffee that Ying Lili had placed on the table: "Pour out this cup of coffee. I'll get you a cup of milk."

Unexpectedly, Eriri grabbed the cup and drank all the coffee in one breath. Even though her whole face was squeezed with bitterness, she still pretended to be fine: "Who, who said I can't drink it? I... I'm completely, completely fine."

"Luckily you added ice milk to your cup, otherwise I think your mouth would be full of bubbles from the burn."

"I'm not stupid. I definitely wouldn't drink it like this if it was hot, but don't even think about taking this cup of coffee away from you."

"Brother, I've brought the express delivery to you." Nymph also delivered the manuscript of the book at this time.

"Thank you." Jiang Zao touched Nymph's blue hair as a reward.

After completing her mission, Nymph was about to go back directly, but unexpectedly, Eriri called her.

"It's not safe for you to run around alone this late at night. Why don't you stay in the dormitory for the night?"

Nymph turned her head to look at Jiang Zao and said in an emotionless voice: "Ah, I really want to sleep with my brother."

"Then you should go to your room and sleep first." Jiang Zao felt that the investigation report might have to be completed today.

Ying Lili, is this how you repay me?

Ying Lili had no idea that she had pushed Jiang Zao into the abyss called Juice Princess. After getting the manuscript of the book, she excitedly prepared to walk out of the dormitory.

"Eri, you just said that Nymph is unsafe alone at night, so you're not going to go home alone again, are you?"

"Ah...this..." Eriri did have this thought and touched her hair awkwardly.

"I'll take you home on Tianyin's motorcycle, follow me."

"Good, good."

Jiang Zao brought Ying Lili to a small warehouse, pushed out a motorcycle, and put a smaller motorcycle helmet on Ying Lili's head: "Put on the helmet, and show me the way."

"Hmm..." Ying Lili sat behind Jiang Zao, holding the manuscript in her right hand, and shyly put her left hand around his waist with a blushing face.

There were not many cars at night, Jiang Zao turned the accelerator, and the strong wind whistled past Ying Lili's ears. She didn't care about being shy and hugged him tightly: "Jiang Zao, are you riding too fast..."

"This is just the beginning, and aren't you in a hurry to send the manuscript back?"

Ying Lili suddenly thought of a very important question: "Have you passed the driving test?"

"No."

"...Then you still dare to ride a bike?"

"Aren't you also drawing books? An Xin, I'm just too lazy to take the test, not that I can't ride a bike. If the van at school wasn't suitable, I could drive you back."

Eriri was sent home by Jiang Zao with trepidation. Sayuri Sawamura received a phone call from Eriri and waited for the two of them in front of the house.

"Thank you so much, Jiang Zao."

"Sawamura..."

"Cough cough."

"You're too polite, Sawamura-sister. It's my duty to help my classmates. As the dormitory head, I can't let Eriri go home alone so late at night."

"Hey, what an excellent boy. My daughter is so unlucky that she didn't meet you earlier."

"Mom! What are you talking about? Here's the manuscript, Jiang Zao, let's go."

Akitomo was also awakened by the sound of the motorcycle. He opened the curtains sleepily and saw Sayuri Sawamura watching Eriri sitting on the motorcycle, and with a blushing face (because she was angry at Sayuri Sawamura), she hugged the boy and left the door.

Where are they going so late at night?

Tomoya Aki rushed out of the house barefoot in his pajamas. He couldn't find the motorcycle that had long disappeared into the night. He looked back at the closed door of Sawamura's house at the end of the street. Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

The pungent exhaust fumes filled the air, mocking him for being a step late.

Chapter 128 Gradual Relationship

The next morning, Nymph walked out of Jiang Zao's bedroom with a red face, but no one saw Jiang Zao come out of his room for two days over the weekend.

It's a new week again. Ying Lili has told Jiang Zao through [Momotalk] that the book they collaborated on received a very good response at this fan exhibition, and it was even reprinted twice.

At the same time, many fans also left messages under the "Kashiwagi Eri" account. They were all very curious about who the other author "Zao" in this book was, as they had never heard of this name before.

This was the name Jiang Zao gave at the insistence of Eriri. At first, he wanted to use the funny name "No update in the morning", but it was rejected by Eriri, saying that it was completely unsuitable as an author's name. Jiang Zao was too lazy to think of an online name and just asked her to use the word "Zao".

"Good morning, Jiang Zao." Ying Lili pushed open the classroom door and took the initiative to greet Jiang Zao.

"Good morning, Eriri."

"Why didn't you come out on the weekends?"

Facing Ying Lili's question, Jiang Zao's kidneys ached slightly, but he said calmly, "It's rare that I want to lie in bed and do nothing, so I spent two days like this."

"It's strange that you have moments like this."

"Hey, hey, I'm just an ordinary person after all. Of course I get lazy too."

"What a shame. I wanted to talk to you about this week's anime."

"I'll tell you about that after I go back and watch it. Don't spoil it for me."

"I won't do such a wicked thing."

As soon as Kato Hui walked into the classroom, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Jiang Zao, who immediately waved and greeted him: "Good morning, Hui."

"Good morning, Jiang Zao." Kato Megumi was not used to such a name and reacted a little slowly, but she still called him as they had agreed before.

"When did you and Kato become such a good relationship?" Eriri looked back and forth between the two of them curiously.

"Mei, can I tell you about your story?"

"no problem."

With Kato Megumi's consent, Jiang Zao briefly explained how he would solve the problem of Kato Megumi's weak presence by making her more conspicuous.

"I was right, wasn't I? Eriri noticed you right away."

"Yeah." Kato Megumi nodded without showing any emotion and walked back to her seat.

Strange, shouldn’t she be happy that the method worked? Why does she look a little angry?

Jiang Zao looked at Kato Megumi and found that she was wearing a pink bow hairpin on her head.

It turns out that I didn't notice this change in her...

Jiang Zao: "Hui, hairpin, very cute."

Kato Megumi: "Thank you, "^o^""

Since you’ve sent emojis, you must be no longer angry, right?

Among the girls, the one whose emotional changes are the most difficult to predict is Kato Megumi, and Jiang Zao cannot guarantee that he can guess what her mood is at the moment.

Kasumigaoka Utaha witnessed with her own eyes that the relationship between Kato Megumi, Eriri and Jiang Zao suddenly took a big step forward. She secretly sighed in her heart that he was indeed a scumbag who was able to build good relationships with girls so quickly.

Jiang Zao-san, no, Renzha-kun, and Eriri's relationship has improved, probably because he helped her complete the book. According to the news on the Internet, it seems that "Kashiwagi Eri"'s book this time is exceptionally outstanding, and even the plot problems that have been criticized have been greatly improved, and the impact of the pictures is also much stronger.

These changes should...definitely be made by the scumbag. There is no doubt that the author named "Zao" is him. As expected of me, I have long seen his talent in writing. Unfortunately, he is a scumbag.

"A-choo!" Jiang Zao rubbed his itchy nose, completely unaware that Kasumigaoka Utaha was calling him "scumbag" in her heart.

The girls who walked into the classroom one after another looked at Eriri with surprise, who was chatting happily with Jiang Zao. After spending some time together, they all realized that Eriri was not a fake tsundere like Matsushima Mitsuru, but a 100% pure tsundere. She could actually chat with Jiang Zao openly. What happened in the past few days must be more than just helping.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't suppress her curiosity and took the initiative to send a message to Eriri after class.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Sawamura-san, I heard that your book was a huge success and it has become quite a hot topic on the Internet."

Ying Lili: "Hehe, now you know how powerful I am, why don't you give me your autograph quickly."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "So Kashiwagi Eri-sensei wants the autograph of a popular author like me so badly. Why don't you just tell me how much you want it?"

Eriri: "Popular author? An annoying author!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "You just asked Jiang Zao for help, so the book sold well this time. Don't take other people's abilities as your own."

Ying Lili: "Do I need you to remind me of this? I know very well. What else do you want to talk to me about? Are you just here to quarrel with me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I'm just curious, what on earth did Jiang Zao do in these four days to make the relationship between you two become so good."

Ying Lili: "Why, you also want to have a good relationship with Jiang Zao?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Why don't you try to guess?"

Eriri: "Tsk, you're so mysterious. I don't want to talk too much with a scheming girl like you..."

After their relationship eased, as old rivals who knew each other well, there was no need to hide something of this magnitude. Ying Lili roughly recounted what had happened in the past few days. She deliberately omitted those things that made her embarrassed, such as being rejected by Jiang Zao to learn painting and being carried to bed by him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: “So that’s how it is.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked herself, if she were in the same situation as Eriri and was helped by Jiang Zao without reservation, she would probably have the same attitude towards Jiang Zao as she did.

After all, Sawamura and I are alumni twice. Out of concern for alumni from the same school, I should remind her to stay away from that scumbag and not let him harm her.

It would definitely not work to directly say that Jiang Zao is a cheating scumbag, so Kasumigaoka Utaha can only choose a more euphemistic statement.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Sawamura-san, I have to remind you that it is a good thing to have a friend who helps you, but don't forget that he has a girlfriend. You and Jiang Zao-san are a little too close, don't let her think you are trying to poach her."

Ying Lili: "Stop talking nonsense. Of course I know about this kind of thing."

Is my interaction with Jiang Zao very close?

Ying Lili felt that she was just simply talking to him about animation, which was no different from before. The only difference was that before it was Jiang Zao who talked to her, but now she took the initiative to find Jiang Zao.

But since Kasumigaoka Utaha said so, it means that other people may think the situation is similar. I should keep a distance from Jiang Zao and not let Xiaoling misunderstand me.

Chapter 129: Touching is Pleasure

"I have something to inform you. There will be a mock exam in a few days. Please study hard."

"Eh!? Doesn't the exam date coincide with the Wutian High School Cultural Festival? How could this happen?!"

"Chizuru He, can't we postpone it for a few days?"

"no!"

"Brother, use your invincible cooking skills to think of a solution!"

"Sorry, Shicai, I have to go back to help. You don't have to take the test, so just focus on studying."

"No~I want~ah~"

Jiang Zao left Mihama Academy and headed to Muten High School under the envious gazes of some girls.

The class opened a maid cafe, which did not require complicated decoration like a haunted house. Jiang Zao did not have much to do when he returned to Wutian High School. Just when he was preparing to enjoy the day, the class monitor came to him.

"Jiang Zao-san, can you go and persuade Goto-san?"

"Hmm? Monitor, what's wrong?"
