In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

Hayasaka snatched the note without hesitation and quickly scanned it, finding that the address and house number matched exactly. She glared at Kozo and said unhappily, "Wait here, don't leave." Then, she turned aside and called to confirm.

Kozo just quietly watched Hayasaka's respectful look while she was making the phone call.

"Yes... yes, I understand. I will be careful." Hayasaka responded cautiously to the order on the other end of the phone.

"You change your expression so quickly." Xiao San couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

However, these words were immediately caught by Hayasaka, who had a keen hearing. She turned her head sharply and glared at Kozo fiercely, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

After a while, Hayasaka's call finally ended.

She walked over with steady steps, "Then, from now on, let's start with our relationship as lovers."

"Huh?" Xiao San stood there in a daze.

Hayasaka took out the bank card from his pocket expressionlessly and handed it to Kozo, "Keep it safe and don't lose it again. It's very easy for the Shinomiya family to crush your family."

Kozo took the bank card, but still didn't react before Hayasaka pulled him to sit on a chair.

Then, Hayasaka asked the waiter to bring the food.

The food was served. Hayasaka put her arm around Kozo's neck and smiled affectionately, quickly snapping a few selfies with her phone. Then... she stared at the photos on her phone and nodded with satisfaction. "Yeah, that should do the trick."

"That? Miss Hasaka?" Xiaosan asked cautiously.

"Just call me by my real name outside." Hayasaka put away her phone and said calmly, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Xiao San asked with some trepidation, "Are you really willing to date me?"

"Of course I don't want to," Hayasaka answered without hesitation, her face devoid of any hesitation or concealment. She sighed softly and said helplessly, "But this is work, there's nothing I can do about it. Anyway... let's just maintain our relationship at that school."

"So it's just for show?" Xiaosan continued to ask.

Hayasaka nodded slightly, "I can understand that." She had already folded her bag and was preparing to leave.

"But..." Xiaosan hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Hayasaka stopped, turned her head and looked at him sharply.

"Actually..." Xiao San scratched his cheek embarrassedly and whispered, "I want to date other girls."

If looks could kill, Hayasaka's rage-filled gaze would have cut him into pieces countless times. 'This person is really... infuriating.'

Hayasaka took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, which had nearly spiraled out of control. She tried to keep her voice calm as she spoke, "This is your business. As long as it doesn't affect my work and doesn't cause me any unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Xiaosan standing there in a daze.

Tokyo Metropolitan Koudou Ikusei High School, Class D, First Year. After the third period ended in the afternoon, the teacher left and the other students dispersed... some went back to their dormitories, some went out to play, and some participated in club activities. Even after everyone had left, Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka lingered in the classroom.

Horikita glanced at the empty seat of Yukinoshita Kozo behind him and frowned slightly, "That guy really can do it."

"So, what did he say to you at that time? Did he offer you conditions that you were unwilling to accept?" Ling Xiaolu said with a calm expression and a peaceful tone.

Horikita remained silent, her lips tightly pursed.

"If this continues, Class D's score this month will probably be 0." Ayanokouji said calmly.

Horikita hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, "He wanted all my personal points, saying that only then would he accept my employment."

"All of them?" Ayanokouji asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.

Horikita nodded slightly.

Ayanokouji held his chin in his hand and thought deeply for a moment, "It's all for every month, right?"

"Yes." Horikita said in a low voice.

"How are you going to live like this? Everything in this school requires personal points... He doesn't want to starve you to death, does he?" Ayanokouji asked.

Horikita closed her eyes and spoke with difficulty, "He told me to borrow money, get relief supplies, or... beg for alms."

"So what's his reward?" Ayanokouji asked again.

Horikita opened her eyes and replied calmly, "He will assist me with the goal of promoting Class D to Class A."

"You mean Yukinoshita will listen to you, right? This is actually an employment relationship. That way, no one would dare to become your enemy. But..." Ayanokouji observed Horikita's expression sharply, "It seems you don't want to."

"How could I possibly agree to such an outrageous request?" Horikita retorted. She stood up and began packing her schoolbag.

"If that's all you're asking, I'd agree to it." Ayanokouji said lightly. At the same time, he casually glanced in the direction of the corridor and saw a yellow ponytail quietly showing beside the window.

Ayanokouji continued, "Even if Class D performs well this month, they still won't gain many class points...and their individual points each month are just as pitiful. If he earns 10,000 or 20,000 yen in points per month, it's not a bad deal. Outside, a driver could earn more than that with just a few trips."

"You mean..." Horikita frowned, waiting for his next words.

"If it were me, I would agree without hesitation. I don't have much money anyway, so I can borrow money from others or get free relief supplies. If I regret it, I can cancel the agreement later." Ayanokouji's tone was calm.

In the corridor, Karuizawa Hui listened to all this...

Chapter 42: 041 Love (Part ): Reaching an agreement with Karuizawa Megumi and severely humiliating Horikita Suzune

In Karuizawa Megumi's dorm room, she stood in the bathroom, warm water gushing from the showerhead. The glistening water droplets first landed on her hair, slowly sliding down her smooth strands, gradually soaking her hair and clinging to her back and cheeks... A few drops of water still clung to the ends of her hair, reflecting the faint light in the bathroom.

The water then flowed over her fair skin, leaving moist traces on her smooth forehead and small nose tip, then flowed down along her cheeks, passed her delicate collarbone, paused briefly in the depression of the collarbone, and continued to slide down... sliding over her shoulders, chest, back, waist and hips, thighs, and finally sinking between her sweet and delicious round toes.

This happened two days ago. Karuizawa Megumi and Hirata Yosuke had a heated argument... or should I say an argument? Hirata Yosuke had noticed that Karuizawa Megumi had been a bit overbearing, so he came to talk her out of it, saying that other girls had reported this to him.

Hirata hoped Karuizawa would change these things, be more restrained, and not be so aggressive with everyone. Hirata's tone, wording, and attitude were all impeccable, but...Karuizawa was completely unimpressed.

"Huh? What does this have to do with me? Anyway...anyway, I have no problem. So why are you standing on their side?" Karuizawa crossed his arms and said with a sullen look on his face.

Hirata watched Karuizawa leave with a sigh, his eyes filled with worry and helplessness. Being a leader isn't easy.

Back to the present. Karuizawa's body trembled slightly, her slender fingers clinging tightly to the cold bathroom wall. Her lips trembled slightly, "Why, why don't you stand by me? We agreed."

Drops of water slid down her soaked hair, dripping down her cheeks, a mixture of liquid that was unclear whether it was water or tears, and dripping onto the floor. Her voice echoed in the small bathroom space. The wall she was leaning against was her only support at this moment... If it weren't for this cold wall, she might have collapsed on the wet floor.

After a long time, Karuizawa opened the bathroom door and came out with a damp sweat on her body. She wiped her hair casually with a towel, and water droplets were still on the ends of her hair.

She walked into the living room in her slippers and flipped on the TV remote. As the screen lit up, the news anchor's serious voice rang out: "Today, there have been frequent incidents of monster attacks in Tokyo. Citizens, please exercise caution and take protective measures when going out." The screen flashed with the devastating aftermath of monster attacks, leaving the streets in ruins.

Karuizawa's originally dazed expression suddenly became clearer, her eyes fixed on the TV screen, "Monster?" Her hands unconsciously grasped the towel.

The next morning, in the classroom of Class D of Grade 1, sunlight shone through the windows in the corridor onto the ground. Xiao San's figure appeared at the door of the classroom again... Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, it instantly broke the original atmosphere.

He walked in, and although he didn't say a word, the invisible aura he carried made many people unconsciously glance in his direction.

Horikita, whose eyes were focused on the book, glanced at Kozo. "Here he comes."

There were several girls in the back row who were chatting with other girls. Her eyes inadvertently fell on him across the crowd.

Ayanokouji, Kogendera, Hirata, Sudo... and many others, they were all paying attention to this person.

At noon, the cafeteria was filled with the aroma of food and the noisy voices of people.

Horikita, holding her plate, came to sit at the table where Ayanokouji was sitting, her eyes still darting around.

"Don't look for her anymore. Yukinoshita hasn't appeared in the cafeteria since school started." Ayanokouji sighed softly and spoke slowly.

When Horikita heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, but he still glanced around the cafeteria without giving up, and then slowly returned his gaze to his own plate.

"You're right. But...you seem to know a lot about Yukinoshita's daily habits." Horikita looked at Ayanokouji with a probing look in her eyes, as if she wanted to find the answer from his face.

"He's always been a popular figure, it's nothing strange." Ayanokouji didn't look at Horikita, but continued to eat the food on his plate slowly. He raised his eyes slightly, then quickly lowered them again, his expression unchanged. "You'd better act quickly, or someone will get there first."

"Get ahead?" Horikita's eyes were fixed on Ayanokouji.

After finishing his meal, Ayanokouji put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He looked up at Horikita, his expression as calm as ever. "Last time, Kushida-san said someone saw the girls from Class B talking to Yukinoshita-san. So, you're really slow."

Horikita fell silent, her expression becoming serious as she fell into deep thought.

Just as Ayanokouji was about to get up and leave, Horikita suddenly said, "Why didn't you come to the last swimming class?"

"I'm not feeling well. Besides, I can't swim and I hate water," Ling Xiaolu said expressionlessly. It seemed like a random excuse.

Just when Horikita was about to ask further questions, a sweet girl's voice rang out.

"Horikita-san, can I sit here?"

Horikita Suzune paused, her gaze, originally fixed on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, instantly shifting to the direction of the voice. Kushida Kikyo's delicate face came into view, a gentle smile on her lips, a few strands of hair swaying gently around her cheeks, and she exuded a friendly charm. She held the food tray in both hands, leaning forward slightly, as if awaiting Horikita's response, like a harmless little angel.

Meanwhile, in the park, Karuizawa Megumi was sitting on a bench... She had been sitting there for quite some time, and her stomach was starting to growl a little.

"Really, Maya is not lying to me, is she? Can I really wait for him here?" Karuizawa frowned and muttered complaints.

At this moment, footsteps came from afar, and Karuizawa Kei became alert instantly. She looked anxiously in the direction of the sound, only to see Yukinoshita Takashige walking towards her steadily, his figure gradually becoming clearer under the sunlight.

'Here it comes,' Karuizawa thought silently.

Yukinoshita Kozo's figure moved closer and closer to Karuizawa Megumi's vision... Every step closer seemed to carry an invisible pressure. Karuizawa Megumi felt as if her body was nailed to the chair, unable to move an inch.

When Takashi's eyes glanced at Karuizawa, Karuizawa felt a chill surge from the bottom of his heart... His body instinctively dodged, his head lowered slightly, and his eyes looked away. "How scary."

In Karuizawa Kei's eyes, Yukinoshita Kozo is like a terrible demon, and his gaze can cause harm to people.

However, the real Xiao San...

"Is anyone here? I remember she seemed to be from my class... Never mind, since someone is here, let's go. It doesn't look like Miss Hayasaka will come. I'll remind Miss Hayasaka later and suggest that she move to another place." This was what Kozo was thinking.

Takashi San walked step by step like this... Until Takashi San slowly passed in front of her, she seemed to have her mouth sealed and never opened her mouth.

Finally, Karuizawa seemed to have exhausted all his strength, mustered up great courage, and spoke with a slightly trembling voice, "Yuki... Yukinoshita-san, please wait a moment, I have something important to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao San stopped and slowly turned to look at her with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

There was no turning back for Karuizawa. Due to the huge expenses of the first month, she had almost used up all of her personal points, and now she had to borrow from friends to support her school life. On the other hand, she also had this thought: "I need a new parasite."

Karuizawa took a deep breath, stood up, and faced him bravely, "Yukinoshita-san! I hope to hire you."

"Hire me?" Xiaosan was a little confused.

Karuizawa didn't dare to look him in the eye. He lowered his head and quickly told Kozo everything he had heard from the conversation between Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka yesterday.

In Karuizawa's eyes, Yukinoshita was incredibly powerful. If Hirata was the warm sunshine, illuminating everyone equally, Yukinoshita was the glacier of death. Yukinoshita rejected everyone, and no one dared approach him. His aloof personality at least kept him from spreading his secrets... His strength was such that no one dared to provoke him, and at least he wouldn't lose a fight. Unlike Hirata, he didn't shy away from direct confrontation.

"...So, I'll give you all the personal points I earn every month, as long as... as long as you can protect me." She closed her eyes tightly, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, anxiously awaiting the other party's answer. "Even if I'm rejected, that's to be expected. If I succeed, no one can hurt me."

Xiao San held his chin, looked the other person up and down, and thought silently for a long time before he slowly said: "Okay, the contract is established."

Karuizawa suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the other party, her face full of disbelief. She didn't expect that the other party would agree so easily.

Next, Karuizawa unhesitatingly transferred all of her personal points to Kozo, but… there were only a few thousand points in total. With 1 point equal to 1 yen, and a mere 7680 points (some of which were borrowed), Kozo doubted she would survive much longer.

Looking at the pitifully small number of points, Xiao San couldn't help but complain, "You really are a good calculator."

Although it was just a complaint, to Karuizawa it sounded as terrifying as "the devil's dissatisfaction."

"You...you have already agreed, you can't go back on your word." Karuizawa pretended to be calm and said in a tough tone.

"Do you have any audio or video recordings?" Xiao San asked back with his arms folded across his chest and a sharp look in his eyes.

Karuizawa shook his head in panic.

"Is there a contract or paper document?" Xiaosan raised his eyebrows and asked again.

Karuizawa lowered his head even lower and shook it again.

That's right, even if Xiao San wanted to cancel the agreement, she had no countermeasures at all. At most, Xiao San would just have to return the points she gave him.

Xiaosan sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's meet here after school this afternoon and I'll make the final confirmation with you. I have other things to do now." After saying that, he turned and left.

Karuizawa looked at Takashi's departing figure, her eyes filled with surprise and joy. At this moment, she couldn't believe that things were going so smoothly.

During the afternoon class, Karuizawa was completely distracted, completely lost in thought. Her stomach kept growling, and hunger was overwhelming her. She had eaten very little in the morning and nothing at lunch.

Karuizawa would occasionally glance at Takashi's empty seat, wondering, "What on earth does this guy do when he's always skipping classes?"

The three classes seemed to Karuizawa Megumi to be incredibly long, but finally, school was over. Sato Maya came over immediately to ask her to go shopping as usual.

"......Even though I don't have any money in my pocket, it's nice to go shopping." Sato said with anticipation.

"Next time. I'm not in good shape today." Karuizawa said tiredly.

Karuizawa Megumi couldn't wait to jog to the park, rushing towards the place where she had agreed to meet Yukinoshita Kozo. But... just as she was about to meet him, she faintly heard voices. Listening carefully, she realized it was the voices of Horikita Suzune and Yukinoshita Kozo.

Next to the bench, Horikita Suzune questioned Yukinoshita Kozo with an angry look on her face.

"Why choose her? I should have more points. As long as we reach an agreement, as long as you don't skip classes, I will give you the points every month." Horikita frowned and continued, "If you are worried about breaking the contract, I will find a way to compensate Karuizawa-san later."

Xiao San looked at her calmly and said slowly, "No need. I have already chosen her."

"Why?" Horikita was puzzled.

"Because I think Karuizawa is better than you, and she is more interesting than you." Xiaosan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
