Lin Mu smiled and nodded, then picked up his cup and drank.

Katsura Kotonoha blushed slightly.

The drink was taken from the refrigerator; she didn't mix it herself.

When Mom comes back next time, maybe I can ask her for advice on that topic.

Before we knew it, an hour had passed.

Gui Xin, who had been squirming and swaying her slender legs in Lin Mu's lap to express her joy, had fallen asleep.

Lin Mu could only gently hold her, let her lie in bed, and cover her lower abdomen with the blanket.

As soon as she turned around, she met Katsura Kotonoha's gentle gaze.

Lin Mu smiled, turned around and walked out of Gui Xin's room.

Sitting on the sofa, Katsura Kotonoha scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, Mu-kun, isn't Kokoro-chan being a bit clingy? She's been bothering you for so long."

Lin Mu smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, Kokoro is so cute, isn't she? Kotoha should cherish such a cute little sister."

"But it seems like she hasn't finished eating yet. Is it okay for her to go to sleep now?"

"Don't worry, she'll get up and cook in a bit."

Katsura Kotonoha replied with a smile.

Kids have a lot of energy; they were just sleepy because they were studying so hard.

"Oh, so Kotoha hasn't thought about cooking?" Lin Mu looked at her expression with a half-smile.

Katsura Kotonoha lowered her head in embarrassment, "My cooking isn't as good as Kokoro's."

Actually, she's terrible at cooking; you could say she's completely bad at it.

But I'm too embarrassed to say it.

Girls are often embarrassed to expose their weaknesses in front of people they care about.

Lin Mu realized that the topic of cooking was off-limits, so she immediately changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, does Kotoha know our school's student council president?"

"Hey? Your school's student council president?"

"Yes, her name is Katsura Hinagiku, the same surname as you, Kotoha. I wonder if you two are related?"

Lin Mu was very curious about this.

This is a world that blends various anime and manga, where Shiina Mahiru becomes connected with Shiina Mafuyu and Shiina Mika, becoming half-sisters.

Could Katsura Kotonoha also be related to Katsura Hinagiku?

Faced with Lin Mu's question, Katsura Kotonoha covered her mouth in surprise.

"You must be talking about my cousin. We haven't seen her since her parents fled abroad because they couldn't pay their debts."

"I never expected that she would still be at your school and even become the student council president. That's amazing, unlike me... just an ordinary person."

"You're not ordinary either. You're very beautiful and have a great figure, which makes you special! Don't be so self-deprecating, Kotoha. It will break the hearts of those who care about you."

"Um... I'm sorry, even with such praise, I still don't have much confidence."

Katsura Kotonoha glanced at him with a blush on her face, then immediately lowered her head again.

Lin Mu moved closer and slowly reached out to embrace her slender waist.

Katsura Kotonoha trembled slightly, as if she had been frightened.

Her fear of men started acting up again.

Lin Mu made no other move, but simply gazed at her gently.

"Will you hate it when I hug you like this?"

"Um... I... I don't dislike it, it's just... I'm a little uncomfortable, Mu Jun... I often face men's naked, burning gazes, and I instinctively feel fear towards men... I don't dislike you."

Lin Mu smiled slightly and gently stroked her soft, long hair.

"It's okay, we'll take it slow."

With his arm around her waist and his hand stroking her head, Katsura Kotonoha felt her heart race and her cheeks burn.

I subconsciously became nervous.

But looking into his gentle eyes, she felt inexplicably at ease.

So she nodded gently, quietly enjoying the warmth of the moment.

In fact, the fact that the girl invited Lin Mu to her home was itself a form of recognition of him.

Therefore, our current closeness is only natural.

"Kotoha, tell me more about President Katsura Hinagiku."

Suddenly, he uttered these words.

Katsura Kotonoha pouted slightly, but she still slowly spoke up about what she knew.

It turns out that Katsura Hinagiku, as the student council president, has an older sister named Katsura Yukiji.

Katsura Hinagiku's parents took out a huge loan, and then the couple abandoned Katsura Hinagiku and Katsura Yukiro and ran away.

In this situation, the two sisters, being destitute and alone, would very likely be taken away by loan sharks and forced into prostitution to pay off their debts.

But at this time, Kotoha's maternal grandfather took the two sisters back home, repaid part of the loan, and prevented the yakuza from coming to take the two sisters away.

Kotoha didn't know what happened after that.

Because we haven't been in touch for too long.

Her mother, Katsura Manami, was a workaholic career woman who often traveled for work and rarely took her and Katsura Shin to visit their maternal grandfather, so she had no idea that Katsura Hinagiku had become the student council president.

The fact that Katsura Hinagiku could become the student council president at a school with an extremely high deviation rate, and wield some of the school's power, demonstrates her outstanding abilities.

This made Lin Mu somewhat envious; if he could form a contract with Katsura Hinagiku, his abilities would definitely improve significantly.

Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to meet again since we last met on the hill behind the school.

Perhaps he should be more proactive, but with so many girls around him, being a master of time management is really not easy.

"Hey, Mu Jun, do you like Daisy Sister 023? Otherwise, why are you asking me about her?"

Katsura Kotonoha suddenly asked in a muffled voice, her expression somewhat tense.

Lin Mu smiled and stroked her long hair, replying, "I just think that if Daisy-senpai could rise to become the student council president despite coming from a family like that, Kotoha certainly won't be any less capable."

"Hmm... then I'm sure I'll have to disappoint you. You know my personality; I can't possibly interact with strangers like Daisy-nee, let alone the student council president."

"Uh, I'm not saying this to discourage you, Kotoha. You don't need to become a student council president like Hinagiku-senpai. Kotoha just needs to be herself."

"I heard you say last time that you've been practicing kendo. How about I get a chance to see it for myself?"

"it is good."

Katsura Kotonoha responded softly, finding his words of comfort very comforting.

She was originally a gentle person, and she wouldn't have argued with people so easily if it weren't for the fact that Kanroji Nanami and the others went too far.

After staying for a while, Lin Mu took his leave.

Although Katsura Kotonoha was very reluctant, she had no choice but to get up and watch him leave.

But tomorrow, after Kanroji Nanami and others publicly apologize, her situation may change.

However, she still wanted to transfer schools because she couldn't change the way other students looked at her in a short time.

Moreover, she had no friends at Shinya Academy and nothing to miss.

Chapter 184: Mahiru: That womanizer!

Standing at the door until Lin Mu's figure disappeared from sight, Katsura Kotonoha slowly returned home.

Everything that happened today was very special to her.

First, the people who had been spreading rumors about her all along came forward and exposed themselves. Regardless of what those bad women were forced to apologize for, at least she received their repentant apologies.

Another thing is that she made a special friend.

Or rather, boyfriend?

Katsura Kotonoha thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of having someone to rely on.

Now that Lin Mu is gone, she suddenly feels empty inside.

Thinking of how he had just held her slender waist, she could almost still feel the warmth around it.

"Has Onii-chan left?"

As soon as she returned to the living room, a petite little girl jumped out and asked a question that startled Katsura Kotonoha.

Patting her ample chest, Katsura Kotonoha glared at her younger sister with a hint of annoyance.

"Kokoro-chan, what are you doing! You suddenly jumped out and startled me. And weren't you asleep?"

Hearing this, Guixin couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Idiot sister, how can you be alone with your older brother if I don't fall asleep?"

"If I hadn't been pestering Onii-chan and acting cute, you probably would have just sat there awkwardly like a wooden doll!"

"That won't do. If you don't take the initiative, a handsome and gentle guy like him will be snatched away by other women."

The little girl spoke logically and persuasively, which surprised Katsura Kotonoha. Although she didn't understand why her younger sister knew so much, her sister's words still caught her attention.

"Hmm... I'm not that stupid... Mu Jun just praised me for being excellent, and he also said I was pretty before."

She muttered to herself, her face flushed, while Gui Xin remained speechless.

"Silly sister, there are plenty of beautiful women in this world, why does he have to choose your silly sister?"

"This……"

"Okay, listen to me, you won't go wrong. I can call him and pester him to tutor me, then you'll have a reason to invite him over, right?"

"Uh...Are you sure it's not because you don't want to do your homework, Kokoro-chan?"

Katsura Kotonoha looked at her quirky younger sister with some suspicion.

"How could that be? Although I like playing on my phone, I haven't neglected my studies. I'm in the top three of my grade, I already know how to do those problems!"

Isn't she trying to act cute towards that handsome and gentle older brother? Otherwise, why would she sit on his lap and deliberately wiggle around?

At this time, Katsura Kotonoha did not realize that her biggest rival was actually her younger sister.

But it's not a big problem.

Because Gui Xin really likes her older sister, she won't compete with her for anything; instead, she'll offer her help.

Of course, if her older sister couldn't do it, Gui Xin would have no choice but to bravely step in.

Anyway, such a handsome and gentle man is not to be missed.

If Lin Mu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely marvel again at how precocious she was despite her young age.

She's so young, yet she already knows how to pick out outstanding boys.

However, Gui Xin didn't really want to know that much.

But that's just how things are at home.

My father is practically nonexistent, and my mother has never mentioned him; she's always busy with work and traveling for business.

While my older sister appears mature, she's actually as soft and yielding as dough, lacking any independent thought.

Even though she could tell her sister was under a lot of pressure, she couldn't comfort her.

She doesn't go to the same school as her sister, so she can't help with anything there.

Now, Gui Xin has finally found someone who has earned the trust of her introverted older sister, and he's a handsome man she liked at first sight. Naturally, she can't let her sister miss out on such a man.

For the sake of her family and her sister's happiness, Gui Xin felt that she, a young girl, had really worried herself sick.

"Hey, sister, tell Xinjiang how you and Brother Lin Mu met!"

The precocious Gui Xin began to inquire about Lin Mu.

Katsura Kotonoha lacked her own opinions, and when her sister asked, she didn't hide anything and told her how they met.
