"Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious." Zhang Yang's expression was as serious as if he were presenting an academic paper. "My life goal is to build a harem, what's wrong with that?"

"This is a huge problem!"

Just then, a voice came from the edge of the crowd: "Hayasaka! Your boyfriend said he wants to start a harem!"

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Two girls grabbed Hayasaka Ai's arms and pushed her in front of Zhang Yang.

"Hayasaka, this guy just said he wanted to start a harem, aren't you going to say something?" Subaru Suruga, one of Hayasaka Ai's best friends, crossed his arms.

Hayasaka Ai was pushed in front of Zhang Yang's table. She looked down at Zhang Yang, remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

“I knew it all along…” Her voice trembled slightly, “How could he possibly love only me, a girl like me… I was just a passerby in his life…”

The entire classroom fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Yang was also stunned.

This show just started out of nowhere?

“But I don’t regret it!” Hayasaka Ai suddenly raised her head, her blue eyes glistening with tears. “Even if he only sees me as a member of his harem, I’m willing to stay by his side because I really love him!”

As she spoke, she squeezed out two tears.

The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became heavy.

Several girls were already feeling sorry for him: "He's so pitiful..."

"Zhang Yang has gone too far..."

"Having a girlfriend but still wanting to have a harem..."

Zhang Yang: "..."

He is now certain of one thing.

Hayasaka Ai's acting skills were honed under the tutelage of the Shinomiya family.

The tears came so easily, the emotions were spot-on, the lines were moving, and even details like the slight redness on the tip of the nose when crying were captured.

His entire being is a performance.

Subaru Suruga couldn't help but shout, "Zhang Yang, you bastard! Listen to what Hayasaka is saying!"

Hinokawa Misuzu chimed in, "If you don't treat Hayasaka well, we won't let you off the hook!"

Zhang Yang tilted his head: "How do you want me to treat her well?"

"Of course, you should only be good to her!"

Zhang Yang sighed deeply, his expression turning serious: "Do you think I want this?"

He glanced around at his classmates, his tone tinged with helplessness and seriousness: "Under the influence of Japanese culture, reading harem light novels and watching anime every day, I've been subtly influenced."

"This is all the fault of Japan's cultural industry."

“If you Japanese didn’t dare to promote left-wing ideas like you did in the last century, and instead just focused on producing light novels, I wouldn’t have become like this.”

The classroom fell silent again.

Subaru Suruga couldn't help but retort, "Light novels and anime are all fake! How could you possibly have a harem in real life!"

Someone chimed in, "That's right, Chinese qigong and such are all fake, just something made up in TV dramas. There's no such thing as superpowers in real life."

Some people said, "It's impossible to have a harem in modern society, and the law doesn't allow it either."

Zhang Yang nodded seriously: "You're right, the world is material, and things like 'lightness skill' simply don't exist."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up from his seat and walked to the window.

The classroom is on the second floor.

He pushed open the window and jumped out.

"Zhang Yang!"

Everyone gasped and rushed to the window, only to see Zhang Yang standing steadily in mid-air.

He took a step.

It felt like walking on solid ground, even though it was air beneath my feet.

dong dong dong-

He walked in the air with a leisurely pace, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he were taking a stroll in his own living room.

After walking about a hundred meters away, he turned around, facing the window, and revealed a wicked smile.

"But matter has more than one form."

After saying that, he took another step and disappeared into the air.

Only one window remained, crowded with heads, all staring in disbelief in the direction he had disappeared.

The classroom was silent for a full five seconds.

Then it exploded.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"What did I just see?!"

"He's walking in the sky?!"

"Isn't this the second floor!"

Suruga Subaru's mouth dropped open, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter, "This guy... really knows ki?"

Hinokami Mitsuzu said, "I don't think the problem is ki gong... he's actually considering the possibility of having a harem..."

Hayasaka Ai stood at the back of the crowd, wiping away the tears she had just squeezed out.

That bastard.

He just ran away like that, leaving her with a complete mess.

……

Zhang Yang landed on a tree in the northwest corner of the campus.

The leaves were still very thick, obscuring his figure.

He jumped down from the tree branch and landed on a secluded path.

After walking a few steps, I saw two people standing not far ahead.

One male and one female.

The girl had her back to him, her long pink hair gleaming softly in the afternoon sunlight. It was tied into a bun, with a few strands hanging down beside her ears, and the hem of her school uniform skirt swayed slightly in the wind.

Zian Yan.

A boy stood opposite her, wearing the boys' uniform of Shuchiin Academy. He was fairly good-looking, but his expression at that moment was hard to describe.

Resentment? Disappointment? Or something else entirely?

The boy turned away so that Zian Yan wouldn't see his disheveled state, and walked away with his head down.

His steps were heavy, as if each step was crushing something.

Zhang Yang leaned against the trunk of a ginkgo tree by the roadside, his hands in his pockets, watching this scene.

Zian Yan stood there, watching the boy's departing figure, and sighed softly.

She turned around and saw Zhang Yang.

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other for a moment.

Zi'an Yan blinked her pink eyes, a slightly embarrassed smile appearing on her face: "You... heard everything?"

"I heard some of it," Zhang Yang honestly admitted. "You rejected him."

"Ah."

"why?"

Zian Yan lowered her head, her gaze falling on her toes: "Actually... I originally wanted to agree."

"Mori-kun is a very good person, gentle and considerate, and we have a lot in common. Our friends also think we are a good match. I think I would be very happy if I were with him."

"But just as I was about to speak, I don't know why, I suddenly refused."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I think it must be because of me."

Zian Yan raised her head and did not deny it: "...Perhaps."

Just then, a clear female voice came from the side: "Yan!"

They both turned their heads at the same time.

A short-haired girl with a gentle demeanor walked quickly towards them, her expression a mixture of reproach and incomprehension: "Yanzi, why did you reject Sen-kun?"

“Sarina…how could you…”

“I heard Mori-kun is going to confess to you here, so I came to see.” Sarina’s gaze shifted from Koyasu Tsubame’s face to Zhang Yang, her brows furrowing even more. “Is it because of him? This transfer student?”

Zian Yan did not speak.

Zhang Yang vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned that Zi An Yan had a very tragic love story.

Her former lover cheated on her with her best friend, which led her to have a pessimistic view of relationships.

Zhang Yang's gaze lingered on Sarina's face for a moment.

"So that's how it is."

He walked up to Zian Yan, reached out, and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Zian Yan's body suddenly stiffened.

"What...what are you doing?"

“I’m her boyfriend.” Zhang Yang looked at Sarina and said calmly, “So it’s normal for her to reject that Mori-kun, since she’s already with me.”

Zi'an Yan's eyes widened, and her face flushed red instantly: "Zhang Yang! What are you saying..."

Sarina was stunned: "Boyfriend? Swallow, you have a boyfriend?"

Zi An Yan wanted to explain, but Zhang Yang tightened his grip on her waist slightly, stopping her from speaking.

“Yes, my boyfriend.” Zhang Yang’s voice was steady and strong. “So I’m going to tell that Sen-kun that he’s late and that the girl is already taken. If he’s not happy about it, he can come to me.”

Sari looked at them, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Zhang Yang's face and Zi An Yan's flushed cheeks.

"I see. Congratulations, Yanzi."

"Sarina..."

“It’s a good thing that you’ve found someone you like,” Sarina said gently. “I won’t bother you any longer.”

After saying that, she turned and walked away, her steps becoming lighter and quicker.

After a while, Zi'an Yan whispered, "Zhang Yang, can you let go now?"

"I heard that calling someone by their first name is a sign of intimacy in Japan. If you call me by my first name directly, I can let go of you."

"Oh dear, how could this happen?"

"I get jealous too. I was going to agree, but I guess I'll just go and beat that kid up."

"..."

Zian Yan was speechless for a moment, then chuckled: "Okay, thank you for getting me out of that situation, Ayang."

Zhang Yang was taken aback and looked down at Zi An Yan's face.

Zian Yan became nervous instead: "Did I call him the wrong name? But my Chinese teacher said that we usually don't call him Yang Jun, but A Yang."

Zhang Yang released his hand from her waist: "No, I just think that you really are a senior."
