"Hmph, didn't you bring people too?" Hinata Kotone snorted coldly, staring at Shimazu He and the other person behind Riki with dissatisfaction.

Shimazu Yoshimasa looked at the makeup of the girls opposite him with a curious expression, nodded, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Kyoko Hanayama was startled. How could anyone dare to go out looking like this? It was terrifying to see someone with such a seductive makeup. Besides, no matter what, it was impossible to look like this...

What a group of exceptionally talented girls!

"Since you've brought people along, you wouldn't mind if they came together, would you?"

Li Zhu hadn't forgotten today's plan, so she tried asking.

"Hmph, fine, let's go together then!"

"Hurry up and lead the way," Li Zhu waved her hand, casually instructing.

"you!"

I get angry every time I see this guy with that expression, and he talks in a really annoying way.

I really want to beat him up.

Hinata Kotone stomped her foot and turned to walk away in a huff.

That's right, that's how the female lead would react to me. It would be even better if she could stay away from me.

Li Zhu thought to herself with satisfaction, "I've already acted so annoyingly, there shouldn't be any more accidents like the one with the little nobody."

Her friends hurriedly followed, glancing back at Li Zhu as they went.

Who is this handsome young man who can make Sister Qinyin throw a tantrum like a little girl?

Some were even secretly glancing at Shimazuga's delicate face.

She couldn't help but swoon to herself, thinking how incredibly handsome the man in the suit behind her was. How could there be a man more beautiful than a woman in the world?

……

Chapter Fifteen: Oh my god? What's with the red-eye effect?!

Pinglong Bar in the Underground.

In one of the karaoke rooms.

There were eight people in total: Rina and her group of three, plus Hinata Kotone and her group of five. The girls chatted and laughed, getting along very well.

They've already become one big family.

Actually, not long ago, the relationship between the group was a bit strained.

This is not only the reason why Hinata Kotone is still sulking towards Riki.

Moreover, Shimazuga has resumed his usual aloof and cold demeanor in front of others.

The girls on Hinata Kotone's side were already very curious about this super handsome guy, so they were all eager to try and get to know him.

Unexpectedly, this guy's chatting skills are even more ingenious than Li Zhu's; he managed to stump the girl while they were chatting.

Everyone took turns speaking, but they all managed to kill the conversation after just a few words, making the scene quite awkward.

Li Zhu couldn't help but think, "I wish you were this straightforward with me too..."

You might ask, how come they're still laughing and talking now?

We have to thank Kyoko Hanayama for her exceptional affability and interpersonal skills.

She quickly dispelled the awkward atmosphere with just a few words, and in the end, even Hinata Kotone got along very well with Hanayama-in Kyoko.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhu was filled with emotion.

This is truly an unimaginable path.

In the original storyline, these two main characters couldn't stand each other. They would fight every time they met, and they would often exchange harsh words. Several times, they almost came to blows.

No, we've already fought it. It seems it was because of Shimazuga (Rikiki chose the wrong option once)...

However, his harem is not in turmoil; on the contrary, they get along very well, and the situation is very favorable.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

The purpose of Riki's invitation to Shimazu He today is to arrange for the male protagonist to meet the two female protagonists, to create an encounter for them, and to make their attention focus on the male protagonist, so that she can get rid of the problem once and for all.

Since it's impossible to avoid contact with the female protagonists, the strategy is to make them either ignore you or dislike you.

The plan is to get zero affection from the female lead!

……

I happened to have an appointment with Hinata Kotone on Saturday, and coincidentally, I also agreed to be Hanayama-in Kyoko's wingman and help her become Shimazuga's friend.

Li Zhu thought to herself, since Shimazuga would eventually take them all anyway, she might as well kill two birds with one stone.

However, it feels like something is wrong.

Li Zhu's plan seems to have succeeded, but it wasn't entirely successful.

The private room now seems to have been divided into two factions.

One group consisted of Kyoko Hanayama and a few others from Kotone Hinata's side, who sang together, chatted about makeup, gossip, and other girly topics, and had a great time.

The other group consisted of Li Zhu and his two grown men, who had no sense of participation whatsoever and simply sat there quietly eating and drinking the whole time.

Having just been rebuffed by Shimazuga, and being a shy girl, she didn't dare to talk to them again.

This can't go on. I can be lazy and do nothing, but he can't.

You, the main character, just stand there watching a bunch of girls in front of you, and you don't even react?

I'm so disappointed in you. How can you become the king of the harem if you keep going like this?

How can I enjoy watching the drama unfold in peace?

We must introduce a powerful stand-in to firmly capture the attention of the female protagonists!

Afterwards, Riki repeatedly signaled to Shimazuga with her eyes that he should go over and chat with them more.

As it turned out, Shimazuga misunderstood, and with a look of sudden realization, he went over excitedly.

Then he snatched the microphone from the girl's hand...

Finally, amidst the strange looks from the six girls, Riki and Shimazuga sang a duet of "Renai Circulation"...

Ugh, what a vicious cycle of love.

For a long time afterward, before Li Zhu learned the truth, he would feel a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of this song.

After singing.

Li Zhu couldn't stand the horrific atmosphere any longer, so she went out for some fresh air by herself.

A little while later, Shimazuga also came out, and he chatted with Riki for a few minutes.

"Li Zhu, you don't look well. Did something happen?"

"I'm fine, I just felt a bit stuffy in the private room, so I came out for some fresh air."

He actually wanted to create opportunities for the male and female leads; he was just like a third wheel, getting in the way.

Helping others achieve their goals is a rare form of wisdom.

I swear to God, I was absolutely not ruined by that song "Love Circulation".

Shimazuga glanced at Riki, then looked up at the WC sign above his head, and felt a little strange.

So people actually choose to ventilate outside the toilet?

My new friend, Li Zhu, is quite a strange person.

As a good friend, you should remain calm and pretend you don't know about his strange quirks.

"Oh, it's breathable, I see."

"Then what are you doing out here again?"

"I'm going to use the restroom."

"Well, okay then, I'll head back now. It's not good to leave them alone inside for so long."

"Okay, you can go back now." Shimazuga watched Riki leave, then looked around to make sure no one was there before cautiously entering the restroom.

And so, Li Zhu missed the chance to learn a certain truth.

Li Zhu first ordered a drink and sat in a corner, coldly observing the underground bar.

He was surrounded by deafening, energetic noise, and he shook his head as he watched the men and women dancing.

"They're having so much fun even in broad daylight. These young people really don't stop day and night. I guess I'm not suited for this kind of place. I'm getting old."

Ahem, please don't be so mature, you're still a high school student.

"Sigh, the excitement belongs to them, but I have nothing..."

Unconsciously, Li Zhu, sitting on the sofa, lazily recited a line from a text she had learned in school.

He felt that this statement reflected his current state of mind.

……

Finish drinking.

"It's time to go back."

Li Zhu put down her phone and cup, then got up and left.

As soon as the door opened.

I saw girls inside, fooling around and playing around without any boys around.

"Forehead……"

Li Zhu and the others exchanged glances, then the women casually tidied their disheveled hair and clothes.

The scene was very embarrassing.

"I didn't see anything."

Li Zhu turned her head away and tactfully said...

Just then, a group of people walked towards us.

There were three people in total, each with strange tattoos on their arms. They looked fierce and menacing, and seemed to have ill intentions.

Hmm? Could they be coming for us?

"Hey! Do you know any of the girls in here?"

The man in the lead was a short-haired man with a scar on his forehead, a pointed face, and what he thought was a friendly expression. His eyes were greedily and unabashedly scanning the girls in the private room as he asked.

Hyuga Kotone and the other young ladies had never seen anything like this before, and they were all too frightened to utter a sound.

Li Zhu frowned, a look of disgust flashing across her face.

This man had a sleazy, roguish look. His breath reeked of alcohol, cigarette smoke, and other unpleasant odors, making one want to frown.

"So what if we know each other?"

"How about introducing me to you guys? Just to make some friends."

He then offered her a cigarette.

"No need, they probably aren't interested." Li Zhu refused the cigarette offered to her, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

Damn, what a coincidence! Did these people come here because they smelled something? Why are they fixated on the female lead?

"Why aren't you interested? I think it's very interesting. Be smart, kid, or it'll make things unpleasant for everyone."

As he spoke, he put away his cigarette, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow meaningfully, patted Li Zhu on the shoulder, and said...

His two brothers behind him also showed terrifying expressions and stepped forward to put pressure on Li Zhu.

The three men's expressions seemed to say, "Kid, don't you dare refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, or we'll show you what the underworld is all about!"

You dare threaten me?

Just kidding, the thing I, Li Zhu, am least afraid of is threats.

Li Zhu turned around and closed the door to the private room.

He turned around, instantly revealing a fawning smile, and rubbed his hands together as he spoke.
