In a daze, Li Zhu heard a delicate shout coming from afar.

saved.

"What are you doing?!"

Just as the three were getting into the swing of things, Shimazuga finally arrived. With a sharp shout, she startled them, and they quickly stopped what they were doing.

"You, you all, how dare you do this to my friend!!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!!"

The moment Shimazuga saw Riki lying on the ground, his eyes turned red, his mind went blank, and he was filled with nothing but anger.

"You scared me to death! Turns out he's just a pretty boy, all skinny and thin. What does he want?"

The scarred man chuckled and beckoned his two brothers to slowly walk towards Shimazuga.

"Oh, could it be a woman?"

The scarred man looked Shimazuga up and down carefully. He had seen many girls dressed as men before, and seeing that this guy had fair skin and was extremely handsome, he subconsciously asked a question.

The voice just fell.

As if a gust of wind had blown by, he was met with a slender, pale fist that struck the scarred man's abdomen with a strange force.

He groaned, spitting out bitter saliva, staggered a few steps, and collapsed to the ground, his body hunched over, writhing like a shrimp about to be cooked. The excruciating pain made him break out in a cold sweat and unable to speak.

Seeing this, the other two were dumbfounded, staring at Shimazuga, whose eyes were as terrifying as the Grim Reaper, and stood there in a daze.

Immediately afterward, a gust of wind blew past their ears, and two incredibly fast whip kicks landed beautifully on their faces, knocking them to the ground.

Shimazuga's face was as cold as ice, like a war god descending from the sky. In just two exchanges, he crushed these pests.

"Li Zhu, are you alright?"

"Don't worry about me, finish them off! Don't let them get away, beat them to death, don't give them a chance to get back up."

Li Zhu, standing to the side, said weakly, then closed her eyes.

Shimazu He obediently went back and kicked them dozens more times until they were completely unconscious...

Everything is resolved.

He immediately rushed over to check on Li Zhu, who was lying on the ground, and held him in his arms.

Looking at the wounds on Li Zhu's body, anger, regret, sadness... all sorts of emotions surged in my heart.

Why didn't I rush up and stop them immediately? Why did I just watch them take Li Zhu away?

Why did I arrive so late? Otherwise, Li Zhu wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

These people are unbelievable! If anything happens to him, I'll make them pay a thousandfold!

Suddenly, Li Zhu felt as if he were lying in a warm and soft embrace, a faint fragrance wafting to his nose, and he slowly relaxed his tense body.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhu felt some liquid dripping onto her face. When she opened her eyes, she realized it was this guy's tears.

"Cough cough, hey, what are you doing? I was just closing my eyes to rest for a bit, why did you get all your snot on my face?"

Shimazuga's fair and flawless face was right in front of him, his eyes red-rimmed, filled with self-blame and worry, looking like he was about to cry. But when he saw Riki full of energy, he was stunned.

Damn, from Li Zhu's angle, she looks exactly like a girl.

"You, you shouldn't act like a woman, okay?" Li Zhu blushed, turned her head away, and dared not meet those gentle, watery eyes again.

"Riki, you scared me to death!" Shimazuga hugged Riki tightly, as if he wanted to meld him into his body and never be separated from him.

This was the first time he had ever cared so much about someone.

hiss--

His impulsiveness really got Li Zhu into trouble.

Feeling a tearing pain spreading throughout her body, Li Zhu couldn't help but gasp several times.

"Quick, let go! The beatings they gave me didn't hurt as much as the way you held me!"

"Hehe~" Shimazu He turned from crying to laughing and slowly let go of her hand.

"Alright, alright, take your lap pillow off too. What kind of behavior is it for two grown men to be hugging and cuddling like this?"

Being able to lie in the male lead's sweet and soft arms is certainly a good thing, but for a straight man like Li Zhu, it's still too exciting.

……

Chapter Seventeen is quite sturdy.

"Let's go back."

Rin, who was originally lying in his arms, was suddenly picked up by Shimazu He.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!"

"Look at you, you're probably too weak to walk."

"I can walk..."

"Don't move. You're injured, so rest first. Leave the rest to me."

"No, put me down right now."

"I won't let you go unless you can beat me."

"..."

Fine, you have the bigger fist, so you're right.

What Li Zhu also wants to say is, can't you carry it on your back?

Do I really have to use a princess carry...?

Li Zhu never expected that she would receive such a princess carry, and that her first princess carry would be given to her by the male protagonist of a game she had played.

Outrageous...

Soon, his attention was drawn to other things.

Unexpectedly, Shimazu He walked steadily while carrying him, without blushing or panting. From below, her face even gave off the feeling of a heroine.

That can't be right. How can such slender and soft arms have such great strength?

He seemed to remember something and asked.

Are they alright?

"fine."

"Thanks to you this time."

"No, no, no, this is what I should do. You stood up for your classmates and were not afraid of facing a strong enemy. This spirit of self-sacrifice is truly admirable."

Shimazuga didn't think he was anything special for casually taking down a few thugs; on the contrary, he greatly admired Riki's spirit of self-sacrifice, which made Riki a little embarrassed.

Am I really that amazing? Even the male lead praised me, hehehe.

"But I still want to say thank you."

"You're welcome, we're good friends."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhu blushed and lowered her head in silence.

For him, lying in someone else's arms was already embarrassing enough, but now he was hearing such mushy things said to him. To be honest, he was extremely ashamed.

"Cough cough, I didn't expect you to be such a good fighter."

Left with no other choice, Li Zhu began to change the subject.

"I'm not very good at fighting, I only know a little bit about it."

It should be a tiny bit, right? Taking down three thugs in two moves, that's incredibly impressive.

"By the way, how did you develop those pectoral muscles? They're so big."

After saying that, he touched it with his hand, and it felt strange. It was as if something was binding Shimazuga's chest.

"It's quite sturdy."

He shouldn't have touched it, because touching it caused a problem.

"Hmm~"

Shimazuga suddenly let out a soft moan, her whole body felt as if she had been electrocuted, her hand trembled, and she dropped Riki to the ground.

Before Li Zhu could even react, she was firmly embraced by Mother Earth.

Peng——

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Oh, Li Zhu, are you alright? I'm so sorry, I... I didn't mean to!"

"Why did you suddenly let go? Ouch, you almost killed me..." Li Zhu complained.

However, when he looked up and saw Shimazuga's face was flushed, looking like a child who had done something wrong and at a loss for what to do, his anger subsided considerably.

"It was just a touch on the pectoral muscles, why such a big reaction?"

Li Zhu rubbed the spot where she had fallen and thought to herself, "You're a grown man, why are you acting like a woman? So conservative. Isn't it normal for guys in the gym to touch each other's abs and pecs and give each other compliments?"

"I'm sorry, I might not have been mentally prepared, so I acted subconsciously. I promise I won't let go next time."

Shimazuga clutched his chest, the faint blush still lingering on his face, his expression shifting between shyness and self-reproach.

"Please spare me, I can walk by myself."

There will never be a next time something so embarrassing. Princess carries and stuff like that are really not for me.

Seeing that Riki was having some difficulty getting up, Shimazuga bent down to help her up.

Suddenly, several joyful shouts came from afar.

"Found them! They're here!!"

"Riki, Shimazu, are you alright?"

"We've brought the police officers to rescue you!"

It turned out to be those little kittens crying and whimpering, and the two female protagonists who weren't crying but had furrowed brows also asked with worried expressions.

"Li Zhu is injured?! Is she badly injured?"

"It's alright, I can still walk a few steps."

"By the way, what about those three thugs?!"

"This is a long story, let's talk about it when we get out," Shimazuga said solemnly, supporting the injured Riki.

Subsequently, the police arrived and took the three unconscious thugs away in handcuffs, while escorting Li Zhu and her group to the police station to give statements.

Afterwards, Li Zhu was sent to the hospital to recover from her injuries.

The matter was thus concluded.

……

the next morning.

First Central Hospital.

Li Zhu, wrapped up like a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), lay on the bed in a daze.

Speaking of which, Li Zhu's mother hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet, but Li Zhu came in to keep her company.

squeak-

Suddenly, the door opened, and a familiar figure quietly slipped in. Li Zhu looked over upon hearing the sound.

"It's you. What are you doing here?"

Why is it Hinata Kotone?

Li Zhu is one of the people he least wants to see right now, after all, his injuries are thanks to these female protagonists.

If the male lead hadn't been there, Li Zhu would probably have been injured even more severely. It's easy to imagine how dangerous it would be for a supporting character to get close to the female lead.

She actually came to see Li Zhu alone today. No, I have to be careful and see what she's up to.

"Can't I come?"
