Why are all the heroines falling for me, the villain?

"I've sent you so many messages and you haven't replied. Did you lose your phone? Or is there some other reason why you're not replying?"

Aren't you going to reply to my message yet?

"I'll get angry~ smiley face.jpg"

This is the last message, posted two hours ago.

Just moments ago, Li Zhu looked quite relaxed, but now she sat up abruptly from the sofa, her expression grave, as if facing a formidable enemy.

He wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself.

Oh no, how could I forget about her? Yuko left before she even arrived today. I didn't appease her properly. I hope she's not going to cause any big trouble. I can feel her deep resentment even through the screen.

Li Zhu was a little worried. Yuko was no longer the obscure girl she used to be, so he couldn't use the same methods to deal with her anymore.

She was supposed to be the easiest heroine to win over, so how did she end up like this?

He typed a lot of words, shook his head and deleted them, then typed a lot more, still not satisfied, and deleted them again. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to the female protagonist who was on the verge of exploding.

correct!

Li Zhu turned on her camera, took a few satisfactory selfies, and sent them over.

"Sorry, Sakurai-kun, I went to get a haircut today, so I didn't have time to check my messages. What do you think of my new look?"

This tactic involves first explaining the reason, then diverting the other person's attention.

Ding-dong-

back in seconds.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Huh? What does she mean by that?

Li Zhu was somewhat confused by this message. Did this message from a nobody conceal some kind of murderous intent?

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a solution, so he had no choice but to reply politely.

"It's nothing, you're welcome."

After a while, Yuko Sakurai finally replied, and even sent an emoji.

"Yeah~"

"Shy.jpg"

Li Zhu:? ? ?

My mind was full of questions. Why did she suddenly send a shy emoji? What's going on here? Don't young people these days chat like normal people?

Li Zhu was at a loss for words. She couldn't help but wonder if she was getting old, unable to keep up with other people's train of thought in online chats, and even seemed a bit silly.

Damn it, forget it, why bother replying? I don't want to think about it anymore. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it when I get back to school tomorrow.

And so, after organizing her thoughts for a long time, Li Zhu ended up deleting everything.

……

at the same time.

In an apartment building not far from Li Zhu's house.

Yuko Sakurai put away her binoculars and looked through the photos someone had sent her over and over again. After a while, her breathing became a little rapid.

Then, upon seeing Li Zhu's message, "It's nothing, you're welcome," she blushed deeply and happily rolled around on the sofa, clutching her phone.

After making a fuss for a while, she couldn't help but secretly open her phone's photo album again, zoom in on Li Zhu's photos, and look at them with fascination, her breathing becoming rapid again.

Her face was flushed, and she stared at the photo as if she had done something wrong, swallowing hard.

Finally, a slightly damp mark was left on the phone screen.

……

Early the next morning.

My mom insisted on taking Lizhu to school, saying she hadn't ridden her own little scooter in a long time and wanted to give it a spin.

I took the side path again, dropped off the pears at the usual spot, and rushed off to work...

Call ~

From today onwards, I must shed my disguise and present a new face. This may lead to new encounters and risks, so I must be even more cautious in everything I do. Li Zhu silently recited this in her heart as she calmly walked towards the gate of Ouran High School.

As usual.

No matter how early you get up, as long as the gates of Ouran High School Host Club are open, you can always see the neatly dressed members of the Disciplinary Committee and their leader, Hinata Kotone, the class's Disciplinary Committee member, keeping an eye on the students coming and going.

They are the managers and monitors of Ouran High School's rules and regulations.

Li Zhu wanted to go in with the other students as usual.

As a result, on this short stretch of road less than 300 meters long leading to the gate, no fewer than ten female students approached her shyly to chat.

Moreover, they all used a variety of tricks, clearly all lusting after Li Zhu's body was revealed after she removed her disguise.

"A friend of mine would like to get to know you?"

"Sorry, I don't have time to get to know her."

……

"Excuse me, you dropped something."

"Really? It didn't fall off."

"You've forgotten me? Let me introduce myself. My name is Miki."

"No need, thank you."

……

"Ouch, I've fallen down. Can someone help me up?"

Li Zhu reacted quickly, dodging the girl's substitute attack, which seemed heartless. Several well-meaning boys stepped forward to help the girl up, but were scolded by her for meddling and ruining her plans.

……

That's outrageous.

Even though Riyuki presents a cold and aloof demeanor, she can't resist the fiery enthusiasm of her classmates from Ouran High School Host Club, who surround her in layers of warmth.

Li Zhu was a little annoyed; these people really couldn't shake their habit of liking to watch.

However, don't forget that the Discipline Committee is here. How could they allow such disruptive behavior to exist in front of Ouran High School Host Club?

So Hinata Kotone shouted, "Hey you over there, what are you all doing! Don't huddle together! Do you all want to do your morning exercise (get punished by running laps)?!"

The students around Li Zhu seemed to hear some terrifying sound and scattered like a receding tide, but the aloof beauty's majesty remained.

They might be afraid of running laps, or perhaps even more afraid of the embarrassing scene of being surrounded by onlookers while running laps.

"Well done, you've finally done something good."

Li Zhu gave this dedicated disciplinary committee member a thumbs up.

"You, who are you?"

Hinata Kotone looked at Riki's face and felt it was very familiar, but after searching her mind, she realized that apart from Shimazuga, she probably didn't know any other man who was so handsome.

Wait, that annoying tone of voice!

"Are you Riki?" Hinata Kotone stared at that excessively handsome face repeatedly, guessing.

Li Zhu had nothing to hide, so she readily admitted it and then greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, it's me. Good morning, everyone. I hope you've had a hard day on guard duty. I won't keep you from getting back to work. Bye~."

"You..." Hinata Kotone was extremely shocked and speechless.

"So he was Li Zhu..."

Miki, who was standing to the side, was completely focused on Riki. She stared blankly as the figure walked away. Today it was finally her turn to stand guard with Lady Kotone, and she happened to run into the person she had been concerned about before.

Almost instinctively, Miki's hand touched the spot where the dagger was hidden in her skirt again. A strange red light flashed in her eyes, and she licked her bright red lips.

Now I understand why Lady Kotone cares so much about him; he really is a very alluring man.

Li Zhu was unaware that his unique charisma had indeed attracted the attention of a pervert.

Along the way, bathed in the gazes of others, as long as Li Zhu treated them as wooden NPCs in her mind, she could get used to it.

Enter the teaching building.

His classroom is on the second floor; it's the third one upstairs on the left.

He didn't have the habit of greeting his classmates, so he walked in quietly.

I don't know when it started, but the noisy sounds in the classroom gradually weakened until they disappeared completely, as if Li Zhu had pressed the mute button wherever she went.

Some students who were stuffing their breakfast into their mouths frantically, after a moment of stunned silence upon seeing him, began to move with gentle grace; while the girls who were laughing loudly and acting somewhat rudely immediately became well-behaved and charming, whispering to their best friends, their faces flushed, talking about something unknown.

Most of the boys looked on with curiosity and surprise. How come there was such a handsome man in their class? Was he here to see someone?

Huh? He sat down. He wasn't looking for anyone!

Wait, isn't he sitting in that gloomy guy Li Zhu's seat?!

Holy crap! My God! Could he be that incredibly low-profile Li Zhu?!

Upon confirming this fact, everyone was utterly shocked.

Li Zhu seemed unaware of the profound impact his transformation had had on the class.

He put down his schoolbag and, as usual, greeted his deskmate, Kaoru Kazama, who was engrossed in his book.

Good morning, Kazama-kun.

"Hmm, good morning, Riyu-kun." Kazama Kaoru seemed engrossed in reading, and only politely looked up at Riyu-kun in response to her greeting.

However, after just one glance, she froze and didn't move.

……

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Pinnacle of Ouran High School Host Club

Suddenly, a handsome, lean face appeared before Kazama Kaoru's eyes, but the face looked bloodless and somewhat pale.

Her mind went blank for a moment, she looked a little dazed, forgot to turn the page of her book, and stared at the handsome face without moving, her beautiful, watery eyes wide open.

After greeting her, Li Zhu noticed that she was still staring at her with a rather strange expression, which puzzled her, so she smiled and said...

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

With that smile, Kaoru Kazama felt the air around him get hot, and his own face started to burn.

Her pretty face flushed, and she said softly, "No, it's nothing."

But in his heart he thought, "I never imagined you were so handsome."

I dared not say anything more and buried myself in my book.

After Li Zhu turned her head away, she quietly raised her head to take another look.

She thought to herself, "Her profile is beautiful too. But it's only been a few days since I last saw her, how come Li Zhu has suddenly changed so much, and become so beautiful..."

Before Li Zhu could even warm her chair...

A vibrant voice approached from afar, followed by Kyoko Hanayama's appearance with light, quick steps.

"Oho~ Good morning, everyone!"

"Good morning, Kyoko-chan!!" ×n

Apart from Shimazuga, everyone in this class is Kyoko-chan's friend, so the lively atmosphere immediately became lively.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Kyoko removed the mute button that Riki had pressed earlier.

She looked around the classroom. Hmm, not bad, not bad. Kyoko was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Today, she was still the center of attention, enjoying everyone's affection.

Wait a minute!

"Huh?!?!"

Who is this?

Why is he sitting in Li Zhu's seat? Is he Li Zhu?!
