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

"In the five groups, the group with the worst grades will have all its final grades invalidated, and the holiday will be halved, with the other half used for make-up classes and retakes."

"Holy crap, is this some kind of cruelty? All final exams are invalidated?!"

"Half the holiday?! Holy crap, isn't this killing me?"

"How terrifying! I don't want this nerve-wracking sports festival anymore. Give me back my carefree, fun-filled sports festival! Waaaaah..."

The words of punishment, spoken in that emotionless voice, felt like pouring a ton of cold water into a blazing fire, turning the freshmen from a state of intense excitement into a chorus of groans.

Despair is never unique; it's just a matter of who comes first and who comes last.

The louder the cheers were just now, the more desperate we are now. Brothers, can you still laugh now?

Hearing the excited wails of the freshmen next door, the students in Class D seemed to feel a little better. People always need someone even more miserable than themselves to make their suffering less painful.

As for the seniors in grades 11 and 12, they've become numb. Like I said before, some people die today, but aren't buried for almost ten days...

"The group list will be announced tomorrow morning. Note that each group will have to decide on their own performance for the opening ceremony. The performance for the opening ceremony will also give your group a lot of bonus points."

"Oh, again? The opening ceremony's program? Forget about it!"

"There are only three days left, and you still have to put on a show? Have you students in the student council any sense?!"

"Damn it, I can't take this anymore! What right do you student council members have? Why are you pointing fingers like this and even deciding on the final exams? I, Sato, am not satisfied with your punishment system. I'm the first to publicly oppose it!"

"Damn, I'm second!"

"Add me too!"

Sure enough, while the seniors had already given up, the freshmen, who were new to the school, were a bit immature and hadn't experienced the harsh realities of life, so some hot-tempered older students slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

"Brothers, let's sign a petition and report the student council's corruption and abuse of power to the board of directors!"

"All Ouran High School Host Club members, let's unite and defeat the student council bureaucracy! There's no time to lose!"

"Exactly, we can't stand it! What a load of rubbish about absolute equality! Does that mean the student council is superior to everyone else?"

The crowd was so excited that even Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Marxism-Leninism would have to admit they were experts!

Unfortunately, the people behind the loudspeaker seemed to know that her words would inevitably cause a commotion, and those feelings of discontent must now be spreading throughout the various freshman classes.

"The above information, as well as all the upcoming sports festival events, have been approved by the Board of Directors. The principal has also entrusted the Student Council with all responsibilities for the sports festival. If anyone has any complaints or better suggestions, please feel free to discuss them with the Student Council."

Those people were instantly dumbfounded.

Damn it, was their resistance also part of your plan?

Li Zhu also noticed that the girl seemed to add some emotion when she said those words; he detected a hint of disdain, impatience, or even sneer.

Of course, this was just his personal opinion. Others felt threatened and a sense of powerlessness welled up inside them, and their voices of resistance completely disappeared without a trace.

The dragon killed the ambitious hero with a single spit.

No, it's more like a bunch of little brats who went to ask their parents for help, only to get slapped hard by their own dads and discover in horror that they were the ones who were picked up.

Those loud, irritable guys and girls who were yelling earlier are now red-faced, feeling like clowns, and wishing they could immigrate to Mars overnight.

Enough said, they must have their own gang in Gotham City.

Li Zhu felt sorry for them. The student council's rhetoric was very clever and had a certain formula involved.

First, stir up their excitement; then, pour cold water on them to make them feel frustrated; then, gradually force out their last bit of resentment and anger; and finally, shatter all their resentment and hope with a single blow.

The upcoming sports festival is already more than halfway to success, because most people probably won't have any thoughts of resistance anymore. The reactions of those seniors are the best example. Moreover, these people will definitely focus all their attention on the sports festival in order to prepare for their final exams.

Based on her understanding and knowledge of Jiutiao, Li Zhu guessed the student council's thoughts with remarkable accuracy.

He planned every step carefully, and in the end, he fell right into someone's trap. That was truly brilliant.

"As expected of the character who got me stuck in the game, I could feel a suffocating pressure even before I started playing against him."

With the plot completely out of control, thankfully the female protagonists' true nature remained unchanged, which was Li Zhu's only solace.

This broadcast further solidified Riki's idea of ​​taking leave from the sports festival. Honestly, he would rather confess to an unknown person directly than have any contact with Kujo Marie.

"Finally, I hope that all students will actively participate, give it their all at the sports festival, and leave no regrets in their youth. That concludes the broadcast."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pear Blossoms Will Never Be Slaved!

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important. The students turned their grief and anger into appetite and went to eat.

Perhaps because the game's storyline has a Japanese feel, most of the students' lunches are bento boxes they brought from home.

However, it's okay if you don't bring your own lunch. The school has restaurants for students to choose from. Well, they are a bit more expensive. For a family like Riki's, a good meal at Ouran High School Restaurant is almost equivalent to a week's salary for her mother.

Therefore, the school's convenience store became another place for students to go, where cheap, standardized ready-made lunch boxes were sold.

While her mother was hospitalized, Li Zhu made do with lunches from convenience stores.

Since we brought our own lunch, the place where we ate it was also important. Ouran High School Host Club has a tradition of not eating in the classroom, because it is a place for learning and there must be rules.

Therefore, students usually choose to eat in the club activity room because it is not only spacious, but also has long tables for dining, as well as enthusiastic and lively seniors. Eating together as club members can foster relationships among each other.

Well, today, the seniors might not be as enthusiastic as usual...

Unlike others, Li Zhu usually chooses to eat alone on the rooftop, where no one can disturb him, and he can enjoy the breeze and a moment of peace.

Hmph, as Lu Shuren once said, "Wild beasts always roam alone, while cattle and sheep travel in herds."

It wasn't because he was confused those few days and missed the recruitment periods for various clubs, resulting in him not being able to join any clubs...

Sigh, back in China, the academic pressure in high school was suffocating, and there weren't nearly as many club activities. Even after he traveled to a place with such abundant club activities... he still didn't get to experience any of them.

It's a real shame to miss out this time. If I want to join the club, I'll probably have to wait until the second recruitment, but by then Li Zhu will already be a junior in high school, so it won't really matter whether I join or not.

"So you're here!" A surprised female voice rang out behind Li Zhu, and a young girl was standing at the top of the stairs.

Li Zhu knew who was coming without even turning around. She hadn't figured out how to deal with the nobody yet, as she was rather soft-hearted and didn't like to cause trouble for herself.

But when she was hospitalized, I always felt that something was wrong with her, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Maybe I'm overthinking it. Yuko has been quite well-behaved lately. Hinata Kotone said she hates me, and Kyoko's attention is all on Shimazuga. So far, things are going very well.

The two people to watch out for now are those in the student council, Kujo Marie and Kamikawa Kyoko. Getting involved with them could very likely result in someone dying.

"It's a wonder you found this place. Aren't you going to eat? What are you doing here looking for me?" Li Zhu said calmly.

The little transparent girl held a pink square package in her hand, watching Li Zhu's back as she buried her head in her food, a strange smile curving her lips.

"Because I want to have lunch with you~ May I sit next to you?"

Li Zhu turned his head and watched as the pair of beautiful legs clad in white stockings quickly approached him, then sat down.

Those bright, peach-blossom eyes stared at Li Zhu, a look of infatuation flashing in them; that profile was truly captivating.

"If I say no, you really won't come sit down here?"

You've already acted first and asked me later, why are you still asking me?

"Hehe, ta-da! Look at my bento box. How is it? Doesn't it look much tastier than yours?"

Yuko opened her bento box, which had four layers. Riki glanced at it curiously; this was the first time he had ever seen such a lavish bento in real life, and he secretly swallowed, his mouth watering.

Good heavens! Top-quality Wagyu beef, large chunks of peeled shrimp—these things were stuffed in like they were free, along with separate layers of dipping sauce and vegetables, and at the bottom, plump, golden rice.

After seeing what was in other people's bowls, and then looking at my own, it seemed rather meager, and the bento box didn't taste good anymore. The pear stalks tasted like chewing wax.

"Oh dear, the head maid has put out so much food again. I really can't eat all of this. Why don't you help me with some of it?"

The still-warm food, with its tempting sheen and rich aroma, was extremely stimulating to Li Zhu's nose and taste buds, especially since it came from a cute and adorable girl next to her.

"I...I'm full!"

How terrifying! For a moment, my reason was almost overwhelmed by my tongue and nose.

Li Zhu felt that he could resist the temptations of beautiful women and power, but money and food were the only things he could never give up.

There's no way around it; people are used to being poor. They tend to pursue what they lack. Li Zhu is particularly eager for money. With money, she can do many things, improve her life, and give her mother a better life...

Money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.

As for food, it is Pear Blossom's lingering regret from her past life to this one.

During the most difficult time of her past life, Li Zhu watched food videos on a certain small website while eating instant noodles. That period was quite unforgettable.

Actually, finding a rich woman as a girlfriend wouldn't be so bad. You'd have money then, and delicious food wouldn't be far behind. This dangerous thought inexplicably popped into Li Zhu's mind.

But then he remembered that he had a roommate in college who had gotten involved with a rich woman. He hadn't seen him for only one National Day holiday, and the roommate had lost a lot of weight, had sunken eyes, and was trembling. The young man was only in his early twenties, and he could barely hold chopsticks...

Ah, forget it. I should just forget about finding a rich woman. It's not worth selling my soul and body for money and food.

You have to find a young, wealthy woman...

"No, you have to finish all this for me. Choose: do it yourself, or I'll feed you!"

Yuko started acting unreasonable again. She didn't care whether Riku refused or not, and directly placed those things in front of him. Looking at Riku's pink lips, she was somewhat eager to try them out.

I'm just asking you, are you going to eat it or not?

Li Zhu recalled the shameful time she spent feeding Li Zhu in the hospital.

"You don't need to lift a finger, I'll do it myself!"

"Don't make so much next time. I can't eat your food every day." Li Zhu picked up a piece of shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling.

"These are bento boxes made by the head maid. As for how many she made, that's none of my business."

Looking at Yuko's playful and sly smile, Li Zhu felt a mix of emotions. He understood the little nobody's feelings; she liked him, and even after being rejected, she still liked him.

That's why she's trying so hard to get close to me now; the bento box is just a pretext to hide her true feelings of wanting to get closer to me.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with Yuko Sakurai. She's pretty, obedient, gentle, and considerate. She's also rarely caused trouble for Riku lately. Most importantly, she's a rich woman!

Hmm, it seems that apart from the fact that Yuko is the female lead, everything else perfectly matches my criteria.

Li Zhu felt like he was a jerk. On one hand, he thought the other person was a very good person, but on the other hand, he was a little timid because he had also had a distorted relationship in the past, so he always had some shadows about love.

Otherwise, why would Li Zhu emphasize that he must find an ordinary girlfriend?

"Lizhu, do you think it's delicious? Lizhu? You're daydreaming again. What are you thinking about? You still haven't answered me whether this bento is good or not!"

"Oh, I wasn't thinking about anything. I just ate something so delicious and was savoring it. Thank you for the bento box, it was so good, so very good!"

"Hehe, so good~"

Yuko smiled, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons, concealing her deep, dark pupils, and unconsciously revealing an expression of affection like that of someone who keeps a pet.

Li Zhu was completely oblivious and continued to enjoy his meal, the delicious food having lowered his guard to its lowest level.

Is this guy a beastman?

I vow never to be a slave! Unless you provide food and lodging?

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chiyuki Nagakawa

School in the afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Riki, Shimazu, Kaoru, and the others, he remained alone on campus.

He checked his phone; his mother wouldn't be home from get off work for a while, so he decided to check the bulletin board to see how his "heroic deeds" were reported.

The bulletin board is in the fountain square. Because the school is very large, the teaching building for first-year high school students is quite far from the fountain square. You have to cross the playground, walk past the teaching buildings for second and third-year high school students, and follow a path to reach the side of the club activity building. The fountain square is in front of it.

The bulletin board stands in front of the club building, facing the stage of the fountain square, and is perpendicular to the entrance and exit of Ouran High School.

As she passed through that path, Li Zhu couldn't help but frown, enduring the noisy practice sounds from the music club as she hurried past.

I don't know which brother is a disciple of Squidward, but his recorder playing is indescribable, and he's even playing that song "Kikujiro's Summer".

It sounds like Kikujiro just passed away seven days after his death, because the sound of the flute had just sent him off.

call--

"Finally, I can't hear it anymore once I get to the front. It was so hard! It was like a demonic sound."

"Let me see what's written on the notice board."

Riki happened to see the results of the Ouran High School's Top Ten Outstanding Students competition.

"Holy crap, who is this guy? Is he that strong?"

The first one is named Chiyuki Nagakawa, a second-year high school student. Since entering the school, she has consistently ranked first in academic subjects with near-perfect scores. In the arts, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even her sports performance is among the best. For a girl, she is a true all-rounder!

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's a real monster. Chiyuki Nagakawa isn't supposed to be the female protagonist of the game, is she? Did this character even appear when I played the game?"
