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

Li Zhu read her personal introduction again, comparing it with her memories, and pondered, but she couldn't recall any impression of the name at all.

The second place is surprisingly Kujo Marie, a second-year high school student who currently serves as the student council president. She has outstanding abilities in all aspects, especially her leadership skills and personal charm. It's just a pity that her academic performance only ranks in the top ten of the entire grade, and she has not made any achievements in the arts. She is not as versatile as the first place, but considering the entire campus, she can be considered second only to the first person.

Third is an old acquaintance, Hinata Kotone.

"Wow, third place. I didn't expect this guy to be so good."

In her second year of high school, she served as the grade's disciplinary committee member. She seemed to have no weaknesses in any subject and was well-rounded in all aspects. She seemed quite capable, and could be considered a youthful version of Chiyuki Nagakawa. She ranked third, like a starfish.

The fourth one is Mayumi Hojo, a senior in the third year of high school. She is a big shot in the sports club. But mainly, Riki doesn't know her, so there's nothing to pay attention to.

Further on, well, I'm not interested in watching anything worse.

Li Zhu had really broadened her horizons. This school was full of hidden talents, and the outstanding students were all incredibly talented. However, there wasn't a single male student in the top five, which she found a bit outrageous.

Are the boys at this school really that bad?

Li Zhu turned back to look at the string of gold awards below the first place winner, a collection of honors bestowed upon her. She couldn't help but stroke her chin, thinking to herself, "No wonder she's the woman who even outshines the game's female protagonist."

After reading it, Li Zhu once again praised Mingchuan.

"How lonely it must be to be invincible. She's always at the top of the list, and even a heroine like Kujo Marie can only be trampled under her feet. She's really amazing. And she's also very beautiful."

There's a photo above that's not very clear, but you can still tell the person is beautiful.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I don't think it's anything special to trample Kujo Marie underfoot. Besides, I don't think Nagakawa Chiyuki is that great either, she's just so-so."

A cool, clear voice sounded beside me, saying this with a hint of amusement.

Li Zhu was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice who had suddenly appeared next to her.

Damn it, anyone who can beat Marie is my boss, I won't allow you to talk about her like that!

He earnestly refuted the contemptuous words of others.

"It's not a big deal to step on Kujo's head. After all, he's a guy who's always been defeated by you. But you can't look down on Nagakawa Chiyuki. She's always ranked first, so she must be amazing. If she's not amazing enough, do you expect someone like you who just talks nonsense to be in her place?"

Huh? Why am I suddenly so excited?

And why is someone talking to me?

Li Zhu was startled and quickly turned her head, only to meet a pair of pure and clear beautiful eyes.

Her eyes, like autumn waves, were deep and lively, like a newborn fawn, yet they also gave the impression of a wise woman well-versed in literature.

This girl with long, straight black hair has delicate features and a slender figure. Up close, she is truly stunningly beautiful, like a sun suddenly leaping out of the sea, with rays of light emanating from her that are so dazzling they hurt the eyes.

"Um... this woman, lesbian, who are you referring to?"

For some reason, Li Zhu suddenly came up with this misleading punctuation; she clearly meant to say "female classmate."

"Pfft, lesbian? My sexual orientation is normal, I'm not a homosexual."

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, thinking that someone as good-looking as him could come up with the word "lesbian," so he might be an expert in that area himself.

Sure enough, what the book described was true: the more handsome a man is, the greater the probability that he is gay. With this thought in mind, he raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly.

"You look quite like a male ketone."

"Pah! No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"I just slipped up and said lesbian instead of female classmate. Sorry."

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry I misunderstood you."

The girl drawled out her words, and looking at Li Zhu's flustered appearance, she felt a strange sense of pleasure.

"By the way, were you talking about Chiyuki Nagakawa just now?"

"Isn't she number one? Someone this amazing would be someone anyone would take a second look at."

"Pfft, your description makes it sound like you're going to the zoo to see giant pandas. You don't even know her, yet you're defending her?"

"I didn't help, I was just telling the truth."

"Think about it, someone might get first place once by chance, which could be due to luck, but if someone consistently stays in first place, that's the best proof of their ability. I generally admire people who are that amazing."

"If any tactless person dares to speak arrogantly in front of me, I will tell her, 'If you're so good, then do it yourself; if you're not, then shut up.'"

The girl nodded, agreeing with Li Zhu's point of view, completely unaware that the person being addressed was her.

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"Hey, I was just about to ask you something..."

Drop drop-

Li Zhu's phone alarm suddenly went off, which meant that his mother would arrive in about five minutes. He didn't even have time to look at his heroic deeds and hurriedly ran towards the door.

"Ah, I have something to do, it's getting late, I have to go, bye~"

"..."

The girl watched his flustered figure until he disappeared from her sight, and suddenly remembered what Li Zhu had just said.

[If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then shut up...]

"I've learned something. From now on, I'll use that phrase to give a sharp retort to those tactless people. Oh, I forgot to ask his name." The girl pursed her lips, somewhat annoyed.

"However, when he looked at me just now, his eyes were clear, showing only appreciation and surprise, which was very endearing. He's different from other men in that respect. He's quite an interesting and strange person."

However, after only a few minutes of contact, the girl had already developed some interest in Li Zhu.

"I hope we'll have the chance to meet again someday."

……

If Li Zhu had carefully compared the girl in front of him with the photo on the bulletin board, he would have found that this unknown, stunningly beautiful girl bore a striking resemblance to the photo of Chuan Qianxue, who was ranked first.

However, precisely because the photo didn't do her justice, and it failed to capture her extraordinary charisma, Li Zhu didn't recognize her, thus avoiding a potentially embarrassing situation.

……

……

There'll be another chapter tonight!

Chapter Thirty: Knight or Stalker?

along the way.

Li Zhu overheard some young noblemen complaining about the new sports festival and grumbling about the student council's actions.

But they are more worried about tomorrow's group assignments.

This is like a lottery. If you're chosen and put in a team full of experts, you can win without even trying. Conversely, even if you're an expert, if you're put in a team full of noobs, it's very difficult for you to win.

It can be said that the quality of the group assignments greatly affected the performance of most people at the sports festival.

However, as they talked, their gazes would involuntarily drift towards Li Zhu.

"Hey, look! There's a handsome guy at nine o'clock!"

"He's really good-looking. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."

"Why don't you go up and say hello to him?"

My best friend gave me a nudge, signaling her friend to hurry up. Then the girl lowered her head shyly and mumbled something. The group started pushing and shoving each other and playing around.

By the time the group came to their senses, Li Zhu was already far away.

I received a call from my mom as soon as I stepped out of the school gate.

"Hey Mom, what's up?"

"Ah Zhu, I have to work overtime today, so you don't need to wait for me. You can go home first."

"Overtime?! Why?"

Li Zhu reacted strongly, not because no one came to pick him up, but because his family's circumstances were not as difficult as before, so why did he still have to work overtime?

Has Mom secretly taken on a few more jobs behind my back?

No one knows a child better than their mother, and Mom knew what Li Zhu's big reaction meant.

"Silly child, let's not even talk about repaying the principal's kindness. Our family's medical expenses and your hospitalization fees were all paid by others. We have to pay them back. Besides, don't worry, the boss is a very nice person. This overtime is not tiring. It's just like extending the working hours."

"Mom, we've settled all our debts, and the other person doesn't care about our money."

Li Zhu felt somewhat helpless; why was her mother so stubborn about certain things?

The mother on the other end of the phone was clearly silent for a while before slowly speaking.

"It's okay, just consider it saving up for your future wife. Your big reaction made me think you missed your mom picking you up from school..."

"No! Mom, don't talk nonsense. I think walking home is perfectly fine. Anyway, our house isn't far, so it's like taking a walk." Li Zhu quickly interrupted her mother's unfounded speculation.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Zhu hung up first. She was afraid that if they continued chatting, her mom would get caught slacking off at work by her boss...

Just as Li Zhu was about to take a step, she found that a circle was forming around her.

The people who surrounded her weren't Ouran High School students, but their butlers or maids. They had all been waiting very politely until Riki finished her call before approaching her.

"Excuse me, sir, my young lady would like to invite you to ride in the car to discuss life. What do you think?" An elderly butler, dressed in a black tailcoat and over fifty years old, extended the invitation to Li Zhu.

"..."

"Sir, my daughter finds you very attractive and would like to invite you to her home. We hope you can give us a positive response."

"Um, I..."

"Sir, my young lady is as beautiful as a flower and has a wonderful figure. She fell in love with you at first sight! She's just waiting for you to get in the car!"

"My young lady said that if you agree to get in the car and chat with her, the car will be yours for the taking!"

"..."

"Sorry, I really have no interest..." Li Zhu pretended to walk out.

Rich women are great, but health is still the most important thing.

In a corner on the outskirts, a young maid broke through the encirclement and suddenly burst into tears, speaking through her tear-filled eyes.

In an instant, everyone present, including Li Zhu, was drawn to her.

"My young lady has such a tragic life. She was born alone, with no brothers or sisters, only money for company. She has always hoped that someone could see through her feigned strength and reveal the lonely and vulnerable heart beneath. So, sir, please, you must save my young lady! She has nothing but money!"

Li Zhu's lips twitched slightly as she listened. Damn it, is the life of the rich really this boring?

"Sorry, I'm not interested in getting to know your young lady. Forced relationships are never sweet. Besides, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Li Zhu's rather literary and tactful refusal.

Those present were all well-mannered people, and they understood that he was determined to leave, so they did not stop him from going.

"Sir, sir, you rejected the other young ladies, so could you please meet my young master?" A cute little maid caught up with him and asked earnestly.

"?"

"not see!"

Li Zhuyi firmly refused, saying, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're cute. I can accept you, but I can't accept your master."

I like women!

……

Today is Li Zhu's first day of school after being discharged from the hospital. So many things have happened in just one day that Li Zhu is a little overwhelmed.

Firstly, Li Zhu planned to show his true face. Although he had always felt that showing his true face was dangerous, he had now proven that he was overthinking it and that no illegal activities such as kidnapping or drugging had occurred.

It seems that people in this world are still law-abiding citizens.

Aside from a few superficial people who only care about appearances and occasionally bother her, high looks seem to have no impact on the female protagonist of the game.

not worried.

Next came the new sports festival, which caused quite a stir, but most students were probably tamed by the student council, and the rest couldn't cause any trouble.

Regardless of everyone else, he'll ask for leave first thing tomorrow morning!

Unfortunately, the traffic light at the intersection ahead turned red.

Because it was rush hour, the intersection was busy with cars and pedestrians, and Li Zhu, like everyone else, was waiting for the red light to end.

He received a different treatment in the crowd. Li Zhu was surrounded by beautiful young women, and the scent of various perfumes filled the air. The men waiting on the side looked at him with envy.

To be honest, Li Zhu didn't feel any romantic feelings; he only felt the oppressive heat.
