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

He felt that the two of them were just getting started and had a long time ahead of them. As long as he was willing to learn, one day he would be able to say to Yuko from the bottom of his heart, "I love you."

Everything seemed to be moving steadily forward, towards a bright future, at least that's what Li Zhu thought.

It wasn't until yesterday that he realized Yuko's trust in him wasn't the same as his trust in her, to the point that she wanted to use some special methods to bind and restrain him in order to gain Lizhu's unwavering loyalty.

Riku believes that Yuko's problems stem from his own fault. He thinks he may not love her enough and hasn't made her feel loved, which is why Yuko is lost in a predicament and shackles of distrust.

This is also because he doesn't know enough about Yuko, her true needs, her family and relationships, and her deeply hidden, soft, and delicate thoughts.

But he really wanted to tell Yuko that these were not problems. He asked her to trust him and give him more time. He promised that he would truly and sincerely love her and accept everything about her.

However, Yuko didn't even give him that chance and left.

So Li Zhu felt somewhat dejected. He felt that even though he was trying his best to do things, things were getting worse and worse.

He sat on the bench, leaned back, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly something dripped from the sky onto my face; it felt cool.

It turns out it was raining.

Please don't let it rain so fittingly for the occasion.

For some reason, Li Zhu disliked such coincidences, always feeling as if God was mocking him.

The rain is getting heavier.

The raindrops stubbornly pelted Li Zhu, as if trying to infuse his heart with their chill.

Feeling the chill of the rain spreading through his body, he seemed to regain his senses.

Even though his clothes were soaking wet and his shoes were full of water, he didn't hate the feeling today.

“You know what? That day I was on the road and saw a strangely shaped tree. My first reaction was to take a picture and show it to you… That’s when I knew I was in big trouble,” Li Zhu said to herself with a smile.

Not long after.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, mixed with the sound of water being trampled.

Then, an umbrella covered Li Zhu's head, and a figure breathing heavily stood behind the bench.

"Why are you standing here in the rain? You'll catch a cold. Go home quickly."

Li Zhu opened her eyes and saw a pretty face covered in water droplets, looking like a pale and delicate flower in the wind and rain.

What are you still standing there for?

With her hair and back soaked by the rain, Hinata Kotone was desperately holding up her only umbrella to shield him from the rain, completely oblivious to the fact that she was also soaked.

……

(One roll)

Chapter Seventy-Six: Those who know, know.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, soon pouring down like a torrential downpour from the horizon, the raindrops lashing the ground like countless whips.

Raindrops splashed and sprayed, creating a misty, hazy scene.

Most of the students, dressed in sportswear, gathered in the corridor, looking at the continuous rain outside.

"What a heavy rain!" someone exclaimed.

"It seems the sports festival will have to be temporarily suspended."

"Great!"

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, the broadcast came on at the right time, and the student council officially announced that the sports festival would be temporarily suspended.

As Li Zhu wished, the sports festival was canceled.

……

"Achoo~"

A cute sneeze came from the infirmary.

"I told you not to tilt the umbrella all the way up, but you wouldn't listen. Did you really think your body was as indestructible as mine?"

Li Zhu had changed into clean clothes. She frowned, glanced at the girl in front of her, and scolded her.

"Hey, don't forget who picked you up just now. Watch your mouth, you big idiot." Qin Yin was drying her hair with a towel when she heard this jerk's tone and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Who are you calling an idiot?" he looked up at her and suddenly asked.

“I’m calling you an idiot,” someone said without thinking.

Should we call her naive or just silly?

"Hmm, not bad, you've got the awareness."

"You!" Qin Yin was stunned for a moment before she reacted, then her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth as she angrily said, "You schemed against me!"

Li Zhu nodded expressionlessly, thinking that using such a trick that even elementary school students knew in her past life to deceive her felt like a waste of talent.

There's no sense of accomplishment in fooling idiots.

"Are you thinking about something rude?" Qin Yin's sixth sense told her that this bastard was thinking something very rude.

"So what if it is?" Li Zhu's expression was somewhat indifferent; he didn't even bother to hide it.

Qin Yin was taken aback when she saw him admit it so readily.

This guy, did something happen to him? He doesn't seem angry at all.

"gone."

After saying that, Li Zhu raised her hand and turned to leave the infirmary.

"Is he menstruating?" Qin Yin asked blankly. "No, men don't seem to have that."

What's wrong with him?

Kotone didn't know anything about Yuko; she just thought he was acting strangely.

Recently, Li Zhu has been receiving a barrage of messages, so many that he's a little overwhelmed.

That's how the world is. Usually, nothing's happening, but once something does happen, it all comes in droves, almost overwhelming a person to the point of being unable to breathe.

……

I walked along the corridor.

Li Zhu seemed to emanate a low-pressure aura, causing people to stop talking and stare at him curiously wherever he went. However, he ignored their gazes and walked straight into the classroom.

With the heavy rain preventing the sports festival from taking place, Kaoru Kazama was able to steal some time to read in the classroom.

"Li Zhu, good morning." She didn't turn her head to look, but caught a glimpse of a figure sitting down in the seat next to her out of the corner of her eye.

"Hmm, good morning." Li Zhu was not in much interest. After sitting down, she stared blankly at the misty rain outside.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xun put down the book in her hand and turned to look at him.

There was something off about the tone of his voice.

The boy's perfect profile was shrouded in gloom, just like the sky outside the window. Although his gaze was fixed on the rainy scene, his eyes were somewhat blank and lifeless, and there was an unyielding worry between his brows.

"Has something unpleasant happened lately?" she asked.

"I'm fine. Some things are pointless to say, so you don't need to ask." Li Zhu's tone was somewhat cold. He wasn't targeting anyone; he was just feeling a bit listless.

In a daze, Xun seemed to see Li Zhu, who was more than two months old, just like a puppy abandoned in the rain, pitiful and silent.

Back then, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Li Zhu a gloomy guy, partly because he was hiding his appearance. If it were now, he would at most be seen as a cool and handsome guy, or a melancholic handsome guy.

"How would we understand if you didn't tell us?" Kyoko appeared out of nowhere, speaking from behind Riki and gently patting his shoulder.

"We're best friends, you can confide in me about any troubles you have, and we'll share them together~"

"Say it, don't hold it in, it's bad for your health." She continued shaking the pear.

He sighed, looking at her playful and adorable expression with a hint of helplessness, and said...

"Let me say a few words about this matter."

As for my situation, you understand. In short, this is the current situation.

You might not understand it perfectly, but that's the gist of it.

I've seen this kind of thing many times. All I want to say is that those who understand will understand, and I won't explain further to those who don't.

Ultimately, it's best to keep it to yourself and savor it.

Don't ask me what happened. It's too complicated, and it won't do either of us any good to talk about it. Just pretend you don't know. All I can say is that this is a very complicated matter involving many things.

Therefore, all I can say is that those who know, know.

After Li Zhu finished speaking, she leaned back in her chair, looking completely calm.

Kyoko scratched the back of her head. Perhaps because a certain part of her body was too large, her brain's comprehension ability was somewhat lacking. So, after listening to Li Zhu's long speech, she felt like she hadn't heard anything at all.

Xun's bright, watery eyes were also filled with doubt, and her small mouth was slightly open, as if she was digesting Li Zhu's long speech.

I always felt that what Li Zhu was saying was just a bunch of nonsensical nonsense.

Of course it's nonsense. Even Li Zhu himself doesn't know what he's saying. He's just feeling frustrated and confused, which is why he's spouting these illogical nonsense.

If Yuko gave him that letter, why did she agree to transfer schools? What exactly happened between Yuko and her father? The powerful background of the Sakurai family…

He didn't understand any of them either.

So if Li Zhu herself hasn't figured things out, how can you expect him to explain anything to others?

"Are you trying to fool us?!"

After savoring the moment, Kyoko couldn't resist rushing over and grabbing Riri's collar when she saw her smug expression. Her cute cheeks puffed out as she grumbled.

The two stared at each other closely, neither willing to back down.

"Those who know, know; I won't say more," Li Zhu said quietly, looking at her somewhat angry face.

"What do you know?" Kyoko's expression was like that of a cute but fierce kitten.

"Perhaps Riri has his own troubles. Everyone has times like this. Please, Kyoko, don't make things difficult for him anymore," Kaoru said, tugging at Kyoko's skirt and smiling as she tried to dissuade her.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered to watch the spectacle.

"Oh, I didn't mean to. I just felt that Li Zhu's tone was a bit unfriendly, so I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry, Zhu Jun is my best friend."

Kyoko realized that her actions were a bit rough, so she immediately loosened her collar, her expression returning to its usual energetic state, and apologized to Riyu apologetically.

In public, she still has to maintain that popular idol persona of being friendly to everyone.

However, what puzzled Kyoko was that she had recently been easily revealing another side of herself in front of Riko, which was a bad sign.

"It's okay, my good friend, can you let me have some peace and quiet first?" Li Zhu straightened her collar and said irritably, her eyes glancing absently at a certain spot, looking empty.

"Okay, if you ever have any troubles, be sure to tell a beautiful girl like me. I will definitely use my inexhaustible energy to heal you."

Kyoko encouraged Riku in what she thought was a very cute voice, and then left with light steps.

Her appearance made Li Zhu stop her chaotic thoughts and look at her with a puzzled expression.

What can I tell you? Some personal secrets, and then let you spread other people's troubles online?

It's fair to say that, apart from Kyoko herself, Riyuki is the one in the class who understands this guy best.

"Is it because of Yuko?"

Xun's attention was focused on Li Zhu, so she keenly noticed where Li Zhu's gaze had been.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhu seemed somewhat surprised, but he did not respond and instead silently looked out the window.

Seeing this, Xun also tacitly stopped asking further questions.

after awhile.

When will this rain stop?

"The rain will stop whenever you want it to stop."

In response to Li Zhu's grumbling, she replied with this meaningful remark.
