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

So, on Monday morning, Li Zhu went to school as usual, but she felt a little unaccustomed to not having her mother's nagging before she left home.

Ouran High School's class hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. before students can leave.

There are no evening self-study sessions, which is very considerate.

As usual, early in the morning, Disciplinary Committee member Hinata Kotone and the members of the Disciplinary Committee stood at the school gate, dressed neatly, to take attendance.

Hinata Kotone had her hair tied in a neat single ponytail. She had a slender and graceful figure, and her face was free of makeup yet she was pure and beautiful. She had a pair of sharp phoenix eyes, and a beautiful beauty mark under the corner of her left eye, which made her look even more aloof.

Her expression remained aloof and serious as always, her eyes sharp, never letting any student who violated school rules escape punishment.

"Lord Qinyin is so handsome!!"

Some female students, upon seeing the dashing and spirited Hinata Kotone, immediately had lustful eyes, their faces flushed with an unnatural blush, and they couldn't help but squeeze their legs together.

"Hey, this is a public place, Huizi, watch your image!" A female classmate nudged her infatuated companion with her elbow.

"You two, come here!" At that moment, Hinata Kotone's clear and melodious voice came from not far away, pointing at the two of them.

Upon seeing Hinata Kotone's icy expression, the two felt a chill run down their spines.

One thought, "Did I do something to upset Hinata-neechan?" The other thought, "Oh no, the disciplinary committee is notoriously strict. We must have done something wrong to upset her."

Each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and they walked up to her with their heads down.

Hinata Kotone said to the girl named Keiko, "Keiko Kobayashi, how many times has this happened? Your collar is all messed up. Fix it and button up your school uniform while you're at it."

Then, turning to Keiko's friend Hayakawa, he casually buttoned it up for her. "You too, since it's your first offense, remember to button it up next time."

Thump thump—

Hayakawa looked at that face so close to his own and couldn't help but swallow hard. How could there be such a beautiful and dignified face in the world, without any flaws, with cold and deep eyes, and clear and refreshing words that touched his heart.

She felt herself falling into the river of love named Hinata Kotone, and couldn't help but be intoxicated by Hinata Kotone's eyes. Her heart, which had been dormant for sixteen years, began to beat wildly.

"Hayakawa, hey, Hayakawa, what are you spacing out for? Hey, hey!"

When they came to their senses, they had already entered the Ouran High School campus. Keiko, who was standing next to her, shook her shoulder vigorously and asked with a worried look on her face.

"Ah, I'm fine, I'm fine, Keiko."

"Really? Why is your face so red? That's so strange. Are you sick?" Huizi felt that her best friend was acting a little strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"I'm not sick, don't talk nonsense. Okay, okay, let's go into the classroom."

The girl named Hayakawa nervously urged her companion to hurry up and walk forward, while glancing back at Hinata Kotone, who was still taking attendance. Her heart started pounding again.

A young girl's love comes like a gust of wind; even a glance at the person she admires makes her heart flutter, and she feels that the whole air is sweet.

Goodness, she's attractive to both men and women; the female protagonist's charm in this game is truly outrageous.

"Lady Kotone is as beautiful as ever today!" The boys were no exception, whispering among themselves in the distance.

"Yes, it is such a blessing to see Lady Kotone every day. Is this a gift from heaven? If Lady Kotone were no longer here, how would I live?"

"To be honest, I was more than satisfied with just one glare from Lady Qinyin, as if she were looking at a bug."

"I really want to be trampled under Qin Yin's feet, how awesome would that be?"

"I really want to be Lady Kotone's dog."

"What if Lady Kotone likes cats?"

"..."

Li Zhu, mixed in with these guys, was like a wolf mixed in with huskies. They had nothing in common, and their remarks gave Li Zhu goosebumps.

Sigh, if he wasn't afraid of being noticed by Hinata Kotone, he wouldn't have ended up among this group of sycophants.

However, Li Zhu is also about to reach her limit.

Along the way, these crazy and eccentric people kept pushing the boundaries of his understanding of the world. You have to understand that this is not the kind of illness that happens online in my previous life. This is a real illness in reality, and it's a collective illness.

Li Zhu even felt a pang of regret, thinking that it would have been better if Hinata Kotone had recognized her.

Hey, you over there, come here!

Just what I feared most came true. Hearing that voice, Li Zhu wanted to slap herself. What a jinx!

Huh, why did these guys suddenly riot? Did they just have a good time?

"Lady Kotone is calling me, I'm coming right away!"

"Get lost! Lady Kotone was talking about me!"

"Bullshit! Lady Kotone was clearly pointing at me! All of you, get out of my way!!"

Li Zhu takes back what she just said. These amazing guys are really awesome. We have to hold on. I'm going to go for a drink now.

"Everyone stand still! What do you idiots think you're doing!" Hinata Kotone pulled out a whip from who-knows-where and lashed it on the ground, her expression icy cold and extremely intimidating.

Everyone unconsciously stopped in their tracks.

Li Zhu:? ? ?

Li Zhu, who was not far away, was shocked. Wait, where did she get a whip? Can a disciplinary committee member bring this thing to school?

"You bunch of idiots, what are you all making a fuss about? Get to the track and run thirty laps. If I find anyone missing a lap, hmph, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale, but dared not disobey, and went to receive their punishment with their heads hanging low.

I was just praising you guys, and you only bought me less than three seconds. You crazy, irrational people are utterly useless.

Li Zhu secretly chuckled at Hinata Kotone's domineering attitude. 'This girl really has some serious official airs! A mere disciplinary committee member dares to be so arrogant? Does she think Ouran High School is her family's property? Uh, her dad really is a school board member, never mind then.'

I can't afford to offend them. Seeing that things are going badly, I'm outta here.

"If you dare take another step, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhu froze, slowly turning his head. He knew the words were directed at him.

In the end, he couldn't escape her eagle eyes.

Hinata Kotone was seen playing with the whip in her hand, her eyes narrowed, and a dangerous smile on her face.

"Come here." Hinata Kotone beckoned, gesturing for Riku to come closer to her.

Hinata Kotone carefully examined Riki's face, smiled, nodded in satisfaction, and put down the whip in her hand.

Those around her were quite shocked. It turned out that this decisive and serious disciplinary committee member could be so charming when she smiled. This was the first time she had ever smiled at a boy.

Everyone cast curious glances at Li Zhu.

The boy casually straightened his suit and school uniform tie, and checked his clothes, bags, and overall appearance. He was dressed very neatly, then spoke calmly and indifferently.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with, Disciplinary Committee member?"

"Yes, may I ask which class this student is in? What's their name?"

Hinata Kotone smiled, and even her tone of voice softened, completely losing her usual aloofness. She was like a girl next door meeting an old friend, full of surprise, doubt, curiosity, and resentment.

"The disciplinary committee member could easily find out my class and name, why bother asking me personally?"

"But I really want to hear you say it to me in person," Hinata Kotone said playfully to Riku.

"I don't want to talk about it," Li Zhu replied with a pout, clearly not wanting to engage with her.

"You! You bastard! I order you to speak!" Hinata Kotone was taken aback and immediately glared angrily at Riku.

What does he mean by ignoring me? How dare he look down on me! No one has ever dared to look at me like that before!

"I won't say anything, but you, a disciplinary committee member, are meddling in other people's business?"

"You're really something! You're not leaving until you tell me!"

Riri's unyielding attitude nearly drove Hinata Kotone to madness.

"You're being unreasonable."

"I'm not being unreasonable."

The scene before them left onlookers so astonished that their jaws nearly dislocated.

If everyone was only slightly surprised that Hyuga Kotone would smile at a strange man, they were now completely stunned by what they saw.

Is this really the aloof goddess we know? The Hyuga clan's eldest daughter, Kotone Hyuga, who always acts like a disciplinary committee member who keeps strangers at bay and never smiles, is actually flirting with a boy in public today.

Li Zhu:?

Weren't we arguing? This guy's one-sided unreasonable behavior has turned into us flirting.

Yes, from an outsider's perspective, they appear to be flirting. The aloof goddess Hinata Kotone is being affectionate with a seemingly ordinary guy?!

What's most puzzling is how this man could remain so calm in the face of Lady Qinyin, and how he actually refused Lady Qinyin's requests several times.

How dare he do that?

On one side was a disciplinary committee member jumping up and down in a panic, and on the other side was a boy with an indifferent expression, even a hint of disdain.

The crowd of onlookers gathered, and discussions began to simmer around them. Li Zhu sensed something was wrong, realizing that this was attracting too much attention, and changed her mind.

"Okay, okay, stop messing around. I'll tell you, alright?"

"Hmph, you're smart enough to know your place." Hinata Kotone retracted the whip she was about to swing and muttered.

"Class D, Grade 11, Li Zhu."

"Li Zhu, Li Zhu?"

"Um, can I go now?"

Seeing the increasingly awkward atmosphere around her, all the gazes—some envious, some jealous, some gnashing their teeth—were focused on Li Zhu alone, both men and women.

Oh no, the female lead is really a troublemaker. I need to find a way to get out of here quickly; I can't delay any longer.

"No! There's something else I want to ask you!"

"Don't you have a job? Are disciplinary committee members all that idle? Everyone's watching you."

"you!"

"We can talk about it another time. Goodbye!" Ignoring the shouts behind her, Li Zhu quickly escaped from the crowded throng.

"Excuse me, excuse me, don't block the way, class is about to start."

After struggling to squeeze out of the crowd, Li Zhu sighed again, "This game setting is really outrageous. What's wrong with this group of people? It's just a matter of saying a few words to the female lead. Why are they surrounding us like this?"

Moreover, in Li Zhu's opinion, Hinata Kotone wasn't that good-looking.

Or is the heroine's charm like an incredibly tempting poisoned apple to these natives of the game world?

Chapter Nine: Kyoko Kazanin

"Good morning, Li Zhu."

Good morning, Kazama-kun.

Since the beginning of this semester, every morning, regardless of the weather, Li Zhu has seen her deskmate Kaoru Kazama sitting in her seat reading.

After spending time together, he felt more than once that no amount of praise was too much for such a girl, describing her as quiet and beautiful, humble and polite, poised and generous, diligent and eager to learn.

She won't bother you while you're working, won't cause a lot of trouble, will help you when you need her, is gentle and virtuous, and is just as good-looking as the female lead. Well, as for her figure, let's not talk about it for now. She's very suitable to be a... cough cough.

Hmph, so angry! How is our Kazama Kaoru inferior to those heroines? Is the game planner's brain filled with gluten? Does this mean that you can't be a heroine without some special attributes these days?

What are you thinking about? I get the feeling you're thinking about something rude.

When Li Zhu came to her senses, she met Kaoru Kazama's clear and gentle almond-shaped eyes. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her thin cherry lips parted slightly. She was as adorable as ever today.

"Ahem, I was wondering what I ate for breakfast?" Li Zhu rubbed her nose and changed the subject.

stare--

for a long time.

"Li Zhu is indeed a very strange person."

"Huh? What are you saying?" Li Zhu didn't hear what she said.

"It's nothing." Kaoru Kazama gave him a meaningful look, then continued reading her book.

The two stopped talking.

Luo Xiali was completely baffled. After thinking for a long time, she finally came to a conclusion: she never expected that Kazama Kaoru was also a riddle person.

Sigh, when will I be able to find a normal girlfriend?

Ever since that day when Riki woke up in Sakurai Yuko's bed, the scene of touching her face had been haunting him. That itchy feeling in his heart suddenly made him want to find a girlfriend.
