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

Riki guessed that Kujo might still be upset about his rejection, but unexpectedly, she also tried to use the same tactic as Kotone.

However, no matter what she asks, I will not answer truthfully.

"What is your relationship with Hinata Kotone?" Kujo smiled and asked casually.

It may seem like she asked a useless question, but that's not the case. Kujo's target isn't just Riki, but also Hinata Kotone. No matter how much Riki guards himself, can he really let that stupid woman Hinata Kotone control him?

Even if Kotone didn't reveal anything, doesn't this further prove that Hinata Kotone is hiding something, and that Riki and Hinata Kotone have a close relationship?

"We are classmates." ×2

“Uh…” Li Zhu and Qin Yin looked at each other, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Riki and Hinata Kotone spoke at the same time, a scene that caught everyone off guard, including Kujo.

She truly didn't expect this to happen.

How can we tell whether it's a tacit understanding between the two people or just a coincidence?

At this moment, Li Zhu, as the person involved, couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment, and couldn't help but look at Hinata Kotone, feeling an urge to facepalm.

Hey lady, why are you mimicking me? Besides, you're not the one asking the question!

Hinata Kotone realized she had said the wrong thing, and her fair face turned as red as a ripe peach. She quickly turned her head away, facing the curtain, not daring to look at the expressions of the crowd.

"Are you really classmates?" One looked shy, while the other remained calm. Kujo couldn't quite judge their relationship, so he asked instinctively.

“Apart from that, there’s no other relationship.” Li Zhu coughed twice and reminded him calmly, “Also, this is the second question.”

"..."

Kujo was taken aback by his words, and immediately narrowed his eyes, his gaze gradually turning cold, and a dangerous emotion seemed to be brewing in the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Um, sorry, I spoke too quickly, I'm so sorry." Li Zhu quickly realized her dissatisfaction and immediately explained.

After a moment's hesitation, Kujo's smile grew even sweeter. "It's alright, I'll give you my vote too."

Li Zhu's eyelids twitched, and a chill ran down his spine. It wasn't for any other reason than that he couldn't feel any warmth in this woman's smile, or rather, she had no intention of letting Li Zhu off so easily.

The domineering nature of the Kujo family is ingrained in their bones. Riki has offended her time and time again, so it's no wonder that Kujo, with her personality, would not easily forgive her.

“I gave my ticket too,” someone next to me interjected.

"But your conversation is really interesting. Hey, Kujo, you haven't fallen for Riki yet, have you?" Nagakawa Chiyuki, oblivious to the atmosphere, asked with a smile, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“Everyone has a mouth, but not everyone can speak like a human being. I'm sure you understand what I mean, right?” Kujo’s eyes turned icy cold, and everyone instinctively fell silent, their anger palpable.

This was the first time that Kujo Marie and Nagakawa Chiyuki had displayed such a tense atmosphere in public.

Sure enough, for someone like Kujo, being second best all the time must be incredibly frustrating, even humiliating. The friction between the two of them may have been brewing for a long time, but it's only now that it's starting to show itself in public.

"What do you think, Riyuki?" Chiyuki Nagakawa asked Riyuki as if nothing had happened.

Kujo also looked at him.

An ordinary person, when faced with the gazes of two beauties, would appear nervous on the surface but be overjoyed inside; but Li Zhu was the complete opposite, forcing a smile on the surface while feeling extremely depressed inside.

A classic battle of gods, where mortals suffer.

Li Zhu's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to speak, "I only have feelings for Kujo-kun as a classmate, nothing special, and I don't think Kujo-kun would like me anyway."

Upon hearing Riki's words, Kujo laughed in anger, "Oh? You think I, Kujo Marie, am not qualified to be your wife?"

"???"

Oh dear, this person has serious reading comprehension problems; that's not what we meant at all!

Li Zhu quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. It's just that I'm not good enough for you. Kujo-kun is outstanding in every way. Someone as ordinary as me is really not worthy of you."

"Rather than saying, someone as outstanding as Chairman Kujo has always been someone I admire," Riyu added, offering a simple compliment.

"Then why did you refuse to join the student council?"

……

Chapters 123: Disputes and Reconciliation

"Since you admire someone as outstanding as me, why do you refuse to join the student council?" Kujo's tone was like a superior's reprimand, making one uncomfortable.

"You're not lying to me, are you? You're trying to fool me?!"

Oh no, this woman's intuition is a little too sharp.

Kujo's words sent a chill down Li Zhu's spine. At that moment, she crossed her arms, her gaze icy, and took only one step forward. The fox on her wine-red dress seemed to come alive, and an indescribable aura suddenly surged from her.

Seeing that Riyu didn't reply, Kujo took a few steps forward and stood directly in the center of the stage. She looked around at everyone, and finally her gaze fell on Riyu. She chuckled and then said lightly, "Hehe, if anyone dares to openly fool the Kujo family, then be prepared to bear the wrath of the Kujo family."

Her words were pointed and seemed to be a threat.

The audience fell silent, and everyone on stage looked serious. The atmosphere of the beauty pageant had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. It seemed that Kujo was about to publicly sever ties.

Whether you call it luck or not, those born in Rome have a huge advantage over others, which is an insurmountable gap for ordinary people.

Although she rarely uses the Kujo family's background to intimidate others, it doesn't mean she never does. Kujo isn't stupid, so why would she give up her innate advantages and be on equal footing with others?

If she doesn't leverage her family background, people will think she's out of her mind.

"Hehe, too scared to speak now?" Kujo thought Riki was frightened by her words, and her cold face suddenly broke into a smile. "If you admit in public that you lied to me, I might be able to forgive you~"

One second his face was filled with icy anger, the next he smiled like a forsythia swaying in the spring breeze, making him unpredictable.

It is said that Kujo Marie is a capricious person. When Rin was trying to win her over in her previous life, she had already experienced this firsthand. Kujo is like the final boss of a game. Her brutality, her indifference, and her domineering nature have cast a shadow over all players. To this day, no one has been able to conquer this insurmountable peak.

Whether in the game or outside the game.

Given Kujo's personality, it's likely that what she's saying now is the biggest lie. If Riki were to admit to the deception, she would surely face "utter ruin."

At that time, the Kujo family could openly unleash their "anger" on Riki, an ordinary person with no power or influence, and the probability of this happening is extremely high.

Never underestimate the tyranny of capitalist families; from the moment capital was born, their hands are stained with blood.

“Well… I have my own reasons for not joining the student council, and I’m not lying. I admire outstanding people and see them as role models. Everyone with ambition would feel the same way.” Li Zhu forced herself to meet those cold eyes. He didn’t admit anything, but tried to explain to her in a gentle tone.

Kujo's repeated aggressiveness had also angered him, but when he thought of the powerful background of the Kujo family, he shut up. He couldn't let his momentary dissatisfaction drag his mother into it.

Li Zhu dared not make any unnecessary movements. For some reason, he thought of the hidden plot: the destruction of the Kujo family. Perhaps in the near future, the hidden plot would come true.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Kujo's smile faded as he looked at Riku standing there dumbfounded and asked in a teasing tone.

"Hmph, is the Kujo family so nosy? Others can come or not, but does your student council have the right to force them in?" Hinata Kotone's face was tense, her eyes filled with sarcasm, and her tone was more than three times colder than usual!

Kotone felt a surge of anger for no reason when she saw Kujo Marie say such things to Riki.

"Didn't Aunt Hinata teach you that it's impolite to interrupt when others are speaking?" Kujo suddenly turned her head and glared at Kotone.

"What, is this what the Kujo family taught you: to intimidate others with power? The wrath of the Kujo family? How laughable!" Others might have been afraid, but Kotone would only respond head-on!

"Hyuga Kotone, do you want to die?!" Kujo said in a low voice, his expression burning with anger, gritting his teeth as he spat out each word.

"Tch, if you don't want to live, come on over here!" Hinata Kotone retorted defiantly, her beautiful eyebrows raised.

The Hyuga and Kujo families were mortal enemies, and today is the perfect opportunity to settle both old and new scores!

"Ahem, this is a beauty pageant, please stop arguing."

At the crucial moment, it was actually Kaoru who spoke up to mediate. But that wasn't all. What shocked Li Zhu the most was that although Kujou and Kotone were genuinely angry, they suppressed their anger after hearing what Kaoru said.

Does Xun really have that much influence?

"Heh~" Kujo chuckled, put his hands behind his head, smoothed his long, smooth, black hair, and returned to his original position with a victor's pose.

Kotone looked disdainful and ignored Kujo's actions.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Xiaobaihe paused for a few seconds before slowly walking out from the corner, explaining with an apologetic smile, "Um, just now, it was just a small misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart, the contestants have a very good relationship in private."

"Kudo-san, please don't talk nonsense. I have no intention of getting close to anyone," Kotone suddenly reminded her.

Sayuri was stunned by Kotone's sudden rebuke and didn't know how to respond.

"Hehe, how childish," Kujo laughed.

"The one who calls others childish is the childish one," Qin Yin said, turning her head to glare at her.

"Tch, everyone can see who's more childish, don't you think?"

No one dared to respond to Kujo's words, including Sayuri, who stood awkwardly in the center of the stage, trembling as she held the microphone, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Kotone felt annoyed at Kujo's smirking face and was about to retaliate when Kaoru reminded her again. In the end, the two could only exchange a glance and then fall silent.

With the matter seemingly settled, Sayuri once again began hosting with a heavy heart. This time, she refused to mention anything about the two of them, fearing it might trigger "World War III."

Li Zhu ignored the two women arguing because of him, and instead kept looking at Xun, scrutinizing her from left to right, trying to glean something from her pretty face.

He really couldn't understand why Xun's words could make the two of them stop talking.

Xun noticed Li Zhu's curious gaze and immediately returned it with an apologetic look. She must have felt sorry for not speaking up for Li Zhu immediately.

Li Zhu nodded in acknowledgment, even giving a reassuring smile. It was unclear whether he understood the other person's feelings; he just nodded haphazardly...

"After a round of questioning, it was confirmed that all the boys except Li Zhu abstained. Li Zhu ultimately received a total of nine votes from the contestants present. So let's congratulate Li Zhu on becoming this year's boys' champion! Let's applaud and cheer for the newly crowned campus idol!" Xiao Baihe announced the final results, walked over, and took Li Zhu's hand.

"I'm the champion?" Li Zhu came to her senses and found herself already in the center of the stage.

The audience suddenly fell silent, then scattered applause roused everyone, and people chanted Riku's name. The applause and cheers from the audience mingled, temporarily dispelling the tense atmosphere caused by Kujo's argument.

Apart from Kotone and Kujo, everyone on the stage congratulated Riki and applauded him.

But no one noticed that ever since Chiyuki Nagakawa's words sparked the conflict between Kujo and Riki, she had a humble and polite smile on her face the whole time. It was unclear whether she was happy to see Riki in trouble, or watching Hinata Kotone and Kujo argue, or simply wanted to see a chaotic scene.

In short, it's hard to understand what she's thinking behind her smile.

In this virtual game world, what roles do the Kujo family and the Hinata family, the Nagakawa family and the Kazama family play in this chaotic relationship?

First, second, and fourth choices

The late autumn nights always bring a gentle chill, but they can't dampen the enthusiasm of the students at Ouran High School.

All the lights shone on Riki, and he received applause and cheers from almost everyone that night, including promises to Shimazuga to win the championship. But after accomplishing all this, Riki didn't feel much joy; instead, he felt that trouble was constantly on his mind.

He hadn't originally planned to participate in the competition, but then he overheard Shimazuga lying in bed muttering, "What a pity, I won't get to see the dazzling lights of Ouran High School Host Club tonight, or the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. I didn't win the sports festival, so I'm going to miss it again..."

Li Zhu regretted that his hearing was too good. Even though this kid had betrayed him many times, he was still grateful to Shimazu He for protecting him from Fujiwara Miki's harm on campus during that time.

Even though he was unaware of it, Li Zhu was still grateful to him and remembered her friend's kindness.

Without further ado, the competition has reached its final stage.

"Next, it's the women's group's turn. Who would like to be the first to campaign for votes?" Xiaobaihe was as nervous as a frightened bird. She didn't dare to name anyone and instead asked in a pleading manner.

She glanced at the expressions of the other women and saw Kyoko about to raise her hand, eager to take the lead. She was overjoyed.

Another girl spoke up first, "Ah, why don't we just speed things up and let Li Zhu choose one of them as the girls' champion?"

The speaker was Chiyuki Nagakawa. She put her finger to her lips, nodded after speaking, and thought her idea was great.

"That doesn't make sense, does that mean everyone else's votes are just invalidated?" Li Zhu widened her eyes and immediately responded.

"Damn it, this woman wants me dead! If I had that veto power, whoever I chose, the other four couldn't hold a grudge. I'm not doing something that offends people like that!"

Sayuri echoed Riku's words, "That's right, the rule proposed by Nagakawa-kun is a bit too much..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chiyuki Nagakawa added, "Do you think the other girls' votes are more important than the champion's votes? If you don't believe me, ask the other girls if they really want Riki to give them their votes."

"Um, what do you guys think?" Sayuri turned to look at the other four people, following Chiyuki Nagakawa's words.

“I think it’s a good idea. The votes for Rin are indeed quite important, especially for some people.” After saying that, Kujo first looked at Nagakawa Chiyuki, smiled contemptuously, and then turned his gaze to Hinata Kotone.

"Although this rule is very illogical, as long as a champion can be selected, it's fine." Hinata Kotone didn't originally want to say this, but as the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly became very concerned about who Riki would ultimately choose.

Qin Yin's gaze made Li Zhu feel a little uneasy.

Under pressure, Riku had no choice but to speak up again, "What about Sakuragi-senpai and the others? I'm the only one with a ticket. Isn't that giving special treatment?! This is very inappropriate!"

Unexpectedly, Sakuragi-senpai looked like he'd seen a ghost, his usually squinty eyes widening instantly. He hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, we just forfeited. Little brother Riki, you don't need to worry about us."

"Mmm-hmm!" The others nodded in agreement, their voices strong even though they weren't entirely convinced of their point.

He turned around and saw the righteous and awe-inspiring looks on the faces of his seniors, and he was dumbfounded.

The sky is azure, and there are origami cranes outside the window.

At that moment, Li Zhu felt like a homeless puppy, as if she had been abandoned.

"Damn it, guys, don't sell me out!"

'If you don't go to hell, who will? You should bear this burden alone; we're just extras.'
