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

When she looked up, she saw her mother's ambiguous smile and realized that she had overreacted. Feeling a little embarrassed, she lowered her head again.

"Hmm~, don't want it?"

"...That person is a boy, right?" Hinata Sara guessed, observing Kotone's expression while pretending to be thinking.

My daughter is so easy to understand.

"Let me think... He must be someone special in Xiao Qinyin's heart... I guess he must be her sweetheart?"

Hinata Sara's light words made Kotone tremble slightly, and her mother noticed the brief look of surprise on her face.

"Oh? This guy actually cheated on me while I was pregnant with my precious daughter? That's unforgivable!" Hinata Sara declared without further ado. "I'll have Chika go to the school right now and teach that guy a lesson!"

"no……"

"Isn't that right? Or did you only discover after spending so much time together that he's a frivolous man with bad character who specializes in deceiving innocent girls?" Hinata Sara said indignantly, stroking Kotone's head.

Qin Yin kept her head down silently, looking as if she didn't want to say anything.

"It can't be a perverted stalker who likes to follow teenage girls, can it?"

"It's not really suitable to have a pervert as the Hyuga family's son-in-law," she said, distressed.

The young mother seemed to be belittling Li Zhu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"...None of them are correct."

"..."

Hinata Sara's hand, which was on Kotone's head, paused. After the daughter and mother looked at each other, the sadness in their eyes seemed to connect in that instant.

"He rejected me..." Qin Yin's voice was weak and somewhat hoarse under her mother's gaze.

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes reddened, and she felt an urge to cry.

But Qin Yin stubbornly raised her head, letting tears well up in her eyes, refusing to let them fall.

"So that's how it is..."

The mother sighed softly, pulled the piano into her arms, and gently stroked her daughter's back, trying to soothe her daughter's grievances and sadness.

"Don't cry, don't cry. People from the Hyuga clan must be able to accept defeat. Giving up easily is not a quality that children from the Hyuga clan would have."

Hinata Sara thought that with her daughter's outstanding looks and innocent personality, she would be a sure thing when it came to love. Little did she expect that her daughter would be the one who got rejected...

After all, the entire Hyuga family doted on Hyuga Kotone, even at school. It can be said that Kotone grew up surrounded by the deep love of everyone around her.

As Kotone's mother, she felt that there shouldn't be any man in the world who could refuse her, at least not in Ouran Academy.

That's why she made the assumptions and guesses after tacitly acknowledging that Qin Yin and her sweetheart had already established a relationship.

"You're not even a couple..."

A short while later.

The faint sound of a kitten's cry emanated from the study.

Hinata Kotone had always cried in her mother's arms or on her pillow since she was a child. She would cry louder in her mother's arms, but she would secretly shed tears in bed, so that no one would know.

This time is no exception.

Hinata Sara gently stroked Koto's soft hair, feeling a pang of heartache. A thought suddenly popped into her mind: perhaps she should secretly have Chika investigate this little brat who made her daughter cry like this.

"Mother... promise me you won't blame Li Zhu, okay?" Qin Yin seemed to sense something, raised her head, looked at her mother with her red, tear-filled eyes, and choked out.

"So that little rascal's name is Li Zhu."

The mother tidied the few stray hairs that had fallen from her forehead as she listened to the piano music, and wiped away the tears that had rolled down her cheeks.

"Please promise me, okay?" Qin Yin pleaded.

"Fine, fine, I really don't know what kind of spell that kid cast on you that makes you so protective of him," Hinata Sara said irritably.

Not long after.

Once Hinata Kotone calmed down a bit, under her mother's patient guidance, she told her mother everything about Riki.

"You silly child, who confesses their feelings so soon after breaking up with their boyfriend!"

"what?"

Looking at Kotone's pitiful expression, Hinata Sara had a thought pop into her head: 'This child only inherited my good looks, but not a single bit of my intelligence?'

It must be the child's father's fault, that big idiot Shusuke!

"People who have just broken up are in a state of intense sadness and pain and cannot accept a new relationship for a while. If someone can immediately accept a new relationship after a breakup, they are probably just a frivolous man who plays with people's feelings."

"So, the son-in-law who lives with his wife's family isn't a frivolous man. After all, your mother hates people like that the most."

"Mother~"

Qin Yin meant that Li Zhu wasn't even Qin Yin's boyfriend yet, and her mother's words made her a little shy.

"Don't worry, if my daughter really likes someone, no one can resist her charm. It's only a matter of time before Li Zhu becomes the son-in-law of the Hyuga family."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yin shyly buried her head in her mother's arms.

Hyuga Sara looked at Kotone in his arms and laughed, then said, "Kotone, don't be shy. Back in the day, your mother..."

Qin Yin listened silently as her mother talked on and on, feeling somewhat fascinated.

Hinata Sara recounts her experiences from elementary school to university, describing how she firmly controlled Hinata Shusuke, Kotone's father, and that none of her rivals could match her.

That period of youthful days belonging to our elders.

……

night.

As Qin Yin lay on the soft bed, the scene of her conversation with Li Zhu earlier that day still flashed before her eyes when she closed them.

Today her mother asked her if she really liked pears.

She replied that she didn't know.

"Silly child, you only overthink things if you care. If you don't care, you won't even think about it," Hinata Sara laughed, taking a notebook from the very back of the drawer and handing it to Kotone.

"This contains my past experience in relationships. I never do things blindly. You have to know yourself and your enemy to win every battle, understand?"

Qin Yin nodded, listening intently.

"To win in a relationship, you need some tricks. Remember, you can never have too many ways to win; you should have at least a thousand tricks up your sleeve."

"Follow the instructions in the notes, find an opportunity to learn about him, and when the time is right, strike him dead in one blow." Hinata Sara's eyes shone with a profound light as she encouraged her daughter.

~~~~

As it turned out, Kotone Hinata misunderstood. She thought that knowing oneself and one's enemy meant using the power of the Hinata family to track down Riki, which was the beginning of the misunderstanding.

Unexpectedly, she disrupted Fujiwara Miki's plan to intercept and capture Riki, and she also successfully obtained various "private" information about Riki.

It was a lucky accident, a case of the foolish getting lucky.

She compiled and organized all the information until she understood Li Zhu's daily routine and habits before stopping the surveillance and officially handing him the "challenge letter" that she had been writing for several weeks.

My mother's notes said that when pursuing a boy, it's best to play hard to get, let him fully realize your charm, and make him take the initiative to come to you, so that you can take the initiative in the relationship.

According to her understanding, it became deliberately avoiding talking to Li Zhu, and just creating some small accidents to meet him three times a day.

By the way, Qin Yin also went to great lengths to arrange all the seating in the restaurant, having people fill in any empty seats to ensure that only the two of them were left.

My mother also said that if you want to win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach.

Hinata Kotone, that little genius, thought, "Why not use both methods together? That is, during the fake encounter at the restaurant, I'll eat the food that Riku likes, and then ignore him..."

Well, that's a perfect example of a genius's skills.

Li Zhu was completely unaware of this. He only knew that he found everything tasteless at the time, since the bowl opposite him was full of his favorite foods that he couldn't eat. In addition, he ran into Qin Yin at the restaurant three or four times in a row and realized that something was wrong, so he started to avoid her.

His evasion made Qin Yin doubt whether her plan had failed.

No, she's never actually succeeded with any of these dating tricks. It seems these kinds of dating tactics really don't suit her.

But Qinyin felt there was still plenty of time. With her notes, she wasn't too flustered. Her mother had countless experiences and tricks up her sleeve, and she couldn't play the scheming game. So she simply went straight for the ball!

A bonfire party is a perfect opportunity to do this.

She laid her cards on the table and stopped pretending. This year, she no longer wanted to see those 'couples' dawdling over holding hands and being all lovey-dovey.

Kotone-chan must catch up!

Her plan was to seize Li Zhu's hand amidst the hustle and bustle of the bonfire party, and receive the legendary blessing of Cupid!

As for how to "take advantage of the chaos," we'll discuss that later.

However, things didn't go as planned. A beauty pageant caused her mental state to collapse. Kotone and Yuko inexplicably reached a consensus on some issues, and they both regarded Kaoru as their greatest enemy.

So, is there really still a long time left?

If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'll lose my place in Li Zhu's heart.

She thought anxiously, gazing at the two people chatting and laughing by the campfire, a sense of unprecedented pressure and urgency washing over her.

Therefore, due to various factors, she chose a more radical approach and forcibly kissed Li Zhu!

If kissing was a method devised in a moment of desperation, then this action certainly didn't come out of nowhere.

The scene of Yuko and Riki kissing on the Ferris wheel that day left a very deep impression on her.

Qin Yin sometimes thinks that if she had been nicer when she first met him; or if she had let go of her reserve and spent more time with him; if she had suppressed her shyness when visiting him in the hospital and insisted on staying with him; or even if she had greeted him more often at the school gate and said a few more words each day, there would have been so many more opportunities.

If I could really do that, then the person holding hands and kissing Riyu on the Ferris wheel wouldn't be Yuko, right?

Hinata Kotone believed that her purity of love was second to none.

Perhaps a seed was planted there, and it is only now sprouting and growing.

She wanted to ask Li Zhu a question, but unconsciously the question turned to kissing. Based on his answer, Qin Yin could tell that Li Zhu didn't dislike kissing, and even liked it to some extent.

He said he doesn't have anyone he likes and doesn't dislike kissing. Therefore, Li Zhu must be waiting for someone to give him a passionate and unforgettable kiss!

In a moment of impulse, Qin Yin's body and subconscious mind aligned, and she decided to forcefully kiss him!

-

"Where did you learn this lewd trick?"

"you guess?"

Seeing the dumbfounded expression on Riku's face, Hinata Kotone suppressed her overwhelming joy and said this.

……

Chapter 131 Deceiving Little Hands

Beside the campfire.

Not only Li Zhu, but everyone around her was also looking at each other in bewilderment and doubting themselves.

"Did I see wrong? The disciplinary committee member just forcibly kissed Li Zhu!"

"Very likely, because I think I misread it too."

"I think this must be the legendary group hypnosis!"

"It was just a normal kiss! You guys are really something!"

The main reason is Hyuga Kotone. It's normal for most people to be extremely surprised that the young lady of the Hyuga family would do something so shocking.

"I like Riki-chan and I also like Hinata Kotone. It should be a double happiness, so why do I feel so sad after seeing this scene?"

"How many is this now? Li Zhu must be a heartbreaker by now, right?"

"Coach, I want to learn this too!"

"Pear Blessing the Kingdom of One!"

"I'm so jealous of someone like her who's so popular! Kotone-chan should be mine! Rizuki, you scoundrel, die!"

Amidst the banter, everyone gradually rediscovered themselves, while Xun stood frozen in place, clutching a piece of wood in both hands, seemingly still somewhat at a loss.

Kaoru was like the next victim. Kotone also went blank after seeing Yuko and Riyu kiss.

As fate would have it, today it was finally Qin Yin's turn to shine, while Xun became an outsider, watching everything unfold.

"Kiss?!"

"Isn't this something only couples can do?"
