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

……

Chapter 139 Even insomnia is so tacitly understood.

There are many reasons for insomnia.

For example, someone ate a bowl of egg noodles before going to bed.

For example, there were quite a few bizarre things that happened today, which were quite memorable, plus an extremely beautiful woman forcibly kissed you.

Everyone gets a little excited and can't fall asleep before bed, right? (Thoughts from a normal man)

"That Hinata Kotone is really reckless..." Riki muttered to herself in the darkness.

Today, no, tonight's events are quite "exciting." Perhaps only late at night can Li Zhu calm down and think about those seemingly chaotic problems, and unravel some useful information from them.

As for why Hinata Kotone suddenly made such a fuss in front of everyone after being silent for a few days, Riki couldn't figure it out, so she put it aside for the time being.

The reason he didn't mention it was because he discovered something amazing!

Tonight, he finally confirmed that there was a very high probability that Kaoru was a member of the Kazama family, or at the very least, that they were closely related.

Previously, when Sakuragi-senpai talked about those top-tier families, he was particularly concerned about the Kazama family, which represented neutrality, since there was only one Kazama Kaoru in the entire school.

Curiosity aside, Kaoru is usually quite low-key, and Li Zhu didn't feel comfortable speaking up in front of such a humble and polite girl. However, it was only when Kaoru suddenly intervened tonight to mediate the dispute between Kujo and Kotone that he dared to be certain that Kaoru and the Kazama family were definitely related.

This is also why Li Zhu chose Xun when faced with the life-or-death question of the beauty pageant – choosing a neutral family would reduce unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Zhu sighed, "Will Kujo really let me go? Maybe choosing Hinata Kotone wouldn't be bad, just openly going against Kujo."

"Yes, it can be used as a temporary hiding place for energy sources. If we are forced to seek refuge with Qin Yin someday, it will be a good way out."

"By the way, I don't know if Kyoko's anti-student council organization is reliable or not, but we can make use of it and incite them to rise up, 'Does Kujo have any guts?!' Even if we can't bring her down, we can at least keep her from worrying about herself."

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the nine points are unfavorable to him, and the actual implementation of the plan is an extremely difficult problem.

To put it bluntly, Riki is not good at scheming. Trying to outwit Kujo is like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu.

His initial thought was simply to live a peaceful and ordinary life. Oh well, he ended up like this because he was stupid; there were countless better solutions, weren't there...?

And tonight, we can't forget to mention that poor man, Kira, who actually likes Kaoru.

This was something Li Zhu hadn't anticipated.

However, when he thought about how that guy would come to talk to him whenever he had free time, it seemed that everything could be traced back to something else.

Actually, Kira and Riki weren't very close to each other. They just happened to be in the same junior high school. And back then, Riki didn't care about anyone. She wasn't even familiar with her classmates, let alone a mere classmate.

If he hadn't been so persistent in trying to get close to Li Zhu, acting like they were old friends, Li Zhu wouldn't have even known they were once classmates.

That guy must have approached Li Zhu because of Xun, but why did he hide it for so long and choose to reveal his feelings tonight?

Of course, Riyu didn't know, because this was something he had brought upon himself. If he hadn't chosen Kaoru, Kira He wouldn't have confessed out of a sense of crisis, and neither would Kotone.

In some situations, if no one makes a choice, people are always happy to maintain a delicate balance. But once someone breaks the balance, a lot of trouble will follow.

Just like in an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

"It's pretty absurd that Kira needed my permission to confess to Kaoru," Riyu said with a wry smile.

Now that I think about it, the things Kira said to him before he confessed his feelings seem a little strange to me.

Because what that guy said sounded like he'd fallen for a kitten and was begging the kitten's owner to allow him to express his love to the kitten—that's roughly the feeling.

Li Zhu would like to clarify that Xun is not his kitten; this is just a metaphor and does not represent his personal opinion. Please do not apply it to reality.

"I hope Kira won't blame me for his failed confession. I've always supported him, and of course I'm incredibly sad for him as a friend. Waaaaah... Hehehe~"

Kira's confession failed, and Riki laughed the loudest.

Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent.

However, getting rid of Fujiwara Miki is really urgent!

This guy has once again shattered Li Zhu's understanding tonight; she was able to subdue her in less than a second.

What kind of crazy setting did the game designers add to her? It's too outrageous. Thinking about it this way, the fact that Shimazu He could beat her makes him even more of a monster.

As a time traveler, it seems I don't have any cheat codes.

"No way, I'm going out to buy candy tomorrow! I refuse to believe I can't handle Hoshino Teru!"

-

Insomnia may not be unique to anyone, but it may be something we all share.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, in a luxuriously decorated villa.

On an exquisite and luxurious large bed.

Hinata Kotone suddenly pulled the blanket off her head, revealing adorable panda eyes, a wildly upturned smile, and clear eyes that shone with an inexplicable brilliance in the darkness.

"Hehe, I've kissed someone now, I've grown up, Kotone-chan, you did it, that's amazing!" She grabbed the top edge of the blanket with both hands and smiled sweetly.

"I'm sorry~"

Qin Yin was so excited that every time she closed her eyes, she could think of the scene of kissing Li Zhu. Thinking of his cute expression of surprise and astonishment, her cheeks would flush with an inexplicable heat, and her long legs would involuntarily clamp the quilt between them, tossing and turning on the bed.

"Hahaha~"

She buried her head in the blanket again and let out a strange laugh.

Only when it's late at night and no one is around do people take off their disguises and reveal their true selves, and Qin Yin is no exception.

"Waaaaah, what should I do next~"

With her pajamas disheveled and her hair a mess, she resembled a silly husky, making a complete mess of her owner's home. She seemed to relish watching her owner get furious while she wagged her tail and grinned foolishly at her handiwork.

And he was already planning the next time...

"It's a pity I couldn't invite Riyu to the Hinata family as a guest... It's all Chika's fault!" After calming down, Kotone gently pounded the blanket and huffed.

"If she hadn't been driving so fast, I wouldn't have felt weak in the legs and nauseous, which prevented me from forcing him... well, I politely invited him into the car..."

Just now, Hinata Kotone's mother had been waiting for Riki's arrival in the hall for a long time. She had even prepared tea and prepared difficult questions, but Riki never came.

Despite her disappointment, Hinata Sara seemed very confident in her daughter, Kotone, believing that she could definitely win over the man.

Chika also had a high opinion of Li Zhu, not only because of her handsome appearance, but also because she noticed that Li Zhu's eyes were clear and calm, and that steady temperament from the inside out was not like that of a freshman in high school. On the contrary, it was something that someone her age would have.

Of course, she didn't know that Li Zhu was a time traveler, so she attributed it all to the broken family that gave Li Zhu the opportunity to grow up.

Just as the music was playing and she was lost in her emotions, someone suddenly interrupted the spell.

"Huh? Is the young lady still awake?"

Chika opened the door, and dim light shone in from the corridor. Looking at the figure twisted up on the bed, she yawned and asked.

"Wow!"

"So, it was Chika-nee all along..." Kotone was startled by Chika's sudden voice, and her heart jumped into her throat.

In the darkness, Chika couldn't see Kotone's flustered expression and flushed cheeks.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just hungry, so I got up to find something to eat. By the way, is Miss having trouble sleeping?"

……

Chapter 140 This is not a dream

"Is Miss having trouble sleeping?"

As Qianhua spoke, she walked over, turned on the bedside lamp, and skillfully slipped into Qinyin's quilt.

"Yes, a little."

Qin Yin felt a little guilty and carefully moved her to a different spot, afraid that she might notice something.

Just like when they were little, Chika would always sneak over to sleep with her on rainy days.

"Hehe, is it because of the son-in-law?" Qianhua touched Qinyin's face, squinted her eyes, and said with a smile.

"No, no, I wasn't thinking about how to invite him out tomorrow!" Qin Yin, that simpleton, confessed without being asked.

"Hmm, so you really are thinking about men, Miss. You've really grown up." Chika's smile deepened, her words seemingly tinged with emotion, but mostly teasing.

"Chika-nee is so annoying~"

Qinyin pushed away Qianhua's face, pulled the blanket over her head, turned around, and faced away from her.

Seeing this, Qianhua laughed and said, "Pfft, I'm 100% confident I can invite him out to play. Don't you want to hear it, Miss?"

after awhile.

The blanket was laid down, and the kitten turned around, revealing a pair of curious eyes, its expression deliberately feigning indifference, as if waiting for what would happen next.

"You're not lying to me?"

"of course."

Then Chika whispered some suggestions in her ear, her expression exaggerated and vivid, making it seem like she wasn't just saying it casually.

Of course, she wasn't just saying it casually. Although she had never been in a relationship, she had read no less than fifty romance comics. She could be considered a master of relationships, so how could she be talking nonsense?

Qin Yin's expression first showed suspicion, then thoughtfulness, and finally complete conviction.

But then he asked nervously, "So, are we really going to do this tomorrow?"

"The sooner the better!"

……

The next day.

It was another sunny day, but the winter sun didn't bring much warmth. A dry, cold wind was blowing outside the window, and pedestrians were wrapped in thick down jackets.

With a drawn-out groan, Li Zhu opened her eyes and prepared to get out of bed.

Saturdays when I can sleep in until I naturally wake up are great!

At this time,

A sweet and gentle voice came from beside her ear, "Li Zhu, you're awake. Would you like to take a shower first, or have breakfast, or perhaps... eat... me first?"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Zhu looked over and froze instantly.

Qin Yin sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, wearing the new apron that her mother had always been reluctant to wear. Her long hair was tied up and tucked to the right front. Her eyes were full of doting affection, and her dark circles added a touch of haggardness, showing the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

The pretty woman standing to the side looked somewhat familiar; she seemed to be the woman in sunglasses from the driver's seat last time. She was carrying a plate of sandwiches and milk, with a friendly smile, just like a dedicated maid.

"Haha, it must be another dream. I can't believe I'm having this kind of dream. I guess I've been under a lot of pressure lately."

Li Zhu laughed, shook her head, and lay back down, pulling the blanket up to cover herself properly.

He closed his eyes, his face serene.

"This is not a dream."

"Son-in-law, the sun's already high in the sky, aren't you getting up yet?"

It looked like a crow flew across the room, leaving behind six black dots that represented embarrassment.

Although I don't know what happened, their voices sounded so real that it was definitely not a dream.

Li Zhu suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed a pillow to shield herself, and yelled, "Damn it! How did you guys get into my room?!"

“We just swaggered in, and besides, you didn’t lock the door,” Qianhua quickly replied.

"...So how did you break into my house? By the way, where's my mom?"

Li Zhu was on high alert. Even now, he still felt like he was living in a dream. Hinata Kotone really gave him a big surprise first thing in the morning.

No, there was only surprise, no joy.

"Mom went out to work, and she asked us to take care of you. She also gave us a spare key to my house." Qin Yin sat obediently, putting away her aloof expression, as if she was trying her best to play the role of a dutiful wife.

"Don't call me that so affectionately. That's my mom, and this is my home. Don't you have your own home?" Li Zhu used the words of the drunk woman from last night to ask Qin Yin.

"My son-in-law is so cold. Mom just told us to treat this place like our own home and to call you for help if we need anything," Qianhua said, holding the key to Lizhu's house.

"Come on, how did you convince your mother to give you a key to the house?"

Li Zhu rolled her eyes at her, speechless. Why were they all so overly familiar? Didn't they have their own mothers?

Of course, you can't say this to someone's face, since it feels offensive.

Kotone then told him about her good relationship with Risako. Since being discharged from the hospital, they had chatted on their phones many times, mainly about Risako.

By the way, Risako's contact name for Kotone on her phone is "Daughter-in-law No. 2," while No. 1 is "Yuko who moved."
