Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

This is his principle as a gentleman.

People without principles will do things without boundaries, without rules, and without regard for the importance of things. They will do anything to achieve their goals, even hurting others. Bai Ye will never allow himself to become such a person.

But what made Bai Ye feel even more strange was that Shiyu had never sought to establish a relationship with him, and from her words and actions, she seemed to enjoy the current way of getting along with him.

"Are you planning to establish a relationship after paying off your debt? But Kato-san's threat is imminent, and Shiha's approach isn't rational..."

"Does she have big plans?"

"Forget it, let's think about this later. There are more important things right now."

. . . . . .

Friday, average weather.

After two weeks of good weather, the sky turned cloudy.

No one knows whether the sun will be annoyed by the clouds blocking its brilliance, but it is a good thing for people living on earth, and it is even more precious in the hot summer.

Among them, Bai Ye is one of the beneficiaries.

If rainy days and chocolate go together, cloudy days and ice cream are also a good match.

Ice cream doesn't melt as quickly on cloudy days. If you're not very hungry, eating an ice cream without having to worry about dripping milk can be quite enjoyable.

"Xiao Mi, you can't eat ice cream, not even melted ice cream. There's no point in glaring at me. Go drink your own cat milk, and then go exercise."

After throwing the wooden stick into the trash can with an accurate three-pointer, Bai Ye opened the door and let Xiao Mi go to play in the yard. By the way, he scolded it, "Life lies in exercise," so that it would be prepared for the next group feeding by the girls, so as to avoid becoming "small rice" too early.

Friday evenings are charming, especially knowing that I have two and a half days of free time, which makes me feel even happier.

"I have work scheduled for Sunday. What should I do tonight and tomorrow?"

Jingle Bell--!

"Who's calling me... No, this is the ringtone for a video call invitation."

Bai Ye likes to guess who is calling and make some speculations based on the known information. If he guesses correctly, he will get a slight sense of accomplishment.

Not many people have video chatted with him. People he doesn't know are even cautious when typing, let alone video chatting. If the time is shortened to Friday evening, the possibility is only 3 people left.

Shiha, Eriri, Kato Megumi.

After reasoning this way, Bai Ye didn't want to go on. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but it was too tiring. It would be more cost-effective to pay more attention to chatting with girls.

"Is it Kato-san?"

Bai Ye looked at the watch. It was 6 o'clock, time for dinner.

What catches your eye are Kato Megumi's pale yellow eyes. Although they are expressionless, if you look closely, they seem to be telling thousands of words, making you unconsciously want to get to know her more deeply and uncover her mystery.

"Good evening, Senior."

"Good evening, Kato-san. Have you had dinner yet?"

"not yet."

Bai Ye noticed her background, which should be in the room, and the phone was placed at the side and front. He could see that Kato Megumi had just put down her pen and was adjusting the camera angle.

"Are you doing your homework?"

"Uh-huh."

After adjusting the lens so that Bai Ye could see his entire appearance, Kato Megumi's pupils focused on Bai Ye's face again, and a slightly curved crescent appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Because I'm going out with my senior this weekend, and tomorrow's schedule is still unclear, it would be better to finish my homework today."

Saturday is the club activity time, but everyone has an unspoken rule, which is to wait for Aki Tomoya to announce the location and time of the activity.

The announcement time is usually after school, but today it was dinner time and he still hadn't sent a message.

Everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and no one took the initiative to ask about tomorrow's affairs in the chat group.

For Bai Ye, whether the club activities are held or not only affects whether he needs to prepare a big meal. If he wants to see everyone, he doesn't need to use club activities as an excuse.

"Actually, the work has been divided up, so everyone just needs to complete it individually. When we get together, we're mostly just chatting and joking around, which actually lowers our work efficiency. What do you think, Kato?"

"Senior's words make sense... If you were in Aki-kun's shoes, you would hope that 'Flash Girls' would be completed successfully as soon as possible, right?"

This is not necessarily the case.

Bai Ye refuted Kato Megumi's opinion in his heart.

Akito Tomoya wants to stop Shiyu from leaving the club. The easiest way is to delay the progress of "Flash Girl". But he may not want to see senior Shiyu, who once cared about him so much, leaning on senior Xiao's shoulder. The choice he makes is to ignore Xinjing.

"Let's check it later. Maybe Aki-san has forgotten for a moment."

PS: Progress report 32 (9338/10000), 0 updates are owed, this is a normal update.

Thanks to [英梨梨天外飞仙] for the spicy strips, [懒的九月] for 34 spicy strips, [无负风吹雨.] for 2 spicy strips, [神燈道魔] for 3 spicy strips, [晨风落绮楼] for the spicy strips, and [嘴强忙者] for 2 spicy strips.

I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Ox!

Chapter 172 The girls’ video invitations come one after another, who is the next?

The topic of tomorrow's club activities has come to an end for now.

Bai Ye picked up the water cup and took a sip. He happened to meet Kato Megumi's eyes as she closed her homework book, and was speechless for a moment.

Is the topic over?

If Bai Ye thought that Kato Megumi sent him a video chat just to ask about club activities, he would want to find a piece of tofu to kill himself and pray for a good life in the next life.

Because there were no club activities on Wednesdays, apart from the cooking class once a month, he had not seen Kato Megumi for the whole week. The occasional glances they saw when going to and from school were not enough for them to express their true feelings to each other.

"Xiaohui, how was your week?"

"Ok?"

Kato Megumi raised her eyebrows slightly, her mind attracted by his words. Although her expression did not change, her body was half leaning and half leaning, as if she wanted to verify the truthfulness of his words.

"Senior calling me 'Xiao Hui' is really unusual."

"Hmm? Uh..." Bai Ye was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what she meant.

Kato Megumi noticed his daze, and a gleam flashed in her light yellow eyes. Her slender fingers curled around her hair, and then she realized her actions and gently held the slender fingers that had been put down with her other hand.

"Because senior usually calls me 'Kato-san', 'Keizaki-kun' is only used on special occasions. Is today a special day?"

At this time, Bai Ye also understood.

Indeed, in the past, the term "Xiaohui" was used in an ambiguous atmosphere, either hugging or embracing.

This is the first time I call out "Xiaohui" online. How should I hug her across the screen?

"No wonder Kato-kun is a bit confused, but I just called out subconsciously..."

"Xiaohui" is an intimate name, does it represent my inner desire to win Kato Megumi's affection?

"It's not a special day, but if Xiaohui wants to treat it as a special day, um... today is the 'first online call Xiaohui anniversary'?"

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi tilted her head, her face filled with embarrassment, emotion, confusion, happiness and other micro-expressions, looking a little funny.

"Senior's sudden familiarity makes me feel a little uncomfortable~"

"Really?" Bai Ye smiled back. "Having known Xiao Hui for so long, it would be strange if I still used the term 'familiar'."

"no."

There was a gleam in Kato Megumi's eyes, with joy and worry coexisting.

"I feel like the senior has made a decision that gives me a refreshing feeling. Hmm... but I don't hate it."

I made a decision?

After much deliberation, Bai Ye made the only decision recently this afternoon, deciding not to reject girls' confessions anymore.

Could it be that Kato Megumi saw through it?

impossible?

It's useless to guess and doubt oneself, Bai Ye decided to get to the bottom of it.

"Xiao Hui, did you see anything? Your sixth sense is really sharp."

"No," Kato Megumi denied flatly, "It's because the senior wrote everything on his face, as if he couldn't wait for people to read it. I would feel very sorry if I pretended not to see it."

"Hey, do I write things on my face?"

Bai Ye touched his face randomly, and there were a thousand MMPs in his heart, not knowing whether to say them or not.

I clearly wanted to keep the matter secret, so why did it become "can't wait for others to read it" in Kato Megumi's mouth?

Also, why do I seem to be a fool in your mouth, Xiaohui? Should I say you are honest or confused for such an impolite behavior?

So Bai Ye put on a serious look.

"Xiaohui, your observation skills are getting better and better. I'm starting to feel scared."

Kato Megumi remained unmoved and was not at all intimidated by his artificial disguise.

"Does this mean that Senior has a lot of secrets?"

"Everyone has secrets. For example, every boy has a secret comic book. You can't tell others where you hide it."

Bai Ye hurriedly tried to get over it, and he was so self-absorbed that he didn't notice Kato Megumi's sudden hesitation to speak.

His deepest secret is the "harem plan", a secret that Kato Megumi must never know.

He believed that he had hidden it well, and even someone as perceptive as Kato Megumi would not be able to find out.

Just then, a voice came from behind Kato Megumi, ending the conversation.

"Senior, my mother called me to eat. See you on the weekend."

"Yeah, see you this weekend."

After turning off the video call, Bai Ye looked at the time and found that half an hour had passed.

"I'm so hungry, let's cook!"

Bai Ye had just taken out the ingredients from the refrigerator, and before he had time to unpack them, his phone rang again.

It's still the ringtone for video chat.

"What are you doing? Can you please let me cook properly?"

Bai Ye's face was full of helplessness. If it was a message, he could reply slowly, but a video invitation could not be delayed.

Not to mention that the person who came was Shiyu. If I rejected her, the consequence would be that I would spend the night in tears.

When you open the video call, what comes into view is the familiar side-front perspective. From this angle, you can see the side face, which looks particularly cute and beautiful.

Shiyu held up her cheek, with her long black hair scattered on half of her face, adding a touch of hazy beauty to her delicate and charming face.

"Hey, why does it seem like Xiaobai-kun is unhappy?"

"Shiyu, have you had dinner?"

"Of course I've eaten. Don't you feel uncomfortable chatting on an empty stomach?"

Bai Ye showed an expression as if he knew the answer but still wanted to ask, and turned the camera to the untouched ingredients on the table.

"I suspect you did this on purpose, Shiyu."

“Ala Ala~~”

Shiyu's leisurely voice came from the screen, but there was no hint of apology in her voice.

"Half an hour is enough for Xiaobai-kun to make dinner, right? What have you been doing in this half hour~~"

white night"……"

Shiyu actually called me half an hour ago?!

Video calls cannot be opened simultaneously. If the other party is on a video call, you will get a busy tone, unless it is a group video call.

If Shiyu and Kato Megumi were not love rivals, he would have suspected that the two of them were in cahoots, one in front and the other behind, in order to make Shiyu plot against him.

Bai Ye knew very well that it was useless to hide it, and Shi Yu could not fail to judge who he had a close relationship with through video chat.

As for making friends out of nothing?

If Shiyu finds out, it won't be solved by just a painless scolding.

Before Bai Ye could even think of such an unemotional act, he poured cement on the boat and sank it to the bottom of Tokyo Bay.
