Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Kitahara Takashi's brain started working faster than ever before.

'lie?'

As soon as this idea came into mind, it was completely denied by Beiyuan Zun.

Ryujumo and Kashiwagi Nagisa are both in the same school.

Even if two people can't get along, lies will be exposed with a little checking.

Kitahara Takashi thought for a moment and replied to Longzhu Tao: [Kashiwagi Nagisa said she likes me.]

*

In the pavilion of a lush Japanese garden surrounded by flowers and trees.

When Longzhu Tao saw the message from Kitahara Takashi, she had already reached into the Go jar, but pulled her hand out after touching the white words, and instead picked up her phone and started typing.

Longzhu Tao: [Explain in detail.]

Kitahara Takashi: [You know, my parents left early, and my relatives don't like me. My expenses in Tokyo are all earned by my part-time job.]

Before coming up, Kitahara Takashi first played the victim.

Actually, it can’t be considered as playing the victim.

After all, this was the situation he was in when he first crossed over into this body.

Other time travelers have lost both parents, have a sister, a house, are rich and good-looking, and have no worries in life.

By the time he got there, both his parents were dead, he had no sister and no house, debt collectors were coming to his house, and his savings were all gone.

This buff was stacked for him. I didn’t know it was Desert Doghead stacking Q.

He came up with a devastating start.

If it weren't for the system, Kitahara Tsutomu really wanted to start over. This life is so boring.

'Is he so miserable?'

Longzhu Tao felt a little sympathetic towards Kitahara Takashi.

She had never learned about Kitahara Takashi's family background, but she could more or less guess it.

Because when I took him to visit Xiuzhiyuan, he asked me some questions about subsidies for poor students and scholarship applications.

If it weren't for the poor family background, who would know this?

Kitahara Takashi: [I used to work part-time at a convenience store, but since the pay was low, a friend introduced me to a boyfriend rental job.]

Rent a boyfriend?

what is that?

Long Zhutao, who never paid attention to these things, was wondering, when a female voice came, which sounded very gentle and would definitely not bother Shu Daoshan.

"This is a new type of dating service for people who are not used to interacting with the opposite sex and those who feel stressed and uneasy when it comes to relationships. You can specify your girlfriend, and the fee is usually 5000 yen per hour."

"I thought only girls would do this kind of work, but I didn't expect there would be boys doing this kind of work too."

Long Zhutao looked up and found that the senior student who was originally sitting opposite her had come to her side and was looking at her with her head leaning over.

"Senior Yan?"

Long Zhutao looked at the girl in front of her helplessly.

Only Zi Anyan was the one who dared to peek. If any other girl dared to peek...it seemed that no one else would have the courage to get close to me.

"Sorry, I saw you were staring at your phone instead of playing chess, and you didn't reply when I called you, so I came over."

"If you don't want to, I won't watch it."

Zi'an Yan retracted her head and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"No, it's nothing."

Longzhu Tao doesn't care.

"He's got news again."

Zi'an Yan pointed at Longzhu Tao's phone and kindly reminded her.

Long Zhutao's gaze fell on the phone again.

Kitahara Takashi: [After working for a while, I realized that this was indeed a fast way to make money. Until one day, the company assigned me four orders for real concubines.]

Four real concubines?

Why is that woman involved again...

"If, I mean if, it's just a hypothesis."

"If the person you want to protect accidentally offends both the Shijo and Kashiwagi families at the same time, and might, probably, perhaps, offend the Shinomiya family in the future, will you still be able to protect them, Tao-san?"

Suddenly, Longzhu Tao recalled what Kitahara Takashi had said before.

Now it seems that she understands why Beiyuan Zun said that.

Kitahara Takashi: [Then, by chance, I met Kashiwagi Nagisa, and she told me she liked me. I refused at the time, but she threatened me with my job, telling me not to delete her, to reply to her messages immediately, and not to ignore her calls, or else she would expose what she had done.]

"So that's it."

Longzhu Tao muttered to herself.

Now it makes sense.

Longzhutao suddenly turned around and asked Zi'an Yan, who was enjoying her melon, about Kashiwagi Nagisa: "Senior Yan, how much do you know about Kashiwagi Nagisa?"

Her father had close contact with Kashiwagi Nagisa's parents, but she was not familiar with Kashiwagi Nagisa.

She felt that the other party was very cunning.

Kashiwagi Nagisa also feels that Ryujumo is difficult to get along with.

Because they are both members of the Shuchiin VIPs, the two usually keep to themselves and have no conflicts at school.

"Kashiwagi-kun?"

Zi'an Yan thought about it.

"He's very cute and seems easy to talk to. He's smart to match his appearance. He's calculating and easily influenced by other people's opinions. Overall, he's a very good kid, but..." Having said this, Zi'an Yan paused, not sure whether she should continue.

Long Zhutao did not urge her, but waited quietly for Zi Anyan to speak again.

"This is just my feeling, it may not be accurate."

"I feel like this kid has a strong admiration and possessiveness for Shijo-san, and a rather twisted desire to assimilate her."

Longzhu Tao: “???”

and many more.

Is there something wrong here?

What is strong yearning and possessiveness?

"Xue, senpai, you, you mean Kashiwagi Nagisa, the person she likes is Si, Si, Si..."

After talking for a long time, Long Zhutao still didn't say what she wanted to say.

Shocked!

Everything she heard today was too shocking.

The female copper is actually in our school.

Zi Anyan nodded slightly: "Yeah."

After a long time, Longzhutao frowned again and said, "That's not right!"

"Since the person she likes is her, then why does she say she likes Kitahara Takashi?"

Logically speaking, Kitahara Takashi and Kashiwagi Nagisa should be rivals in love.

"Maybe she said that on purpose because she saw that the other party was too close to Shijo Shinki?" Zi Anyan was not very clear either.

Only the person involved knows about this kind of thing.

the other side.

Kitahara Tsutomu waited for a while, and when he saw that Longzhu Tao didn't reply, he went off to reply to someone else.

Shijo Maneki: [Sir, why is that Kitahara guy using your phone to post updates? He makes it seem like it's his phone.]

"So he was seen after all?"

Kitahara Tsutomu rubbed his temples with a headache.

Although he deleted it quickly, he didn't expect that it would still be seen by Shijo Shinki.

The financial sponsor from Chiba hasn't responded yet, and I don't know if they have seen it.

"Damn it, what's with all that messed up hair?"

Kitahara Takashi really regretted it.

"Deserve it!"

Bai Yingui looked at the troubled Beiyuan Zun with a gloating look.

The boat capsized.

I told you to raise fish.

I told you to be fickle.

This is the punishment for being unfaithful in love.

"Are you happy?"

Seeing Baiyin Kei gloating, Kitahara Takashi threw the fish to her.

Bai Yingui caught it in a hurry.

Falling into Baiyingui's arms, the big fish suddenly began to struggle.

Bai Yingui didn't care whether her clothes would get dirty. She held the fish tightly with both hands and it took a lot of effort to stop the fish from struggling.

"Help me pack my things."

After Kitahara Takashi finished speaking, he lowered his head and replied to Shijo Shinki.

"Why?" Bai Yingui said unconvinced.

"Because I'm your boss now, and I was the one who introduced you to this translation job."

Beiyuan Zun didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

"Schoolgirl, you don't want to be without work in the future, do you?"

So despicable!

This shameless scumbag senior.

Don't you even bother to pretend now?

He started threatening her directly.

"I can quit!"

Kitahara Takashi chuckled and uttered the capitalist PUA golden sentence he had always wanted to say: "If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will."

"Before you do anything or say anything, use your brain and think about the situation at home."

Considering the conditions of the Baiyin family, Beiyuan Zun really couldn't understand how this kid had the courage to say such things.

Are the post-00s responsible for watching too many short videos in the workplace?

"If you really think it doesn't matter whether you have this job or not, then don't do it."

After being reminded by Kitahara Zunyi, Baiyin Gui became much more sober.

But the look she gave Bei Yuan Zun was still filled with anger.

But she still honestly helped Kitahara Tsutomu pack up his fishing gear.

When Bai Yingui was packing her things, Beiyuan Zun glanced at her and gave her a barely noticeable smile.
