Oh no! They all seem a bit off!

Chapter 91 A Tribute to the Legendary, Resilient Princess Ye Xue
"Step aside."

Ji Yexue, with a cold face, reprimanded him, not bothering to ask Shiina Maki why she was there.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Maki trembled slightly, silently stepped aside, and retreated to the entrance.

Ji Yexue entered the living room without taking off her shoes and went straight to Qiuyue Cheng's bedroom.

As she walked past Shiina Maki, she didn't notice that Shiina Maki suddenly widened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.

"So...so you're the...you're the philanderer!"

Shiina Maki murmured to herself as she caught a whiff of the delicate fragrance emanating from Hime Yuki, exactly the same scent she had smelled when she entered the living room at noon!
She instinctively sensed danger and thought that if her opponent was Ji Yexue, things might get a little tricky.

Will it win?
"Will win!"

She silently cheered herself up, confident that no matter who her opponents were or how many there were, she could defeat them one by one.

Because, Makoto Akizuki's first kiss was with her... even though she got it by sneaking away using dishonorable means.

But her affection for Akizuki Makoto is second to none!
This is the only thing she is absolutely confident about.

She loves Akizuki Makoto more than anyone else, and needs him more than anyone else!

Thinking of this, Shiina Maki clenched her small hands and mustered up her courage to enter Akizuki Makoto's bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, she saw Ji Yexue sitting on the edge of the bed, legs crossed, reaching out to shake Qiu Yuecheng's body, waking him up.

“Don’t, don’t…”

Shiina Maki immediately became anxious and subconsciously tried to stop Himeyasuki from touching Akizuki Makoto.

How could someone she wouldn't even dare to wake be treated so roughly by others?

This made her feel very uncomfortable, as if something she loved had been ruined.

"Well……"

Amidst a violent shaking, the sleeping Akizuki Makoto murmured something and slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Yexue sitting by the bed, and Shiina Maki standing at the door, hesitant to speak.

At this moment, his mind was still in a daze, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Sleeping soundly?"

Ji Yexue crossed her arms and sneered, "You brought home a sly cat the moment I wasn't looking?"

"Who, who's the cat who stole fish?!"

Shiina Maki immediately bristled. She wasn't a philanderer; she had come to see Akizuki Makoto openly and honestly. How could she be a philanderer?

She glared at Ji Yexue resentfully, wondering what was wrong with this woman, who immediately acted like Qiuyue Cheng's girlfriend.

Not only did she barge into Akizuki Makoto's bedroom and wake him up, but she also questioned him in a harsh tone.

"..."

Qiu Yuecheng looked at Ji Yexue's cold smile, remained silent for a while, and finally his mind cleared up completely, and he understood the current situation.

He turned his head to look at Shiina Maki behind Ji Yexue and asked, "Did you open the door for her? Remember not to let her in next time, she goes crazy for no reason as soon as she comes in."

Ji Yexue should be glad he doesn't have a bad temper when he wakes up, otherwise he would definitely make up for the seven slaps he owed this morning.

Breaking into a private residence is bad enough, but waking up the sleeping homeowner is even worse.

"What did you say?!"

Ji Yexue frowned immediately and snorted coldly, "It's one thing to have found a philanderer, but you dare to talk about me like that?"

"I'm not a cat that steals fish!"

Shiina Maki weakly retorted, her voice somewhat feeble, sounding as if she lacked confidence.

There was no way around it; she was still too afraid of someone like Ji Yexue, who exuded an aura of power.

She wouldn't dare mess with even Nishimura Asuna, let alone someone like Himeyasuki who's at the top of the social pyramid.

I feel that if I contradict Ji Yexue even once, I will be isolated and ostracized by everyone at school.

Qiu Yuecheng glanced at Ji Yexue and also gave a cold smile, saying irritably, "What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten what happened this morning?"

"Well?!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue's body trembled involuntarily, and her arrogant and domineering aura immediately subsided considerably.

Clearly, what happened this morning still leaves her feeling uneasy.

"Also, you know I'm injured and need to rest, yet you still disturb my sleep like this. Can I call your mother to complain?"

When Qiuyue Cheng asked the question again, Ji Yexue immediately deflated and dared not be arrogant anymore.

She originally intended to change her domineering and rude nature and treat Akizuki Makoto more gently, but she didn't expect that this guy would find a philandering cat to keep him company!

So, the reason I refused her visit after school this morning was because I was looking for a cheater?
At that moment, she was filled with rage, feeling that her things had been defiled, which is why she came so aggressively to wake Qiuyue Cheng, wanting him to give her an explanation.

But who is Akizuki Makoto?
Why should he need to explain his actions to others?
Besides, why should he explain to Ji Yexue?

Ji Yexue acted like his girlfriend had come to catch him cheating, confronting him aggressively from the start.

"Yes, you're wrong. Even if you complain to your mother, it won't help!"

Ji Yexue remained defiant, believing that her mother would definitely side with her in this matter.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. I'm just asking you, why did you come looking for me?"

Qiuyue Cheng frowned and said irritably, "If you're here to visit me, as you can see, I'm fine, extremely fine."

Ji Yexue was displeased and retorted, "Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Why did you wake me up if there was nothing wrong?"

Qiu Yuecheng laughed in anger and retorted, "Then aren't you crazy? I was sleeping soundly and you woke me up."

"..."

Faced with Qiu Yuecheng's tirade, Ji Yexue knew she was in the wrong and remained silent.

While she was silent, she suddenly felt someone watching her from behind, so she turned around and looked at Shiina Maki.

In an instant, she shifted her focus, turning her attention to Shiina Maki.

"You still haven't explained to me what's going on with this 'fish-stealing cat' (a derogatory term for a cat that steals fish)."

"She's not a 'fish-stealing cat,' she has a name, Shiina Maki, she's my classmate, and she came to visit me, okay?"

"Why did you ask her to come visit you? Didn't I already tell you? I'll come over after school."

"..."

As Shiina Maki listened to the conversation between the two people on the bed, she inexplicably felt like she was being excluded.

She couldn't get a word in edgewise!
Although the two were bickering and arguing, she felt that they had a very good relationship!
And another thing, Akizuki Makoto can directly call Hime Yuki's mother to complain, doesn't that prove that they've already met the parents?!
This relationship is something she can't compare to.

"call……"

Seemingly having come to an end with his argument with Ji Yexue, Qiuyue Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, then covered his head with his hand, feeling a headache coming on.

Being forcibly woken up was bad enough, but having to argue with the unreasonable Ji Yexue after waking up was really troublesome for him.

He looked apologetically at Shiina Maki, who had been standing at the door the whole time, listening helplessly to his argument with Ji Yexue, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh at me, Shiina-kun."

As soon as he spoke, Ji Yexue turned her head and frowned at Shiina Maki.

Although Ji Yexue didn't say anything, she said everything.

"No, it's okay..."

Shiina Maki quickly shook her head and lowered her head, not daring to meet Hime Yuki's gaze.

For some reason, she always felt superfluous here.

Although Akizuki Makoto seemed very troubled and helpless towards Ji Yexue, he didn't directly drive her away, did he?
The way he bickered with Ji Yexue was something Shiina Maki had never seen before.

...She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. "Um, shall I go now?"

So, Shiina Maki lowered her head, wanting to escape.

She couldn't stay here any longer. Every moment she watched Qiuyue Cheng and Ji Yexue spend together made her feel incredibly uncomfortable and tormented.

"Leaving so soon?"

Akizuki Makoto was somewhat surprised, then noticed that Himeyasuki had been staring intently at Shiina Maki, and immediately understood what was going on.

"You don't need to pay attention to this girl. She's like a leech, so annoying."

Qiu Yuecheng was indeed in a difficult position to deal with Ji Yexue. She was determined to pester him, so what could he do?

He had already reprimanded her like that this morning, and she still dared to come looking for him; there was nothing he could do about it.

Even if you tell her you've broken up with her, that you hate her, never want to see her again, and never bother her again, she'll probably still do whatever she wants.

After all, Ji Yexue is also an abnormal woman; her personality carries the heavyweight labels of "gravity" and "obsession".

Once she sets her mind on something, she'll stick to it relentlessly and never give up.

She's not exactly a yandere, but she's even more so because she's also very possessive.

"I...I still have a job to do...I should go now, I can't be late."

Shiina Maki explained in a low voice that she wasn't lying; she had indeed found a part-time job these past two days.

Upon hearing this, Akizuki Makoto was somewhat surprised and asked, "Working? Where are you working?"

"This... works in the kitchen of a cake shop."

"Yeah……"

Qiuyue nodded thoughtfully, saying that if it was about finding a job, there was nothing she could do.

He was happy to see Shiina Maki go to work, as it meant she was able to socialize independently and had taken a big step towards becoming a "normal person".

"Could you tell me exactly where it is? I'll visit it next time."

"It's in Hakusan 1-cho, there's a cake shop called 'Hoshimi'..."

Thus, after saying goodbye to Makoto Akizuki, Shiina Maki hurriedly left, a faint sense of loss and sadness lingering in her heart.

It wasn't until she saw Ji Yexue that she realized she needed to work even harder to change herself if she wanted to be worthy of Qiu Yuecheng.

Having such an outstanding opponent instilled fear in her, but she never considered giving up.

Because this love for Akizuki Makoto is something that will never be inferior to anyone else's.

No matter what, she wanted to have Akizuki Makoto, even if it meant paying the price.

After spending time with Akizuki Makoto, her love for him grew stronger and stronger, and she found it increasingly difficult to let go.

If she had never experienced Akizuki Makoto's gentleness, she could tolerate a future where he didn't belong to her.

But it was precisely because Akizuki Makoto was so gentle with her that she felt the unique favor he had shown her in the past eighteen years, which gave her light, that she could not bear the thought that her future would not include Akizuki Makoto.

"Whether it's despicable or selfish... you belong to me... and can only be mine..."

Before leaving Akizuki's house, Shiina Maki glanced back at the door she had closed and made a silent vow in her heart.

She would rather die than not have Akizuki Makoto.

……

After Shiina Maki left, the two people in the bedroom looked at each other again.

Ji Yexue crossed her arms and asked expressionlessly, "In what way does she compare to me?"

Qiu Yuecheng scoffed and retorted, "Before asking that question, you should think about what makes you better than her?"

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue looked at her chest and reluctantly admitted, "I can't compare to this, but aren't yours a bit too big?"

She has always been absolutely confident in her figure, maintaining a perfect proportion with a prominent bust and shapely hips.

But compared to Maki Shiina, her bust size of D is quite different.

"No, what are you thinking about all day long!"

Following her gaze, Akizuki Makoto immediately noticed what she meant by "not as good as" and said irritably, "I meant personality! Personality!"

Personality is very important; his ideal type is a gentle, intellectual, and tolerant older sister type.

Being with someone as extraordinary as Ji Yexue would certainly make daily life chaotic and unsettling, though it wouldn't be boring.

Given this guy's awful personality, who knows how he'll be toyed with.

"Is my personality bad?"

Ji Yexue asked in confusion, because she really didn't understand what was wrong with her personality.

Although it was a bit forceful, wasn't that because Akizuki Makoto never responded to her?
If Akizuki Makoto could agree to her request, would she still be so domineering?

"It's hard for me to judge your personality. You're completely different from the aloof president you were a few days ago... no, from before."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yexue chuckled, moved closer to Qiu Yuecheng, and said softly, "Oh dear, this is a side of me that's only for you. This is the real me, Cheng-kun~"

As she leaned closer, Akizuki Makoto pulled back and turned his face away to avoid being forcibly kissed again.

Speaking of forced kisses...

He discovered that in his daily tasks, under the section for Shiina Maki, there was a reward waiting to be claimed.

When he saw that Shiina Maki's daily kissing task was completed, he felt like the sky had fallen.

Bull Demon King, aren't they all using despicable means to get close to him?
He knew immediately that Shiina Maki had stolen a kiss from him while he was sleeping, and she might even have been smugly pleased with herself, thinking it was their first kiss.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you about when you're going back. I'm tired and need to rest."

"Tch, they're kicking me out as soon as I arrived. Isn't that a bit too heartless?"

Ji Yexue sat up straight, pursed her lips, and snorted coldly, "Besides, you can allow that guy named Shiina to stay here when you're sleeping and resting, but I can't?"

"Of course you can't. I'm afraid you'll do something to me if I fall asleep."

Qiuyue Cheng looked at Ji Yexue with a "don't you have any self-awareness" look, and also pouted his lips to show his disdain.

"Since you don't want to leave, why don't you just pay off your debts?"

"Alas!"

The instant he finished speaking, Ji Yexue, as if in a state of shock, dramatically sprang up from the bed and stomped away from him in her little leather shoes.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to do today, so I'll have to go now. Goodbye."

After saying that, just like this morning, she rushed out the door in a disheveled state and fled in panic.

She didn't want to experience what happened this morning again; it was too strange.

It feels like if she had another chance, she would awaken some strange fetish and never be able to go back.

"You little brat, I can't handle you..."

As Qiuyue Cheng watched Ji Yexue's departing figure, he muttered to himself.

If he really wants Ji Yexue to leave, he only needs to spend 500 points to force her to leave.

If you adjust the pleasure or pain she experiences to ten times the normal level, she won't be able to stand it even with a slight touch.

Afterwards, feeling mentally exhausted, Akizuki Makoto lay back down on the bed and continued to sleep soundly.

He slept until evening, then got up, ate a meal, and spent the evening leisurely reading comics.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and he is looking forward to seeing his childhood sweetheart again after a long time. After all, the two of them had a pretty good relationship before he transferred schools.

Moreover, Shimizu Rei also helped take care of the lonely Fuyuko on his behalf, for which he was extremely grateful.
