He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Why are you suddenly trying to kiss me?

The other girls were also surprised. Why would the student council president kiss Jackie?

Bai Chuan was not startled awake by Jie Qi's shout, of course, he did not open his eyes.

He already had a general idea of ​​what might happen next.

The best course of action now is to play dead.

"Xiaoxi, why did you suddenly want to kiss me? No, do you like girls?"

“Of course not. Aren’t you from a small European country? Don’t you have a custom of kissing your friends on the lips?” Hoshimiya Shizuka explained.

Xing Gongxi doesn't trust others. In her eyes, there are only two kinds of relationships: cooperative relationships based on mutual benefit and subordinate-subordinate relationships.

This was the first time she had established a friendship, a relationship based solely on mutual affection. She wanted the other person to prove their friendship and to express their goodwill.

So now she's going to kiss Jackie to prove they're friends.

"No, who told you that?" Jackie was completely confused.

"Shirakawa!"

At this moment, Shirakawa was pretending to be asleep, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he was overjoyed inside.

Hahaha! Jackie, didn't you like watching me make a fool of myself? Didn't you like stirring things up? Come on, let's see what you do now!

"Huh?" Jackie still didn't understand what had happened.

"You and Shirakawa weren't in the dance studio..."

"Alright, alright! I know." Jackie quickly interrupted Hoshino.

Sitting in the front row, Hoshimiya Rin turned around and said, "Don't be rude and interrupt the head of the family."

Xing Gongxi waved to her, signaling her to be quiet.

Maki and Sakura stared at her intently, demanding, "Jackie, what were you and Shirakawa doing in the dance studio?"

Jackie sat there, sweating profusely, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

She just wanted to play around with Xiaobai and tease him, but she never expected to get herself into trouble.

“They kissed in the dance studio, I saw it,” Hoshimiya Shio added.

"Huh?" Maki and Sakura's sharp gazes seemed to pierce through Jackie.

Nikaido only glanced at it before going back to take care of Shirakawa.

My most important little brother is still in my arms; I need to protect him and make sure he gets some sleep.

"No, no, Xiaoxi is right. This is a kind of etiquette in our country, like kissing between close friends. If you don't believe me, call Baichuan up and ask him!" Jieqi tried to shift the focus to Baichuan.

She was about to get up and wake him when Shirakawa was shielded behind Nikaido.

"My little brother is resting and sleeping, don't disturb him," Nikaido said softly.

Shirakawa, who was pretending to be asleep, was deeply moved. The eldest sister was still the best to him, unlike other girls who were not satisfied with him and had to keep working on him.

It was exhilarating, but it was really tiring. If it weren't for Cecilia, Shirakawa would have become a weak and impotent man by now.

“Jackie, I’ve never heard of such a custom in foreign countries. Isn’t it usually a kiss on the cheek?” Sakura raised an eyebrow and continued to question.

She was already upset enough, and then she suddenly discovered that Jackie had done this. Naturally, she was unintentionally used as a punching bag by Sakura.

"We are a small country, and we have continued our ancient traditions. If you don't believe me, you can look it up. In ancient Greece and Rome, there were two kinds of kissing etiquette: one was from mouth to mouth, and the other was on the cheek." Jackie began to cover up her lie by quoting classical texts.

Sakura checked on her phone and found that what Jackie said was indeed correct.

Maki, who was holding the clothes, looked up and said, "Wait a minute, if you're going to bow, shouldn't you bow as soon as you meet? Why did you have to choose to kiss secretly in the dance studio when no one knows?"

Maki, as expected of a top-performing disciplinary committee member, is quick-witted, grasps the logical point, and easily kills the game with a single question.

Moreover, she herself could understand why Jackie did this; it was all about the sense of immorality and the thrill of having an affair, something Maki was already quite adept at.

“No, it’s not that no one saw it,” Jackie retorted. “Xiaoxi saw it, didn’t she? We didn’t hide anything, and it was just a kiss, no further communication.”

"Is what she said true? Only their lips touched?" Sakura asked.

"It seems so." Hoshimiya Shio was leaning against the window with Rin, reading the script. They were some distance away from her, and sunlight was shining in from outside the window, so Shio couldn't see them clearly and didn't know if they had any deeper conversations.

Maki and Sakura fell silent, lost in thought.

Phew! Jackie breathed a sigh of relief; at least she hadn't been exposed.

If I were exposed, I'd probably lose all my good relationships, and I couldn't just sit back and stir up trouble for fun anymore.

"So, Jackie, can you kiss me? Just a kiss, please," Hoshimiya Shio asked.

Without any shyness or bashfulness, she simply treated the kiss as a formality.

"No, no, no, between opposite sexes we greet each other with a kiss, but between same sexes we just shake hands."

Jackie still resisted kissing anyone other than Shirakawa, both boys and girls, so she made up this excuse.

“Okay,” Hoshino replied. She only cared about proving her friendship with Jackie; she didn’t care about the formalities.

She stretched out her fair little hand.

Jackie reached out and grabbed it, shaking it up and down.

“Jackie, we’re friends too, right?” Sakura extended her hand, her eyes still filled with doubt.

“Of course, of course.” Jackie shook Sakura’s hand.

Maki also extended her hand, and Jackie shook it.

Inside the small carriage, it felt like a mini handshake event was taking place.

As for Nikaido, she was still protecting Shirakawa as he slept, so she couldn't free up her hands.

We've finally passed this hurdle!

Jackie was so flustered that she broke out in a sweat and collapsed onto the small sofa to rest.

Shirakawa turned over, filled with the joy of successfully "avenging" Jackie, and drifted into a sweet dream.

176. Create a group, then leave.

It was already afternoon when I got back to school.

At the school gate, students can be seen starting to go home one after another.

"Brother Shirakawa, wake up, it's time to get off the bus."

Nikaido gently poked Shirakawa, who was fast asleep in his arms.

Shirakawa slept comfortably, and she felt even more comfortable holding him.

Watching his beloved younger brother breathing peacefully in his arms, Nikaido felt quite content.

"Mmm~ Big Sister." Shirakawa woke up, rubbed his eyes, and stretched. He felt really refreshed after that sleep.

The car slowly came to a stop, and Hoshimiya Rin got out of the passenger seat and opened the car door.

Everyone except Hoshimiya Shio got off the bus.

"Excuse me, everyone. I have a meeting tonight. See you tomorrow," said Hoshino Shio.

"Wait a minute, Xiaoxi," Jieqi quickly called out to her. "Don't we have rehearsal tomorrow? Let's create a group chat so everyone can get together later."

"it is good."

Jackie was operating the phone.

"What's your name?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Let's call it the 'Stage Play Rehearsal Notification Group'," Maki suggested.

As expected of Maki, her calling out in such an official and boring way.

“Hey, Maki-nee, this isn’t the student council, we don’t need to be so formal. How about we just call them the Prince and the Six Princesses?” Jackie suggested with a smile.

When this suggestion was made, everyone felt a little shy.

After all, in fairy tales, princes and princesses are mostly bound together in that kind of relationship.

"Hey, one prince and six princesses, this is like having a harem."

"Isn't he just building a harem?" Jackie thought to herself.

“Princess and prince don’t necessarily have to be together. This name sounds nice. Why don’t you think of a name?” Jackie said.

The others shook their heads; they indeed didn't have a better name.

"Then let's call it that."

"I won't add it." Hoshimiya Rin coldly objected. Her only duty was to protect Hoshimiya Shio and obey his orders. Princes, princesses, and everything else were irrelevant.

"How about we call him Prince and Five Princesses?" Jackie suggested, changing the name based on the number of people.

Xinggong Xi was initially reluctant.
