Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

Yin Li put the final period to it.

"It's strange that you didn't try to dissuade me." Lelouch played with the king chess piece in his hand, supporting his head and looking at Yin Li who was sitting silently at the desk.

Yin Li tilted his head slightly and thought for a while.

"You are encouraging people to devote themselves to a fruitless cause. Those who try to cross a fire in the dark often end up burning themselves... You shouldn't be someone who needs my advice. You simply insist on having your own way."

He turned around, leaned back in his chair and smiled at Lelouch, "But I hope you can succeed. Come on, Lelouch."

The setting sun shone through the window lattice, warming the boy's smile. The breeze lifted his hair and gently brushed his cheek. His usually cold and sarcastic red eyes were looking at him softly with a gentle and encouraging smile.

There was only his figure in those eyes.

The chess piece in Lelouch's hand suddenly dropped, waking its owner.

He looked at the fallen chess piece with some regret, "Ah..."

As if he felt embarrassed to be dazed by Yin Li's smile, Lelouch abruptly changed the subject, "Why do you have long hair?"

"Oh, this." Yin Li lifted a bunch of long hair with her fingertips, "Because this way I won't look weird when I go to the barber shop to dye my hair."

Yin Li noticed that Lelouch was in a daze just now, but Yin Li had no intention of teasing him, so she continued speaking along with what he was saying.

Yin Li turned the pen in her hand and nodded at Lelouch, "If you need help, you can come to me."

Lelouch asked back, "Help me with what? Use your magic to cause trouble for me?"

Yin Li retorted, "How dare you blame me? It's obviously your problem, right? I'm telling you, do you have any weird tendencies?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."

The two of them didn't get along for a while before they started to frame each other.

The next day, news about Suzaku Kururugi arrived.

He enrolled at Ashford Academy, in the same class as Lelouch and Yin Li.

A suspect convicted of killing Clovis would inevitably attract gossip even if he was acquitted.

Even the three members of the student council were talking about his origins in District 11 and his status as an honorary Britannian.

Charlie's attempt to strike up a conversation was stopped by Levar with caution.

Yin Li looked around and realized that he and Lelouch were the only ones who "didn't care" about Suzaku Kururugi.

He glanced at Lelouch, who was clearly distracted.

Then he looked at Suzaku Kururugi.

No matter what, Kururugi Suzaku is just a 17-year-old boy.

But understanding cannot.

Yin Li shook his head. After all, he was an insignificant person.

Since Suzaku Kururugi can come to school, it seems that he has established a relationship with a high-ranking person in Britannia, and someone has helped him to set things right.

That's the crime of murdering the prince, even if it's just a suspected crime...

There are not many people who have the power and ability to help him.

Further thinking, after the death of Clovis, the governor of District 11, it is time for a new governor to take office.

It's a coincidence, it's hard not to think in this direction.

The identity of the so-called high-ranking person has become obvious.

How could Lelouch not think of what Yin Li could think of?

However, in order to prevent Lelouch from losing his judgment of the overall situation because of his friendship with Suzaku Kururugi.

Yin Li decided to tell him.

Yin Li covered her mouth with the book and whispered, "Who do you think the new governor will be? I'm also very happy that Shumu-kun is coming to school."

These two unrelated sentences were enough to alert Lelouch.

Lelouch crossed his fingers over his chest, a little habit of his when he was thinking.

Yin Li then realized that he understood her hint.

Chapter 232 Lelouch 9

Even though Yin Li had warned Lelouch that Suzaku Kururugi might be in contact with the new Governor-General, Lelouch still believed in his friend's integrity and even planned to invite Suzaku Kururugi to meet Nunnally, and asked Yin Li to stay away for this reason.

"Wow, Lelouch, you are such a loyal person." Yin Li said flatteringly.

The tone was full of dissatisfaction.

In his attitude towards Suzaku Kururugi, Lelouch suddenly became indecisive. He didn't show much affection and loyalty when he treated Yin Li.

However, according to the information obtained by Yin Li, Suzaku Kururugi was shot in Shinjuku and his life or death is unknown, and Lelouch did not show any grief when he returned from Shinjuku.

Should we praise his acting skills? Or is it that he really doesn't feel grief? Or is there some, but not much?

Even Yin Li, who had a spiritual constitution that was extremely sensitive to emotions, could not detect the extreme grief from him.

Lelouch is really extremely cold-blooded and ruthless in a way.

But now, as if my emotions have rebounded, I start to care about the so-called friendship again.

This guy is quite a contradictory person.

Arrogant, self-respecting, cold-blooded but kind-hearted.

Lelouch listened to Yin Li's sarcastic tone, but found it very cute.

But before he could figure out how to coax Yin Li, he saw Yin Li start looking at him sideways with the eyes of a scum again.

"Your temper is really unpredictable. Have I offended you in any way?"

Yin Li looked him up and down as if evaluating a commodity, "No - I find that you are quite suitable to conquer the world."

Those didn't sound like nice things, and Lelouch didn't think he was suddenly acknowledging his talents.

"Don't worry, I won't disturb your reunion with your friends. But don't forget, there is a fifth person here." After saying that, Yin Li left in a bad mood with the book and pen.

......

That day, in the classroom of Ashford College.

There was still some time before the bell rang, and the classroom was filled with laughter as everyone discussed fashionable jewelry, delicious desserts, campus gossip, or current news.

"Hey, An Wei's literature grades are pretty good, right? Can you help me write the copy for the school newspaper next time?"

Yin Li politely declined, "I'm a little busy."

"Please, what An Wei said last time was really insightful and to the point. I really like that paragraph..."

The classmates' words suddenly stopped, the laughter in the classroom suddenly froze, and the air suddenly became silent.

Everyone looked at Suzaku Kururugi with fear as he followed him into the classroom.

Yin Li also turned around to look at him, and then took the opportunity to reject her classmate.

"Please allow me to refuse. Please go back."

"OK then."

The classmate didn't continue to pester me and left happily.

During the break, Yin Li planned to go back to the Student Union, where he had left his book yesterday.

Although it was not an important book, the sentences in it were very beautiful. Yin Li suddenly wanted to take a look at it, so she decided to run back and get the book without any hesitation.

The Student Union is independent of the teaching building. You have to leave the building and cross the garden to reach it.

When he went downstairs, he saw a group of people doing something furtively next to the neatly arranged upright wardrobes.

Yin Li didn't intend to take them seriously, but when the group saw someone coming, they suddenly felt guilty and stuffed the things in their hands back into the closet.

Another person was holding a red paint can.

Yin Li immediately understood that he had witnessed school bullying.

He pretended to get something from his closet and walked in with leisurely and rhythmic steps.

Yin Li walked forward and opened her own cabinet. The key made a sudden bang when it hit the cabinet door, startling the two of them.

He said casually, as if chatting, "What a bad behavior."

Without looking back, he could sense the two people's dissatisfaction.

Yin Li sighed inwardly.

It turns out that people like this cannot be persuaded by reasoning.

He spoke in that slow, proud and noble tone that was unique to aristocrats.

"Bullying the people of District 11 is truly unbecoming. After all, people like them will eventually self-destruct if left alone. Why condescend to do such a lowly thing yourself?"

After saying that, he casually took the sportswear from the closet and went out. He glanced at Suzaku Kururugi who was hiding at the door, and then looked away, as if this kind of person was not worthy of his attention at all.

Blaming them was pointless. They did harbor ill will towards Suzaku Kururugi, but was it really to the point where they were eager to kill him?

Their behavior may be out of malice, but more often out of fear and terror.

There are many people who do not know the truth and believe that Suzaku Kururugi might have really killed Clovis.

This is the current state of the world. Class, race, skin color, culture, values, language...all kinds of barriers prevent people from truly understanding each other.

Yin Li was able to stop the bullying this time, but could not change the current situation.

Lelouch had just finished the call when he saw Yin Li holding her sportswear and daydreaming out of the corner of his eye.

He started to tease, "The next class isn't physical education. What are you going to do with your sportswear?"

Awakened by his voice, Yin Li glared at him and ran away, "What do you care?"

Lelouch was scolded for asking a question casually: "......"

He turned around and saw Kururugi Suzaku washing his sportswear in the sink downstairs. On the rubbed sportswear, an incomplete sentence sprayed with red paint could be vaguely seen.

Lelouch's face turned slightly cold.

In the afternoon, it is time for students to participate in club activities.
