Uehara Hibiki didn't dodge or block, he just let her hit him. These punches wouldn't leave any scars, but the pain was real. And this was what he, a philandering man, deserved.

After more than ten minutes, Li Xi's movements finally slowed down, her breathing became rapid, and her fists gradually lost strength. Finally, as if she had exhausted all her energy, she lay on him, her forehead resting on his shoulder, and her rapid breathing was particularly clear in the quiet room.

"Have you beaten enough?"

Uehara Hibiki asked softly.

Thanks to the resilience skill provided by Meow Mengqin, although Uehara Hibiki was the one being beaten, he turned out to be more energetic than the one beating him.

Shiina Riki didn't answer, but just clutched Uehara Hibiki's collar, his fingers trembling slightly.

"very painful……"

Uehara Hibiki broke the brief silence with a deliberately exaggerated complaint, rubbing his ribs with his hands. "Who did you learn this elbowing technique from? If I break a bone, I'll blackmail you."

"Deserved it."

Li Xi's voice was muffled and nasal.

"Who allowed you, a bastard, to break in without permission? But how did you get in?"

"Through the window?"

"Liar."

Shiina Riki raised his head and glanced towards the window.

"The windows are locked."

"It's true. I locked the door again after I came in."

Uehara Hibiki started talking nonsense seriously, "You know my habit. I lock the doors and windows after entering the house. This is basic safety awareness."

Li Xi stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.

He was clearly a bastard who broke into someone's house, but this outrageous and ridiculous explanation was indeed his style.

She recalled the scene she saw when she was hiding behind the curtains: Uehara Hibiki wandered on the opposite street, looking stubbornly at the window where she was, and then... fighting wits and courage with the patrolman from time to time.

At that time, Shiina Riki had a hunch that Uehara Hibiki would never give up.

So, when he saw him leaving in disappointment through the curtains, Shiina Riki felt not only relieved and relaxed, but also lost.

So, when Uehara Hibiki disregarded the law and broke into her bedroom in the middle of the night, Shiina Riki felt not only shock and shame, but also joy.

Anger still burned in her blood, but a softer emotion crept in. Her fists unclenched, and her fingertips unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes.

"Why did you come?"

Shiina Riki asked in a low voice.

Uehara Hibiki was silent for a moment, then reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Because of a certain idiot who was so upset that he had to hide even when crying."

Li Xi's body stiffened for a moment, then he turned his face away.

"A philandering scumbag."

"Yeah, I'm a philandering scumbag."

Uehara Hibiki smiled.

"A philandering scumbag who likes you."

The room was silent for a few seconds, with only the sound of their breathing.

"You selfish bastard."

Li Xi suddenly spoke, and for the first time her voice was filled with tears.

"Why aren't you a focused person? Just like Deng and give her happiness..."

"Lixi, is this what you really mean?"

Uehara Hibiki sighed and reached out to wipe away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Push me to the lamp?"

"It's the truth."

Shiina Riki's fingers tightened slightly, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"I...someone like me is not worthy of competing with Deng."

There's that familiar feeling of inferiority again.

Uehara Hibiki looked at Shiina Riki and suddenly reached out and pinched her face.

"Hey!"

Li Xi frowned and glared at him. He had been holding back tears just now, but now he reflexively revealed a cute fierce expression.

"Shiina Riki."

It was rare for Uehara Hibiki to call her by her full name, and his tone was serious and almost solemn.

"You are no worse than a lamp."

“The lights are perfect!”

The conditioned reflex of the lamp pushing people alone.

Seeing Shiina Riki's reaction, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but laugh. It's so cute that you still fulfill your duty of pushing people at a time like this.

So, with a rebellious mentality, Uehara Hibiki began to enumerate Riki's advantages while reaching out to touch her all over.

"Here, your tear mole is so charming, but there is no light."

"I'll go order it right back."

Shiina Riki had a tense face, but when Uehara Hibiki's fingertips brushed across the teardrop mole at the corner of her left eye, the shyness in her eyes became charming.

"Your hair is so smooth, long and beautiful."

"I'm going to get a short haircut tomorrow."

Shiina Riki was still being stubborn, but when Uehara Hibiki lifted a strand of hair and twisted it between his fingers, she bit her lips lightly, as if trying to suppress the voice in her chest.

“Here then, your Dhaulagiri, feels softer than the lamp-like Cho Oyu.”

"Go to hell!"

In the dimly lit room, the sound of fist hitting chin was remarkably clear. Uehara Hibiki gasped dramatically, taking the opportunity to pull the enraged girl into a hug.

"So, Lixi."

His voice suddenly became gentle, and his chin rested lightly on the top of her head.

"You have your own unique charm. There is nothing that makes you inferior to others."

Shiina Riki froze in Uehara Hibiki's arms for a while, but finally lowered her head with determination.

"Slippery-tongued fellow, I admit that my true feelings are that I hope you will like me alone. Don't you think that this harem thing is too selfish?"

Selfish? Indeed.

But Uehara Hibiki has already recognized his true feelings.

He is arrogant, lustful, and greedy. These three sins have shaped his selfish desires. But it is also because of these selfish desires that he has achieved his current "achievements."

Whatever he wants, he will definitely get.

The law doesn’t allow harems? Then he’ll change the law.

Similarly, Shiina Riki disagrees with the harem? Then she must agree.

Uehara Hibiki held Shiina Riki's face and forced her to look at him.

"That's right, I'm selfish and fickle, there's nothing I can do about it. So, Shiina Ritsuki, I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend."

"I object……"

"No objection. We've already made a lifelong promise to each other, and you've already kissed me. Do you think this will end everything? Impossible! No matter where you run to, I will catch up with you and snatch you away."

"You...you are unreasonable!"

Shiina Riki's voice began to tremble, with a mixture of anger and joy.

"That's right, I'm unreasonable. No matter how many times you reject me, I will cling to you again and make you accept me."

"You are speaking as a criminal."

"Do you think it's not a crime for me to break into your bedroom in the middle of the night?"

"you……"

Shiina Riki was ultimately at a loss for words. Uehara Hibiki's overbearing love left her with no escape. She had to admit that deep down, her love for Uehara Hibiki was deeply rooted, but she simply couldn't face the impact of a harem for the time being.

"By the way, Lixi, when I first chose you to be a member of the band, besides the fact that you were on the harem list, there was another thing I saw: your potential and your talent."

That's right, as talents carefully selected by the system, although everyone's personalities are more difficult than the other, their musical talents are also stronger than the other.

"Are you trying to tease me? You only say things like this at times like this."

"Think about it from another perspective, Li Xi. Actually, my harem targets far more than just the five of you. But why are the band members just the five of you?"

A very novel angle.

Shiina Riki couldn't help but throw another punch.

But...it does make sense. If they didn't truly appreciate their musical talents, why would they go to all the trouble to bring them together to form a band?

"That's terrible, you playboy."

In the end, Shiina Riki's voice softened completely, with a hint of helplessness and compromise.

"Okay, you've cried enough, you've fought enough, it's time to go wash your face. Get some rest, and when you go to the practice room tomorrow, Deng will have new lyrics to show you."

"It's noisy."

Shiina Riki climbed up from Uehara Hibiki and grabbed a pillow and hit him with it.

However, after starting to care about this bastard again, Shiina Riki began to worry whether her tears had ruined her makeup.

Ten minutes had passed before she returned to the bedroom. Uehara Hibiki was standing in the middle of the room, the windows and curtains wide open, the bright moonlight casting a shadow on him.

"Finally you're back. Just in time, I have a gift for you."

So, in Shiina Riki's surprised and expectant eyes, Uehara Hibiki took her hand and let her sit on the edge of the bed.

Then, in the moonlight, Uehara Hibiki knelt on one knee and put the panda couple bracelet on Lixi's wrist again.

It's like a marriage proposal.

Chapter 89 Fate stays tonight.

Moonlight shone into the room through the wide-open window, outlining a silver outline on the edge of Shiina Riki's bed.

Shiina Riki stared at the bracelet she had just put on her wrist, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the metal buckle, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to burst through her chest. The adorable black and white panda, bathed in the moonlight, instantly reminded her of the question she had asked that day at the zoo.

Accepting this set of couple bracelets means that she officially acknowledges their relationship.

It was almost like being proposed to.

This thought suddenly broke into her mind, and Shiina Riki's face instantly burned. After all, the scene of Uehara Hibiki kneeling on one knee and putting the bracelet on her was too familiar. Shiina Riki felt as if the words "Please marry me" had already rang in her ears.

"Lixi? Are you okay?"

Uehara Hibiki's voice brought her back to reality. Shiina Riki suddenly jumped up from the bed and knelt in front of Uehara Hibiki, his hands tightly grasping his shoulders, his eyes so blazing that they almost burned people.

"I do! I want to be with you forever!"

The air froze for a second.

Uehara Hibiki blinked, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised into a subtle arc.

"Lixi, did you hear me wrong? I haven't even had a chance to say anything yet."

Shiina Riki froze instantly.

Only then did she realize what she had just blurted out. Shame swept over her body like a tsunami, and the tips of her ears turned red, almost dripping with blood, and were particularly obvious in the moonlight.

"I...I'm just...excited..."
