Hinata Kotone's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face habitually stern, her serious and sharp features seemingly no different from the temperature of the cold wind.

Chapter 150 Absolute Justice
"Scatter! Everyone scatter! Don't block the Discipline Department from maintaining order. Anyone who stands around watching will be punished along with the others!" Qin Yin's chilling gaze was like two sharp swords. With a single glance, she sliced through the crowd, revealing two people among them.
A person dressed completely covered except for their eyes is holding another young man and slapping his face.
Seeing this, Li Zhu had no choice but to stop. "Hmph, you're lucky. Don't let me catch you next time, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
As soon as Li Zhu loosened his collar, the guy seemed to have found a lifeline. With his slightly swollen face raised, he rushed to the Discipline Department and began to vaguely and pitifully accuse Li Zhu of "crimes".
"This lowly wretch, this filthy bastard, this utterly despicable villain! How could such a person appear at Ouran High School? How dare he hit me in front of so many people! I swear I will make him pay!" he said venomously.
Shuji Mizutani had never been beaten before. As someone who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and received an elite education, he was humiliated like this today. The pain on his face and the shame and loss of composure made him both shocked and angry, almost to the point of madness.
"You, you're dead!" he said, turning to threaten Li Zhu.
"hehe."
Li Zhu didn't take it seriously and didn't pay attention to such a person, but in reality, he was considering what to do if he were really punished or if this person retaliated.
But it's too late to dwell on it now.
"I should have slapped him a few more times." Li Zhu regretted it a bit. This guy was so capable. "Anyway, so many people saw it. He can't escape punishment. Slapping him a few more times would have vented my anger and made me feel better."
"Tell me what happened, stop with all this nonsense." Qin Yin's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at the man in front of her, who was making a complete fool of himself, with disdain.
Shuji Mizutani felt somewhat aggrieved by the disciplinary committee's harsh attitude. He was the one who had been beaten, so why wasn't the disciplinary committee dealing with that masked lunatic? Instead, they were giving him the cold shoulder.
But he held back and began to recount the whole incident in a way that downplayed the seriousness of the matter, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Li Zhu after he finished speaking.
"Wait a minute, you only emphasized that he attacked suddenly. Don't you have any faults? I don't think anyone would hit you for no reason. Do you look like you deserve to be punched?" Hinata Kotone didn't question Riku immediately after hearing this, but stared at Mizutani Shuji with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I, I... but he started the fight, so he's the one with the biggest problem. I suggest that guy be punished immediately!" Mizutani Shuji was speechless for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and shouted at Riki.
"He's the one who hit you?"
Qin Yin turned her head and happened to meet Li Zhu's gaze, who was only showing her eyes. She remained silent for a long time.
after awhile.
"What is Lady Qinyin doing?"
"do not know."
The members of the disciplinary committee and those around them were wondering what this supposedly most impartial and strict disciplinary committee member was hesitating about.
"Disciplinary Committee member, are you going to protect a perpetrator?" The guy, covering his swollen nose, finally couldn't help but yell.
"Shut up!" Qin Yin turned around and glared at him, her eyes flashing coldly. She said coldly, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
I was having a deep, loving gaze with my sweetheart, what are you doing interrupting?
"No, I wouldn't dare. I just hope the disciplinary committee can punish that guy sooner rather than later." Mizutani Shuji shrank back, his burning anger finally calming down a little. The woman named Hinata in front of him was far beyond what his small Mizutani family could afford to offend.
"You tell me what happened. I don't trust him," Qin Yin said softly, turning to look at Li Zhu.
"Wow, their attitudes are worlds apart."
Everyone around was dumbfounded. Mizutani Shuji, who was covering his nose, stared wide-eyed, his face full of confusion and grievance, but no one dared to say a word against it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Riku took off her mask, and her handsome face, so well-known in Ouran High School Host Club, caused a small commotion among those around her.
"This guy came to provoke me for no reason. I was too lazy to pay attention to him at first, but I couldn't help but take action because his mouth was too foul." Li Zhu pursed her lips, exhaling white breath, her tone indifferent.
To outsiders, Riyuki's slightly furrowed brows and composed expression after removing her mask made her appear as relaxed as if she had casually dealt with ants on the roadside, coupled with Hinata Kotone's friendly demeanor.
"So, Li Zhu has already married into the Hyuga family. No wonder this man dares to disregard the rules so much," everyone guessed.
Actually, the reason Li Zhu frowned was simply because it was too cold to take off her mask. These people are too prone to making up stories...
"You, you're Li Zhu?!"
Riki's face was too striking. Mizutani Shuji quickly remembered something: the man in front of him seemed to have an affair with the Hyuga family's eldest daughter, and he had even been demanding that she pay the price...
After hearing Li Zhu's words, Qin Yin nodded, her gaze fixed on Li Zhu. "So he provoked me first?"
"Yes, that's right."
"No, no, I didn't!" Mizutani Shuji tried to say, "He clearly started it! By the way, Ezuko can testify for me!"
The short-haired girl named Zhizi took a few steps back. Instead of defending Si Jun, she casually remarked, "He just said things like 'lowly commoner' and 'beggar.' Yui and I advised him not to say such provocative things, but he wouldn't listen. I think it's understandable that Li Zhu would resort to violence."
“That’s true.” Yui nodded seriously, adding another jab.
She was simple-minded and felt that Si Jun was indeed at fault first.
"You! You two! You bastards!" Mizutani Shuji was furious. He never expected that the girl he had pursued for so long would treat him like this.
"Oh? You want to stir up a taboo?" Qin Yin narrowed her eyes slightly, her dangerous gaze scrutinizing him from head to toe.
The situation changed instantly; what was initially a minor incident has now escalated to an extremely serious level.
"Words can be dangerous." This was the thought of almost everyone present.
"I, I didn't, I really didn't. If he hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have made that slip of the tongue. Your Disciplinary Committee can't slander me..." Mizutani Shuji was really panicking.
He originally just wanted to make a name for himself in front of the girl he liked, but then he got beaten up. Enraged, he decided that he would find the most ruthless gangsters to beat the man to a pulp before stopping.
When the upright Disciplinary Committee arrived, everything changed after just a few words.
"I...I really didn't mean to start anything!"
No one spoke up for him.
Although most nobles still subconsciously look down on commoners outside, it's different in Ouran High School Host Club. Whoever is responsible for causing a taboo incident that leads to conflict between commoners and nobles will become the target of everyone's criticism.
Therefore, he cannot accept this title. If he does, the Mizutani family will be disgraced, and he may be stripped of his status as heir, with his foolish younger brother taking over the family business.
"I'm the victim!" he shouted anxiously, pointing to the injuries on his face.
"If you have anything to say, speak to the principal," Qin Yin declared.
"I'm not having it! You're protecting Li Zhu! He also broke school rules by hitting someone, so why aren't you taking him away?!" Mizutani Shuji, being held up by members of the disciplinary committee, looked as aggrieved as a snowflake in the sky.
"Did your nose strike first, or his fist? Can you say for sure?" Qin Yin turned and glanced at him, speaking coldly.
What she meant by that was, "My Hyuga family has double standards, so what can you do about it?"
"..." Li Zhu.
Oh no, the piano music sounds kind of cool today.
The others also looked like they were seeing Hinata Kotone for the first time, and everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Is this really the strict and impartial disciplinary committee member?"
"Hmm... perhaps her fairness will exclude Li Zhu."
……
Chapter 151 Love?
"Uh, don't I need to be punished?" Li Zhu murmured as she watched Qin Yin take the guy away.
He was mentally prepared to at least get a scolding and write a self-criticism, but it seems like nothing happened.
Li Zhu understood that Qin Yin was biased towards him, but she was a little worried. He himself didn't care much about other people's opinions, but would she, as a disciplinary committee member, be criticized for doing this?
"The disciplinary committee members are so handsome today! I love Lady Kotone the most!"
"Although, he is indeed very handsome."
"As expected of the Hyuga family's eldest daughter, her imposing presence remains as strong as ever."
"Did Li Zhu save the island nation in her past life? She actually married into such a super-rich family and has such a beautiful girlfriend."
"I think it's like saving the galaxy."
Phrases like these started appearing.
Well, he's overthinking it. These guys really have aristocratic manners when facing people of higher status than themselves.
"Ahem, the person who made the mistake has been taken away, justice has been served, the Disciplinary Department is indeed as fair and just as rumored, today is truly a wonderful day." He put his mask back on and prepared to leave.
"Was justice served?"
Those around him, hearing this, smirked and gave his retreating figure a sour, complicated look: Damn, is this guy showing off? Having a super-rich heiress as a girlfriend really lets him do whatever he wants.
And so, bathed in the astonished and envious gazes of everyone, Li Zhu entered the campus.
"Zhizi, why did you treat Si-kun like that?" Yui looked away, asking curiously, "Do you like Li Zhu?"
"No, although he's definitely my type, he's not a reason for me to target that idiot." Zhizi gazed longingly at Li Zhu's retreating figure, then sighed. "A few days ago, that guy Mizutani Shuji actually sent his father to my house to propose marriage. My old geezer actually thought he was alright, ha~"
Her eyes were filled with undisguised disgust. Most social engagements and marriages among the wealthy and powerful were driven by self-interest; human emotions meant nothing to them.
"Oh, I see. I understand." Yui nodded, looking a little dazed, though it was unclear whether she actually understood.
"What if it wasn't Li Zhu this time?"
"That guy is so stupid. If we provoke him a few more times, he'll eventually run into a brick wall. But today was a lucky day, hehe." Zhizi pouted and stretched. "Ah, finally rid of this annoying guy."
Having just "used someone else to do her dirty work," she took Yui's hand, put on a playful smile again, and stepped beautifully into the campus.

As expected, Riki, fully armed, drew laughter from Shimazuga and Kyoko as soon as she entered the classroom.
Even Kazama Kaoru couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "Your outfit is so exaggerated, hehe."
"I had to wear this thick to school because there's no heating at school." Li Zhu took off her mask, sat down in a chair and shook her leg. "Maybe the school leaders should install heating in the classrooms and activity rooms. Anyway, the school is rich and powerful, so they don't need to worry about the money."
“We didn’t have heating before, but everyone has been doing it this way for years and hasn’t thought it was bad. Hmm…maybe we should install some,” Xun said softly, always agreeing with Li Zhu.
"It's snowing outside, aren't you cold wearing so little?" Riki asked curiously, lifting Shimazuga's collar, causing the latter to blush.
"Next time, please tell me what you're going to do first, okay?" Shimazuga realized what was happening, her expression hardened, and she released Riki's groping hand, saying coquettishly.
His long eyelashes fluttered, and his bright, watery eyes seemed to be constantly whispering the most touching love words. Not only girls, but even boys couldn't help but be captivated by them.
This man is damn sweet!
Fortunately, Li Zhu was already used to this guy showing such a misleading side, and at most she just recited the Heart-Cleansing Mantra a few more times in her mind.
but,
"Hey, can you stop being so girly?" This thought has been in Li Zhu's mind for a long time, and maybe one day she won't be able to help but blurt it out.
"Idiot, there's a heating layer inside your clothes~" Kyoko said with a smile, her face showing an exaggerated bulge that made one wonder what was stuffed inside.
I always felt that she became bolder and bolder after that night, because as she said those words, she grabbed Li Zhu's hand and put it to her chest.
"How about it? Aren't these clothes with thermal linings very warm? Oh, and there are similar ones under the insoles too."
It turned out that she just wanted Li Zhu to check the temperature of the clothes, which startled everyone present, and Li Zhu was especially nervous.
"It's quite big, cough, it's, it's pretty good. I'll buy one and try it on tomorrow." Li Zhu subtly withdrew her hand.
He thought to himself: It really is a "hand warmer," only this world has done it much more cleverly.
No wonder the female protagonists in the game were still dressed so scantily in winter; it turns out that these continuity errors were perfected by the game's logic in this way.
"Kyoko-kun, Riki is a boy after all, so you should be more careful about some of your actions," Shimazu He couldn't help but say.
"What's wrong with that? I don't mind. Li Zhu is my best friend. As friends, we should stick together and keep warm in winter." Kyoko said dismissively, pretending to hug Li Zhu and give him a good wash.
"Hmm, that's about enough. I don't think our friendship needs these proofs." Kyoko said dismissively as Riyu pushed her away.
To be honest, he doesn't dislike breasts, he just appreciates buttocks more, like girls with great buttocks like Kaoru or Yuko. Ahem, I digress.
At that moment, he looked at the back seats closest to the door; they were empty.
It's already this late, and Kira He, who also loves buttocks, still hasn't arrived. He's probably on leave, which makes Riki a little worried. Could it be that her good buddy is still heartbroken and hasn't gotten over it yet?
"I hope he'll succeed next time he confesses to another girl," Li Zhu sincerely wished this gossip prince from the sports department well.
As everyone was chatting, the loudspeaker suddenly came on.
It turns out that the mirror was announcing to the whole school that Mizutani Shuji had seriously damaged the harmonious relationship between the students of Ouran High School Host Club, and also announcing the final punishment.
"That guy was actually suspended from school for a month?!" Li Zhu thought to herself, marveling at the principal's strict punishment and feeling a bit scared.
After all, beating up a classmate wouldn't be a light punishment, but luckily there's a "good older sister" protecting him.
"However, this also shows that Ouran High School has a very serious attitude of zero tolerance for any attempt to undermine the relationship between noble and commoner students."
