Li Zhu's words startled the female ghost, and the eeriness in her tone lessened.

"As long as you're with me, I can tell your friends where you are right now~"

"Dream on! Do you think you can just get what you want?"

Pear Blossom made a sharp turn and passed the corner ahead.

Holy crap!

The scene before him filled him with despair.

There were five female ghosts in front of us!

They were all painted with ferocious and terrifying faces, looking extremely resentful!

Judging solely by their faces, they seem to be even more terrifying than the female ghost behind them.

There were five ghosts in front and one ghost behind.

How to do?

Of course we'll give it our all!

"Hey, isn't that Li Zhu over there?"

"Yes, that's him!"

By the dim light flickering in the corridor, Hinata Kotone could barely recognize that the man in front of her was Riki.

"Hey, why did he run away as soon as he saw us?"

"Let's catch up quickly!"

Indeed, after weighing the options, Li Zhu chose to break through to the rear between five female ghosts and one female ghost!

Then, something shocking happened to everyone present.

Li Zhu confidently slid in and skillfully avoided the female ghost.

Just as he was feeling smug and thought he had escaped, the female ghost proved to be more cunning and grabbed Li Zhu by the waist.

Li Zhu's first reaction was that the female ghost's body was so soft, rather than that she had been caught and was doomed.

No, what am I thinking?

"You monster, let me go!"

"Hehe, Li Zhu is such an idiot, she can't even recognize me."

The female ghost stopped screaming and laughing, and instead uttered a familiar and pleasant voice. Li Zhu initially thought she had misheard.

"?"

"Yuko? How could it be you! What happened to you?"

Li Zhu turned around, brushed her hair aside, and upon closer inspection, her pale face was covered in powder, making her look somewhat frightening, though her general features were still recognizable.

Damn, it really is her!

The situation took another turn; it turned out that the one who had been desperately chasing after Riku was actually Yuko.

What happened to the original staff member? Did she go slack off?

Yingzi: I touched #@*%@

"Hehe, I just found this outfit, and there were some scripts in the pockets, so I tried to scare you. I didn't scare you, did I?"

"Well, it's alright, it wasn't particularly scary."

He thought to himself, "You've scared me half to death."

"I'm so glad you're alright. I thought you were lost and I was just about to go look for you."

Yuko felt a warmth in her heart and lowered her head slightly.

She was only stopped from scaring him further and from certain subsequent plans because she was touched by Li Zhu's words...

He looked terrified, yet he still rushed out to find her, which deeply moved Yuko.

Li Zhu always exudes her personal charm without anyone realizing it, making others feel so good about her that it's almost overflowing.

"You big idiot..."

Yuko hugged Riyu tightly. If the lighting were better, you could probably see her cute, delicate ears, which were already bright red.

How can anyone be cruel to you when you're like this?

I'm really, really loving you more and more...

"Ahem, what are you all doing here!"

An untimely voice suddenly broke the idyllic atmosphere.

……

Chapter 44 If I can no longer blush.

Upon hearing the sound, the two immediately separated as if electrocuted.

Yuko realized what was happening, and her eyes held a hint of resentment.

Damn it, who's ruining my plans again!

Li Zhu was overjoyed.

He had wanted to pull Yuko away from his arms for a long time, but he couldn't find a reason to do so. This was like a pillow being delivered to his sleepy head.

My benefactor!

Looking over at the sound, they saw that it was the five ghosts who had chased after them.

It was only then that Li Zhu realized that it was actually Hinata Kotone and the others; he seemed to have mistaken them for female ghosts...

"What are you doing here?" Upon seeing them, Li Zhu gave them a strange look and asked in confusion.

"Hmph, it's you again, you wicked woman!"

Yuko immediately puffed out her cheeks.

That wicked woman just sneaked a taste of the pear at the door, and she's still not satisfied; now she's going to ruin her plans.

Hmph, truly unforgivable! Bad woman, bad woman! ...

For some reason, Hinata Kotone felt a strange sensation when she heard others call her a bad woman.

"Little sister, I... I'm really not a bad woman. We're here to protect you. He's the real villain!"

When her friends heard this, they immediately felt like facepalming. Qin Yin had actually said such nonsense to deceive themselves.

Oh no, Qin Yin is hopeless. She actually said something like that in front of her love rival...

Is this the legendary debuff that makes a woman's IQ drop to zero when she's in love?

too frightening.

"Hehehe, I don't believe you, you bad woman!"

Yuko stuck out her tongue, hid behind Riyu, and peeked out with her little head, watching her warily.

Li Zhu was also somewhat helpless. Why did this woman keep pointing her finger at him and calling him a bad person?

"Are you misunderstanding something about me? Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

In his heart, he thought, "Really, this female lead, please keep it up! I hope you can get her favorability rating down to zero!"

"I, I... Anyway, you're a big bad guy! A big idiot! A big fool!" she said angrily.

Li Zhu rolled her eyes, indicating that her words had no power and were more like she was just being coquettish.

For some reason, Hinata Kotone was somewhat hesitant. Whenever she met Riki's eyes, her mind would race, and she would want to escape from there.

Qin Yin had never met a boy like this before, making her grit her teeth in hatred, yet she also longed to see him.

Ugh, I don't want to see him at all! He's the person I hate the most!

Women are such contradictory and complex creatures.

"Look, you can't give a reason, you're just being unreasonable again."

"I really don't know how you got the position of disciplinary committee member. Isn't it said that only upright, incorruptible, and meticulous people can do it?"

"Are you questioning my abilities and character?!"

Hinata Kotone's teeth are starting to stir again.

For some reason, Li Zhu's words always managed to hit her sore spots precisely.

She gave his other arm a dangerous look, so angry she wanted to leave another row of teeth marks on Li Zhu's hand.

"No, no, what problem could you possibly have?" Li Zhu shook her head and said with a smile, "I was just questioning the selection criteria for Ouran High School Host Club."

"You! I'll bite you to death!"

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

"Sister Qinyin, calm down, don't be impulsive."

"I won't allow you to hurt Li Zhu!"

Hinata Kotone's friends held her back as she went berserk, while Yuko rushed out from behind Riki and shielded him.

"You're not really born in the Year of the Dog, are you?"

Li Zhu was a little scared and took two steps back. The spot on his arm where he had been bitten was still throbbing.

The staff dressed as ghosts in other areas also heard the commotion and came over to check.

Good heavens, there are six female ghosts today, and they've even surrounded a male tourist.

"Hey, Yingzi, what are you doing? Don't surround someone with so many ghosts and scare them. What if you scare them and make them sick?" a staff member dressed as a thin ghost said.

"..."×n

I don't know where Yingzi has gone to slack off. All I have here are the twin-tailed delinquent girls who love makeup, and a cute little girl who wants to scare me.

I don't know if it was the staff member's voice that worked, but the piano music gradually calmed down.

"It's no use questioning me. My fairness and impartiality aren't for you. Humph, you don't deserve my kind words."

"..."

They're notorious for their double standards.

"You're ruthless, aren't you?"

Li Zhu sighed, a look of helplessness flashing in her eyes, and she looked somewhat dejected.

In my mind, I thought, "Haha, I'm all set. Hinata Kotone must hate me, no doubt about it."

However, we mustn't provoke her any further, otherwise becoming the heroine's enemy would be a huge loss.

All we need to do now is maintain this low level of favorability.

As expected, Hinata Kotone is the heroine who makes him the least troublesome.

Actually, she herself doesn't have any major problems. It's just that there's a very powerful female supporting character in her storyline. When Riku was trying to win over Hinata Kotone, she accidentally became her victim...

Right now, Li Zhu only has one life left. This isn't a game where you can't start over; trying will just lead to your death...

Kyoko Hanayama is probably busy making friends with her group members lately, and her attention isn't on herself.

Besides, I'm just an ordinary friend of hers, so it's not a big problem.

The most important people to watch out for right now are Kujo Marie and Kamikawa Kyoko from the student council.

The refereeing blunder that Kujo caused him might have had a deeper meaning; given her personality, she would never do something pointless without a reason.

Could it be that she chose to put pressure on the referee team in a high-profile manner for her own benefit, with some unknown purpose?

Li Zhu had a headache; he hated people who schemed behind the scenes the most.

Those who scheme and plot have dirty hearts!

Seeing that Li Zhu looked lost and stood there speechless for a long time, Qin Yin thought that her words had hurt him.

She immediately felt a pang of regret.

Is he angry?
