Today's date has come to an end.

Everyone went back to their own homes and to their own mothers.

Li Zhu lay on the sofa, took out her phone, looked at Youzi's contact information, and had a conflicted expression, as if she was making a difficult decision.

[Did Yuko get home safely?]

Finally, he uttered those words.

If it were yesterday, he would never have taken the initiative to contact Yuko.

But things are different now. He should be considered Yuko's boyfriend, so he should send her a message to confirm that his girlfriend has arrived home safely.

If you're surprised that Li Zhu has such awareness, it's because he learned it from his previous relationship.

Li Zhu's ex-girlfriend really trained him very well, teaching him what he should and shouldn't do.

Although a long time has passed, certain things have been etched into her instincts, and Li Zhu's body has remembered them.

It's easy to imagine that that relationship really left a huge shadow on him.

It's been a long time since the breakup, and Li Zhu has moved six times and even traveled to this game world. But when he sees today's movie and encounters similar plot points, he still can't help but feel nervous, his body turns cold, and his palms sweat.

Ding-dong-

You don't need to doubt Yuko's speed of replying, because Riyuki is everything to her.

[Um, what about you?]

Li Zhu actually took the initiative to care about me!

Yuko was lying on the sofa, her legs bent and swinging happily, her eyes fixed on the screen, her face filled with uncontrollable joy.

〔That's good.〕

[Then remember to get plenty of rest.]

Typical straight male speech.

Because Riki didn't know what to talk about, he suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Yuko's preferences.

[Okay! I'll do whatever you say!]

[To Xinxin.jpg]

He could only coax him to come.

[Yuko is really obedient.]

[Pat head.jpg]

Upon seeing the message from Li Zhu, Youzi let out a soft moan, shyly burying her head in the soft pillow, slapping her legs against the sofa, and letting out a series of silly giggles and other strange noises.

Li Zhu, you big idiot, you're so stupid, all she likes is you.

Li Zhu was still scratching her head, racking her brains over how to continue the conversation.

On the other end, Yuko was kissing and hugging her phone, like a child who had just received lucky money, her heart filled with joy and her eyes brimming with happiness.

Oh, right, Yuko actually went back to her old house today.

It seems she no longer needs the telescope for the time being.

After all, only a fool would do something like losing the big picture for a small gain.

……

night.

Yuko has happily drifted off to sleep.

Li Zhu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He was exhausted after a long day, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he tossed and turned.

Just today, he was forcibly kissed, not just once, and in the end, he foolishly agreed to become her boyfriend.

How can I sleep when such a big thing is happening?!

After many years, he finally started a new relationship.

He felt uneasy, fearful, doubtful, anxious, curious, guilty, and a little bit of expectation.

On the one hand, his past relationships brought him a lot of bad things; on the other hand, he had high expectations for his new relationship, hoping for a good start and a good outcome.

He tried to pray to God that nothing strange would happen to his relationship again; he just wanted everything to be alright.

Does God exist in this world?

In short, this guy, whose soul seems to be a few years older than Yuko and has had experience before, actually has a day when he loses sleep over something as trivial as love.

Moonlight streamed through the window onto the bedside, and the cool night breeze ruffled the boy's bangs, but it couldn't take away the sorrow between his brows.

Chapter Forty-Eight: A False Alarm

Last night, Li Zhu fell asleep sometime, but it was very late.

I didn't wake up until noon today, and the breakfast my mom left on the table was already cold.

Luckily it's the weekend, otherwise Li Zhu would have had to doze off during class.

But the last period every morning is always Chinese class, which is very unfriendly to Li Zhu, who is eager to slack off.

Rin replied briefly to Yuko's message and then browsed the school forum, intending to see what had happened at Ouran High School Host Club these past few days.

He is very concerned about the referee team.

A few seconds later.

"Pinch Mom!"

Li Zhu's refined and easygoing temperament immediately came through.

What news could possibly make him break down in broad daylight?

[Shocking! The mysterious referee is actually the most handsome freshman in history!]

[After verifying with multiple sources, our news agency has finally uncovered the identity of that mysterious new student; he is very likely Li Zhu from Class D of the first year of high school!]

Damn it, who leaked the information?!

[The following is a firsthand account from an informant interviewed.]

[Video attached]

A handsome young man is speaking eloquently to the camera.

"It's you again, Shimazu Hei!"

What the hell is the point of blurring out the eyes? The principal is so handsome, besides Li Zhu, there's only this scoundrel, okay?

Damn it, he betrayed Li Zhu again.

His heart was bleeding.

That's not how you say "I'd go to great lengths for a friend," my friend! Don't just stick a sharp knife into my body!

[After reading this, you should have a better understanding of Li Zhu.]

[After further investigation, we discovered that this student is no ordinary person. Before enrolling, he was specially admitted to Ouran High School with the highest middle school entrance exam score in the entire school and the third highest in the country. He is usually low-key, aloof, and prefers to be alone.]

How did you manage to find this out?

[Not long ago, he rescued several girls from Ouran High School Host Club from some thugs at Pinglong Bar, and was hospitalized with injuries. He tried to hide his act of bravery, but the disciplinary committee reported it to the student council, and he received a school-wide commendation.]

"Forehead……"

[Most surprisingly, according to the descriptions given by students in Class D of the first year of high school, it turns out that Li Zhu had been hiding his true appearance. After being discharged from the hospital and removing his disguise, he amazed countless people!]

[Attached image]

[Thanks to the anonymous righteous person who donated the illustration.]

[After seeing his true colors, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for me, Mei-hui, to call him the most handsome referee in history!]

In the picture, Li Zhu looks out the window with a melancholy expression. His handsome face and otherworldly temperament are the kind that can captivate everyone and make countless girls want to hug and cherish him.

"Holy crap, where did they get my photos?"

"Also, who took this picture secretly?"

The more Li Zhu looked, the more questions popped into his head. He couldn't believe the news agency was so powerful; they had actually managed to dig him out.

This news has now topped the forum's trending list and is currently the most popular topic.

Li Zhu clicked on the comments section to see how others viewed the message.

[So it was him. After hearing that announcement, I specifically went to the bulletin board to check. He seems to be a person of high moral character. It doesn't seem unacceptable that someone like Li Zhu was exceptionally admitted to the judging panel.]

The comment from the student named "The Whale on the Lonely Island" received the most likes.

[Here's the person who provided the photo, no need to thank me, I'm grinning.jpg.]

His comment got the second most likes!

"Hey, it was you who secretly took this picture of me! This guy named 'Mr. Sudo Wants to Be Happy,' I'll remember you!"

Wait, that photo was taken in the classroom. Li Zhu thought for a moment, who in Class 1D of the first year of high school has the name Sudo?

Suddenly, a rough-looking face popped into my mind, corresponding to a tall, burly man with a lewd smile on his face every day.

Oh, that's the PE student who said Li Zhu was a gloomy guy last time.

I think I even passed a note to Li Zhu during class...

Li Zhu suddenly felt a chill, and goosebumps covered her skin.

[So his name is Li Zhu! I feel like I've seen him somewhere before! Oh, right, I even asked my housekeeper to invite him over! Unfortunately, he declined!]

The bunch of replies below were from people who had been ruthlessly rejected by Li Zhu, seeking solace in the image.

Li Zhu: I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend.

My husband is so handsome! ??

Is this comment from someone who's having a mental breakdown?

Moreover, the comments he/she replied to were all strange, completely skewing the entire thread.

Li Zhu ignored it completely and didn't even click to read it.

Don't read too much about the illness, or one day you'll become one of them!

Reviews won't always be positive; there will also be dissenting voices.

For example, this is the comment with the most replies among all the comments.

[Are all the comments above from girls? Are they just judging by looks? Does being handsome make you an exception? What qualifications does he have to be a judge? It's unreasonable that Kujo just put him on our judging panel.]

This person must be someone from the referee team, since he mentioned our referee team, which makes it too obvious.

His reply section was roughly divided into three parties.

One side supports Li Zhu.

They argued their case, trying to explain why Li Zhu was so outstanding, and believed that even though he was a freshman, he was qualified to be on the judging panel.

Some even went so far as to criticize the rules, arguing that so-called qualifications were nothing more than seniors relying on their age and experience, and that rules are meant to be broken, for out with the old and in with the new.

The other side seemed to be siding with the referees and the traditional rules of their predecessors.

In short, the ancestral laws cannot be changed! Moreover, when dating, one must respect elders; disrespect for elders and lack of regard for seniority are unacceptable!

The two sides argued fiercely.
