Why are all the heroines falling for me, the villain?

At this moment, the audience below the stage were completely unprepared, their expressions one of utter rapture. They had no idea what kind of ear-piercing sound was about to hit them.

"Here it comes, the big one is coming!" Li Zhu thought to herself as she watched the girl start playing her instrument, a sense of excitement rising within her.

Good things should be shared with everyone!

The recorder then played a strange and bizarre melody.

"That's the taste!"

This is the third time Li Zhu has listened to it. Although it's a bit strange, it's still quite addictive. In short, it's incredibly catchy.

For first-time viewers: elderly people, subway.jpg

"What the heck is this?"

How can one describe such a huge difference?

It's like you and your wife sitting on a train, eating hot pot, singing songs, and having a great time.

Suddenly, the train was blown up, and then you were kidnapped by a group of bandits, and your wife became someone else's wife.

Life is always full of ups and downs, ending in the deepest valleys.

The audience reacted in unison to the sound of the recorder.

"My God! I'm so impressed, please, Great Immortal, stop using your powers!"

“I remembered my late uncle; the suona he played that day sounded just like this.”

"Hmm, that sounded really good. I don't want to hear it again next time."

The audience responded with various criticisms and mockery.

The sisters on stage gave the recorder player encouraging looks. They didn't care about the effect of the show; they just hoped that Jingu could be happy.

The girl had no idea how many people were laughing at what she was playing. She could barely hear the sound of her flute, so how could she hear the laughter of others?

Her face was hidden under her thick bangs, and all she could see was the recorder in her hand and Yuri, who was conducting. She played with great seriousness, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her face.

Gradually, the laughter subsided.

Because a sharp-eyed classmate noticed the hearing aid in her ear, recognized her, and exclaimed, "She looks like Jingu from Class 2A of the second year of high school."

Who is Jingu-kun?

"You don't even know her?"

Some people have started to popularize science.

Jinguji is the only daughter of the Jingu family. She was a musical prodigy who was on par with Chiyuki Nagawa during her junior high school years at Ouran High School Host Club. However, she later suffered a car accident and became severely deaf in both ears.

This is a major blow to music lovers, and they may never recover from it.

For the shrine, which is devoted to music, nothing is more cruel than never hearing the vibrant notes again.

But she has always persisted in her musical dream, believing that one day, even deaf people will be able to play those beautiful melodies as always.

The curtain falls on the song.

The applause from the audience went from sporadic to continuous.

No one can help but respect someone who works so hard to pursue their dreams.

The teachers whispered among themselves, seemingly pleased with the children's maturity.

Although Li Zhu didn't understand why the attitudes of those people below had changed 180 degrees, he could sense the girl's perseverance and effort from her sweat-soaked clothes.

"The way you play it is strange, strangely beautiful..."

……

Finally, it was the green team's cheerleading performance.

Those pale, white thighs certainly lightened the somber atmosphere considerably.

"Brother Sheshe, I've already thanked you."

"It's nothing special, just average."

"Brother, you've got guts when you lift your skirt."

"This old monk has no more worldly desires (This humble monk will now disrobe, *slurp*)!"

"Damn, they're all wearing safety shorts! Is there no trust left between people? They're even wary of a gentleman like me!"

"Exactly! It even protects against a blind person like me!"

"???"

The guys in the audience were making faces and exchanging glances, revealing their true lewd nature. Seeing this, they were wide awake.

"Wow, so many long, white legs! Is this paradise?" Even some of the judges were whispering among themselves.

"..."

Li Zhu thought to herself, "They're all a bunch of vulgar people. What's so great about legs? Having a great butt is the real deal!"

Just as he was engrossed in watching, he suddenly felt a chill lock onto him.

Looking around, he found Yuko staring intently at him from the Green Team's group.

The two looked at each other, and Li Zhu saw her lips move, as if she were silently uttering something.

He tried to decipher Yuko's lips.

Did you enjoy watching it?

Li Zhu shook his head frantically, blinked, and responded to Yuko with a look full of survival instinct: [They're not even worth a single hair on your head~]

I hope she understands the meaning of "pear blessing".

Yuko seemed to be in a better mood; Riki's sweet talk did have some effect.

As it turned out, she understood.

A slight smile curved her lips, and she moved them again, receiving her girlfriend's lip-reading message.

Which buttocks on stage do you like best?

Li Zhu smiled. "Does that mean I have to admit I like the third girl's butt from the left?"

But he shook his head, following the guidance of his heart, raised an eyebrow at her, and responded with a mischievous smile.

[I don't like any of them, but I like the picture of you wearing a thong.]

"Yeah~"

Yuko, standing in the crowd, suddenly blushed, covered her cheeks with her hands, and turned away shyly, not daring to look at Riyu.

Phew, all done.

Li Zhu thought to herself, "At least I've managed to fool them."

They ended their interaction.

However, the commotion caused by each of these waves was considerable.

The girl from the Green Team standing next to Yuko gushed.

"That referee has such a handsome smile, is he looking at me?"

"No, he's looking at me!"

"You were clearly looking at me, weren't you?"

"You bunch of infatuated girls, that's enough! You're clearly looking at me. This is attraction between us men!" he said, giving Li Zhu a flirtatious wink.

Li Zhu wanted to see Yuko's reaction, but accidentally noticed a boy next to her looking at her with a strange gaze, and suddenly felt a tightness in her anus.

He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how come there are so many male students in Ouran High School? I can't take it anymore."

Some of the referees were clutching their chests, their faces slightly flushed.

"I think I'm in love. There was a girl from the Green Team who looked this way just now."

"Me too, I'm in love."

"She's so cute!"

"I think I'm in love too..."

One of the referees saw the boy in the audience flirting with Li Zhu, and for some reason, his heart, which had been dormant for many years, started pounding, and his face immediately turned red.

"???"

Is there any hope for Ouran High School Host Club?

……

Chapter 55 It's better if the referee doesn't act at all. √

The program has ended.

At the same time, Kujo announced that the first place winner was the White Team's drama.

Based solely on that final performance and the profound meaning contained in the script, first place was well-deserved.

While Li Zhu might personally enjoy the Green Team's cheerleading performance, it's undeniable that anything that evokes tears from the audience always receives a lot of praise.

On the campus forum, the hashtag #LoveIsSeparatedByMountainsAndSeas# instantly topped the trending list, surpassing #TheHandsomeRefereeLiZhu#.

Despite being trampled underfoot, Li Zhu was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Maybe he's that... well, you know.

……

The cultural performance has ended.

The following is an oath led by an athlete representative.

This oath alone is enough to prove that Ouran High School Host Club takes the Sports Festival very seriously, and the higher-ups hope that all the children participating in the Sports Festival will abide by the spirit of sports competition and give their all.

The referee team must also take an oath to uphold the spirit of refereeing, and to be fair, just, and transparent.

A referee's job is to make the most correct judgment at the right time and in the right place.

With someone making room around Li Zhu and his striking good looks, his voice sounded somewhat abrupt and strange when he took the oath.

He thought to himself, so be it. He wasn't going to care about sticking together for warmth, even if the people around him were cold and sarcastic.

The referee's oath reminded him that this game seemed to be made by a Chinese person who had lived in Japan for a long time, along with a Japanese team. No wonder a game with a Japanese style placed such importance on the spirit of refereeing.

Oh, so it's not entirely a game made by locals. That's alright then.

……

With some time still remaining before the project begins, the judging panel was urgently mobilized.

Chiyuki Nagakawa is serving as the head referee for this sports festival, while Kotone Hinata has surprisingly been appointed as the vice-head referee.

They also have seven group leaders below them. The members of the referee group are basically fixed. The group members are familiar with each other and the seven group leaders manage their group members and assign tasks.

So after the referees automatically formed seven groups, Li Zhu, standing alone in the same spot, seemed even more out of place.

He was a little confused. Damn it, these bastards can't be that bad, they secretly divided the group without telling him?

Although this level of isolation is nothing to Li Zhu, these actions are really hurtful.

Hmph, I might as well not be a referee at all!

“Hey, Riyu, why don’t you join our group? I’m Sasaki Daio, president of the baseball club in the sports department.”

Li Zhu, who was struggling with her thoughts, looked over when she heard the sound and saw a man grabbing a black baseball cap and putting it on his head. The man smiled heartily at her, and his row of neat teeth shone brightly in the sunlight.

The one who spoke was a sunny, tanned man, 1.8 meters tall with a neat buzz cut, and regular features. Even his black referee outfit couldn't hide his vibrant, positive aura.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhu thought to herself, "Isn't this the guy who was staring at me the most intently from all the judges' eyes just now? Why would he take the initiative to invite me?"

Before Li Zhu could respond, a deep, resonant male voice also politely extended an invitation.

"My name is Sakuragi Yuichi, the current president of the soccer club. Riki-kun, would you do me the honor of joining our group?"

Just like his voice, this man is very charming in appearance and temperament. This second-year high school student named Sakuragi Yuichi is a famous handsome man in Ouran High School Host Club.

A handsome man with such fair skin and a demeanor like a student council president, although his appearance is somewhat inferior to that of Riki Shimazuka, it's surprising that such a refined and handsome guy plays soccer. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Before Sakuragi could finish speaking, a small figure in black—no, white—suddenly darted out from the side, its soft, delicate body crashing straight into Riki's arms.
