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

This scene caught everyone off guard.

"Um, Kamikawa-kun?"

Li Zhu looked at the beautiful silver-haired girl in her arms, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Sasaki's sunny smile vanished, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes. Sakuragi, not far away, narrowed his eyes, finding things to be getting interesting.

The reactions varied, especially from Nagakawa Chiyuki, who had intended to stand by and watch as Rin was isolated. Upon seeing Kamikawa Kyoko, even her usually indifferent gaze couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Standing beside her, Hinata Kotone watched the man and woman embrace, her mouth slightly agape, her pupils trembling, and she froze on the spot once again.

It hasn't been that long, and he's already attracted a new girl again? And they seem so close. Do I... do I still have a chance?

Hinata Kotone was lost in anxious, random thoughts.

Moreover, what Riku didn't know was that at this moment, in the Green Team, Yuko was exuding a chilling aura. Her eyes had lost their luster, which was the proper reaction for the person in question to encounter an NTR situation in person.

Poor Pear Blossom is in trouble.

"Kamikawa-kun, everyone's watching, can you let go of my hand first?" Riki smiled somewhat reluctantly, speaking gently in a tone that sounded like she was coaxing her younger sister.

Although the person in his arms was soft and comfortable to hold, he was really nervous. He had no choice but to hug this little devil again; his survival instinct was kicking in.

Upon hearing his voice, Kamikawa Kyoko moved. She rubbed her face against Riku's stomach and increased the pressure on her hands. Riku could feel her waist being squeezed uncomfortably.

"Hey, what do you two mean by this? You, Li Zhu, hurry up and decide which group you want to join!" A slightly impatient androgynous female voice said to Li Zhu with dissatisfaction.

Everyone looked and saw that it was Sakai Tomoko, the head of the kendo club, who had spoken.

With striking wine-red wavy hair, delicate features, a tall and slender figure, and naturally beautiful single eyelids with upturned corners, her eyes are sharp as swords, revealing her sharp edge and making her look extremely powerful.

She was currently standing with her arms crossed and a cold expression, completely ignoring the fact that the front of her black referee's short-sleeved shirt was stretched into an astonishing curve.

But the people around her looked fearful, only daring to steal a few glances, and few dared to look directly at her for too long.

Because this woman always carries a wooden sword at her waist, she has injured at least twenty men this year, sending them to the hospital. Nobody wants to be the next unlucky one.

"Hey, stop standing there! Haven't you ever seen breasts this big before? Give me an answer!"

Sakai Tomoko's eyebrows furrowed. She knew all too well what Li Zhu was thinking. In fact, she thought the same way about every man.

As for why this woman dared to be so bold, to speak so frankly, and to disregard the opinions of others, it was because she came from the Sakai family, a family of swordsmen, and she was confident that she was stronger than everyone else present.

"Tomoko, don't worry. He looks quite troubled right now. Maybe he's considering joining your group." A girl with a short ponytail walked over, patted Sakai Tomoko on the shoulder, and comforted her with a smile.

"Hmph~" Sakai crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and said nothing more, giving her face.

Li Zhu had met that short-haired girl before. She was the head of the sports department, part-time president of the track and field club, and ranked fifth among the outstanding individuals in the entire school. She was Hojo Mayumi.

She is very cute, with big, adorable eyes and a youthful innocence. At first glance, she reminds people of their best female playmate from childhood.

Aside from her rather small bust, she is very similar to one person: Kyoko Hanayama. She always has a smiling face and exudes a charming personality that makes people want to get close to her. She has a very high level of approachability.

"Thank you." Li Zhu was very grateful that she spoke up for her.

"You're welcome." She winked and smiled.

Li Zhu hadn't had much contact with her, so she didn't know if her personality was like Kyoko's—friendly on the outside but harboring malice underneath—but at least for now, she seemed like a very nice person.

……

Chapter Fifty-Six: Pear Blossom Blossom, Danger!

"Look at that referee over there, he's hugging a girl."

"What do you mean? Are you showing off your love? Don't you know that killing dogs is prohibited at the sports festival?"

After all, with Li Zhu in her current state, it's hard for her not to attract attention.

"Hey, isn't that the most handsome referee who's all the rage on the forum?"

Someone recognized Li Zhu; after all, with her resemblance, who in the entire school could impersonate her?

"Yes, he's Riku from our class. Wait, this silver-haired guy isn't hugging Yuko Sakurai. What's going on?"

"Pah! He's a two-timing scumbag!"

There are too many people talking now, and since the sports festival hasn't started yet, everyone's bored. So any little thing will cause a stir.

Fortunately, just when public opinion was starting to swell, someone stepped forward.

"Mirror! Stop fooling around." A slightly authoritative voice called out from behind Li Zhu.

Chairman Kujo was present.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders like brocade, her eyebrows arched like crescent moons, and her beautiful eyes were dark and unfathomable with slightly upturned corners. Her nose was straight and delicate, giving her face a particularly sculpted look. Her cherry-red lips were like a silent temptation, and when she smiled, they were as alluring as the night.

Li Zhu had parted ways with her that day, and now, several days later, she saw her again, still so beautiful and elegant, wearing a light green school uniform, that she was almost too beautiful to look at directly.

Her expression was cold and indifferent, truly pure as ice and snow, yet also as cold as ice and snow, leaving one unsure whether she was happy or angry, sorrowful or joyful.

As soon as she arrived, the surroundings fell silent, and no one dared to breathe. Kujo's prestige in the students' hearts had risen to a whole new level.

It seems Ouran High School Host Club has been suffering under Kujo for quite some time.

Even someone like Li Zhu, who had read the instruction manual, could only back down.

However, Li Zhu was very grateful to him at this moment because the mirror in her arms was very obedient to her.

The force in Jingzi's hand eased considerably because of Jiutiao's words. She raised her head, shook it from side to side, and swept her beautiful silver bangs aside, revealing a delicate and pretty face like that of a mixed-race person.

However, his face remained expressionless, and even his large, bright eyes were like a stagnant pool.

She sniffed her delicate nose, looked at Li Zhu's relieved expression, and suddenly blurted out, "You have to join our group."

"what?"

Then, leaving a bewildered Li Zhu behind, she obediently returned to Kujo's side.

"Hey, Riyuki, have you decided which group you want to join?" Hojo Mayumi waved to Riyuki. "Our group is pretty good too~"

"What are you looking at? If you want to join our group, according to the rules, I can't refuse." Sakai's statement sounded like that of a proud and aloof older sister.

The other team leaders also looked at him with expectant eyes.

What's going on? Why do they all value me so much?

Just a moment ago, they seemed to reject me as an outsider and left me hanging, but now they're incredibly eager for me.

Their unusual behavior left Li Zhu somewhat puzzled.

Li Zhu had no idea why they had suddenly changed their behavior. They had been faking it, each testing the waters and not daring to be the first to make a move.

Two days ago, in order to prevent Riki from being ostracized by the judges, Chiyuki Nagakawa set up a reward: whichever group Riki was in, that group's score would increase.

This scoring mechanism is the same as the winning group in the sports festival, and it affects the final grade and individual merit points.

The merit points are very important; they determine whether you can get into Ouran High School's university program.

The entrance exams for Ouran High School are extremely rigorous and highly competitive because Ouran High School will recruit students from all private elite high schools and public high schools, unlike the high school program which mainly admits students directly from the junior high school.

In short, those things are still a long way from Pear Blossom's arrival.

Therefore, Li Zhu went from being a thorn in someone's side to being highly sought after. Why wouldn't she accept the evaluation points that were practically given away for free?

Although the judges didn't know why Chiyuki Nagakawa was helping Riki, they did know that Riki, as a freshman, had a really strong backing.

First, the president of the association made a scene in the referee group, just to force the pretty boy Riki to take the spot. Then, the chief referee, Meikawa, offered him the lure of points, just so that he could smoothly integrate into the referee group.

Before she knew it, Li Zhu had become the kept man of two more super high school level beauties.

No wonder the arrogant Sasaki was so jealous of him.

He's the guy on the forum called "Sasaki the Most Handsome." He himself may not have the favor of those super beautiful girls, but he can't accept that someone else can win their favor.

Damn it, what's even more infuriating is that when Sasaki Daio met Riki in person today, he realized that Riki was actually more handsome than him...

Now, Riki has successfully replaced Sakuragi Yuichi as the person he hates the most.

"I choose Hojo-senpai's group." After looking around, Riki chose Hojo Mayumi, who had spoken up for him.

"Yay!"

The slender Hojo jumped up like a little girl buying candy, because the shopkeeper gave her a few extra pieces because she was cute.

"Interesting man."

When Riku realized that she wasn't on the student council's side, Kujo's lips curled into a dangerous smile, and even the usually stagnant eyes of Kagami flickered with a hint of emotion.

Not far away, Chiyuki Nagakawa looked at Riki with admiration in her eyes. She was not surprised that he would choose Hojo.

She even felt that even if Kujo asked him directly, Riki would still follow her heart's choice.

No, no, no, girl, you're overthinking it. Riri will indeed follow her heart and agree to Kujo's request.

Hojo excitedly ran to Riku's side, casually took Riku's hand, and looked at her with his big, watery eyes shining brightly.

"Don't be afraid, I've got your back. I guarantee your refereeing career will be absolutely amazing!"

Up close, her skin was so tender it seemed to glow, and her little tiger teeth shimmered in the sunlight, adding to her cuteness.

Li Zhu realized that staring at others like that was impolite, so she quickly withdrew her hand and changed the subject.

"Ahem... Well, thank you for taking care of me, senior. Let's go, let's assign tasks first."

Not far away, a guy named Sasaki was so jealous that his eyes were practically spitting fire, and he looked like he was about to have his plasmolysis break off.

Upon seeing this, Sakuragi Yuichi sighed, shook his head, walked over, patted Sasaki on the shoulder, chuckled, and left Sasaki with a meaningful expression.

It seems to be mocking his outwardly sunny and tall appearance, while his inner self is like a clown.

I misjudged him. Sakuragi used to be motivated to compete with this guy, but now that I think about it, it would have been beneath him to compete with him.

The refereeing team's matter has come to an end.

But has Li Zhu forgotten something?

At this moment, no one dared to approach Yuko within a three-meter radius; humans are no different from animals in their tendency to seek advantage and avoid harm.

She stared intently at Li Zhu's retreating figure, then suddenly smiled. Her calm, dark eyes held a terrifying depth of emotion, like an iceberg floating on the sea, only a glimpse of which could be seen, and no one knew how enormous the monster lurked in the dark depths.

"It seems the plan still needs to be carried out... Hehehe..." Yuko murmured to herself, like the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe, issuing a death notice to someone.

Pear Blossom, danger!

……

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Choice

The night wind was cool, just like the bright moonlight shining through the window onto people, yet they felt no warmth.

"Ah, I can't sleep~" Li Zhu opened her eyes on the bed. Someone was sighing in the empty room.

Despite feeling extremely exhausted, as if pulled from the water, my mind was as clear as an owl in the night.

"Am I really doing the right thing?"

There are always people who like to pretend to be ignorant when they know the truth.

It's been about three months since Riki and Yuko met.

When Li Zhu first learned that she had become a villainous supporting character in her story, her feelings were incredibly complicated.

I was inexplicably dragged into this, made a villain, and then died. Are you kidding me?

In some ways, humans are no different from animals, so the instinct for survival drives Li Zhu to bravely change her situation.

At first, he thought he could just drop out of school, stay away from the trouble, and solve the problem once and for all, so he went to see the principal. But the principal turned around and took his mother with him instead...

Since then, my mother has been smiling more. Every day she nags him about how good her current boss is, saying that the apartment they live in is big and comfortable, and there are convenient things like elevators.

Oh, and Mom also saved up to buy a scooter. Every morning she almost gets late for work because of the long detour, but even so, she still insists on taking Lizhu to school every day.

A huge problem lies before Li Zhu: dropping out of school means that he will have to make his mother suffer again, going back to those days of working from dawn till dusk.

Looking at the beaming smile on her mother's face, how could Li Zhu bear to add more wrinkles to her sallow face, or let a few more strands of silver appear on her already sparse black hair?

The path of dropping out of school to escape was thus blocked and sealed off by the overwhelming weight of maternal love.

Left with no other choice, Li Zhu chose another path.

He doesn't play the villain, nor does he stand against the protagonists. In fact, just to be on the safe side, he secretly helps Yuko solve her problems. If he were ever forced to jump off a building, he could use these small favors to try and make Yuko remember their past relationship and save his own life.

Upon first seeing this pitiful girl, Li Zhu felt a pang of compassion. She was like a wounded kitten, unable to cry out in pain or even display her natural instincts to avoid harm; she could only silently endure the pain.

Even though the villains who posed the greatest threat to her have all reformed, her situation remains unchanged. Fate can really be cruel.

If Li Zhu doesn't step in soon, this girl might not be able to hold on any longer before her destined male lead arrives.
