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

"Then you should be more careful next time!"

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

……

Chapter 113 Damn, who's cursing me?

He did that burp on purpose.

This very beautiful girl approached her for no apparent reason. Li Zhu had been observing her for a long time while eating, and had reason to believe that she was her admirer.

That's why he tentatively let out a burp to see her reaction.

Okay, this person didn't frown, didn't speak ill of me, and didn't have any other negative reactions; in short, they didn't dislike me.

"Finished eating?" Having reached a conclusion in her mind, Li Zhu smiled and asked her gently.

"Yes, thank you for the treat."

"Alright, Master, pack the rest up!" Li Zhu nodded in satisfaction. The next second, he stopped smiling, turned around and called out to the chef wearing a white hat.

"???"

"Package, takeout?"

Seeing Yueqian was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had ever heard of someone packing up food. In her common sense, there was no such concept as packing up food.

"What's wrong with taking food home to avoid wasting it?"

Seeing her surprised expression, Li Zhu didn't say another word to her. After all, ordinary people were still a minority in this school, and he knew that there was a huge gap between their living environments, so it was common for them to have cognitive errors.

These naive young ladies wouldn't understand the true suffering of the poor. If you told them that people outside were going hungry and couldn't fill their stomachs, they might retort, "Then why don't they eat bread?"

"you……"

Seeing that Yueqian wanted to say something, but seeing that Lizhu didn't seem to want to speak, she finally kept quiet.

The scene was quite amusing; everyone noticed the two's reactions and began to whisper among themselves.

"Here we go again. This Riki-kun always turns on you after a meal, just like with Hinata Kotone before."

"That's right, I thought he wouldn't act like this now that it's the piano goddess. What a pity, I quite like Mizuki Akane."

"Who do you think will have lunch and dinner with Li Zhu next time?"

"Perhaps it's Miss Jinguji, who plays the clarinet?"

"I think it's violinist Yuko Shimakawa."

"Don't all guess it's the music club. Think about it, last time it was Hinata Kotone from the disciplinary committee, and this time it's Mizuki Akane from the music club. Based on our calculations, it probably won't be the music club next time."

"That can't be Chiyuki Nagakawa from the Literature Club, can it?"

"Impossible. If she could come, even the student council president, Kujo, might."

"I think Mayumi Hojo from the sports club is pretty good too."

Based on what they had seen and heard over the past few days, everyone kept making bold guesses.

To be honest, in the eyes of these restaurant regulars, Li Zhu has a special charm.

First of all, Li Zhu will not change his mind because of what others do. His unconventional side is obvious to everyone. As children of noble families, they also want to be as unrestrained, but their inherent reserve and upbringing make them unable to let go of their burdens.

Moreover, Li Zhu possesses excellent character, is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is not tempted by beauty, which is extremely rare and precious in this materialistic and indifferent society.

They came to this conclusion because of Li Zhu's behavior.

As everyone knows, the Hyuga family is incredibly wealthy. If you were to win the affections of Hyuga Kotone, it would be a blessing that others could only dream of. If you accepted her advances, you would enjoy endless riches and honors for the rest of your life. But Riki refused without hesitation, which they saw as a sign of his indifference to fame and fortune.

Hinata Kotone and this time Mizuki Akane, both of them are beautiful in their own way, and are both top-notch beauties. However, his eyes were clear, and he was only focused on eating, without any desire. This is a manifestation of not being greedy for beauty.

It's no wonder that anyone would fall in love with such a handsome man whose inner qualities are as brilliant as diamonds.

So next time, no matter who he brings to dinner, they won't be surprised anymore.

For some reason, Li Zhu, who was waiting to be packed, suddenly felt her nose was itchy and sneezed several times.

"Damn, who's insulting me?"

Li Zhu was unaware that he had been "deified" yet again in the eyes of others.

If someone were to say to him, "You're a person who doesn't care about fame or fortune," Li Zhu might laugh. Everyone knows that his life's ambition is simply to fulfill someone's words, "So what if you have a few stinking bucks? What's there to be so proud of?"

To be honest, it feels really good to get yelled at.

As for not being attracted to beautiful women, that's even more ridiculous. That's utter nonsense. It's impossible for a young and vigorous guy like Li Zhu to be without desires, unless he's impotent.

However, he respects other people's feelings and would never intentionally agree to deceive others' feelings. He yearns for pure love, so he always follows his inner desires.

Li Zhu's love life has been quite bumpy. Whether in his past life or in the present, he has made many mistakes and inevitably left behind some irreparable regrets.

Especially when he realized that he had chosen Yuko merely to use her as a shield, to use her past as a veil to deceive his own mind, he suddenly felt like a complete emotional fraudster.

Li Zhu didn't want things to go this way, after all, he still vividly remembered the breakup with his ex-girlfriend. But by the time he tried to make amends, it had already become a huge mistake. The more they tried to move closer to each other, the further their hearts would drift apart.

Later, Yuko left, and Riki felt an overwhelming sadness. A strange emotion filled his heart, and he didn't know if it was guilt or a vague, elusive love...

At that moment, he finally understood that in the lie called love, only when two people are together and two sincere hearts are in harmony can the dream come true.

He didn't readily accept other people's love, such as Hinata Kotone's feelings, and he didn't fall in love with her, so there was no need to delay other people's sincere and passionate love.

Of course, the threat posed by Miki Fujiwara was also a factor.

If it weren't for her intervention, perhaps Riki would have suddenly fallen for Hinata Kotone during their continued interactions?

Nobody can say for sure.

After all, love is both love at first sight and a gradual process; it is like a gentle rain nourishing the earth, and it is a natural outcome; it is something that is unreasonable yet incredibly beautiful.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life.

Fujiwara Miki's knife to her neck will only make Riki shrink back and be unwilling to touch anything related to Hinata Kotone, so Kotone's confession is destined to fail.

……

After packing everything up, Li Zhu carried a large package out of the restaurant, which contained various sizes of lunch boxes.

"Hey, Li Zhu, where are you going?" Yue Qian followed.

"Back to the classroom, is there anything else, Senior Yue?" He was a little surprised, not expecting this guy to follow him.

Li Zhu turned around and looked at her expressionlessly. She saw Yue Qian's hands were clasped together, her little leather shoes were moving restlessly, her eyes were darting around, and she didn't dare to look at Li Zhu's face.

Just by looking at her rosy cheeks, you can tell what she's up to.

Is this another confession? I'd better act a little heartless then.

……

Chapter 114 Madness

"Excuse me, do you like sweets?" Seeing Yueqian's hands clasped tightly in front of her chest, she lowered her head slightly, looking very nervous.

So it wasn't a confession after all. Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't like it," he replied truthfully.

However, he was also a little confused. Seeing that Senior Yue's face was all red, just to ask him if he liked sweets?

But this is for the best; if she were to confess her feelings, Li Zhu would actually be a little troubled.

"Okay, thank you for your reply."

Upon receiving Li Zhu's reply, she seemed much relieved. Looking at Li Zhu's dazed expression, she suddenly laughed out loud, turned around, and left decisively.

"..."

Suddenly, a very cool autumn breeze blew by, and the leaves on both sides of the road fell down with a rustling sound.

Seeing Yueqian's soft purple hair fluttering in the wind, her plaid skirt swaying slightly, her hands behind her back, she hummed a light melody and walked forward.

For some reason, her figure looked somewhat lonely in the cold autumn wind.

But Li Zhu, being rather simple-minded, didn't think much of it. He stood there for a while, watching her walk like the back of a drunk driver, and watched her slowly disappear as she walked through the path strewn with fallen leaves.

Whether it's psychological or not, Li Zhu feels like more and more things are happening to him lately.

To be honest, the successive appearances of Yagyu Yoshiko and Mizuki Akane made him somewhat uneasy, with a bad feeling, and this feeling was usually very accurate.

The feeling was hard to describe; it was as if something was slowly breaking the seal, and he had nowhere to hide.

Li Zhu was like a faint yet dazzling firefly in a dark forest, so abrupt and conspicuous that all eyes in the darkness couldn't help but focus on him and follow him.

Those invisible red threads are constantly drawing him closer; he can't stop others from falling for him, and one day, he too will encounter an inescapable "red thread"...

A young girl's heart flutters like a wildfire on a midsummer night, an endless and inextinguishable flame.

When the wind blows, the wild grass stretches to the sky.

……

Back in the classroom.

Li Zhu was somewhat surprised; the classroom was actually full of people.

As soon as he entered, his strange appearance carrying a large package attracted everyone's attention.

However, what Yagyu Yoshiko and Kyoko were about to say on the stage was clearly more important, and everyone turned back to listen attentively.

"Everyone, the annual beauty pageant is about to begin! If you're confident, sign up with me, and you could be the next campus idol!"

Kyoko spoke with great enthusiasm, slapping the large characters on the blackboard. Her chest heaved with each movement, and it seemed as if two playful white rabbits were hidden beneath her school uniform, making one's mouth dry.

It must be because she set the atmosphere up so high that everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Yes, that must be it.

"The campus idol competition is coming up later. Are there any students in our class who want to participate?" Meizi, who was standing next to me, spoke in a gentle voice like a kind older sister next door. She always smiled with her eyes narrowed and her hands were clasped together in front of her lower abdomen.

These two are like gentle water and passionate fire, with distinct personalities and actions.

At this moment, they both saw Li Zhu entering from behind, and their reactions differed.

Because she had recently invited Riki to an event and been rejected, Yagyu Yoshiko's relaxed expression froze upon seeing him. She opened her eyes, slightly parted her lips, and remained silent.

Kyoko's face suddenly lit up with surprise. She ran down the street, grabbed Riyu's arm, and urged, "Riya, Riyu, there's something important that needs your help!"

“I don’t want to participate in any beauty pageants,” he said coldly.

Li Zhu heard everything just now: participate in a beauty pageant? Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Since there are no beauty pageants in high schools in China, his impression of them is that of a group of men standing on a stage, having a lively bodybuilding competition.

The image that comes to mind is that man on stage, shirtless, wearing only shorts, freely displaying his muscles and masculine charm, with a free and passionate philosophical atmosphere both on and off stage.

hiss~

It's fine if others do it this way, but the thought of herself becoming like that sent a chill down Li Zhu's spine, and she quickly shook her head.

At this moment, Shimazuga turned around and joined in the persuasion, grabbing his other arm, "Riki, I'm joining too, aren't you coming?"

"???"

Li Zhu couldn't help but glance at Shimazuga's chest, thinking that when she touched him there last time, she felt that his pectoral muscles were quite bulging under his clothes, and that he was quite well-endowed.

Is this guy the type who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular build when he takes them off?

Shimazuga didn't notice Riki's strange look and kept winking at him, hinting that Riki should participate in the competition with him, because he thought it would be very interesting to participate in the competition with Riki.

However, his attitude would backfire. Li Zhu shook her head repeatedly with a cold face and some disdain.

Li Zhu was also a little confused. Why are you looking for a skinny, weakling like me instead of that big, dark-skinned guy in front?

"Oh, right, Kaoru-chan will be there too~" Kyoko added, remembering something, "Are you sure you don't want to come?"

Xun was pretending to read a book while idly sitting on the sidelines, but actually listening intently to what they were saying. Unexpectedly, the gun was turned on her.

"Oh, I, I... um, I participated." Xun felt a little nervous under Li Zhu's strange gaze, but in the end she confessed.

After saying that, Xun felt a little shy and didn't dare to look at Li Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhu thought for a moment and realized that Xun wasn't the flamboyant type. It must have been Kyoko who had persuaded her through persistent coaxing.

"Did you insist on troubling them?" Li Zhu sighed and asked Jingzi.

"No, no." Kyoko's face showed a very suspicious expression, and she quickly turned to look at Kaoru with her eyes frantically hinting, "Kaoru-chan, you agree, right?"

“I think we should prioritize Rin's personal wishes. After all, not everyone has the courage to stand on the stage, so we shouldn’t interfere with Rin’s choice.” Kaoru noticed that Rin looked a little troubled, so she put down her book, tugged at Kyoko’s skirt, and said softly.
