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

"What should I do? I really want to cry, waaaaah~"

"Li Zhu seems to have changed. I used to think he was just handsome, but now I feel he's become so charming!"

"You jerk, I love you!"

"Scumbag! Scumbag! Scumbag!"

After the initial shock came endless cheers, and the crowd below waved glowing objects in their hands, creating a sea of ​​stars.

"Um, can I leave?" Li Zhu pulled over the upright microphone and expressed her feelings helplessly.

"I'm so heartbroken. Nobody calls me by my name. They all call me that jerk. Where did he even come from?"

Anyone would feel wronged after being called a scumbag for so long, but Li Zhu could only say it in a teasing tone.

"Pfft~"

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone laughed when they heard this; they hadn't expected Li Zhu to be so humorous.

"Damn, it's installed!"

"Li Zhu, I love you!"

"I love you, Zhu Jun!"

"Please be my boyfriend, and I'll give you a luxury car every month!"

"Tch, Li Zhu, be my girlfriend, and I'll give you a villa every month! All the cars in the underground garage are yours! All you have to do is wear women's clothes once!"

Not only girls, but also some boys who love fencing were calling out to Li Zhu, turning a beauty pageant into a matchmaking event.

Only Li Zhu could have done that.

"Go away, you're all ugly, but you have such beautiful ideas," Li Zhu said irritably.

"I'll reject anyone who doesn't look as good as me in women's clothing!" he then said with a laugh.

"Damn it, why am I feeling a little excited after being scolded?"

"Me too!"

"Are you guys all perverts? Luckily, I am too. Honey, can you scold me one more time?"

"Hehe, my dear Pear Blossom, (o﹃o)～"

Chapter 121 Support

The following one hundred judges began voting.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating whether a perfect scorer will emerge from among the boys.

Not long after.

Xiao Baihe went on stage, grinned mischievously, and whispered something in Li Zhu's ear. Li Zhu then looked disgusted and stood several steps away.

"Currently, Li Zhu has received ninety-nine votes. There's still one person who hasn't voted yet; she hasn't abstained," she announced to everyone.

Just as everyone was wondering who this guy was.

A girl stepped forward from among the judges, holding a voting device. Suddenly, she rushed from the crowd to the front of the stage and shouted to Li Zhu, "Li Zhu-kun, if you can say one bad word about me, I'll cast my vote for you!"

The girl wore glasses, had a rosy face, and was dressed in a plain white dress. She looked very refined and pretty, but unexpectedly, she said something that shocked everyone.

"You pervert, vote or don't, I'm already in first place anyway." Li Zhu rolled her eyes and said irritably into the microphone.

He already knew about this person's request; it was from what Senior Sayuri had whispered in his ear.

"Ah, it's Zhu Jun's rebuke. I'm satisfied. I've voted. Please remember me. My name is Yoshiwara Chika." After casting her vote, the girl named Chika reluctantly returned to the crowd, turning back every few steps.

"Alright, Li Zhu is the first boy to receive 100 votes. Let's give him a round of applause!"

There are no fancy tricks or techniques; it goes back to the original intention of beauty pageants—just be handsome.

But to be honest, Li Zhu wasn't very happy either. He couldn't stand it. Was this school really an elite aristocratic school?

I feel like everyone around me is a pervert!

This concludes the first stage of the competition.

The top five in the boys' group are: Riki, Sakuragi Yuichi, Ono Daisuke, Oji Mochizou, and Akiyama Mei.

……

After a short break, the contestants took their places backstage, and the host introduced this year's rules on stage.

The rules for the second round are very simple: vote within the group, with each person having only one vote, and the person with the most votes is the champion.

The competition consists of two parts. In the first part, each of the ten contestants on stage will have three minutes to campaign for votes. The main goal is to showcase their strengths, and they are not allowed to use illegal means such as threats or bribes to campaign for votes.

The second part is the voting process, which is divided into two rounds. The first round determines the champion of the boys' group, and the second round determines the champion of the girls' group.

"Who will be this year's most popular campus idol? Let's wait and see! Please welcome our ten contestants to the stage!"

Little Lily's face was filled with excitement, and she clearly uttered slightly playful words. Because of her exaggerated body language, her twin ponytails swayed back and forth, giving her a unique charm.

As soon as he finished speaking, lights shone from ten different positions, and rousing background music began to play—the clarion call of the strong.

The curtain opened, and boys and girls walked onto the stage together from the left and right sides. Riki took the lead in the boys' group, while surprisingly, it was Chiyuki Nagakawa on the girls' side.

This is a rather intriguing move.

They stood in two rows of five, facing each other, with each person holding a microphone.

The audience started chanting the names of the contestants. Judging from the support signs, this wasn't the first beauty pageant, and everyone was clearly a fan of some of the more common contestants.

Well, aside from the fact that some fans were holding support signs for contestants who didn't make it to the second round, so they were calling out other contestants' names, which is basically insulting their morale.

"Without further ado, everyone here knows each other. Please start with Li Zhu. Please introduce yourself and let the remaining nine contestants cast their precious vote for you."

After he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Suddenly, the lights for everyone else dimmed, all enveloping Li Zhu, making her silver suit sparkle. Bathed in the white light and applause, Li Zhu was incredibly charming.

Xun, dressed in a plain white dress, stood with her hands clasped in front of her, casting a sweet and charming glance at him. She was always so low-key and reserved.

Kyoko grinned and winked at Rin, her extremely cute face making suggestive expressions. Of the ten people, she was the most restless.

Hinata Kotone stared coldly at Riku with her fists clenched and gripping part of her skirt. She looked somewhat intimidating, as if she were about to rush up and punch Riku at any moment.

Actually, she was more likely just overly nervous, which is why she had such a tense expression.

Kujo Marie and Nagakawa Chiyuki stared blankly at Riki, both seemingly lost in thought. One looked as if she had seen an extremely interesting tool, her face full of amusement, while the other looked curious, as if recalling some memorable events.

Before Li Zhu could even speak, the five female contestants opposite him all turned their beautiful eyes to him, making him feel immense pressure. After all, they were all "old acquaintances" of Li Zhu, so how could they not take care of him?

"Ahem, hello everyone, I'm Li Zhu from Class D of Grade 11. Apart from... being handsome, I'm nothing special..." Li Zhu quickly glanced at the faces of the five people opposite him and then looked away, speaking slowly.

Before he could even finish speaking, the audience below the stage had already begun to stir.

"Pah, you shameless man!"

"Damn, you can't argue with that."

"Damn it, so what if he's handsome?! I could have done it too!"

"You? You look like you have archaeological value."

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"..."

It's strange, whenever Li Zhu speaks the truth, the people in the audience always seem to have a prejudice against him, leaving them speechless.

Damn it, these days, you can't even tell the truth?

"...I hope everyone can vote according to their own ideas; participation is the most important thing."

After he finished speaking, the crowd didn't react immediately and waited a while to see what he would say next, only to find that Li Zhu had already put down the microphone.

"No way, that's it?"

"Hey, Li Zhu, it's only been less than thirty seconds, that's too short," Sakuragi-senpai couldn't help but remind him.

The other boys also looked at him in surprise. This junior was too fast. Was this really enough to show his charm?

"There's no need. I've already said what I wanted to say," Li Zhu waved her hand and smiled.

After speaking, he stood ramrod straight, waiting for everyone to vote, his expression very resolute.

"Well said! Everyone, hurry up and vote!"

Sasaki, sitting in the audience, shouted with a wicked grin. He was afraid that Riki would change her mind, so he did this on purpose to force Riki onto the shelf.

He was so jealous and disgusted by Riki's dazzling brilliance on stage, and even more jealous of his relationship with Kyoko. Why was it that all his efforts to please Kyoko had been in vain, while Riki was embracing her?

"Well then, since that's the case, please vote." Seeing this, Sayuri had no choice but to step in and preside over the vote.

The boys exchanged glances, a slight smile playing on their lips. "We've cast all our votes for Li Zhu."

This scene took everyone by surprise; they seemed to have conspired to say such things.

"What's going on here..." Li Zhu was very surprised to hear her seniors' unanimous support and couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, little brother Li Zhu, don't be surprised. We feel that we are far inferior to you, so we have already decided to vote for you in private. Please accept the kindness of your seniors." Senior Sakuragi walked over, bowed, and patted Li Zhu on the shoulder. The other seniors couldn't help but touch their noses and laugh.

Li Zhu was both amused and exasperated, but could only nod in agreement.

Sasaki, watching from below the stage, turned ashen-faced, feeling as if he had eaten shit.

Chapter 122 Questions

"I never expected it to turn out like this. What a touching friendship!" Xiaobaihe said with great emotion.

"So, all four votes from the boys' group have gone to Li Zhu, while there's been no word from the girls' group yet."

"Girls, please vote in time~" Sayuri's smiling gaze lingered between Riku and the girls.

Hinata Kotone bit her lip, her gaze towards Riku filled with complex emotions. Finally, she asked, "Before voting, may Riku answer one question for me?"

"I have no problem with it, and the rules of the competition don't say it's not allowed, but it depends on whether Riyu is willing to answer." Sayuri threw the question to Riyu, "Right, Riyu?"

Li Zhu remained silent. He glanced at Hinata Kotone's extremely conflicted expression and sensed something was wrong; something big was about to happen.

"Let her ask! Let her ask!..." The audience started to cheer, enjoying the spectacle.

"Ask away," Li Zhu sighed softly, speaking frankly.

"How much do you hate me?" The usually cold voice was gone, replaced by the casual tone she used when she was putting on makeup.

Qin Yin loosened her grip on her skirt, then clenched her fist again. She instinctively wanted to look down at his restless toes, but quickly raised her head again, tilting her head slightly to look at him.

She was fine with anything, but this time she would never back down. She wanted to see what kind of expression and tone Li Zhu would use to reject her. This girl, who was no longer running away, was waiting for Li Zhu's reply.

This time she was more careful and didn't ask Li Zhu if he liked her, only whether he disliked her, nothing more.

Even the most confident and determined young girl in love can have such a humble and anxious day.

“…I don’t dislike it.” Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and replied naturally.

He thought Qin Yin was going to confess her feelings again, and he was very conflicted, afraid that he would have to make another difficult decision.

This time, it's happening in front of everyone again. If Qin Yin confesses her feelings again and is rejected, she might be forever shrouded in an inescapable shadow...

Fortunately, she didn't ask, and Li Zhu didn't want to be the bad guy.

"Okay, I'll give you my vote." She loosened the skirt she was holding in her hand, her expression not changing much, but her usual aloof voice returned.

"Hey hey hey, I'm voting for Riyu too, he's my best friend." Kyoko followed closely behind, touching her left cheek and giving him a playful wink.

"Me too." Xun scratched her cheek with her finger, looked at Li Zhu's face shyly, and smiled.

"Wait a minute, before we vote, I also have a question for Li Zhu." A lazy voice rang out.

Marie Kujo had been listening to Riki and Kotone Hinata's conversation. She carefully observed their expressions and finally came to the conclusion that their relationship might not be as good as she had imagined.

If her previous guess was wrong, then why did Li Zhu dare to refuse her?

That's why Kujo spoke up, wanting to ask Riki a question.

Their eyes met.

"Ask away," Li Zhu said slowly after a moment's thought.
