His face was pinched by Qin Yin's hand, her noble and indifferent phoenix eyes staring at Li Zhu, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.

Then, Kotone even tried to pull open Kamikawa Kagami's mirror!

The mirror raised its head in dissatisfaction, and Li Zhu could feel the pressure on her waist increase considerably.

Hinata Kotone's eyes were sharp, as if she was determined to defend her sovereignty and never let go, while the mirror's eyes were calm, staring straight at Kotone. In fact, her eyes had always been like that, calm and unsettling.

Seeing this, Li Zhu broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly pulled away from Qin Yin's hand and said with an awkward smile, "Ahem, we're all classmates, how about we each take a step back? Let's not hurt our relationship."

Putting everything else aside, Li Zhu is genuinely afraid that Qin Yin, that idiot, will be killed here by Kamikawa Kyoko.

Although Qin Yin had caused him a lot of trouble tonight, he personally couldn't bear to see her die here.

And if she really dies here, the Hyuga clan will probably go crazy, and everyone connected to Kotone will be purged tonight.

Perhaps it was because the mirror was too cute, or perhaps because there was no real grudge between Kotone and the mirror, but she could only turn around and glare at Kujo, who was watching the commotion, and say with displeasure, "Hmph, keep your people in check, Kujo!"

"Mirror is the student council vice president, not my servant. What she does is her own business," Kujo said cheerfully, ignoring Kotone's cold gaze.

Hearing her dismissive tone, Li Zhu felt a headache coming on.

How could the mirror not listen to Kujo? She's deliberately trying to annoy Hinata Kotone.

"Mirror, can you let go?" Left with no other choice, Li Zhu had to try it herself.

Say it again.

"Mirror?"

"Okay." Only then did she obediently let go of her hand.

This surprised Kujou Hikaru, who walked over and tried to approach Riku, but was stopped by Kotone.

"You are not allowed to go near him."

Kujo glanced at her, smiled, and simply stood still, saying, "Riki-san, are you interested in joining the student council?"

"He has no interest in joining any student council," Qin Yin said coldly.

"I didn't ask you." Kujo rolled her eyes at her, not angry at all. Perhaps it was Kotone's possessive attitude towards her food that she found so amusing.

"Thank you for the invitation, Kujo-kun, but I have no intention of joining the student council." Facing Kujo's smiling gaze, Riki solemnly declined again.

Upon hearing this, Kotone nodded in satisfaction, gave Kujo a cold snort, and her ponytail swayed back and forth like a cute little puppy wagging its tail happily.

This was the sentence that made Li Zhu happiest tonight.

"Mirror, let's go."

Riri's negative answer seemed to be exactly what Kujo expected. She didn't seem to care at all, just glanced at the mirror, and turned to leave.

The mirror silently followed her, and even turned back to look at Li Zhu with longing eyes.

At this time.

Not far away, a melodious piano tune began to play.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Chiyuki Nagakawa using the sound of her koto to bid a final farewell to the bonfire party.

All good things come to an end.

-

It's almost 11:30 p.m. now. Riku is carrying two large rectangular packages and walking down the street. She's practically the most stylish girl in Ouran High School Host Club.

Since the dishes hadn't been touched, it would be a waste to throw them away, so he didn't forget to go to the window at the back door of the school cafeteria to retrieve the food that the chef had packed for him.

Amidst the strange looks from the crowd, Li Zhu swaggered out of the school gate, as if those rich kids with butlers or maids chauffeured around were the ones who had never seen the world.

Sudden.

A sleek silver supercar sped towards Li Zhu, then with a beautiful drift, came to a stop about five centimeters in front of her.

The roar of the engine and the sharp sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground all rushed into Li Zhu's ears, and he could still feel the cold wind from the sports car on his face.

"Sri Lanka No. 1!"

"Spalashi!"

"He's so handsome!"

Many people at the scene exclaimed in amazement at the car owner's exceptional skill and daring. She won praise from almost everyone except Li Zhu with her extreme speed and impeccable technique.

Li Zhu stood there, stunned, her legs going weak.

Grandma Li, my handsome grandpa, sucks on a jelly!

Before Li Zhu could even recover from the shock, the car door suddenly slid open diagonally upwards, and a woman in black wearing sunglasses, her hands on the steering wheel, coldly asked, "Young master, would you like to get in?"

"...Who are you? Don't you know driving like that is dangerous?!" Li Zhu snapped out of her daze, her first reaction being anger, completely oblivious to the word "son-in-law," "Driving like that, did you even pass your driving test?!"

Of course, if his legs hadn't been shaking while he was speaking, it would have conveyed his anger even more.

"What is driving test part two?"

The rear window rolled down, revealing a beautiful and refined face, but the next second, the person covered their mouth and began to gag.

"Sister Qianhua, could you please not drive so fast next time..." Qinyin said weakly, her face pale. This was also why she usually preferred to be picked up and dropped off by the housekeeper.

The woman in sunglasses named Chika shrugged, tilted her head, and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Okay, Miss, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Sister Qianhua always says that, but I've never seen her change her mind even once...

"Hyuga Kotone?!" Riku's eyes widened, and she asked warily, "What are you doing here? Wasn't scolding you enough? You dare to come looking for me?"

"Get in the car? My mother wants to see you," Qin Yin said weakly, trying to suppress her discomfort.

"The Hyuga family head wants to see me? No way, I have to go home. My mom is waiting for me there." Li Zhu shook her head, carrying her things, and tried to walk around them.

Just kidding, last time I went to the female lead's house, Li Zhu lost her memory that very night. Who knows what will happen this time...

……

Chapter 137 Picking Up a Corpse

"Young master, are you really not getting in the car?" Qianhua pulled down her sunglasses slightly with her middle finger and looked up at him.

"No." Li Zhu didn't turn around and walked home with her things.

After taking a few steps, he didn't forget to correct him, "Also, I'm not some kind of son-in-law."

"But Miss said you are the future son-in-law of the Hyuga family."

“She was joking,” Li Zhu said from afar.

Just now, Qin Yin made a pinky promise with him that she would not do anything to bother him again, and this was a promise she made to him on her own initiative.

They wouldn't contradict themselves, would they?

……

The journey home at night is always long.

After walking through the cold, desolate streets, Li Zhu, whose arms were sore, rested for a while on a park bench.

suddenly.

"Help! Someone save me!" A hurried and plaintive female voice came from deep within the park's woods.

"Hmm? It sounds like someone's calling for help?!"

Li Zhu looked back at the dimly lit woods, the sound seemingly coming from the depths of the path lined with exercise equipment on both sides.

Unfortunately, the sound was intermittent, like a radio with a poor signal desperately trying to make a sound, gradually getting lost and weakening in the cold wind.

"No, we have to go and see what's going on."

Li Zhu wasn't worried about anyone stealing the food package she had left on the bench late at night, so she walked over barehanded.

However, the sound disappeared completely after Li Zhu entered the woods.

Li Zhu didn't dare to shout loudly. What if some vicious criminal was torturing and killing a wayward girl? If he shouted, wouldn't he alert them?

Then it won't just be a fallen girl anymore, but also a fallen boy.

Fortunately, he found the woman behind a clump of trees five minutes later.

"Hey, wake up!" Li Zhu hurriedly lifted her head and gently patted her cheek.

He was surprised; the woman reeked of alcohol.

"Hey, miss, wake up!"

The woman appeared to have lost consciousness.

The woods were too dark for Li Zhu to see what she looked like, but she was wearing a thin silk dress that revealed her curvaceous figure, and her long hair was wet and stuck to her forehead and cheeks.

"Has she completely passed out?" Li Zhu reached out to feel her pulse.

The person is still alive.

"But her hands are so cold!" Seeing this, Li Zhu took off her coat and draped it over her.

Now that things had come to this, they couldn't just abandon her, so Li Zhu had no choice but to carry her back to the bench.

By the light of the streetlamp, he could also make out the woman's face.

"Hmm, this person looks familiar." However, Li Zhu couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

The woman looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She had delicate features, a frighteningly pale face, weak breathing, and icy hands and feet, but her lips were incredibly red.

If it weren't for the fact that she could still feel her pulse and heartbeat, Li Zhu would have thought she had carried back a young and beautiful corpse.

Under the dim streetlights, her eyes were tightly closed, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time, like a sleeping young woman in the midst of a terrible nightmare, her unease and fear written all over her face.

Li Zhu looked at the woman lying on the bench and the package on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

A difficult problem was presented to him.

"I can't carry her if I pick up the food, but I can't put the food down... No, I can't put her down!"

When faced with food, Li Zhu dislikes multiple-choice questions.

"Forget it, I'll just call the police. Women of unknown origin like this should be handed over to the police."

He took out his phone and dialed the police.

[Hello, is this the police?]

〔Ha ha.〕

[A woman has fainted here. She was calling for help; it seems she's in some kind of danger!]

[A woman? Is she pretty? (urgently)]

Li Zhu was somewhat surprised that they weren't being perfunctory this time.

[...Um, it's quite good-looking.]

[Tell me the address, and I'll dispatch officers immediately! (The urgency is increasing)]

[...]

Li Zhu put down her phone, looking puzzled. "Is this really a policeman?"

Why does this sound different from what Dr. Kato said? The person on the other end was breathing rapidly, and their tone made him very uncomfortable, like a pervert.

Or did he dial the wrong number? Could it be that the emergency number in this world isn't 110 (the police emergency number)?

With that in mind, Li Zhu simply hung up the phone.

-

"Ugh~"

It turned out that the woman had quietly woken up while Li Zhu was making a phone call. She propped herself up slightly and vomited a large amount of something that needed to be blurred out.

"You're finally awake. Hey, where do you live? I'll take you home." Li Zhu moved a little further away, looking disdainful.

"Why are you asking about my home? Don't you have your own home?" she said, her eyes glazed over, half-asleep.

Li Zhu: "..."

"I'm asking you where you live. It's so late at night, don't you need to go home?"

"Oh, so... that's what you're asking about?" She smiled sweetly, then collapsed onto the bench and fainted again.

"Stop pretending to be dead!" Li Zhu hurriedly went over to help the woman up and sit her up.
