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

As for the matter of Qin Yin meeting her in the morning and claiming to be Li Zhu's girlfriend, she didn't mention it at all.

"Here, this is the note Mom left for you. Take a look."

Chika handed him the note that was under the milk.

[Ah Zhu, we have two guests coming over today. Treat them well, okay? Remember to take them out for a walk, be generous, and don't worry about money. Mom's off to work now. Have a great time!]

It was indeed her mother's handwriting. Out of respect for her mother, Li Zhu finally believed them, accepted the breakfast, and apologized to them.

Afterwards, Qinyin secretly gave Qianhua a look of excitement that indicated her approval.

[Sister Qianhua's plan is brilliant!]

Faced with the adoring gaze of the piano player, she smiled without saying a word.

[No big deal, trust me, I'm a dating guru.]

This tactic is called "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

Just like if a guy wants to pursue a girl, he first has to consider the girl's interpersonal relationships, such as getting her parents first, then getting her best friend first, and finally, naturally, he can be with her best friend, oops, he can be with her.

The same applies when a girl pursues a boy.

Li Zhu is now worried about what her mother said.

They said they'd take them out for a stroll, but where the hell are we going to go?!

If possible, Li Zhu would be very happy to take them to see the gaming atmosphere of internet cafes in this world, and see how it compares to that in China.

Unfortunately, she was rejected by Qianhua.

Damn it, Qin Yin clearly said she could go anywhere as long as she could come with me, why did she have to come out and cause trouble?

"How about we go see a movie?" Li Zhu said helplessly.

This was the easiest way for him to kill time: choose a movie that was over two hours long, sit down, and the time would pass quickly.

"Great! I love watching movies about romance!" Chika exclaimed excitedly.

She then realized what was happening and pushed away the piano.

"Ah, I, I also like watching romance movies." Chika's eyelids were practically fluttering open before Kotone finally realized what was happening.

She rarely goes out.

Not long ago, Hinata Kotone's grandfather fell ill. She could only use the excuse of visiting him in the hospital to go out with her sisters with their faces painted in big colors. Moreover, she couldn't use this excuse too often, as it was easy to be discovered.

After all, Hinata Sara doesn't usually like Kotone to go out. Her daughter may seem aloof, but she's actually quite naive and easily fooled, so she doesn't feel comfortable letting Kotone go out.

Over time, Qinyin lost interest in going out. For her, what she did when she went out wasn't important; being with friends or people she liked was the best thing...

To be honest, Hinata Kotone was already very satisfied to see Riku's sleeping face this morning, especially since Riku had promised to take them out to play. If it weren't for Chika and Riku being in front of her, she probably would have smiled foolishly.

"Miss?"

"Ah, sorry, I spaced out again." Qin Yin hurriedly reached out to touch her face to check if her expression had changed.

"A romance movie..." Li Zhu hesitated.

When the topic of romance movies comes up, he thinks of the one he watched with Yuko last time, which he considered to be comparable to a horror movie.

"Isn't it okay?"

"No problem, let's watch a romance movie, just try to pick one that's a bit longer."

"Let's not delay, let's go."

……

Chapter 141 "Heart" (Part 1)

Li Zhu's home is in the southern part of the Beikong New Area, which is not far from the city center.

Fuyuan Street, serving as the "dividing line" between the southern district and the central district, is undoubtedly one of the most bustling streets in the entire Beikong New Area.

Hinata Kotone, Riki, and their companions walked through the familiar Happiness Square towards Fukuhara Street.

Qianhua and Qinyin lagged slightly behind Lizhu by one position.

Looking at the man leading the way with such familiarity, Qianhua finally couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, didn't you say you don't come out to play often? You seem to know this area very well?"

"Well, maybe it's because it's close to home. I sometimes pass by here on my way home," Li Zhu said casually, without slowing down.

This area was where Riki had a date with Yuko before, and the movie theater they were going to was the same one they went to last time, so Riki knew the way very well.

"You walk this street home? I remember you weren't..." Qinyin stopped mid-sentence and immediately covered her mouth.

Because if I say any more, I'll be exposed.

She had spent some time secretly following Li Zhu and studying his preferences, so she already knew exactly where he would go and where he would stay.

"What are you saying?" Li Zhu didn't hear clearly and turned to look at Hinata Kotone, whose expression was strange.

"Hmm, so the young master is lying again?" Qianhua looked at him suspiciously.

“…Ahem, I’m not lying, and please don’t call me son-in-law anymore, it’ll make me angry.” Li Zhu pointed to the movie theater in front of them to change the subject, “The movie theater is right ahead, let’s go over there quickly.”

He thought to himself, "Going out less lately should count as not going out often, right? What a lie."

Li Zhu is certainly not a couch potato; he quite enjoys going out. On his free weekends, rather than playing games or reading novels, he prefers to go to Happiness Square alone to feed the pigeons and pet the cats.

Speaking of which, Happiness Square is home to a lot of pigeons, white and gray, in large flocks. You can also see stray cats sunbathing on the giant statue in the square, and dogs wagging their tails at pedestrians.

These little guys aren't afraid of people, and sometimes they even snatch food from pedestrians. Their numbers are growing, perhaps because of people's kindness and tolerance. Happiness Square truly lives up to its name; it's a place of happiness for the little animals.

However, since Li Zhu took off her disguise, she rarely comes alone anymore, because she is easily surrounded and photographed by others.

Moreover, there were always some suspicious guys who claimed to be talent scouts who would harass him. Most of them looked like con artists with stubble and unshaven faces, so Li Zhu rejected them all.

Being an idol is too troublesome, especially since it involves constantly appearing in public. Besides, who knows if becoming an idol will ultimately lead to becoming a plaything of capitalists, especially since this country is completely controlled by conglomerates?

-

The large poster at the cinema entrance has been changed to a beautiful woman holding snowflakes under a streetlamp. Perhaps it was too eye-catching, because the hurried people didn't pay much attention to her.

The arrival of the three caused a slight stir in the hall.

"Wow, who is that girl? She's so pretty! Even prettier than the female lead in 'Kokoro'!"

"No, I'm just a casual observer. I think Rina is prettier. This movie, 'Kokoro,' is currently a hot topic online and has received rave reviews. Rina's portrayal of the female lead is very charming. This is her third movie since her debut, and also her third time playing the female lead. Every time, she gives me a big surprise. Even a casual observer like me likes such a hardworking girl who is constantly breaking through her own limitations."

"..."

What a knowledgeable stranger!

"They're all so good-looking! Maybe they're idols who dressed like ordinary people to watch the movie."

"Maybe, that guy is so handsome, he's my type!"

"Yes, yes, I really want to pull him into my arms and bully him to death!"

"He's alright, I admit he's a little bit more handsome than me. By the way, that maid is my type (winking)."

"Hiss, a big-breasted maid and an idol, I really don't understand how such a young woman could go down this path. Where is her morality? Where is her dignity? Where is her contact information? Where is her address?"

"???"

The noisy chatter and the crowded throng made Li Zhu frown from time to time.

"You two stay close, we'll just go straight to the front desk to check our tickets now."

Today, the cinema was packed with people. Four ticket counters were open in the spacious lobby, but the queue still stretched all the way to the door, showing just how popular it was.

Because Li Zhu had made an appointment before leaving home, they didn't need to queue and could simply go to the front desk to verify their identity and enter.

Preparing in advance is a strength that Li Zhu has cultivated since childhood.

"There are so many people watching movies on the weekend!" Qin Yin exclaimed softly.

"Does Miss have many annoying people? Why don't we just buy this place and come here to have it all to ourselves whenever we want to watch something?"

"No, I don't find it annoying."

At this moment, Qin Yin's fingers were still pinching the hem of Li Zhu's clothes.

Secretly pleased, I thought, isn't it great to have more people? That way I can openly get closer to Li Zhu, hehe.

"I guess I should just buy it. The way those men looked at me disgusted me. I really wanted to kick those filthy men out."

Qianhua pursed her lips, made a phone call, and briefly told the person on the other end of the line about her plan to acquire a movie theater.

Listening to their conversation, Li Zhu's lips curled into a smirk. "Buying a movie theater on a whim? Damn, rich people can be so capricious."

"The movie is about to start, let's go in first."

Their seats were a three-seater arrangement, with Li Zhu in the middle, Qin Yin and Qian Hua on either side of her.

"There aren't many people here, you can let go now," Li Zhu whispered to Qin Yin.

"Oh, sorry." Qin Yin suddenly let go of her hand.

Qin Yin felt a little disappointed, thinking that Li Zhu wouldn't mind.

"You too, let go of me right now." Li Zhu turned to Qian Hua, who was grinning broadly, and said irritably.

Compared to Hinata Kotone pinching it with her fingers, this guy was anything but polite, grabbing the hem of her clothes with a big handful, wrinkling them. That's why Riki's tone was a bit unfriendly.

Don't get me wrong, she just wanted to teach the young lady how to subtly build rapport with the boy.

In fact, Chika originally wanted to hold hands directly, but she was afraid of making the young lady jealous, so she didn't dare to do anything more outrageous.

"Why are you being so fierce? I think you're prejudiced against me!" Qianhua said, feeling wronged.

"Hehe." Li Zhu said with some disdain.

"Hmph, you're not getting any! I declare this popcorn is not for you! It's for the young lady!"

Qianhua was furious. She snatched the popcorn from Lizhu's hand and shoved it into Qinyin's hand, blinking frantically to signal, "Young Miss, hurry up!"

Because Li Zhu was sitting in the middle, when Qian Hua made an offside move, her soft, swollen breasts inevitably came into contact with him, and their amazing elasticity made him subconsciously look down.

Wow, what a ditch!

What a beautiful white maid outfit!

"Ah, I can't eat that much..." Qin Yin hesitated and stuffed the extra popcorn back into Li Zhu's hand.

"Let's give it to Li Zhu."

"Alright, since Miss has said so, let's give it to him."

Li Zhu: "..."

I bought it with my own money, do I need your reward?

After a brief incident.

The movie finally started as scheduled. As the image slowly appeared on the screen, the three of them quieted down, and soon the entire viewing room became quiet as well.

"By the way, what's the name of the movie we watched?" Qin Yin asked softly.

She had just opened her mouth when, coincidentally, the movie's opening title appeared in large print—Heart.

""Heart""

Li Zhu answered slowly.

……

Chapter 142 "Heart"

At this moment, the large heart on the screen makes Qin Yin seem very simple-minded, even though she is indeed a simple-minded person.

"Oh~" Qin Yin nodded, feigning composure.

Li Zhu's serious expression made her cheeks flush and her ears turn slightly red.

She silently thought to herself, "How embarrassing!"

The two fell silent.

The movie begins.

Outside, a vast expanse of snow was falling, covering everything in a silvery white blanket—a beautiful sight, though freezing in the cold.

In a room resembling a teacher's office, a middle-aged couple, dressed in rather thin clothing, seemed to be discussing whether or not to take in a poor child.

"The letter clearly stated that she had a congenital heart disease and probably wouldn't live past nine years old. It wouldn't be a big deal for us to take her in. The orphanage would just have one more pair of chopsticks to eat with; we could just treat her like a kitten."
