Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

Although they could have a normal conversation, Bai Ye wanted to see the other person's expression change so that it would be easier to make the next plan.

If possible, he would like another night to think about the plan.

He deliberately took a minute to reply.

[Sorry, I just received a message from the business owner saying I suddenly have a job. Can we talk tomorrow?]

Bodao Chuhai agreed without hesitation. She originally wanted to ask Bai Ye out.

[Okay, I've finished the comic strip for the exhibition, and I'll give it to you, senior.]

[Okay~]

. . . . . .

The next day, the weather was slightly sunny.

As Podao went out to sea, he looked up at the Coffee's house that he had visited several times, relaxed his tiredness from the journey, and walked into the store.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the agreed location was Coffee's house. To be honest, she was reluctant to go to the new store to do the food blog research right now because she was very tired and didn't have the mood.

In the box, she saw Bai Ye, who had arrived earlier and was buried in the computer.

"Senior Bai Ye."

"Hmm? Izumi-san is here. Please take a seat."

Bodao Chuhai sat at the opposite table and put his bag down, being careful not to make too much noise.

"Is the senior busy?"

"I'm sorry, I've been getting a lot of feedback from merchants lately, and I'm also dealing with the aftermath of last weekend's event. I'm really busy, but it's almost done."

Bai Ye pressed the last button, closed the laptop, and looked at the beach that was "hiding" behind the computer.

The red-haired girl was half-lying on the table with her hands crossed, her eyes tired. She didn't even notice that one of her collar buttons was undone, revealing a flawless, snow-white arc.

Bai Ye quietly memorized this beautiful scene in his heart, and his eyes fixed on her face.

"You have big dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No..." The girl's tone was lifeless.

"Hasn't the work for the exhibition been completed yet? Why don't you take a good rest?"

"I'm not in the mood. I have too many worries..."

Bai Ye called the waiter, asked for a hot towel, and ordered a hot milk set meal.

"Hajima-san, you haven't slept yet. I won't order you any coffee. Just put a hot towel on your face and drink a glass of hot milk to calm your nerves."

"Thank you, Senior. Honestly, I'm so tired I don't even feel like ordering."

Bai Ye smiled slightly and spread a hot towel to put on her hand.

Podao felt the warmth as he went out to sea. He opened his eyes slightly, picked up a hot towel and put it on his face to dispel his tiredness and sleepiness. At the same time, he patted his face and forced himself to be alert.

"I feel much better. Thank you, Senior..."

"You don't sound very energetic. You should take good care of yourself."

Bai Ye picked up a small bag from his seat, put it on the table and pushed it to her.

"Senior, what is this?"

"It's for you."

Thanks to [Dian Niang I Hate You] for the 3 spicy strips and [Shang Yu Qian Xue] for the spicy strips.

Chapter 422: What should I do if my girlfriends find out that I am sending cosmetics to Bo Island?

Curiosity about the gift made Boshima Chuhai perk up, and he reached into the bag to feel around as if he had won a prize.

Then she took out a small bottle and a lip gloss, and her tired eyes gradually brightened.

"cosmetic?"

"Yes." Bai Ye was very satisfied with the other person's eyes.

"Yesterday, my conversation with a classmate who went overseas was interrupted by a business owner. After that, I went to work. The other party felt very sorry, so he gave me a set of cosmetics."

This is a lie!

Although he was busy, no merchant sent him any cosmetics, which he had just bought in the mall.

The price is a little expensive, but it is within the price range that girls can accept.

Although it was a surprise, Bodaochuhai immediately thought of the problem. He supported his chin with both hands and looked at Bai Ye like a curious baby.

"Did you send a lot of sets?"

"Only one set."

"Hmm?" Hajima Izumi raised his eyebrows, his brown eyes showing surprise, "Senior, you have a girlfriend, right?"

"Yes." Bai Ye admitted frankly.

"Then why didn't you give it to Kasumigaoka-san or Kato-san? It would have made sense to give it to Hyodo-san, but you chose to give it to me. Do you have any other motive?"

Bodao's curiosity was completely aroused when he went out to sea, and he was like a cat that smelled the scent of fish and was about to approach Bai Ye.

"It's very suspicious, Senior Bai Ye~"

"There's nothing suspicious about that." Bai Ye smiled crookedly, naturally expecting the other party to ask this question.

Although Bodao and Bai Ye were very close to each other at sea, as close as a couple, Bai Ye knew that she did not have any romantic feelings for him. They were probably just good friends, or at most a male best friend.

"I want to go to sea on Papo Island, but the journey is long and arduous..."

"When you gave it to me, the first thing I thought of was that you've been staying up late lately, and your skin must be hurting."

"What does this have to do with giving it to me?"

"Don't forget what this weekend is this Saturday."

"I know, it's the Summer Comic Expo. I stayed up all night just for the Summer Comic Expo." Boshima Chuhai was a little confused.

"Yeah, you're going to set up a stall and sell goods at the Summer Comic Convention, so you have to be in high spirits, right? Chu Hai, you're so pretty, just sitting there and not saying anything is like a shining sign. What if you look lifeless and scare away all the customers?"

"How could you scare away the customers? Senior Bai Ye, you are exaggerating too much--" Hatano Chukai scolded with a smile.

She probably understood Bai Ye's idea of giving her cosmetics.

"Rest well this week. I gave you cosmetics just because I thought they were suitable and necessary for you. Go to the Summer Comic Con beautifully and leave behind some good memories. Don't let your little head get carried away."

"Oh oh." I didn't get any interesting information and was a little disappointed when I went out to sea on the island of Bo.

Suddenly, Bai Ye changed the subject, his eyes darting around, as if he was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall, and he quietly leaned close to Bo Dao Chu Hai's ear.

"Of course, don't tell Shiyu and the others. This kind of thing can't be explained."

"Hehe~~"

……

Seeing that Hamajima Chukai happily accepted the cosmetics, Bai Ye also saw hope to continue the strategy.

"By the way, I have something for you, Senior Bai Ye." Bodao was drinking hot milk while picking up the bag he brought. "Although it's not a gift... well... it can be considered a gift. Senior, do you want to touch it like a lottery?"

"What are you doing?" Bai Ye took the bag and said with a sidelong glance, "Anyone in their right mind would know this is a manuscript. They asked me to pay for printing it and said they were giving it to me as a gift. This is the first time I've seen this in my life."

"Hehe (/ω＼)"

This level of teasing makes Bo Island feel comfortable and enjoyable when going out to sea.

"I really am giving it to you, Senior~~ After printing it, the original manuscript will be given to you, so you don't have to return it to me."

"Really?" Bai Ye looked surprised.

As far as he knew, cartoonists cherished their original manuscripts very much and rarely gave them away.

"It's really true~~" Najima Chukai gave a serious expression, "Senior has always helped me, whether it's the comic convention booth or the cost of attending comic conventions, and now he's even giving me cosmetics. If I don't repay you, I will feel uneasy."

Bai Ye smiled and said nothing more.

"Thank you very much, I will keep it well."

"Uh-huh!"

Giving away the manuscript was a sign that Hajima Chukai understood the ways of the world, but Bai Ye felt that she was still not thoughtful enough.

What would Aki Tomoya think if he saw this manuscript?

Of course, he wouldn't point this out, and just let Aki Tomoya fall into the trap of jealousy and powerlessness.

"After finishing the works for the exhibition, what are your plans for Chuhai?"

"What are your plans..." Bodao Chuhai paused.

She knew the task at hand, and that was the source of her trouble.

She thought about it and decided to discuss it with Bai Ye first.

"Senior, do I need to report my work progress to you?"

"Don't be so cautious. I'm not a vampire who eats people without leaving any bones." Bai Ye smiled awkwardly and flicked his finger on her forehead. "Report on your work. I'll also tell you about the progress."

"Then I'll tell you, senior, please don't be angry."

"When you said this, I knew the result." Bai Ye looked indifferent.

"Uh... that's something I have to say~"

Bodao took another sip of hot milk and spoke in a flattering yet confident tone.

"I've been working on the Food Handbook for a while now, but the characters are starting to become more vivid in my mind! Senior, please understand~"

"I didn't say I didn't understand, then what?"

"There hasn't been much progress on 'Flash Girls', and so..." Hasuma Chukai lowered his eyes, his tone no longer playful.

Suddenly, she scratched her hair hard, and her expression changed from helpless to crazy.

"Ouch—it's so hard for me to be stuck between Byakuya-senpai and Aki-senpai. I have to be so careful about everything I do. It's so troublesome! What's wrong with you two, seniors?!"

"I thought you'd calmed down after a month. I thought you'd sit down and talk calmly. Why are you arguing again?"

"What on earth happened the day before yesterday?!"

Faced with her series of questions, Bai Ye took a sip of Coke.

When Bai Ye analyzed what had just happened since she left the sea on Hashima Island, she concluded that she most likely learned it from Hashima Iori, not directly from Aki Tomoya.

If not for this, Bodao Chuhai should have known at least about the content of the quarrel and would not be so clueless as he is now.

Preconceived ideas can dominate a person's impression and are difficult to erase, and Bai Ye intends to take advantage of this.

"I didn't want to argue with Amai-san, but unfortunately, it didn't go my way. I can't say who started it first, but the atmosphere was like the sweltering heat before a storm. The storm was inevitable, and having a roof over our heads was a blessing."

Through the vivid description of the white night, going out to sea on the island of Bo felt as if you were there in person, and you could feel the tense atmosphere head-on, and you couldn't help but frown.

"so serious?"

There will be a follow-up to yesterday’s post in the evening.

Chapter 423: Contest, in the Undercurrent

Because he didn't know how much Hashima Ichikai knew from Hashima Iori, Bai Ye didn't dare to sway the topic too much towards his own advantage. After thinking it over, he decided to narrate the whole thing from his own perspective.

Of course, the fact that he secretly kissed Kato Megumi and touched Shiyu was concealed.

"I'm not sure how much you know, Chuhai classmate. I'll just explain it from my own perspective. Perhaps you'll have your own opinions and ideas, or perhaps you know something I don't. If you don't mind, you can discuss it with me later."

"Yeah!" Bodao Chuhai agreed without hesitation.

She still remembered what Bai Ye had said before, "Use your own eyes to witness the facts," and decided to rely on herself to judge right from wrong based on what Bai Ye and her brother said.

"The day before yesterday, Amaki-san took a job at Yorozuya and came to help out in my warehouse. Of course, I don't think he knew about it beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have come, and I wouldn't be unprepared."

"You know, Izumi-san, Amaki-san likes Xiaohui, and Xiaohui likes me. It just so happened that I was working in the warehouse with Shiyu, Xiaohui, Eriri, and the others at the time."

"When she saw me and Xiaohui working together, Ayi got angry. Xiaohui, thinking it was better to do it today than today, decided to tell her everything clearly and apologized to Ayi for what she had done before."

"In the end, Aki refused to accept the apology and cursed a few times. Shiyu couldn't stand it and talked back. Eriri also interrupted a few times, and then everyone started arguing."
