“That’s Kagami Miu-senpai,” Umaru whispered to Chen Xiao on tiptoe, “a national idol who recently transferred to our school…”
Before she could finish speaking, a paparazzi suddenly rushed forward, his camera almost shoved in Meiyu's face: "Ms. Meiyu, do you have someone you like?"
Meiyu took a half step back. Although she had never been in a relationship, she didn't want to get involved in gossip or scandals.
A figure walked over and blocked Meiyu's way.
"That's enough." Chen Xiao's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the noisy corridor.
His amber eyes swept across the crowd, and the paparazzi involuntarily took a few steps back.
"It's Chen Xiao!! The number one male god of Zongwu High School!"
"so hot!!"
"Standing next to Miss Miyu, they are a perfect match!"
Meiyu looked up, her sunglasses slipping down her nose to reveal a pair of clear, doe-like brown eyes.
The moment their eyes met, her heart skipped a beat—this boy's eyes... were so deep they seemed to devour everything, and his lips always held a gentle smile.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Chen Xiao gentlemanly released her hand, but then subtly traced a line across her palm: "Do idols get nervous too?"
Mei Yu's ear tips turned slightly red. "No way! I've only been in the industry for half a year, and I've only filmed some rural movies at most!"
"Rural movies?"
"They're just ordinary movies that resonate with everyday life! Similar to edits on short video websites, movies that showcase the unique characteristics of our island nation!" Miyu explained.
She was used to being adored, but she had never encountered anything like this before—neither the fervor of fans nor the insincere gaze of those in the industry.
That gaze... was like admiring a work of art that was about to be acquired.
"I'm Kagami Miu." She extended her hand. "May I ask who you are...?"
“Chen Xiao.” He took her hand and gently rubbed his thumb against her slender wrist. “Your new fan.”
The corridor lights suddenly flickered, and for a fleeting moment, Meiyu vaguely saw Chen Xiao's pupils turn into vertical pupils, but upon closer inspection, they returned to normal.
"Ms. Miyu!" came the assistant's anxious voice, "You're going to be late for the next appearance!"
Meiyu hesitated to let go of Chen Xiao's hand, and said softly, "I'll be going on the school trip tomorrow too! Nice to meet you, Chen Xiao-kun!..."
Umaru and Ebina exchanged a glance and frowned simultaneously.
Chen Xiao whispered in Mei Yu's ear, "I've discovered a unique magic about you. Whenever you're by my side, my eyes can't leave you. You're so charming, what if someone else snatches you away?"
He leaned down and whispered to Meiyu, causing the idol girl to cover her mouth and giggle, two blushes rising on her cheeks. "Really, Chen Xiao, stop teasing me." She secretly looked at Chen Xiao, whose amber eyes possessed a fatal charm, and whose hormones seemed to have a fatal attraction that could easily capture her at any moment.
P.S.: If I have a baby, what's a good name for her? Like, Misaka Mikoto? Or maybe a female character from a popular anime? o(*￣︶￣*)o.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: School Trip, Beauties Gather, Chen Xiao's Night Battle with All-Female Anime Characters
Early in the morning, the bus stopped at the intersection. Sunlight shone through the bus windows, bathing the interior in a flowing golden glow.
Chen Xiao sat by the window, his slender fingers tapping the armrest of the chair intermittently, a contented smile on his lips.
Today is the first day of our school trip in Chiba Prefecture.
The homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, was looking down at the list in the student handbook.
Yukino Yukinoshita sat beside Chen Xiao, her icy blue eyes always gazing out the window, deliberately keeping her distance.
Yui Yuigahama sat on the other side of the aisle, while Yukiko swayed gently with the bumps of the vehicle.
"Chen Xiao, classmate~"
A sweet voice broke the silence.
The girl dragged her luggage and slowly walked onto the car, her long, dark brown hair shimmering with a honey-colored glow in the morning light.
She was wearing a crisp white dress today, which made her skin look as white as snow, attracting the attention of the boys on the bus.
"Can I sit here?" She pointed to the empty seat in front of Chen Xiao, but her eyes were fixed on him.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "Of course."
"Seriously, what is it about Chen Xiao that makes him so charming that even the big star Kagami Miu has gotten involved with him?" Miura Yumiko muttered to herself, fiddling with her hair.
Ebina chuckled softly: "Didn't Yumiko also secretly praise Chen Xiao for being handsome?"
"Hmph! Don't think I'll envy you just because you're dating Chen Xiao. I could never condone Chen Xiao having a harem!"
Yumiko Miura observed Chen Xiao's handsome face and found that he was even more handsome than before.
Hayato Hayama is no longer comparable to Chen Xiao.
Ye Shan was talking with his friends, and he felt that he was different from Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao is a womanizer, while Hayama Hayato has someone he loves and would never be promiscuous.
The person he likes is Yukino Yukinoshita's older sister, Haruno Yukinoshita.
After Meiyu sat down, Chen Xiao glanced at the luggage she was carrying and said, "Our school trip is only for two days, right? There's no need for you to bring so much luggage."
“My mom and sisters are going somewhere else the day after tomorrow... so I brought all my spare clothes with me.”
"Where are you going?"
"I heard that the hot springs in this place called Baizhuo Village are amazing... and a documentary filmmaker is planning to make a documentary about the village for us."
Upon hearing this, Yukino frowned and turned sharply to look at Chen Xiao, her icy blue pupils slightly contracting—she remembered this place name all too clearly.
Just a few days ago at the funeral, Chen Xiao talked about the Bai Zhuo Village in front of Miyamoto Yumi.
"That's quite a coincidence," Hiratsuka Shizuka said thoughtfully. "I remember Chen Xiao also mentioned that he planned to go to Shiratani Village in a few days? He said that at Umaru's brother's funeral."
"Hmm?" Meiyu looked at Chen Xiao curiously. "Does Chen Xiao-jun know about Baizhuo Village?"
"It's nothing, I just happened to want to go there and take a look. After all, that place is so remote, and I sometimes want to experience rural life."
Just then, Yumi Miyamoto stepped into the carriage, her police boots tapping crisply on the floor.
She walked straight to the empty seat next to Meiyu and sat down, her sharp gaze sweeping over Chen Xiao: "I hope nothing unexpected happens on this trip."
Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow: "Officer, what's this...?"
"Just routine." Miyamoto Yumi took off her police cap, her short hair neatly tucked behind her ears, but she couldn't hide the slight blush on her ears.
Her gaze met Chen Xiao's in the air, as if invisible sparks flew. Every time she saw Chen Xiao, her heart would flutter.
Chen Xiao smiled without saying a word; Miyamoto Yumi had still fallen for it.
This trip to Shiratani Village felt a bit strange, especially since I originally planned to use it to deal with Yumi Miyamoto.
The group arrived at the campsite and saw a group of elementary school students playing there.
Hayato Hayama warmly welcomed the children.
"Chen Xiaojun!"
Kitami Reika, Takashiro Hiroko, Saeki Kaori, and Shiraki Rie walked towards Chen Xiao, with Morimoto Leona and Morimoto Reina leading the way.
The beautiful women surrounded Chen Xiao.
Hayato Hayama frowned. "Even if you have many girlfriends, don't deliberately show them off in front of everyone. There are so many elementary school students around."
"I'm so envious! Why does Chen Xiao have so many girlfriends!"
People around Chen Xiao cast envious glances at him.
Yukino Yukinoshita was reading a book with her head down, pretending not to see anything.
Yui Yuigahama swallowed hard, but her eyes were fixed on Chen Xiao as she recalled the first time she met him. Chen Xiao had helped her out of a predicament and even mocked Yumiko Miura.
"Hey, Kitami, how have you been lately?" Chen Xiao greeted Kitami and patted Morimoto Leona hard on the back.
Leona Morimoto let out a shy cry and hugged Chen Xiao even tighter.
Kitami Reika sighed. Takashiro Hiroko, Saeki Kaori, and Shiraki Rie seemed like completely different people, making even the kind-hearted Kitami feel like a stranger. She had already accepted Takashiro and the others' apology.
"I've let it go, and I've been quite happy lately."
Chen Xiao gently stroked her face and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I will take responsibility for you. I had no choice but to have a relationship with you in order to save you."
Kitami gazed at Chen Xiao with a wistful look, recalling the memory of connecting with Chen Xiao that night. She felt no resentment, but rather a little shy.
"Chen Xiao, what exactly do you want?" Bei Jian asked rhetorically.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I want you... to always remain this pure." His breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe, "Just like when I first met you."
Kitami's ear tips instantly turned red.
She understood, of course, that she was just a pawn on Chen Xiao's chessboard, but strangely, she couldn't feel any resentment at all—because this man had indeed rescued her from Gao Cheng Hiroko's clutches and even given her an unprecedented sense of security.
Leo Morimoto waved her hand, and a group of workers appeared, carrying goods, intending to build a temporary villa on a distant hilltop. Under Leona's brutal coercion, no one dared to refuse her.
Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her forehead, looking helpless.
Chen Xiao said calmly, "Leona...we're enjoying a picnic, don't use your domineering nature to pressure others!"
"I'm sorry, Master Chen Xiao! I was wrong!" Leona knelt before Chen Xiao, hugging him tightly. "Please don't blame me!" After saying that, Morimoto Leona glared at the people nearby. "Now, all workers, disperse immediately!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Leona Morimoto waved her hand and ordered, "Get out of here right now! I'll pay you your wages!"
The workers scattered like birds and beasts.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Leona Morimoto linked arms with Chen Xiao.
"Master Chen Xiao, are you satisfied now?"
"Well done. Alright, everyone, let's help set up the tents!" Chen Xiao said casually.
Kitami, Takashiro, Saeki Kaori, Leona, Morimoto Reina, and others gathered around Chen Xiao to help set up the tent and light the campfire.
Chapter Thirty: Is this paradise? This harem is just too much!
After everyone set up the campfire and tents.
