Crossover Anime: Winning over Misako Amamiya at the start

He looked around and found that this so-called "dormitory" was unbelievably luxurious—a spacious living room, an open kitchen, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking even a small garden. Fresh bouquets sat on the coffee table, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

(Reina Morimoto... she really went all out.)

He went to the kitchen, skillfully boiled water and took tea leaves, his movements as elegant as if he were performing a tea ceremony.

Before long, a steaming cup of black tea was ready, its aroma filling the air.

"Saori-san?" Chen Xiao gently knocked on her door. "The tea is ready."

A flurry of noise came from inside the door, as if someone had accidentally bumped into something.

A few seconds later, the door was carefully opened a crack, and Saori Otokawa peeked out, her blush still not completely gone.

"Th-thank you..." she whispered, her gaze darting away, unable to meet Chen Xiao's eyes.

Chen Xiao handed her the teacup, his fingertips "inadvertently" brushing against the back of her hand.

Saori nearly dropped the cup as if she'd been electrocuted.

"Be careful, it's hot." Chen Xiao's voice was deep and gentle, with a hint of a smile.

Saori held the teacup, her heart pounding.

She secretly looked up and met Chen Xiao's amber eyes—eyes that seemed to be filled with starlight, so deep that one couldn't help but be captivated.

Her body trembled slightly, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

"I...I'll go to the living room to drink!" she said, like a startled little rabbit.

Chen Xiao followed her leisurely and sat down next to her.

The sofa was spacious, but he deliberately chose a spot closest to her, close enough to smell the faint fragrance of her hair.

"Is Saori in Class C of the first year of high school?" He tilted his head slightly, his voice carrying just the right amount of intimacy.

"Huh?" Saori looked up in surprise. "Chen Xiao...remembers me?"

"Of course," Chen Xiao chuckled. "Although it's the first time I've met you, I feel a sense of familiarity with you."

Saori said softly, "You think so too?"

Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly, but continued her sweet talk, "When I see you, I always feel like I've fallen in love at first sight."

"Ugh..." Saori's face turned bright red instantly, and she almost knocked over the teacup in her hand.

She lowered her head in a panic, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt. "S-Senior, please don't joke like that..."

"I'm not joking." Chen Xiao reached out and gently stroked her face, his voice full of affection. "I'm serious."

Saori froze on the spot, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode.

She never imagined that the aloof and cold male god at school would be so...so good at flirting in private!

"I...I'll go check if dinner's ready!" She jumped up and rushed towards the kitchen, only to trip over the edge of the carpet—

"what!"

Just as she was about to fall, a warm and strong arm wrapped around her waist.

Chen Xiao steadily pulled her back into his arms, the two of them so close they could hear each other's heartbeats.

He stroked her cheek. "You have to be careful. It will break my heart if you get hurt."

Saori's brain completely shut down.

(This is...this is way too unfair!)

Just then, the sound of a key turning came from the entryway—

"I'm back~" Morimoto Reina's languid voice rang out from the doorway, "Saori, did you give our 'special student' a good welcome?"

Saori seemed to wake from a dream, hurriedly breaking free from Chen Xiao's embrace, her face as red as a ripe apple.

Lena walked into the living room, her gaze sweeping between the two of them, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face: "Chen Xiao, I've come at the wrong time. Have I disturbed you and Saori?"

Chen Xiao was secretly on guard. The difference between Lena and Leona was that she wasn't jealous at all.

What is her purpose?

"Wait here for a while," Lena said, glancing at the time. "Leona will be here in half an hour."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her outer robe, revealing her perfect figure...

"Could we perhaps avoid suspicion a little?" Chen Xiao sighed and sat down to sip his tea calmly.

"Who do you think is prettier, me or that girl?"

Chapter Nineteen: I Like Innocent Women

Lena's purple outer robe fell to the ground, revealing a black halter-neck dress, and her graceful figure was alluring and charming under the light.

Lena chuckled softly, almost touching his earlobe: "So which style do you prefer? Is it Leona, that haughty young lady type..."

"Or is it me...—a man-eating older sister?"

Saori stood to the side, her face flushed red, her whole body feeling as if it were being roasted in flames.

Chen Xiao remained expressionless, his slender fingers gently pressing against Lena's chin, pushing her away a short distance: "I won't give you an answer right now."

Lena's expression instantly turned cold. She straightened up, a dangerous glint flashing in her purple eyes: "Interesting."

Soft footsteps sounded outside the door. The sound of the doorknob turning brought an abrupt silence to the room.

Leona Morimoto stepped into the room in her high heels. She casually glanced at the three people inside, a haughty smile curving her red lips.

"It's quite lively here." Leona casually tossed her coat onto the sofa, revealing a form-fitting burgundy dress underneath. She sat on Chen Xiao's lap, her fingertips tracing his exquisitely handsome face, her gaze sweeping contemptuously over her sister and Otokawa Saori.

Chen Xiao leaned back on the sofa, observing the two sisters with great interest. Leona's reaction was unexpected—there was no expected rage, but rather a certain composure of certainty.

“Now,” Leona snapped her fingers, her voice like a queen issuing a decree, “the three of us go take a bath.”

Lena raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in her purple eyes: "Oh?"

Saori Otokawa shrank back like a frightened animal, her long, azure hair falling down to cover her flushed cheeks.

"and then?"

Leona looked down at him. "When we come out... you have to choose one." She proudly raised her chin. "Of course, the answer is obvious."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. "Interesting. Since you're so confident, why bother with all this?" He glanced meaningfully at Reina and Saori. "Why didn't you just let me choose you?"

“A powerful rose,” Leona said, glancing disdainfully at the other two, “always needs weeds to set off its beauty.”

Lena suddenly laughed out loud, lazily lifting her purple dress: "Maybe... Chen Xiao prefers ripe fruit~" She pointedly puffed out her chest, revealing her curves beneath the silk nightgown.

"Me...do I have to participate too?" Saori Otokawa asked timidly, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her skirt.

The two sisters turned their heads at the same time and said in unison, "You're just a prop."

Saori's face instantly drained of color, and tears welled up in her azure eyes. She lowered her head, her slender shoulders trembling slightly.

Chen Xiao's gaze swept between the three of them, finally settling on Saori, and he smiled without saying a word.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually subsided, and wisps of steam escaped from the crack in the door, carrying a faint scent of roses and jasmine.

Chen Xiao sat on the sofa in the living room, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest, her gaze calmly fixed on the direction of the bathroom.

finally--

The bathroom door was pushed open.

Leona Morimoto was the first to emerge, her long, wet golden hair cascading over her shoulders, water droplets sliding down her snow-white skin, displaying her perfect figure without any attempt to conceal it. Her red lips were slightly upturned, and her eyes radiated absolute confidence.

"So, Chen Xiao?" She tilted her head slightly, her tone provocative. "Now, it's time to make a choice."

Immediately after, Reina Morimoto walked out slowly, wearing purple lace, though it didn't really matter whether she wore it or not. She leaned lazily against the door frame, her long legs crossed, and looked at Chen Xiao with seductive eyes.

"Don't disappoint me~" Her voice carried a dangerous undertone.

The last one to appear was Saori Otokawa.

She timidly hid behind the two men, her long, wet, azure hair clinging to her cheeks, her fair skin flushed a faint pink with shyness. She kept her head down, her hands gripping the edge of the towel tightly, as if she wanted to hide herself completely.

Three beautiful, delicate bodies stood before Chen Xiao, completely exposed, awaiting his choice.

Leona arrogantly raised her chin: "Choose, Chen Xiao."

Chen Xiao's gaze slowly swept over the three people, finally settling on Otokawa Saori.

"I choose her."

The air solidified instantly.

Leona's expression froze. Her eyes widened as she stared at Chen Xiao in disbelief: "You... what did you say?"

Lena's purple eyes narrowed slightly, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Oh? Interesting..."

Saori Otokawa looked up abruptly, her azure eyes filled with shock and panic: "I...I?!"

Chen Xiao stood up and walked straight to Saori: "Yes, it's you."

Leona should have been angry, she should have been furious, but when she looked into Chen Xiao's amber eyes, the anger in her heart inexplicably died down, replaced by an indescribable flutter.

(Why...why can't I get angry?)

She bit her lower lip, glaring at Chen Xiao with resentment, but her body seemed to betray her will, her heart racing and her cheeks burning.

Lena chuckled softly as she slowly approached Chen Xiao, a dangerous glint in her purple eyes: "Chen Xiao... you're more interesting than I imagined."

Her voice was low and hoarse: "But do you think you can get rid of us like this?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, his gaze deep: "I've never thought of it that way."

Saori Otokawa stood to the side, practically burning with anxiety. She couldn't understand why Chen Xiao had chosen her, nor could she understand why the Morimoto sisters' reaction was so strange.

What... what on earth is going on?!

Leona took a deep breath, then suddenly turned and walked towards the bedroom: "Do as you please!"

Her voice trembled slightly, clearly her pride wouldn't allow her to stay and embarrass herself any longer.

Lena glanced at Chen Xiao with interest, her red lips parting slightly: "The game... has only just begun."

After saying that, she turned and left gracefully, leaving Chen Xiao and a blushing Saori Otokawa standing there.

Saori lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "Senior Chen Xiao...why did you choose me?"
