Of Course Save the Younger Sister First

When Bai Ye arrived at the classroom in the morning, he heard that everyone in the hallways and the classroom was discussing one thing.

The incident of a male student running naked through the school yesterday had spread throughout the campus. Many people had secretly taken photos, and although they couldn't see the person's face, those who were interested had compared body types and found the few people most likely to be the culprit.

Yamauchi was among them, and he was the prime suspect.

"Yamauchi, this person couldn't really be you, could it?" Ike Kanji rushed toward Yamauchi Haruki with an excited expression, shoving a photo into his face as he asked.

Yamauchi's face turned ashen: "Get lost! This person isn't me! I was sleeping in my dorm yesterday; how could I possibly do something so shameless!"

Brushing off Ike Kanji's questioning, he felt the faint, lingering gazes drifting over from every corner of the classroom, and his mood plummeted to freezing point.

"What are you all looking at? I said it wasn't me! Someone must be jealous of my good looks and framed me on purpose, hmph!"

Yamauchi glared at those people, but the onlookers just chuckled and turned back to continue discussing the matter.

His gaze shifted to Bai Ye, who had just entered the classroom with a calm, expressionless face. His eyes held resentment, jealousy, panic, and a hint of unease.

He had never been this humiliated in his entire life. Fortunately, Bai Ye hadn't exposed him, or he wouldn't have the face to go out in public.

As for Sudo, the only other person who knew the truth, he had been silenced with several tens of thousands of points.

The mere thought of having spent those thousands of points for no reason made his heart ache.

He had to find a chance to get revenge, but he was currently helpless against Bai Ye. Even Sudo, the best fighter in the class, had been defeated. Who could he turn to?

Perhaps... let people from other classes...

But wouldn't doing that be equivalent to betraying the class?

No, no, the person he wanted to retaliate against was Bai Ye, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. How could that be considered betrayal? As long as he could make Bai Ye look bad, he would be satisfied. He was still a member of this class, and the others wouldn't ostracize him just because of Bai Ye alone.

Who should he look for...

Just as Yamauchi was lost in complex thoughts, he didn't notice a boy in the corner silently staring at him.

After a long while, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka withdrew his gaze.

Recalling what Bai Ye had said to him two days ago, his long-calm heart rippled once more.

Bai Ye had clearly confessed his identity and asked for his help, offering in return to help him achieve true freedom after graduation, or to help him eliminate his father, Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

He didn't think Bai Ye was being completely open with him, nor could he judge if the other party would truly fulfill his promise, but he currently only had two choices.

Either get Bai Ye expelled or temporarily agree to his terms.

Clearly, his confidence in getting Bai Ye expelled was less than 30%, and if he failed, he would have gained another powerful enemy. This was a terrible choice, and he didn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary.

So, in the end, there was only one viable option.

It was better to agree to him first, then search for his weaknesses to use as leverage to ensure he fulfilled his promise.

Last night, Bai Ye had told him about Yamauchi's naked run and warned him that Yamauchi might betray the class, asking him to keep an eye on him and collect evidence the moment he slipped up.

In return, he had revealed some of the school's rules, as well as the fact that Chabashira Sae might use lies to threaten him into helping the class advance.

That was enough.

Two more days passed.

For the past two days, Bai Ye had been troubled by one thing: how to improve Horikita Suzune's favorability.

Although Kushida's involvement had previously led her to mistakenly believe they had some unspeakable relationship, thanks to the combined efforts of Kushida and himself, the misunderstanding had finally been cleared up. Horikita had begun to trust him again, and their relationship was gradually moving toward friendship.

It was a pity, though; he still hadn't been officially recognized as a friend by Horikita.

Of course, the difficulty of becoming friends with Horikita was on a different level compared to others, because her definition of a friend was different from everyone else's.

First, a relationship of mutual trust had to be established, and Horikita didn't fully trust him yet.

At most, she had expressed a certain level of recognition for his abilities and only interacted with him because she had to seek his help.

He spent the whole day thinking about this. After school, he went to the spot where Hasebe usually lay to rest. The girl with the full figure and perfect curves was lying on the ground, showing off the beauty of her body to nature to her heart's content.

Hearing his footsteps, Hasebe sat up and waved at him: "Little Yeye, over here~"

"..."

The nickname "Little Yeye" had only started yesterday. For the first two days, they hadn't had much interaction, just lying on the grass soaking up the sun. But for some reason, Hasebe had taken the initiative to get close to him yesterday, not only lying beside him but also starting a conversation.

Although they were trivial topics, they had chatted quite happily. He also discovered that although Hasebe appeared cold and distant from everyone on the surface, she was actually someone who warmed up quickly and would affectionately give nicknames to friends she had just met.

Logically, he should have known these things as someone who had read the original work, but because he had read that book before transmigrating and so much time had passed, he had forgotten most of it and didn't have a deep impression of Hasebe.

"Little Yeye, what's wrong? You look like you've just had your heart broken."

He was too weak to struggle against this slightly embarrassing nickname; compared to "Little White," which sounded like a dog's name, he preferred this one.

"It's nothing, just encountered some difficulties and haven't figured out how to break the deadlock."

"Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you." Hasebe patted the grass beside her affectionately, signaling for him to sit over.

He walked over: "It's nothing much, and there's plenty of time anyway, so I'm not in a rush."

"Could it be... something related to romance?"

Hasebe blinked, the gossipy look in her eyes deepening.

"It's not that..."

"Since you won't say, I won't ask... but I'm still curious, is there any girl in class you like?"

"I don't know, how about you?"

"You tell me first, then I'll tell you."

Bai Ye suddenly felt a bit curious: "Well... there is one, now it's your turn."

"Hmm, I don't have anyone."

"Ha..." He slapped his forehead, feeling like he had been tricked, "Fine, actually I just treat that person like a little sister, it's not the kind of liking you're thinking of."

Bai Ye was glad Wang Meiyu wasn't here; otherwise, she would have spent the whole night feeling miserable after hearing that.

However, he didn't feel any guilt, because his love for his little sister was ten times stronger than it would be for a girlfriend.

If his little sister and his girlfriend both fell into the water at the same time, he would definitely save his little sister first.
