Kushida Gives In

She had always had someone else in her heart, so winning her over would be difficult.

"Whatever. If I can have her, great. If not, it doesn't matter."

Ye Yunchuan shrugged.

He wasn't about to become some lovesick puppy just to win a woman's heart.

"Does this guy really not care at all?"

Sakayanagi felt a little disappointed.

At that moment, she realized what kind of person Ye Yunchuan was.

He was extremely pragmatic.

He only wanted her body and didn't care whether she had someone else in her heart.

Until she gave him her heart, he probably wouldn't give her the Superpower Serum.

And the fact that he had told her what the Super Power Potion could do was really a calculated move.

He wanted her to pursue him.

To forget Ayanokoji completely and give herself to him, body and soul.

He had her mindset and her weakness firmly in his grasp.

Sakayanagi suddenly realized something.

This man might just be her lifelong nemesis!

Kushida Gives In

"Yunchuan, why did you bring back so many women again? You big pervert, lecher, H!"

Seeing Ye Yunchuan bring back so many women yet again, Karuizawa Kei was clearly very unhappy.

"Exactly! How can you do this to Kei? To us?"

"You insatiable beast."

Shinohara Satsuki and Sato Maya chimed in.

"Fine. I won't have dinner tonight. I'll just eat you two!"

Ye Yunchuan narrowed his eyes.

He had to admit, after going a day without putting these girls in their place, they were getting way too bold.

"Eat us?!"

"Are you joking?"

The two girls looked horrified, but their gazes toward Ye Yunchuan held a faint hint of anticipation.

"Wouldn't that just be giving them what they want?"

Their strange looks made Ye Yunchuan wonder if he was helping the enemy by doing this.

"Welcome back, Yunchuan. Who are these sisters...?"

By contrast, Shiina Hiyori showed no sign of jealousy at all.

"What's going on? I had no idea you had so many women."

Sakayanagi Arisu frowned slightly.

Even Sakayanagi Arisu found it hard to accept the sudden news that Ye Yunchuan had so many women.

After all, she was the daughter of a wealthy family.

How could she share a man with so many women?

"If you can't accept it, you can leave."

Ye Yunchuan's indifferent response met her haughty challenge. He barely even glanced at her as he walked into the room.

"You..."

Sakayanagi Arisu hadn't expected Ye Yunchuan to be so unyielding.

She had originally wanted to give him a hard time, but could only fall silent and follow him inside, fuming.

"I'm Sakayanagi Arisu from Class 1-A. It's nice to meet you. I hope we'll get along!"

Though she was displeased with Ye Yunchuan's forceful attitude, Sakayanagi had no intention of giving up on attaching herself to him.

As soon as she saw Shiina Hiyori, she went over to greet her.

"This one won't be easy to deal with!"

Just one look was enough for Shiina to realize that this petite girl would be a formidable rival. Still, out of courtesy, she smiled and said:

"I'm Shiina Hiyori from Class 1-B. It's nice to meet you!"

"Interesting!"

Sakayanagi Arisu narrowed her eyes.

A woman's intuition told her that this was a worthy opponent.

As they met each other's gaze, it seemed as though sparks might fly between them.

"What are you looking at? Get over here!"

Ye Yunchuan realized what was going on and shouted at her.

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

Sakayanagi looked bewildered.

"Yes, you. Get over here, now!"

Ye Yunchuan glared at her coldly.

"Okay, I'm coming."

Sakayanagi immediately gave up her standoff with Shiina Hiyori and walked over as obediently as a kitten.

"I'm Kamuro Masumi. It's nice to meet you!"

As a good little dog, Kamuro Masumi had a keen sense of smell.

She could tell at a glance that Shiina was the one in charge.

Her manner became a little ingratiating.

"Morishita Ran!"

Morishita Ran's manner was neither cold nor warm.

To be honest, she just wanted to be a laid-back concubine.

She didn't want to get involved in the war between the Empress and the favorite consort.

"What beautiful girls!"

Shiina Hiyori's eyes lit up.

Even she had to admire Ye Yunchuan's taste.

Kamuro Masumi aside, each of the other girls he'd brought back was more beautiful than the last.

Sakayanagi Arisu and Morishita Ran were both stunning beauties on Shiina's level.

On closer inspection, the girls at this school were generally quite good-looking.

"We're all sisters from now on. I hope we can get along!"

"Did you call me over for something?"

Sakayanagi glanced at him, clearly a little annoyed.

"Sit."

Ye Yunchuan patted the bed, signaling for her to sit down.

Sakayanagi hesitated, but eventually straightened her skirt and sat beside Ye Yunchuan.

"What did you call me over for?"

When Ye Yunchuan remained silent for a while, Sakayanagi was the first to lose patience.

"What for? What do you think I should do?"

Ye Yunchuan said with a mischievous grin.

"Huh?!" Sakayanagi Arisu's expression changed drastically. Her face reddened as she said, "Wait, you're not planning to do that with me here, are you... No, there are too many people around. I won't accept such an unreasonable request!"

"Heh, dream on. Did I say I wanted to do that with you?"

Ye Yunchuan looked at her coldly.

"Ugh... You tricked me."

Sakayanagi Arisu blushed with embarrassment and was so angry she nearly hit him.

"Here."

Before Sakayanagi Arisu could react, a bottle of milk landed on her pale, slender legs.

"Huh?"

Sakayanagi looked utterly bewildered, as if she still hadn't quite processed what had happened.

She had to admit, the girl's short legs were really springy. The bottle of milk bounced twice before finally settling.

"Didn't you say you were hungry? Have something to eat and get your strength back."

With that, Ye Yunchuan placed a wrapped piece of bread on Sakayanagi Arisu's head.

"You..."

Sakayanagi Arisu's heart began to beat a little faster.

Ye Yunchuan's sudden tenderness had clearly touched her.

But that flicker of emotion soon vanished.

"Pfft! Now that I look at it, it really does look like a beret!"

As he spoke, Ye Yunchuan even patted the bread on Sakayanagi Arisu's head.

"..."

Sakayanagi Arisu stared at Ye Yunchuan without expression.

If looks could kill,

Ye Yunchuan would probably have died at her hands ten thousand times over.

[Are you there, Yunchuan? —Kushida Kikyo.]

[What is it?]

A day later, Kushida Kikyo's message came through again.

[Does what you said before still stand, Yunchuan?]

Ye Yunchuan's lips curled into a smile.

After three days without food, Kushida Kikyo clearly couldn't hold out any longer.

Actually, the fact that she'd lasted three days had surprised him.

Even he probably couldn't have gone more than a few days.

Kushida Kikyo was so stubborn that he had to admire her.
