Temptation / Suzune Nanakumo

"How can you praise someone like that? Little Qi, really!"

"Hehe, I'm just telling the truth."

Aoyama looked embarrassed and lightly patted Asahina's arm to express his displeasure. Asahina, however, didn't seem to care and her smile widened even more.

Their skill levels are not at the same level.

Seeing Xu Zhi's completely natural expression, Aoyama didn't suspect her of harboring any ill intentions.

"In that case, if I want more after eating, I'll have to ask Senior Xuzhi for help." Aoyama reached out to Xuzhi, "Could you please add me as a friend on your phone?"

"Of course, Aoyama."

A hint of surprise flashed across his face. He took out his phone, tapped the screen several times, and then handed it to Aoyama.

"By the way, if you often make desserts in your dorm, there's something in my kitchen that you'll definitely be interested in," Aoyama said, adding himself as a friend on Xuzhi's phone.

"Please come inside with me, senior."

Asahina asked curiously, "What is it? I want to see too."

"Asahina- senpai, the kitchen is too cramped. We'll talk about it later."

He placed the instructions on his phone on the table and Aoyama up, gesturing for him to proceed.

Chapter 248 Temptation

"Tell me why Nagumo Faction you. Don't ask me how I know; just answer—"

"Or wait to drop out of school."

As soon as Xu Zhi entered the kitchen empty-handed, Aoyama immediately closed the door and questioned him with an unquestionable tone.

For him, it was Shuchi Moeka was just a minor character; the most important thing was whether he could use her to strike at Nagumo, who was behind her.

"I--"

You only have one chance; once it's over, it's over.

Staring coldly into Suzu's panicked eyes, Aoyama exerted maximum pressure on her. Asahina was still outside, and he didn't want to drag things out for too long.

"Nagumo asked me to frame your junior and get you expelled. The reward was Twenty Million Personal Points. I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed..."

There is absolutely no chance of successfully arguing or deceiving them.

If this person truly knows the inside story and isn't just bluffing, he really will drop out of school with me.

Meeting that gaze that seemed to hold deep malice, Xiaozhi's heart began to race, and she began to tell Aoyama what he wanted to know, while also inserting many excuses for herself.

She felt incredibly unlucky, having failed before even getting started, and regretted her audacity in getting involved in the competition between two Student Council Vice President.

"Continue with Nagumo's plan for now."

Having roughly grasped what Nagumo was planning, Aoyama, to avoid arousing Nagumo's suspicion while he was eavesdropping, immediately put the notice back in the outer room.

The cautious Nagumo had prepared someone else's cell phone beforehand, which was currently on a call and placed in his handbag, presumably to be used by someone else to eavesdrop.

"What's so interesting about it that you've been looking at it for so long?"

As soon as the two came out, Asahina, with her hands supporting her cheeks, pouted and expressed her displeasure at being left behind.

"The new machine's power switch is a bit unresponsive; I had to press it several times before it worked."

After casually brushing off Asahina, Aoyama sat down again and dealt with their conversation, focusing most of his attention on figuring out how to deliver a crushing blow to Nagumo.

This time, Nagumo is also using a non-stick pan. The contract he signed with Xuzhi is normal and compliant. As long as he withdraws from school before the Student Council election, he will receive Twenty Million Personal Points as a reward.

As for what method to use, that's none of his business, since it's not written in the contract anyway.

Moreover, he seemed quite adept at framing people; when instructing them on how to do it, Nagumo spoke to them face-to-face and checked beforehand whether there were any recording devices.

"By the way, junior, you haven't tried my bread yet."

Xu Zhi opened the bag that Aoyama had put aside, took out a dark, lacquered bread, and sat down almost touching Aoyama.

This is part of Nagumo's plan. The bread has been laced with something, but it's just a regular blood-tonifying medicine. Nagumo can get his hands on the famous male enhancement drug, but that would be too easy to trace.

"Ah, Moka, why are you sitting next to your junior?" Asahina sighed, somewhat exasperated by her incredibly easygoing best friend.

Xu Zhi revealed a charming smile, "I think my junior might also miss me feeding him."

"I dare not refuse the words of a beautiful woman."

Without refusing Xu Zhi's offer of food, Aoyama casually took a bite of the bread in Xu Zhi's hand and swallowed it in a few bites.

This is a school, so he's not afraid to lie and say that there's actually poison or something inside.

"Delicious! No wonder it was fed to me by my beautiful senior. I'll have another piece."

"Okay, let me feed my junior again."

Use a friendly tone; this indicates that you should start feeding again.

Seeing the two suddenly become close, Asahina felt a slight displeasure and an urge to separate them.

I'm cute too, okay? I've known you, junior, longer than you, so why did you act like a lecherous guy right away?

"I'm bored, let's play Monopoly," Asahina suggested.

In a three-person card game, one must know that one shouldn't just sit next to Aoyama and give away free cards.

"Let's play cards then."

With a slight smile, Aoyama agreed to Asahina's suggestion, snapped his fingers, and instantly conjured a deck of cards from nothing.

After acquiring the Card Throwing skill, he always carried a deck of cards with him, unless he was sleeping or taking a shower.

"Huh?! How did you do that, junior?"

Not only Asahina, but also Suzuki stared wide-eyed and slightly open-mouthed. Even though she was right next to Aoyama, she couldn't figure out how Aoyama had conjured up the cards.

"Nothing special, just speed." With a faint smile, he replied to Xu Zhi, and Aoyama once again demonstrated what it meant to deal cards with one hand.

After a mahjong game in which Aoyama won big, lasting about six or seven rounds, Asahina looked tired and stretched heavily.

"I feel sleepy very early today, Moka."

"Why don't we go back first today?"

Feeling her double eyelids trembling and about to close, Asahina didn't want to disturb her best friend's good time, but she also didn't want to leave her friend alone in the Aoyama dormitory.

"I'm having a great time with my junior. If you're sleepy, Nazuna, why don't you take a nap on the table? I'll wake you up when we leave." As Asahina expected Asahina refused.

"But..."

"No buts, Xiaoqi, go to sleep now."

He walked to Asahina's side and spoke gently, then quickly Asahina her hair to put her to sleep.

Then she returned to Aoyama's side and sat down close to Aoyama again.

"Junior, I'm so thirsty, could you give me a sip of water?"

"But not with a cup, we'll use this."

She gazed intently at Aoyama's handsome face, then lightly touched her own red lips with her finger.

According to Nagumo's plan, if she could seduce Aoyama and take Aoyama back to her room after curfew, then the 20 million would be hers.

Even if she couldn't, she should do everything in her power to seduce Aoyama with her body and amplify his masculine impulses.

Then, taking advantage of Aoyama's inattention, she opened the small video camera in her handbag, used the handbag to cover herself Asahina, and then made an excuse to leave Aoyama's room for a while.

"Use this? Do you think my senior likes me?"

"Yes, after all, junior is so good-looking, and tall and strong." Because of Aoyama's outstanding charm, even though she knew it was unnecessary, she didn't resist playing along and reached out to touch Aoyama's chest.

"Then I shall accept."

Grabbing Xuzhi's hand and shaking his head, Aoyama, under Xuzhi's shocked gaze, simulated the sounds of the two kissing.

"Senior's little snake is even tastier than bread." After stopping the simulation, Aoyama spoke in a teasing tone.

"... Senior has even better food, but we'll have to eat it in your room."

After a moment of surprise, Xu Zhi continued Aoyama's words, and as planned, offered an even more enticing suggestion.

"Going to the upperclassman's room? Then we can only reschedule for tomorrow." Aoyama's tone was full of regret, as if he was very sorry, "It's almost time for boys to be on the girls' floor."

"As the next Student Council President, I will not make a mistake here."

You still want to be the next Student Council President? You filthy thing.

On the other side, Nagumo, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, slammed his fist against the wall, inwardly furious.

If he couldn't entice Aoyama to make a mistake, then the only remaining bait was his childhood sweetheart, whom he had always been unable to obtain.

Chapter 249 Nagumo Suzune

It's not too late.

Listening to Aoyama's soft laughter over the phone, Nagumo clenched her fists again, wishing she could immediately stop Xuzhi from continuing to carry out the plan.

A word of caution to the useless: If you can't even be tempted by a mere Aoyama, you're useless! Useless!

And you bastard Aoyama, you won't even eat the prey that's been delivered right to your mouth. You should know that she's a beauty no matter how you look at her, so why did you have to take a fancy to my shepherd's purse?

Remembering that Kushida had said Aoyama had feelings for Asahina, Nagumo felt his blood surging even more intensely, and his whole body burning up.

If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to let his childhood sweetheart become a plaything used to lure Aoyama into making mistakes while lying in bed.

Even if it was just a matter of being touched by Aoyama's hand, it would still be a great humiliation for him. He didn't know whether he hoped Aoyama would fall for the trap or Aoyama.

"You see, it's hard to wake Xiaoqi once she's asleep, so junior, you don't need to worry about waking her. It's okay to speak a little louder."

On the other side, Xu Zhi Asahina's face as she was helped to bed, then excused herself, saying someone was urgently looking for her, and returned quickly after about ten minutes.

Aoyama did not object to this, and watched as Xu Zhi's beautiful figure disappeared from his sight.

As the sound of the door closing from the entryway completely disappeared, the room, now occupied by just the two of them, fell into a deathly silence.

"Having an annoying childhood friend like Nagumo, Asahina, you must be having a tough time." Knowing that Nagumo was still eavesdropping, Aoyama muttered to himself with a smug look on his face.

As far as he knew, Asahina had not only never dated Nagumo, but also did not have a single close male friend to this day.

She didn't have the kind of romantic feelings for Nagumo, which was why she bought the amulet for good fortune. However, it seemed that Nagumo wasn't planning to let go so easily.

Even though Nagumo himself had dated and broken up with several girlfriends, he still prevented other boys from getting close to Asahina, treating Asahina as his possession and protecting her.

However, it's not as good as Horikita Manabu.

With his back to the handbag left by Suzuki, Aoyama walked to the bedside and looked down at the sleeping Asahina. She seemed to be dreaming of something happy; the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, making her look incredibly cute with her delicate features.

In order to "purge the court of corrupt officials" and force him to drop out of school so that he could become the successor of Horikita Manabu, Nagumo was willing to use Asahina bait.

Why do you like Horikita Manabu so much? Is your nickname Nagumo Suzune?

While inwardly criticizing him, Aoyama bent down, bringing his head close to Asahina's face to create a misalignment, and then began to slightly twist his head, panting heavily and making sounds that sounded like he was plotting something.

After a while, he got up and sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze falling on the beautifully curved legs beneath the pleated skirt.

"I could admire those legs for a year."

You son of a bitch!

Want to play around for another year? Drop out of school, you bastard Aoyama!

With her face flushed, Nagumo immediately called Xu Zhi, who was waiting, and told her to rush back to Aoyama's dormitory immediately to stop Aoyama from continuing to harass his childhood sweetheart.

Although he had achieved his plan to drop out of Aoyama, Aoyama felt a sense of emptiness inside, as if he had failed, for some reason.

It's just that I was touched and kissed, that doesn't count. Anyway, Asahina will still be mine in the future.

Nagumo closed his eyes in anguish and began to use his mental fortitude.

Hehe, they can't sit still anymore.

Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Aoyama, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stopped fiddling with the air, got up and opened the door to welcome Xuzhi, who looked somewhat guilty and uneasy, into the room.

"Asahina- senpai is still asleep. I think we can go to the balcony and get closer."

He picked up Xuzhi in a princess carry and carried her through the door. Aoyama walked past the bed, which was being filmed by a camera, to the balcony, and then put Xuzhi down expressionlessly.

"After you leave my room with Asahina, don't report back to Nagumo immediately. Go back to your dorm first, extract and edit the footage from the camera, and then only show Nagumo the clip before I took action."

"As for the rest, he'll have to pay ten million first before he can get it."

Aoyama coldly spoke as he closed the balcony door.
