Me, The Top of the Hunk List?

Night fell.

Xu Nuo lay on his bed, hands tucked behind his head, staring at the ceiling as he reviewed the day's actions.

The Anonymous Account had been received and was ready for use at any time.

The Notice Letter...

If nothing went wrong.

His dear brother-in-law should have already unraveled the mystery.

After all.

The riddle wasn't particularly difficult; it could even be called straightforward, not to mention the presence of the pawn, Nagumo Miyabi.

That was right.

Xu Nuo had deliberately made contact with the Vice President.

The goal went without saying, and the subsequent events were all interlinked; he had calculated every single step.

The only surprise.

Was running into Tachibana Akane.

It was a bit of a pity he hadn't crossed paths with Horikita Manabu.

Otherwise, it would have been even more interesting.

"Huu..."

Xu Nuo exhaled, sat up, and rubbed his head, muttering to himself, "Now it's just a matter of seeing how my brother-in-law makes his move. I wonder if he'll be able to catch me?"

He couldn't help but smile.

"Beep--"

Suddenly.

His phone chimed. Xu Nuo raised an eyebrow; who would be messaging him at this hour?

He took it out and looked.

"It's Kei..."

Xu Nuo blinked, recalling the aftermath of the event.

At that time.

"...Little Crybaby."

The moment he uttered that nickname, a warm body pressed against him, hugging Xu Nuo tightly.

Karuizawa Kei.

This girl who disguised herself as a gyaru.

At this moment, she could no longer maintain her usual tough facade. Tears fell like water, and she clung to Xu Nuo's body, her voice choked with sobs.

"D-did I hear that right?"

"Nuo-kun... do you still remember the unremarkable me?"

As for what happened next.

Naturally, Xu Nuo comforted the girl, only for her to suddenly become shy, add him on social media, and run off.

"I still prefer the way she used to sweetly call me Onii-chan when she was little."

Xu Nuo sighed.

He then opened Line to check.

[Karuizawa Kei]: Nuo-kun, will you go out with me? I know this is very abrupt, but...

There was a whole lot more after that, but it was all just nonsense.

Things about "heart-fluttering" and so on.

A confession?

"Tch."

Xu Nuo raised an eyebrow. He wasn't the type to give up an entire forest for the sake of a single flower.

What's more.

She wasn't telling the truth at all.

"Is she swapping her parasitic host from Hirata to me?"

Xu Nuo recalled the events surrounding Karuizawa Kei from the original story, and for a moment, he felt a headache coming on.

Bullying, parasitism, scars...

And more importantly, that deeply affected heart.

He thought for a moment.

He typed a reply.

[Xu Nuo]: Let's talk in person tomorrow.

However.

The message was read but left unanswered, sinking like a stone into the sea.

Xu Nuo shrugged, not minding it much as he set his phone aside, turned off the lights, and lay back down.

He began to sleep.

The next day.

Xu Nuo walked into the classroom and, as usual, was met with the furtive gazes of several girls. Fortunately, after two days, it was no longer the grand spectacle of the entire class staring at him.

One of them.

Was none other than Karuizawa Kei, who immediately retracted her gaze in a panic upon realizing she had been spotted.

Other than that.

Everything was the same as yesterday.

Except... his neighbor's seat was empty.

That was rare.

Horikita Suzune, that paragon of self-discipline and high-mountain flower, had actually arrived later than him.

Xu Nuo didn't pay it much mind, pulling out his chair to sit down.

Class hadn't started yet.

The surroundings were noisy and filled with chatter.

"Hey, did you hear? Xu Nuo from our class is ranked first on the 'Handsome Guy Ranking' on the forum!"

"Really? Though, he is undeniably handsome..."

"Tch, what's the use of just being handsome? He's still just a chuunibyou."

First place in the Handsome Guy Ranking?

Xu Nuo was speechless.

Who was bored enough to create such a ranking?

Great.

Combined with the events of the past two days, his name would likely become quite famous among the first-year students.

On the other side.

The boys' discussion was much more direct.

They were openly and brazenly discussing the breast sizes of the girls in the class, occasionally breaking into arguments.

"I declare—"

"Haruka-chan's breasts are the best!"

Yamauchi Haruki was spitting as he spoke, his expression incredibly lewd, shouting and yelling without the slightest attempt to hide his excitement.

"Agreed!" Ike Kanji nodded in deep agreement.

The two's words and behavior.

Successfully drew angry and disgusted glares from the girls. If not for Hirata standing by with a bitter smile to mediate, the two groups would likely have started a fight right then and there.

Tsk.

How ugly.

Xu Nuo's eyes turned cold. He propped his face up with one hand and turned his head to look out the window, too lazy to watch this farce.

Just then.

A sweet voice rang out beside his ear.

"Good morning, Xu Nuo-kun!"

Xu Nuo looked up.

He saw.

A blonde girl standing timidly in front of him.

She had light-gold, shoulder-length hair, with a few bangs resting obediently against her forehead, making her palm-sized face look even more adorable. Her purple eyes were round, and her skin was as white as snow, without a single blemish.

Her figure was slightly petite but well-endowed.

She was the typical "baby-faced with a big bust" type.

Through her well-fitted school uniform, one could see the bulging curves of her chest, while her waist remained slender.

—A slender branch bearing heavy fruit.

White over-the-knee socks encased her plump thighs.

They were pulled tight enough to reveal a soft, fleshy texture.

The blonde girl stood beside him, looking dainty and pretty with a sweet smile on her face, her purple eyes squinting into adorable crescent moons.

Kushida Kikyo.

The little sun of Class D, the undisputed class idol.

The moment she appeared.

The surrounding noise instantly dropped by several decibels, and the many gazes that had been stealing glances at Xu Nuo immediately shifted into a salute of attention toward her.

"Mm."

"Good morning."

Calmly withdrawing his scrutinizing gaze, Xu Nuo replied politely, feeling somewhat surprised that she had initiated the conversation.

To be honest.

He had no fondness for this Two-Faced Emperor.

Of course, that didn't hinder Xu Nuo's appreciation of her beauty; after all, she truly possessed an angelic appearance.

High EQ: Appreciating beauty.

Low EQ: Lusting after her body.

This unremarkable response left Kushida slightly stunned; this guy hadn't even stood up.

This caught the girl off guard.

After all.

Having grown accustomed to the sycophantic attitudes of other boys, this was the first time she had encountered someone like this.

Finally, not one of those monkeys in heat every single day...

I'm about to puke from seeing them every day!

Her body relaxed inexplicably, and Kushida Kikyo quickly adjusted, smiling even more brightly as she clasped her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly.

"Xu Nuo-kun—"

Yosh!

This posture shows off my cuteness perfectly without looking deliberate. A perfect angle.

"That 'Phantom Thief' thing you mentioned during your self-introduction the other day."

"It was really cool!"

"Everyone says you're a bit chuunibyou, but I don't think so at all. I think it shows that Xu Nuo-kun is someone with a unique worldview—"

"Super cool!"

If these words had come from anyone else, they would probably have been taken as sarcasm.

However.

These came from Little Angel Kikyo.

Paired with her sparkling purple eyes, her look of adoration, and her sincere, earnest tone.

Looking like this.

Who wouldn't be bewitched!

Even though Xu Nuo knew it was fake, he felt quite comfortable hearing it; it was much better than that sharp-tongued girl.

"Kushida-san, may I ask if there's something you need?"

Xu Nuo asked with a smile.
