After leaving the cake shop, Long Aotian headed to Sakura Airi's dormitory to drop off the cake before taking his leave. It was fortunate that his willpower was strong; otherwise, he might not have been able to pull himself away.

He sent a few text messages to Ichinose and took the opportunity to transfer something over to her.

Long Aotian was in no rush to return to his dorm, instead making his way to a secluded corner of the campus.

Tucked away between the staggered academic buildings and lush, tree-lined paths lay a small sanctuary gently embraced by time. Flanked by low-lying shrubs and the occasional wildflower peeking through, the sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows that draped this little haven in a veil of mystery and warmth.

The main reason he liked this small garden was that it was free from the intrusion of surveillance cameras; he had discovered this spot while taking photos with Sakura Airi last time.

To be honest, Long Aotian quite liked this place. It was incredibly healing, and it made for a perfect picnic spot.

As Long Aotian pondered, a girl with short blonde hair slowly stepped into view.

Her gait was light yet tinged with nervousness, each step seemingly stirring ripples in her heart. Her short blonde hair swayed gently in the breeze, shimmering with a dazzling yet soft radiance that felt like a direct reflection of her inner emotions.

The hem of her skirt fluttered with her movements like a budding flower swaying in the wind, and as she drew closer, her face gradually came into focus.

[Kushida Kikyo]

"Long-kun, I'm here."

She spoke in a soft, gentle voice, filled with delight and intimacy, as if reuniting with a long-lost friend. Two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, adding a touch of liveliness and cuteness to the heartwarming scene.

That's right, Kushida Kikyo had been summoned by Long Aotian; this time, he intended to make his move.

The girl's smile, paired with that exquisite face, was a lethal blow—the absolute essence of a first love on campus. It was a pity she wouldn't be able to keep smiling for long.

"Kushida-san, I called you here because there's something I need."

Long Aotian looked at her face and said with a smile.

"Long-kun, I'm sorry, but I don't want to have a boyfriend while I'm still in school."

Kushida Kikyo glanced around, pressed her hands together, and put on an expression of apology and regret.

"?"

The scene fell into an exceptionally awkward silence.

Long Aotian looked at the surroundings and then back at Kushida. Well, it was normal to be misunderstood; after all, this place was indeed perfect for a confession. Plus, judging by Kushida Kikyo's practiced movements, it was clear she had been confessed to many times on campus.

However, after he had been flirting and laughing with Sakura Airi in class so openly, she still couldn't tell? That left only one conclusion: did she think he was a scumbag?

Long Aotian was a very devoted person; he would never start a harem. He would rather jump off the building over there than start a harem.

"I'm sorry, Kushida-san, I think you've misunderstood. I didn't come here to confess."

"Ah!"

Kushida Kikyo's expression shifted instantly. She was slightly stunned at first, a flash of shock and confusion crossing the eyes that had just been busy rejecting him.

"Long-kun, then why did you call me here?"

"I want you to get rid of someone."

"But..."

Seeing Kushida Kikyo preparing to refuse, Long Aotian pulled out his phone and said, "I don't think you have a reason to refuse, nor do you have the ability to."

The phone was playing the video of the incident where Kushida Kikyo had kicked the fence at the school gate.

Watching the video on the phone, Kushida's expression shifted from her initial cute smile to a dark, gloomy scowl. This was the second person to know about this, but unlike Ayanokoji, this time there was concrete video evidence. If this were to get out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What do you want me to do?" Kushida Kikyo said with a dark face, slowly stepping closer to Long Aotian.

"Don't even think about using Ayanokoji's tactics on me; it won't work." Long Aotian put his phone back in his pocket, took a few steps back, and flashed a villainous, cackling grin. "By the way, let me remind you: I've already set this video to be sent to the school group chat in five days. If you don't behave, I have no idea what might happen then."

"Kushida-san, I don't think you want everyone to know about this, do you?"

Hearing this, Kushida Kikyo stopped in her tracks.

Her face was terrifyingly dark, as if a storm were about to break at any moment. Her gaze grew fierce, her hands clenched into fists, and her teeth ground together with a faint "clack," as if her inner rage and tension were leaking out through that subtle sound.

Long Aotian watched her, shaking his head inwardly. Look at how much of an angel she was before, and how terrifying she was now—like a fallen angel.

Long Aotian walked with his hands behind his back, his steps light and steady, as he approached Kushida Kikyo. He leaned in, bringing his lips close to the girl's delicate ear. "That's a good girl. You'd better be obedient from now on."

But in Kushida Kikyo's eyes, it was different. Long Aotian's handsome face had become repulsive in this moment. His heavy footsteps felt like a weight, and with every step he took, her hatred grew deeper.

"This is the expression I wanted to see—the look of someone who wants to kill me but can't. Hahaha!" Long Aotian finished, turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked away.

I have to admit, Kushida Kikyo had a natural scent—quite pleasant—though it wasn't as sweet as my little cutie Sakura Airi.

"Damn it! Damn it! That bastard Long Aotian! Ahhh! Why don't you just die!"

As Long Aotian departed, Kushida Kikyo finally snapped. She stomped wildly on the flowers and grass, screaming in fury.

Kushida Kikyo was completely unaware that a figure was standing behind her, recording the scene with a phone.

He stood 180cm tall, his posture as upright as a pine tree on a mountain—both resilient and possessing an elusive, supple grace.

His features were as exquisite as a sculptor's finest work, his skin fair and delicate, as pure and flawless as fresh snow. His deep eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, shimmering with wisdom and gentleness, as if they could peer into the depths of the human heart.

His nose was straight, his lips pale and beautifully shaped, and the casual smile he wore was enough to drain the color from everything around him.

Alright, enough vanity. It was still Long Aotian. Didn't expect that, did you? I hadn't actually left; Long Aotian knew that Kushida Kikyo wouldn't be able to hold back once he was gone.

The reason for recording this video was simple: he just wanted to show it to his little cutie Sakura Airi so she could understand the malice of human nature. Even though he had acted quite like a villain just now, that wasn't in the video, so it didn't matter.

As Kushida Kikyo's outburst reached its end, she collapsed to the floor, as if every ounce of strength and hope had been drained from her. She slumped helplessly, her eyes hollow and profound, like a camera lens that had lost its focus, no longer able to capture any color or warmth in life, for she knew she was now firmly in Long Aotian's grasp.

After finishing the recording, Long Aotian immediately used Flying Thunder God to leave the area; it was safer that way, and staying too long risked being discovered.

Back in his dorm, Long Aotian opened his computer and logged into the school system to look up the profiles and accounts of the members of Class D.

[Points: Original 60.1 million → Current 50.1 million (50,000 points in fake accounts not included) (Will not display or calculate hereafter)]

ps: A reminder that there is a small detail here.

He glanced at the point template and shook his head in regret; these points would likely be gone later on.

He found the accounts for Ike and Yamauchi of Class D and sent them a text message. This time, Long Aotian intended to start with these two talents. Besides, the swimming camera incident in the anime was truly disgusting—is that something a human being would actually do? Or perhaps the author who conceived such a plot is a pervert themselves.

[School Activity Notification SMS]

Dear Student Ike:

We are very pleased to inform you that you have been luckily selected to participate in a hidden activity specially planned by the school. This is not only an excellent opportunity to showcase and challenge yourself, but also an unforgettable experience to gain growth and joy. You will participate in a series of carefully designed hidden action activities. To complete the tasks, you must send the pictures back for review. Show off your style through actual actions!

Failure Mechanism: In every task released by the school, if you are discovered by others, it will be judged as a failure, and you will lose points as well as points previously earned.

Reward Mechanism: To encourage active participation and the successful completion of tasks, we have set up a point reward system. For each activity task completed, you will receive corresponding points.

Perverted enough, right? To a third party, this would seem very fake, but things are different here. First, there is the school's mechanism, and second, both of them are already going crazy under the zero-income situation of Class D.

For example, if you were dirt poor, eating nothing but rice and greens, and suddenly a system dropped down one day saying, "Congratulations, you've been selected; you can earn money by completing tasks," would you believe it?

Long Aotian only sent this to those two. He would start by issuing some simple tasks and giving them a few points, letting them gradually become dependent or willing to use any means necessary to complete the missions.

Long Aotian looked at the computer screen and shook his head. Forget about those two; if he hadn't had a system when he entered the school, he would have thought it was real too.

He issued a few simple tasks, closed the computer, and decided to wait until later to come back and review the photos.

After finishing everything, he left, preparing to head to Sakura's dorm to warn her to stay away from Kushida Kikyo. After all, since Kushida Kikyo couldn't do anything to him, she might turn around and cause trouble for Sakura. At most, it would just be a minor disturbance. Isolation? The worst that could happen is the exposure of her influencer persona under the name "Shizuku."

Isn't that actually a plus? Besides, with him holding the video, she certainly wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Ding-dong~

"You're here."

As the doorbell rang, a young girl opened the door and revealed a happy smile.

"Yeah, I'm here."

Long Aotian walked into the room with practiced ease, reached out to stroke Sakura's face, and also wore a happy smile.

In this moment, nothing else mattered; there was only the world of the two of them.

ps: First, I would like to thank Mengli He Hongchen, Xiaoyu Dash, and Jiu for their gifts of love.

Second: I've changed my writing style; I don't know if you're used to it yet.

Third: I'm only updating this one chapter today. I still have some Honor of Kings orders to grind, and I'll make it up to you later.
