Caught on a Date by Her Brother?

Didn't Nanju Yang Cheng like Suzune Horikita?

Then how would Suzune Horikita, that conceited girl who thought she was all that just because she was a little cute, feel when she saw how intimate the boy who liked her was with Kushida?

Unfortunately, Kikyo Kushida's plan was good, but Yang Cheng never took the bait.

As a result, after giving Yang Cheng a free eyeful, she could only leave while cursing under her breath.

Watching Kikyo Kushida walk away, Yang Cheng let out a heavy sigh.

"What a waste. Why couldn't this be a hentai anime world? A busty, baby-faced beauty was practically throwing herself at me, and I fucking turned her down!"

After parting ways with Kikyo Kushida, Yang Cheng checked the time on his phone, then turned and left as well.

He had another date to get to. Such was the busy life of a popular guy.

On his way to the school grounds to meet another beautiful girl, Suzune Horikita, Yang Cheng recalled what Kikyo Kushida had said earlier, and a puzzled look crossed his face.

Had Kikyo Kushida gotten the wrong idea about my relationship with Suzune Horikita?

Why else would she have made those homewrecker remarks with that fake-innocent act?

Honestly, Yang Cheng thought the misunderstanding made no sense. It was true that the cold, aloof Suzune Horikita didn't interact much with anyone else in Class D.

But besides me, wasn't there Ayanokoji?

Ayanokoji had met Suzune Horikita before I did, and they usually spent more time together. Why was I the one getting misunderstood?

Still mulling it over as he reached the school grounds, Yang Cheng soon spotted Suzune Horikita waiting at their agreed meeting place.

Since she was exercising that evening, Suzune Horikita wasn't wearing her school uniform. Instead, she wore a white short-sleeved athletic shirt and red athletic shorts, leaving her long, ivory-white legs bare.

If Kikyo Kushida's weapon of mass destruction was her generous bust, then Suzune Horikita definitely had legs a guy could admire all year.

Having just finished exercising, she was quite sweaty, and a white towel hung around her neck.

Seemingly noticing Yang Cheng's gaze on her thighs, Suzune Horikita showed a rare hint of bashfulness.

It also made her even more certain that Yang Cheng had feelings for her.

Yang Cheng: (−＿−;) Come on, a beautiful girl with long legs was standing right in front of me in the moonlight.

I'm a healthy man, not some desireless saint. Isn't it fucking normal to take a few extra looks?

"Where's Ayanokoji? Is he not here yet? That's strange. Isn't he usually pretty punctual?"

Yang Cheng looked around and, finding no one besides Suzune Horikita, couldn't help asking in confusion.

"I didn't invite Ayanokoji. I only asked you to come this time, because there's something very important I need to explain to you..."

Thanks to her outstanding looks and bearing, Suzune Horikita had attracted quite a few secret admirers from middle school onward.

But her cold, unapproachable attitude meant that no one even dared strike up a conversation with her.

Rejecting someone's feelings was therefore unfamiliar territory for Suzune Horikita, and her nerves even made her stumble over her words.

"Something important?"

When Suzune Horikita invited him, Yang Cheng had assumed she had asked both of them over to discuss Class D again, just like before.

But seeing how flustered and nervous Suzune Horikita was, that didn't seem to be the case.

"Well, it's about your love..."

"Suzune, I wondered what you intended to do by following me to this school. I never imagined it would turn out to be something this pointless."

Suzune Horikita had gathered her thoughts and was just about to speak to Yang Cheng when a male voice suddenly came from the side, cutting her off.

Upon seeing the short-haired boy with glasses and an imposing presence, the usually overbearing Suzune Horikita actually lowered her head timidly.

But Suzune Horikita soon realized her brother might have misunderstood, and hurriedly raised her head to explain. "That's not it.

"I came to this school because I wanted to catch up to you.

"I'll prove I'm no longer the useless person I used to be, and I'll work hard to rise to Class A as soon as possible."

Indeed, the bespectacled boy who had suddenly appeared was none other than Manabu Horikita, the brother Suzune Horikita had always chased after, hoping to earn his recognition.

"Catch up to me? You don't even understand your own shortcomings. Choosing this school was a mistake.

"Having a little sister dumped into Class D is an embarrassment to me.

"So, Suzune, get out of this school right now!"

As he spoke, Manabu Horikita grabbed Suzune Horikita's arm and pinned her against the wall. He even intended to use violence to force his disappointing sister to withdraw from the school.

But just as Manabu Horikita was about to put his fourth-dan aikido to use against his sister and make her obediently leave the school-

The hand he was about to drive into Suzune Horikita's stomach was caught firmly by another hand reaching in from the side.

"That's enough of the strict big brother act, isn't it? If you actually hurt her, you'll be the one suffering in the end.

"Besides, she's your sister. You should know what Suzune Horikita is like, shouldn't you?

"Do you really think acting like a harsh older brother here, or even beating her up, will make her give up and leave this school?"

Looking at the scene before him, Yang Cheng let out a deep sigh.

Wasn't this supposed to be Ayanokoji's chance to show off? Why had I stumbled into it this time...?

Yang Cheng hadn't wanted to get involved in the Horikita siblings' private affairs. After all, he and Suzune Horikita were really only ordinary classmates.

But Manabu Horikita had genuinely been about to hit her, without the slightest intention of going easy on her.

They knew each other, at least. Yang Cheng couldn't just stand by and watch Suzune Horikita get beaten up, could he?

With his wrist caught, Manabu Horikita tried to break free of Yang Cheng's grip. But he soon discovered, to his astonishment, that Yang Cheng was far stronger than he had imagined.

He was already using more than eighty percent of his strength, yet the other boy's arm remained as unyielding as an iron clamp.

Unable to break free of Yang Cheng's grip, Manabu Horikita twisted his body and launched a kick straight at Yang Cheng's face.

Besides being a fourth-dan aikido practitioner, he also held a fifth dan in karate.

Yet just as that powerful kick was about to hit Yang Cheng, he blocked it with his other arm.

With one hand gripping Manabu Horikita's arm and the other blocking his kick, Yang Cheng surged forward the next instant, driving a Bajiquan Iron Mountain Lean straight into Manabu Horikita's chest!
