Unfortunately, it's hard to say whether it's because Suyo's completely unresponsive to Bai Lili because she's utterly hopeless...
Liuli originally thought that with her skill level, she could easily turn the tide and secure victory with just a few moves.
Unexpectedly, things didn't go according to her plan. Instead, the relationship between Suyo and Bai Lili deteriorated further due to her bizarre actions...
Just last week, Suyo publicly spilled Bai Lili's pastries and said those hurtful things—all of this was orchestrated by Liuli...
Her supposedly foolproof "secret formula for winning at love" backfired spectacularly on these two unlikely lovers!
After that day, Liuli questioned the meaning of life.
She even wondered if Suyo, that bastard, trash, scumbag, and vermin, had a problem with his sexual orientation.
In terms of appearance, family background, and personality, what aspect of Bai Lili is unworthy of you?
She's practically the perfect candidate for a legal wife!
With her god-like assistance from cramming on several romance novels, even if Suyo were a monk, he should have been won over by now!
Liuli even had the wicked idea of using the Mind Echo to manipulate Suyo and force him to fall in love with Bai Lili.
Unfortunately, Suyo's mastery of Echo was no less than hers. Not only could she not use Echo on him, but it would also easily expose her identity, so she had to give up.
"Suyo and Qiji... who would you rather win?"
Faced with this question from her best friend Liuli, Bai Lili opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Liuli adjusted her glasses.
Beneath the unlensed frames, a knowing glint flashed in his misty purple eyes.
Bai Lili hesitated...
Hesitation, however, is precisely the best answer.
Knowing the answer, Liuli became even more certain.
Sure enough, her winning formula for love worked perfectly.
The problem still lies with the "executor".
Because Bai Lili, in reality, doesn't like to Suyo at all!
All her efforts, her attempts to please, and her carefulness were simply fulfilling her duties as a "fiancée" and meeting the expectations of her family and parents.
It was not voluntary.
No!
Absolutely not!
For Bai Lili's sake, and for the sake of the Bai Family, Liuli couldn't bear to see Bai Lili go further and further down the wrong path.
You should know, Qiji- kun is... a very complicated person.
But Bai Lili is too naive; she can't handle her!
Qiji is not the kind of person Bai Lili should like!
As these thoughts raced through Liuli's mind, her gaze unconsciously searching for the masked figure in the crowd, Qiji happened to be looking at her from within the crowd as well.
Seeing Liuli and Bai Lili sticking together, Qiji, who had been skipping school for a month, was a little puzzled for a moment.
When did those two girls become such good friends?
Thinking this, Qiji quickly walked towards where Liu Liuli and Bai Lili were standing.
Bai Lili became even more nervous upon seeing Qiji.
He thought that Qiji was here to demand an explanation because he had caused Suyo.
After all, Qiji is someone who hates trouble!
At this time, he should be lying on the rooftop, basking in the sun and taking a nap, but instead, because of himself...
Thinking about it this way, Bai Lili felt even more guilty!
I suddenly felt a little scared...
The girl subtly shrank back slightly, hiding behind Liuli.
Only half of its head peeked out, timidly looking at Qiji who was walking towards it.
Of course, Qiji had no idea what Bai Lili was thinking.
He came here for only one thing.
That is—
Qiji stopped in front of Liuli and reached out his hand without saying a word.
He opened his palm upwards, facing the girl.
It was exactly the same gesture Liuli made that day, stretching out her hands to him and asking for the [Sword of No Thought].
Liuli paused for a moment, then instantly understood what Qiji meant, and rolled her eyes in annoyance:
"Not today."
"Huh? Didn't you say you could give it to me anytime I wanted?"
Liuli clearly made that promise back then.
In his entire life, Qiji hates three types of people the most!
First, those who owe him money.
Secondly, people who don't keep their word.
Thirdly, people who cannot count.
Fourthly, those who refuse to lend him money.
"???"
Some new viewers who had just finished watching the anime and flooded into the live stream, misunderstanding arose because they hadn't seen the live stream that day:
"Wait a minute! This conversation... it's packed with information!"
"Ahhh, is my favorite couple already together?"
"Is there anyone who can help me catch up on the parts of the story I missed because I didn't watch the live stream?"
"Wow!!! Why is this sounding like an old married couple talking?!"
Chapter Sixty: I'll beat Suyo until he cries uncontrollably!
Just as the new audience was beginning to imagine a grand, secret romance and preparing to obsessively ship the two characters—
The veteran audience members jumped out, ruthlessly shattering their illusions:
"Brothers, you're overthinking it. This is just your Brother Ji's usual routine. You'll get used to it."
"Hilarious Prisoner Ji! All Lao Ji ever thinks about is getting Liuli's Sword of No Thought!"
Liuli: Damn! No! It's not convenient today!!!
Long-time viewers certainly know Qiji.
He came to find Liuli, and it really was to ask for the [Sword of No Thought].
Although he hadn't reached the point where he absolutely needed to use his sword against the Suyo, Qiji still felt a strange sense of longing for the Sword of No Thought, which had been separated from him for a month.
Surely, Sword of No Thought is thinking of him too?
"Why not today?" Qiji asked persistently.
"There are too many people." Liuli said succinctly, gesturing with her eyes to the throng of people around her.
This place was filled with students and teachers from almost the entire grade, all under the watchful eyes of the public.
What if someone recognizes this sword?
Upon hearing this, Qiji thought the Kamishiro Family was up to their old tricks again.
His gaze became unusually serious.
"They... came to see you again? Why didn't you tell me?"
Even if I wanted to talk to you, I'd need to be able to find you, right?
You rascal, you've been gone for a whole month and I have no idea where you've been!
Liuli thought to herself, but her face still wore a formulaic smile:
Are you worried about me?
"It's only natural to worry about your classmates."
Liuli paused for a moment, hesitated, and finally spoke softly, her lips barely audible to Qiji:
"They haven't contacted me for a month."
Perhaps they thought I was already dead.
After all, the blood arrow that day was incredibly powerful, far beyond what she could withstand.
The Kamishiro Family would naturally assume that she had perished under the arrow of blood.
Upon hearing this, Qiji nodded, relieved, but also abandoning his idea of getting something for free.
Since the Kamishiro Family mistakenly believed that Liuli was dead because of that accident, they finally managed to stay quiet for a month.
There was really no need for him to flaunt the [Sword of No Thought] at such a time.
Although Qiji had no intention of using the sword in public when he first asked Liuli for it.
He just wanted an excuse to touch the Sword of No Thought and feel the familiar sensation of its return.
Then, when you're alone, secretly test the mask's ability to change attributes.
See if it can be combined with swordsmanship to develop new moves.
That's all.
Seeing that Qiji and Liuli seemed to have finished their conversation, he turned to leave.
Bai Lili, who had been hiding behind Liuli and struggling internally for a long time, finally mustered up her courage and timidly called out to Qiji.
"Saki- Qiji- kun... wait a minute!"
She felt that she was the one who caused today's trouble, so she shouldn't run away from it.
At least...
At least we should compensate Qiji- chan in some way!
Even if it's just a small token of affection.
Otherwise, she would feel really guilty!
So, Bai Lili took out another bulging money bag from the inside pocket of her uniform.
Upon hearing the sound, Qiji turned around, activated his auto-aiming eyes, and almost immediately locked onto the "sincerity" in Bai Lili's hand.
Qiji's eyes lit up!
In an instant, he understood Bai Lili's intention!
Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and took it in one swift motion!
Beneath the mask, a genuine smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Boss Bai, don't worry, I understand what you mean!"
I've heard about it—
That Suyo dared to bully you!
Just wait and see!
