Zongman: My Smart Group

Lin Mo: "Hasn't sent a message in two years? Did they just block me?"

Hachiman Hikigaya blushed and said, "Shut up! What's it to you! Besides, all I need to do is stay at home and take care of Komachi. Friends aren't important at all!"

Komachi Hikigaya said with a look of disgust, "How disgusting."

Hachiman Hikigaya felt as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows, and froze on the spot.

Lin Mo immediately started mocking: "Hahaha... Hachiman, how does it feel to hear your own sister's吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism)? Komachi, do you know what Hachiman said in the club before?"

Komachi Hikigaya asked curiously, "What?"

Hachiman Hikigaya immediately snapped out of his daze and said, "Shut up!"

Lin Mo, not wanting him to do as he wished, simply repeated what Hachiman Hikigaya had said, and then she received an even more disdainful look from her own sister.

Hachiman Hikigaya, in a fit of despair, declared, "I just want to take care of Komachi for the rest of my life, what's wrong with that!"

Komachi Hikigaya sighed and said, "So that's why my brother can't make any friends and continues to be so withdrawn. I'm still very worried about him. Brother Lin Mo, I'm entrusting my brother to your care from now on!"

Lin Mo said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely make him repent and start anew!"

Hachiman Hikigaya snorted and continued eating.

After dinner, the three of them played for a while longer. During this time, no matter how Lin Mo asked, he did not get any information about Hachiman Hikigaya's dark history.

Looks like I'll have to wait until tonight to use the strong one.

Time passed slowly, and Komachi Hikigaya looked at the alarm clock and said, "It's getting late, we should go to sleep. There should be extra bedding in my brother's room, so I won't go and help tidy up. I'm sure my brother will be fine."

Lin Mo: "What time is it? You're already asleep?"

Komachi Hikigaya: "It's almost midnight, I have to go to bed early. I don't want to have wrinkles all over my face later. You guys play by yourselves, I'm going to wash up! After you shower, you can wear your brother's clothes. The disposable towel is in the living room drawer. Just throw the clothes you take off in the bathroom, and I'll wash them for you later."

Hachiman Hikigaya quickly pulled Komachi Hikigaya aside and said earnestly, "Let Lin Mo wash first, after all, he's a guest, isn't he?"

Hikigaya Komachi: "That's right, Brother Lin Mo, then you can take a bath first!"

Lin Mo looked at Hachiman Hikigaya suspiciously: "Hachiman? You would be so kind?"

Hachiman Hikigaya said sincerely, "What are you talking about? We're best friends! Besides, you're a guest, so of course you should be the first to take a bath!"

Of course, there's also the most important point: if his younger sister were to take a bath first, Hachiman Hikigaya would be afraid that Lin Mo would steal the water. Although the chances of that happening are slim, they're not zero anymore, right? So, just to be on the safe side, he'd let Lin Mo bathe first, and then he'd bathe second, and then change the water in the tub.

Lin Mo felt that with Komachi Hikigaya here, Hachiman Hikigaya probably wouldn't do anything outrageous, so he went to take a bath without worry.

After taking off his clothes, Lin Mo lay down directly inside. The temperature instantly stimulated his skin, his pores opened, and after a shiver, a feeling of comfort instantly washed over him.

System: Hiss! Take photos! Take photos and videos now!

Lin Mo closed his eyes, lost in thought. Hachiman Hikigaya and Komachi Hikigaya were, after all, siblings. It was normal for him to cover for Hachiman; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten such a scandalous story in just one afternoon. Therefore, he had to find a way to sow discord between them, but what could he do?

Got it!

Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the water in the bathtub, and said, "You can frame someone yourself!"

Hachiman Hikigaya practically had his dislike for her written all over his face. She could easily use that to frame Hachiman Hikigaya for deliberately targeting her and making Komachi misunderstand!

This would lower Hachiman Hikigaya's image in his sister's eyes, and he might even get more information about Hachiman Hikigaya's embarrassing past while she was sulking! After all, Komachi is very sensible, and she would definitely get angry if she saw her brother being unreasonable! Moreover, he was currently a guest, and out of politeness, Komachi would also get angry.

As for what kind of accusations they used to frame him?

There's something right here! I can fill a basin with hot water and bring it inside, pretending that I'll use it to wash my face the next day. While Hachiman Hikigaya is asleep, I can sneak up and replace the hot water with cold water. That way, I can falsely accuse Hachiman Hikigaya of being dissatisfied with me and secretly getting up in the middle of the night to replace the hot water with cold water!

Lin Mo clapped his hands and said, "I'm really incredibly clever! I even thought of this method!"

I did it on a whim, but it would be better to wait until everyone went back to their rooms to sleep before filling a basin with hot water, so as not to arouse Komachi's suspicion.

Chapter 119 I'm sleepwalking, don't disturb me

After quickly taking a shower and changing his clothes, Lin Mo came out with a smile on his face.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Lin Mo with suspicion. He was now extremely suspicious, and any slight movement would arouse his suspicion. After all, Lin Mo could not be judged by common sense, so he could only be on guard at all times.

Upon arriving at the bathroom, Hachiman Hikigaya first carefully inspected the equipment and found nothing wrong. Then he reached out to test the water temperature, which was neither too hot nor too cold.

Did he pee in there?

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, then he dismissed it. After all, even though Lin Mo was a foolish and abstract person, he shouldn't be so shameless, right?

In the end, Hachiman Hikigaya obediently took a bath. After all, he only had suspicions at the moment, and he couldn't act rashly without concrete evidence.

Even after he finished his bath and returned to the bedroom, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't notice anything unusual. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lin Mo, what trick are you up to?"

From beginning to end, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't believe that Lin Mo had simply come to find him. Just think about their previous encounters; every time they met, Lin Mo would torment him. Now, he had come directly to his house. Anyone with half a brain would know that Lin Mo was definitely up to no good.

Lin Mo said with a grin, "You've misunderstood me. I really just wanted to see you."

Hachiman Hikigaya stared at him for a few seconds, but found nothing unusual on her face. Finally, he said coldly, "It had better be that way."

After a pause, Hachiman Hikigaya decided to play the emotional card: "Lin Mo."

Lin Mo: "What's wrong?"

Hachiman Hikigaya said sincerely, "You said it before, didn't you? We're best friends!"

Lin Mo immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "That's right! You're my only best friend!"

Hachiman Hikigaya said guiltily, "Although you have always treated me as a close friend, I have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a close friend. Lin Mo, I really regret it. I shouldn't have chosen Yukinoshita as the club president. She is just as you said, a complete tyrant. She runs rampant in the club and leaves us no way out!"

Lin Mo frowned: "There's such a thing!"

Hachiman Hikigaya cried out, "Of course it's true! You have no idea how much I suffered in there. After you left, Yukinoshita treated me like a human being. She wouldn't even let me go home, and she threatened me with points deductions all the time. After all, I'm just a nobody, and I couldn't fight back. Lin Mo, I was really wrong. If I had another chance, I would definitely choose you as the president! You are the one truly deserved by everyone!"

Lin Mo was deeply moved. Although Hachiman Hikigaya had indeed betrayed him before, his words at this moment were absolutely sincere. His extraordinary wisdom had seen through everything!

Lin Mo: "Hachiman, I'm sorry you've suffered these past few days."

Hachiman Hikigaya: "It's not hard at all! Lin Mo, I've been looking forward to your next uprising. I will definitely join your camp then, overthrow the tyranny of Yukinoshita, and let the world belong to Emperor Mo!"

Lin Mo patted his shoulder and laughed, "Hahaha... Not bad, overthrow the tyranny of Yukinoshita, the world belongs to Emperor Mo! Don't worry, when I become the president, I will definitely appoint you as the head of the eunuchs again. I will definitely save this position for you!"

Deeply moved, Hachiman Hikigaya exclaimed, "Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo: "Hachiman!"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo: "Hachiman!"

In the end, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't resist the passion any longer. After a long eye contact, he took the initiative to say, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Lin Mo: "Okay, goodnight!"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Good night."

After lying in bed, Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief. With this emotional appeal and his constant vigilance, he figured there wouldn't be any more accidents this time.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, still thinking about what Hachiman Hikigaya had just said. Although Hachiman Hikigaya had betrayed him, and not just once, it was clear from his words that he still cared about him and had clearly stated that he would support him in the next uprising!

Then why would he frame Hachiman Hikigaya?

He hesitated for a second when faced with the question, then suddenly slapped himself hard across the face.

I'm so damn stupid for hesitating on such a question. Of course, I should continue framing him! After all, I can't forget my original intention. If a person's original intention is not firm, how can he shoulder great responsibilities in the future?

Besides, he's made his living by forgetting his roots and betraying others; Hachiman is no match for him! They are indeed close friends, but brothers are meant to be betrayed! What's that saying again?

For a brother to risk his life for him, I imagine Hachiman Hikigaya felt the same way and was more than willing to let me stab him in the back. Hachiman, I never imagined you would be willing to do so much for me. I am so touched!

And so, the two people with different thoughts gradually fell asleep without saying anything more.

Around 2 a.m., Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes. To avoid sleeping until dawn, he specifically reminded the system to wake him up at the appointed time.

He got up and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya for a few seconds. After confirming that he was indeed asleep, he tiptoed off the bed and crawled forward on the floor.

Every movement was made with utmost care. After confirming that Hachiman Hikigaya was asleep, Lin Mo gently pushed open the door, then went into the bathroom, turned on the water heater, covered the showerhead with his hand to keep the noise down to a minimum, and looked around nervously, occasionally turning his head sharply, afraid that someone might suddenly wake up and discover his plan.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened. After filling the basin halfway with water, Lin Mo turned off the shower and carried the basin back the way he came.

"Brother Lin Mo?"

Lin Mo froze on the spot. He hadn't expected that even though he was careful enough, he would still be discovered by Komachi Hikigaya.

Komachi Hikigaya walked over curiously and asked, "Brother Lin Mo? Why are you suddenly getting water in the middle of the night?"

Lin Mo's mind raced as he tried to find a way out of his predicament, but to no avail.

Seeing Lin Mo standing frozen in place, not saying a word, Komachi Hikigaya couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Lin Mo? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you sleepwalking?"

Yes! You can pretend to be sleepwalking!

Lin Mo quickly squinted and said, "I'm sleepwalking, don't disturb me. My sleepwalking, don't disturb me. I'm sleepwalking, don't..."

And so, Lin Mo muttered to himself as he walked back to the bedroom, leaving a completely bewildered Komachi Hikigaya behind.

Watching Lin Mo carefully place the basin of water down and then gently close the door, Komachi Hachiman asked in confusion, "Was he really sleepwalking?"

After safely returning to the bedroom, Lin Mo wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Thankfully, it was a close call, and he successfully made it back to the bedroom. He was so grateful for his cleverness; he had come up with such a perfect excuse! That's me for you!

Looking at the basin of water on the floor and Hachiman Hikigaya still sleeping on the bed, Lin Mo said with a mischievous grin, "Hachiman, don't blame me. After all, you've betrayed me so many times. I wouldn't feel at ease if I didn't have some of your dark history on me! I believe you'll understand!"

After preparing all this, Lin Mo set two alarms again and went to bed.

Chapter 120 Why did you change my hot water to cold water!

Time passed slowly, and around 3 or 4 o'clock, Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes. He repeated the same steps as before, and after confirming that Hachiman Hikigaya was indeed asleep, he tiptoed out of bed, replaced the hot water he had filled with with cold water, and then lay down on the bed to sleep, satisfied.

Nothing happened that night, and before they knew it, it was the next morning. Komachi Hachiman called out energetically from outside the door, "Brother, Brother Lin Mo, hurry up and get up for breakfast, or the sun will be shining on your butt!"

Hachiman Hikigaya slowly opened his eyes, let out a long yawn, and said, "I understand."

Then he nudged Lin Mo next to him, waking him up as well.

Lin Mo opened his eyes in confusion and murmured softly, "An unfamiliar ceiling."

It took him a full ten seconds to realize that he had stayed overnight at Hachiman Hikigaya's house yesterday, and that he had made some kind of plan recently.

That's right! A water basin!

Lin Mo quickly sat up, saw that the basin was still in the same place, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Hachiman Hikigaya next to him with a mischievous smile.

Hachiman Hikigaya's alarm bells went off instantly. He shifted his body slightly in fear and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Mo didn't speak, pulled the blanket over herself, and suddenly opened her mouth to scream: "Ah—!!!"

The screams instantly filled the entire room, and even passersby on the street couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the sound.

Hachiman Hikigaya's expression changed drastically in an instant. Although he didn't know what Hachiman was going to do, stopping him was definitely the right thing to do!

"Shut up!"

After saying that, Hachiman Hikigaya pounced over and reached out to cover Lin Mo's mouth.

Before she had gone far from the door, Komachi Hikigaya heard a scream and immediately ran over, pushing open the door and asking worriedly, "What happened...?"

As the opening scene unfolded, Hachiman Hikigaya collapsed onto Lin Mo, covering his mouth with his hands. Lin Mo, wrapped in a blanket, looked utterly devastated, as if Hachiman Hikigaya had done something horrible to him.

Komachi Hikigaya's brain was instantly overloaded. In that instant, she thought of many things, and the BL novels and comics that her friends had mentioned flashed through her mind. How similar they were to the scene in front of her!

Komachi Hikigaya said apologetically, "Sorry to bother you, I didn't see anything!"

After saying that, he left and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Hachiman Hikigaya's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Things aren't as you think at all! Come back right now!"

Of course, Komachi Hikigaya knew that things couldn't be as she thought. After all, she knew her older brother very well. Although he didn't usually talk to anyone and always stayed at home alone, he couldn't possibly be gay... right?

Hikigaya Komachi suddenly froze on the spot. Her older brother wasn't bad-looking, except for his eyes; with a little dressing up, he would definitely be a heartthrob. But no matter what, he was unwilling to dress up and even seemed somewhat averse to others.

He thought his older brother rejected everyone equally, but unexpectedly a close friend suddenly appeared. Although he seemed to dislike Lin Mo, he actually considered him a friend deep down.

While I'm happy that my brother has found a friend, I'm also afraid that he's not a male friend, but a boyfriend! After all, my brother is already a perverted siscon, and if he's gay on top of that, his life is truly over!

Although Komachi Hikigaya didn't want to believe it, everything she had just witnessed spoke volumes about the truth.

She had already imagined the whole process: her brother drugged Lin Mo in the dead of night and took the opportunity to stab him from behind. Lin Mo woke up in the morning and discovered it, which is why he screamed. To avoid being discovered, he rushed over and covered his mouth!

Yes! That makes perfect sense!

The above imaginary scenario was completed in just one second. After hearing her brother call her, Komachi Hikigaya pushed open the door again and said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother, what are you doing?"
