Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

"Sawamura-kun..."

After calling out twice without any results, Bai Ye realized that the postures between him and Sawamura Eriri were a little subtle.

The blonde girl buried her head deep in Bai Ye's shoulder, her eyes tightly closed, as if she had given up or as if out of sight, out of mind. A pair of slender hands were placed on Bai Ye's waist at some point, and her whole body was pressed tightly against him, leaving almost no gap.

From Bai Ye's perspective, Sawamura Eriri was like a little girl who was in a bad mood. The way she melted into his arms made her more like a pet seeking protection from its owner. Her golden twintails, no longer shaking, seemed to reveal a sense of relief.

"Sawamura-kun now looks like a golden retriever puppy..."

"Sawamura-san?"

Putting the rude thought behind his mind for the time being, facing Sawamura Eriri who was immersed in her own world and didn't listen to his call, another rude thought sprouted in Bai Ye's heart, and like a magic vine, it went straight to the sky and instantly filled his mind.

Bai Ye is not a gentleman, he prefers to call himself a gentleman who dares to face his inner desires.

He was about to collect some payment, and he was torn between his conscience and his conscience, so much so that this little girl was actually confused.

With his right hand still gently holding the girl's head, he lowered his head to the side, sniffed the girl's sweaty neck, and put his left hand around the girl's waist and took a golden ponytail and played with it gently.

The lingering fragrance of last night's bath mixed with the girl's body fragrance that drifted with the sweat filled Bai Ye's nostrils, as faint as orchid, delicate and beautiful; the golden hair that slipped through the fingertips was soft and smooth, like a piece of fine gold-foil silk.

Bai Ye admits that he is obsessed with hair and smell. He believes that girls who know how to care for and cherish their hair possess extraordinary charm. Body fragrance is a reflection of the beauty of the soul. Only kind and lovely girls can emit a pleasant scent from the inside out.

This unexpected surprise further strengthened his determination to embrace Eriri Sawamura in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Aki-san. Even if Sawamura-san has feelings for you now, I still want to keep her body and soul by my side."

Seeing that Eriri Sawamura was still wandering in her fantasy in a daze, Bai Ye couldn't help but think: If I don't wake her up, will I have to hold her like this until the bell rings?

Although he really wanted to do so, he temporarily suppressed the desire to hug Sawamura Eriri again.

A gentleman who cannot suppress his desires is a beast, and a gentleman who can suppress his desires is a beast in human clothing. Even if there is only one more piece of "clothing", there is a huge difference.

As the old saying goes: If your words are truthful, your actions are dignified, and your clothes are straight, then your subordinates will be respectful.

In modern times, it refers to etiquette, civility and respect.

"Sawamura-kun, if you don't wake up I'm going to play a prank on you."

“Ah…Ah!”

boom--!

The first sound was the sound of Sawamura Eriri going from confused to awake and then to surprised, and the second sound was the dull sound of her head hitting the wall when she pushed Bai Ye away.

"Hiss!" Bai Ye sucked in a breath of cold air and rubbed the back of his head in pain.

"I secretly collected the interest half a minute ago, and I didn't expect it to be returned so soon. This is retribution from the God of Gentlemen."

Looking at Sawamura Eriri's face that was as red as blood, Bai Ye said with a smile:

"Sawamura-kun, even though I hugged you for a while, you shouldn't be so harsh, right?"

"Ah—Senior, stop talking!"

Eriri Sawamura held her head in her arms, her hair disheveled in the wind.

She understood why Bai Ye hugged her. Because of this, she had no excuse to complain or vent, and could only sulk alone.

"This was my first hug, and it was gone before I could react. Shouldn't we have done it somewhere more atmospheric and romantic?!"

"But, Senpai's embrace is so comfortable... I feel safe..."

The warmth from Byakuya lingered, like a seed sprouting branches that gradually wrapped around Sawamura Eriri's heart. Even she herself hadn't noticed that her previous thought of "being more concerned about Aki Tomoya's embrace" had quietly dissipated.

"Sawamura-kun, if we don't discuss today's plans, class will start."

"Ahh...oh."

The two men returned to their original place. Where the wooden box had been originally placed, only a mark made by sawdust remained. The two empty cans that almost caused the disaster were leaning side by side against the wall.

As the spring breeze blew, the empty cans colliding with each other made subtle but pleasant crisp sounds, as if cheering for Bai Ye and Sawamura Eriri for escaping the disaster.

The sun seemed to be blessing them, and the light just passed over their heads, leaving a cool place.

Eriri Sawamura temporarily sealed the warmth in her heart, thinking of the purpose of coming to the rooftop today. Her golden twintails shook off the strange thoughts in her mind, and her smile added a touch of vitality.

"Don't overthink things like senior's embrace is warm, Eriri. Anyone whose embrace isn't warm should have been buried long ago."

"Senior is here to help you, Eriri. It's rude to show him a weird expression."

"It's really fun chatting with senior. I hope we don't end up like we did back then, when we were speechless with each other."

Bai Ye saw through her melancholy but didn't say anything, and continued with today's topic.

"I didn't expect the PE teacher to come up to the rooftop. I was almost scared to death, haha."

Sawamura Eriri propped up her cheek and nodded, her tone quite speechless:

"Hey...senior, isn't there a place in school where we can talk in private?"

"Actually, the rooftop is quite safe, but it was still quite a shock to have an accident on my first try."

"I was worried that my classmates would see me typing in the classroom. Do I have to type in the toilet next time?"

"Don't be so extreme, Sawamura-kun!"

A relaxed and happy atmosphere once again surrounded the two of them, and Sawamura Eriri took the initiative to bring up the topic of last weekend.

"So, have you thought about the reward, Senior?"

"Hmm..." Bai Ye pinched his chin and said, "I think I've thought about it, but as an apology for my rudeness just now, I'll just see the goods first and pay later."

"Let's see the goods first?"

"Yes, I'll bring up a topic for the club activity this afternoon. If Sawamura-san is satisfied with the final result, I'll propose a reward in the evening. If Sawamura-san disagrees with the proposed reward, it's okay to discuss it again."

Bai Ye was straightforward and added:

"Actually, it's also because I haven't prepared the compensation yet. I tend to make things clear when it's important. If Sawamura-san disagrees, I'll be very upset."

Bai Ye's words inspired Sawamura Eriri to find out the truth, and she was looking forward to tonight's chat more and more.

"No, I trust you, you are such a nice person..."

"Stop, don't give me the nice guy card!"

"Hahaha......"

Chapter 34: Mixed cooking classes are a reasonable plot

The lunch break was very short. After Bai Ye gave Sawamura Eriri some instructions on club activities, the two returned to the classroom.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Bai Ye noticed that the atmosphere was different from usual. Everyone's faces, tired from heavy schoolwork, were filled with anticipation and excitement, just like a long-dry field meeting the spring rain, as if foreshadowing that good things were going to happen.

However, not everyone is happy, and Gouda is an exception.

As soon as he saw Bai Ye, his 160-pound body rumbled towards him like a chariot, his expression brightened, as if he had found a savior.

"Where have you been, Xiao? I'm so worried!"

"what happened?"

Bai Ye dodged nimbly, avoiding the fate of being crushed into a meat patty, and at the same time stretched out his hand to intercept Gota-san's body as he approached again.

"Mr. Gouda, we're both gentlemen, but I'm not into homosexuality. If you have anything to say, please speak politely and don't touch me."

"Bah, I'm not into male homosexuality either!"

After complaining about his sexual orientation, which was almost slandered by Bai Ye, Gouda asked:

"You didn't even reply to my message. I thought you weren't coming back."

"How could I not come back? Although I really want to buy the new issue that goes on sale at 2 pm, I don't have the courage to skip classes yet."

In order to have a peaceful chat with Eriri Sawamura, Bai Ye deliberately set his phone to silent mode.

Now I think it was a wise decision, otherwise he might have been accompanied by the head teacher, a letter of apology and tears in the afternoon.

I took out my phone and saw that Gangtian had sent me 7-8 messages, all asking where I was.

It was impossible to tell everyone about the chat with Eriri Sawamura on the rooftop, so Bai Ye chose to avoid the topic.

"What's wrong, everyone? Don't you have classes this afternoon?"

"Did you forget what class you had this afternoon?"

"What class? Isn't it Chinese?"

"Cooking class!"

Gangtian's words were like enlightenment to Bai Ye, and he understood it all at once.

Toyonosaki Academy has cooking classes, but the number of classes varies for each grade. First graders have one class a week, second graders have one class every two weeks, and third graders have one class a month. This week happens to be the fourth week of school.

The reason why Gangtian was so eager to find himself was obvious.

Cooking class scores are counted towards the semester's deviation value, and it is the only subject where "cheating" is allowed.

How could Gouda, whose deviation value was frantically testing the edge of the passing line, let go of the easily obtained points, and how could he let go of Bai Ye, the cooking master?

Bai Ye made a hand-made fan and blew away the heat accumulated on the rooftop while preparing for class. At the same time, he looked around at his classmates who could hardly contain their enthusiasm and whose eyes were shining green.

"It's just a cooking class, why do you all look like you've been hungry for three days?"

"Student Xiao, you don't understand this."

Having caught the sweet potato of Bai Ye, Gouda said proudly:

"Toyonosaki Academy has a tradition. Since there are fewer cooking classes in the third year, we always take classes with the second-year students."

And this kind of operation? !

Bai Ye finally understood that the best place to release this youth that has nowhere to go is in cooking class. The boys all look forward to showing off their skills in front of the female students. Maybe they can add a touch of color to their boring academic career, completely break away from the ranks of single dogs, and enter the real world that they have never touched before.

However, Bai Ye already had a goal and was not interested in this cooking class.

He extended his hand in front of Gouda-san. He had been teaming up with Gouda-san since his second year of high school, so of course he knew the latter's appalling cooking skills.

"Tell me, what do you plan to exchange this time?"

Gouda covered his chest with his hands, looking extremely distressed.

"I've been covering for you in class, and you won't even do me a small favor?"

"No, that's my reward for introducing you to comics, and I haven't settled the bill with you for last week!"

Because Gouda-san failed to provide cover last week, Kato Megumi later subtly criticized him with her presence, and Bai Ye always remembered it.

"Oh, you cheapskate."

Gangtian didn't care. After knowing Bai Ye for two years, he knew that Bai Ye was not really a stingy person. This way of conversation had become their daily routine.

"I'll give you some information in exchange for this cooking class."

"explain."

Gangtian looked around for a moment, then leaned close to Bai Ye's ear, his eyes as if he had grasped a shocking secret.

"The class we have with us is Class G, Grade 12."

Bai Ye was also drunk.

"What kind of intelligence is this? We'll know soon."

"Hey, don't be impatient. Isn't the purpose of intelligence to take the initiative? Xiao Jun, you understand it very well, right?"

Bai Ye smiled.

Gangtian's family runs a construction company and real estate agency, and they value business intelligence the most.

Although his information was only 2 minutes ahead of time, Bai Ye had to admit that it was very valuable.

Speaking of Class G in the second year of high school, the first person Bai Ye would think of in the past would be Tomoya Aki.

And now, he was thinking of the girl with eyes like locust flowers - Kato Megumi.

Knowing 2 minutes in advance means having 2 minutes to think, so you won’t be caught off guard by the unexpected.

"I haven't had a chance to chat with Kato Megumi these past few days. Isn't this cooking class a good opportunity?"

Speaking of this, Bai Ye became a little impatient.

"Let's go, class is about to start."

……

The cooking classroom is in the experimental building outside the teaching building. When Bai Ye walked into the classroom, the students in Class G of Grade 12 had already arrived and the teacher was in place.
