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

"Actually, Xiao Jun, you don't have to cater to me."

"You're overthinking it. This side of me was created because of your existence, not to please you."

Bai Ye covered her with a blanket.

"I'll get a basin of hot water. Just lie down and don't move."

Kasumigaoka Utaha buried her head in the pillow, thinking carefully about Bai Ye's words.

"Xiao Jun means that my existence is unique to him?"

This sentence only earned Kasumigaoka Utaha a miserable smile.

Surprise and disappointment are intertwined, and pain and happiness are connected.

She found herself gradually sinking into the tenderness of the white night and unable to extricate herself, and her expression added a touch of miserable beauty.

"What qualifications do I have to enjoy this tenderness..."

Chapter 77 No one wants pain, so please cry with a smile

Bai Ye brought back a basin of hot water with a white towel hanging beside it. He brought it into the room and placed it on the floor beside the bed.

"I think this towel should be yours."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at it and continued to bury her head in the pillow.

"how do you know?"

"The towel smells like you."

"Hentai!"

Bai Ye was also drunk. He would be scolded for telling the truth. How could this world be any better?

"I didn't smell it closely. You can understand that it's because I make so many snacks and read so many comics that my nose is very sensitive. I can recognize items with female characteristics at a glance."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't even turn her head.

"More like Hentai."

white night"……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's reaction was more intense than 5 minutes ago. Bai Ye thought that she must have thought of something.

However, this does not change what he will do next.

Bai Ye lifted the quilt, wrung out the towel, and applied the warm towel to the painful spot on Kasumigaoka Utaha's lower back.

"Give you a warm compress first, and then apply the medicine."

Patting his hands on his clothes, Bai Ye took out a can of coffee from the bag. The crisp sound of opening the lid caught Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears.

"coffee?"

"There's no share for you. Giving you a piece of chocolate is the least I can do." Bai Ye leaned back in his chair, raised his glass and took a sip. With his other hand, he dipped some hot water from the basin and patted his face. His expression looked much more relaxed.

"Sleepy?"

"I stayed up late last night. I was planning to sleep in after class this afternoon and then go to the club, but I ended up coming to your place."

Kasumigaoka Utaha grasped the key point.

"Didn't you plan to come here in the first place?"

"If you didn't come to the club, I would have come to your place after school, but your homeroom teacher used his 'personality charm' to manipulate me at noon, so I ran away in order to escape as quickly as possible."

Puff-!

Thinking of Mr. Takeda's "personal charm", Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but smile, with a sad look.

"Why did you suffer so badly, Xiao Jun?"

“抢你调料瓶弄得人尽皆知，谣言从我揍你，变成你因恨生爱，现在已经变成你是我女朋友了。”

girlfriend? !

Rumors are flying everywhere in the school. Kasumigaoka Utaha is used to it, but when she heard that she is Xiao Jun's girlfriend, her heart still trembles.

Bai Ye was too lazy to explain. Various rumors were spread in the school from time to time. Kasumigaoka Utaha, one of the school beauties, was at the center of the rumors. However, they were all caused by everyone's idle gossip and no one took them seriously.

"The towel is cold, I changed it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help it. Her heart was surrounded by thousands of sharp thorns. Every time her heart beat, it brought her tenfold or a hundredfold more heartache.

"That's enough, Xiao Jun, stop it..."

“It hurts, it really hurts…”

She wanted to break through the siege of spikes, but it was so painful. Every attempt ended in failure, and her body was covered in blood.

"Xiao Jun, aren't you the one who cherishes girls the most and can't bear to see them get hurt?"

"Why do you make me experience this feeling of helplessness, this pain of feeling like a thorn in my back and a lump in my throat again and again?"

Putting down the coffee, Bai Ye seemed not to see the painful expression on Kasumigaoka Utaha's face. He wet the towel, wrung it dry, and then applied it to her lower back.

"I told you when I walked in that the purpose of my visit today was to make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

"You bring it up, just this once."

Kasumigaoka Utaha still didn't let go of the arms that covered her face, and her voice trembled with desire.

Is this the last chance?

"Anything is fine?"

"I don't commit murder or arson, nor do I steal, beg, kidnap, or cheat, because I don't have the courage to do them. Kasumigaoka-san, please explain your intentions."

"Make me cry."

Snap——!

It was not the sound of falling tears, but the sound of Bai Ye clenching the coffee can.

The room fell into silence for a moment. Bai Ye drank the last sip of coffee and placed the can next to the glass.

"This is very expensive, Kasumigaoka-san."

"I know. How expensive is it?"

"No, you don't. You don't know how much it will cost."

Bai Ye interrupted her, his tone as serious as when he just ordered takeout.

"I've said before that at critical moments, I prefer to speak clearly. If I cling to unnecessary fantasies, I'll only sink deeper into the swamp."

Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Xiao, you don't speak like a businessman."

Bai Ye shook his head.

"Businessmen exploit information asymmetry to profit. This is a transaction between us. I hope you are fully aware of the details of the transaction and its subsequent impact."

Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't understand.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"The trade itself cannot be used to measure whether it is equal. We can only judge whether it is worthwhile by whether it is a win-win situation. However, a win-win situation at the moment does not guarantee a win-win situation in the future."

Bai Ye sighed, sat down beside Kasumigaoka Utaha's pillow, and pushed aside the bangs that covered her eyes.

"I don't want to exploit this information gap to profit from you, leaving you regretting it later and trapping yourself in another cage of guilt. So I'm trying every possible way to make everything clear."

"No one desires pain, not even me. Kasumigaoka-san, do you understand?"

Bai Ye didn't know whether he had earned the greatest benefit, but he knew that this was the way to cause the least harm to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"So, Kasumigaoka-san, have you made up your mind? If you have, tell me again and I'll make my request."

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned over with great pain, just to let Bai Ye see clearly that she was nodding.

'This is probably my last chance, really...'

"Xiao Jun, please save me, please, please..."

"I want to cry. I feel so bad. I've been feeling so bad. It's so tormenting. I've forgotten what it feels like to cry. Please let me cry. Please, Xiao Jun..."

Bai Ye stood up and smiled with relief. Seeing her eyes, he understood one thing.

"I've accepted your deal. The price you'll have to pay is huge, extremely huge, even beyond your imagination. The future impact is something you can't see clearly or estimate right now."

"Even so, do you still want to trade, Shiyu?"

Shiyu...

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled, she understood what the deal was.

"Xiao Jun, you are not a qualified businessman. Wouldn't I make a lot of money this way?"

"This is a win-win situation. Don't think I didn't see you hiding your tears behind the blanket. Your tears now don't count towards the deal. There will be a time when you can cry out loud."

Bai Ye bent down and took something out of the bag.

A brown paper bag.

"I've read the third volume of Love Metronome. It's great! The plot is great! From a reader's perspective, if you submit the third volume to the editor, it will be 100% approved."

Tear it——!

Following Bai Ye's sincere praise was the sound of paper being shredded.

The cover of the third volume of "Love Metronome" turned into shredded paper. Bai Ye lifted it up, and the shredded paper was like flying snow in winter, falling in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes, along with her tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Bai Ye handed over a page and his smile became gentlemanly again.

"Would you like to try tearing it apart? It's very stress-relieving~~"

Tear it——!

One piece was not enough, so Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed several sheets of manuscript with her claws and teeth. Behind the flying pieces of paper was her relieved smile.

"Didn't you say you wanted to cry out loud? Shiyu, why are you laughing out loud while crying?"

PS: Thank you for the gift from my friends. The number of recommendation votes yesterday was almost 300, which is a pity.

Progress Report 3 (2188/10000)

this is a normal update

Chapter 78: Hug her openly and he won’t be able to find out!

Gululu——Gululu——

The kettle on the table was boiling. Bai Ye turned off the switch, poured the hot water into the semi-cold water in the basin and stirred it. He tested the water temperature, wet the towel with satisfaction, and repeated the previous steps.

Utaha Kasumigaoka was lying in a pile of shredded paper, browsing the school forum on her cell phone, humming an unknown tune, and her calves restlessly moving the shredded paper around. She looked to be in a good mood.

"Is it okay, Xiao Jun?"

"This is the last hot compress. I'll go down and check the fire first after applying the medicine."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bai Ye looked at the time. It was almost 3 o'clock and everyone should be in the second class.

The third volume of "Love Metronome" was torn to pieces by him and Kasumigaoka Utaha, which represented her brave first step to tear open the "confinement" brought by Aki Tomoya.

From her actions of laughing and crying, Bai Ye understood one thing.

Kasumigaoka Utaha has let it go.

Aki Tomo may have a good impression of her, but he doesn't care about her. She waited for a whole day, but the distress signal she sent in the chat group fell on deaf ears. Regardless of whether Aki Tomo understood it or not, the result of "doing nothing" did not change.

Since what Tomoya Aki cares about is her ability rather than her self, why does he still attach irrelevant emotions to "Love Metronome"?

The soup pot is boiling.

Bai Ye turned off the fire and the rice in the rice cooker was just right.

Stir the hot rice and let the water evaporate for 5 minutes. The rice will taste better. Bai Ye thought about it, sprinkled a little more salt into the soup pot, and added some pickles brought from home.
