Zongman: As long as the money is in place, I can do anything

However, just as she was approaching the classroom door, Rikka Takanashi suddenly saw a girl with twin golden ponytails slowly walking out of the classroom door.

"Goldenflower?"

Almost in an instant and subconscious action, Rikka Takanashi hid behind the protruding pillar on the wall.

Sensing the movement, Eriri Sawamura looked in the direction of Rikka Takanashi, but the other party avoided the glance well because of her small stature.

"Is it an illusion..."

Without stopping, Sawamura Eriri continued to move towards her class. After all, the lunch break was almost over, and Bai Nianyu still hadn't come back, so she had no choice but to leave and come back next time.

It was not until Eriri Sawamura left that Rikka Takanashi dared to slowly walk out from behind the pillar.

As for why Rikka Takanashi wanted to hide, it was thanks to what Bai Nianyu had done in the past two years.

Two years ago, whenever Rikka Takanashi and Eriri Sawamura met, there would definitely be a big conflict.

Every time they have to wait for Bai Nianyu to mediate, even though neither of them is in the right when a conflict arises between them, and they are both being unreasonable.

But Rikka Takanashi could feel that Bai Nianyu always tended to be on the side of Eriri Sawamura.

Over time, Rikka Takanashi became reluctant to meet Eriri Sawamura.

Although in the days that followed, Eriri Sawamura's attitude towards Rikka Takanashi took a 180-degree turn, and she treated her like an ordinary classmate.

Rikka Takanashi knew that with the other party's way of getting along, it would be difficult for the two of them to have conflicts again, but Rikka Takanashi was still very resistant to meeting the other party.

Therefore, the action of hiding just now was completely subconscious.

"Damn you hero! You didn't even stand on the side of the Evil King's Eye!"

Rikka Takanashi muttered softly, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, after school, I will make sure the hero has a taste of the power of the Evil King's True Eyes."

"What to taste?"

"Wow!"

At this moment, Bai Nianyu came behind Rikka Takanashi calmly and patted her shoulder gently.

It was just such a light tap, but it scared Rikka Takanashi so much.

"Have you finished talking to Hiratsuka-sensei, Brave?"

Seeing Rikka Takanashi's look, Bai Nianyu smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. Instead, he continued speaking along with her words.

"We've finished talking. Now we just need to gather five people and your club can be formed."

"But..."

At this moment, a sly smile appeared on Bai Nianyu's face. When Rikka Takanashi saw this smile, she felt something was wrong and was about to run away.

"Ghana~ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ"

However, Rikka Takanashi's actions could not escape Bai Nianyu's eyes. Bai Nianyu immediately grabbed Rikka Takanashi's wrist.

Rikka Takanashi's petite body is like a bird tied by its ankles with a rope, unable to fly away no matter how hard it tries.

"Don't leave in a hurry yet."

"No, every time the hero puts that smile on his face, he says something terrible."

"Really? I think my smile is pretty bright and sunny."

Bai Nianyu said without blushing or beating his heart.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."

"You're not going to borrow money from me, are you?"

"In your eyes, am I the kind of person who is greedy for money?"

Rikka Takanashi really wanted to nod, but when she saw the other party's kind smile, she quickly changed her nod to a shake of her head.

Seeing this, Bai Nianyu put away the smirk on his face and put on a relaxed look.

"That's what Teacher Jing said. The club needs five people, which means we need four more people besides you."

"I can help you with three of them, but you have to figure out the remaining one yourself."

When Rikka Takanashi heard Bai Nianyu's request, her pupils widened a little. If the eye with the contact lens was not closed, the contact lens would probably have fallen off.

"Brave man, please ask me to lend you some money."

Rikka Takanashi is not the type of person who likes to be alone, but her chuunibyou personality means that she doesn't have many friends around her.

When school started, Rikka Takanashi did try to make friends, but in the end she failed.

Just as Bai Nianyu said, it's good enough that Rikka Takanashi doesn't get bullied at school given her personality.

"Anyway, no matter what method you use, the remaining choice is up to you, Rikka."

"At least Rikka should show me, a brave warrior, the power of the Evil King's True Eye User."

You know, Bai Nianyu rarely shows this expression and uses this tone towards Rikka Takanashi.

Just like Bai Nianyu said before, hunger marketing, although old-fashioned, is quite effective.

Looking at Bai Nianyu's expectant eyes, Rikka Takanashi instantly became elated. She raised her little face slightly, patted her chest, and looked full of confidence.

"No problem! Leave it to me."

"Uh-huh."

Hearing Bai Nianyu's expectant tone, Rikka Takanashi's face raised even higher.

After Bai Nianyu left, Rikka Takanashi slowly came out of her confident look.

The simple-minded Rikka Takanashi would never have thought that she was coaxed by Bai Nianyu in the way he coaxed a child.

She only knew that she had to let Bai Nianyu see the power of the Evil King's True Eyes.

At this time, Sawamura Eriri was complaining about wasting so much time by not asking about Bai Nianyu's condition.

"Eri, where did you go this afternoon?"

"Did he go to see Bai?"

At the entrance of Class F, a girl couldn't help but joked when she saw Eriri Sawamura coming back.

Just when Eriri Sawamura was about to say something, the girl in front of her interrupted her directly.

"Oh! Speak of the devil, I won't bother you anymore."

Sawamura Eriri turned her head in confusion and found that Bai Nianyu was slowly walking towards her.

Bai Nianyu, who had parted with Rikka Takanashi, did not return to the classroom. Now there was still some time before class, so he wanted to go to Class F to get back his two lunch boxes from yesterday.

Although the employment relationship was terminated, the two lunch boxes were Bai Nianyu's private property, and even a small amount of money was still meat.

Because they just missed each other, Bai Nianyu didn't know that Sawamura Eriri had brought the lunch box back, so at this moment he slowly walked towards Class F.

He also happened to run into Sawamura Eriri who had just returned to the class.

Chapter 22 After the contract ended, the withdrawal reaction was too severe

When Sawamura Eriri saw Bai Nianyu coming, she hurriedly trotted to Bai Nianyu's side.

Looking at Sawamura Eriri's slightly excited expression, Bai Nianyu felt his brain go blank in an instant. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Sawamura Eriri with this expression.

"Student Bai, you're here."

Bai Nianyu is really confused now, because he can't figure out what the other party is thinking.

Sawamura Eriri's attitude is completely opposite to her attitude yesterday. Did the other party also sign a contract? And the contract just happened to expire yesterday?

Although he was doubtful, Bai Nianyu remained calm.

"Um... come get those two lunch boxes from yesterday."

"I've already sent your lunch box back..."

Bai Nianyu was even more confused. He wondered if it was Sayuri Sawamura who told Eriri Sawamura about the contract?

Otherwise, why was the other party acting so strangely today? After all, sending the lunch box back only happened in the first few months of the contract, and it hadn't happened in the more than a year since then.

Bai Nianyu didn't know how to answer this question. He could only nod silently and prepare to leave.

After all, his purpose of coming here had been achieved, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, Sawamura Eriri beside him called him in time.

"and many more."

Bai Nianyu stopped and looked at Sawamura Eriri with some doubt in his eyes.

"Anything else?"

Hearing Bai Nianyu's cold tone, Sawamura Eriri paused for a moment, but she still spoke.

"white...."

But when the words reached her throat, Sawamura Eriri found that she couldn't say them at all. Bai Nianyu's cold look just now was like a steel needle stuck in her throat.

Seeing Sawamura Eriri's hesitant look, Bai Nianyu thought for a while and immediately realized what was going on.

Bai Nianyu guessed that it was because he didn't deliver lunch today. Coupled with his cold look, it must have made Sawamura Eriri think of something. She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Bai Nianyu suddenly felt like he had a brain cramp. Sayuri Sawamura said that the deal between them could not be revealed to Eriri Sawamura, but she didn't say that she couldn't cover it up with a lie.

Bai Nianyu patted his head helplessly. Originally, he was planning to stop asking about anything concerning Sawamura Eriri and just let the matter end quietly.

But now Bai Nianyu thinks it would be more convenient to put the matter on the table and talk about it.

Thinking of this, Bai Nianyu took over Sawamura Eriri's words and spoke slowly.

"Sawamura-kun, I won't bother you anymore from now on."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally timid Eriri Sawamura instantly turned into a statue.

Although she had thought of this possibility a long time ago, and this was also what she had been expecting, for some reason, now she felt a little at a loss.

Seeing Sawamura Eriri's look of disbelief, Bai Nianyu thought that his expression was not clear enough, so he continued.

"I'm sorry for taking up two years of your time. From now on I won't be in your life anymore."

"No....No need to apologize..."

"I should thank Bai for his care."

Sawamura Eriri spoke as if she didn't care, but only she knew that something was wrong with her right now.

Bai Nianyu felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. Why did it feel like a boyfriend and girlfriend breaking up? It was obviously just a dog who said that he would not lick anymore.

Ah, it's not really a bootlicker. If you bring your salary to work, you should be called a bootlicker with a salary...

However, Bai Nianyu really felt like a failure. He had clearly used all his strength and spent two years but he still couldn't make Sawamura Eriri feel moved.

Although Bai Nianyu knew that this was the best situation, he still felt like a failure, and his self-esteem had suffered a setback.

Bai Nianyu looked at Sawamura Eriri who seemed to be nonchalant in front of him and sighed, thinking that this elderly lady in front of him might have never taken this matter to heart.

Thinking of this, Bai Nianyu felt even more frustrated.

"Then...the things you gave me..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Nianyu answered directly without much hesitation.

"Sawamura-kun, take care of it yourself. If it's an eyesore, it's okay to throw it away."

This is the best answer. After all, Bai Nianyu will never come back.

The gifts that Eriri Sawamura mentioned should be considered as some small benefits that Bai Nianyu gave to his own customers.

Just like the bracelet he gave to Sayuri Sawamura last time, Bai Nianyu paid for these small gifts out of his own pocket and did not include them in public funds.

The same goes for the gifts given to Sawamura Eriri. On birthdays or some important holidays, or when Bai Nianyu feels like it, Sawamura Eriri will receive a gift from Bai Nianyu.

However, Bai Nianyu didn't know why Sawamura Eriri asked such a question, making it seem like the two of them were really breaking up as a couple.

"Sawamura-san, do you treat other suitors like this as well?"

Sawamura Eriri shook her head.

"With you here, how can I have other suitors?"
