Looking at Lin Mu's back, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes were incredibly complex.
Clutching her constantly beating heart, a feeling of sourness and pain made her a little breathless.
She didn't understand what was wrong with her; she was clearly being bullied by him like that, yet just now her body had become soft and powerless.
She even subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, just like yesterday.
Could it be that he had cast some kind of magic on her?
This despicable guy, she hated him to death!
While the Second Miss was secretly cursing, Lin Mu suddenly turned around and walked towards her again.
Second Miss Yukinoshita's heart skipped a beat, she instinctively took two steps back, her face flushed, and crossed her arms defensively.
"What do you want to do now? I already said class is about to start!"
This reason clearly had no deterrent effect on a demon.
Lin Mu smiled and leaned in, extending his hands.
Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively closed her eyes tightly.
Biting her lip, she felt wronged, thinking he was too much of a bully. Wasn't what just happened enough?
However, Lin Mu had no intention of taking further advantage; he just gently covered her eyes with his hands and nourished them with his magic.
Yukino Yukinoshita only felt a warmth in her eyes, followed by a cool sensation.
Before she could speak, Lin Mu released his hands.
"Alright, the dark circles are gone. This is how Yukino-chan looks best."
After leaving that remark, Lin Mu turned around, and this time he really left.
Yukino Yukinoshita opened her eyes, staring blankly at his retreating back.
So, he wasn't trying to continue bullying her.
Was he trying to get rid of the dark circles under her eyes caused by insomnia?
This guy… he's actually quite gentle?
Bah!
Yukino Yukinoshita, don't be fooled by him!
This demon is a super bad guy, a super pervert!
Thinking that she actually found him gentle, Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head violently, shaking off that thought.
"Hmph, don't think I'll forgive you just because you got rid of my dark circles. I'll still hate you! And I'll continue to despise you in the future!"
Yukino Yukinoshita mumbled, then suddenly remembered something.
This guy seemed to have a personality that responded to softness but not hardness. If she continued to despise him, would he get angry and hug her like he did just now?
It was very possible!
In an instant, Yukino Yukinoshita became confused again, completely unsure what attitude to take towards this hateful man.
Back in her classroom seat, Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit her lip, unconsciously looking out the window.
What should she do?
She felt that Lin Mu, that pervert, wouldn't let her go.
Just now, he even made a demand like kissing her once every day.
He seemed… to really like her.
…
Leaving aside the flustered Yukino Yukinoshita, Lin Mu, on the other hand, was in a good mood, feeling extremely joyful.
After returning to his classroom seat, the smile on his face was uncontrollable.
He had thoroughly bullied the Second Miss, yet he felt happy.
Indeed, he was a bad person.
But he didn't dislike this side of himself.
Only by being bad could he get candy so quickly.
If he used the "gentle male lead" approach, he probably wouldn't even know when he'd get to hold the Second Miss's hand.
Yang Nai Jie had already made her move, and facing the Second Miss who looked at him so defiantly, how could he resist not making a move?
This pace was quite good now.
The happy Lin Mu poked Kato Megumi's slender waist with his finger.
"Kato-san, did you complete the task I gave you?"
When her waist was poked, Kato Megumi suddenly felt an itchy sensation where she was touched.
Since childhood, Lin Mu was the only man who had ever touched her waist.
A strange feeling instantly arose in her heart.
She didn't dislike this man who had no sense of boundaries and instinctively showed affection towards her.
So she nodded, saying with a strange expression, "I guess I completed it. I don't have light novels, manga, or game discs at home, so I borrowed some from my cousin's house to read."
Lin Mu looked at her in confusion, "Your cousin's house? What did you read then?"
Kato Megumi didn't hide it.
"It's that… drawn by Kashiwagi Eri-sensei… it felt so strange. Do girls' breasts really grow that way?"
That's practically a dairy cow.
That's not human at all!
Kato Megumi mumbled in her heart, wanting to continue, but Lin Mu covered her mouth.
"Stop, Kato-san, for the sake of your image as a girl, don't discuss the name Kashiwagi Eri at school."
Kato Megumi, whose mouth was covered, blinked at him, her eyes full of confusion.
Looking at Kato-san, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, Lin Mu sighed.
He leaned into her ear and whispered, "Kashiwagi Eri is an artist who draws those 'spicy' comics. If you talk about them in school and someone overhears, they'll think you're a pervert."
Kato Megumi's eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief.
"Are those strange comics what 'otaku culture' is?"
She muttered, then suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Lin Mu, is it too late for me to leave your club now?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu rolled his eyes at her and said seriously:
"I'm afraid once you join, you can't leave."
"And it's very necessary for me to explain the difference in our club's otaku culture to you."
"So-called otaku culture, or otaku goods, are divided into all-ages and 18+. You, Kato, just happened to find and read an 18+ work."
"Therefore, please do not borrow books from your cousin's house in the future, or I will not be able to resist rushing over and bringing you back."
"Uh... don't make it sound like you're eloping. My cousin and I don't usually keep in touch. Didn't you tell me to find comics and novels to read? I didn't know they were 18+..."
Kato Megumi explained calmly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
If you didn't look closely, you might not even notice.
Lin Mu's lips curved into a smile as he said, "So now you know, right?"
"Anyway, I'll find excellent works for you to read in the future, so don't get them from your cousin's house anymore."
Kato Megumi looked at him with a strange expression, feeling that he was expressing his possessiveness towards her.
However, her personality was always quiet, and she wasn't very interested in other things, so she didn't continue to ask.
"I understand. Then I'll leave it to you, Lin."
"Of course, after all, I'm the club president, and I have an obligation to ensure our members fully understand our club's activities."
Lin Mu's mood instantly became even happier when he heard her agree.
At the same time, he couldn't help but worry.
Kato is too easygoing, she barely refuses anything.
What if someone with ill intentions invited her, and she agreed? What then?
Sure enough, he should quickly introduce her to otaku culture; he must let her know that men can be very dangerous!
However, he seemed to have forgotten.
Others, let alone inviting her, would forget her even after a year in the same class, let alone inviting or hitting on her.
Just as he was thinking about how to tease the calm Kato-san, Lin Mu suddenly saw the class representative, Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia, collecting homework, and she was about to come over after making a round.
Thinking of Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia's chuunibyou dark history, Lin Mu immediately became interested.
So, he deliberately said to Kato Megumi, "Kato-san, did you know? In this world, there are spirits."
"Eh? Really?" Kato Megumi replied calmly, which made Lin Mu quite speechless.
"Can't you show a little more surprise? You're making it hard for me to continue."
Kato Megumi looked innocent, "I am surprised, and I am listening. You can continue."
0.1
"I can't tell you're surprised at all. You have no expression, just a blank, adorable look."
"Eh, adorable? Is that a compliment?"
"Yes, it's a compliment, very cute! But that's not important, let's continue our previous topic!"
Lin Mu cleared his throat twice and continued, "Kato-san, this world is full of various spirits."
"The one who has lived for 500 years, [MoriSummer], or rather, Lord Mori, once said that as long as there is love, one can see the legendary spirits."
After he finished speaking, Kato Megumi still looked at him with a blank, adorable expression, without any additional reaction.
Instead, Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia, who had just arrived, stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
Her body stiff, she walked past Lin Mu and Kato Megumi, slowly returning to her seat, but her ears were perked up, listening to their conversation.
"Eh, how amazing. And then? How can one express [love] to see spirits?"
Kato Megumi cooperatively raised a question.
Lin Mu smiled mysteriously, "Please let me keep that a secret. I'll tell you when we're alone."
