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

Bai Ye opened his phone and his face instantly turned cold.

Chapter 701 The Greatest Self-Knowledge Is That I Love You

Night falls.

Shiyu walked out of the bathroom, stepping into the swirling smoke. Holding a hair dryer in her hand, she walked back to the living room while drying her hair, looking leisurely and relaxed.

She is staying alone tonight.

This is the privilege of being a good student. Compared with other thieving cats, you can have one more day of time alone together every week.

"Xiaobai-kun, help me blow dry my hair."

Bai Ye was typing on the keyboard, but there was no response.

Shiyu pursed her lips and covered his head with the towel used to dry his hair.

"Shiyu?"

"Are you back to your senses? I called you a few times but you didn't respond."

"Because I smell you."

"Hentai flavor control."

Shiyu had no intention of blaming him. She understood that the reason why Xiaobaijun was in a trance was inseparable from what happened in the evening.

"Isn't it just a message from Akane Benizaka? Is it really necessary to go to all this trouble?"

Bai Ye nodded, understanding that the other party was taking the initiative to open up a conversation in order to relieve his worries.

"I didn't put much thought into it, I just felt a little unhappy."

"It sounds like this 'dot' is quite large. I'm afraid it must have been carved with an iron hammer."

Just in the evening, Akane Benizaka sent a message.

A greeting message.

[Ye Jun, did you enjoy your hot spring trip? If you have time, let's make an appointment to chat.]

Just a short sentence contains a huge amount of information.

First, Akane Benizaka was serious about the name change. Even though nearly half a month had passed since she proposed changing the name and there had been no contact between them, she did not change the other party's idea.

Second, the fact that Akane Benizaka knew that Byakuya was going to the hot springs was equivalent to knowing who was going with him, and it was also a disguised way of telling Byakuya that she knew about his secret relationship with the girls in the club.

Third, now that the intelligence has been gathered, wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't come out and fight? Ye Jun isn't the kind of person who is afraid of things, right?

"Although I know that our relationship can't be hidden from Akane Benizaka for long, but the thought of it being used to make a fuss is quite annoying. They don't even give me a chance to breathe..."

Shiyu sat behind him and rubbed his shoulders with her soft and gentle hands.

"Your shoulders are so stiff. It's already Wednesday. If Akane Benizaka doesn't give you time to breathe, why not choose that moment to leave? Don't even go to the hot springs."

"If it's really as you said, Shiyu, I'd feel relieved."

If Akane Benizaka ruined the hot spring trip, Bai Ye would not need to save face and would just hit her in the face with the most ruthless moves he could.

If it was Akane Benizaka who sent the message on Monday, he could have postponed the meeting on the pretext of being busy with business to dampen the other party's enthusiasm.

But today is Wednesday, and two and a half days are definitely enough for him to handle the business accumulated over the weekend. If he uses being busy as an excuse, it would be like telling Akane Benizaka that he is incompetent and cannot even handle the work in a timely manner.

"I've been calculated... I'm afraid that Akane Benizaka has been paying attention to me since the moment we came back. Now she won't be able to take it anymore."

"Isn't that great~" Shiyu said with a tone full of gloating, "Making a girl think about you day and night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, isn't this the highest praise for being a gentleman?"

"Shiyu, you are kidding, right? Why do I feel like sitting on pins and needles?" Bai Ye glanced sideways.

"Do I look like I'm kidding? Aren't there many girls who miss you so much they toss and turn and can't sleep?"

"What about you, Shiyu?" Bai Ye fought back unwillingly.

"I slept soundly. I was tired."

Shiyu glared at him and handed him the hair dryer.

Bai Ye took it with a smile, asked her to sit on the floor, and carefully blew her hair.

"When are you going to meet Akane Benizaka?"

"tomorrow."

"I'll go as well."

"What are you going to do?"

Shiyu leaned back and looked into Bai Ye's eyes.

"I want to verify my idea."

"what idea?"

"Before, Akane Benizaka might have valued me, Eriri, and Izumi, but now, the one she values most is you, Shiro-kun."

"Could it really be me..." Bai Ye stretched out his voice.

Shiyu shut him up with one sentence.

"It is important to know yourself. Being overly arrogant or overly modest is equally annoying."

"Alright." Bai Ye brushed his bangs back. "I have to admit, with some reluctance, that I'm incredibly handsome."

"You have to sleep on the floor tonight, or I promise I won't vomit in your face out of disgust."

Shiyu is not arrogant enough to think that she can see through everything, so she has always wanted to find an opportunity to meet with Hongzaka Akane to measure her own value in various aspects.

"Xiaobai-kun, what do you think of the final volume of "Love Metronome"?"

"That's great!" Bai Ye said without hesitation.

"How about comparing it to those old masterpieces and veteran authors?"

Bai Ye raised his brows and waited for a few seconds before speaking.

"I can't say she's a crowd-pleasing star, but at least she's a rising star worth looking forward to."

"That's what I mean." Shiyu turned back with satisfaction. "I'm always being praised as a 'rising star worth looking forward to'. People just don't mind having another copy of 'Love Metronome' on their bookshelf. It's not essential."

"Shiyu, you know yourself very well. At least in my heart, you are the best one."

"Thank you, Xiaobai-kun, you're quite nice when you're serious. Unlike those guys who are still secretly slipping love letters into my shoe cabinet, don't they know that I'm too much for some hentai to mess with? They don't achieve anything except self-satisfaction."

A certain Hentai wants to defend a fellow gentleman.

"Maybe we did a good job of keeping it secret."

"You're with Hui all day at school. Didn't they think you could use Hui to seduce all the girls in the club?"

"What kind of galgame plot is this..." Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

"Ultimately, it's all due to insufficient intelligence, which leads to insufficient self-awareness."

So the topic returned to self-knowledge.

"Shiyu, do you think Akane Benizaka has self-awareness?"

"Insufficient intelligence makes it difficult to judge."

"Only based on what we know now?"

"If she just wants to do business, Xiaobaijun, you should accept her offer. As the novel says, there are no eternal friends or rivals in the business world, only eternal interests."

"Wrong." Bai Ye said calmly.

"If Akane Benizaka hurt you, I wouldn't have that kind of self-awareness."

Shiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

"Xiao Baijun, you're different from those top entrepreneurs in society..."

"So they can only buy houses and keep mistresses everywhere, running around tired and worried every day, while I can live in a big house with my harem, relaxed and happy every day, enjoying the joy of family."

Bai Ye responded with a smug smile.

"What do you think? I'm quite self-aware, right~~"

Shiyu held her forehead and sighed, hiding her smile with her hands.

"I can't do anything about you. One day you'll die on a girl's lap."

"That's the best place for me. Just thinking about it makes me happyヽ(○^?^)ノ?"

Chapter 702 Who Needs Who More

Thursday is the day I agreed to meet with Akane Benizaka.

After school in the afternoon, Bai Ye and Shi Yu came to the coffee house and saw Akane Benizaka sitting in the box sipping coffee from afar.

"Do all of you novelists like to drink coffee?" Bai Ye asked, tilting his head.

"You're still in the mood to joke at this hour." Shi Yu rolled her eyes.

"Just liven up the atmosphere so you don't get too nervous to laugh later."

"I'm not nervous, I can't laugh because I'm tired. We're talking about business today. You were in the mood for business last night. Remember to get me a cup of coffee later."

After saying that, Shiyu left first, leaving Bai Ye muttering.

"It was you, Shiyu, who took the initiative to ride on me, why are you blaming me..."

……

The two came to the table of Akane Benizaka, and before they could greet her, Akane stood up and said hello:

"Hello, Mr. Ye, it's been a while since we last met."

"It's been a while since we last met, Senior Zhu Yin." Bai Ye shook hands with her.

"Also." Akane Benizaka turned around, smiling through her mask, "Teacher Kasumi Shiko, is this our first meeting?"

"Hello, President Benisaka." Shiyu also smiled and shook hands. "If you don't count the quick glance at the summer festival, this is indeed the first time we meet."

She had met Akane Benizaka backstage at the summer festival signing venue.

The two shook hands and then let go, sitting down.

Shiyu's first impression of Akane Benizaka was not favorable because she had a similar temperament to her own.

It was a confrontation of momentum that was strong, unwilling to fall behind, and determined to dominate.

There is only one person who is more powerful.

Due to her limited experience, achievements, money and other reasons, Shiyu realized that she would probably not be able to defeat Akane Hongsaka in terms of novels, business and scheming.

The only thing that can definitely surpass Akane Benizaka is probably love.

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko seems to be hostile to me?"

Shiyu's eyes paused, realizing that she had revealed a flaw that she shouldn't have, and then responded with her best smile.

"President Benisaka, you're joking. I'm just curious about the genius novelist who everyone talks about, the man who founded Rouge on Rouge."

"Since you have no hostility, then I am also Kasumi Shiko-sensei's senior. How about Kasumi Shiko-sensei calling me Akane-senpai, just like Ye-kun?"

Attack, a clear attack!

Shi Yu couldn't figure out what the other party was up to, so she had to look at Bai Ye questioningly.

What she didn't notice was that a hint of disappointment flashed across Hongzaka Akane's eyes.

Bai Ye couldn't grasp Hongzaka Akane's thoughts for a moment, but that didn't stop him from making a great move with little effort.

"Shiyu, weren't you admitted to Hayatei University? Senior Zhu Yin also graduated there, so it's only right to call her senior."

Bai Ye's words expressed it very clearly.

Calling Akane Benizaka "senpai" is a social etiquette and does not have any other meaning. It does not mean that the relationship has become close.

"That's right, Akane-senpai, you can just call me Shiyu."

After some meaningful but meaningless greetings, the waiter brought coffee and cola, which was like the pause bell in a boxing match, and both sides stepped aside to drink water and rest.

When Bai Ye was asked to meet Hongzaka Akane, he naturally didn't want to be the first to reveal his moves. As the saying goes, whoever loses control first is more likely to reveal his flaws.

"What's up with you asking me out today, Akane-senpai? If you need any snacks, just let me know and I'll deliver them to your door right away."

"Did Ye Jun deliver the goods to my door personally? Hahaha~~ Just kidding."
