Chapter 55: Is It Okay to Get Straight to the Point?
“Why… why are you all here?”
The series of disturbances that happened in the locker room will be skipped for now. In short, we are now gathered in the dining room to have a meeting.
The first person to answer my question was Xinran, the one who had just delivered a spinning back kick and sent me flying.
“Because we received an invitation.”
“Same here.”
Yu Hui followed, and if she hadn’t stopped Xinran, I might have been finished in the locker room just now.
“Rather, I’m more curious, Juncheng, why are you here…”
Keling, pouting and looking at me with a resentful expression. She had tried to land a finishing blow while I was down, but why did she start taking off her underwear? Where was she aiming to finish me off?!
“That’s right, Juncheng! Do you know, do you know… *sob*… I thought, I thought…”
Lily, who had been crying since a while ago, burst into tears every time she saw me. I don’t have any tear-jerking ingredients on me, and I’m alive and well, so why are you crying like you’ve seen a dead person?
Then, Nana, who exuded the strongest killing intent and glared at me with a hateful gaze, as if she wanted to eat me alive—she’s still glaring. I already beat her up once, why isn’t she satisfied yet?
“We were worried you’d been kidnapped by someone, and we searched all over the city and buildings like crazy! But you, on the other hand, are enjoying yourself in a place like this. Thinking about it now, we were so anxious, we were just stupid!”
“I’m sorry…”
“No apologies allowed!”
“…”.

What else do you want me to do? (crying)

I covered my injured cheeks with my hands like a bullied, pathetic child, remaining silent.
“So, you’ve actually been living here for the past few months, Juncheng?”
“….”
Xinran said, looking at me with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.
“Alright, we’re not going to eat you. Why are you so scared?”
You didn’t say that when you were beating me up.
“But this mansion is really huge… Although Principal Nana’s house is also very large, this is on another level. And it’s in the center of the city… Aren’t the property prices in this area astronomical?”
Yu Hui looked around and exclaimed, gazing at the luxuriously decorated dining room.
Nana, with her legs crossed, said unhappily.
“After all, it’s a luxury mansion of Ji Corporation… Hmph, when did a poor boy get involved with a wealthy young miss…”
“Don’t make me sound so pathetic X. =
Although it was true, saying it in front of so many people was really embarrassing…
“Hmph, this is a compliment. Do you think anyone can get close to that aloof young miss? You being favored by her is practically a miracle.”
I’m aware of that, and I have been for a long time. (Living)
Except for Li Nai and Lan, it seems everyone else is already here.
Xun isn’t here, but she came with Nana and the others. When she saw Xue Qing just now, their eyes met, and they clicked as if they’d known each other forever. The three little lolis happily went off to play, holding hands.
Although it feels a bit shameless for me to say this, looking at it this way, the harem members are almost all here…
“So, you came here for refuge because Xiao An and you were targeted?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Since they found me here, I couldn’t leave. I could only hide some of the truth and tell them that an organization called Pure World Glazed Tile wanted to kill me and kidnap Xiao An.
And it must have been Ruanruan’s doing that she gathered them all here… She seriously wants to help me build a harem…
I thought she had given up on such a ridiculous idea after three months.
But when I woke up just now and found everyone here, cold sweat started to break out on my forehead.
Hey, hey, is this place really going to become a literal ‘harem’…?
But generally speaking, wouldn’t a group of harem members gathered together lead to a very terrifying massacre?
Because the male protagonist is indecisive and fails to make a decision, but his boundless kindness raises the stakes for each female lead, ultimately leading to either a good ending of “everyone is my wing” or a bad ending of “everyone dies.” And from a realistic perspective, the latter is more likely…
Seeing me sweating profusely, Lily worriedly leaned over and wiped my forehead with a handkerchief, saying.
“Juncheng? Are you okay? You look terrible.”
“Ah, ahh… I’m fine…”

I’ll probably be killed by my own people before Pure World Glazed Tile even sends anyone to take me out.
Wow, Ruanruan, Ruan… What are you thinking…
Even if you want to help me build a harem, you can’t just gather everyone like this, right?
This isn’t a joke. A slight misstep could lead to a terrifying battle for supremacy, where everyone fights to the death, slaughtering each other until the last person remains. It feels entirely possible!
It’s not that I have a persecution complex; it’s that everyone present here is dangerous enough. Not to mention my two problematic younger sisters, Lily and Nana, the mother and daughter, are not simple characters either. The only normal one might be Yu Hui…
Could it be that Ruanruan’s true intention is to die with me…
Xinran, with her arms crossed, carefully observed my expression and snorted.
“He’s probably thinking about something he feels guilty about. Hmph… men are all like this. After making a mistake, they act pathetic in front of women.”
…You hit the nail on the head; you’ve struck my weak spot…
It seems I can’t stay here any longer. I’ll take Xiao An and Xue Qing and escape tonight!
I only want pure lolis!
While I was contemplating and planning my escape in my mind, the doors of the dining room were pushed open by the maids, and the owner of the mansion entered the dining room. The air around me seemed to warm up, and a gentle aura enveloped me, calming my frantic anxiety.
“Oh my, has everyone taken their seats? Hehe, welcome, everyone, to my mansion.”

Everyone else also looked at Ruanruan, whose presence now overwhelmed everyone in the room.
“It’s about time for dinner. Shirley, please bring out the dishes.”
“Yes, Young Miss.”
Miss Shirley bowed to everyone and left the dining room, while Ruanruan sat down opposite me… at the other end of the long table.
“It seems some people are missing… but it’s okay. Those who should come will eventually come.”
Are you referring to Li Nai? You did invite Li Nai after all… but Li Nai didn’t come.
Well, that’s understandable. She already knows what Ruanruan is planning. Who would come if they were openly going to become a harem member?
The others too, if Ruanruan had explained her intentions beforehand, they probably wouldn’t have come at all.
“Then, without further ado, I will directly explain the purpose of inviting you all here. Hmm.”
Is this going to get straight to the point?
By the way, I also don’t know why Ruanruan gathered everyone here.
“In short, please live here from now on.”
Ruanruan?!
Is it really okay to say it so directly?
