"No."
Bai Ye opened his eyes wide and looked out the window. The moon was already rising above the branches.
"Haven't you eaten yet? Shiyu, aren't you hungry?"
"I came to your house and saw your unworn underwear hanging on the balcony. I was so angry, and you said I still had an appetite? Oh - yes, if you can't explain it clearly, then I have an appetite."
Bai Ye glanced sideways, this scheming Shi Yu Chai Dao was unwilling to give up.
"I only bought one serving of beef rice and will make some more. The refrigerator is stocked with ingredients for today's party."
"I'm here to help."
The intimacy after jealousy brings the happiness of a new marriage after a short separation.
Shiyu couldn't help her excited and coquettish mood. By the time dinner was ready, she was sweating profusely. She leaned against the wall and turned on the air conditioner to cool down.
Bai Ye held dinner in his left hand and a drink in his right hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"Why didn't I realize you were so horny before, Shiyu?"
"Hentai-chan, who made me like this, has no right to say that."
Today's dinner was casual, just two servings of pork and beef fried rice. Although not as rich as usual, it was just right for the two of them who were immersed in the intimate atmosphere.
Shiyu scooped the fried rice slowly and looked at Bai Ye as if he was wolfing it down. Question marks popped up in her head.
"Is my taste getting better again, or has it been three days and three nights since you, Xiaobai-kun, gone without food? Why does it feel like we're not eating the same thing?"
"I'm so tired⊙﹏⊙" Bai Ye patted his chest to relieve his breath, "I've been battling wits and courage with Akane Benizaka, and my brain is about to explode. And you sucked me twice when I came back. If I don't eat, I'll be emaciated."
Shiyu chuckled and shared the beef in her bowl with him.
"It seems that Akane Benizaka is really giving you a headache... I need to replenish you, otherwise how are you going to get through tonight?"
Bai Ye didn't hesitate and picked up the beef and ate it with relish.
"Want to know what we talked about?"
"Xiaobai-kun, you are really stupid. You are just talking nonsense."
Bai Ye sorted out his thoughts and realized that there were quite a few key points in his afternoon conversation with Akane Benizaka.
News about "Flash Girls", information about Iori Hasima, exchanging affectionate names... In comparison, reaching a business cooperation is a trivial matter.
"Let's talk about the most important thing for you first. Akane Ayaka knows about 'Flash Girl'."
Shiyu paused, slowed down her chewing, and said after a moment:
"The timing is quite coincidental."
"which aspect?"
"It's everywhere." Shiyu poked Bai Ye's face with the handle of a spoon. "Are you trying to act crazy again? Obviously the biggest factor is that you let Dekai stay overnight. Otherwise, Iori Hatashima wouldn't have rushed to find Akane Benizaka. I'm right, right?"
"At first, I just wanted to persuade them to go out to sea. Although I later thought of using it to attack Iori Hajima, it was just a side effect. I didn't expect it to be so effective."
Shiyu took a sip of water, looking playfully.
"That's normal. Your own sister was deceived by a hentai scumbag who runs a harem. If you were Iori Hasima, wouldn't you be anxious?"
Bai Ye thought for a long time before he uttered a word.
"I am a good person."
"Hehe→_→"
After joking, Shiyu continued the topic.
"So, what happened? Did Iori Hasima simply tell Akane Azuka about the existence of 'Flash Girl'?"
"No, he did ask Akane Agasaka if they wanted to work together on Flash Girl, but she didn't agree right away, so the game is still in the hands of Iori Hasima."
"What else? Benisaka Akane didn't say anything?"
Bai Ye shook his head.
Akane Ayaka did not express any opinions about "Flash Girls" in the afternoon conversation. The only related topic mentioned was the overt actions of Iori Hasima.
"Old fox." Shiyu complained.
Bai Ye smiled.
A fox is a fox, but the word "old" is added to it. However, Akane Benizaka is relatively "old" in age and experience.
"Actually, I also researched Akane Benizaka," Shiyu recounted her efforts over the past few days. "I asked other author friends and some veteran fans in the industry. Their opinions on Akane Benizaka were mixed, but they were almost identical in one respect."
"What review?"
Shiyu put away her smile.
"Akinosaka Akane is a true genius, whether it's content creation, business management, or controlling people's hearts. After her first failure, she never failed again. As much as I hate to admit it, her light novel skills are indeed better than mine."
Shiyu closed her eyes, emotions brewing in her chest.
"She is able to struggle and get up from failure and do her best to stand higher, she..."
"very scary."
"Xiaobai-kun, don't be fooled by her appearance. Perhaps she has already reached an agreement with Iori Hasima in private, and what she did today is just to confuse you."
Bai Ye's heart suddenly tightened when he saw that even someone as proud as Shiyu felt inferior in the field of light novels.
What Shiyu said makes sense. Have I been too lax?
"Beisaka Akane didn't talk about you today, but something else happened."
"Say it."
Bai Ye told everyone everything about the exchange of names.
After hearing this, Shiyu's eyes looked strange for a moment, as if she had just eaten a bag of strange-tasting beans. Then a gleam of inspiration flashed in her eyes, as if she had unraveled thousands of clues and obtained an incredible answer.
Her eyes were filled with shock, and her slender fingers pointing at Bai Ye trembled slightly.
"Hey, Xiaobai-kun, could it be that you are the real target of Benisaka Akane?"
Chapter 659 What if it’s you that Akane Benizaka wants?
"I?"
Seeing Bai Ye pointing at himself without realizing it, Shi Yu suddenly had the urge to pull Bai Ye's face into a pancake, and she didn't know where to start complaining about him so much.
"Xiaobai-kun, you are such a person... I really admire you..."
Shiyu bit the soup spoon, thinking that this little white boy seemed to have no idea about herself at all.
In her opinion, Bai Ye's achievements... not counting the harem, just in business, are already rare among his peers. In time, he will surely become a rising star in the business world.
When Tomoya Aki first proposed to produce "Flash Girls", she admired Tomoya Aki's ambition in her heart, but when compared with Bai Ye, Tomoya Aki seemed like he was playing house and was blown away.
“There is no harm without comparison…”
Bai Ye was also confused.
This Shiyu has been talking to herself since just now, and her expression keeps changing between anger, speechlessness, sighs, and troubles, comparable to a novel with countless twists and turns.
"Shiyu, are you okay? Do you want to go to a mental hospital? I know someone who can give you a 20% discount."
"It's your stinky face!"
The girl with long black hair suddenly jumped up, grabbed his face and pulled it apart.
She understood that it was this silly face that was completely two different faces at home and outside, in public and private, and in work and life, and it was extremely confusing.
"You don't look like a successful person at all."
"I think it's a success to have a harem." Bai Ye retorted, but unfortunately his round face couldn't be serious.
"I didn't tell you this, but you're the first one to dare to start a harem."
"Ancient emperors had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. I only have you, Shiyu, Xiaohui, Yinglili, Bingtang, and Chuhai."
"That's all?!"
Shi Yu didn't stop until Bai Ye was so evil that he started to doubt his life. Looking at Bai Ye resting his head on her thigh like a rogue, she couldn't help but reach out and touch his angular face.
"One stick and one sweet date, Shiyu, you are really good at PUA (?O?)"
"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."
Shiyu understood that if Bai Ye always looked like a successful person, she might join the Bai Ye Club out of utilitarianism, but it would not be considered a "harem club".
Everyone's original intention of joining the White Night Club is to have fun.
"Has anyone ever praised you, Xiaobai-kun, for your youth and promising future?"
"Yes."
"You haven't counted yet?"
"Everyone says that, and gradually I lose my sense of it."
Shiyu: “…”
This Versailles guy, if he is released, there is a 120% chance that he will be dragged into a small dark room and beaten.
"Let's get down to business." Shiyu leaned over and stared into his eyes. "I think Benisaka Akane's real target is you, Xiaobai-kun."
"Is this possible?"
"Even though the initial target might have been me, now the target might have become you. Well... conservatively speaking, the probability is 99%."
“Is this different from 100%…?”
The hypothesis proposed by Shiyu is worth pondering. Bai Ye recalled the details of his meeting with Benizaka Akane.
"Akinosaka Akane did praise me for my youth and potential a few times, and Xiaohui was there at the time."
"If her target is me..."
"There are too many things involved. Let me think..."
The room fell silent as both men racked their brains over the challenge they faced.
The most obvious point is that if Byakuya is "recruited" by Benizaka Akane, it would be equivalent to Benizaka Akane controlling half of the Byakuya club.
Bai Ye couldn't accept this.
"If we join rouge on rouge as a club, it will also give Akane Benizaka the opportunity to get closer to everyone."
"Have you ever thought that Akane Benizaka only wants you, Xiaobai-kun?" Shiyu said with a smile.
“No one wants too little of good things.”
The more Bai Ye thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Yu's words made sense.
What kind of talent is rouge on rouge most in need of right now?
Is a manager.
All the club's external affairs, big or small, are handled by Akane Benizaka alone. She once said that even three heads and six arms would not be enough. Today, she was able to take a break from her busy schedule to have afternoon tea thanks to Sonoko Machida.
Although Iori Hatima is also a manager, he is an internal manager. Although he knows some directors, writers, and celebrities in the circle, he is not qualified to sit in the position of external representative.
"Shiyu, do you think I'm a good external representative?"
"Xiaobai-kun, you could be more confident. With your life experiences, your otaku background, your outgoing personality, and your wealth of experience, I can't think of anyone your age who's more suitable to be a representative."
"I feel a little proud when you say that~"
Shi Yu snorted disdainfully, but in her heart she was sighing:
"Gold will always shine. I should have thought that this day would come."
"What would you think if Akane Azusa invited you to rouge on rouge?"
"Didn't I just say I would give her a chance?"
"No, I mean she only invited you, not other people in the club."
Bai Ye was stunned.
He thought that if he didn't know Shiyu and the others, he would have joined Akane Benizaka's invitation, even if he didn't agree without hesitation.
It's a pity no.
Now that he was the president of the Byakuya Club, it would be putting the cart before the horse to live up to the name of the "Harem Club."
