At first, I was still hesitating about whether to make a move on Qian Yin.
But seeing her shy demeanor, I made up my mind.
I didn’t expect that, despite this guy seeming like a pervert on the surface, she’d actually get so shy in front of others?
Just from me picking up a piece of food for her, she was already embarrassed.
And this was even when Mo Yu and that other girl were flirting and not paying attention to us.
If it was under their gazes…
Heh heh heh, heh heh heh~
At this point, some thoughts I hadn’t had about Qian Yin since my rebirth suddenly popped into my mind.
Soon enough, Mo Yu’s provocative gaze landed on me again.
This time, I wasn’t angry at all and just gave her a disdainful smirk.
What’s so great about having a partner?
Back in the day, I, Gui Ye, had played around with who-knows-how-many girls.
Today, I’ll show you what true charm looks like.
With that, I turned my gaze to Qian Yin.
Her face was still flushed, and she was taking small bites of the food I had just picked for her.
She’s this shy?
That’s surprising, but it suits my taste perfectly.
Ignoring Qian Yin’s bashful expression, I picked up a small piece of scallop in front of Mo Yu and held it toward Qian Yin.
“Ah~”
Qian Yin was momentarily dazed, then looked up at me.
After realizing what I meant, she reached out with her plate to take it, but I pulled it back.
Seeing her confused look, I gave a slight smile.
“Open your mouth. I’ll feed you.”
“Huh?! Um… that…”
Qian Yin’s face turned even redder under Mo Yu’s gaze.
In this situation, as the one making the move, I had to channel the aura of a domineering CEO, leaving no room for refusal.
“Open your mouth already, don’t dawdle.”
“F-fine…”
Qian Yin, still blushing, leaned closer, and I smoothly fed her the food.
Mo Yu and the other girl were watching.
Under the three of us staring, Qian Yin’s face was practically red to her ears.
Hmph hmph hmph, now that’s the vibe!
I knew it—my harem protagonist system never fails me!
After being outdone for days, I’m finally getting the treatment a protagonist deserves.
Seeing a girl’s shy reaction after being fed?
That’s pure bliss!
Having scored a point, I looked at Mo Yu and gave her a mocking smirk.
Though the provocation in Mo Yu’s eyes had faded, I knew that just feeding Qian Yin wasn’t enough to make her feel defeated.
No rush, though.
The big move is still to come.
My relationship with Qian Yin isn’t just about feeding her.
We could hold hands, kiss, and who knows, maybe even share a bed tonight!
That’s the life a harem protagonist should have.
Qian Yin’s shyness in front of me must be a turning point, signaling that I, Gui Ye, am about to sound the horn for a counterattack.
Not just Qian Yin—all those bad guys who’ve crossed me will one day fall to my charm!
For now, I’ll focus on winning Qian Yin over!
Seeing Mo Yu lose her earlier arrogance, I decided to press my advantage.
Before Qian Yin could finish eating, I leaned closer to her face.
“Come on, give me a kiss.”
To further assert my dominance, I deliberately put on a roguish, mischievous grin while staring at Qian Yin.
Hearing my request, Qian Yin naturally understood what I meant, and her face instantly flushed even more.
“N-Now?”
“Right now.”
I stood up, looking down at the shy Qian Yin.
While she hesitated, I glanced at Mo Yu, who was pretending not to notice, staring at her phone.
I mimicked her earlier attitude, shaking my head at her.
Mocking me?
How dare you?
But she still didn’t show any sign of being flustered, which made things a bit tricky.
No matter, I was already in control.
“Or… maybe not. They’re right here,” Qian Yin said, looking troubled as she pointed at Mo Yu and the other girl across from us.
I knew that even if I forced Qian Yin now, Mo Yu would just pretend not to see, refusing to show defeat, and it might even lower Qian Yin’s affection for me.
As a mature harem protagonist, I’d never let something like losing affection happen.
“Fine, but you have to call me ‘husband.’”
I put one hand on my hip and patted Qian Yin’s shoulder with the other.
I must’ve looked like a total rogue in her eyes.
But as a harem protagonist, when it’s time to play the rogue, you play the rogue!
“Huh? O-Okay… h-husband…”
Qian Yin was stunned for a moment but eventually followed my lead and called me “husband,” though her voice was soft.
Still, it made me ecstatic.
That’s more like it!
This is the treatment a harem protagonist deserves.
At this point, Mo Yu couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to break the mood.
“I think we’re about done with dinner. Why don’t we head to our rooms to rest? I only booked three rooms, so you two get one each, and…” She turned to the girl beside her with a smile.
“We’ll share a room tonight~”
I was about to say something, but the other girl beat me to it.
“No way. Let’s just split up.”
“Pfft!”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Trying to show off, huh?
You didn’t build up enough affection, and now you’re trying to flaunt your relationship?
Look at how awkward this is for you.
Mo Yu froze, sitting there dumbfounded, clearly at a loss for words.
This was the moment for me, the protagonist, to shine!
“Why don’t you two each take a room, and…” I mimicked Mo Yu’s earlier tone, giving Qian Yin a sly grin.
“We’ll share a room tonight~”
“I guess that’s the only way…”
Qian Yin’s voice was soft, but her response didn’t quite satisfy me.
“And the name?”
“Hm?”
Qian Yin hesitated a bit longer this time but eventually followed through.
“H-Husband…”
“That’s more like it.”
I nodded in satisfaction and glanced at Mo Yu, hoping to see her flustered.
But she suddenly changed the subject.
“How about this? It feels a bit early to head back to the rooms after dinner. Why don’t we all go soak in the hotel’s indoor hot spring?”
“Sure, why not? It’s on Miss Mo Yu’s tab, after all.”
I agreed without hesitation.
Why wasn’t I in a rush to go back to the room with Qian Yin?
First, I haven’t fully achieved my goal of making Mo Yu eat her words.
Second, I want to see Qian Yin’s shy expression while soaking in the hot spring.
After all, she’s crossed me before, and now that the tables have turned, I can’t let her off easily!
Third, I want to catch a glimpse of the women’s bathhouse I’ve always dreamed of.
And finally, my desire for revenge against Mo Yu hasn’t been fully satisfied.
I need to mock her thoroughly!
