Chapter 121 Are You The Protagonist？
"Huh?" Li Xia looked at Kiyoura Mai with a puzzled expression. According to the usual script, this was the time for her to step forward and help someone overcome the difficulties, and then increase their favorability.
"There's still time," Kiyoura Mai said again, taking a step forward and locking eyes with Katsura Manami.
"Thank you for your kindness, Kiyoura-san," a girl next to them spoke up proactively. "Although we really want to finish shooting the video, the main actor can't continue filming now. We only have three days left, even if we rush to finish it, the effect will be greatly reduced."
Katsura Manami had been very persistent, but after seeing Li Xia and Kiyoura Mai approaching, she lowered her head and remained silent.
"You have already finished two-thirds of the video, so there's no need to reshoot those parts," Kiyoura Mai said confidently. "You can continue filming the latter half by modifying the script and using body doubles."
"But we need a lot of facial expressions," the girl spoke up again, clearly not optimistic about Kiyoura Mai's proposal.
"I have the best teammates," Kiyoura Mai pointed to Li Xia behind her with a smile.
"?" Li Xia looked puzzled, feeling like he's now the second male lead in a youth campus romance drama, and the first male lead is actually Kiyoura Mai.
"Why are you helping me?" Katsura Manami spoke, adjusting her glasses with her hand, her expression unreadable.
"It's not just to help you," Kiyoura Mai crossed her arms, walking up to Katsura Manami, gazing into her eyes. "I've accepted your challenge, so I can't allow you to give up for such an inexplicable reason."
"Let's wait and see," Katsura Manami lifted her head, locking eyes with Kiyoura Mai, and sparks flew between them instantly.
Meanwhile, Li Xia stood in place, utterly confused. How did things suddenly become so dramatic, and it actually looks pretty cool.
Kiyoura Mai is a very influential person. With her leading the way, the previously lifeless atmosphere vanished in no time, and everyone quickly got to work.
"Don't look at me like that," Kiyoura Mai faced Li Xia's gaze and stylishly flicked her golden short hair. "You wouldn't accept winning first place for such a ridiculous reason."
"I don't think so," Li Xia waved his hand and turned around. "I'm going home first."
"Don't go~" Kiyoura Mai's cool expression disappeared from her face in an instant. She grabbed onto his clothes and pleaded, "We're teammates, right? We've slept together before. You can't really leave me to handle everything alone."
"Please, watch fewer anime in your free time," Li Xia brushed off her fingers. "I won't do something that has no benefits."
"It's delicious, it exists, it's really big!" Kiyoura Mai clenched her teeth and hesitated for a moment before making up her mind. "Help me this time, and I can be your girlfriend for a month."
"I have no interest in women who want to date but are afraid of pain," Li Xia continued turning around.
"Because I once lost to someone because of something like this," Kiyoura Mai blocked Li Xia's path and her expression finally changed. "I understand that feeling, when you've put in more effort than anyone else, but fail because of unexpected circumstances. I want to win, I want to win honorably, I don't want to have any regrets."
Kiyoura Mai took a deep breath and looked into his eyes, speaking with deep emotion, "Can you help me?"
Li Xia also looked at her, and for a moment, the scene felt somewhat awkward as the two locked eyes for ten seconds.
"You'll take care of my assignments for this semester."
"Deal."
With Li Xia's help, Akane naturally came over as well. She always seemed full of energy and never cared whether she was helping or not, always doing what she wanted.
With Akane joining in, Katsura Manami's script revisions progressed quickly, taking only a few hours to complete.
Originally, the character played by Shikato Ichiro, the craftsman, was killed by a car when he went out, and after his body was burned, his ashes fell to the ground due to the urn not being held securely. Then, a gust of wind blew, scattering the ashes in the air.
As Li Xia, playing the craftsman, watched the ashes flying in the sky, he silently vowed to fulfill his unfinished wishes.
After this round of revisions, the original plot gained a touch of sadness.
Li Xia's performance as the craftsman was even better than Shikato Ichiro, not because of his acting skills, but because he was handsome, making it easier for people to empathize.
The team had already worked well together, and this time everything happened very quickly as usual. Kiyoura Mai and Katsura Manami, the two editing queens, worked together, and the editing and music were finished in just one day.
On the day before the deadline, Katsura Manami's group finished their task early.
Komachi Kurenai noticed everything.
"Captain... the situation seems different from what we expected," Komachi Kurenai said cautiously while looking at Kirigiri Shimizu, not even daring to raise her head.
They managed to involve Shikato Ichiro, thinking it was an impossible task, but Li Xia gave them a heavy betrayal, causing the plan to fail and the performance to be even better than before.
And these emails were sent to Mizusawa Ryo, who became very cautious after being deceived by Kirigiri Shimizu's Tyrant's Eye once, and wouldn't give away anything without full confidence.
"If my child doesn't come first, I'll ruin the selection scene," Kirigiri Shimizu said in a cold voice, without any emotion, as if it were a trivial matter.
The system's task is to make Li Xia's group come in first. If they don't come in first this time, then it does count as a mission failure.
As for Li Xia, after finishing everything, he finally returned to his own apartment. Although he didn't leave for long, it felt like he had been away for a long time.
"Welcome back," Fujino knelt at the entrance, hands on her thighs, smiling at Li Xia.
"Senior, what's with the outfit today, role-playing, a Japanese maid?" Li Xia looked at Fujino while taking off his shoes. After not coming back for a few days, the house was so clean that he almost couldn't believe it was his rented apartment.
"A maid? Sure~" Fujino tilted her head, opened her mouth, and stuck out her tongue: "It's my duty to manage the master's day's savings."
"Senior, I meant a proper maid." Li Xia looked at the smiling Fujino, shaking heis head. He couldn't figure out Senior at all, not knowing what she was thinking, what she wanted to do, or what she wanted.
So Li Xia recounted what had happened in the past few days to Fujino. She didn't say anything, just listened to Li Xia with a smile.
And Li Xia reached out and gently touched her black stockings. Fujino didn't mind, but instead slightly opened her legs to make it easier for his hand to move.
Monday came quickly, and Li Xia arrived at the classroom early. Only when he entered did he realize that he was actually one of the last ones to arrive. The classroom was already full of people.
"Sit here quickly," Kiyoura Mai waved to him, motioning for him to sit beside her.
