Xia Zhizhi was so frightened by Cui Ziqi that she took a few steps back, her pupils trembling.

She remained silent, not daring to answer.

"say."

Cui Ziqi's voice carried a hint of impatience, and her aura grew even colder.

Xia Zhizhi trembled, her voice shaking, "No...no..."

"Are you sure you don't have it, or are you lying?"

A hint of disgust flashed across Xia Zhizhi's eyes, but then tears welled up with fear.

What exactly is this madman trying to do?

[Urgent Warning! The male supporting character's descent into darkness is steadily increasing. Host, please stop his bloodlust immediately, or the male lead will be in danger!]

What, is the male lead in danger?

She was in grave danger when Cui Ziqi discovered she was impersonating his savior!

She gritted her teeth and was about to step forward.

Zheng Minghuai suddenly opened the door and came out, standing in front of Xia Zhizhi and glaring at Cui Ziqi.

"Cui Ziqi, this is a hospital. If you dare to cause trouble, I won't be polite!"

The two stood facing each other. Zheng Minghuai's innate aura of authority was not at all inferior to the murderous aura emanating from Cui Ziqi, who had long been in the shadows.

This must be the unique buff that belongs to the male protagonist in the book.

Xia Zhizhi shrank behind Zheng Minghuai and whispered a reminder to him.

"Brother Minghuai, he's a madman, be careful."

Zheng Minghuai tilted his head and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Cui Ziqi overheard their conversation.

He didn't react, still staring at the butterfly embroidery on Xia Zhizhi's shoulder, his mind a jumble of memories, one moment the red birthmark on Xia Wan's shoulder, the next the butterfly on the girl's shoulder that seemed about to take flight.

His head was throbbing with pain from the intense strain of his memories.

Under the cold light, his face grew increasingly grim, veins bulging on his forehead, and his eyes bloodshot, as if he were suppressing immense emotions.

Zheng Minghuai stared at him warily, and the bodyguards who had appeared along the corridor when Zheng Minghuai came out were now also getting restless.

[Host, you must find a way to stop the male supporting character! His level of corruption is fluctuating wildly, and his emotions are volatile. He already has a mental illness, and if this continues, he might go insane. If he goes berserk, the male lead will be the first to be operated on!]

[To prevent the world from collapsing, host, you must protect the male lead!]

"Okay, okay! I'm trying to figure something out right now."

Xia Wan hurriedly replied to the system, biting her lip as she ran to Cui Ziqi.

She was a head shorter than Cui Ziqi. She looked up and met his bloodshot eyes, and hardened her heart.

She grabbed his collar and pulled it down, then stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips hard against his cold skin.

In an instant.

The madness in Cui Ziqi's eyes turned into shock, and the earth trembled like a crack, causing the coldness on his face to crack, leaving only a blush of embarrassment.

He instinctively raised his hand to push Xia Wan away.

Xia Wan grabbed his hand, forcibly interlocked her fingers with his, closed her eyes, and bit his lips hard.

The stinging pain and the smell of blood simultaneously pierced my nerves.

Before Cui Ziqi could push her away, she let go of him first.

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'? I'll settle the score with you later!"

Xia Wan glared at him.

Seemingly startled by her assertiveness, Cui Ziqi blushed and fell into an unusual silence.

With their fingers still intertwined, Xia Wan turned and looked coldly at Zheng Minghuai.

"He's not going to cause any trouble. Tell your bodyguards to move aside."

Zheng Minghuai's face darkened the moment Xia Wan forcibly kissed Cui Ziqi.

Over the years, Xia Wan has pursued him with all her might, but she has never crossed any lines. Even when he sometimes wanted to play around with her, she refused with various excuses.

I never expected to see her kissing another man today!

He felt inexplicably angry, and his gaze towards Xia Wan was also filled with anger.

"Xia Wan, you actually kissed him?"

"I kissed my boyfriend, do you have a problem with that?"

"Don't forget, you're my fiancée now!"

Xia Wan: ?

Are you sick?

Xia Wan asked sincerely, and Xia Zhizhi, who was standing behind Zheng Minghuai, couldn't help but look up at him.

There was a hint of hurt in his eyes.

Cui Ziqi, who was initially embarrassed and angry because of the kiss, lost her blush when she heard Zheng Minghuai's words, and her eyes instantly turned fierce again.

Feeling the pressure on her hand increase, Xia Wan quickly said, "I've already clearly rejected you, why are you still clinging to me? What? You're not used to me saying I don't like you anymore? How can you be so shameless?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely sarcastic.

Zheng Minghuai almost broke down. "Uncle Xia has already agreed to the marriage between our two families. Our marriage is a done deal! Do you want to disobey your father's orders?"

Xia Wanzhen couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You're really all talk and no action. You think you're the boss? I get to decide who I marry! Besides, I've severed my father-daughter relationship with Xia Huaidong. The marriage between the Xia and Zheng families should be between you and Xia Zhizhi."

Zheng Minghuai wanted to refute, but the words wouldn't come out.

After all, he did have feelings for Xia Zhizhi.

Xia Zhizhi, unusually, did not jump out from behind Zheng Minghuai to refute him.

Xia Wan knew that she had made her decision.

If the main storyline continues and the romance between the male and female leads develops steadily, then the world in the book will be relatively stable.

This is exactly what Xia Wan wanted.

After a brief silence, Cui Ziqi released Xia Wan's hand, stepped forward, and put his arm around her waist.

The chill emanating from his dark eyes fell directly on Zheng Minghuai. He said disdainfully, "If you're sick, go get treatment. My girlfriend isn't a veterinarian. Stop bothering her in the future."

Xia Wan's eyes lit up, but before she could react, Cui Ziqi pulled her away from the hospital.
