After all, what kind of good person would go against the male protagonist in a comic book?

Aren't all those who dare to do this villains?

"Oh right! I almost forgot... there's one more thing!"

Even though Shen Yanxin's figure had already disappeared around the corner, she suddenly poked her little head out and looked at Xia Che expectantly.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Che came to his senses, his eyes looking somewhat puzzled.

"You still haven't said whether the coat I washed for you smells nice."

Shen Yanxin blinked, mustered her courage, and asked blushingly, "I washed it several times..."

"Hmm...you mean this?"

Xia Che glanced at the bag he was carrying, smiled, waved it, and said, "It smells great, thank you."

"Hehe, see you after school!"

Shen Yanxin nodded with satisfaction, and then a graceful figure disappeared around the corner once again, like a butterfly.

"What's the use of fragrance? I'll still end up using it as a rag. I just don't understand what women are thinking..."

Xia Che scratched the back of his head, still feeling somewhat confused.

Shen Yanxin's family background is not bad; she can be described as a "rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned" woman. Why would she care about such a cheap item from a street stall?

This jacket is really cheap. Xia Che bought it casually at a street stall to save time. The quality isn't good either; the fabric looks cheap.

What good is it if such a poorly made product smells amazing after washing?

I just don't understand women's thought processes...

"Fine, I've already made up my mind. Whether it's for the sake of the five poor female leads or to be able to return to the real world smoothly, I have to be the villain."

"Then let me see your trap."

"You want to be Xiang Yu, but I might just be Liu Bang!"

Xia Che waved his hand and turned to walk back to the classroom.

Throughout, a cold smile remained on his lips.

A confident sneer.

...

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Shen Yanxin was in a great mood, seemingly radiating sunshine. On her way back to the classroom, she would wave and greet every classmate she saw with a smile. The girls were fine with it, but few of the boys could resist Shen Yanxin's charm.

The group of male students blushed and tried to deal with the situation, but were left feeling completely bewildered.

Is this... is this still the aloof and icy Shen Yanxin?

Who turned their goddess into this?!

"Hello!"

Just as Shen Yanxin was passing through a corridor, she was suddenly stopped by a fierce voice. Immediately afterwards, a hand was put on her shoulder and pulled her deeper into the corridor.

"who?!"

Shen Yanxin was startled. Unpleasant memories of being blocked by the purple-haired delinquent girl flooded her mind. When she turned around, she saw that it was her best friend, Mu Yingying. She breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to hit her: "Are you trying to kill me? Why did you scare me?"

"Silent words and a tranquil heart!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Yingying was not buying Shen Yanxin's act at all. She stared at her with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Shen Yanxin's raised hand froze in mid-air. She and Mu Yingying were very close friends, so she could tell at a glance that the other party seemed to be angry.

but……

Why?

Have I offended Mu Yingying recently?

No, we went to the convenience store together this morning...

"Tell me, did you just go to see Xia Che? And did you even give him a gift?"

Mu Yingying took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and forced herself to say, "Don't deny it, I've been following you the whole time. You even asked Xia Che to have dinner with you tonight, didn't you?"

"Uh...yes."

Shen Yan thought for a moment. Apart from giving a gift, everything else was right. The coat originally belonged to Xia Che. She had only washed it. How could it be considered a gift? She was about to explain when she saw Mu Yingying's face darken even more.

"Shen Yanxin, I used to think you were just a bit naive and didn't value relationships, but you were still a sincere person. I never expected you could do something like this!"

Mu Yingying's expression was seven parts anger and three parts sadness. "You were faking it all before, weren't you?"

"..."

Shen Yanxin was completely stunned.

who is she?

Where is she?

What on earth is this person saying??

"I really never expected that the person who could do these things would be my best friend, my dearest confidante!"

As Mu Yingying spoke, her eyes gradually reddened. "How...how could you do this?"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Shen Yanxin covered Mu Yingying's mouth with her hand. The other girl tried to say something but kept making muffled noises. Shen Yanxin used her other hand to put a finger to her lips and shushed her. "Shut up and listen to me first."

"First of all, I don't know what you've misunderstood, but you definitely have."

"I'll take my hand away in a bit. Explain your misunderstanding about me clearly, and stop playing games, okay?"

"Because I'm really a bit confused right now, I don't understand what you're saying. Do you understand? If you understand, nod."

Mu Yingying sobbed and nodded.

His eyes were filled with resentment, and he kept glancing at the hand covering his mouth, as if he really wanted to take a bite.

"Alright, go ahead and say it."

Shen Yanxin released her grip, took a few steps back, and crossed her arms.

She wanted to hear what heinous things she had done to make Mu Yingying so angry.

I didn't do anything, did I?

"Tell me the truth, did you cheat on me?"

Mu Yingying blinked, and her words were a bombshell.

Shen Yanxin was stunned. This royal flush seemed to have formed an invisible bomb, blasting her to pieces.

"I knew it... Watch out, I always thought you wouldn't become this kind of scumbag, you've changed!"

Mu Yingying's eyes reddened even more.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment and frustration, and even more so with self-reproach, regretting why she hadn't noticed this sign sooner.

Now, her best friend has cheated on her right under her nose, which makes Mu Yingying extremely sad.

"How is that possible?! What are you talking about?"

After realizing what had happened, Shen Yanxin's face flushed red instantly. She was both angry and anxious, and her flailing arms and legs made her look like a boiled shrimp. "How could I...cheate? I don't even have a boyfriend, how could I cheat?"

"You still won't admit it? I saw it with my own eyes!"

"When we went to the convenience store this morning, Li Junyang chatted with you, right? He came specifically for you, right? You've been in a bad mood these past few days because of him, right?"

"Your mood improved after talking to him, right?"

Mu Yingying's mouth rattled off like a machine gun, spewing out a torrent of words: "But you actually turned around and went to find Xia Che? I've always teased you about him, but I never expected that you actually had feelings for him?"
