Ye Lin was very happy and excited. It turned out that Xu Nian didn't dislike or resist him. He had been overthinking things.

"My lady, I'm so happy." Ye Lin rested his head on Xu Nian's neck, his excitement making him want to hug Xu Nian and laugh heartily.

Considering his neighbor, Mr. Xu, he didn't dare to take any action.

After cuddling with the person for a moment, Ye Lin still led them out of the Xu family's house.

Familiar silk, familiar darkness, familiar room, familiar repeating the same mistakes.

"No! I don't want it anymore," Xu Nian protested, crying.

"Poor little thing, just bear with it a little longer," Ye Lin coaxed until he was satisfied.

...

"Niannian, you'd better marry me soon, otherwise we'll have to sneak around like this every day," Ye Lin sighed wistfully.

"I will work hard and try to marry you this year." Xu Nian wanted to coax Ye Lin, and sweet words came out of her mouth without hesitation.

"My lady, you're being so obedient today, is there some other purpose behind it?" Ye Lin was happy with Xu Nian's change, but having grown up in the deep palace, he understood even better that there was no kindness without a reason, and no change for the better without a reason.

Seeing that Ye Lin was so sensitive, Xu Nian didn't hide anything and directly recounted what had happened when Yu Hao came to see her today.

She also expressed her desire to change Yu Hao.

"My lady, are you really willing to hand Yu Hao over to me? Aren't you afraid I'll kill him?" Ye Lin looked at Xu Nian with a half-smile.

"You won't. As long as he's alive, you can do whatever you want with him," Xu Nian said casually.

“Since Niannian has said so, then leave Yu Hao’s matter to me!” Ye Lin’s lips curled into a sweet smile.

Xu Nian's indifference towards Hao filled him with joy.

Therefore, he would not kill Yu Hao.

Niannian also asked him to teach Yu Hao, so he would definitely teach him well and make sure Yu Hao becomes a well-behaved and obedient person.

Ye Lin revealed a sinister smile from the shadows.

Having successfully thrown Yu Hao out, Xu Nian smiled broadly.

The mission was to have her save Yu Hao, but it didn't specify what kind of rescue.

As long as he is kept away from the original female lead and doesn't die in despair, isn't that a form of salvation?

the next day.

When Xu Nian went to school, she deliberately passed by the house and found it empty; no one from the family was there.

Wow! Ye Lin's efficiency is truly remarkable.

Entering the classroom in high spirits, Xu Nian took her seat and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Who is this woman who is trying so hard to talk to Zhao Xian?

The quirky woman seized the opportunity to approach Zhao Xian, who impatiently dodged away.

For some reason, Zhao Xian did not mock the woman, but instead watched her performance coldly.

Yes, in Xu Nian's view, Zhao Xian's gaze toward the woman was mocking and sarcastic, as if she were looking at a clown.

The woman seemed oblivious, continuing to talk enthusiastically about various things.

Zhao Xian, who was getting impatient, noticed Xu Nian's arrival and immediately went up to her to complain, "Why are you so late?"

"Stop, do I know you that well?" Xu Nian held up the book between the two of them, blocking Zhao Xian's outstretched hand.

"Xu Nian, it's your turn to help me." Zhao Xian gestured with her eyes.

Xu Nian's gaze fell on the woman, then turned to Zhao Xian, wondering what he was up to.

He could have simply ignored the woman if he didn't want to, but what was the point of his dangling attitude?

Just as Xu Nian was deep in thought, a voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"System, as soon as the original female lead appeared, Zhao Xian abandoned me and rushed to her side. How am I supposed to win over Zhao Xian?" The woman's charming voice was full of complaints.

"Host, you must be brave and go for it. You're a transmigrator, are you afraid of not being able to defeat a native?" The mechanical voice, devoid of emotion, offered routine reassurance.

"System, you're right. The original female lead was a native. I can easily defeat her by reciting a single line of poetry." The charming female voice was full of pride.

As the voice faded, Xu Nian also felt a hostile gaze.

That was the woman who had spoken to Zhao Xian earlier.

Is she Qu Nuannuan, the original female lead in the story?

Is the "original female lead, indigenous person" she mentioned referring to her?

Instantly, Xu Nian's expression turned strange.

The plot she watched didn't introduce the original owner of the body; it only focused on how the female protagonist, Qu Nuannuan, won over various handsome men, ascended to the throne of empress, and embarked on the path to unifying the world.

So, in Qu Nuannuan's storyline, Xu Nian is actually the female protagonist who gets a comeback.

In Qu Nuannuan's storyline, what is the relationship between Zhao Xian, Yu Hao, and the other men who were "conquered" with her?

A bead of cold sweat slid down Xu Nian's forehead.

Zhao Xian kept a close eye on Xu Nian's changing expressions. Noticing her strange expression, she guessed that Xu Nian, like herself, could hear Qu Nuannuan's inner thoughts.

"Xu Nian, did you hear that too?" Zhao Xian whispered to Xu Nian with her back to Qu Nuannuan.

"Also?" Xu Nian's expression became even stranger; the word "also" was incredibly evocative.

It seems that Zhao Xian could also hear Qu Nuannuan's inner thoughts.

No wonder he was impatient with dealing with Qu Nuannuan, but didn't say anything to mock her; this is the reason.

"Xu Nian, do you know what a strategy is?" Zhao Xian disliked the way Qu Nuannuan looked at him; she wasn't looking at a person, but at an object.

"I don't know," Xu Nian said, shaking her head.

Qu Nuannuan has a system, but she doesn't know how powerful it is.

It's hard to say whether Qu Nuannuan's system might overhear her conversation with Zhao Xian.

"Ah! System, Zhao Xian's favorability towards me has dropped again, it's already negative fifty. Can I really win him over?" Qu Nuannuan's scream rang out again in Xu Nian and Zhao Xian's minds.

"Host, Zhao Xian's favorability towards all women is negative. Even towards the original female lead, Xu Nian, Zhao Xian's favorability towards her is only forty points," the cold, mechanical voice comforted.

"Zhao Xian is so difficult to deal with!" Qu Nuannuan continued to complain.

"That's why we need you, host, to win him over!"

"..."

"..."

The system and the person talked for a long time, but it was nothing more than Qu Nuannuan complaining and the system comforting her.

Listening to the voice in her mind, Xu Nian looked at Zhao Xian with suspicion. How could she not see that this guy had a 40-point favorability rating towards her!

"Xu Nian, what are you looking at? Do you want to get beaten up?" Zhao Xian's face was very sour. He didn't quite understand what the system said, but he understood one thing.

It says he has feelings for Xu Nian.

Are you kidding me?

Would he have feelings for Xu Nian, who is even more delicate than him?

Zhao Xian didn't want to believe it, but her mind kept replaying the scenes of the two of them together.

The more he thought about it, the uglier his expression became; he seemed to treat her differently indeed.

Could he really fall for a woman who is even more delicate than himself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xian's gaze fell on Xu Nian, and when he saw the newly added crimson on her neck, his thoughts instantly turned cold.

She's a fickle woman; there's absolutely no way he could fall for her.
