Chapter 212 Chen Lin is just a puppet, the real manipulator behind the scenes is it

After walking for a long time, Lin Yuan slowly asked: "Where are you taking me?"

"You remember to ask now?" The boy's voice was like a voice changer, a little hoarse but not unpleasant. Instead, it had a tingling and numb feeling that hooked around the eardrums.

She nestled in the boy's arms, knowing full well that she shouldn't let down her guard and follow him. The words "let me go" came to her lips but disappeared on the tip of her tongue. She was relying on the warmth of this embrace.

The warmth in this man's embrace made her feel familiar after a long time.

Familiar... She didn't remember knowing the boy in front of her. His face alone was memorable enough, so if she had seen him before, there was no reason for her not to remember him. But why didn't she remember him? Lin Yuan frowned.

She always felt that important things and important people were being erased from her mind, and they were being erased very quickly. She didn't know if it was an illusion!

"So where are you taking me?"

"Sold it." Gu Yanli chuckled.

He lowered his eyes and saw that the girl in his arms did not show any fear. Instead, her clear eyes looked straight at him, "Aren't you afraid? I'm not a good person."

"What's so scary about it? Is there anything worse than being penniless and unable to even afford to eat? It would be better if I were sold, but sell me at a lower price, so that at least I can have a full meal." Lin Yuan seemed nonchalant.

"good."

Hearing the man's answer, Lin Yuan just raised his eyebrows slightly.

She was very tired. In this familiar yet strange world, she did not find any familiar girlfriends. Instead, she had relatives whom she did not want to see and whom she hated to the core. Even the Lotus Village where her grandmother was buried was gone. She did not know what was going on. She was always calm, but at this moment, she was not calm at all. She was only terrified.

She was afraid to stay here. She wanted to go back. She wanted to go back. She wanted to... go back? Lin Yuan blinked blankly. Where was she going to go back to?

Why do I feel this strongly?

Lin Yuan was exhausted.

She herself didn't know how she fell asleep in the boy's arms, and naturally she didn't see how distressed the boy looked at her.

Fortunately, he found her.

He had always been wondering why Lin Yuan and Fang Hui appeared in their world, why they cared so much about Chen Lin, and almost anything related to Chen Lin could stir up their emotions.

It's a precaution.

Just like a hedgehog, when it encounters danger, it instinctively rolls itself up with its spines.

He could imagine that Chen Lin was a danger to Lin Yuan and Fang Hui, and that the danger was life-threatening. There were also those unfamiliar memories in his head. All of these pointed to Chen Lin. He was not a man who would sit and wait for death, especially when it came to Lin Yuan's matter.

So he left the hospital and found Chen Lin again.

Chen Lin really couldn't stand being frightened, but after a little threatening, she told him all the things he didn't know. Then he realized that he was the protagonist of a book. No, it should be said that all the men in this book are the protagonists, regardless of who is first or last, and they all serve one person.

The heroine is Chen Lin.

They were obsessed with Chen Lin and regarded her as the queen in their hands. They used all available resources to make Chen Lin successful. In the end, they even competed with other men just to win Chen Lin's favor, and even did not hesitate to hurt the innocent Lin Yuan and Fang Hui.

Treating Lin Yuan and Fang Hui like that, no wonder Lin Yuan always looked at him with a distant look that showed a lack of full trust from the beginning. She was immersed in love with him, but was sober enough that as soon as something happened, she would immediately withdraw without any hesitation.

Gu Yanli's eyes were fixed on the person in his arms, like Chen Lin's words, saying that they admired and were obsessed with her personal charm.

He was more inclined to believe that Chen Lin was also a puppet.

A puppet of the system in her mouth.

The system controls all of them and enjoys the feeling of control. It is like God and can decide the direction of a person's life at any time.

It holds the view that those who follow it will prosper, while those who go against it will perish.

Lin Yuan and Fang Hui were two accidents that were beyond his control, so after Chen Lin failed again and again, he started to take action.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanli still felt a lingering fear.

He held the girl in his arms, his arms gradually tightening.

"Hmm... Le..." Lin Yuan mumbled in a half-asleep state, but habitually nudged his head in his arms, and the slender arms wrapped around his waist and hugged him.

Feeling her softness again, and her coquettish tone, Gu Yanli's eyes became hot and he lowered his eyes slightly.

He threatened the system with suicide.

Chen Lin thought he was really crazy. The system disappeared when the world was reopened. There was no system at all.

But he didn't believe it. He knew the system was still there. It was watching everything like a God. Whenever he was not satisfied with something, he would teach the person who ruined his plan a small lesson and once again enjoy the pleasure of God crushing an ant.

He didn't know if his threats would work, but he could only try.

If this is a book as Chen Lin said, and he is a very important protagonist in the book, then if he, the protagonist, dies, will the book collapse? He can only gamble with this idea in mind.

Fortunately, he won the bet!

The system appeared and said that it had no way to bring Lin Yuan back because Lin Yuan had entered her nightmare, a world he could not intervene in. All the system could do was to send him over, but as he entered this world, all memories of the book world in Lin Yuan's mind would be erased, just like an eraser erasing all traces.

He didn't care that Lin Yuan forgot him, he only cared that he couldn't hold her hand when Lin Yuan needed him.

"Yuanyuan, don't be afraid. I'm here."

He looked at the girl's furrowed brows, then leaned over and gave her a light kiss on the corner of her lips.

*

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The loudspeaker of the school next door sounded on time. The familiar music almost made her instinctively jump up from the bed. Her body woke up instinctively, but her brain was not. She sat on the bed with her head drooping and her eyes closed for three minutes before she slowly opened her eyes. She raised her head and the pair of eyes that had just woken up were dazed. She stared at the door in a daze.

Where is this?

Didn’t she go to look for Lotus Township yesterday, and then... oh, she met a good-looking boy who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

She was carried away by the young man, and then... she fell asleep in someone else's arms.

In an instant, Lin Yuan's pupils contracted and she looked to her side. Fortunately, there was no one lying next to her, otherwise, what could she...what could she do?

She was picked up by this man, and he kindly took her in for a night. No matter what, she should be grateful.

In fact, think about it, even if she was lying on her side with the boy from last night, she would not suffer any loss. Last night, she could feel the surging abdominal muscles under the clothes just through the clothes. She passed by a store selling magazines and always liked to read comics. She didn't really like anything when reading comics, she just wanted to see the characters with abdominal muscles in them.

That’s right, she loves abs!

As she thought so, she looked around the room. The bedroom was much larger than the rental house she and Fang Hui lived in, and it also had a separate bathroom. In her eyes, it was a mansion. If Fang Hui lived here, she would surely be delighted.

By the way, where did that girl Fang Hui go?

Lin Yuan paused as she held the curtain. Why couldn’t she remember where her best friend had gone?

With a "rustle", the curtains opened.

There was a sliding door in front of her, and outside the door was a balcony. The young man was standing on the balcony. He was still wearing the black sweatshirt he wore last night, and his back was facing her.

Lin Yuan opened the sliding door.

Hearing a voice behind her, the person with his back to her turned around. It was broad daylight now, and Lin Yuan could clearly see his eyes. They were very deep, and not at all the clearness that belonged to a person of his age. She just felt that the way he looked at her... contained too many emotions.

She paused for a moment before walking over again and stretched out her hand in front of the boy.

Gu Yanli lowered his eyes and looked at the slender white hand in front of him.

"What shall I give you?"

"Money." Lin Yuan seemed to say it naturally, but her red ears betrayed her already. She had never asked anyone for money in her life.

But she was really penniless now, and she couldn't move without money. She also had to ask the Lin family where Fang Hui had gone!

Seeing that the boy didn't answer, Lin Yuan thought he was afraid that she wouldn't pay it back, so she pursed her lips and said, "I won't lend you a lot, five hundred is enough, I can write you an IOU."
