Chapter 40 Hidden Settings in the Comic Book World



"who?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Che turned around abruptly, his face instantly darkening.

Chu Yuying was startled. The piece of apple she was about to put in her mouth trembled and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?! You suddenly became so fierce, you scared me to death."

After Chu Yuying realized what had happened, she looked at the apple that had fallen on the ground with a pang of heartache. She was a very frugal person, and the waste of food was breaking her heart.

Yu Shiyue was also startled; this was the first time she had ever seen Xia Che angry.

Although Xia Che looked fierce before, he always spoke in a lazy tone, as if he didn't care about anything. But now Xia Che is angry.

Yu Shiyue blinked, and a strange thought suddenly came to her mind: perhaps it was this kind of imposing presence without anger that was more in line with Xia Che's character?

Chu Yuying and Yu Shiyue exchanged a glance, swallowed hard, and a hint of fear flickered in their beautiful eyes.

Although Chu Yuying always joked with Xia Che, Xia Che had never been angry before. Today was the first time, and it was also the time that scared her the most.

"The person who brought you back... his name is Li Junyang?"

Xia Che closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and his complexion eased slightly. Although it was still somewhat dark, at least it was no longer distorted.

"Yeah, we're in the same year as you, also seniors."

Chu Yuying pouted, feeling a little wronged: "I don't understand you... why are you suddenly so angry? I didn't do anything..."

Chu Yuying felt incredibly wronged. She had been scolded for no reason, and she swore she really wanted to take the crystal ball out of her pocket and smash it hard on Xia Che's forehead.

Smash it until it becomes a unicorn!

The thought of Xia Che's forehead swelling up like a unicorn's horn made Chu Yuying's lips unconsciously curl into a smile.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night, I scared you."

Xia Che was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm going to rest for a bit. If you're hungry, just order takeout. There's a restaurant's phone number on the fridge magnet. You can just order from there. I topped up my card there."

After saying that, Xia Che nodded apologetically to Yu Shiyue, then hurriedly went into his room and closed the door.

It was even locked.

"Hey, what's wrong, you little blondie?"

With Xia Che absent, Chu Yuying no longer needed to pretend it was her first time meeting Yu Shiyue. Holding a piece of apple, she looked at the other woman and asked in confusion.

"I don't know either, but he looked really bad just now, he probably didn't get enough rest."

Yu Shiyue shrugged.

"Oh... I didn't expect you to look so good in women's clothing."

Chu Yuying's thinking is very unconventional. She won't dwell on things she can't understand. She chuckled and moved closer to Yu Shiyue, reaching out to hug her waist: "So thin, so thin, so smooth."

"Get lost, you scoundrel!"

"Sister smells so good! Sister, please don't! Let me see your feet again! Step on me! Sister..."

"Go to hell!"

...

After closing the door, Xia Che's face was ashen.

He lost his composure because he realized a possibility.

A very reasonable possibility that I had previously overlooked.

That is: even if I intervene and get to know the female lead before Li Junyang, it will not change the female lead's predetermined fate.

Like an invisible thread, it firmly binds Li Junyang and the female protagonists together.

The other party will still get to know Li Junyang through various unexpected events.

In this way, his previous plan, which was to get to know the female lead before Li Junyang and then make sure that the female lead never had any contact with Li Junyang again, was really naive and ridiculous.

How could one person possibly sever the connection between the male and female protagonists?

"Phew... I underestimated Li Junyang. No... not just him, I underestimated the whole world."

Xia Che sat on the bed, gazing at the scenery of Jiang City outside the window, and gently let out a long breath.

I shouldn't have stopped the female lead from getting to know Li Junyang in the first place.

Looking back now, I realize I was too impulsive last night. If Chu Yuying had been more headstrong, if Li Junyang had only been a little late and hadn't failed to show up...

In that case, not only would I not become friends with Chu Yuying, but I would become her enemy.

Wouldn't doing that be pushing Chu Yuying towards Li Junyang?

"That was close..."

Xia Che felt a little scared.

This served as a wake-up call for me.

You can rely on luck once or twice, but what about the third time?

The only way for Xia Che to return to the present world is to make all the female protagonists see Li Junyang's true colors as a scumbag, without missing a single one.

If even one of the female protagonists falls for Li Junyang's tricks, then...

I will stay in this world for the rest of my life and will never be able to go back.

"We can't take such risks again."

Xia Che let out a long sigh of relief. Moreover, he couldn't stop the female lead from getting to know Li Junyang. It was better to guide than to block; otherwise, it would have the opposite effect.

Li Junyang is, after all, the protagonist of this world.

My only advantage right now is that I've read the original work and know how the plot will develop.

The enemy is in the open, while we are in the dark.

There are many ways to win.

...

Jiang City, Weiyang No.1 Middle School.

"I've already graduated from university, yet I have the chance to go back to high school. Damn, this feeling is really strange..."

Xia Che stood at the school gate, touched his nose, looked up at the school sign of Weiyang No.1 Middle School, and had a strange expression.

This is a rare experience that most people will likely never have again.

"Alright, let's stick to the plan and deal with whatever comes our way."

Xia Che put his hands in his pockets and stepped into the school gate.

He soon realized how much attention he attracted during his school years as a relatively well-known troublemaker.

Xia Che didn't carry a backpack. He had initially wanted to, but his long-standing habit of keeping a low profile made him not want to attract too much attention. However, the habits left behind by the original owner of the body wouldn't tolerate him.

There is no schoolbag at home.

Xia Che searched for half an hour but couldn't find it. He didn't even have a textbook, let alone a schoolbag.

In his anxiety, Xia Che scratched his head and had no choice but to borrow a pen from Chu Yuying.

The other person still seemed to be brooding over the incident at noon, giving me a disdainful look every now and then, and even leaving for school ahead of me instead of going with me.

"I'll apologize to her again when I get home tonight."

Xia Che touched his nose and gave a bitter smile.

As he entered the campus, the gazes of the other students who were also there for class immediately met his.

These gazes contained admiration, fear, and reverence.

Sure enough, during student days, being a delinquent is the easiest way to become the center of attention.
