On the way back to school, neither of them spoke. Shen Yanxin was not familiar with Xia Che yet, and apart from today, she had not spoken to Xia Che once. She walked beside Xia Che with her head down, carrying her schoolbag, without saying a word.
She would steal a glance every now and then, but fearing the other person would notice, she would quickly look away.
Shen Yanxin's cheeks flushed as she wondered if her previous impressions of Xia Che had been too stereotypical.
Thinking about it carefully, Xia Che's fearsome reputation is just a rumor. Could he actually be a good person with a strong sense of justice?
Xia Che had no idea what Shen Yanxin was thinking. He held his head in his hands, walked around in a slovenly manner, and processed the memories left behind by the original owner of the body.
The amount of information to memorize is enormous; it will probably take some time before I can fully absorb it.
It is known that three of the five female protagonists are students at Weiyang No. 1 Middle School. In addition to Shen Yanxin, who is in the same grade but different class as him, there is a junior student one year below him, and another who will transfer to his class, Class 7, soon.
Shen Yanxin is alright; she takes classes in the same building as me. As long as I pay a little attention, I can completely help her avoid being taken advantage of by that scumbag.
The younger female student didn't have much screen time in the early stages of the comic, meaning that Li Junyang couldn't get close to her yet.
As for the female lead who is about to transfer to Class 7...
A pity suddenly welled up in Xia Che's eyes, and he sighed softly.
Unlike the other four, this female lead is an absolute pitiful person...
But the other party is safe until they enter Weiyang No. 1 Middle School.
The other two are characters who will appear in the later stages of the comic. We are only in the early stages now, so I don't need to worry too much.
"In other words, all we need to do in the future is to pay attention to Shen Yanxin. Hmm... it shouldn't be too difficult."
Xia Che glanced at it and pondered silently in his heart.
"Xia Che is spying on me? What's he trying to do?"
"...How come I didn't notice before? Looking at him up close, Xia Che is actually quite handsome."
"He's also brave, and I feel very safe with him..."
Shen Yanxin noticed that Xia Che was secretly watching her, and a sense of nervousness rose in her heart for no reason. She clenched her hand holding her schoolbag tightly, and her lowered face blushed unconsciously.
It turned red all the way down to her earlobes, making them shine.
"We're here. You can go in by yourself. I have something to do."
Xia Che's calm words interrupted Shen Yanxin's reverie. She looked up and realized that she had unknowingly arrived at the school gate.
"Aren't you going to class?"
Shen Yanxin asked in surprise.
"No."
Xia Che waved his hand, glanced at the school gate, raised a meaningful smile, and then turned to leave: "If you encounter trouble again in the future, you can ask me for help, but this is not a long-term solution. I suggest you rely on yourself more."
"And... it's best to stay away from him."
First, plant a seed in the female lead's heart that she must rely on herself for everything. When the seed sprouts in the future, it's only a matter of time before she shuts off all feelings and love...
Realizing there was something intriguing in Xia Che's words, Shen Yanxin seemed to sense something and looked up to find Li Junyang standing at the school gate, staring at her intently.
"Li Junyang and I are not in that kind of relationship, please don't misunderstand..."
Shen Yanxin turned around abruptly, but Xia Che was already gone. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air. She couldn't even explain why she cared so much about Xia Che's feelings.
It seemed she didn't want Xia Che to overthink things.
"Be careful, is something wrong? I waited for you at the movie theater for ages but didn't see you. Then you said you didn't want to watch a movie, so I came back first."
"Are you alright? What's wrong? Should I take you to the infirmary?"
Why aren't you saying anything?
While Shen Yanxin was still in a daze, Li Junyang had already arrived, watching the direction Xia Che had left with suspicion, and muttered, "Why is that scoundrel with you? Is it because of him?"
With concerned eyes and a gentle expression, he was exactly the kind of gentle and caring male protagonist in Japanese dramas. In the past, Shen Yanxin liked this gentleness the most.
"No, I'm just suddenly a little tired."
Shen Yanxin shook her head, her eyes filled with disappointment. She found that she no longer wanted to chat with Li Junyang and felt an emptiness in her heart.
"I'm going back to the classroom now."
"Hey! Wait for me! Watch out!"
Li Junyang frowned and glanced at it again. He let out a deep breath and cursed under his breath, "How did this kid suddenly appear there? Damn it, what a busybody..."
But there was no time to think about it, and Li Junyang hurriedly chased after Shen Yanxin in the direction she had left.
"As expected of a hypocrite who didn't give himself away until the very end of the manga... He's really good at pretending. If I stood next to him, everyone would probably think I was the bad guy, right?"
Xia Che, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinted and turned his head to look at Li Junyang, who was chasing after Shen Yanxin, before suddenly letting out a sneer.
This was the first time he had met the male protagonist, and he was indeed just like the one described in the comic.
Everything is just beginning, he's not in a hurry.
My goal is to prevent Li Junyang from succeeding and to make Shen Yanxin sever all feelings and love. This is something that cannot be rushed; it can only be done slowly.
...
Xia Che didn't shop for too long. He bought some snacks and then went straight into the internet cafe.
—You have to do things in line with your public image, right?
He's a hoodlum now. What kind of hoodlum skips class and doesn't play games?
Xia Che played games until dusk, and only then did he reluctantly leave the internet cafe.
"Yawn... Playing alone doesn't seem very fun. Hmm... I remember the original owner had several underlings. I'll invite them all to play next time."
