Looking at the two people in front of him who were not a couple but seemed more like one, Li Junyang's face turned ashen.
In an instant, the killing intent towards Xia Che erupted like a geyser, spreading throughout Li Junyang's chest and gradually solidifying into a tangible form.
The treatment Xia Che is enjoying now should rightfully belong to him!
"If it weren't for this blond bastard, I should have been the one playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress. I arranged it twice, but this good-for-nothing got away with it both times. How dare you... how dare you!"
Li Junyang clenched his fists, and the backs of his fair hands gradually turned blood red due to the congestion.
He had his eye on Shen Yanxin for a long time. Ever since he saw Shen Yanxin as the host at the opening ceremony of the first year of high school, the stunning beauty she gave him made Li Junyang secretly determined to get this woman.
No matter how much time it takes, I must have her!
But this woman was very wary. Li Junyang used all his skills and barely managed to gain Shen Yanxin's trust and become her good friend.
It took Li Junyang more than two years to achieve this.
He is a very patient hunter; he is willing to lie in wait for as long as he can achieve his ultimate goal.
Shen Yanxin was the prey he had set his sights on.
But just when he was about to capture his prey, Xia Che suddenly appeared and interfered, ruining the two opportunities that he had been waiting for for more than two years.
Why should all my efforts be wasted on Xia Che?
Where did this piece of trash even come from?!
"For the first time... I've ever wanted to kill someone so much."
Li Junyang took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He felt his temples throbbing and could even hear his heart pounding like a drum due to his anger.
He knew that those who accomplish great things must always maintain a calm mind and be able to endure hardship.
This is something his father taught him from a young age, which is why Li Junyang is able to possess a level of cunning that his peers don't have at this age.
But now, Li Junyang felt that he was on the verge of breaking down, a situation he had never experienced before.
The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and he was about to flip the table.
"Gun race, gull race?"
"Are you alright? You look terrible."
"Want to try this? It looks delicious."
Li Junyang, who had temporarily lost his hearing due to anger, was gradually brought back to reality by Mu Yingying's light and melodious voice.
He turned his head and saw Mu Yingying place a delicate pastry on his plate, her big eyes staring at him intently.
"A herd?"
Mu Yingying called out again.
"...I'm fine."
Li Junyang quietly looked at Mu Yingying, a strange glint suddenly appearing in his eyes, and a bizarre thought arose in his mind.
Mu Yingying? How come I never noticed before? She's quite pretty...
Under the warm yet bright lights, Mu Yingying's beautiful features were highlighted with a gentle glow, and her eyes shone like stars. At this moment, Li Junyang suddenly realized that Mu Yingying's beauty was not much inferior to Shen Yanxin's.
It was only because Shen Yanxin was too dazzling, and Mu Yingying was willing to be just a supporting character by Shen Yanxin's side, that Shen Yanxin's brilliance overshadowed Mu Yingying, making Li Junyang only now discover the shining points in Mu Yingying.
"If we can't win over Shen Yanxin for the time being, starting with Mu Yingying seems like a good idea?"
Suddenly, this idea popped into Li Junyang's mind as if by some strange twist of fate.
Having seen countless women, he could tell at a glance that Mu Yingying clearly had other feelings for him.
"Moreover, I can win over Mu Yingying without giving up on Shen Yanxin. Just based on her feelings for me, I can use her to win over Shen Yanxin... Who says I can't enjoy the bliss of having two women at once?"
Li Junyang's eyes gleamed.
It is well known that women are most susceptible to pillow talk. They find it difficult to make decisions on a matter. If Mu Yingying could whisper in Shen Yanxin's ear, then the originally indecisive Shen Yanxin would have a high probability of listening to her and falling into her hands!
"It's delicious."
Li Junyang had many ideas, but his mind worked just as fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already made a decision. He reached out and put the pastry that Mu Yingying had given him into his mouth. After chewing it, his eyebrows twitched slightly: "As expected of your taste."
The biggest hypocrite in the later stages of the comic seems to have taken shape at this moment. Li Junyang, who was trembling with anger just now, seems to have changed his face and is smiling gently, showing no sign of breaking down.
"I'm glad you like it."
Mu Yingying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her smile became even brighter.
Neither Shen Yanxin nor Mu Yingying noticed Li Junyang's unusual behavior. Among the people at the table, only Xia Che, who had been secretly observing Li Junyang, noticed it.
He took a sip of his drink and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Li Junyang.
A cold glint seemed to flash within it.
A sudden wave of regret washed over Xia Che.
I shouldn't have pushed Li Junyang too hard.
According to the original plan, Xia Che would deliberately provoke Li Junyang to reveal a flaw, and then let Shen Yanxin see Li Junyang's unknown side with her own eyes, and then completely sever this emotional connection.
In this way, one of the five female protagonist storylines can be freed up first.
Because of Chu Yuying and Li Junyang's encounter, although it was late, they will still get to know each other according to the original story.
The male and female protagonists are destined to meet; this is something that cannot be avoided or changed.
He could only find an opportunity to make the female lead see Li Junyang's true colors.
This matter put a lot of pressure on Xia Che. He wanted to quickly cut off one of the female protagonist's storylines so that he could free up his hands to deal with Chu Yuying's storyline.
But now, Xia Che realizes that he has made a mistake in his overall direction.
He pushed Li Junyang too far.
The way this hypocrite looked at Mu Yingying at that moment was as if he were looking at prey.
He was watching a prey that had already fallen into his trap, unable to escape, and could only beg for mercy with its belly exposed.
"Mu Yingying..."
Xia Che had a good impression of this girl, and knew that if she fell into Li Junyang's hands, then endless hell would await her.
Although Mu Yingying is not the female lead, even if she is just a supporting character with few scenes, does she deserve to suffer all this?
That's all...
Xia Che let out a long breath, his mind made up, and a resolute look appeared deep in his eyes.
Since saving one person is the same as saving another, one of them is destined to lose completely between him and Li Junyang. Now that they have determined that the other is the enemy, they must kill the other at all costs.
He wants to save Mu Yingying too!
Before Xia Che could finish his thought, Li Junyang had already composed himself, picked up the fine wine Liu Bing had arranged, filled the glass in front of him, raised it, and smiled broadly: "Have you all eaten enough? Well then, it's time to get to today's topic."
"Xia Che, I want to apologize to you."
