Wan Ge quietly watched the boy on the basketball court, watching him effortlessly shoot a three-pointer. Even though he wasn't the only one on the court, he shone so brightly that everyone else paled in comparison.
Aside from playing basketball at this moment, he first went to the library to study in the morning, then went to the music room to practice the piano, then went to paint in the afternoon, and finally came to the sports field.
And he is Shi Churan, the villain of this world, a gentle, sunny, and academically excellent boy who is the perfect child that everyone else admires.
He comes from an extremely privileged background, and his height and looks could easily surpass many top male celebrities. In other people's eyes, he is exceptionally good; besides these qualities, he also has a lot of friends and seems to have a good relationship with everyone.
However, this seemingly perfect boy is actually an extremely withdrawn person in private. On the surface, he only has nodding acquaintances with all his friends. He seems to greet anyone he meets and will help anyone who asks for his help, but he never takes the initiative to contact anyone in private.
His only friend, who was also his childhood friend, was the female protagonist of this world. Because their families lived close by and their parents had a good relationship, the female protagonist became the villain's only friend.
However, the female lead later falls in love with the male lead, and seems to realize that her only friend is also going to be taken away. This causes the boy, who has been suffering from mental illness since childhood, to completely explode.
Shi Churan never wanted to be a perfect person, but in his memory, both his father and mother were extremely outstanding people. So from a young age, he hoped to be a perfect person, not to embarrass his parents, and even more so, not to disappoint them.
Beneath his impeccably perfect exterior lies a sensitive and fragile heart, seemingly unaware of what emotions are.
In his eyes, he was just a perfect role model who had been cultivated, and he felt like he had always been a single person.
Shi Churan has just started university, and the male and female leads haven't met yet. Wan Ge could approach the minor villain now, become his friend, and then when the female lead starts dating, he wouldn't go to extremes out of fear of losing his only friend.
More importantly, when Wan Ge approached him in the morning, she could feel a familiar sensation—her own mark. Originally, she marked him when she left the last world, just so that she could find him more easily in the smaller worlds later. She never expected to see him again so soon, and that he would once again become her mission target.
After the competition, there was no doubt that Shi Churan was the most outstanding. Whether in academics or on the sports field, he was top-notch.
Sweat dripped from the boy's forehead, sliding down his delicate face. Despite being a boy who loved sports, his skin was so fair it looked as if he had never been exposed to the sun.
The boy glanced at his watch; it was getting late, and he realized he should go back to take a shower, so he headed towards where he had left his things.
Just then, a bottle of water was handed to her. Wan Ge smiled faintly and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses.
Shi Churan looked at the woman standing in front of him. He remembered her; she was one of the school beauties, but what impressed him most was her outstanding academic performance.
Shi Churan once thought the other girl was like herself, a child whose family demanded perfection. But later she discovered that this girl was confident and proud, doing whatever she wanted and never being bound by anything. At that moment, Shi Churan knew that she and the other girl were not the same kind of person.
"Squad leader, have some water."
Shi Churan had actually brought her own water, but seeing the expectant look on the person in front of her, she didn't refuse: "Thank you, Wan Ge."
