Chapter 18 Campus Goddess Bai Yueguang 18 Don’t you like Ji Hanlin…
As the Gaokao approached, Wen Qianning's life became unusually simple. Since her arrival in this world, besides completing novel plot tasks, she had been studying diligently, and her grades had long been consistently in the top ten in her grade. During this time, her parents had been at home with her.
June soon arrived, and the two days of the college entrance examination passed quickly, which meant that the days at Shangde High School were coming to an end.
Wen Qianning was chosen as the graduating class representative to give a speech at the graduation ceremony, while the other student representative was Lin Weixi from the science class.
As required by the school, the two participated in a rehearsal together the day before the graduation ceremony.
Wen Qianning stood beside the podium, gently flipping through the manuscript in his hand.
Lin Weixi stood on the other side, holding the folder in her hands on her knees. She tilted her head to look at Wen Qianning on the stage and asked, "Mr. Wen, have you been good at this kind of thing since you were a child?"
"What?" Wen Qianning looked up, not quite understanding what she meant.
"Student Wen is pretty and has good grades." Lin Weixi smiled wistfully, "She's the goddess in the hearts of many students in the school."
At this time, a series of footsteps approached slowly. The two looked towards the door at the same time. The person who came was Yan Jiayue.
He walked in, raised his eyebrows, and waved in the direction of the two of them.
"Why are you here?" Wen Qianning asked.
"Come to see you." He stood leaning against the podium, his tone lazy.
Lin Weixi next to him didn't say anything, but just lowered his head to organize the manuscript paper.
Yan Jiayue glanced at her, paused, and turned to Wen Qianning and said, "Would you like to have dinner together after the ceremony tomorrow?"
Wen Qianning was stunned for a moment.
"Where are you going?"
"It's the club we often go to." Yan Jiayue said.
She pursed her lips and finally nodded.
Yan Jiayue glanced at Lin Weixi standing aside and asked softly, seemingly unintentionally, "Classmate Lin, can you come if you're free? We'll just be some friends of ours, hanging out after the graduation ceremony."
"Is it okay?" Lin Weixi asked hesitantly.
"Of course." Yan Jiayue smiled. "Our friends are all very friendly. You don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable."
Lin Weixi looked at him with subtle emotions in her eyes: "Forget it, I'm not going. I hope you have fun."
She was never part of their circle, so what was the point of forcing herself to fit in?
Wen Qianning listened to them talking and suddenly realized that something was wrong... No, why did Yan Jiayue know the heroine?
In the original text, Yan Jiayue was just a male supporting role, and had no connection with the heroine. The two of them didn't have the kind of relationship where they could talk to each other that they do now, right?
Yan Jiayue shrugged her shoulders to express her regret, still looking nonchalant. She smiled and waved goodbye, saying, "Well, that's a pity. I'll go back to the classroom first. See you tomorrow."
Lin Weixi watched him walk away, turned around and took a sip of water, then suddenly said slowly: "Does he like you?"
Wen Qianning was stunned for a moment: "Who?"
"Who else could it be?" Lin Weixi looked at her, her expression unchanged, "Yan Jiayue."
She spoke so naturally, as if she was just chatting, but her eyes were fixed on Wen Qianning's reaction.
"...No." Wen Qianning shook her head and denied it, "We just grew up together."
"Childhood sweethearts." Lin Weixi said lightly, "Then it's easier to like her."
"It's not like that." Wen Qianning didn't understand why she suddenly said this. "He and I have never had that kind of relationship."
"Yeah?"
Lin Weixi smiled, paused for a second, and said seriously: "But I will fight for it."
Wen Qianning widened her eyes in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
Who is she going for?
Lin Weixi looked at her with a firm look in her eyes: "I said, I will fight for Yan Jiayue. After all, we are about to graduate, right..."
"Who are you fighting for? Yan Jiayue?!" She couldn't believe what she heard, and her tone was full of obvious surprise.
"..." Lin Weixi frowned, looking strange, "Yan Jiayue, what's wrong?"
"Don't you like Ji Hanlin?" Wen Qianning was a little overwhelmed.
Lin Weixi is the heroine of the novel, and Ji Hanlin is the hero. Why would she fall in love with Yan Jiayue, the supporting actor?
But when Lin Weixi heard this, it was like she was hearing some ridiculous joke. She was silent for several seconds, then asked in a strange tone, "Why should I like Ji Hanlin?"
"I only gave Ji Hanlin a birthday present, but that was because he had good grades and I wanted to learn from him, so I gave it to him out of friendship. He has always been very cold to me, so why would I like him?" Lin Weixi said seriously, her tone so calm that it didn't sound like she was lying.
Wen Qianning was stunned, looking at her in confusion: "But...didn't he invite you to the Jiang family's banquet?"
"Banquet?" Lin Weixi raised her eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that it took her a while to recall. "Oh, you mean the welcoming party for Ji Hanlin? Mr. Jiang invited our class monitor, but she happened to have something urgent to do and couldn't go, so I represented our class on her behalf."
"And Ji Hanlin basically ignored me from beginning to end, okay?" She paused, as if finally noticing something wrong with the girl's tone, and asked doubtfully, "Why do you keep asking about Ji Hanlin and me? Did you misunderstand something?"
Wen Qianning opened her mouth, but couldn't explain for a moment.
Because in this novel, Lin Weixi is the heroine and Ji Hanlin is the hero!
But now, given the situation... what male and female protagonists, they haven't even said a few words to each other, even Ji Hanlin doesn't like to pay attention to Lin Weixi, and Lin Weixi also looks like she doesn't want to have anything to do with Ji Hanlin.
"Come to think of it, I just ran into you and Ji Hanlin breaking up." Lin Weixi suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at her in horror, "Is it because of me that you broke up?"
"Of course it's not because of you..." Wen Qianning held her forehead speechlessly, but she didn't give up and continued to ask Lin Weixi, "But why do you like Yan Jiayue?"
Lin Weixi's ears turned red. She lowered her eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, and told her what happened between them that day.
"One day after school, I bumped into Yan Jiayue at the corner of the teaching building. He was holding a drink and accidentally spilled it all over me."
"Then what?" Wen Qianning paused. Wasn't this what Yan Jiayue told her on the day she was hospitalized, that he had to stand her up because she accidentally spilled a drink on someone?
"Then he very naturally took off his coat and put it on me, and asked someone to send me a clean school uniform. His tone didn't have any kind of...frivolous feeling. It was very different from what I imagined him to be." Lin Weixi pursed her lips, her eyes drifting for a moment. "Later, he took me to the locker room and waited outside the door for me to change clothes."
Wen Qianning looked at her and was speechless.
Lin Weixi brushed away the strands of hair by her ears and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, you don't need too many reasons to like someone. It's just that little heartbeat. Mr. Wen should be able to understand me."
Wen Qianning was a little dazed. She had been carefully mediating for the plot tasks during this period, but in the end, the plot had gone off track to the point where it was out of control.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Weixi noticed that she was in a bad mood, "Are you okay?"
Wen Qianning came back to her senses and shook her head gently: "It's okay, I'm just... a little tired."
Lin Weixi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted her shoulder: "How about we not rehearse? It's just a speech, just read the script normally tomorrow, go back and rest first."
The heroine is just as gentle and considerate as in the original novel. Wen Qianning is in tears. Her character hasn't changed, so why has the plot become like this inexplicably?
*
Wen Qianning returned home, still worried about this matter. She was afraid that the system would directly determine that the mission had failed.
At night, she lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. She could only force herself to close her eyes and try to call the system with her consciousness.
In a trance, she felt like she had fallen asleep, but a string of words suddenly appeared in her mind:
[Reconnecting to the system channel...]
[Unusual plot deviation detected, contacting the main control consciousness...]
The screen in my mind suddenly flashed, and then the system's electronic mechanical sound finally sounded:
[Host Wen Qianning, the mission has deviated significantly from its trajectory, and the original plot has been severely disrupted. Could you please explain this?]
The system's voice was calm and emotionless, and Wen Qianning was stunned by the question.
But the system didn't seem to wait for her to answer and continued on its own:
[This system has clearly indicated to you before the mission: Your goal is to become the male protagonist's sweetheart and break up with him at a key mission point, paving the way for the female protagonist's appearance and the subsequent development of the novel's plot.]
Wen Qianning's throat tightened and she choked: "I've already broken up with the male lead as planned in the original plot..."
"The node mission has indeed been completed." The system responded emotionlessly, "Therefore, your current mission is barely considered a passing grade. But..."
It paused, and its tone suddenly became a little more serious:
You have failed to successfully develop the relationship between the heroine and heroine. The original design lacked any emotional connection between the hero and heroine, and the subsequent relationship line cannot be initiated. System assessment: Mission completion is only 61%. The host should actively adapt to the plot changes and find the best solution.
"How can I make amends?" She was stunned, her heart full of doubts, "Let Lin Weixi like Ji Hanlin again? But she likes Yan Jiayue. I can't control her emotions and tell her not to like Yan Jiayue, right?"
[The current optimal remedy path has been generated: Please fill in the position yourself, assume the role of the heroine, and enter the main emotional track with the hero.]
"What?" Wen Qianning was stunned for a moment when he heard the remedial plan proposed by the system.
[In this mission, the protagonist's emotional development towards the host has been determined by the system to be a genuine emotional connection, so the host can directly undertake subsequent plot tasks and advance the novel's ending. However, please remember to avoid this situation in future missions!]
After the system finished speaking those cold reminders, it fell into a black screen, leaving her alone waking up in bed.
Wen Qianning sat up in bed, stunned, her ears ringing. She couldn't believe it. Now she was asked to get back together with Ji Hanlin?
