Chapter 14 Fiancé, does he even deserve it?
The system means that the "love at first sight" phenomenon is real.
Socially anxious Ning Wanwan froze, her eyes filled with panic and resistance, and immediately denied it: "That's impossible!"
It absolutely cannot be true!
If it were true... just thinking about what might happen in the future made her feel suffocated and want to die.
The system didn't notice the fleeting fear in Ning Wanwan's eyes, and it itself thought it was impossible.
I'll say it again.
If this halo were truly that effective, it would have been snapped up long ago; there wouldn't have been a chance for its own host to get it.
Moreover, none of the characters in this novel I've encountered seem to be love-obsessed!
It's probably just a coincidence.
Hearing the conclusion the system had given her, Ning Wanwan smiled.
"Exactly, how could it be true?"
It absolutely cannot be true!
Despite thinking this, Ning Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but still took out her mask and put it on.
For those with social anxiety, hiding their face behind a full-face mask is a reassuring way to cope.
In the afternoon, Ning Wanwan continued to listen to the lectures intermittently, taking notes and familiarizing herself with the things the original owner of the body had learned.
Zhao Rui didn't bother her, which made her feel much better.
Lin Ruowei was fiddling with her phone, seemingly sending messages to someone, or perhaps discussing what to choose with her friends.
After returning home, Ning Wanwan sorted out all the original owner's designer bags and clothes and listed them on a second-hand website. She didn't set the prices high, and they sold relatively quickly.
Having received enough money to get by and having more money in her account, Ning Wanwan felt much more at ease.
She deliberately avoided places like the breakfast shop and campus supermarket where she had previously encountered characters from the novel, and the next few days passed peacefully.
Ning Wanwan's confidence in continuing to survive increased significantly.
During break, she overheard Lin Ruowei's friend praising her: "Ruowei, your hair looks so beautiful! If I were a man, I would be completely smitten with you!"
Lin Ruowei said smugly, "Of course!"
"Sure enough, I knew it! A rich young lady like Weiwei, with such a good family background and beautiful looks, is just a toad trying to eat swan meat!"
Lin Ruowei scoffed, "Only my grandfather was senile back then, arranging a marriage for me out of nowhere."
"Miss Lin, is that Qi Lin really your fiancé?" Someone nearby asked curiously.
"What fiancé? He's not worthy of me!"
Lin Ruowei's lips curled up with lip gloss: "That damn engagement was called off a long time ago, who does he think he is? My dad recently took me to visit the Jiang family!"
"Wow, the Jiang family? You can actually arrange a marriage between you and the Jiang family?"
"Of course."
"Did you see Jiang Yuyuan? He rarely shows his face, but he's amazing..."
Upon hearing the news, many people gathered around Lin Ruowei to flatter her and inquire about the details, creating quite a lively scene. Lin Ruowei seemed to be in a very good mood.
Ning Wanwan piled her textbooks high on the table, almost surrounding herself. She hid her face behind the books, propped her chin up with her hand, and carefully wrote questions on the draft paper with her pen.
The school she attended was somewhat similar to a prestigious academy, with most students coming from wealthy and powerful families. They were very interested in the news that the Jiang family might form a marriage alliance with the Lin family.
The Jiang family, Jiang Yuyuan, is the villain Ning Wanwan encountered on the very night she transmigrated into this world.
At that time, Ning Wanwan felt as if she had not transmigrated into a dangerous fantasy novel, but rather into a romance novel.
However, the villain's aura was indeed very strong, and Ning Wanwan didn't dare to look at him for long throughout the entire time.
If the major villains in the early stages are already this bad, I can't even imagine what the final boss will look like.
When school was over, most people had left. Lin Ruowei was on the phone: "Why is the car parked at the school gate? Okay, I'll be right there..."
Ning Wanwan didn't linger. She packed her things and left as usual, but as she was leaving the teaching building, she happened to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance.
It was Shen Wu; she was talking to a boy.
The boy looked tall and good-looking, but his demeanor was so restrained that he was almost unremarkable. However, even in front of Shen Wu, he remained neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was calm.
Ning Wanwan didn't look closely before turning her gaze away, only to hear the system shouting that this was the male lead.
Last time in the supermarket, Ning Wanwan didn't dare to turn around and look at the male lead, so she didn't know what he looked like until this time.
"The male and female leads knew each other so early on?"
Yes, Shen Wu was one of the first female leads to appear. She was the first to discover the male lead's unusual nature and wanted to cooperate with him, which is how their relationship developed...
Ning Wanwan understood: develop the romance storyline while simultaneously advancing the career path.
The affairs between the main characters naturally had nothing to do with her, a minor character, because she was quite far away, and it seemed that neither the male nor female lead had noticed her presence.
Just as Ning Wanwan was about to leave, she heard a vicious curse coming from behind her.
"Chen Wu, that bitch!"
Ning Wanwan was so startled by the sound that she almost jumped up. When she turned around, she met Lin Ruowei's beautiful face, which was full of displeasure and slightly distorted.
Lin Ruowei, wearing lambskin shoes and carrying a designer backpack, stood behind her. She didn't know when she had finished her phone call.
She stared in the direction of the male and female protagonists and sneered, "I threw away my unwanted ex-fiancé, and she's actually interested?"
"You want to cultivate that sweet, innocent reputation for her again, don't you? You're always putting on an act."
"Only those blind and tasteless guys would think she's good. I'll skin her alive sooner or later."
Ning Wanwan: "..."
Lin Ruowei, the female supporting character who looked down on the male lead and broke off her engagement, actually had such a big reaction after seeing the male and female leads getting along.
However, considering that Lin Ruowei was always overshadowed by Shen Wu in the plot, and that she couldn't compare to Shen Wu in terms of family background, appearance, or academic performance, Ning Wanwan could somewhat understand Lin Ruowei's resentment.
"Ning Wanwan, what do you think of Qi Lin?" Lin Ruowei suddenly asked.
Ning Wanwan was taken aback when she was suddenly called, and was about to say something like "it's alright" to get by.
"It's alright, I don't..."
[Character design! Your character wouldn't say anything like "it's alright"! And based on Lin Ruowei's personality analysis, if you don't speak ill of the male lead, she'll definitely pick a fight with you.]
Ning Wanwan: "..."
Ning Wanwan quickly flipped through the original owner's memories of her time with Lin Ruowei and realized that what the system said was true.
"You think Qi Lin is alright?" Lin Ruowei's face darkened as she stared intently at Ning Wanwan, her grip on Ning Wanwan's hand almost hurting.
Ning Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed her tune, diligently reciting the lines that cannon fodder should say.
“I don’t know what kind of person he is, but he is definitely not good enough for you.”
Lin Ruowei's face flushed, and she scoffed, "He's just a poor boy with no power or influence, of course he's not good enough for me. I'm the eldest daughter of the Lin family."
Ning Wanwan pursed her lips, and the chick nodded as it pecked at rice.
Lin Ruowei looked down on Qi Lin from the bottom of her heart, and didn't think that a peasant like Qi Lin with no background could ever turn his life around. She also resented Shen Wu, who was always above her.
But seeing that Shen Wu was showing special regard for Qi Lin, she felt both annoyed and worried that she had really misjudged him.
Hearing Ning Wanwan say that Qi Lin was not good enough for her made her feel much better.
"I'm just waiting to see Shen Wu make a fool of himself by picking up that poor kid I didn't want."
Ning Wanwan hesitated for two seconds, then continued to act as an emotionless yes-man: "Mmm."
At this time, Lin Ruowei was extremely disgusted with Qi Lin. Who could have predicted that fortunes would change so drastically, and the male lead would turn out to be the most promising prospect, eventually even standing at the pinnacle of the world?
Before long, Lin Ruowei, who is currently mocking her poor ex-fiancé, will be filled with regret.
