Chapter 11: The Harem Heroine in Male-Oriented Novels
Ning Wanwan's heart suddenly tightened.
Fortunately, Zhao Rui didn't say anything after that. He waved his hand as if he didn't want to see her and wanted to drive her away.
Ning Wanwan stood outside the classroom with her textbooks in her arms, leaning against the wall of the corridor, slightly distracted.
"I think I made a mistake." Ning Wanwan muttered to herself, only she could hear it.
【Host, you don't need to blame yourself! It was his fault to begin with, suddenly leaning close to your ear to talk to you and touching you inappropriately!】The system was indignant.
Ning Wanwan: "Ah...that's not it."
She didn't think she had done anything wrong. Although Zhao Rui hadn't done anything substantial, it seemed he had just gotten too close and said some frivolous things to her, but his attitude and gaze did make her very uncomfortable.
Ning Wanwan didn't know what she had done to offend him. If this accidental shoving would make Zhao Rui continue to dislike her as he did the original owner of the body, it would actually be a good thing.
"If it's not that, then what are you referring to?" The system's data stream was running when it suddenly realized something. "Could it be that you're concerned about what he said...?"
“Yes,” Ning Wanwan said softly, “I shouldn’t underestimate anyone.”
She only focused on the powerful and capable characters in the world's storyline, ignoring Zhao Rui, whose character was one-dimensional and merely used as cannon fodder to slap people in the face, thinking that they probably wouldn't notice her changes.
Although Zhao Rui is a clownish character in the story, only worthy of being crushed by the protagonist, if he really discovers something is wrong and wants to target her, Ning Wanwan, in her current situation, would have no power to fight back at all.
Moreover, the first major plot point hasn't even arrived yet. Zhao Rui is still a wealthy and powerful second-generation rich kid, and even the male lead is being suppressed by him.
"I need to be more careful... I should try to disguise the original owner's persona as much as possible, and not arouse their suspicion too much. I should try to stay hidden..."
Ning Wanwan cherishes the chance to start over and longs to return to her original world alive.
Objective: Maintain the storyline and survive until the end!
Just as Ning Wanwan was gradually gaining her fighting spirit, a commotion suddenly broke out in the next class!
What happened?
Ning Wanwan was a little curious. After watching for a while, she noticed that almost all the students in the classrooms were craning their necks to look out the window at the corridor, especially the boys, whose eyes were shining and whose faces were full of excitement and longing.
Of course, they weren't looking at her. They were looking at the other side of the corridor.
I vaguely heard someone say, "The school beauty is coming!"
"Really? Really?!"
"Of course! The teacher just said it himself!"
"Ahhh, she's my goddess! It's so rare to see her!"
Those people were incredibly excited; even through the window and the distance, Ning Wanwan could feel their eagerness.
However, the school beauty characters who have this kind of setting in male-oriented novels are basically...
Just as Ning Wanwan was pondering, a slender figure with an elegant posture and straight back appeared and approached at the entrance of the corridor staircase.
Her pace was neither hurried nor slow, and even if you couldn't see her face clearly, you could still imagine a swan resting in the lake under the afternoon sun.
As the distance closed, Ning Wanwan gradually saw the other person's appearance clearly.
Her hair was as black as ink, her skin as white as jade, and she was as beautiful as a figure in a painting. There seemed to be a thin, faint smile in her dark, lustrous eyes.
What stands out even more is her overall demeanor.
Gentle yet noble, beautiful yet elegant, she makes one want to get close to her while feeling ashamed of one's own appearance.
Anyone who looked at her would immediately recognize that she was a well-bred young lady from a noble family.
Compared to her, Lin Ruowei's stunning appearance seemed insignificant.
[She is one of the female leads, Shen Wu.] The system is also watching.
That's right, one of the female leads. This is a male-oriented harem novel with a protagonist who is overpowered by a dragon.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of women in the novel who want to have a relationship with the male protagonist, but only three can truly be called the female lead. They are the most outstanding and have the most screen time, and their popularity almost crushes the other female supporting characters!
However, whether the male lead will ultimately accept all of them or choose only one remains to be seen.
Looking at Shen Wu's figure, Ning Wanwan couldn't help but sigh again, "She's really beautiful."
No wonder she's qualified to be the female lead.
She wasn't originally concerned about how the male lead was chosen, but now that she only saw Shen Wu as the female lead, she could already imagine how dazzling the other two female leads were.
This made her curious about the male lead's choice.
The system's viewpoint leans towards the male protagonist adding all three female protagonists to his harem, since it's not clear from the plot that the male protagonist shows any particular special affection for any of them.
"I can't help but feel envious of the male lead," Ning Wanwan joked to the system.
With such a thriving career and love life, who wouldn't be envious?
However, Ning Wanwan was just saying it; if she were actually given this good fortune, she would be so afraid and agitated that she would shrink back into her shell.
[It's perfectly normal to envy the male lead. Many systems I know are incredibly envious of him. It's just that they can't get in. If they could, watching the male lead interact with the female leads, they'd probably be green with envy.]
"Huh? Why?" Ning Wanwan asked, puzzled.
[Because the three female leads are incredibly popular!]
[You can't even imagine how many systems and hosts have become so divided, betting on which female lead will end up with the male lead, and even fighting over who gets to be with him! And there are also many die-hard fans of the male lead who hope he won't choose any of them and will stay single and focus on his career...]
[If you ask me, these kinds of male-oriented novels are all about the female lead building a harem, so what's there to argue about...]
The system chattered excitedly with Ning Wanwan, who, having nothing else to do while standing outside the classroom, couldn't help but listen with interest, her eyes blinking gently.
While listening to the system gossip in Ningwanwan.
Chen Wu stopped at the door of the next classroom, gently knocked on the open door, but did not come in. Instead, she stood there, her tone as gentle as a spring breeze, and her behavior was very polite.
"Teacher Lin, the principal asked me to help deliver these books and materials. Could you please check if these are the ones you're looking for?" she said with a smile, her voice as pleasant as I had imagined.
She stood there gracefully, her gentle and elegant demeanor causing the students who had been making a fuss to fall silent, not daring to utter a sound.
"Oh, okay! Thank you for your hard work." Teacher Lin quickly strode to the classroom door, took the books, and was overly kind and friendly to Shen Wu.
This is quite normal. Shen Wu's grades are frighteningly excellent, and he also has a good personality, is capable of taking charge, and can keep those disobedient troublemakers in check. He is the kind of student that teachers like the most.
Moreover, Teacher Lin had heard that this student, Shen Wu, came from an incredibly powerful family background, and even the school's board members fawned over her.
Despite Teacher Lin's kind attitude, Shen Wu remained neither humble nor arrogant, her expression unchanged, her politeness tinged with a subtle, unapproachable distance.
"The items have been delivered, so I'll be leaving now, Teacher Lin."
"Okay, okay."
As Shen Wu turned to leave, she caught a glimpse of a girl's figure in the corner of the corridor next to the classroom.
She suddenly stopped.
The girl, with her head slightly lowered, seemed to be being punished by standing outside the classroom, holding her textbooks. Her slender figure was hidden in her oversized school uniform jacket, and she looked dazed, clearly lost in thought.
A strong and burning emotion gradually welled up in Chen Wu's eyes. She stood there for a while, then turned around and walked closer to the girl.
Ning Wanwan, who was listening to the system gossip, suddenly felt a commotion in the classroom behind her. The suppressed gasps rose and fell, but the teacher in the classroom did not stop them.
She was about to look up with some unease when she noticed a figure approaching.
It is desolation.
Ning Wanwan was a little confused, but then she felt relieved.
Chen Wu probably needs to talk to her class teacher, just like when she went to the class next door.
