Chapter 18 Zhou Yanyao: "We can't look for them again..."
Zhou Yanyao: "I can't contact her anymore. She already said that, and I'm not so pathetic as to try to win her over..."
Qi Lin listened carefully for a while: "Who's in cahoots with them?"
Zhou Yanyao was startled by Qi Lin's sudden voice: "Old Qi, what are you still doing here?"
Qi Lin: "..."
Qi Lin gave a dangerous smile: "Why do you think I'm here?"
Zhou Yanyao: "..." His chaotic mind finally cleared up a little.
Qi Lin narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing him leisurely: "Tell me, who exactly did you run into with Zhao Rui and the others?"
Zhou Yanyao thought about it and felt that Qi Lin was smarter than him and might be able to figure something out. Besides, he was also devastated by the fact that the person he liked was his enemy, so he needed to confide in his good brother.
"...In short, that's about it." Zhou Yanyao gave a general overview of the situation.
Qi Lin: "So that means your 'love at first sight' was with Zhao Rui and the others, sitting in the car Zhao Rui hit you in, and you even admitted to yourself that you were in cahoots with Zhao Rui and Lin Ruowei."
"And you still think there's a reason behind your 'love at first sight'?"
Qi Lin even suspected that Zhou Yanyao might have suffered brain damage from the fall, otherwise, what kind of filter was he wearing?
Zhou Yanyao immediately said, "Maybe Wanwan was forced by them. How could an ordinary student resist these rich kids..."
Qi Lin coldly pointed out: "But the truth is, given Zhao Rui and Lin Ruowei's personalities, they wouldn't bring ordinary students who have nothing to do with them or who they've bullied into their new sports car."
Zhou Yanyao: "..."
Zhou Yanyao: "No, Wanwan must have her reasons."
“She’s not the same kind of person as Zhao Rui and Lin Ruowei, I can tell.”
"She must have had a reason."
As he said this, Zhou Yanyao gradually calmed down, the resentment in his heart dissipated, and his eyes became firm.
Qi Lin: "..." Who understands? I've never felt so speechless before.
Even when Lin Ruowei came to his door to annul the engagement and humiliated him, and when Zhao Rui and his gang suppressed and harassed him, it was not as complicated as this!
He finally couldn't help but curse out loud: "You love-struck idiot."
"What the hell? If you were hit and killed on the spot, would you still remember to say 'she had her reasons'?"
Zhou Yanyao let go of his resentment, feeling proud rather than ashamed, and smiled, revealing a set of bright white teeth: "Hmm, that's because you don't understand."
Love-struck people are just so irrational.
Qi Lin said expressionlessly, "Hehe."
His name is Wanwan, right? He remembered it. He'll definitely take a good look at this "love at first sight" magic that can turn people into love-struck fools.
...
Ning Wanwan was unaware that she had already been added to the list of male protagonists who were arrogant and domineering.
She was thinking about the specific tasks the system had just told her about next.
[You have a relatively important plot point, although it's not mentioned much in the novel, it plays a significant role later on, and you need to handle it yourself.]
"What kind of mission is it?" Ning Wanwan asked, puzzled.
She prayed in her heart that it wouldn't be a mission that required her to contact anyone.
[Don't worry, host, what you need to do is very simple! There's a plot point later where Lin Ruowei goes to the Jiang family to see Jiang Yuyuan in order to secure a marriage alliance with the Jiang family, and you, as her follower, accompany her.]
[There, in the story, the original owner was anxious because she couldn't get Lin Ruowei and Zhao Rui to take her seriously. In a moment of madness, she tried to seize an opportunity to climb up to other wealthy people in the Jiang family, but accidentally barged into a room and offended Jiang Yuyuan's younger brother.]
[Jiang Yuyuan's younger brother has a bad temper, and due to other reasons, he almost hurt the original owner of this body. Jiang Yuyuan helped clean up the mess, and Lin Ruowei thus had the opportunity to meet Jiang Yuyuan.]
"You said this plot will affect what happens later, what kind of impact?" Ning Wanwan thought for a moment and asked seriously.
Because of this incident, Lin Ruowei developed the illusion that she could be married into the Jiang family, and her behavior became increasingly arrogant. She directly suppressed the male lead Qi Lin and his friend Zhou Yanyao, and even tried to force them to transfer schools and leave the city in order to erase the stain of her past broken engagement.
Ning Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "Is that so..."
Of course, the villainous female supporting character's actions ultimately fail; instead, they only fuel the male lead's hatred, leading to an even more tragic end.
Ning Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as she wasn't dragged into it in the end.
[Yes, you're one of those lackeys who aid and abet the female supporting character in her evil deeds.]
Ning Wanwan: "..."
She slumped onto the table, utterly heartbroken, and sighed softly.
"It's so hard to maintain the plot while also keeping my life..."
Because she was preoccupied with this matter, Ning Wanwan didn't pay much attention to the other people chatting and gossiping about the male and female leads, Qi Lin and Shen Wu.
On the other side, Zhou Yanyao also heard the faint rumors circulating in the school.
"Old Qi, I heard you're about to fall in love? Are you really going to date Shen Wu?" Zhou Yanyao grinned at Qi Lin with a mischievous grin. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be love-struck?"
Qi Lin remained unmoved, his gaze indifferent: "Do you think this is possible? Even with Lin Ruowei's family background, she looked down on me and broke off the engagement. The Shen family, the Shen Group..."
Zhou Yanyao's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "What are you thinking?"
“Although the reasons behind it are still unclear, Shen Wu is indeed trying to win me over,” Qi Lin said, then suddenly changed the subject.
Have you noticed the fruity scent in the school lately?
Zhou Yanyao was taken aback by the sudden change of topic, but still thought seriously: "That fruity fragrance, the smell is quite faint, but I can smell it all the time recently."
“I told you before that I felt something was changing, and this fruity fragrance appeared at just the right time. It was also around this time that Chenwu started to get in touch with me…” Qi Lin’s eyes were deep.
"This is by no means a coincidence."
"So what do you plan to do?" Zhou Yanyao asked directly, knowing that Qi Lin wouldn't speak without a purpose.
"I plan to find the source of this fruity aroma."
While making this decision, Qi Lin continued to organize the questions in his hands in an orderly manner, his tone calm and composed.
"I really want to know what changes are happening."
...
[Host, the aroma of the exotic fruit is growing stronger; we should prepare ourselves.]
Ning Wanwan naturally smelled it too.
"Okay. Speaking of which, is this fruity aroma harmful to the human body?"
There are no downsides, but rather advantages. However, anything that can make the user stronger will naturally be coveted by many...
Ning Wanwan listened attentively.
"Ning Wanwan, come with me to a place after class." Lin Ruowei suddenly appeared, interrupting the system's explanation in Ning Wanwan's mind.
Ning Wanwan looked puzzled and asked softly, "Where?"
Lin Ruowei, seemingly lost in thought, let out a cold laugh: "Of course, it's the place to feed the cats!"
She didn't plan to go alone, and she didn't want her friends in the circle to know, so Ning Wanwan, as her follower, was the most suitable candidate.
Ning Wanwan became increasingly confused about feeding the cat.
To be honest, Lin Ruowei doesn't seem like the kind of person who would actively show kindness by feeding cats.
