Chapter 5: The infatuated female supporting character saves the number.
Chapter 5
Qin Yan walked to the door.
Looking up, I saw a tall, slender boy who stood out among the students.
As soon as she appeared at the door, Qin Ye's cold eyes fell on her.
Qin Yan looked around but didn't see anyone else she recognized. She met Qin Ye's gaze, which was fixed solely on her: "You were looking for me?"
"Um."
Qin Ye raised his hand and opened his palm to reveal an exquisite and beautiful blue jewelry box.
"A cake as a thank you gift."
Qin Yan was somewhat surprised, staring at the jewelry box, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Qin Ye opened his mouth again, enunciating each word clearly: "Fiancée."
The surrounding noise suddenly subsided, and the area within a three-meter radius seemed to fall silent.
Qin Yan raised an eyebrow and took the jewelry box from her: "Thank you."
Although I don't know what Qin Ye's actions mean, it's not a bad thing to get along with him.
Although he was just a background character, he was still an excellent one.
In the original plot, the female supporting character lost her mind and will in order to steal the male lead, so the Qin family directly broke off the engagement.
Her motto is to go against the system. If the system tells her to follow the plot, she will deliberately go against the plot.
Then she would happily wait for the mission failure notification to pull her out of the world, apply for retirement, and enjoy a wealthy and leisurely retirement life.
The system told her to move closer to Xie Lin, but she insisted on sticking with Qin Ye.
Perhaps she was dreaming of a wonderful retirement life, because a smile appeared on her face, restrained yet brimming with heartfelt joy.
Qin Ye stared at the smile on Qin Yan's lips, lost in thought.
"I'm leaving now."
Qin Yan was in a good mood: "Take care."
[Ding! Male protagonist's desire to conquer +1]
After several experiences, Qin Yan had become indifferent to the male protagonist's inexplicable desire to conquer.
She vaguely sensed a burning gaze upon her, and following her intuition, she looked up to see Xie Lin leaning against the railing of the upstairs corridor, looking down at her.
She was too far away to see Xie Lin's expression clearly.
She looked away; Xie Lin did not affect her mood at the moment.
Even my steps became much lighter, and it wasn't until I returned to my seat that I saw my deskmate looking at me with an indescribable expression.
Qin Yan: "What's wrong?"
Fang Ling silently pushed the math problem in front of Qin Yan: "I don't know how to solve this problem."
She never imagined that one day she would ask Qin Yan for help with her homework.
Qin Yan casually placed the jewelry box on the table, took the notebook Fang Ling handed her, picked up a pencil, circled the useful information in the question, and wrote down the formula: "This question..."
Fang Ling's attention was initially drawn to the jewelry box, but after hearing Qin Yan's voice, she immediately focused on the question.
After Qin Yan finished explaining the problem, the class bell rang.
Fang Ling looked like she had figured it out.
The classroom wasn't completely quiet yet; there were still faint whispers around.
Taking the opportunity, Fang Ling asked the person next to her in a low voice, her gaze fixed on the jewelry box: "What is this? Who gave it to me?"
She was still shocked by Qin Yan's homework and didn't notice what Qin Yan did outside.
"have no idea."
Qin Yan shook her head, reached for the jewelry box, opened the lid, and revealed a luxurious and dazzling silver bracelet inside.
A luxury brand bracelet.
Fang Ling naturally recognized the bracelet as well, and covered her mouth with her hand to exclaim softly, "Wow! This is a bit pricey. I've been wanting it for a long time, but I haven't been able to bring myself to buy it."
Fang Ling's family background wasn't as good as Qin Yan's, but it was still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
She said it was a bit pricey, but in the eyes of ordinary people it was an exorbitant price.
Fang Ling looked at Qin Yan curiously: "Who sent it?"
It's not appropriate for a girl to give a bracelet as a gift, is it?
If it was a gift from a boy...
Qin Yan's pursuit of Xie Lin was obvious to everyone, but Xie Lin's disdain for Qin Yan was also common knowledge.
Surely Xie Lin can't have changed his mind, discovered Qin Yan's good qualities, and agreed to be with her, right?
After all, Qin Yan didn't seem like the type of person who would readily accept gifts from others.
Qin Yan put the bracelet on her wrist. Under the light, the bracelet shimmered with silver light, making her hands appear even whiter.
"fiancé."
She tossed the jewelry box into the drawer, shook the bracelet on her wrist—it was beautiful, and she liked it very much.
Qin Ye has good judgment.
The fact that the Qin family could purchase and deliver jewelry to the school so quickly shows that they are indeed a wealthy and influential family.
Fang Ling's pupils dilated.
"fiancé?"
Her voice unconsciously rose a little. The classroom was silent, making her voice seem abrupt and clear.
The word "fiancé" stirred up wave after wave of excitement in the classroom.
Those who were close by heard it very clearly and all turned around abruptly to stare at Fang Ling.
Realizing she had lost her composure, Fang Ling quickly regained her composure, lowered her head, and pretended that she wasn't the one who had just exclaimed in surprise.
Could her fiancé be Xie Lin?
Good heavens, could Qin Yan be using her family's influence to arrange a marriage between the Qin and Xie families?
Then, Xie Lin had no choice but to give Qin Yan a gift.
Fang Ling: !
The logic is perfect and it makes perfect sense!
To confirm her suspicions, Fang Ling still asked, "So, who is your fiancé?"
Qin Yan opened and closed her mouth, uttering two words: "Qin Ye".
The expected name did not appear; instead, a completely unexpected name appeared.
Fang Ling: ...Who?
Qin Yan had no idea that Fang Ling's brain had exploded; she spread out her English test paper and started doing practice questions.
Fang Ling stared at the gleaming bracelet, her heart filled with complex emotions: "Qin Ye, is it... that Qin Ye?"
While filling in the options, Qin Yan answered, "Well, there should only be one Qin Ye in our school, right?"
It was precisely because there was only one Qin Ye that she was even more shocked.
Fang Ling, who was usually focused on studying, was no longer thinking about her studies at this moment. It was rare for her to be distracted during evening self-study. Her mind was only on Qin Ye and Qin Yan, and she completely forgot that she should be writing furiously at this time.
Qin Ye, a prodigy.
A refined and aloof nobleman.
So it turned out that the person looking for Qin Yan outside was actually Qin Ye.
Her father constantly talked about Qin Ye in front of her, telling her to emulate him. If it weren't for her father's constant admonitions, she wouldn't be so sensitive to the name Qin Ye.
Fang Ling was somewhat dazed, her mind still a little dizzy, the names Qin Ye and Qin Yan floating around in her mind.
She even forgot how she opened her math homework and started scribbling on the draft paper.
When she came to her senses, she found that the draft paper was filled with: Qin Ye Qin Yan.
"..."
Anyone who didn't know better would think she had a crush on two people at the same time.
After evening self-study, Qin Yan returned to her dormitory.
Today is Thursday, and the driver sent her a message in advance, saying he would wait for her at the school gate at the same time tomorrow.
The school doesn't allow cell phones, but everyone brings them secretly. As long as they don't openly take them out, the teachers usually turn a blind eye.
She replied with an "okay".
I was lying in bed watching videos when my phone rang. It was an unknown number calling.
Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, Qin Yan hesitated for a moment before answering: "Hello?"
"fiancée."
A cool male voice came through the receiver, sounding slightly different from the voice heard in real life.
Qin Yan remained silent for a moment after hearing those three words.
Is Qin Ye just using the word naturally?
Where did he get her phone number?
Save the number.
"good."
Go to bed early.
"good."
Qin Yan waited for Qin Ye to hang up, but after a few seconds there was no dial tone. After waiting a while longer, she hung up first.
Then I saved the unknown number into my contacts with the note: Fiancé.
Qin Ye's initiative exceeded her expectations.
She felt that someone as outstanding as Qin Ye would not be content with a business marriage.
Young people are proud and would never accept a girl with a bad reputation at school as their marriage partner.
However, Qin Ye was a bit too proactive.
She couldn't understand or comprehend the act of making a special phone call just to have him save her number.
She had only strayed from the main plot, but she never expected the side plot to develop so quickly and rapidly.
That's fine, that way the mission will fail very quickly.
Who knows, she might wake up one morning to find her retirement application approved.
*
Qin Yan was woken up early in the morning by a knock on the door.
Qi Yu was calling her name from outside the door with her loud voice.
Qin Yan forced herself to open her eyes.
She's still here; the mission hasn't failed, and her retirement application certainly hasn't been approved.
She climbed down the ladder, covered her mouth and yawned, then opened the door with her fluffy hair sticking out.
Qi Yu said energetically, "Yan Yan, let's get ready and go have breakfast."
Qin Yan quickly tidied herself up, got dressed, and was then led out by Qi Yu.
The canteen serves food in a self-service format. Unlike Qi Yu, who loves high-calorie foods, Qin Yan prefers light meals in the morning. She simply picked out a few items and went to find a seat.
[Ding! The male lead has just sat down at the empty table to his left. You need to go and have breakfast with him.]
Qin Yan turned her head and saw that Xie Lin and his buddies had just sat down.
But what does that have to do with her?
Qin Yan withdrew her gaze and walked in another direction without looking to the side.
Xie Lin had his back to Qin Yan, so he naturally didn't notice her.
But Lu Hao, who was sitting opposite him, saw it. He clearly saw Qin Yan look in their direction and then walk away without hesitation.
Normally, she would have come over long ago, only to be rudely chased away by Xie Lin.
"That's so-and-so's fiancée." Lu Hao spoke in a roguish manner, not addressing people properly.
Xie Lin immediately realized, "Huh?"
Lu Hao gestured with his chin: "They went that way, they didn't stick to us."
Xie Lin turned his head and saw Qin Yan sitting down some distance away from him.
Sitting opposite her was the girl who often walked with her; she seemed quite talkative.
Qi Yu was indeed talkative. As soon as she sat down, she started talking: "Yanyan, do you know that the news of your engagement to Qin Ye has spread throughout the whole school?"
She didn't know.
I don't really want to know.
"I heard that Qin Ye came to see you last night and even brought you something?"
Qi Yu asked gossipily, "What did you give me?"
It's a pity she went home and missed it. What a shame.
Qin Yan stretched out her hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist: "This."
Qi Yu's eyes widened.
Isn't this that new luxury brand bracelet? It's not cheap.
Just as she was still reeling from the extravagant gift Qin Ye had given her on their first meeting, a slightly unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar voice rang out from above her head.
"morning."
Qin Ye put down his plate and sat down naturally next to Qin Yan.
"fiancée."
