Chapter 8 The Devoted Female Supporting Character Can't Escape
Chapter 8
The news that Zhang Min skipped class to smoke in the toilet and was beaten so badly that she was unable to move spread throughout the entire school in just one break.
It even alarmed the school board.
After all, sending someone to the hospital after beating them is no small matter.
Zhang Min was carried away on a stretcher.
The corridor was packed with people, all craning their necks to watch the person being carried into the ambulance.
If Zhang Min were conscious, she would probably die of shame and indignation.
Qin Yan wasn't particularly interested in the fact that Zhang Min had been beaten and hospitalized.
She was a little annoyed by the system notification that suddenly appeared in her mind.
[Ding! Plot correction. You cried and claimed that pouring water wasn't your intention and that beating Zhang Min wasn't your doing, all to gain Xie Lin's sympathy. Please go to Xie Lin's classroom immediately.]
Qin Yan didn't want to move.
In the past, if someone didn't cooperate in completing the task, they would have been locked in a dark room and punished.
But instead of being punished or thrown into a more difficult world, the system repeatedly revised the plot to accommodate her.
She couldn't understand it, and she didn't want to understand it.
She just wants to retire and not get entangled in romantic relationships with people who are mentally unstable.
Although she won't be punished, the system will keep giving her tasks.
This is really annoying.
Faced with the choice between giving up and being harassed, Qin Yan chose to give Xie Lin a hard time.
Let the mission be completed even further off track from the plot.
While everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Min lying on the stretcher, Qin Yan walked up the stairs, looking slightly annoyed.
Unlike Qin Ye, who was sitting on a stool with his legs crossed, doing his test papers and oblivious to the commotion outside, Xie Lin, like everyone else, leaned against the railing and casually watched Zhang Min being carried away.
It was as if this person had absolutely no connection to him.
Qin Yan spotted Xie Lin at a glance, someone who was kept a meter's distance by everyone around him and no one dared to approach him.
His gaze toward Zhang Min was as cold as that of a stranger.
Anyone who didn't know would never guess that these two had just ended their relationship.
“Ah Lin,” Lu Hao nudged Xie Lin’s arm, “someone’s here.”
Xie Lin turned his head nonchalantly and saw Qin Yan, whose expression was slightly impatient.
The dense crowd shifted their gaze from Zhang Min to Qin Yan.
Curious and inquisitive gazes lingered between Xie Lin and Qin Yan.
Qin Yan did not take another step closer.
She recalled the task prompt from the system: to complain that pouring water was not her intention.
She stared intently at Xie Lin: "I did pour soy milk on her head, on purpose."
Xie Lin lowered his head, his eyes unfathomable.
The second task prompted by the system is to cry and confess that the beating of Zhang Min was not done by oneself.
Qin Yan's tone gradually became impatient: "Although I wasn't the one who hit her, I was happy to see her get hit."
Xie Lin remained silent.
"I hope you will keep your ex-girlfriend and future girlfriend in check and stop harassing me."
No one dared to speak loudly, and some even secretly took out their phones to record videos.
No one dared to provoke Xie Lin, after all, those who had provoked him ended up in the hospital.
But now, this woman, who has been rejected by Xie Lin time and time again, is openly giving Xie Lin attitude.
Everyone waited anxiously and fearfully for Xie Lin's performance.
Xie Lin remained silent, his face grim.
Qin Yan ignored him and turned to leave.
Now that we've found Xie Lin, even though the mission wasn't 100% successful, at least we've accomplished it.
The system's mechanical, emotionless prompts stopped ringing in my mind, and finally, things calmed down.
After watching the excitement, Li Jun returned and said to Qin Ye, who was sitting in his seat working on chemistry competition problems, with great interest: "Wow, your fiancée is quite arrogant."
Upon hearing the words "fiancée," Qin Ye finally spared him a glance: "Hmm?"
"She came to see Xie Lin, just now."
Qin Ye tapped the table lightly with the tip of his pen: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Li Jun laughed awkwardly twice: "No, it was too sudden, I didn't have time."
Qin Ye didn't press him on this question: "She came, and then what?"
Seeing that he wasn't going to pursue the matter, Li Jun vividly described the confrontation between Qin Yan and Xie Lin that had just taken place.
After describing it, he affirmed his ability to narrate the events and silently gave himself a thumbs up in his mind, "Hmm, that's about it."
Qin Ye looked down at the exam paper, it was unclear whether he had listened or not.
Li Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He grabbed Wang Yue, who had just returned from the toilet and missed Xie Lin's humiliation, and recounted with gestures how Qin Yan had come to Xie Lin's door and slapped him in the face.
After hearing this, Wang Yue glanced down and remarked, "She seems very happy."
Qin Ye smiled and said, "I'm very happy too."

Qin Yan thought that the matter with Zhang Min was over.
I was blocked on my way back to the dormitory after school in the afternoon.
One red-haired, one green-haired, and one purple-haired.
They are colorful and each has its own unique characteristics.
Qin Yan didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Excuse me, please move aside."
The three girls pouted, intending to look down on Qin Yan with a superior expression, but Qin Yan was simply too much taller than them. They had no choice but to tilt their heads back and try their best to look disdainful and arrogant.
Red Hair: "So it was you? You sent people to beat up Zhang Min?"
Qin Yan understood.
It turns out that she mistakenly believed that Zhang Min was the one who ordered the beating of Zhang Min until she was unrecognizable and then carried away.
Unfortunately, they guessed wrong.
She would never stoop to such petty behavior.
It's more satisfying to do things yourself than to order others around.
Qin Ye, who had just finished showering and was walking out wrapped in a towel, exclaimed: "Achoo!"
Wang Yue glanced at him: "Got a cold?"
Qin Ye rubbed the tip of his nose: "It's nothing, my nose is just itchy."
Qin Yan looked at the three types of t-shirts in front of her and didn't want to say too much to them: "It wasn't me, move aside."
The colorful trio ignored her, thinking her current behavior was a sign of guilt, and became even more arrogant: "What are you pretending for? Now the whole school knows you have a conflict with Zhang Min. If you didn't send people to beat her up, who else could it be?"
Green Hair sneered: "You're pretty capable, getting beaten up so badly that you sent him to the hospital."
Qin Yan didn't know.
I'm too lazy to guess.
Given Zhang Min's personality, it wouldn't be surprising if she offended anyone.
Who knows, Xie Lin might find her incredibly annoying, and might even hire someone to beat her up because he resented her for continuing to harass him after the breakup.
Xie Lin is not one to cherish women; apart from the female lead, no other mortal can touch his love-starved and decadent heart.
Qi Yu was right; Xie Lin was a complete scumbag.
Qin Yan's tone was indifferent: "I'll say it again, it has nothing to do with me."
She softly uttered two words: "Get out of the way."
Purple Hair laughed triumphantly: "We've been waiting for you for so long, do you think we'd let you go so easily?"
She looked around and said, "After we squatted down, we had people surround this area to prevent anyone from getting close. There are no cameras here."
Red Hair grinned sinisterly: "You can't escape."
There are no cameras.
Qin Yan silently repeated these words in her mind.
Good.
These colorful creatures are quite adept at choosing locations to ambush people; they deserve praise.
She looked up and around, and indeed there were no conspicuous cameras.
Then, looking at the three determined people in front of him, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Well, they can't escape now."
Ten minutes later—
Why haven't they come out yet?
"Could they have beaten someone too hard and killed them?"
"...Let's go take a look."
A few people walked over suspiciously and saw three people with brightly colored hair tangled together in various strange positions, lying or sprawling on the ground.
It's not very aesthetically pleasing.
"Holy crap, what's going on?"
Where is Qin Yan?
"Who did this?"
Someone stepped forward and patted one of the unconscious men on the cheek: "Wake up! Who beat you up like this?"
Another person rolled their eyes at him: "What are you filming for? Hurry up and get him to the infirmary!"
The school doctor gave them a quick check-up and then called an ambulance.
Their little faces were clean and there seemed to be no external injuries.
—But they were all broken!
The other three were called to the dean's office for a talk.
They stammered and couldn't give a coherent explanation, only saying that they saw three people lying unconscious on the ground while passing by and rushed them here.
They can't exactly say they went there to gang up on Qin Yan, can they?
Several people ganged up on one person, but they hadn't even won yet.
Although they still refused to believe that Qin Yan had single-handedly taken down all three of them.
Qin Yan, who looks weak and frail, unable to lift a finger or carry anything, and only knows how to cling to Xie Lin, is actually a fighter?
Who would believe that if I told them?
They themselves didn't believe it in the first place.
*
Photos of people being beaten unconscious during fights always circulate quickly on campus.
Photos of the colorful trio lying unconscious and being carried away quickly spread.
There were even close-up, high-definition photos of him being carried onto an ambulance.
【These three? What's wrong? Food poisoning?】
I heard it was a fight, and [the person in question] is lying on the ground.
[What did he do to deserve this? What grudge could he have committed to get beaten up like this, he's even unconscious.]
【Huh? I know these three. They're always stirring up trouble and getting into fights. This time it looks serious.】
[I've got inside information! Apparently, they're going to beat up Qin Yan!]
[Beat up Qin Yan? Why? What did Qin Yan do?]
[They heard that they were Zhang Min's friends and were convinced that Qin Yan was responsible for Zhang Min being beaten and hospitalized, so they gathered people to confront her.]
So, three against one and still couldn't win and even got killed? Am I misunderstanding?
[It's not even certain how many it will be. Someone like Qin Yan, would she even know how to fight? She definitely called in backup.]
Qin Ye and Wang Yue waited at the door, while Li Jun lingered, reluctant to leave the dormitory.
Wang Yue: "Stop playing on your phone, I'm leaving."
Li Jun waved his hand: "Wait! I'm here to see some juicy gossip!"
"We can watch the big melon later, but if you don't leave now, we won't wait for you."
Li Jun's eyes were glued to the phone screen: "No way, this is really big news! Even Ye Ge wouldn't want to go to evening self-study after seeing this."
Qin Ye, who had been leaning against the door, lazily looked over when he heard his words.
Wang Yue laughed and said, "Then tell us, if it's not a big scandal, we'll leave immediately. Don't blame us for not waiting for you if you're late for evening self-study."
"It's said that Ye Ge's fiancée got beaten up."
