You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?

Dusk

The orange sunset filtered through the gaps in the treetops, and the lingering sound of the school bell echoed, adding an ethereal touch to the tranquil atmosphere.

Aside from those involved in club activities, there weren't many students left on campus.

It wasn't crowded, which gave a sense of emptiness.

"There's not much going on next week. Just let me know on your phone when you're coming over."

As they walked along the asphalt road, Ji Mu joked, "There's no one else at my place, so don't bring any gifts."

No one else?

Wouldn't that mean... just the two of them?

Ruan Qingqing's cheeks felt hot, clearly interpreting it on a different level.

"Mu Mu, don't your parents live with you?"

She wanted to start a topic to cover her embarrassment, but after hearing the boy's answer, she regretted asking.

"I have no parents. I grew up in an orphanage."

"......"

Ruan Qingqing was stunned, the heat on her face dissipated, and her steps suddenly felt heavy.

Her lips trembled, she wanted to say something but hesitated, "Mu Mu, I..."

"Stop."

Noticing that the female lead was about to shed tears, Ji Mu quickly interrupted.

"I don't mind at all, so you definitely shouldn't feel guilty."

"Mm... I don't."

Ruan Qingqing forced a smile, but her tone easily revealed that she hadn't let it go.

Ji Mu found it amusing, "You don't look like you don't care."

The girl fell silent.

Her head slowly lowered, as if a wave of guilt surrounded her.

Seeing this, he could only step forward and slap her forehead.

"Ouch!"

Ruan Qingqing covered her forehead with both hands and took a few small steps back, "Ouch."

"Good, if you feel pain, at least you won't have the energy to overthink."

Ji Mu slowly withdrew his hand, "Silly goose, don't be so empathetic. You can't get up in the middle of the night and slap yourself, can you?"

Ruan Qingqing pouted, feeling a bit offended by his slightly teasing tone.

"But... but you still shouldn't hit people..."

Ji Mu was annoyed.

Seriously, girl, a light flick counts as a punch?

Just as he was about to defend himself, he noticed the red mark on the girl's forehead and closed his mouth again.

Okay, I forgot how delicate the female lead's skin is. Even the slightest touch leaves a mark.

Knowing that he couldn't justify himself, Ji Mu stretched out his arms, "Don't be angry. You can hit me back. If it doesn't make you feel better, you can hit me a few more times."

"No..." Ruan Qingqing pouted slightly.

She couldn't bear it.

"Does that mean you're not angry anymore?"

Ji Mu took advantage of the situation and clasped his hands, "Thank you for your great generosity, Lord Dai."

Ruan Qingqing turned her face away and quietly huffed.

How could he be so insolent?

The sun was setting in the west, casting a yellowish glow on the ground and reflecting their shadows.

In an unseen corner, the girl's lips curled.

Looking at it this way, it really seemed like she and Ji Mu were close~

"What a coincidence."

The peaceful atmosphere didn't last long, as it was soon interrupted by a sudden voice.

Situ Yan leisurely walked over from another path, "We meet again, little fairy."

Seeing him, Ruan Qingqing instinctively took a step back in disgust.

His unclean gaze swept over her face and chest, making her feel as if she was stained with filthy mud.

"Don't get too familiar, buddy."

Noticing the girl's extremely contemptuous expression, Ji Mu calmly expressed her thoughts.

"Acting like you're meeting a friend is rather embarrassing. You two aren't that close."

"That's right." The girl next to him obediently repeated, "I don't know you at all."

Situ Yan wasn't annoyed. His gaze continued to sweep over her, a mischievous smile on his lips.

"Don't worry, we'll get to know each other slowly."

"Apologies."

Trying her best to ignore the sickening feeling, Ruan Qingqing responded directly to the guy's teasing, "I have no intention of getting to know or interacting with the opposite sex."

Realizing that this might not be the best way to put it, she stepped forward and wrapped her arm around the boy's.

Strangely, the disgust in her heart suddenly subsided at that moment.

Her eyes curved into a smile and her voice softened involuntarily, ".....except for Mu Mu."

Uh, being close is one thing.

But can you not be so close once in a while? It's really strange.

The feeling of something soft and springy, like a freshly baked cake, transferred from his arm. Ji Mu suppressed the strange and uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that this maniac was present and he didn't want to embarrass the female lead, he would have pulled his arm away immediately.

"You two seem really close."

Noticing the girl's action, the smile on Situ Yan's face faded significantly.

"But being close doesn't mean that all is well. If certain needs aren't met, it can still cause problems in life."

He emphasized meaningfully.

"Little fairy, are you sure you don't want to try with someone else? My skills are at least much better than that sickly bookworm."

[Host, I checked. This guy's stamina is only 48.]

The system, with its intelligent electronic eye, saw through Situ Yan's details and exposed him directly.

[You can pin him down with one hand. I really don't know where he gets the confidence to say he's stronger than you.]

75 points in appearance, 48 points in stamina.

He was completely outclassed in every way.

After all, with 10 points being one level, Ji Mu's physique of 60 was naturally much stronger than others. It's not an exaggeration to say that even Ruan Qingqing's demanding attributes could be easily satisfied.

[No wonder Situ Yan could only be one of the male leads in the original story.]

It turns out that he is just a useless pretty face.

Ji Mu: Alright, you shut up first...

After the system interrupted, Ji Mu looked at Situ Yan with a hint of pity.

"People often want to show off what they lack the most, don't they?"

"Oh?"

Understanding the underlying meaning of Ji Mu's words, Situ Yan's dark pupils seemed to glow with a predatory light, as if ready to devour.

"Being good at studying isn't everything. If you keep provoking me with just that, do you really think I won't dare to touch you?"

Ji Mu said: "Oh, then you have a lot of patience. Do you want me to get you a prize?"

"Heh~"

Situ Yan chuckled softly, his arrogant and unruly face looking extremely sinister.

"How about we play a game? Next time we meet, you won't even be able to hold a pen."

Wow, being threatened, so scary🙄

“If you can't do it, don't talk so much. Aren't you afraid of getting a rotten mouth?'

The smile on Situ Yan's lips froze.

Seeing the growing tension between them, Ruan Qingqing looked at Ji Mu with a worried expression, but he remained completely unresponsive.

Although the black frame on the bridge of his nose covered his eyes, the cold indifference emanating from him could not be concealed.

What good is a dog barking? Only when it bites me does it count as a skill.

After speaking, he walked past someone with the girl, his indifference on full display.

...

Situ Yan stood there for a long time. Only after the two of them had completely disappeared did he bend his body slightly.

His face, hidden in the shadows, radiated madness and danger.

"Interesting, very interesting."

A light breeze blew, the trees swayed, and a man in a black suit suddenly appeared behind him, kneeling on one knee with his head slightly lowered. "Young Master."

"Ying Yi, have them prepare. We will act today."

He couldn't wait any longer.

"Little fairy, who told you to choose a man with such a sharp tongue?"

As the image of the girl's graceful figure and pure, breathtaking face flashed through his mind, the anger in Situ Yan's heart was replaced by another emotion.

Why haven't I met such a gem before?

Although there's a high chance that she's not a virgin, it's still tolerable.

After all, even though he's been with so many women, she's the first to arouse such a strong physical desire in him.

"Too bad - originally I wanted to be gentle with her."

But a thought crossed his mind: To be able to forcibly claim the little fairy right in front of Four-Eyes... Her face would be filled with despair and remorse.

A triumph over the mistake of a former wife, wow.

When I think about it, it feels so exciting!
