Ye Hao still didn't escape that tetanus shot. Although he always felt that his minor injury didn't need bandaging or a tetanus shot, he wished this time could be longer since he was accompanied by Lin Tongxue.
Even if Lin Tongxue was just acting in front of the doctor, the worried look in her eyes truly warmed his heart. He really wished Lin Tongxue could truly become his girlfriend!
After leaving the hospital, Ye Hao called for a car to take Lin Yan home first before returning to his own house.
Upon entering, as expected, the house was silent and empty. He closed the door, walked past the living room, and entered his own bedroom, closing the door. Ye Hao took off his school uniform jacket and threw it onto the chair in his bedroom, then lay down on the bed. Thinking about his time with Lin Yan today, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
However, his smile soon vanished. Who exactly wanted to harm Lin Yan! No, he had to find out who this person was and not let them have another chance to hurt Lin Yan!
Meanwhile, in Lin Yan's bedroom, Lin Yan was organizing her notes at her desk. She was doing so diligently, but in her mind, she was communicating with the system.
"System, did you confirm?"
"Confirmed. The group of people today was found by the male lead. He intended to perform a heroic rescue, but unexpectedly, Ye Hao beat him to it."
"Host, why would the male lead do that?"
"That's just how he is! The fact that he could pour all the blame onto the innocent Lin Yan back then shows what kind of person he is. He's someone who will do anything to achieve his goals, an extreme egoist." Lin Yan put down her pen and rubbed her eyes.
"The author wrote the novel from the perspective of the male and female leads, so naturally, they would portray them in the best possible light. After truly interacting with them, you can understand who they really are. The male lead's excessive confidence is truly disgusting!"
"Then... then what about Ye Hao?"
"What? Don't I just need to change Lin Yan's ending? Then finding a young boy to date or something wouldn't have any impact, right? After all, it's me who controls Lin Yan's life now!" Lin Yan laughed unrestrainedly.
"But he's just a minor villain!" The system truly didn't think Ye Hao was special, but it couldn't understand why the host treated him so specially the first time she met him today, even talking about dating. Her host had always been single in her own world!
"Isn't my white moonlight also a villain in the later part of the story? Villains and villains are a better match!" Lin Yan said with a hint of amusement in her voice. Some things were still uncertain, especially since she hadn't fully confirmed this matter. She couldn't let the system know, as the fewer people who knew, the better.
The final exams arrived after a period of intense revision. During this time, the male lead, Gu Ting, kept making his presence felt around Lin Yan. Even though they weren't in the same class, he would bring her a cup of hot milk tea or hot coffee every morning.
Rumors of Gu Ting pursuing Lin Yan also spread throughout the school. However, Lin Yan rejected him, citing her commitment to not dating before the college entrance examinations. Nevertheless, their relationship visibly grew closer. Everyone had an unspoken understanding that once the college entrance examinations were over, they would surely become an enviable couple.
The female lead, Tian Tian, also deeply believed these rumors. She was heartbroken but powerless to stop it. Many times, she felt an urge to confess to Gu Ting, but she also understood that it would be futile.
During this period, she had many chance encounters with Gu Ting, but he simply didn't remember her. To Gu Ting, she was just a stranger! Watching the person she loved pursue his own love, Tian Tian felt heartache but silently blessed them in her heart. Even though she sometimes wondered if they would break up, she didn't want to see Gu Ting sad.
"Tian Tian, are you alright?" Li Qian asked worriedly, looking at the pale girl in front of her. She understood her best friend's secret crush on the school hunk, but now that he was so close to Lin Yan, everyone said they would end up together. Even the teachers, fearing it would affect their college entrance exams, hadn't intervened.
"Qian Qian, I'm fine. I'll definitely get good grades next year for the college entrance exams!" Tian Tian said resolutely. "I've given up on Gu Ting, since he's already with Lin Yan, I definitely don't have a chance. But even without Lin Yan, I don't think I would have had a chance." Her voice lowered.
"Tian Tian, don't think like that! You're actually very good yourself, with a good temper, cute looks, and good grades. It's his loss that Gu Ting doesn't see it!" Li Qian comforted her. In truth, she knew these were just words of comfort. With their current grades, after the college entrance exams, they likely wouldn't have the chance to be in the same school as people like Gu Ting and Lin Yan again.
"Thank you, Qian Qian! We both have to work hard. Next year, we'll both get into the universities we want, and then we'll be good friends for life!" She clasped Li Qian's hand.
"Mmm-hmm, let's work hard together!"
Lin Yan was unaware that the female lead had temporarily put the male lead aside and was preparing to study hard for a good university. She was currently dealing with Ye Hao, who had blocked her path.
"Classmate Ye, is there something you need from me?" Lin Yan asked, looking at the person blocking her way without speaking.
"Classmate Lin, do you really want to... want to be with Gu Ting?" Ye Hao asked hesitantly, but his tone was filled with suppressed anger.
"I remember I already rejected him. And I said I wouldn't date before the college entrance exams, and that includes you, Classmate Ye Hao!" Lin Yan said with a smile. But the smile quickly faded.
"I... I, you... you know?" Ye Hao's ears turned red.
"So, Classmate Ye Hao, do you have anything else?" Lin Yan inquired.
"It's good that you're not with him. I found out earlier that the thugs who blocked you last time were hired by him. He's not a good person." Ye Hao's gaze drifted, avoiding the girl's eyes.
"I'm aware of that." Lin Yan's face turned serious. "I still want to have a peaceful high school life, which is why I haven't provoked him. I believe you can understand that."
"Actually, you don't have to compromise yourself like this. I can help you deal with him," Ye Hao said eagerly.
"No need, and this isn't your main task, Classmate Ye. I don't want to not see you at school because of him." Lin Yan looked at the boy whose earlobes were red and a smile reappeared on her face. "Classmate Ye, shouldn't you be considering that with your grades, you won't be able to get into my university, and then we'll have to part ways, right?"
Lin Yan crossed her arms and teased the boy in front of her, then watched as his once faintly red face began to darken!
