Chapter 31 The Bottom Line Has Already Been Set
The two of them played along with each other, and this crisis of cheating was smoothly resolved. However, since Qi Lin framed his classmate, his punishment was made even more severe.
Instead of calling just one parent, now both of his parents had to come to school.
“Pfft~”
Thinking about this bizarre punishment, Lan Yuxi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Class monitor, how does it feel to act like a white lotus?”
Qi Lin asked lazily, completely unfazed by Lan Yuxi’s teasing.
“Tsk! You’re the white lotus! This whole thing started because of you, and now you deserve to have your parents called in.”
Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at Qi Lin, showing no gratitude whatsoever.
“Heh~ Just got out of trouble, and now you’re getting all feisty. Looks like someone needs to be put in their place again.”
Qi Lin casually grabbed Lan Yuxi’s cool, delicate hand and played with it.
“You bastard! This is right outside the office!”
Lan Yuxi’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. She quickly shook off Qi Lin’s hand and ran towards the classroom. If she stayed with Qi Lin any longer, who knew what outrageous thing he would do next?
Yet, she didn’t even realize—she never even let Wang Cheng hold her hand before. But when Qi Lin held her hand, it somehow didn’t feel like a big deal.
Maybe Qi Lin had already broken through her bottom line. After all, he had already kissed her—what was holding hands in comparison?
········
“Really? Is that true?”
“That’s great! I knew it—there’s no way a girl as outstanding and righteous as you would cheat. It must have been that bastard Qi Lin framing you!”
Hearing Wang Cheng still calling Qi Lin a bastard, Lan Yuxi immediately knew that he still harbored resentment towards Qi Lin. For the first time, her expression became serious.
“I already promised you—if we both get into the same university, I’ll be your girlfriend. There’s no need for you to be jealous of Qi Lin anymore. Listen carefully—don’t cause trouble for Qi Lin ever again, or I won’t acknowledge you anymore.”
Thump!
Wang Cheng instantly understood—Lan Yuxi was absolutely serious this time. But her words also made it clear—she didn’t like Qi Lin. Her heart was still set on him.
Wang Cheng gritted his teeth. He could ignore anyone else’s words, but not Lan Yuxi’s.
“I... I promise you, okay?”
Wang Cheng said in a defeated tone.
Lan Yuxi’s approach was undoubtedly the right one. Qi Lin wasn’t just any ordinary person—he was a reborn villain with a system, and he had already blackened. How could Wang Cheng ever win against someone like that?
Laying low and staying out of trouble was the smartest choice. But neither of them could have imagined—Qi Lin and Wang Cheng’s enmity could never be resolved.
Being pinned to the ground, force-fed hot dry noodles in front of a crowd, and finally forced to jump to his death...
That kind of humiliation—only a saint would be able to forgive. But Qi Lin was no saint. On the contrary, he was a blackened, villainous second-generation rich kid.
What he wanted was for Wang Cheng to die. Even if Wang Cheng surrendered, admitted defeat, and compromised, Qi Lin would still make him suffer a fate worse than death—He would make him utterly ruined and abandoned by everyone before he could be satisfied. And, of course, there was one more crucial point.
The system had already told him—Qi Lin was living in a world that had fused multiple novel universes together. He had to completely shatter the protagonist’s halo in every single story.
Otherwise, in the end, he would still meet the same tragic fate as in his previous life.All of this had already determined that they would be lifelong enemies.
