At the corner of the stairs, a boy ran down the stairs in two steps out of three, and Yun Yao, caught off guard, jumped into his arms.

The boy was initially angry, but when he saw the girl in his arms, he was startled and his heart skipped a beat.

"...Are you alright? Did I hurt you?"

Yun Yao shook her head, broke free from his hand, and turned to go upstairs.

The guy was still a little unsatisfied, so he immediately took out his phone, took a picture of her, and sent it to his group chat, asking if anyone knew this girl.

By the afternoon.

A boy found Yunyao's classroom and asked her to come out for a moment.

The boy was sloppy and didn't wear his school uniform jacket properly; it was just loosely tied around his waist.

It was none other than the boy she had bumped into that morning.

He shoved a large bag of snacks into Yun Yao's hands, saying, "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought all sorts of things."

"I don't like it, you can take it all back."

"You don't like to eat them?" The boy was taken aback. "I thought girls all loved to eat snacks."

At least his previous girlfriends all loved to eat.

"Don't come to my class to see me anymore, it's not good if my classmates see us."

"After class this afternoon, do you want to go out for lunch together? I know a really good restaurant."

"I have something else to do this afternoon, maybe next time."

"Okay, let's make an appointment when you're free."

Yun Yao didn't plan to interact much with people outside of the storyline. "Class is about to start, I'm going back to the classroom."

[Host, no, this guy's name is Ke Ran. In the story, he got beaten up by the second male lead because he was bothering the female supporting character.]

However, in the story, he and the female lead are classmates. The female lead mentions a supporting female character in class, and he learns about her background. For fun, he deliberately tries to seduce her.

[...What a jerk! When we first met, he said he wanted to save her, but once he got tired of her, he said, "No wonder no one wants her, right?"]

[Yes.]

After school in the afternoon, Yun Yao followed Xie Xingchen. He took a taxi, and Yun Yao took one too and followed him.

The entrance to the underground boxing gym is very well hidden.

After getting off the bus, we turned into two alleys before finally arriving at a heavily rusted iron gate.

Yun Yao had no idea that such a place existed outside the bustling city center.

Xie Xingchen took out his phone and showed something to the scarred man at the door.

The scarred man let him in.

Xie Xingchen went in first, and Yun Yao followed right behind him. "I was with him. I just went to throw out the trash and didn't keep up with him."

Scarface's security procedure is: "Either you have him come out to pick you up, or you leave."

"..." Yun Yao didn't expect the boxing gym to be so strict; she thought she could easily sneak in.

Tongzi spoke up again, "Of course! This is an underground boxing gym; there's a lot of bloodshed and violence that you can't see in the open. People dying here is commonplace."

[…What should we do then?]

[If you ask me, host, just let him be. It's just a fictional world anyway, not a real person.]

However, in this world, Yun Yao doesn't just encounter paper figures that follow the plot; they all exist vividly around her.

Therefore, she couldn't just stand by and watch Xie Xingchen get hurt.

At this moment, a man wearing a black windbreaker walked out of the rain, his face was clear and his eyebrows and eyes appeared soft in the rain and mist, and he exuded a cool and aloof aura.

He greeted Scarface familiarly and then prepared to go inside.

But as soon as he took a step, he felt a pull on the hem of his clothes.

"Excuse me……"

The girl's eyes were clear and gentle, and she bit her soft lips with her pearly teeth, as if hesitating to speak.

"Can you take me in with you? I need to find my brother."

Pei Yanqing smiled knowingly, a roguish air about him. "...Okay."

"Thank you!" She blinked her beautiful eyes, pursed her red lips, and smiled faintly, exuding an indescribable charm and tenderness.

Pei Yanqing's Adam's apple bobbed, and his smile faded. "Go in."

"it is good."

As soon as you enter, the noise inside immediately assaults your senses.

In the dim light, men and women gathered together, drinking and laughing.

The surround sound system was deafening, and the music was deafening.

Do you know how to find your brother?

"what?"

Pei Yanqing whispered in Yun Yao's ear, "How are you going to find your brother?"

His warm breath tickled her ear. "...He's here to box. They must have a regular rest area, right?"

Pei Yanqing raised an eyebrow slightly, "Then I still suggest you don't go, it's very bloody."

"So I'm going... Could you please be a good Samaritan and tell me how to get there? Please."

Her eyes were wet and misty, making her look pitiful.

Pei Yanqing is not one to meddle in other people's business.

He thought to himself, "Just this once."

He took a work ID out of his pocket and put it around her neck.

"Follow that road ahead, turn left, then go straight... Even if you get lost, don't worry, just ask someone wearing a work badge."

"Thank you." Yun Yao originally wanted to say that she would definitely help him if he needed any help in the future, but then she thought that she was just a student now, what could he possibly need her help with?

By the time she came to her senses, the person had already walked away.

[Host, this is the male lead, Pei Yanqing.]

[Oh, it was him...]

Yun Yao picked up the work ID hanging around her neck, which had Pei Yanqing's face printed on it, along with his current name—Wen Ze.

Following the directions given by Pei Yanqing, Yun Yao found Xie Xingchen.

He sat in the corner tying his wristbands.

The other people in the room... several lay on the floor, covered in blood, panting heavily.

The others, who were uninjured, went about their business without looking around.

Suddenly, Yun Yao noticed a suspicious person and asked someone to call Xie Xingchen out. The next second after Xie Xingchen left the room, he entered the room and closed the door.

A sense of tension rose in Yun Yao's heart.

She picked up her work ID and gestured to the staff near the room to open the door. "Wen Ze left something here, and he asked me to come and get it."

Although the staff couldn't understand why Wenze would leave something there, they still followed orders and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the person inside, who was making a fuss, was caught red-handed before they could stop.

The staff quickly stepped forward and restrained the man, shouting, "What do you think you're doing!"

Although this is an underground boxing gym, it still has its own rules.

Hearing the commotion, Wen Yuhan came over with her people.

Xie Xingchen also sensed something was wrong and rushed back.

Having achieved her goal, Yun Yao retreated to a dark place where the light could not reach her.

Wen Yuhan was stunned for a second when she saw Xie Xingchen.

She knew him; he was the school's recognized academic star and heartthrob, receiving scholarships year after year.

Whether it's a national or provincial innovation and entrepreneurship competition, any team that has his name on it wins the top prize every time.

Such an outstanding person would be completely out of Wen Yuhan's reach if she were still on campus.
