The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

Inside the martial arts school.

"bang bang bang"

The sound of fists hitting the sandbag grew louder with each strike.

Yan Ting could hear the echoes of boxing from inside just by standing at the door.

She didn't go in immediately, but stood at the open doorway and looked up.

The martial arts gym was very spacious. Chen Xiao was facing away from her, shirtless, wearing black leggings that outlined his long legs. With each powerful punch he threw, his back muscles bulged, and his arms were even more muscular, exuding a strong masculine aura.

Yan Ting's gaze lingered on the scars on Chen Xiao's back.

A subtle, unsettling feeling crossed my mind.

She thought that the scar was clearly left by a bullet.

How painful that must have been!

Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, because Chen Xiao, who was practicing his boxing, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and his eyes locked onto Yan Ting.

Yan Ting instinctively flinched.

That gaze was like a sharp, cold blade, piercing to the bone, sending chills down one's spine.

But next second.

That feeling then disappeared.

Yanting even thought that the look in her eyes just now was her imagination.

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Chen Xiao took off his boxing gloves. He had a black headband tied around his forehead, and his pink hair was all combed back into a slicked-back style.

Chen Xiao looked more youthful and unrestrained than before.

Yan Ting couldn't help but blink for a moment.

Faced with such beauty, she simply couldn't remain calm and unperturbed.

"Come here." Chen Xiao has always been energetic since he was a child. When he was young, he liked to release his energy by fighting underground boxing, racing, rock climbing and fighting.

So whenever he has free time, he will practice boxing and fighting.

When Yan Ting saw Chen Xiao beckon to her with his finger, she seemed to be bewitched and walked forward until she was right in front of him.

At close range, Yanting could clearly see Chen Xiao's hair and hairline, which were soaked with sweat.

"unhappy?"

Yan Ting's attention was focused on the sweat dripping from Chen Xiao's hair. In a daze, she blinked and said, "Wipe your sweat."

Chen Xiao squinted.

He paused for two seconds.

He curled his lips and said, "You wipe it for me."

Chen Xiao had prepared himself for Yan Ting to be shy, hesitant, or perhaps to let him wipe himself, but he didn't expect Yan Ting to actually take the white towel from the side and wipe him carefully.

"..." Inevitably, Chen Xiao's heart was touched.

He lowered his eyelashes and watched the girl carefully wiping the sweat from his face. Her movements were very gentle, and because they were so close, he could even clearly smell the fragrance emanating from her.

An uncontrollable restlessness spread through my heart.

Sudden.

Yan Ting's fair wrist was encircled by a large, burning hand. She was stunned, and then she heard Chen Xiao's deep and restrained voice in her ear: "It's okay."

Yanting was a little confused.

However, she didn't say anything, but put down the towel.

Just as Yan Ting turned to the side, her eyes inadvertently paused on a certain spot, and then she abruptly turned her back, her cheeks and ears instantly turning red.

The sound of heartbeats was deafening.

This was the first time Yanting had ever encountered such a scene.

For a moment, she didn't know how to react; her mind went completely blank.

Tan Yi's words, spoken subconsciously, suddenly surfaced in Yan Ting's mind:

"Men with plenty of energy are also very effective in bed."

"One more thing to look for is someone with a high nose bridge."

Chen Xiao's nose is indeed very high, straight and prominent, comparable to those of people from Europe and America.

wrong.

She's thinking all sorts of nonsense.

Yanting patted her face to clear her mind.

Little did she know that Chen Xiao found her action incredibly adorable.

"What are you thinking about?" A short, light laugh came from behind.

Yan Ting composed herself, turned around, and said with a serious expression, "I wasn't thinking about anything."

"Really?" Chen Xiao asked with a half-smile. "Then why are your ears so red?"

"..." Yan Ting choked for a moment, then said stiffly, "It's hot."

The sun was indeed quite hot today, so she wasn't lying.

Chen Xiao looked at her for a while, but didn't expose her. He just asked, "Unhappy?" He repeated the question he had just asked.

Yan Ting frowned. "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that it's a little hard to understand."

"Oh." Chen Xiao deliberately drew out the last syllable, tapping his jaw slightly: "Because of Lu Huai?"

Yan Ting was stunned: "You know."

Chen Xiao took a sip of mineral water and said casually, "I know everything about you."

Lu Huai went to the Tan family to interrogate them about this matter, and Chen Xiao knew about it even earlier than Yan Ting.

When Lu Huai asked the hackers to search for Yan Ting, Chen Xiao directly blocked them.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't a real hacker; he was just a figurehead in The Matrix. Those more skilled than him were top hackers, but these top hackers were dedicated to serving the president.

Someone of Lu Huai's caliber can't hire a hacker of this caliber.

You can't hire them even if you pay them.

"So what if he knows you're here?" Chen Xiao sneered. "He can't take you away." His relaxed tone contained arrogance, conceit, and unwavering confidence in his own strength.

The villa is surrounded by a security system, with special forces and mercenaries secretly lurking around it. In addition, he has also specially enhanced the system's defenses with data code.

Even if Lu Huai really comes looking for us, there's nothing to worry about.

Yan Ting looked at the person in front of her and felt that he looked so dazzling. Her heart was pounding. After a long while, she said softly, "But Chen Xiao, I can't always stand behind you and be protected by you."

More importantly, she doesn't want Chen Xiao to be innocently implicated because of her.

Even though Chen Xiao was more powerful than she had imagined.

But Yanting couldn't let herself squander Chen Xiao's sincere feelings for her.

Besides, she still has to grow up eventually.

Yanting cannot stay here forever.

Her future is long, long enough for her to experience all sorts of people and things, both expected and unexpected.

She understood this principle, and Chen Xiao naturally understood it as well.

"Chen Xiao" is no longer the cold, impersonal title of Mr. Chen.

Since accepting Chen Xiao's advances, Yan Ting's mindset has gradually begun to change.

Try to embrace new feelings and a new future.

Chen Xiao stared at Yan Ting without saying a word.

He listened quietly to what the other person was about to say.

Yan Ting curved her lips into a smile, her dimples appearing and disappearing. "I'm sorry I can't agree to be with you right now, because it would be very unfair to you. I've just climbed out of the abyss of a relationship, and I'm not sure if I can handle your feelings. After all, the future is uncertain."

“But,” she changed the subject, speaking sincerely, “thank you for appearing in my life, for saving me from danger time and time again, and for letting me truly experience what it feels like to be loved.”

Chen Xiaoya's black eyelashes trembled slightly, and his thin lips were just about to open when a soft index finger pressed against them. "Shh, listen to me."

“You said before that you would create a world that belongs to just the two of us. I think the weight of a world cannot be borne by just one person. I also need to try to bear the weight of the other half of the world.”

Yan Ting's eyebrows and eyes were curved.

Little did she know that as she spoke those words, a faint white light suddenly emanated from her body. Although the light was very faint, the system still keenly detected it.

That was the heroine's destiny.

It had been wondering before that, since the male protagonists, who were also protagonists of the world, all possessed the fortune bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, why the female protagonists did not.

Previously, it was speculated that the female lead's luck might be hidden, which was why it couldn't be seen.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Luck also comes in different colors.

The purer the color, the more pure and kind the person is.

Chen Xiao's aura was deep purple, and purple has always been a very noble color.

Even in metaphysics, this is a rare sight.

A person with such good fortune is destined to be a chosen one.

The system speculates that the host might be the only male protagonist in his world.

However, this world has five male protagonists, and the world's fortune is distributed among the five people, which is bound to be unbalanced.

The female lead was the only one who looked pitiful, with incredibly weak luck. If it hadn't been for its sharp eyes, it probably wouldn't have been able to see her at all.

Over the past two months, the system has gradually come to realize, along with its host, that the female protagonist is a living, breathing person with flesh and blood.

She can laugh, cry, get angry, feel sad, and get hurt.

She is no longer the stereotypical female lead in those few melodramatic and tragic novels.

The system was even somewhat confused.

Although Yanting was speaking to its host, it felt as if she was speaking to it at a certain moment.

I'm smiling at it.

She poured out her sadness to it.

really weird.

It actually felt a little sad.

I'm not feeling sorry for it.

Instead, I felt sorry for her.

The system struggles to understand this feeling.

After all, it was born without feelings.

It's just a string of cold, hard data.

++++

Time flies, and it's already the end of September.

The weather is gradually becoming less hot than before.

Yanting returned to her new house a few days ago.

That day, Chen Xiao suddenly had an urgent matter to attend to, so he asked the housekeeper to personally escort her back.

Yan Ting didn't stand on ceremony and returned to Furong Street in a low-key yet luxurious Audi.

The housekeeper was very considerate; he not only escorted her home but also helped Yanting bring the express parcels and cardboard boxes outside the door into the house.

Before Yan Ting could even express her gratitude, the butler pulled out a business card: "Miss Yan, this is my business card. My number is on it. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

Yanting accepted the card, somewhat flattered: "Thank you, Uncle!"

The butler was a well-traveled man. He had accompanied Master Chen to banquets and parties of all sizes and had met many important figures, including the president.

This makes him very accurate in judging people.

In particular, those with shallow understanding can see through a person's true nature with just one glance.

So when he first saw Yanting, he knew she was a rare and wonderful girl.

She is kind and innocent by nature, intelligent and quick-witted, and knows how to conduct herself appropriately in all her interactions with others.

She and her husband, Master Chen, couldn't be more of a match.

"Oh, right, this is a gift that my husband, Mr. Chen, asked me to prepare specially." The Audi's trunk opened automatically, revealing a dazzling array of luxury goods, including handbags, gold and silver jewelry, clothing from major brands, and various skincare and cosmetic products.

Yan Ting: "..."

"Isn't this a bit too much?" she said, somewhat helplessly.

The butler, however, was unfazed: "It's nothing, this little bit is just a drop in the ocean for Master Chen."

"And Miss Yan, you should know that a man can't truly pursue a girl by just saying sweet words and sweet talk. That's not pursuing her, that's being a scoundrel."

Real money is the most tangible thing.

Yan Ting was speechless.

She remembered that before she left, Chen Xiao called out to her, "Wait."

"?" Yan Ting sat in the Audi, looking at him through the car window with a puzzled expression.

Unexpectedly, the man threw a black card at her.

Yan Ting picked it up and saw that it was actually a top-level black membership card.

It seems that you can use it at any high-end venue, hotel, or luxury store around the world.

"Take it." Chen Xiao didn't even give her a chance to refuse. Instead, he put his hands in his pockets and said slowly and deliberately, "Remember, I'm pursuing you now."

Yan Ting swallowed her initial refusal and whispered, "How can you pursue someone like that?"

Just throw money at her.

Although everyone loves money, it's rare to see someone like Chen Xiao who throws money at someone without batting an eye.

Chen Xiao stared directly at Yan Ting, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly: "From now on, use this card when you go out."

"I know whether you swipe or not." He will receive a text message.

Yanting couldn't help but say, "I have my own money."

Chen Xiao glanced at her and scoffed, "Your little bit of money isn't even enough for a fraction of this card's value."

"..." That hurts.

“I don’t need you to save me money,” Chen Xiao stepped forward, a smirk playing on his lips. “Spend it as you please. If you spend it all, then my little girl is really capable.”

Yan Ting's lips twitched slightly.

Why do I feel insulted?

-

After watching the butler leave, Yanting breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had just turned around when she caught a glimpse of a kitten out of the corner of her eye.

Yan Ting looked closely and realized it was the same Persian cat from last time.

The Persian cat seemed to have seen her too; it tilted its head and meowed a few times in her direction.

Yan Ting's heart melted instantly.

"Little Darling." She crouched down and softly meowed like a cat, "Come here, Little Darling."

This Persian cat, perhaps because it was a domesticated animal, wasn't afraid of people. It scurried up to Yanting and kept rubbing its head against her fingertips.

She rubbed against him while acting cute.

Yan Ting glanced at the neighboring courtyard, only to find the door locked. "Little Darling, where is your master?"

"Meow?" The Persian cat licked its paws, its bright green eyes shining as beautifully as emeralds.

Yanting, carrying the Persian cat, arrived at the gate of the neighboring family's courtyard.

She knocked on the door.

But no one responded.

Yanting felt something was strange.

Then she suddenly noticed a card posted next to the door.

Yanting tore off the card, which contained only two simple sentences: "Could you please ask my new neighbor to feed my cat? I will be very grateful when I return."

"..."

This owner is a bit unreliable!
