He's obviously the villain, but the heroine is all for him?

"What happened?" Ling Yun saw that his mother seemed to understand and immediately sat up straight. "I'm 20 years old now, so I should know, right?"

"Xiao Yun, the waters of the imperial capital are very deep. Our Bai family is made up of women, so it is inevitable that we will be targeted by other families..."

"You're not trying to tell me that Zhou Jing's family was implicated because of our Bai family?"

Bai Shuyao parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the engine.

"Zhou Jing's grandfather was once our old man's bodyguard." Bai Shuyao recounted the story calmly. "Not long after our old man passed away, Zhou Jing's grandfather also died of illness, so you never saw them. Do you remember the renovation of our manor when you were a child? In fact, during that time, the situation was changing rapidly, and the aristocratic families were undergoing a major purge. We took you to the old house for refuge."

"Zhou Jing's father was also a soldier. He secretly protected you because of the old man's relationship, but things went wrong later. When you were only 8 years old... he died."

Ling Yun didn't say a word and fell into a long silence.

He didn't expect that his childhood friend's father and grandfather had such deep ties with the Bai family, especially that Zhou Jing's father died to protect him.

"Our Bai family gave them some money and allowed them to move out of the capital and live somewhere else. We were still in contact with Zhou Jing's mother, but they unilaterally severed that connection 10 years ago. Your grandmother also sent someone to check on them and found that they had moved again. When we asked their neighbors, they said they were all doing well. We just thought they wanted to stay away from the disputes, so we didn't bother them anymore."

Ling Yun leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath. After a long moment, he spoke again, "Is the money enough for living?"

"Don't worry about that. Your grandma isn't a stingy person. She'll never say no to her family. As long as they don't gamble or do anything illegal, that money will be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Your grandma's contact information hasn't changed, so if they run into any difficulties, they can still ask us for help." Bai Shuyao looked at Ling Yun's somewhat dejected expression and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about their family?"

"I dreamed of Zhou Jing last night."

"Actually, it's very easy to find a person's information now..."

"No, go to school so you don't get late."

Bai Shuyao nodded, started the car again and drove towards Haichuan University.

Ling Yun reached out and rubbed his eyes. He really wanted to see Zhou Jing again in the morning, but now he had no such idea at all.

"Xiao Xi, do you think Zhou Jing will become the 'protagonist' due to some circumstances?"

[Well, there are such "protagonists" types, but they might not be the same as what my brother has in mind.]

"Not the same?"

Ling Yun looked at the passing scenery outside through the car window. If it were him, if Bai Shuyao sacrificed herself to protect others, he would definitely feel resentment towards her - even if she was not wrong.

The car drove to the university gate. In order to ease the somewhat dull atmosphere, Bai Shuyao grabbed his wrist.

"Xiaoyun, do you still have swimming trunks in your room?"

"Oh, why are you asking this?"

"The weather has been nice lately, why don't you go swimming at your grandma's house this weekend?"

"I'll let it go. Let Sister Xuan accompany you."

"Hey, can't you just accompany me? Or do you think my old mother is an eyesore?"

Seeing that she was directly playing the emotional card, Ling Yun had no choice but to obey. In the end, Bai Shuyao kissed him on the face several times before he got out of the car.

The phone beeped, he picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xia Yuwei, asking him to look up.

He looked towards the door and saw a girl with an innocent face and a hot body standing there with her legs together and a sweet smile on her face.

Ling Yun glanced behind him feeling somewhat guilty, and seeing that his mother had already driven away, he quickly ran over.

"What a coincidence, you just arrived too?"

"Yeah." Xia Yuwei nodded slightly in response.

Ling Yun took her little hand. Although Xia Yuwei was a little shy, she still acquiesced to his behavior.

"Why aren't you wearing the new clothes I bought you today?"

"Ah? Shouldn't new clothes be washed first after buying them? They're still drying in the sun."

Ling Yun said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He pulled her towards the teaching building.

Not far away, a young man dressed in a flashy manner walked up to the two of them, surrounded by several followers.

"Hello, classmate Xia." The young man blocked the two of them and even ignored Ling Yun. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Hao."

[Name: Wang Hao]

【Age: 20】

[Favorability: -20]

【Combat strength: 10】

[Special: Rich Second Generation System (Blue): Bind to your biological father, share the same fate. Complete designated tasks to receive rewards.]

[Identity: Protagonist of "The Second Generation of the Imperial Capital"]

[Recent opportunities: None]

[Luck: 600/600]

The second protagonist suddenly appeared, and he was a system-based protagonist!

Ling Yun pulled Xia Yuwei behind him and looked at Wang Hao with a forced smile: "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Who are you flirting with? Let me tell you." Wang Hao looked at Ling Yun with contempt. Ever since he bound himself to his father last night, the system directly rewarded him with 5 combat power points and a large sum of money, allowing his originally hollowed-out body to return to its peak condition!

In his eyes, an "ordinary" Ling Yun was not worthy of his special attention. The only way was to continue to complete the task according to the system requirements.

The system had assigned him a task in the morning. The task required him to successfully confess his love to a beautiful woman with a rating of B or above. The task reward was a sum of money, which was enough for him to live a carefree life for a while.

Naturally, he was aiming for the best and wanted to win the A+ grade school beauty Xia Yuwei.

Ling Yun naturally recognized him. There were many talented people in the school, but it was rare to find someone as dancing and showy as him.

His father, Wang Tianba, had managed to make it into the upper echelons of the imperial capital's business world, but he had only just reached the threshold. He was still a world away from Bai Shuyao, let alone fighting the entire Bai family.

But the silly boy in front of him seemed to have no idea what kind of wall he had kicked.

"Xia, I fell in love with you at first sight. Can you be my girlfriend?"

He waved to the side, and a younger brother immediately ran over with flowers.

The students nearby also slowly gathered around, ready to watch a good show.

Wang Hao is very confident in himself. Although he is not as tall or handsome as Ling Yun, he believes that money can solve everything. A girl like Xia Yuwei, who comes from a poor family background, may be able to get her just by moving his fingers.

He thought that even if Xia Yuwei disagreed, she would at least be polite to him and say something like she had a boyfriend. Then he could use money to humiliate Ling Yun, gradually increase the price to make him leave Xia Yuwei, and let the girl see the true character of this pretty boy.

Everything was just in his fantasy. He couldn't wait to see Ling Yun's handsome face, which made him jealous, reveal a helpless and greedy expression.

"roll!"

The shout of "get out" not only stunned Wang Hao, but also the students around him were dumbfounded.

Because this was not said by Ling Yun, but came from Xia Yuwei's mouth.

"Get out of here now! I feel sick just by looking at you!"

Xia Yuwei hugged Ling Yun's arms tightly. She was not so angry at first, but when she saw Wang Hao's contemptuous attitude towards Ling Yun just now, she suddenly became furious.

"Heh, how much money do you think your boyfriend would leave you for?"

Wang Hao was scolded by Xia Yuwei in front of so many people, and he lost all face, but he suppressed his anger and prepared to implement the plan he had thought of.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in money."

Ling Yun was very satisfied with Xia Yuwei's attitude towards him and turned around to leave.

"20. If you leave Xia Yuwei, I will transfer 20 to you immediately!" Wang Hao stopped the two again.

Ling Yun turned a deaf ear to him and walked around him and continued forward.

"50!" Wang Hao refused to give in.

Seeing that Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei still had no reaction, Wang Hao finally gritted his teeth and growled, "One million, I mean it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar around. Most of the students had never even seen a million dollars in their lives, so how could Wang Hao just give it away?

"One million?" Ling Yun pretended to be shocked. "Wow, that's a lot! I'm almost tempted!"

Listening to his sarcastic words and recalling the series of balances she saw yesterday, Xia Yuwei could hardly hold back her laughter. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and quickly pulled Ling Yun away.

Wang Hao's face was already red with anger as he was watched by many people. Not only did he not succeed in pretending to be tough, but he was also being ridiculed. His teeth were almost broken and his fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.

"Brother Hao, Ling Yun must think you're talking nonsense and won't believe you have so much money."

The lackey immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "How about we find a chance and give him a good beating so he'll quit on his own accord?"

Wang Hao's eyes rolled and he immediately thought of a solution. He raised his head again and walked away arrogantly with a few followers.

Although he made a fool of himself, he was able to say in public that he would give someone a million yuan. Combined with his identity as a rich second-generation that he had previously publicized, even if other students felt ashamed in their hearts, they knew that they would never be able to catch up with his starting point in their lifetime.

After Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei walked into the classroom, the girl finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and she lay on the table and trembled.

Ling Yun couldn't help laughing, but his good upbringing helped him regain his composure. He looked at Xia Yuwei's soft body swaying with interest.

Xia Yuwei quickly realized something was wrong. After noticing Ling Yun's gaze, she quickly sat up and covered her eyes with her hands.

"What are you looking at, pervert!"

"It's only natural for me to look at my girlfriend?" Ling Yun put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the side of her cheek. "You're so beautiful, it's fine if others can't look at you, but why can't I?"

Xia Yuwei was not as shameless as him, she just pouted and glared at him.

This glance made Ling Yun's heart burn, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yuwei, come with me to see a movie tonight?"

Watching a movie? Xia Yuwei knew that Ling Yun was only pretending to be watching a movie and was really trying to take advantage of her.

But seeing Ling Yun's eager eyes, she felt embarrassed to refuse and could only nod slightly.

"But I have to tell my mother, and I must go back tonight."

"It must be quite late after the movie, can you still take the subway or bus?" Ling Yun saw that she was hesitant and said, "How about I ask the driver to take you home tonight? She's also a woman."

The girl was a little reluctant, and Ling Yun held her in his arms and persuaded her for a long time before she reluctantly agreed.

After a while, Xia Yuwei couldn't help but ask, "Lingyun, do you want to sleep with me?"

Ling Yun almost choked on his own saliva. Is his purpose so obvious?

"Don't talk nonsense, I just want to get to know you better, that's all."

"I can see it all..."

Ling Yun then remembered that Xia Yuwei possessed the purple-quality "Seven Apertures" and could see through other people's emotions.

It seems that next time I want to do something bad, I should restrain myself, or at least appear to be great and righteous on the surface.

"Yes, that's what I think." Ling Yun stopped pretending and asked, "May I ask what my lovely school beauty Xia thinks?"

"Too fast, Lingyun..." Xia Yuwei looked down at her hands held by Lingyun, "We just established our relationship, isn't it too fast?"

"Some people get married after just one meeting, how can we even begin to understand each other?"

"But, if I give it to you so quickly, will you not cherish it?"

"Does it have to take six months or a year to be considered fast?"

"But I, but I haven't come into contact with it yet... I'm a little scared..."

Seeing her like this, Ling Yun stopped, lest things become too extreme. He gently comforted Xia Yuwei, gradually dispelling her concerns.

It seems that there is no time to rush. My first graduation will most likely be with Sister Xiaohui.

Today was a full day of classes, and the last class ended at around 5pm. Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei went out to eat and watch a movie. Ling Yun kissed Xia Yuwei in a corner of the cinema, making the girl's face as red as if it was burning.

[Due to his brother's close relationship with the "female protagonist" Xia Yuwei, the "protagonist" Wang Hao's luck has been reduced by 50 points, currently 550/600!]

Listening to Xiaoxi's prompt voice in his ear, Ling Yun squinted his eyes and glanced at a young man wearing a baseball cap in the front rows.

It seems that Wang Hao is not going to give up, but he also doesn't plan to let the other party go.

After watching the movie, Ling Yun and Xia Yuwei deliberately chose a small path that few people walked on, wanting to see if Wang Hao could get through.

Sure enough, when they reached the middle of the path, two ruffian-looking young men came from the front.

Xia Yuwei felt a little nervous and held Ling Yun's hand tightly.

A few more people came from behind and blocked the roads in front and behind them.

Looking at the baton and butterfly knife in the other party's hand, he took out his phone and dialed 120.

"Hello, is this the emergency center? I'm in Pi Tiao Alley. Um, there are five patients here who need treatment... How serious are they?" Ling Yun looked up at the people approaching. "Someone with a broken bone."
