After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 75: Over Here, the Villain Waits for a Background Character

Yu Li used to think that Bo Jingmo’s flawless facade must’ve come naturally to him.

After all, he didn’t need to maintain that perfect persona in front of everyone. Even if he acted like his real self, nobody would care.

But after this time-travel jump, she started sensing something... off.

“Villain, huh…”

She closed her eyes and mulled over those two words. In this world, Bo Jingmo already knew how to put on an act.

So all those behaviors in their past life—did he bring them from here?

In this place, he had to constantly care about how others saw him, keep suppressing his true self. Only in the game could he experience a sliver of freedom.

So it wasn’t some inborn ability—it was a long-ingrained habit.

Years of repression… that twisted into something downright unhealthy.

She let out a soft chuckle. “Interesting, Bo Jingmo.”

The villain in the book escaped into the real world—and dragged her along for the ride.

Now, this world might just have two villains.

That night, Yu Li didn’t enter the scenario.

She figured this instance must allow some rest time. Honestly, this was the first good night’s sleep she’d gotten since she arrived.

Too bad that peace shattered completely with her 8AM class the next morning.

Leaning on her hand, she looked drowsy and barely awake. The teacher was droning on at the front of the class when her phone screen lit up beside her—it was a message from Bo Jingmo.

He’d sent over the info on that little kid and the current lesson progress, telling her to look it over when she had time.

Yu Li skimmed through the files and replied with an “OK.”

Then she saw the typing indicator flicker again. A few seconds later, another message came through:

[Bo Jingmo: Are you in class?]

[Bo Jingmo: I’ve got his old textbooks. When’s a good time for me to bring them to you?]

Staring at the message, Yu Li paused for a moment, slowly raising her brows.

Ever since she mentioned she had someone she liked online, this guy had been even more proactive than usual.

She let out a laugh and lazily typed back:

[Yu Li: Okayyy, Senior~ I have class till noon o(╥﹏╥)o. You can bring it anytime this afternoon.]

Bo Jingmo’s eyes flickered slightly when he saw that message.

[Bo Jingmo: I’m in class till then too. I’ll come to your building after.]

[Yu Li: Mm-hmm, sounds good~]

Yu Li sent him her building location. She twirled a pen between her fingers, smiling at their very student-style convo.

This kind of school romance wasn’t half bad.

Then she squinted, giving a silent tsk.

Too innocent. Kinda hard to make a move like this.

Once class ended, she packed up her stuff and went downstairs with her roommate. They hadn’t even started scanning for Bo Jingmo when they heard a burst of excited chatter nearby.

“Is that Bo Jingmo? What’s he doing over here? He’s not even in our department.”

“Probably waiting for someone? No idea who though. It’s my first time seeing him here.”

“You think he’s waiting for a girlfriend? But I haven’t heard anything about him dating. If he had a girlfriend, the confession wall would’ve exploded already.”

That convo sounded way too familiar.

Yu Li suddenly remembered a girl at her old company who was obsessed with romance novels. During lunch breaks, that girl would always have her phone out, telling Yu Li about whatever book she was reading.

“Every time I read those campus romances, the female lead walks out after class and bam—school heartthrob’s waiting downstairs. Everyone just stares at them. Omg—”

The girl would hug her phone, eyes dreamy. “I might be an office worker now, but back in school, I used to fantasize about this kinda stuff. Like, if a total hottie waited to pick me up for lunch after class… I’d seriously die from happiness.”

She even asked Yu Li, “Yu-jie, did you and your boyfriend meet in college? If you two were campus sweethearts with looks like that, you’d be all over the confession wall.”

Yu Li: “.........”

They met in a psychiatric hospital.

She smiled, shaking her head slightly. “Nope, not from school.”

Neither she nor Bo Jingmo had what you'd call a “normal” life path. They were never going to live out the typical sweet couple fantasy.

Funny how what she missed in real life was now being handed to her in a novel.

Just… not quite the way that girl had imagined.

Her version had the male lead waiting for the female lead.

Over here, it was the villain waiting for a background character.

The thought made Yu Li laugh. She followed the direction of the crowd’s gaze and spotted Bo Jingmo near the stairwell.

He was dressed casually with a jacket thrown over, head down as he looked at his phone. The breeze lifted a few strands of his hair, revealing those calm, aloof eyes. A sharp nose, perfectly sculpted side profile, tightly pressed lips—he had this untouchable, cold aura about him.

In his clean, slender fingers was a textbook. The luxury watch on his wrist gleamed under the sunlight. He glanced at his phone, then looked up—right as Yu Li turned to him.

His indifferent gaze froze for a second, then he curved his lips slightly and lifted the book in his hand in a small wave.

Yu Li was just about to wave back when her roommate turned around, wide-eyed. “Wait, am I seeing things? Is he waving at you?”

“Yeah,” she nodded, pointing at the book. “He’s just dropping that off for me.”

Xiao Jingqu knew Yu Li was in the student council, but she didn’t expect her to be this close with the president. She blinked, surprised. “Ohhh, okay then. Should we go on ahead?”

Yu Li made an “OK” gesture. “Bye-bye.”

Xiao Jingqu took a few steps before realizing their other roommate hadn’t followed. She turned back. “Cheng Si? You coming?”

Mu Chengsi was still staring at Yu Li’s back, expression thoughtful. “When did Yu Li get so close with Bo Jingmo?”

Xiao Jingqu blinked. “Aren’t they both in the student council? Maybe it’s for a task or something—he’s giving her some materials?”

“Yeah? Maybe I just forgot.”

Mu Chengsi brushed it off, glanced away, and slung her bag over her shoulder, walking off with Xiao Jingqu.

Meanwhile, Yu Li walked up to Bo Jingmo and took the book from him, flipping through a few pages before smiling up at him. “Thanks, Senior.”

She tucked the book into her bag, then looked at him still standing there and offered, “Wanna grab lunch together? My treat today—since you treated me yesterday.”

She wiggled her index finger and beamed. “Anywhere you want~”

Doesn’t matter—it’s still your money.

Bo Jingmo looked momentarily stunned, then a smile softened his eyes. His voice was gentle. “Wanna go somewhere off-campus? I’ll drive.”

Off-campus?

She had to admit—that was tempting.

Yu Li made a show of thinking, then nodded. “Sure, let’s go.”

Back then, whenever she and Bo Jingmo went out, it was usually kind of like checking off a list. She’d search online for reviews and recommendations—sort of like opening a mystery box. You never really knew what you were getting.

Sometimes, if Bo Jingmo had a good meal during a work dinner or social event, he’d remember the restaurant and bring her along later.

Yu Li went with the old routine—looked up a spot online and asked what he thought.

Naturally, Bo Jingmo had no objections, so they drove over to the place. Turned out, it was pretty popular—they had to take a number and wait in line.

While they were standing there, a familiar voice piped up behind them:

“Bo Jingmo?”

They both turned—and the familiar face made Yu Li pause for a second.

—It was Hou Liang and Jiang Xi.
