You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?-Chapter 36 - The Rising Dawn

In the afternoon.

Under a crooked tree in the schoolyard, Ji Mu leaned against the roots and rested with his eyes closed. Next to him, the system listed the various crimes of the novel's second male protagonist.

[Situ Yan, that arrogant jerk, is domineering and vengeful. In the original novel, there was a boy who just complained that he was a little wild, and this guy beat him into a vegetative state on the spot.]

"He's so arrogant. Isn't he afraid of the consequences?"

[Consequences, my foot. This guy has connections in the police department. No matter how much the boy's parents made a fuss, it was settled with some compensation and nothing more.]

[It is because of his unusual background that he acts so ruthlessly].

The system said with disgust.

[In the original novel, when he saw the female lead being bullied, he not only did not stop it, but also used it to force her to become his lover. If she didn't agree, he threatened to make her suffer even more than she already was].

[In the previous life, when Ruan Qingqing refused his coercion, that disgusting guy sent people to smash up the place where the female lead worked part-time. Not only did she lose her job, but the bullying at school also intensified.]

[As for him, he "coincidentally" appeared at the worst moment of the female lead's bullying, pretended to be a hero by chasing away the bullies, and then hypocritically comforted her. It's the classic "hit with a stick and then give a date" tactic to manipulate and control the female lead.]

No wonder he's on par with Fu Rongjing. This level of villainy has reached the peak of the T0 level.

Ji Mu couldn't help but comment, "The evening glow of the setting sun, the dawn of the rising east."

The system gave a thumbs up to his sharp criticism.

Accurate, correct, and to the point.

[Fortunately, this idiot didn't stay arrogant for long. In the previous life, after the female lead was blackened, he was the first to die.]

First, his genitals were cut off and fed to the dogs, then he was locked up by a dozen burly men and experienced the excruciating pain of his anus being torn apart. Finally, he was dismembered and died a gruesome death that was truly satisfying.

Ji Mu nodded in satisfaction.

This way of dying is fitting, a deserved end for someone like him.

The most anticipated episode where something happens to him. 🙏🏻

"Mu Mu."

A soft, sweet voice, melodious and gentle, like a breeze whispering in your ear.

Ji Mu looked up to see Ruan Qingqing running over. Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed from the practice.

No wonder it is said that beauties are pleasing to the eye.

When ordinary people run, it's just so-so, but this girl looked like a delicate willow swaying in the wind, graceful and enchanting.

She chose a spot to sit, resting her chin on one hand, her eyes curving into a smile as she handed the drink in her hand. "Your oolong tea."

"Thank you."

Ji Mu twisted off the cap and took a sip. The refreshing taste immediately swept away the dryness in his throat.

Quenching and not cloying.

Sugarless oolong tea is indeed the best. Those who drink low-sugar are practically heretics!

Finding a new angle, Ji Mu leaned back against the root of the tree, planning to take a short nap.

The breeze was light, making it the perfect time for a midday nap.

Ruan Qingqing, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a few seconds before quietly asking, "Mu mu, isn't it painful to rest the back of your head there?"

"Hmm? It's okay, I can manage."

"Then... do you want to sleep here with me?"

"???"

Ji Mu opened her eyes in confusion. The girl turned her head slightly, her fingers tugging at the hem of her skirt, a few strands of dark hair falling in front of her face.

The blue and white checkered skirt barely reached her knees, revealing a pair of slender, well-proportioned legs. Her smooth, fair skin would make anyone exclaim that those legs could be admired for years.

"At... at least... resting on my lap would... be more comfortable."

Ruan Qingqing's heart was racing. She tried to speak calmly, but her voice, as soft as a mosquito's buzz, betrayed her true feelings.

She was so shy that she could barely string her words together.

Ji Mu waved his hand, not because he didn't have anything to say, but because he had to refuse. "Forget it, I'm fine resting here."

"...Oh." (◞‸◟ )

[Tut tut, this is the first time I've seen someone feel disappointed after being rejected for offering to be a tool. Truly fitting for the kind and weak little white flower protagonist of the original story.]

The system found it quite refreshing to see the girl's series of little expressions.

[But this also proves that she really appreciates you as a good friend. She will happily run around for you all day long without complaining. Her personality is really great!]

To be fair, this was indeed the case.

Ji Mu agreed with the system's thoughts.

After spending this much time together, he couldn't find anyone who could be a better friend than Ruan Qingqing.

An exceptionally considerate girlfriend, isn't she?

Secretly, he looked at the girl next to him and decided that after eliminating the dislike value, no matter which boy she liked next, he would bring that person to her, even if he had to tie him up.

Only then would he be worthy of being her soul mate!

While he was planning this in his mind, the sound from the distance interrupted his thoughts.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

A group of girls were huddled together, excitedly discussing something.

"Is there a celebrity coming to school later? It's so loud."

"No." Ruan Qingqing, who had just passed by and overheard part of the conversation, shook her head.

Seemingly thinking of something she did not like, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"It's the school heartthrob, Situ Yan, who hasn't been to school for a while. He suddenly came back today."

Hmm?

Ji Mu became alert. "Situ Yan?"

"He's the flirtatious guy we met when we walked in the grove earlier." Ruan Qingqing thought he didn't know, so she explained.

"I see."

Ji Mu nodded and lowered his eyes.

Aside from his twisted personality and the outrageous things he's done, he is indeed handsome just by looking at him.

After all, he is one of the male protagonists of the original story. How could he not be handsome?

No wonder those girls were swooning like they were at a celebrity event. Girls at this age really go for the bad boy type.

Wait for it!

Speaking of which, the target of this mission seems to be a girl of this age as well.

Ji Mu realized the key point.

At this point, Situ Yan hasn't started acting crazy yet. With just his roguishly handsome face, he could indeed attract the interest of the female lead.

"Silly goose, what do you think of Situ Yan?"

"Hmm?" Ruan Qingqing was stunned for a moment. "He's okay, I don't know him very well."

"I see..."

Ji Mu nodded without much expression, but his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, "okay" basically means she's interested.

Doesn't that mean that the female lead is about to fall in love with him?

Damn it.

This can't happen!

"You seem to have a high opinion of him. Would you like me to get his contact information for you?"

He asked hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qingqing's beautiful willow leaf eyebrows furrowed. "Why would you say that, Mu Mu?"

She clearly didn't mean it.

"Based on your reaction earlier, it seemed like you cared about him, so I thought maybe..."

"I don't!"

The last words didn't have a chance to leave his mouth before the girl suddenly raised her voice to interrupt him.

Ji Mu was confused by her strange reaction. "Why are you so nervous? Even if you are interested, it's not..."

Thud...

His words were cut off in the middle.

Caught off guard, Ji Mu was suddenly pushed to the ground by the girl beside him.

Thick, dark hair cascaded down, and her long, curled eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. The fox-like eyes beneath them stared at him intently.

"I said..."

The rich scent of gardenias filled his nostrils as she spoke slowly, word by word.

"I am not."

Ji Mu was slightly stunned.

"I have absolutely no interest in Situ Yan, nor do I intend to pay any attention to him."

To clear up this baseless misunderstanding, her speech gradually accelerated.

"I only mentioned it to you because I overheard those girls talking about him when I passed by."

"Why... why would you think of me like that? Mu Mu, do you also think that I am a fickle and promiscuous woman like everyone else?"

In the end, the girl's eyes began to turn red.

She looked extremely pitiful, as if she had been deeply wronged.

Uh...

Noticing her emotional state, Ji Mu immediately softened his tone to explain.

"Sorry, I just heard some bad rumors about Situ Yan and wanted to warn you not to fall for his tricks."

This was the truth.

Situ Yan was not a good match. If the girl really fell for him, it would definitely lead to trouble.

Given his crazy antics, it was certain that Ruan Qingqing would end up turning black again, just like in the previous life, and the progress of the mission would be delayed.

Just thinking about this scenario made Ji Mu's headache.

Fortunately, the female lead didn't seem to be interested in Situ Yan.
