School Cafeteria (No.2)
I quite remember Ye Qingyan is working part-time in this cafeteria! Jiang Fan walked toward the window he remembered.
He observed that the window from which to purchase the food is not too far from his location with a serpentine winding queue.
The key point was that they were all men.
Why such a long explanation then?
First of all, it was not an old middle-aged aunty who was doing the service, but it was a young and attractive junior.
This was Ye Tian's younger sister.
And Ye Qingyan, known as one of the school five great beauties, was dressed quite simply and looked so innocent.
Many otaku had her as the 'ordinary girl school beauty' and voted her as the goddess whose kill rate was highest.
At least she didn't have that elevated, sacred'being-unknowable, nature-of-royaltyabout her like other school beauties.
Ye was reportedly from a very poor family, so she had to work part time to support her tuition and living costs.
In reality, for a girl of her appearance, there would have been no inability to extricate herself from her penurious picture, had she joined to any big brother.
However. Since the beginning of the school year.
Ye Qingyan didn't experience any scandal, and even those well-off second-generation heirs always fell on the return trip when hitting on her.
Just a ballad school beauty huh? Not to bad..
What Jiang Fan noticed, his lips curled a little at the corners, the faintest trace of a smile upon them.
Having been a Villain himself, he had to convince the Protagonist's sister, no doubt.
Not to mention she was such a beautiful, touching and innocent Junior....
However, Jiang Fan was a little upset, deliberating how to get along with Ye Qingyan.
"Given that so many well-to-do second generation children have failed to bring anything back, it looks like giving her money would be useless."
"What about drugging her?"
"Unfortunately, I'm a Villain and I can't do such villainy and wretched activities."
"However... if the soft approach doesn't work, then, perhaps this isn't out of the question!":.
"That's what a Villain would do!"
If Ye Qingyan was unshaken by both the light and heavy blows, then he should not complain about him taking side route.
Hehehe! It would be also worth nothing that even though one can associate multiple pieces of information with a vocabulary item, they can only be activated one at a time....
Half an hour later.
Ye Qingyan left work finally. Then she has to work again in the outside of the school.
But before Jiang Fan even had the opportunity to strike up a conversation, he was beat to it by another wealthy second generation heir.
"Hey classmate, did you want something?"
Ye Qingyan looked at the person who had abruptly blocked her way then in a weak tone asked,
"Qing Yan, will you be my girlfriend?"
The man took the bouquet of roses out of his bag and went down on his knees straight away and announced.
Hey!
This part of the performance immediately drew the attention of the students around who were getting their meals and they crowded around to watch.
Isnt that Lin Bai? I've heard his family is very ambitious. With a bit of money, he walks around with his nose up in the air and looks down on others!
"They say this man is heaven to all beauties; he's practically trailling every academy beautiful!"
What's the use? Those current school beauties have such high standards. How could they possibly give the son of an upstart like him a second glance?
"I didn't think I hope this guy to target recently school beauty Ye. Sure to be rejected without a doubt!"...
He was at a loss under the stunned eyes of the people around.
She knew Lin Bai very well; he had already asked for her phone number five or six times.
She had refused him most diplomatically everyime.
But this time she...
As he watched Ye Qingyan tears welled up from her eyes. Lin Bai snickered.
He was fully prepared this time; he had already asked earlier about Ye Qingyan's temper.
When she went to busy places she would become so nervous she couldn't say anything.
Hence, Bai Lin admitted herself in the public deliberately in the hope that she, being weak and shy, wouldn't know how to refuse.
It had a tinge of moral duress.
"Qing Yan, will you be my girlfriend? I promise I will treat you well and love you forever!"
As icing on the cake, Lin Bai pretened being deep but sweet-natured and whispered blindly.
And then the actors with him on the sideline yelled in excitement and told Ye Qingyan to agree.
"Say yes!"
"Yes! Please!"
"Say yes come on say yes!"...
After witnessing this scene, Jiang Fan was lost for words, he knew Ye Qingyan.
He was a little shy, to be honest he was kind of naive and adorable.
He had not had any idea she was so daft, could he just not turn off the recorder when someone was confessing?
This resulted in her being so shy she couldn't even speak; I can't believe that someone with such a personality isn't bullied!
Still, her miserable expression really made one's heart ache.
Jiang Fan was not aware of this confession scheme, otherwise he would have begun to rescue long ago.
Indeed most of the story of the novel, focused on the Protagonist, so he didn't really care about the other stories.
Furthermore, there was a vast difference between the novel and the real world.
He couldn't overlook that his own visual could have resulted in a butterfly effect and altered some of the plot points.
This was also a lesson to Jiang Fan.
Do not
presume yourself to have foreknowledge or of the future, and so do a foolish action: for, if you do, you may be dead at the time, before you ever perceive how it happened.
He was aware this world was not straightforward; it held numerous formidable ancient beasts.
"I think it's my time to shine…"
Jiang Fan turned to gaze at stunned-looking Ye Qingyan and shook his head silently.
…
"Qing Yan, if you remain silent then I will interpret that as a definite yes!" Lin Bai said excitedly.
He reached out and tried to pull her forward to him.
But Ye Qingyan dodged him, she was still a little naive but definitely not stupid;
She knew that the rich second generation of Lin Bai would not be good people, they were all bad because they saw she was pretty.
"No… I'm sorry, classmate but I... I don't have plans to date at the moment!"
Finally, Ye Qingyan gathered up her nerve and nervously shot down Lin Bai's confession:
Huh?
On hearing this, Lin Bai's smile instantly froze; why was it so different from what he had pictured?
Logically, shouldn't Ye Qingyan be unable to chase the girl away to successfully conquer her?
Public rejection instantly set off a shame that made his fury flaring.
"Oh you f*cking b*tch, you have the cheek, rejecting me like that"
Having become rejected, Lin Bai showed his nature; with an angry expression, he clung onto Ye Qingyan's arm.
Finally, unable to contain himself any longer; the previous failed admissions had finally exhausted all his patience.
I have also examined your family: a limp mother, an addict father, and a useless little brother!
Your family is indebted so much that your mother has to pay huge bills monthly!
"Considering the pittance you're earning off your part-time jobs every day is useless in the enormous hole your family is in!!"
As long as you agree to be my woman Oh, never mind 1 million or 5 million ... You can name your price!...
You... what are you doing? Please, let me go!
Seeing Lin Bai who was furious and holding tightly to him, Ye Qingyan was so frightened and wept bitterly.
Her face was rain-bashed with tears, and her pathetic look called forth countless sympathies from anyone who saw her.
Especially when Lin Bai revealed her family situation, Ye Qingyan who was always courageous, had a breakdown.
Exactly.
Lin Bai was correct!
The pittance she brought home every day from her hard work at various part-time jobs meant nothing next to her family's bottomless pit.
She couldn't have filled it by herself.
Actually, once long time ago, a huge big boss liked Ye Qingyan and paid 10 million hoping to keep her as his mistress.
As, one had to understand this huge amount of 10 million she could put her family out of this trouble.
But Ye Qingyan was not fooled; she didn't want to be a caged bird. She wanted to take charge of her life.
However, centuries of perseverance had taken their toll on her body and mind. Her heart was giving in and she was starting to question herself.
Did her persistence even have a point?
