Early the next morning.
Jiang Che woke up very early.
Jiang Yuan had already left for the office, and there was an exquisitely prepared breakfast on the coffee table.
There was also a card on the breakfast tray.
[Good morning, my dear wife. I prepared this breakfast with love]
Jiang Che: "......"
Well, well, so parents are true love, and children are just accidents?
After you both die, I'll bury one of you in the Antarctic and the other in the Arctic!
Jiang Che sighed, thinking of his adoptive mother who was still sound asleep.
He shook his head and walked downstairs.
Although the Jiang family was the wealthiest in the city, they didn't employ many servants. They only had Aunt Chen who was responsible for cooking, and regular cleaners who came to maintain the house.
"Young master, I've prepared your breakfast!"
Aunt Chen came out, appearing to be around forty years old.
She was about the same age as his mother but hadn't maintained her appearance as well, truly looking like an ordinary aunt.
"Hmm..."
Jiang Che nodded.
He ate some breakfast casually and then left.
......
Jiang Che and Ye Mengyao were in the same class.
And Ye Mengyao shared a desk with Yu Wan'er.
When Jiang Che appeared at the classroom door... many people were shocked.
How could Jiang Che arrive so early? Usually, he would skip the first two classes... sometimes he wouldn't even show up for the entire morning or even the whole day.
The key thing was that the school turned a blind eye to his behavior, after all, Jiang Che's family was one of the school's shareholders.
Both Ye Mengyao and Yu Wan'er looked at Jiang Che. Yu Wan'er's eyes held some hostility, while Ye Mengyao seemed somewhat confused.
She felt that something about Jiang Che had changed...
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
She could only lower her head and look at her book.
......
Soon, the first class began, and the homeroom teacher walked in.
"Good morning, students. Today we have a new classmate, Lin Yu."
As she spoke, a figure appeared at the classroom door.
A young man with a crew cut walked in, wearing jeans with large holes and a faded shirt.
However, his expression carried a hint of defiance.
"I'm Lin Yu."
Lin Yu stood on the podium and scanned the classroom, his gaze quickly falling on Ye Mengyao.
His eyes immediately lit up, and he swallowed hard.
This girl was even prettier than in the photos, full of youthful charm.
This was the target he was supposed to protect, but Ye Changkong had instructed him to conceal his identity.
To protect Ye Mengyao secretly.
At this moment, his attention was also drawn to the petite girl beside Ye Mengyao, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
What an adorable little girl, if he could have both of them... his life would be complete.
Then he surveyed the other girls in the classroom.
Students who could attend Shilan School, such an elite institution, generally came from wealthy families, and the girls were all dressed fashionably.
Lin Yu, who had just come down from the mountains and had only been keeping company with his right hand, was very excited.
...
After Lin Yu's self-introduction, he stepped down from the podium.
The awkward thing was... there were no empty seats in the classroom.
Lin Yu looked around for a while before finally setting his sights on Jiang Che.
Jiang Che had a desk to himself, and his position was very close to Ye Mengyao, just across the aisle.
At this moment, Jiang Che also noticed Lin Yu's gaze and inwardly complained.
He probably got targeted by the protagonist, right?
Sure enough, the next second Lin Yu walked towards him.
"Hey, get up and give your seat to me!"
Lin Yu looked down at Jiang Che with a superior attitude.
As soon as he said this, the entire classroom fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Some students began whispering among themselves.
"Hiss, is this new guy really so thick-headed? He dares to tell Jiang Che to get lost?"
"Doesn't he know Jiang Che is the son of the wealthiest family?"
"This guy must be an idiot, right? Coming in and telling someone to get lost right away? This kind of arrogant person... is either stupid or foolish!"
"We've got a show to watch, I bet this guy is going to get destroyed by Young Master Jiang!"
Lin Yu didn't care about others' opinions, for him... nothing was more important than showing off!
Besides women, showing off was his top priority!
Jiang Che was utterly speechless, who's the antagonist here, you or me?
Shouldn't I be the one saying such arrogant things?
[Ding! Host encountered Lin Yu's provocation, triggering villain choice]
[Choice 1: Shout "I'll be back!" then sheepishly give up the seat, reward: 'A Cuckold's Hat']
[Choice 2: Slam the desk, get angry in public, fight Lin Yu, then get beaten up, Ye Mengyao's favorability +5]
[Choice 3: Mock and ridicule him, infuriate Lin Yu, reward: skill 'All Subject Knowledge']
No-brainer, choose three!
Being a cuckold is impossible, he's always been the one making others cuckolds—
However, from the second choice, he could probably guess that he wasn't currently a match for Lin Yu.
In the original plot, Lin Yu's strength when he came down from the mountain was at the initial stage of Dark Force, easily able to fight ten people at once.
Yes, this world belonged to a low-level martial arts realm, with some powerful martial artists, but no immortal cultivators or the like.
Manifested Force, Dark Force, Transform Force...
He himself should barely be at the Manifested Force level now, but Jiang Che wasn't worried. After all, with the system and knowledge of the plot... if he couldn't take down Lin Yu, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
......
"I choose three, infuriate Lin Yu."
Sometimes words can hurt more than fists.
"Are you fucking stupid?"
Opening his small mouth, out came flowery language.
Jiang Che glanced at Lin Yu and started cursing directly.
"You—"
Lin Yu's eyes filled with rage as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
"What? You want to hit me?"
"I'm going to hit you!" Just as Lin Yu was about to act, the homeroom teacher couldn't sit still anymore.
This was no joke.
If Jiang Che got hurt in class, his position as homeroom teacher would be finished.
"Lin Yu! What are you doing? You're a transfer student on financial aid who doesn't work hard... and now you want to fight?"
The teacher's words immediately caused the whole class to whisper.
"Oh~ So he's just a poor student?"
"Daring to raise hands against Young Master Jiang? I thought he was somebody important, turns out he's just a poor student."
"Just a poor loser! His low-class aura... it's so obvious!"
Lin Yu's raised fist froze in mid-air.
The homeroom teacher still had some authority, and he still wanted to chase after the beautiful school belle. If he got expelled for fighting, that wouldn't be good.
"Heh... truly a poor loser! Look at how you're dressed? Did you just crawl out of a garbage dump? Get away from me... you're making me sick."
Jiang Che's words again caused roaring laughter, as he continued to provoke Lin Yu.
"You!" How could Lin Yu with his hot temper endure this?
His eyes reddened, and he was about to attack Jiang Che.
"Shilan School's rules state that fighting leads to expulsion. A poor guy like you probably spent a fortune to get in, right?"
"Come on then? If you hit me... I'll just lie here and call the police! I won't stop until I've sued the pants off you, not that you have any to begin with!"
Jiang Che's provocative words not only made veins pop on Lin Yu's forehead but also shocked the other students and teachers.
Even Ye Mengyao widened her eyes slightly, this was the first time she had seen Jiang Che like this!
Lin Yu was so angry his hands were shaking.
He desperately wanted to punch Jiang Che in the face, but reason told him... he couldn't use violence!
Once he did, he might really get expelled!
Then how would he chase girls?
There were so many beautiful young ladies in the school.
Endure! He must endure!
However, he hadn't expected... Jiang Che would become even more aggressive!
