CH 57

[Ah, ah, ah, ah, so exciting! Long live the host! Ah, ah, ah! Kissed! Kissed! Ah, ah, ah…] Laji was completely excited and incoherent. But because of its mechanical sound, it sounded like it was malfunctioning.

[Host! Host! Ah, ah, ah! Kissed…]

‘There’s no end to this1, is there?’ Fu Yichen interrupted Laji’s endless excitement and felt a headache form in his head. Laji’s excitement was more exaggerated than the first time it saw Su Zhan.

In fact, Fu Yichen was now used to blocking it anytime and anywhere. The main reason was because Laji was too noisy. But obviously, Laji did evolve in this aspect. It had learnt to restrain itself, just like what it was doing now. It knew that if it didn’t make a sound, Fu Yichen probably wouldn’t remember whether he had blocked it or not.

[Long live the host! Don’t block me.] Laji quickly flattered him and then shut itself up. It probably knew that if it couldn’t control itself, it would be locked in the small black room again.

Fu Yichen was a little dumbfounded. The system seemed to be really good at this. But fortunately for Laji, Fu Yichen was currently in a good mood. He just felt that the current system was much different from the first time they met. It was much cuter now.

His fingers unconsciously rubbed the corners of his lips twice. Su Zhan’s appearance flashed in his mind, as well as the feeling on his lips. Fu Yichen couldn’t help but smile at this.

‘Doesn’t the Male Lead belong to the Second Female? Why are you so excited?’ Fu Yichen said in a teasing tone, feeling that he couldn’t understand the system sometimes.

[Ying, ying, ying. No matter, no matter. Long live the host! Long live Zhanzhan the Male God. Overthrow the Male God! Overthrow the Male God! Those Mary Sues who dare to YY the Male God should all just die!] Laji, who heard that Fu Yichen’s tone was still friendly, couldn’t help but shout slogans.

Overthrow the Male God? The corner of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched. Do Mary Sue novels still have this kind of thing? Could it be that there was still a group of rotten girls in the Anti-Mary Sue Alliance? But before this, why didn’t Laji show this kind of tendency? Fu Yichen didn’t take this matter to heart. Now he wanted to know about something else even more.

‘Tell me about the favorability.’

[Ah, if the host didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have been able to hold it back anymore either.] Laji sounded like it was trying to hold back the notifications.

[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +1]

[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +4]

[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male -1]

……

…

[The favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male +3]

Laji suddenly poured out all the favorability notifications like a pile of beans. It was not until the final conclusion of [The total favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male is 20.] that it stopped.

The corners of Fu Yichen’s mouth twitched once more. He had always thought that the only things he could block were the system’s sight and hearing as well as the sounds it made other than the favorability prompts. He thought that the favorability prompts couldn’t be blocked and that this prompt was like the sound from the core system of Laji itself that couldn’t be limited by Laji.

But Fu Yichen didn’t expect that not only could he block Laji, he could also block the favorability prompt. If the notifications had sounded just now, Fu Yichen probably would have blocked Laji without saying a word. But the main thing was that the two of them would have been disrupted. He had to admit that Laji was a good piece of work.

But having said that, Su Zhan’s favorability had risen from negative points to 20 which made him very happy. Fu Yichen felt more and more that Su Zhan was just like a paper tiger. He looked ferocious and frightening at a glance, but behind that was probably a little hamster who would pretend to be dead as soon as it was teased. It was surprisingly cute.

Similarly to the original plot, Fu Yichen wasn’t there at the scene of the wedding. Firstly, the Second Male didn’t really need to appear and furthermore what happened there was also clear to him without him having to be there.

The next period of time would depict a daily routine between the Male and Female Lead to develop feelings. From the Female Lead’s impression of the Male Lead being ‘ruthless, domineering and unreasonable… in short he’s very annoying’, it developed into ‘although he is domineering and rude (a number of words are omitted here), he also has a gentle personality,’ additionally in her words, he was ‘handsome as hell’.

During this period, Fu Yichen had nothing he could do to intervene until the relationship between the two of them reached a critical point. At this key point, the Female Lead will clarify what was in her heart——A crusade of the campus against the scum girl. It was then the time for Fu Yichen to play.

The little pure Female Lead described by the author was actually still a college student. She was also in the same school as her Female Supporting sister. She was then framed by her green tea sister to be someone who stole the man her younger sister liked in a daze.

As for how she was framed, Fu Yichen found this matter interesting to think about and summed up the whole thing in one sentence, ‘Zhu Qianqian is a full-fledged green tea wh*re. She’s not worthy of the Male God Gu at all.’ So she became the public enemy of girls and women all over the world.

All of this was because photos of Zhu Qianqian sharing the same frame with different men were scattered all around the school and even on the internet. This included Li Hao, the world’s number 1 Second-rich generation ancestor and this world’s Second Male. The Third Male who had silently guarded the Female Lead ever since she was a child. The Fourth Male who was infatuated with the Female Lead in the school. In short, under the deliberate guidance of the supporting sister, the Female Lead aroused the public anger of women all around the world.

So this was the current scene. The Female Lead was surrounded by a group of girls pitifully, feeling at a loss as angry accusations and abuse fell on her from all directions. Some even prepared rotten vegetables and eggs to throw at her while her Female Supporting sister hid in the shade of a nearby tree, smiling smugly.

Fu Yichen also stayed aside and didn’t intervene. After all, this was Su Zhan’s scene. In the original text, the hero who saved the beauty was the Male Lead. The Second Male was the unlucky ghost who arrived one step later than the Male Lead.

“Zhu Qianqian, you green tea, roll out of X university!”

“Zhu Qianqian you scum woman!”

“You’re just a sl*t that’s not worthy of the Male God Gu.”

“B*tch! How shamless of you to seduce so many men!”

……

…

Fu Yichen felt that it was a bit harsh and was made speechless. He just watched on as the group of girls scolded the Female Lead with more and more ugly words. As if they were the envoys of justice, they were very energetic. There were banners with big characters of their crusade all around. The Female Lead, the little white rabbit, was surrounded by the crowd from the beginning till the end, feeling flustered. She was at a loss and looked very pitiful. During this period, a few people even went as far as to push her a few times.

Fu Yichen, who was standing far away, could only vaguely see the miserable Female Lead who was in a mess through a gap in the crowd. It could be said that she was quite desperate and frightened.

But at this moment, those girls’ emotions became more and more uncontrollable. The more they scolded, the harder it was to get rid of their hatred. So they simply started to take action. Rotten vegetables. Mineral water bottles and the like were thrown towards the Female Lead.

The Female Lead immediately turned pale with fright. But at the critical moment, a tall figure stood in front of the Female Lead to block the items for her.

Fu Yichen didn’t even see when he had arrived. He just saw Su Zhan appearing next to the Female Lead in the centre of the crowd with his own aura. He then stretched out his long hand in a flash. The next second, the petite Zhu Qianqian was protected by him in his arms. The rotten leaves and mineral water bottles that flew towards Zhu Qianqian hit him on the back.

Although he knew that it was just acting, Fu Yichen felt distressed for a moment and even a little angry. It could have been avoided if he had just arrived a few minutes earlier. There was no need for Su Zhan to be so dedicated.

“Ah!”

“This, this… Male God Gu?”

“Ah! Male God Gu!”

……

…

These girls who were fighting for him and were desperate for him were shocked and excited at the same time. It was actually the first time some of them saw him up close.

“Shut up!” Su Zhan’s face was gloomy and his eyes were cold. His voice was like ice and the moment he opened his mouth, the chaotic scene fell into dead silence.

“Listen to me well.” Su Zhan’s domineering air leaked out, frightening the group of people so much that they didn’t dare to vent their anger. He then pointed at Zhu Qianqian’s head that was leaning in his arms domineeringly, “This is my fiancé. Whoever dares to speak ill of her in the future, I’ll let them know the price!”

After speaking, he ignored everyone else, grabbed Zhu Qianqian and walked out. The girls hurriedly moved out of the way as if they saw the king of hell.

At this time, Fu Yichen had already stood up calmly. So when Su Zhan raised his eyes, he met Fu Yichen’s bottomless eyes.

The moment when the two pairs of eyes met, Fu Yichen obviously saw Su Zhan’s eyes dodge his. The hand holding onto Zhu Qianqian’s arm also twitched a bit as he paused unconsciously. He soon looked away with a guilty conscience.

Fu Yichen didn’t move, he just stared straight at the figure who had quickly turned away. His face was frighteningly dark.

Truthfully, Su Zhan felt inexplicably guilty at this moment while dragging away the Female Lead in big strides. When he thought of those eyes just now, he felt uneasy. But he couldn’t look back. He couldn’t look weak in front of that person.

Fu Yichen stood where he was, emitting low air pressure. It was not until the Supporting Female secretly moved towards him to provoke dissension that Fu Yichen said a word, “Roll.” Then he also left.

[Ah, ah, ah. Mary Sue should just go and die! Ying, ying, ying] Laji seemed to be more angry than everyone else present, [Mary Sue is so shameless. Ying, ying, ying. Male God Zhanzhan. That trash Mary Sue…]

‘Have you scolded enough?’ The scene was cleared away by Fu Yichen’s low air pressure. But he wasn’t fully acting just now. The scene just now made him really angry as well, so he was full of rage at the moment.

[Ying, ying, ying. I haven’t scolded enough.] The tone of Laji was obviously weaker, but it didn’t dare to scold anymore. It just changed the subject, [Mary Sue should go die. Host, quickly go and snatch the Male God Zhanzhan back.]

Fu Yichen felt that it was a pain in the *ss, ‘Do you think I don’t want to? Don’t you know the consequences of changing the plot?’ The freedom to collapse the plot was weakened and the plot became stronger. The tasks he needed to do became more difficult.

[Ying, ying, ying, how annoying. The Male Lead belongs to the Second Male! Ying, ying ying.] Laji felt weak as it spouted a sentence.

‘What did you say?’ Fu Yichen felt that the system was becoming more and more out of tune. But he had no choice but to trust it.

[Ying, ying, ying. I really hate Mary Sue.]

A male mechanical voice yelling ‘ying, ying, ying’ all day long and calling someone a Male God. It really made others feel a bit uncomfortable. To say it in a lighter way, it’s an understatement to describe it as something akin to a grown man whining to their mother.

‘Favorability.’ Fu Yichen didn’t bother to talk nonsense with it. He walked towards the school gate while talking to the system in his mind. Anyways, he was in a bad mood after seeing that scene just now.

[The total favorability of the Female Lead towards the Male Lead is 80.]

[The total favorability of the Male Lead towards the Second Male is 68.]

Fu Yichen’s raised foot suddenly paused. He didn’t expect that the favorability would have risen to 68 after a few days of them not seeing each other. What a lovely man.

[Aiya~ The Male Lead is tempted by the Second Male again. How happy, how happy! Hahaha!]

Fu Yichen seriously suspected that Laji’s words were to please him. Could it be that Laji could still feel his mood swings? Fu Yichen was stunned by his guess. But he quickly dispelled this idea because he found that Laji really was very happy.

But he had to admit, the system’s words really successfully pleased him. Most of the haze that he had felt just now had disappeared in an instant. But what made Fu Yichen even more happy and surprised was the fact that he saw an unexpected figure as soon as he left the school gate.

“Hey~ What’s Mr. Gu doing standing at the gate with his fiancé?” Fu Yichen was in a good mood, but what he said was a little lacking and hypocritical. Probably because he was feeling jealous?

Who knew why he decided to stand there? Su Zhan had wanted to turn his head and leave, but he wasn’t reconciled. He himself was so annoyed and felt that he was crazy to stand at the gate.

Fu Yichen saw that Su Zhan’s eyes drifted and dodged unconsciously. Although his expression was the same as that of Gu Chenfeng, his lips were unconsciously tightening and loosening repeatedly. His Adam’s apple rolled, as if he hesitated to speak.

Su Zhan was nervous and felt a little annoyed. Fu Yichen was feeling determined. He then raised his brows and unconsciously, a smile formed at the corner of his eyes.
