As Everyone Knows, The IQ of Webnovel Characters Will Absolutely Not Exceed The Author's IQ

Meanwhile, inside Jianren Convenience Store.

"Boss, I'd like some breakfast!"

A girl in a light blue dress walked in and saw a greasy-looking uncle at the counter, tallying accounts.

"What do you want?" The greasy uncle didn't even look up, his tone impatient.

"Breakfast!" The girl's voice was full of energy, sounding like a vibrant young lady.

"I said, what kind of breakfast!"

The uncle thought, Is she an idiot? Repeating herself like a broken record. Annoyed, he raised his head, but his eyes lit up when he saw the girl's face.

Well, well, a pretty young thing. Shen Yuanwan's gaze was immediately captivated.

"Uh, Young Master didn't say, and Jiu Yun doesn't know what breakfast is either." The girl named Jiu Yun looked a bit silly.

Young Master? Looks like she's already taken, and probably by a rich guy.

Shen Yuanwan tore off the rough sketch he had just drawn in his small notebook.

The smile Shen Yuanwan had been about to show instantly vanished, and he put on a stern face again.

"Then take this. Seeing as you're such a cute little girl, I'll trick you... Fine, thirty!" Shen Yuanwan pulled out expired bread and milk from under the counter, which an employee had been about to discard.

These rich young masters, pfft! So disgusting, ruining all the good things. Hmph, if that's the case, then I'll let you eat something "good."

Shen Yuanwan fumed inwardly.

Jiu Yun was stunned when she heard the price: "Thirty? But I bought it before..."

"Forget before. I'm specially taking out this treasure for you because I feel a connection. This bread and milk are from Japan, imported! If you don't want it, then I won't sell it!" Shen Yuanwan interrupted her.

While they were arguing.

"Are we done yet? Stop dawdling."

Ye Chen was helpless. If he hadn't rushed, and his subordinates weren't all on assignment, he wouldn't have brought Jiu Yun to Nancheng.

She's so clumsy and knows nothing, can't even cook a bowl of porridge.

If their lodging wasn't so far from the city, he would have been "starving to death" long ago.

Because he drank too late at the bar the night before, he got drunk, went home, and woke up with an upset stomach the next day. He could only eat clean and hygienic soft foods.

He had only just begun to grasp the Thousand Yang Divine Art, and it couldn't yet defend against internal bacterial attacks.

Even when the technique was perfected, it had a little-known weakness: the Changqiang acupoint, which was located... well, there.

Unless he practiced to the level of the Myriad Yang Divine Art, his rear end needed special protection.

Therefore, even though there were breakfast shops downstairs, they were all roadside stalls. Ye Chen couldn't trust their hygiene, so he had no choice but to go into the city to buy food, not daring to let his rear end suffer too much.

Forget it. Ye Chen sighed. After all, she's my subordinate. Even if she's a bit clumsy, she's loyal to me.

"I'll take that one. Just pay," Ye Chen decided directly.

"Ah, Young Master, but..."

"No buts! That's the one. Pay!" Ye Chen impatiently interrupted her.

He really couldn't stand Jiu Yun always focusing on those insignificant details. He felt like he wasn't a young master, but more like a kindergarten teacher taking care of a child.

If it weren't for her absolute loyalty to him, Ye Chen would never have put up with it again.

"Okay..." Jiu Yun could only respond reluctantly in a low voice.

After buying breakfast, they ate it quickly by the entrance. Ye Chen then hurried to take Jiu Yun to the Shen Family.

The Shen Family's main influence was concentrated in Changning. Changning District was primarily inhabited by Japanese people or those of mixed Japanese and Southern heritage. They controlled various businesses, both legitimate and underworld, along several commercial streets. Their influence wasn't considered large in all of Nancheng, but they were the local power in Changning District.

Since they were both outsiders, Ye Chen planned to break through here first. The night before, he had met with Shen Xiaolong, the heir of the Shen Family, to discuss cooperation. Who knew it would end with him vomiting?

Originally, Ye Chen could have handled it alone, but because of his upset stomach, he couldn't exert his full strength. To prevent the other party from threatening him, he had to bring Jiu Yun.

After all, one couldn't fully trust people from the underworld. He had to be prepared. If nothing else, Jiu Yun's strength was now far superior to his.

"Grumble~~~~~" To his surprise, after only a few steps, Ye Chen's stomach rumbled...

Noon, Shengde Hospital.

Young Master Fei, who had intended to pretend to be asleep but accidentally dozed off, slowly woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Jiang Anran resting by the bedside. Her small hand was tucked under his head as a pillow, and she was sleeping soundly, a faint smile on her lips, looking incredibly cute.

Seeing the "workaholic" who was usually highly stressed finally able to sleep soundly, Young Master Fei couldn't help but smile slightly, a doting expression on his face.

If he had to pick his favorite character in the original book, it would be Jiang Anran.

Her personality was strong, independent, resilient, upright, and simple. These were all the qualities Young Master Fei had envisioned for his ideal partner. In essence, all these qualities struck a chord with him.

However, precisely because of this, Young Master Fei was still troubled about how to treat her.

Even though the characters in the book weren't real, it was still difficult for him to harden his heart and treat her harshly.

Moreover, even if he did harden his heart and act that way, it wouldn't change the plot development that had already been missed!

Since even the system didn't care about these things, he shouldn't overthink it either. He should just do his best.

Fortunately, the original book was a simple, wish-fulfillment novel.

As everyone knows, the IQ of web novel characters never exceeds that of the author, and the protagonists of simple, wish-fulfillment novels probably have half that, and the female lead... maybe half of that again.

Even if Jiang Anran's IQ in the book was relatively high, after all these deductions, she probably wouldn't notice anything amiss... right?

Young Master Fei couldn't dismiss her, so he could only comfort himself this way.

Because it was different from the plot, his injuries this time weren't as severe. After resting for a night, he felt almost healed.

Without waking her, he carefully got out of bed. Young Master Fei decided to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

"Young Master, you can't die!"

As soon as he got off the elevator, he heard a familiar girlish wail. Young Master Fei followed the sound and looked, oh, isn't that Ye Chen? What's he doing in the hospital?

Beside him was someone wearing a light blue, robe-like dress, with semi-transparent water-colored long hair and eyes of the same color, giving off a fresh and refined aura.

Even from afar, she exuded a ditz-like aura. Yes, it could only be Jiu Yun.

In the original book, Jiu Yun almost got Ye Chen killed multiple times. It could be said that Jiu Yun was a jinx, but also a lucky star. The protagonist's halo saved Ye Chen's life many times, turning disaster into fortune and bringing Ye Chen great opportunities.

But now...

Young Master Fei thought of Ye Chen's embarrassment at Gu Xiyue's place yesterday. He wasn't confident in Ye Chen's protagonist halo anymore and decided to wait and see.

But, that's not right?

In the original book, at most there were minor scrapes and bruises. Those disasters didn't warrant a trip to the hospital, did they?

Did something happen that wasn't written in the book?

Since he was behind them, Young Master Fei decided to observe them secretly and figure out what happened.

"Who told you I was going to die?" Ye Chen was instantly infuriated by this.

"Huh? But I heard that people who come to the hospital eventually die," Jiu Yun mumbled.

"You! Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Why is this line so long?" Ye Chen stomped his foot impatiently. "Ouch..."

"Gurgle gurgle~" As soon as he complained, a rumbling sound echoed.

It seems Ye Chen has diarrhea?

This is a big deal. It's too damaging to the protagonist's image. No wonder it wasn't written. If it were written, he'd be cursed to death by the readers.

Young Master Fei found a hidden corner and sat down, watching the spectacle with wide eyes.

Forget it, let's just enjoy the drama.

As soon as he sat down, ready to enjoy the show, he saw Jiang Anran coming downstairs.
