Will Something Bad Happen in Two Years?
Xiao Xiao blinked her round eyes and muttered to herself, "Senior Nan Nan is really beautiful and has a gentle personality. She's clearly one of the future Shrek Seven Monsters, but Lin Ye actually said she doesn't have many memorable scenes?"
"Yes, Lin Ye is right. It must be because Huo Yuhao's Protagonist Halo is too bright. Everyone's attention is focused on him, so they naturally ignore the others around him."
Ning Tian crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and didn't seem to care.
That's just how the world is; only those who stand at the very top will ever be remembered.
Shrek Academy has never lacked geniuses or beautiful women. If they don't have enough moving stories, they will eventually be overshadowed by the protagonist and become background figures in other people's stories, which is perfectly normal.
Let alone Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian seems even less significant in the original story described by Lin Ye.
Ning Tian is a smart man. Besides Huo Yuhao, the person Lin Ye mentioned most often in his diary was Wang Dong'er.
As for the others, they were only mentioned briefly, and that was it.
She spent the entire day practically inseparable from Lin Ye, yet she mentioned him only a handful of times.
It's obvious that Lin Ye's strongest impression of Ning Tian and Wu Feng came from their first meeting; afterwards, they became strangers.
Just as Lin Ye said, they probably didn't have many scenes in the original novel, so Lin Ye didn't remember them very well.
[Never mind, we'll talk about it later. But judging from Jiang Nannan's attitude towards Xu Sanshi right now, she probably hasn't experienced that incident yet, right? She's only unfamiliar with him, not hateful.]
When Ma Xiaotao saw this sentence in the diary, her brows furrowed instantly, and her anger flared up immediately.
That incident? Sure enough, that bastard Xu Sanshi did something shameful and despicable to Jiang Nannan!
Otherwise, how could Jiang Nannan have come to hate Xu Sanshi so much later? It seems that Xu Sanshi, despite his respectable appearance, is not a good person behind the scenes.
Indeed, how many of these second-generation members of sects are good people?
[I remember now, Jiang Nannan went there when she was 14. Now Jiang Nannan's just started school, she's only 12, so there are still two years left.]
Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
Upon seeing this entry in the diary, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately perked up its ears, its round golden eyes filled with worry, and it sat up straight.
Two more years? Then Jiang Nannan will encounter something bad in two years!
Now that Lin Ye knows, will he help her? If Brother Lin Ye intervenes, Jiang Nannan definitely won't have to suffer so much, right?
No wonder Jiang Nannan is still so nice to Xu Sanshi.
Zhang Lexuan nodded. "I see. Jiang Nannan has not yet experienced those life-altering changes, so she only feels unfamiliar and distant towards Xu Sanshi, without the deep-seated hatred that she later developed."
If Xu Sanshi truly loved her, he should have cherished this time, instead of using his self-righteous methods to repeatedly wear down her patience and push her further and further away."
Lin Ye didn't say what would happen to 14-year-old Jiang Nannan, but nobody's stupid. What else could happen to a pretty girl besides something between a man and a woman?
According to Lin Ye's diary, Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi will become enemies in two years. It must be because Xu Sanshi used some special methods to make it impossible for the two to even remain strangers.
Tang Ya held Jiang Nannan's hand, her anger rising even more. She gritted her teeth and cursed him fiercely in her heart.
"That bastard Xu Sanshi must have done something to betray Nan Nan two years later!"
Otherwise, how could a perfectly nice girl go from being polite and distant to becoming an irreconcilable enemy?
Xu Sanshi is a complete scoundrel! Later in the Soul Arena, I'm going to have Bei Bei give him a good beating and avenge Nan Nan!"
[Xu Sanshi's excessive flattery, though failing to garner even a glance from Jiang Nannan, at least keeps her as a stranger, not an enemy.]
Xu Sanshi's way of pursuing girls is really terrible. It's a typical example of self-indulgent devotion, completely disregarding the girl's situation and self-esteem.
The girl came from a poor family and was naturally sensitive about money. He snatched the grilled fish and handed it to her, seemingly being generous, but in reality, he was putting her on the hot seat of the fire.
Jiang Nannan wouldn't accept his offer of help, as it would leave her indebted to him. She'd rather pay for it herself than have anything to do with him. Only he thought this was affectionate; anyone in his shoes would find it annoying.
Upon hearing this, Ning Tian couldn't help but scoff inwardly.
"Sure enough, I'm not the only one who thinks Xu Sanshi's way of pursuing her is clumsy and ridiculous."
True affection is never just about expressing yourself, but about considering things from the other person's perspective.
His actions were merely to satisfy his own desire to perform, completely disregarding Jiang Nannan's situation and dignity. Such self-pity would be unacceptable to any girl with backbone.

Ju Zi's eyes were full of laughter.
Lin Ye is right. The most useless thing in this world is this kind of self-righteous dedication.
Xu Sanshi thought he was giving Jiang Nannan the best, but he didn't know that what he gave her was never what she wanted.
More than a skewer of grilled fish imbued with human warmth, Jiang Nannan desired an undisturbed and dignified existence. Xu Sanshi, it seems, hadn't grasped this simple truth.
The diary entries in her mind gradually stopped. Jiang Nannan stood by the Grilled Fish Stall with a blank expression on her face, but every sentence from the diary kept echoing in her mind like a tide.
At 14, that incident, the enemy—these words, like fine needles, gently pierced her heart, causing her once calm heartbeat to falter.
She looked up at Tang Ya, then at Lin Ye who was talking to Wang Dong'er not far away. The words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
She couldn't say.
This is an unspoken, ironclad rule that everyone who owns Diary Copy knows.
They might feel close to Lin Ye because of the contents of the diary, and lend a helping hand to others, but they absolutely cannot reveal a single word about the existence of the Diary Copy to anyone, especially Lin Ye himself.
Tang Ya noticed her stiffness, chuckled, patted her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Don't mind Xu Sanshi. If you want grilled fish in the future, just come to my stall. It'll be on me. Don't be polite with him, and don't feel guilty."
She didn't mention the diary at all, but conveyed her goodwill in the most natural way.
Moreover, Tang Ya understood that Jiang Nannan must have seen the contents of the diary, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted this way.
