Couldn't You See the End at a Glance?

It was another beautiful Monday, without a cloud in the sky.

Feeling refreshed, Feng Xing stood casually at the podium in Pluto's neatly tailored uniform and introduced himself:

"Hello, everyone. My name is Feng Xing. I'm happy to be your classmate, and I hope you'll look out for me from now on."

Almost everyone in Class 2 had gone to watch the friendly against the Vast Sea the day before, so they were fairly familiar with Feng Xing, one of the Vast Sea's star players.

Seeing their former opponent suddenly transfer in and become their schoolmate still came as quite a shock.

"Feng Xing transferred??? Wasn't he playing for the Vast Sea just yesterday? How did he end up at Pluto today?"

"He was a Vast Sea student yesterday, and today he's already enrolled at Pluto. That was way too fast!"

"Great, the Vast Sea basketball team has lost another star player. Is Chen Dan going to cry his eyes out? Hahahahaha!"

"Pluto just got a new contender for hottest guy on campus. It's not an exaggeration to call Class 2 the school's good-looking class now, right?"

As the students buzzed with discussion, Feng Xing looked at the stunned Jiang Nian below the podium and felt thoroughly satisfied.

All the effort he'd put into rushing his transfer yesterday had been worth it. The moment he saw Jiang Nian, his exhaustion melted away.

Besides Jiang Nian, Song Jici and the others were also astonished to see Feng Xing appear at Pluto at lightning speed.

After their group dinner yesterday, they had considered the possibility that Feng Xing might wade into this mess.

But they hadn't expected him to be so eager to transfer. After all, it was only the next day.

Naturally, Tan Zhuishi had learned the news well in advance, so he showed no particular reaction.

After surveying the seats in the classroom, he pointed to the empty one beside Tan Xuguang and directed Feng Xing over:

"The only seat left is beside Tan Xuguang. Sit there."

Feng Xing nodded indifferently and walked over to sit beside Tan Xuguang under everyone's gaze.

He first turned around and smiled at Jiang Nian, then faced forward to listen attentively to Tan Zhuishi's lesson, leaving a utterly bewildered Jiang Nian sitting stiffly in her seat.

Jiang Nian opened and closed her mouth. Unable to come up with a reasonable explanation, she could only silently ask 88:

[...88.]

[I'm here.]

[Am I seeing things?]

[No. Your eyesight is good enough to apply to be a pilot.]

[Then why am I seeing a freaking ghost in broad daylight?!]

Could someone tell her why Feng Xing had still transferred to Pluto?!

The butterfly effect had shredded the plot so badly that even its own creator would shake her head and declare it beyond saving. Yet he had still managed to get involved?

[Fu Zhenzhen didn't even go to the game, didn't give a speech, and definitely didn't radiate any aura to attract Feng Xing. Why did he still transfer here?]

[Wait...]

An absurd possibility occurred to Jiang Nian.

Her voice trembled slightly:

[Could the heroine aura I put on Tan Xuguang have attracted Feng Xing?!]

The supporting male character had been attracted by the third male lead's heroine aura?!

Sitting in front of her, Tan Xuguang went blank when he heard Jiang Nian's nonsense.

Heroine what?

What aura?

Heroine what aura?

Why did he understand all those words separately, but have no idea what Jiang Nian meant when she put them together?

Watching Jiang Nian stare at Tan Xuguang's back with an expression of agonized remorse, 88 had the distinct feeling that her thoughts had gone about half a mile off track.

[No wonder Feng Xing insisted on joining us for dinner yesterday. He had his sights set on Tan Xuguang all along!]

[Boohoo, Tan Xuguang, I'm so sorry! I really didn't know those few minutes of heroine aura would draw Feng Xing to you. I swear I'll do everything I can to protect your chastity!]

Tan Xuguang nearly lost his mind listening from the seat in front.

I already told you this isn't a boys' love story! It's straight romance! Straight romance! What the hell are you imagining?!

The main cast around them all fought to suppress their rising smiles and avoid laughing aloud. Only Tan Xuguang and Feng Xing exchanged a glance, then turned away in mutual disgust.

Tan Zhuishi paused his lesson at the front of the classroom and stared speechlessly at the grief-stricken Jiang Nian.

What kind of adult-only nonsense filled Jiang Nian's head all day?!

He snapped off a piece of chalk, then sent it flying in a flawless arc straight at Jiang Nian's head.

"Ow!"

Caught by the sudden attack, Jiang Nian clutched her head and stopped letting her imagination run wild. She looked up to find Tan Zhuishi at the podium, staring at her with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Pay attention to the lesson. Stop thinking about nonsense."

Jiang Nian cast Tan Zhuishi a guilty glance, then obediently lowered her head to her textbook.

[Since I accidentally screwed over your little brother, I'll let this slide.]

Tan Zhuishi gripped the chalk tightly, sorely tempted to hit her with another piece.

Am I supposed to thank you?

After finally making it to the end of class, Tan Zhuishi left the classroom with a dark expression. He feared that staying any longer would give him a heart attack courtesy of Jiang Nian.

The moment Tan Zhuishi left, Jiang Nian eagerly poked Feng Xing in front of her:

"Why did you suddenly transfer to Pluto? You didn't say anything about transferring yesterday."

Surely he hadn't really come for Tan Xuguang?

Thinking of Jiang Nian's absurd ideas made Feng Xing want to sigh, but he couldn't exactly tell her outright that he had come for her, could he?

He couldn't say he'd come for her, much less claim he'd come for Tan Xuguang. After thinking it over for a while, Feng Xing found a suitable candidate.

"I came for Fu Zhenzhen."

That ought to scare you.

Sure enough, Jiang Nian's mind went completely blank at his answer.

For Fu Zhenzhen?

He'd still ended up connected to Fu Zhenzhen?

Jiang Nian gave a thoroughly miserable smile:

[88, am I going to survive this?]

88's heart tightened, and it spoke in a strained voice:

[Why would you say that?]

Did Jiang Nian feel powerless to change the predetermined plot? Was she suffering because she felt she couldn't save Feng Xing? Or...

[Because when I close my eyes, I can't see this world's future.]

Feng Xing must have lost his damn mind! How could he still transfer here after all that?

After brooding solemnly for so long, 88 felt that its concern had been wasted.

It reverted to its cold, emotionless system voice:

[You must be joking. How could you not see it?]

Couldn't you see the end at a glance?
