Amidst the waves of jeers and clamor, Jiang Cheng stood there utterly bewildered—how did this drag me into it?
I was just a bystander eating melon, and now I've suddenly become the party involved.
"So the Campus Belle was confessing to Senior Jiang Cheng after all—never mind, then."
"That guy who wanted a duel earlier, step forward—we've got your back."
Li Shiyao, as the Campus Belle of Jiang Cheng University, had countless wealthy suitors chasing after her, but in this moment, every single one of them lost their nerve.
Jiang Cheng, as the sole heir of the Jiang Family, was someone even their parents would have to address as Young Master Jiang—how could they possibly measure up?
Suddenly, someone gasped, "Senior Jiang Cheng is behind us."
Hearing this, the crowd turned their heads in unison to look back.
Jiang Cheng's face darkened. Listen to me, thank you!
You've got sharp eyes, kid—I'm remembering you.
He'd originally planned to slip away quietly from the back, but now that plan was completely ruined.
With a large crowd watching him like this, Jiang Cheng felt like he was sitting on needles.
He couldn't leave, and he couldn't stay.
Good grief, this is one hell of a bombshell you've been holding in, Li Shiyao—you really don't know how to give a guy a break.
Look how black Ye Bufan's face is, like he just crawled out of a coal mine.
Since things had come to this, Jiang Cheng decided he'd better go up on stage and have a proper showdown with Li Shiyao.
Li Shiyao watched Jiang Cheng's approaching figure, her heart pounding wildly, her brows tinged with shyness.
The moment he stepped onto the stage, Jiang Cheng noticed Ye Bufan's expression—like he'd just eaten something foul—especially the way he clenched his fists in impotent rage, which honestly cracked him up.
To that, Jiang Cheng just wanted to say, you're really sick in the head—how does this have anything to do with me?
A waste of a protagonist, blaming the road when you can't walk!
With a face like that, you wouldn't last three chapters without a Protagonist's Halo—who are you trying to impress with that long face?
And you still need This Young Master to come out in person—you're nothing at all.
"Kiss her, kiss her!"
A shout of encouragement rang out, instantly igniting the whole venue.
Jiang Cheng squinted—it's you again, kid!
You've got a bit too much screentime—want me to let you play the Villain instead?
Ye Bufan's face turned green with rage. From the very first moment he saw Jiang Cheng, he felt an inexplicable disgust and repulsion.
And the key point was that Jiang Cheng was better-looking than him—was there no justice in this world?!
Jiang Cheng couldn't be bothered with this big fool. He smiled gently at the crowd and said, "Everyone, quiet down a moment."
Then he turned to look at Li Shiyao, whose eyes were shimmering, and sighed inwardly, "Shiyao, I think..."
"No, I don't agree!"
A gentle voice rang out, sounding a bit rushed.
Bai Weiwei suddenly stood up and ran toward the stage.
"What's going on—Goddess Weiwei is going up there too?"
"I have a bold guess—this is about to get really interesting."
Could it be that Goddess Weiwei had also fallen?
Countless Jiang University students sucked in a sharp breath—truly, some were dying of thirst while others drowned.
Li Shiyao furrowed her delicate brows, glaring displeased at Bai Weiwei for ruining her moment.
He'd just called her Shiyao, hadn't he~
One more step, and she would have succeeded!
Jiang Cheng was already beyond despair—Bai Weiwei, what are you butting in for?
Sigh~ What a mess, such a headache!
As soon as Bai Weiwei came up, she shielded Jiang Cheng behind her, which infuriated Li Shiyao.
"Senior Bai, what are you doing?!"
Li Shiyao, like an angry kitten with its fur standing on end, glared furiously at Bai Weiwei.
She had finally mustered the courage to confess to Senior Jiang Cheng in front of so many people, wanting to give him a surprise, and now this wicked woman had ruined it.
"Jiang Cheng doesn't like you."
Bai Weiwei said seriously.
Li Shiyao laughed in anger, grinding her silver teeth like a little carnivorous tiger ready to bite.
"Senior Bai says that, so does that mean Senior Jiang Cheng likes you instead?"
The moment those words landed, a thick smell of gunpowder filled the air. The two women were at daggers drawn, and everyone around held their breath.
Are these two women going to fight?
Jiang Cheng silently shuffled back a few steps, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
"I don't know." Bai Weiwei shook her head, glanced back, "But I like Jiang Cheng!"
Down below, the crowd of onlookers exploded.
"Did I hear that right? Goddess Weiwei says she likes Jiang Cheng?"
"Heavens, two campus belle-level goddesses have fallen for the same guy."
"Bro, I admit I'm jealous."
"If I were in Senior Jiang Cheng's shoes, I'd be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a mansion too!"
Many stared at Jiang Cheng with envy and jealousy, but they had nothing to say—some even felt this was only natural. Some people are born in Rome, others are born as pack mules!
Ye Bufan's eyes were red with jealousy.
Jiang Cheng was just a pretty face—taller, better-looking, richer—what right did he have?!
Was everyone these days so shallow?
Couldn't they see his unique inner beauty?
Li Shiyao clenched her fists. This woman really was here to steal Senior Jiang Cheng from her.
How infuriating!
Just then, the studio doors swung open.
Jiang Ruoxue led a squad of police officers charging in, surrounding Ye Bufan.
"Ye Bufan, a Concerned Citizen has reported you for underground boxing and involvement in prostitution. Please come with us to the police station for investigation."
"Pfft—"
Already crushed, Ye Bufan's vision went dark as he collapsed unconscious.
"Take him away!"
Jiang Ruoxue gave a cold glance and signaled her officers to haul Ye Bufan out.
Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Damn, the Protagonist got cuffed and thrown in the station again!
Another pair of Silver Handcuffs, personally delivered by the Heroine.
Was this some new form of flirting?
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine. Jiang Ruoxue was staring straight at him with the look of a woman scorned.
Wiping cold sweat, Jiang Cheng guiltily turned his head away, unable to meet her gaze.
Then, Jiang Ruoxue's eyes swept over Li Shiyao and the other girl, letting out a defiant snort.
In just a few minutes, everyone was stunned several times over.
This plot was as gripping as a TV drama!
With Ye Bufan taken away, the school anniversary celebration drew to a close.
Jiang Cheng, who had only come to watch the fun, somehow became the topic of everyone's discussion.
The news that two goddess-level figures were fighting over one man caused an uproar.
This day would go down as the Day of Heartbreak for countless Jiang University students.
At the entrance of the Police Station, a crowd of reporters was lying in wait.
This was naturally Shen Xiyue's doing.
As long as the matter blew up, the Kyoto Ye family was sure to get word.
Families like that valued face above all else.
Even if Ye Bufan was the eldest son lost by the family, returning smoothly to the Ye Family at that point would be impossible.
Even if he did return, this point was destined to become the greatest obstacle to Ye Bufan taking control of the Ye Family!
"They're here!"
The moment the police car came into view, all the reporters swarmed around it.
They raised their "cannons" and snapped a frenzy of shots at the handcuffed Ye Bufan.
Poor unconscious Protagonist, still unaware that he was about to become the top trending headline on every major website.
Still, this counted as a form of fame too, didn't it?
