The second male lead was loved by many fans as he had a more light atmosphere and wasn"t scared to express his emotions. No matter what, he would blindly protect the female lead and ensure her happiness. At the end of the book, he was still alone and attended Xiao Ling and Li Wei"s marriage while wis.h.i.+ng them well. Personally, Zhi Ruo didn"t really like him as he was very ruthless when he was handling things and couldn"t move on from the female lead. Whenever she was unhappy because of her toxic relations.h.i.+p, he would be there to coax and help her, never moving past this point and constantly getting his feelings trampled on.
Zhi Ruo felt like he had to no backbone and that he consistently lowered himself just to receive nothing in return; she personally didn"t like this type of person.
Zhi Ruo snapped back to reality and coldly looked at the a.s.sistant, " What does he want? "
" Young Master wishes to personally apologize and thank you for the event that happened previously. "the man didn"t mind her cold att.i.tude and politely answered.
" I do not need it. I was responsible for my choices and I don"t need anyone to react accordingly to my independent actions. " Zhi Ruo calmly stated.
" Very well, I shall inform him of your wish. " the a.s.sistant nodded and added, " At least, please accept his card. If ever you encounter an unfortunate event during your stay in the United States, he will be able to help you. "
Zhi Ruo took the card and answered, " Thank you. If there is nothing else, we will get going. "
" Yes, sorry to bother you once more, have a nice day Miss, Zhi. " the man bowed and promptly left.
Zhi Ruo finally relaxed. She knew that whenever she interacted with the main characters of the story, the plot halo would somehow affect her. The old Zhi Ruo was also attacked more than once by this second male lead in the story and the current Zhi Ruo wanted nothing to do with him.
Hopefully, she cut off most of her relations.h.i.+ps with the main characters, except w.a.n.g Yong. However, in the book, w.a.n.g Yong was a lofty being that did not meddle with her " insignificant "downfall; he probably didn"t even know.
Suddenly, Zhi Ruo came to a certain realization and her brain short-circuited from the impact of the information, she lightly staggered and her eyes widened.
" What"s wrong? " w.a.n.g Yong asked worriedly after seeing her complexion whiten.
" I"m sorry, I need to go to the toilet real quick. " Zhi Ruo answered rapidly and gave him the bouquet before promptly walking to the female bathroom.
w.a.n.g Yong wanted to follow her but he couldn"t follow her into the toilet and reluctantly stayed outside, feeling very concerned.
Zhi Ruo locked herself in a stall and anxiously fidgeted, " Why the h.e.l.l am I getting involved with so many characters of the novel?! "
" This doesn"t make any sense. Everything that happened since I have transmigrated doesn"t concord to the book. I shouldn"t have met Li Wei"s parents at the restaurant and he shouldn"t have gone to my house so many times. The book clearly stated that their relations.h.i.+p was non-existent. Moreover, I met with the female lead already twice when I shouldn"t have met her till after she made her debut with the famous movie of " Orange Summer " that only comes out in 4 months... I also shouldn"t have met the second male lead until he goes back to China to meet the female lead. Everything is wrong! " Zhi Ruo"s brain started overloading from all the incomprehension she discovered.
" And more importantly...she should have never ever met with the big boss w.a.n.g Yong... " Zhi Ruo felt panic envelop her and she felt her head blanking out.
" What the h.e.l.l does this all mean?! It"s like everything is making me partic.i.p.ate in the plot... " Zhi Ruo thought fearfully.
" Isn"t this very bad?! " Zhi Ruo yelled in her mind.
" The more I implicate myself with the plot, the more trouble it will attract me and that"s not good!!! " Zhi Ruo was filled with fear and confusion, " What the h.e.l.l is happening?! "
" I thought it was going to be easy to not get involved with the story but what do I do when the plot forces me to get involved?! " Zhi Ruo held her forehead.
" More importantly, I am already so involved with one of the important characters of the book! I am even in a relations.h.i.+p with him! "
" F*ck, it"s true I am the villainess and I am also an important character but why is nothing going the way it"s supposed to?! "
" OK, no! Let"s stop overreacting for a second! " Zhi Ruo calmed herself down and tried to think logically.
" Since the beginning of my transmigration, I have tried very hard to distance myself from the story but that only led to more meetings with the leads. According to this pattern, the more I push away the plot, the more it tries to pull me in? Doesn"t that mean that since the beginning, this world was just toying with me?! "
