Xu Mingyao's vibrant red hair was like fire. As Lin Yu looked at her bewitching face twisted in ferocity, his mind went into a daze.
In an instant, Lin Yu felt everything around him blur.
His gaze was dead-fixed on her face as an indescribable terror swept over him.
Something is wrong...
Wrong!
This is wrong!!!
With his heart pounding harder, Lin Yu's breathing grew uncontrollably heavy.
Out of sheer terror, cold sweat poured from his body. A chill seeped from the very depths of his soul, making his entire body turn cold.
How could this be?
How could this be...
Lin Yu felt a sense of absurdity at how familiar the scene before him felt.
Although in his memory, the plot of the college arc had always been blurry.
But based on the original blonde delinquent's personality and the standard plot development of an adult manga, there was no reason for a dominant, NTR-focused blonde protagonist to be locked up in a basement!
Then what was this spine-chilling sense of familiarity he was feeling?
Lin Yu breathed rapidly, staring hard at Xu Mingyao's angry, ferocious face, as if trying to see something else through her contortedly beautiful features.
Gradually, in his blank mind, fragmented images emerged.
Most of the images were too fragmented; Lin Yu couldn't see them clearly or understand them.
However, Lin Yu had finally found the source of this bizarre sense of familiarity.
In that manga panel, Xu Mingyao was standing behind a long table bearing the nameplate of the Student Council President.
Behind her, two transparent windows were quietly shut, and bright sunlight poured in from outside, spilling onto her pristine white school uniform skirt.
Her expression was just as furious as it was now, as if the person in front of her was her sworn enemy.
And indeed, that was the case.
Lin Yu vaguely remembered that in the original plot, the original blonde protagonist had seemingly cuckolded her countless times, which led to her extreme anger...
...
But...
That is not right...
This is not right at all!!!
Lin Yu began to panic.
He obviously hadn't slept with the female lead from the college arc, so why had things developed to this point?
Why was she looking at him with the same angry gaze she had in the manga after he had stolen all her women?
This does not add up!
The reason he was in this situation now was that he had slept with Qing Mo, which caused Xu Mingyao to break down and kidnap him.
If going by the logic that she would go crazy the moment he slept with Qing Mo.
She should have appeared much earlier in the plot of the first part. So why, in the original work, did she only appear near the end of the second part, the college arc?
This, this completely does not add up!
Where did things go wrong?
Amidst his fear, Lin Yu's thoughts raced.
In a haze, Lin Yu suddenly thought of a variable.
Qing Mo!
That is right!
It is Qing Mo!
It was definitely her!
In the original work, after the original protagonist slept with her, she must have warned and stopped Xu Mingyao, forbidding her from making a move on him.
But in this world, because of his rejection, Qing Mo had always taken a hands-off approach toward Xu Mingyao.
And because the time between sleeping together and now was too short, Qing Mo probably hadn't even woken up yet, which was why she failed to stop Xu Mingyao from acting.
Thinking of this, fear and powerlessness surged up like a tsunami.
It was as if someone had gone round and round, twisting and turning, only to eventually walk right into the fated spear waiting before them.
The sense of powerlessness was so profound it felt like it was rotting his bones!
But soon, the fear and powerlessness quickly receded.
Lin Yu simply had no mind to dwell on them.
With things developing to this point, feeling the heavy, soft warmth in his arms, an extremely terrifying conjecture formed in Lin Yu's mind.
He stood on the silent, empty street, only feeling that those fated spears he thought he had avoided were now shooting toward him at a terrifying speed...
...
Lin Yu's fear left Xu Mingyao completely baffled.
For over an hour, despite being beaten, scolded, and even threatened with his life, he had not shown a single trace of fear, as indifferent as if his life didn't even belong to him.
But now, she had merely shoved a girl into his arms, and he was this scared?
Is there something mentally wrong with him?
Xu Mingyao looked at the man before her, who could not be judged by common sense, feeling deeply puzzled.
To verify the guess in her heart, Xu Mingyao grabbed Ye You's slightly messy long hair, lifted her up a bit, and then pressed her face against Lin Yu's.
Lin Yu shuddered violently, as if he had been stuck to something horrifying.
If it weren't for the ropes securely tying him from behind, Xu Mingyao had no doubt he would have scrambled far away on his hands and knees.
"What are you afraid of?"
Xu Mingyao frowned, asking with a mix of bafflement and slight novelty.
"What am I afraid of?"
"A woman?"
"Do not joke around."
"The thing I like most in this life is women."
In a single breath, Lin Yu calmed down considerably, but his slightly trembling lips still betrayed him. The way he forced himself to lie even looked a bit cute.
"Is that so?"
Xu Mingyao found it even more amusing. She finally revealed a smile that held more amusement than ferocity, saying:
"Then I will just compensate you with her."
"Consider it medical expenses for me laying a hand on you?"
While speaking, Xu Mingyao kept a close eye on Lin Yu's reactions.
Sure enough, when she mentioned compensating him with Ye You, he grew even more nervous. The sweat on his forehead gathered into beads and dripped down.
Xu Mingyao could not understand it, she really could not.
She could not understand why something like this could scare him so much.
Could it be because of that so-called pure love reason?
That would be far too absurd and ridiculous.
Or perhaps it was...
...
Because of Qing Mo?
At this thought, Xu Mingyao raised a long eyebrow.
Did Qing Mo say something to him, demanding that after having her, he was never to touch another woman?
Otherwise, she would make him pay a price he could not bear?
Following this train of thought, the more Xu Mingyao thought about it, the more it made sense.
Otherwise, why would a grown man be afraid of such a thing?
"Alright, I have no objections."
Lin Yu let out a laugh, but this time his confidence was even weaker, unable to suppress the trembling in his voice.
Lin Yu's terrified demeanor further cemented the idea in Xu Mingyao's mind.
He was definitely afraid of some very serious consequences.
If that was the case...
Then she had even less reason to let him off easy!
Xu Mingyao nodded. She stood up, looking down at Lin Yu from above, and said with a smile:
"Very well, I will satisfy you then."
"And not just her, how about I leave these people here to keep you company too?"
Xu Mingyao pointed at Wang Yanyan and the others, asking as a final probe.
