Lin Yu was dumbfounded.
Standing on stage, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
The voice from the loudspeaker continued endlessly.
"I'm a dog! I'm a dog! Woof woof woof~"
"When I was young, I even peeped at Widow Wang from the neighboring village while she was bathing..."
He couldn't hold it together anymore!
The thousands of students below couldn't keep their composure either.
"What the hell is going on? Isn't this supposed to be a self-criticism meeting? Why is he barking like a dog?"
"Peeping at Widow Wang bathing? I've got to hand it to this guy"
"Drama! More drama!"
"This guy... he's obviously been set up. Wonder who he offended?"
"Is there even any need to guess? It must be Young Master Jiang! I heard that Lin Yu offended Jiang Che right when he transferred here. With Young Master Jiang's temperament... he's definitely going to destroy him!"
"Lin Yu is probably going to face social death. If I were him... I'd be so embarrassed I'd want to spiral straight into the ground"
......
Standing on stage, Lin Yu was indeed incredibly embarrassed, with thousands of mocking gazes fixed upon him.
He was so mortified he wanted to sink into the ground.
With his proud nature, encountering such a situation... was absolutely unbearable.
At this moment, the school leaders finally realized what was happening, and a man in a suit walked onto the stage.
He snatched the microphone from Lin Yu's hand.
"Lin Yu, what nonsense are you spouting? This is your self-criticism meeting! Not a place for you to act crazy!"
The sudden criticism left Lin Yu completely bewildered.
"Can't you see? Someone's trying to frame me! This is clearly a setup!"
Lin Yu desperately tried to explain.
But the school leader's eyes were filled with indifference when looking at him.
He knew very well that Lin Yu had been pranked, but in this situation... they could only let Lin Yu take the fall.
Because he was already in the wrong!
"You still think you're right? Go write a 10,000-word self-reflection!"
Lin Yu finally snapped. His nature was inherently rebellious, and he'd already been humiliated enough. If he kept enduring this... he'd become a complete pushover.
"You—"
Just as Lin Yu was about to explode, the school leader's words made him swallow his anger.
"Do you want to quit school?"
Lin Yu trembled with rage, powerless and without influence, his immense strength had nowhere to be unleashed!
The frustration was unbearable!
"Creak creak~" Lin Yu's tightly clenched fists made creaking sounds.
He had been set up!
How could Lin Yu not understand by now that the cave dwelling he went to was completely fake!
He should have known... how could his master possibly have installed an electronic door? And inside there was a "Five Years of Research, Three Years of Practice" exam preparation book?
And such bizarre password questions?
Someone had definitely set him up.
The treasures in the cave dwelling must have fallen into someone else's hands.
"Damn it! Who's trying to mess with me?"
Suddenly, Jiang Che's image appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that guy? But that's impossible... how would he know I was going to the secret cave dwelling? It couldn't be him!"
"But it must be someone at school!"
Lin Yu wracked his brains but still couldn't think of who else he might have offended!
Only Jiang Che came to mind.
"Heh... Jiang Che, you've signed your own death warrant!"
Whether or not Jiang Che was behind this, he would make him pay!
......
All morning, Ye Mengyao had been building up her courage.
Finally... she mustered up her nerve.
She walked up to Jiang Che and placed an invitation card on his desk.
"Jiang... Jiang Che! I'm having a birthday celebration at the end of the month. This is your invitation. I attended your birthday last year... you won't refuse to come, right?"
Ye Mengyao's words had practically cut off all of Jiang Che's escape routes.
"Birthday party?"
Jiang Che examined the invitation card Ye Mengyao had handed over, showing a slight smile.
This plot point did exist in the novel - Ye Mengyao's birthday party.
This was also a minor plot point where Ye Mengyao and Lin Yu first grew closer in the story.
During the party, a young lady from another second-rate family, out of jealousy towards the perfect Ye Mengyao, slipped an aphrodisiac into her drink, intending to humiliate her publicly.
After being drugged, Ye Mengyao felt completely out of sorts.
That's when Lin Yu stepped in, playing the hero, using his godlike medical skills... with a few acupuncture techniques, he quickly cured Ye Mengyao.
After that, the young lady's attitude towards Lin Yu, her personal bodyguard, improved considerably.
But in Jiang Che's view... wasn't this completely idiotic?
Not taking advantage of meat served right to your mouth? Just from the way Lin Yu first looked at Ye Mengyao with those naked eyes...
As men, how could he not know what he was thinking?
"Jiang Che?"
Ye Mengyao called out softly, afraid that Jiang Che would reject her again... putting her in an awkward position.
On the other side, Lin Yu witnessed this scene and felt extremely uncomfortable.
The muscles in his face were twitching.
Ye Mengyao's birthday celebration?
As Ye Mengyao's bodyguard, why hadn't Ye Changkong given him an invitation?
Oh right~ his identity was supposed to be kept secret for now.
He would surely be arranged to enter secretly at the time. Thinking of this possibility... Lin Yu regained his confidence.
Besides, at such birthday parties... all sorts of people would be there, and accidents and dangers were highly likely to occur.
He would descend like a god at that time, shocking everyone...
As he thought about it, Lin Yu's mouth gradually twisted into a smile.
......
"Mm"
Facing Ye Mengyao's invitation, Jiang Che merely nodded, giving an ambiguous answer.
Of course he would attend Ye Mengyao's birthday party!
Jiang Che's inner thoughts grew increasingly perverted as his eyes examined Ye Mengyao.
Huh?
Why did it seem like her figure had improved quite a bit?
Ah... padding~
Jiang Che was speechless, Ye Mengyao truly had a young lady's temperament.
And quite competitive too.
Ye Mengyao was indeed very beautiful, radiating a girlish aura, with a faint natural fragrance about her. This scent was completely different from Yu Wan'er's.
If he had to rate her, Ye Mengyao's looks would start at least at 95 points.
To use a popular internet phrase to describe her: "I dare not imagine how fragrant she must be."
Though his inner thoughts were extremely perverted, his expression remained calm.
Maintaining his primary image of being cold on the outside but passionate inside.
"You can go now, I'll be there when the time comes"
His voice was as cold as water, giving off a feeling of keeping people at a thousand-mile distance. Ye Mengyao wanted to say something more... but couldn't get the words out.
Her almond eyes fixed on Jiang Che - even though he had agreed to come... why did her heart still feel a bit sad?
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
