Chapter 7 Chapter 7: Meeting The Male Lead
Chapter 7: Meeting The Male Lead
Although the original host was prone to jealousy, her envy was directed solely at Su Tao. Within her freshman class, the original host actually had quite good social standing. Basically, as long as someone casually praised the original host, they could naturally become friends with her.
She had fewer female friends. But her male admirers were quite numerous.
The haggard, bare-faced photo was posted, accompanied by a long string of apologies, multiple words piled together, making one deeply feel that she must have gone through something very painful.
Bits of concern and confusion appeared under the post.
You Ge: “Little Cheng, are you alright? Are you sick? Why do you keep apologizing? Who upset you?”
Huahua Junzi: “Who’s the person in Little Cheng’s picture? She looks so cute.”
Xiang Dang Xiaocheng De Gou: “This must be Little Cheng’s bare-faced photo, right? Your complexion is a bit off, but you’re too beautiful! Why do you usually wear makeup? Makeup just makes you look worse!”
Xiu Hua replied to Xiang Dang Xiaocheng De Gou: “What do you mean makeup makes you look worse? You jerk, do you even understand the beauty of a girl’s makeup? If you don’t, then don’t jump around under other people’s posts, alright? And choosing a name like that, isn’t it disgusting?”
Xiu Hua @Chi Xiaocheng: “Chengcheng, don’t mind them. Beautiful makeup is the source of a girl’s confidence. You look much worse like this than when you’re made up. Did something happen? You can tell me.”
Yang: “Heh, if that’s Chi Xiaocheng, I’ll eat three pounds of crap! It’s clearly a heavily Photoshopped and filtered picture!”
Seeing this scene of doubt, Chi Xiaocheng didn’t get angry either. Influenced by her girlfriends, the original host almost always wore makeup when posting on social media or attending public events. Bare-faced, she looked like a different person, so being questioned was only natural.
However, that person with the ID “Xiu Hua”…
Chi Xiaocheng’s gaze gradually turned icy cold.
This person was one of the original host’s three core girlfriends, having known her since high school. After they both got into Jiuzhou University together, they even chose the same dormitory. In their daily lives, she constantly praised and flattered the original host. What seemed like concern actually created all sorts of anxiety for her. The original host’s hostility towards Su Tao was certainly due to this girlfriend’s meddling. The crucial thing was that the original host foolishly believed everything these girlfriends said!
She had just transmigrated, and this score, she would have to settle it bit by bit.
After resting well, Chi Xiaocheng took a piece of paper and began to plan her next moves.
First, before the various male leads came knocking, she needed to make a breakthrough with Su Tao. If she got into trouble, she could still rely on Su Tao to resolve it.
Thinking from a different perspective, if she were Su Tao, and her childhood friend, who had targeted her for over two years and whom she thought had turned dark and hated her, suddenly revealed that she actually loved her. But hate born from love. What would the person she had always valued do when they became a yandere because of her, and she was left at a loss?
“Ask someone nearby!”
Chi Xiaocheng wrote it down. She put herself in Su Tao’s shoes, and after adopting her character’s persona, she realized that when confused, Su Tao would definitely look for a point of support and seek help.
“And she wouldn’t go to those male leads, because this matter concerns me.” Those male leads already disliked her, and asking them such questions would only make things worse.
Because of her actions, Su Tao had not, like in the original story, despaired of the character “Chi Xiaocheng” and ceased to sympathize, allowing the male leads to kick her out of the game. Instead, she was harboring a bit of confusion and incomprehension!
“So, according to the original story’s setting, besides me, Su Tao’s other close friends are…”
Chi Xiaocheng furrowed her delicate brows, feeling a headache coming on. In her previous life, she hadn’t actually read this book; it was just too popular. From time to time, she would stumble upon AI novel videos and had heard about it through casual mentions. She only knew parts of the plot development, not the detailed settings.
“System, be of some use, don’t be so useless.”
Helpless, she could only place her hopes on this golden finger that only knew how to complain.
The system replied very professionally.
“Recommended that host use emotional points to purchase the novel 'Annihilating All Cannon Fodder Female Villains, All Male Gods Into My Arms'. Each chapter can be purchased for 5 emotional points, allowing you to understand the story’s progression.”
Chi Xiaocheng slowly typed a question mark. “I asked for a tip, and you come up with something so hardcore? And 5 emotional points for just one chapter? Why don’t you just rob me!”
She herself only had a dozen or so points left; perhaps due to the social media post, she had gained a few more points during that hour of rest.
“Can I see the table of contents for this novel first?”
“Yes.”
Chi Xiaocheng quickly scrolled to around Chapter 100 on the system panel. Sure enough, in Chapter 108, she saw the chapter title – “The Death of Chi Xiaocheng”.
“Saving my life is the first task, and I need to insert myself into the later plot to generate emotional points from other characters in the book. I should buy as many of the later chapters as possible!”
But who could provide the emotional points in her current state?
Chi Xiaocheng pondered the various characters in the novel, her gaze gradually stopping on the person with the ID “Yang” who had just replied to her social media post.
One of the novel’s many male leads – Dongfang Yang.
In the original host’s memory, this person was the least involved with her among the currently appearing male leads.
“He’d eat three pounds of crap if I was bare-faced? I wonder if a young master like him will keep his word.”
Chi Xiaocheng opened WeChat and sent him a message: “Are you there?”
Watch closely, this is a masterclass.
Yang: “Chi Xiaocheng, you still dare to come looking for me?”
Obviously, he already knew about Su Tao being imprisoned by the original host. At this moment, his location showed him to be at a private hospital.
Chi Xiaocheng had originally intended to send a voice message, leveraging her loli voice for an advantage, but then she remembered that his favorability towards her was in the negatives. Even the best voice quality would only backfire.
So she typed: “I’m sorry, I’ve clearly realized my mistake! I’ve already told Su Tao that I won’t disturb your life anymore in the future. I just wanted to apologize to you one last time.”
“I truly realized my mistake!”
In front of these male leads, the yandere persona wouldn’t work well.
Dongfang Yang coldly replied: “Heh, so starting today you won’t like me anymore, and you won’t bother me anymore, is that right?”
Although it hadn’t been many times, the original host had confessed her feelings to Dongfang Yang a few times. Without exception, all had been rejected. Moreover, because of the original host’s attitude towards Su Tao, Dongfang Yang had grown to increasingly detest her.
Speaking of Dongfang Yang, among the many male leads, he was considered more of a “losing dog”. At first, he treated the female lead as a sworn younger sister. Gradually, influenced by Su Tao’s female lead aura, and with the potent allure of her “white moonlight” charm, he joined the fierce competition among the other male leads. His favorability towards Su Tao hadn’t reached a level of complete devotion, which was also why Chi Xiaocheng sought him out first.
After a moment’s thought, she composed a message full of feigned innocence: “I’m truly sorry. After Su Tao’s guidance in the basement, I truly realized my mistake. And you probably wouldn’t think much of someone like me anyway, would you? It was my lack of self-awareness before that bothered you.”
The three words “in the basement” clearly piqued Dongfang Yang’s interest. Two messages immediately followed.
“It’s good that you understand. Don’t go daydreaming, someone like you, I could never be interested in you my entire life.”
“The Zhuxia Cafe at school, I’ll be waiting for you there. You must tell me exactly what happened in the basement!”
