Shen Yi despised Lin Nian.
Although the two had never clashed, Lin Nian always made Qin Jiao unhappy. This was true even though, objectively, Lin Nian was the one who had pushed Shen Yi and Qin Jiao together.
But Shen Yi knew perfectly well that they had been a resentful couple in their past life. The only reason they could be together properly this time was because they had both changed so much.
He cherished this chance at a new life.
He shot Lin Nian a cold glance. "What do you want?"
Lin Nian stared at the main villain from the book.
Shen Yi. Shen Feng’s half-brother—short-tempered, irritable, narrow-minded, and in poor health.
He was also a bit obsessive and unstable, and his actions were always extreme.
He had dropped out of school early and spent his days causing trouble for Shen Zhengfeng and Du Liya. Later, he became Shen Feng’s constant rival, always trying to suppress him and trip him up. He even attempted to go after Qin Jiao just to spite Shen Feng. In short, he’d never done a single good thing and ended up a complete failure.
But now...
Shen Yi was a top student at a prestigious university. He was handsome and carefree. Rumor had it that tons of girls at school were chasing after him. Where was the obsessive, unstable figure described in the book?
On top of that, he now owned a clothing factory and a courtyard house. ’A courtyard house! Others might not realize it, but Lin Nian knew exactly how valuable that property would become in the future!’
Not to mention, the Shen Yi of today was a man with incredible potential.
And without the gloominess described in the book, he looked sunny and handsome.
And he was all tangled up with Qin Jiao!
And all of this was her own doing. She had personally delivered Qin Jiao right to Shen Yi’s side!
Lin Nian stood there, rooted to the spot, not saying a word for a long moment. Shen Yi had no desire to deal with her in the first place, so he turned to leave.
Lin Nian jogged a couple of steps to catch up. "Shen Yi, don’t you know? You’re not Qin Jiao’s true love!"
Shen Yi stopped short. He turned back to look at her, his eyes hostile.
But Lin Nian stepped closer and continued, "She’s quite the center of attention at school now, isn’t she? I hear a lot of guys have their eyes on her. Since you’re her boyfriend now, you’d better watch out."
Shen Yi: "..."
He clenched his fists, his brow tightly furrowed. Thinking she had hit a nerve, Lin Nian quickly pressed on, "There’s a guy in the law school named Xu Zhengyang, have you heard of him? He’s always been smitten with Qin Jiao. You’d better keep a tight leash on such a great girlfriend. She’s not exactly the type to settle down."
She wasn’t just making things up.
When she had seen that sophomore law student, Li Man, at the hair salon, Lin Nian had recalled from the book that the person Li Man liked was named Xu Zhengyang. And in the original novel, Xu Zhengyang was the classic, devoted second male lead who was hopelessly in love with Qin Jiao.
But back then, because Shen Feng was in the picture, Qin Jiao had only ever treated Xu Zhengyang as a good friend.
Now, the plot had changed. Qin Jiao was with Shen Yi, but Lin Nian had found out from Li Man that Xu Zhengyang had still fallen for Qin Jiao.
Shen Yi stared fixedly at Lin Nian. Just as his dark gaze was making her heart pound, he said coldly, "Stop spreading rumors. If you dare say another bad word about Jiao Jiao, I won’t hesitate to break my own rule about not hitting women."
’No, when it comes to people who bad-mouth or bully Jiao Jiao, there’s no difference between men and women!’
Seeing the ferocity in Shen Yi’s eyes, Lin Nian stumbled back two steps in shock. "I’m doing this for your own good! Shen Yi, do you really know Qin Jiao?"
"For my own good? Lin Nian, are you sick in the head? Aren’t you Shen Feng’s woman? I’m warning you one more time: if I ever hear you say a bad word about Jiao Jiao again, I’ll hit you every single time! Now, get the hell out of my sight!"
Staring at the suddenly terrifying Shen Yi, Lin Nian was scared out of her wits. She immediately spun around and fled.
’It felt as if he really would have hit her if she’d been a second slower!’
’This Shen Yi really is just like the book described—he’s sick! A total psycho!’
