Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

On the road, Mu Jinli pondered today’s events, which left her quite annoyed.
The reason she interacted with Chen Fan was partly her mother’s request and partly her own curiosity about this boy.
She had been reading the diary every day. In fact, the moment it appeared, she had gone to her mother, but her mother insisted that there was nothing there. This made Mu Jinli suspect that perhaps she herself was the protagonist. However, as her mother’s personality began to change, Mu Jinli started to wonder if her mother might be a special protagonist.
So, she started learning about web novels. When she discovered that such novels often featured mother-daughter plotlines, she was shocked. Were boys’ novels always this audacious?
Still, she wasn’t too affected by this; she was more curious about her mother’s role in the story. But as time went on, she saw nothing in the plot about her mother. Only after her mother approached Chen Fan did she begin to understand her mother’s identity somewhat.
And herself?
Mu Jinli decided to try reaching out; she wanted her story to be something cooler. But was this it? It was just an ordinary campus story! If it were just a regular campus story, there were already many admirers of hers at school. So why should she bother meeting a stranger?
She needed to be the most beautiful, the best-looking, and have the most attractive body. Her exam results had to be first place. If she were second, she’d feel completely depressed for a whole day. She could not tolerate being anything but number one.
But Lin Qingyue being the main female lead was hard for her to accept. The worst part was that this woman came to mock her. Yes, mock her. Mu Jinli felt that Lin Qingyue’s real purpose in sponsoring her was to mock her.
Very few novels used university students as the main female lead; Mu Jinli didn’t understand this point, but after reading several web novels, she came to the same conclusion. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Looking at the flowers in her hand, she tossed them aside without another word.
Like Chen Fan? Impossible; liking him after just one encounter would even make her despise herself. As for accepting the flowers, it was purely to disgust Ye Aotian a little.
At that moment, hidden in the woods, several people observed this scene with clear eyes.
Chen Fan took a sip of cola and asked, “What are you all doing here?”
Ling Yuyan replied, “I thought the scenery here was nice. This spot has a great view of the lake. I didn’t expect to see you here too. What’s up? Did you break up?”
Ling Yuyan understood. This woman doesn’t follow the usual script; who would act like a lady thief?
“Lin Qingyue, are you that free?”
“I … my family said I should spend more time with you, so I came to school to find you. I talked to the principal and asked him to keep an eye on you.”
Meanwhile, Chen Fan’s gaze landed on Jin Lan.
Jin Lan was happily munching on fruits.
“What’s with you?”
“What am I doing here? Do I need to tell you? Can’t I come here? Do you have a problem with it?”
Because the novel described it perfectly—under a street lamp, beside a lake, Lang Qingfeng angrily accuses Mu Jinli. Afterward, Ye Aotian pushes him into the river, leaving him soaked and in an embarrassing state.
When Chen Fan saw Mu Jinli throw away the flowers, his heart trembled.
The girls around him grew alert.
After all, they were from Chen Fan. By throwing them away, wasn’t she implying that she liked Ye Aotian instead? In fact, Chen Fan hadn’t written anything about the flowers being picked up, so the female leads weren’t aware of it.
When the flowers were discarded, Mu Jinli felt a bit uneasy. If Lang Qingfeng had given her flowers, would she have tossed them too?
If she would, then …
Mu Jinli vaguely guessed what was happening and was just about to pick up the flowers when a boy on a bicycle wobbled over. He picked up the flowers from the garbage can lid and said, “What beautiful flowers. Such a waste to throw them away.”
Riding his bicycle and looking at the surrounding scenery—great, there were street lights, and it was only bright around here.
Why don’t you just bring out a spotlight and announce to the world that the plot’s about to start? What’s even worse was that the flowers ended up in the hands of the male lead.
Thinking back to the recent rescue and now the flowers, Mu Jinli had a pretty good idea of where things were going.
“The one who gave the flowers must have feelings for you.”
“I don’t like them.”
“Maybe it’s not the flowers you dislike, but the person who gave them. What if I gave you flowers?”
Chen Fan couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
