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

This woman is simply too brilliant, described as so perfect, and her worldview is so upright. How can the protagonist’s confession attract such an ethereal woman? It’s quite the challenge. In the end, the author just said no one ever confessed to her, leading to this result. If that reason worked, wouldn’t everyone start confessing? There’d always be some missed opportunities.
But as Mu Jinli feared, her character indeed didn’t have much presence. No one would take a university student as the main female lead. The male lead has a career to pursue; a university girl could only represent everyone’s idealized view of campus life.
If the story went that way, there’d be no way to depict the female lead’s growth, just saying she was naturally amazing. However, Mu Jinli felt a bit angry at this moment. This protagonist really managed to get close to her.
“Has no one ever told you that you’re like a red koi, swimming every day without knowing where to go?”
Not only Mu Jinli, but even the other female leads around Chen Fan felt sick to their stomachs. This line—sorry, it’s unbearable.
“I …”
“Take this. If you’d like, I can protect you so Chen Fan won’t bother you. You must know his reputation.”
Mu Jinli responded, “Even if Chen Fan is awful, at least he’s a virgin, right?”
Chen Fan froze. His martial skills were advanced enough to overhear conversations that normal people couldn’t.
Ling Yuyan couldn’t hold back any longer and started laughing.
The other two girls were confused.
“Mu Jinli said Chen Fan is a virgin, and that’s a good thing.”
Lin Qingyue laughed so hard she cried. Chen Fan, with a darkened face, said, “I knew you were here to mock me. You really do like Ye Aotian, don’t you? Watching me make a fool of myself makes you happy, doesn’t it?”
Jin Lan patted Chen Fan’s shoulder and said, “Actually, it’s not that bad. It’s a good quality of yours. You don’t know that you’re quite famous in Qincheng, do you?”
“Famous?”
“Yes. The boys in Qincheng might all look up to Ye Aotian because he built himself up from scratch. Naturally, many people admire him. But most girls like you because you’re rich, don’t lack women, yet you’re still a virgin. Girls think you’re excellent and self-disciplined.”
Ye Aotian looked at Mu Jinli and couldn’t come up with a response.
What … How should he respond? His mind went blank.
Chen Fan figured it was time to make his move. If he didn’t step in, this scene would veer off-course. If he let Mu Jinli improvise, things would definitely spiral.
Without a word, Chen Fan rushed out and said, “You just won’t leave, huh? What’s wrong, chasing after Mu Jinli again?”
Ye Aotian looked at Chen Fan and replied, “Oh, isn’t it Young Master Chen? So, you like eavesdropping, huh?”
“Not eavesdropping, just taking a walk. Happened to see someone shamelessly confessing.”
“Who are you calling shameless?”
“You, what of it? You think the school is like the outside world? There are rules here. Try touching me.”
Chen Fan approached Ye Aotian with a superior expression.
Ye Aotian said, “I can’t do anything to you, but I never thought you’d target this innocent girl.”
“Her? She’s just my bodyguard. I paid for her services. I can do whatever I want. Jealous? If you’re going to talk like that, maybe I should put in a bit more effort. Come here.”
Chen Fan commanded authoritatively. To be honest, Chen Fan even felt his words were too harsh, but as long as they served his purpose, it was fine. Chen Fan certainly didn’t want Mu Jinli to come over. If she did, it’d be a problem.
His arrogant, domineering attitude and degrading remarks would repel any woman. Then, she’d naturally fall into the protagonist’s arms.
Ye Aotian angrily shouted, “Show some respect. She’s a person, not an object or some prize in our rivalry.”
“I do as I please; who are you to stop me? Aren’t you coming over?”
Mu Jinli’s mind worked quickly, and then she walked to Chen Fan’s side.
She bowed her head in silence.
Chen Fan instinctively put his arm around Mu Jinli and said, “Hey, Ye Aotian, feeling angry? Look, your dream girl is someone I paid to hire.”
“Indeed, money is a wonderful thing. With power and money, you can do anything.”
Ye Aotian finally lost his temper and shoved Chen Fan. It was just a gentle shove, making Chen Fan loosen his grip. He could sense Mu Jinli’s grievance.
Indeed, Mu Jinli felt wronged, but she would rather stand by Chen Fan than by this dumb protagonist. But when Ye Aotian’s hand touched Chen Fan, Chen Fan’s mind cleared up instantly. Exerting force, he quickly flew out. And jumped straight into the river.
Soaking in the river, Chen Fan decided to stay underwater for a while, waiting for the lead and Mu Jinli to leave so he could emerge with a raging spirit.
But the situation onshore wasn’t what Chen Fan had imagined.
Mu Jinli placed a knife at Ye Aotian’s throat and said, “If you want to die, I can help you with that. Who do you think you’re touching?”
Jin Lan and Lin Qingyue stepped forward, glaring at Ye Aotian.
This man was doomed.
Ling Yuyan looked at the female leads in shock.
She also seemed to be a female lead, so should she join in and like Chen Fan too? That might not be so bad.
Ling Yuyan pulled out her scalpel, ready to join the fray. This is the perfect chance to eliminate the protagonist.
