Chapter 39 Cannon Fodder
Chapter 39 Cannon Fodder
"No." It didn't even take Li Yue a second to respond. "Young Master Mo and I have no relation whatsoever."
"But…"
"That man wanted my body." Li Yue declared. "And I am not giving it to him." She shook her head as if her life depended on it. Li Yue wanted everyone to know that while her relationship with Mo Li is long gone, she is still protected by the great Villain.
As expected, both Li Weiwei and Xia Jin turned speechless at Li Yue's declaration. They eyed each other awkwardly. "Yue…" Xia Jin continued. "Your brother's career is really important to him. It would be really nice if you…"
"Is he in college?" Li Yue asked.
In response, Li Weiwei shook her head. "No. He decided not to pursue college to become a model."
"How long has he been in the industry?"
"Two years."
"Then tell him to go back to college and pursue education. Become a doctor to help his family. You two have seen Mo Li. He is a beautiful man and that's the sole reason why many teenagers like him. The same thing applies to him. The reason why he is not yet famous is because he is not good looking enough."
Li Weiwei let out a sigh as she continued to stare at Li Yue's face. Their last encounter was not really as nice as this was, but Li Weiwei understood that she was at fault too. She listened to Lu Xinyi's urgings and ended up embarrassing herself. "I understand." Li Weiwei nodded as she held Xia Jin's hands tighter. While she knew that it was Li Yue's choice to stay away, she felt guilt gnawing at her heart for what happened.
"Good." Li Yue started beaming. The Robot told her that the lead should be a nice person but even she has her flaws too. Of course, this matter was of no importance to Li Yue. She is not planning to associate herself with them in the future anyway. "Please leave… I don't want people to think that we are friends." If their enemies were to think that Li Yue is their ally, they might try and kidnap Li Yue to anger the lead. Isn't that what usually happens in novels?
"One more thing, Yue." Xia Jin said after he and Li Weiwei rose from their seat. "We are getting engaged after graduation. We would like to invite you to the engagement party."
"Why?"Naturally, Li Yue had to ask. She was just being cautious, alright? Events like these are most likely programmed to hurt the female lead. There would be a night where someone would try to drug the female lead and she would end up in the male lead's room. What if they give the drugged drink to Li Yue instead of the female lead? "No. I am busy." Without waiting for them to elaborate, Li Yue immediately declined.
She is nothing but a weak human, one without the aura of the lead. Her luck is also bad and her arms are way too skinny to survive a fight. Li Yue is no fool. She would never put herself in any form of danger whatsoever. Not when this is her last chance to accomplish a mission.
"Yue…"
"It's alright Jin." Li Weiwei's kind voice interrupted Xia Jin. "Let's not force her into doing something she does not want to." She then turned towards Li Yue. "Thank you for talking to us. This is … This is the Li Family from the village's contact information. Just in case you change your mind about our brother."
Li Yue eyed the card before she accepted it. Then she watched as Li Weiwei and Xia Jin left without saying anything else.
[The Female Lead is being kind this time] she heard the robotic voice but chose to ignore it. This robot was made to protect the leads. It should be expected that it would be a little biased like this. However, Li Yue could tell that Li Weiwei was a little kind.
Just a little, but like most people, she is not perfect. Li Yue does not have a lot of information about Li Weiwei nor did she have the means to monitor her actions. But, it would be easy to say that Li Weiwei must be suffering from the typical socialites who look down on her as she was raised in the village, far away from the city. While the Li Family from the village was not considered poor, they could not be a match to the Li Family in the Yin City. Because of this, many people still looked down on Li Weiwei and would always underestimate her capabilities.
Of course, they are very much wrong as Li Weiwei was extremely smart. A little naïve, but undoubtedly smart and talented. In the end, those who dared to challenge the lead over and over, would have a very, very bad ending. They will suffer and be tortured by the future Xia Jin. Or at least that's what Li Yue thinks. After all, she does not really know what will happen if the Villain does not fall in love with Li Weiwei and will not challenge Xia Jin.
Li Yue eyed the card in her hand before she chose to put it in her drawer. She then let out a sigh of relief as she went back to her room to study. The exams will begin in two days and she would not want to fail this time. This is for her relaxed and happy future in this world.
A future away from the troublesome leads should be a good future.
...…
Days passed. The day of the examinations came.
All Li Yue wanted this time was to get a passing grade good enough for her to get into a school abroad. She was not looking to become a top student as she knew it would be taken by either one of the leads or the smart Mo Li. After four days of hallucinating stars and numbers from thinking too much, the exams were finally done.
Which means… It is the time for the camping trip. The trip that will change it all.
