It was noon. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran slipped past the dorm supervisor and made his way quietly into the girls’ dorm floor. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Ren Jiaojiao and Mu Zhaozhao had already made arrangements—today was the day Jiaojiao would start moving in. As Wang Haoran helped Zhaozhao clear off the clutter from the vacant bed, his gaze naturally drifted to the new girl. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“What the hell are you staring at, huh? Never seen a beauty before?” Ren Jiaojiao snapped, clearly annoyed by his wandering eyes. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran arched a brow, unbothered. “Then why were you looking at me? Haven’t seen a handsome guy before?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I wasn’t looking at you,” she shot back. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“If you weren’t looking, how’d you know I was?” he replied, calm as ever. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“You—!” Ren Jiaojiao’s jaw clenched, her hands balling into fists as though ready to punch him. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Come on, you two,” Mu Zhaozhao stepped in quickly, waving her hands to ease the tension. “It’s just a small thing, not worth arguing over.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Fine. I’ll let it slide—for Zhaozhao’s sake,” Ren Jiaojiao huffed, still clearly irritated. “But let me warn you—if you keep looking at me with those pervy eyes, I swear I’ll beat the crap out of you.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
And with that, she turned and marched out of the room, heading off to haul up the next load of luggage. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Mu Zhaozhao gave a small laugh. “This Senior Jiaojiao’s kind of like a female thug, huh. Is this your type?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Don’t even joke about that,” Wang Haoran replied instantly with a shake of his head. Truthfully, if Ren Jiaojiao wasn’t a potential female lead, he wouldn’t have bothered giving her the time of day. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
His real reason for being here was to scope out any potential new protagonist leads—perhaps someone helping Jiaojiao move. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But what caught him off guard was that she was doing everything by herself. No guys, no helpers, just her brute strength and stubborn attitude. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Still, tomboy types have their own appeal. Are you sure you’re not into that?” Zhaozhao pressed. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Absolutely not,” he replied flatly. “If I had to pick between her and you, I’d much rather go for you—the sweet big-loli type.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He nearly bit his tongue at the end of that sentence and quickly rolled it back with a cough. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Zhaozhao’s cheeks flushed, but she gave a mock-threatening glare. “Careful what you say. I’ll tattle to Sister Yunhan.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I didn’t say anything bad. It’s true—your proportions are definitely… developed,” he said with a meaningful glance at her dangerously curvy figure. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Zhaozhao’s face turned redder. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
She hesitated for a beat, then leaned in slightly. “Between Sister Yunhan and me… who do you like more?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran didn’t answer. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Because at that moment, the subject of the conversation walked right in. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Zhaozhao, what’re you up to? I thought we were—oh, you’re here too?” Qin Yunhan raised a brow as she spotted Wang Haoran. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Helping Zhaozhao clear her dorm,” he replied casually. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Nice. We’re heading to lunch after, you should come with,” she said, tossing him a smile. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Sure,” he nodded. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Zhaozhao, why’s your face so red?” Yunhan asked, noticing her friend’s glowing cheeks. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Is it?” Zhaozhao blinked, reaching up to touch her face. It was burning. “Must be the heat. Haha…” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Right then, Ren Jiaojiao stomped back in with another box in her arms. “Heard y’all shouting about lunch. Count me in.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Qin Yunhan glanced her way, unimpressed. “And you are?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I’m Ren Jiaojiao.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Oh… the sophomore campus belle, right?” Yunhan muttered, vaguely recalling the name. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“That’s me! I’m moving into this dorm floor. Let’s get along, yeah?” Jiaojiao said with an overly bright smile. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Heh.” Yunhan offered a tight, perfunctory smirk. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
After they finished moving everything, the group headed to the campus canteen. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Once they ordered food, Jiaojiao offered to get everyone drinks. She jogged off and returned a few minutes later with four bottles—one each for Wang Haoran, Qin Yunhan, Mu Zhaozhao, and herself. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran unscrewed his bottle and raised it to his lips. But just as it touched his mouth, his hand froze. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
There was something off about the drink. Not poison, but definitely contaminated with something he didn’t like. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Zhaozhao and Yunhan had already taken sips from their bottles, but he said nothing. Their drinks were clean. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
It was just his that had been tampered with. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“You’re not drinking?” Jiaojiao asked casually, noticing his hesitation. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Not thirsty yet,” Wang Haoran replied, calmly sealing the cap and setting the bottle aside. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
For a split second, Jiaojiao’s eyes betrayed a flicker of disappointment. She recovered quickly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The food arrived, and everyone began eating. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Ren Jiaojiao, true to form, ate with zero decorum—chomping down like a starving man, slouched in her seat, limbs spread. At the end of the meal, she tipped her head back and chugged her entire drink in one go, letting out a massive burp without a trace of shame. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Zhaozhao and Yunhan exchanged a look. They both burst into giggles. The girl was so brash, so unapologetically wild, that she somehow became endearing. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran, meanwhile, frowned. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He’d seen many female leads—his standards were sky-high. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
This Ren Jiaojiao, acting like a foul-mouthed tomboy with the manners of a construction worker? He had zero interest. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
If it weren’t for the fact that he needed her as bait to uncover the protagonist, he wouldn’t even give her the time of day. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
After lunch, Jiaojiao got up and stretched. “I need to hit the bathroom. You girls coming?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Both Zhaozhao and Yunhan shook their heads—they hadn’t drunk nearly as much. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
So Jiaojiao headed off alone. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
While they waited outside, Wang Haoran grew bored. He casually activated his X-ray Vision. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
And what he saw inside the bathroom made him choke. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Ren Jiaojiao was standing while peeing. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He stared, stunned. And yet, a few seconds later, she winced and dropped into a squat—seemed like she suffered the consequences of her bold decision. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran’s expression twisted. Just what the hell was this girl? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Even for a girl who acted like a guy, that was pushing it. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A while later, Jiaojiao reemerged, acting like nothing had happened. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Haoran instinctively took a step away from her. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The reason was simple—after suffering from her own ill-advised toilet technique, there was no way she smelled… fresh. Not that it was obvious, but it was enough to put him off. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Man, it’s so hot today! Let’s hit the pool!” Jiaojiao suggested, bouncing on her feet. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Sounds good,” Zhaozhao agreed at once. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I’m in,” Yunhan shrugged. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Then what’re we waiting for? Let’s go!” Jiaojiao whooped, and a glint of drool literally formed at the corner of her lips. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran watched her with a look of growing suspicion. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
She looked more like a pervy man than a campus belle. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A… pervy man? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The thought hit him like a slap. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Suddenly, the strange vibe she gave off, her aggressive behavior, the awkward tampered drink, the standing bathroom stunt—it all clicked into place. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He had been working off the assumption that Ren Jiaojiao was a female lead, and so he he did waste any Villain Points investigating her background. He thought as long as he kept an eye on her, the protagonist would eventually appear. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But what if he was wrong? What if Ren Jiaojiao wasn’t just a side character? What if… she was the protagonist? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A male protagonist? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Without hesitation, Wang Haoran used his system to investigate. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

【Current Progress: Mu Zhaozhao – 25%, Qin Yunhan – 11%】 — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Wang Haoran narrowed his eyes, lips curling ever so slightly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
So that’s how it is… — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
