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

Chapter 14: Did I Steal the Scene?

Looking at the scene before him, the first floor of Lin Real Estate had fallen into a bizarre and awkward situation.

A man with his arm bandaged and his head looking like a mess was waiting on the side for his moment to heroically save the damsel in distress. On the other side, Chen Fan had hidden a bouquet of flowers behind his back.

As for Lin Qingyue, who had just walked out of the elevator, she was wearing a white dress, her eyes filled with arrogance.

What the hell, you’re wearing a white dress today? Something’s off, very off.

Chen Fan wanted to leave; he felt like he had come at the wrong time. Today wasn’t the right day to confess, and he didn’t want to get humiliated. Even the male protagonist was stumbling through.

How could this happen? Aren’t you supposed to be the male lead? Is this really necessary? Maybe I should let you heal up and confess later. By then, I might at least have enough strength to get a little scratch, right? Yes, I should be able to take at least a little damage. I have to make sure he hits me hard enough for a “-1 damage value” to appear. Otherwise, how will the plot continue? But now that I’ve shown up, it would be awkward to just leave. Whatever, even if I can’t leave, I’ll try to.

Turning around, he started sneaking out.

Lin Qingyue stood there for a while before saying, “Chen Fan, stop right there.”

Chen Fan halted his steps. Turning back, he awkwardly said, “Xiaoyue, long time no see. I missed you so much.”

Pfft, what kind of line is that? Damn it, I said the wrong thing.

Lin Qingyue asked, “Why did you try to leave when you saw me?”

“I wasn’t … leaving, I just suddenly remembered something urgent. I thought I should head back first.”

Lin Qingyue quickly strode up to Chen Fan.

Face to face, she stared at him.

“Then what’s with the flowers you’re holding?”

“Ah … the flowers.”

Damn it, why are you talking to me? The normal plot went like this:

Chen Fan, this rich second-generation heir, holds a bouquet, dressed in a white suit, and carrying a ring, blocking Lin Qingyue’s path. Then, with deep affection, he says, “Xiaoyue, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?” Lin Qingyue would then mercilessly reject him and throw in a mild insult for good measure. Chen Fan, thick-skinned as ever, would persist.

The male protagonist would make his entrance, dashingly swooping in and embracing Lin Qingyue. That’s the original plot of the novel!

But now, you, damn it, the female lead has taken the initiative.

Chen Fan took a deep breath. Whatever. Who cares what the others are doing? I’ll just play my part. Fine, you do you.

“Xiaoyue, I like you.”

With that, he took out the bouquet.

Lin Qingyue stared at Chen Fan, not saying a word, just glaring, her eyes filled with pride and anger.

For a moment, there were no lines.

The main issue was that Chen Fan had never encountered such a wildly unpredictable female lead, and he suddenly forgot what he was supposed to say.

“Bro, come on, say something, keep going!”

Ye Aotian also felt a bit awkward. What would it mean if he stepped in right now?

Chen Fan says one “I like you” and I jump in as the hero to save her? That wouldn’t be right, would it?

“And then?”

Lin Qingyue threw Chen Fan a lifeline.

Chen Fan quickly picked it up and said, “I like you. You’re the star in the sky, the eternal sun in my heart. I’ve liked you since we were young, and I’ve been waiting for you all these years. Please, be my girlfriend, won’t you?”

Finally, he remembered his lines.

Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with deep affection, as if he could melt a person with just his gaze. Even he was getting lost in the emotion.

I’m in character, definitely in character.

Lin Qingyue’s face flushed slightly.

?????

What the hell? Are you running a fever? Yeah, you must be sick. In the original plot, your face should be pale. Why are you blushing now? Stop it, you’re scaring me. Sister, don’t frighten me like this.

“You … really waited for me all this time?”

Wait a second, Director, this guy is improvising! Dock his pay, you’ve got to dock his pay! Why isn’t he sticking to the script?*

“Yes, I’ve been waiting for you. Every day, I think about you, hoping for your return. I know my family has put pressure on yours, but I hope you can understand my love for you.”

“I see.” Lin Qingyue nodded.

Chen Fan watched as Lin Qingyue took the bouquet from his hands.

He was overjoyed inside.

It’s happening, it’s happening. It’s about to happen.

Chen Fan closed his eyes.

He was ready.

In the next second, the flowers would slap him in the face, and then he would have to shamelessly persist.

This scene, I’ve got to nail it today.

But after keeping his eyes closed for a long time, the flowers never came.

Chen Fan opened his eyes and saw Lin Qingyue standing there silently.

“I … feel a bit flattered. I didn’t expect you to wait for me so long.”

And then?

“We were so young back then, just playing around, but I’m sorry. I don’t want to be in a relationship. I want to focus more on my career. You deserve someone better.”

Why are you being so gentle? Why are you being so polite to me? Hit me already! Damn it.

“So, are you rejecting me?”

Lin Qingyue said, “I think we can start as friends and get to know each other again.”

Who wants to be your friend? I’m your lapdog, who the hell wants to be your friend? It’s over. The plot is veering into unknown territory. If you do this, how is the male protagonist supposed to make his entrance? Whatever, you’re forcing my hand.

Chen Fan suddenly reached out, pulling Lin Qingyue into his arms, saying, “I don’t want to be your friend. I want you to be my bride, my lover, my wife.”

Lin Qingyue was startled.

She never expected Chen Fan to make a move.

Ye Aotian was dumbfounded too.

What the hell, why are you touching my woman?

But Lin Qingyue didn’t resist, nor did she struggle, she just let herself be held.

What the hell! Fight back, damn it! Come on! System, did you see that? She forced me into this. I was coerced!

Without hesitation, Chen Fan kissed her.

At that moment, time seemed to stop.
