The Male Leads Who Are Becoming Stranger and Stranger [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

He walked plainly to the school, following the memories in his mind toward the classroom.

She Yi kept his head slightly lowered. His overly long black hair hung down, obscuring most of his face, giving off a gloomy and timid vibe that made him seem silent and introverted.

Class had not started yet, and the classroom was unusually noisy. She Yi entered through the back door like a “little transparent,” failing to attract the slightest bit of attention. No, one person did notice.

It was his seatmate, a sweet-looking girl.

She saw She Yi, leaned close to him, and whispered, “Are you… okay after yesterday?”

Her words couldn’t help but carry a sense of concern.

She Yi blinked. He seemed very unaccustomed to the sudden concern from the other party; the tips of his ears peeking out from his black hair slowly turned red.

“I-I’m fine.”

“That’s good.”

The girl patted her chest as if breathing a sigh of relief.

Seeing that she had nothing more to say, She Yi lay down on the desk and flipped through yesterday’s memories.

As it turned out, the girl had a suitor she didn’t like. Yesterday, when she was annoyed by his persistence, she had casually pulled She Yi over to serve as a scapegoat. In the end, the suitor left in a rage, leaving behind harsh words about teaching him a lesson and so on.

Thus, the conversation just now.

She Yi stroked the head of the little dragon poking out from his chest pocket, then took it out and placed it on the desk. Watching its skin color gradually blend in with the desk, he stroked its head once more.

Through the bangs on his forehead, his dull black eyes stared at a certain spot.

That was the protagonist’s seat, though it was currently empty.

Heh…

She Yi could naturally imagine that at this moment, the protagonist was perhaps experiencing a “wonderful” morning. As for whether he remembered that he still needed to attend class, that was hard to say.

The clock in the classroom pointed to eight o’clock. The bell rang, accompanied by the sound of the world’s protagonist stepping into the classroom.

Right on time~

She Yi shifted his gaze over.

A handsome face, sharp features, containing a hint of malevolence that shouldn’t appear on a student’s face that was something only found in those who had experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse, or even personally hacked and killed enemies.

Standing about 185cm tall with a slender build, wearing an ordinary black shirt and black jeans, he somehow made it look stylish.

It could only be said that if the face is good, everything is good.

[Protagonist’s Current Favorability: -80]

Feeling the protagonist’s gaze sweep over him, She Yi subconsciously offered a bright smile. However, he saw the other party frown deeply; without acknowledging him at all, the protagonist walked straight past him toward his seat.

She Yi narrowed his eyes. He naturally did not miss the flash of killing intent—directed at him.

Understandable. Having just experienced the betrayal of a best friend a moment ago, seeing the person in the flesh now likely stirred up a heart full of murderous intent.

Was that bloody wound also throbbing faintly with pain?

The lecturing professor entered the classroom. She Yi withdrew his gaze from observing the protagonist in secret and began to listen to the lecture seriously.

The original host, after all, was a good student.

…

The morning classes ended, and a large group of people swarmed out of the classroom. She Yi packed his bag, intending to walk toward the protagonist. Usually, they went to the cafeteria together to eat.

But just as She Yi made a move, the classroom door was kicked open with great force. Four people walked in from outside; they were not classmates and were tall and brawny.

The somewhat handsome young man in the lead scanned the room, his gaze finally landing on She Yi. He raised his chin.

The three men following him understood immediately. They walked into the classroom, came up to She Yi, and kicked his desk over with an extremely foul attitude.

“Our boss is inviting you out for a bit. You’d better be sensible.”

This violent act seemed to startle She Yi, his body instinctively shrinking back.

He should know who that young man was: the suitor of the girl who said he’d teach him a lesson. He didn’t make a move yesterday; was he impatient today?

“Lu Ming! I told you I don’t like you! Don’t involve others!”

The girl stood up, looking at the young man at the door with a face full of anger.

However, the young man looked at her with deep affection.

“Xue’er, you are mine. No one can take you away.”

When he shifted his gaze to She Yi, it turned utterly ruthless. He said, word by word:

“Some toads who want to eat swan meat should cut off those improper thoughts as early as possible!”

Having said that, he directly let the three men take action.

She Yi struggled to dodge a hand grabbing for him, his gaze frantically looking toward the back the direction of the protagonist. However, upon making contact with the other’s eerily quiet expression, he couldn’t help but freeze.

It was as if he didn’t understand why his best friend was looking at him like that, without the slightest intention of coming over to help.

In that moment of freezing, She Yi’s shoulder was grabbed, and he was dragged forcibly toward the classroom door. The students who hadn’t left yet moved as far away as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

She Yi struggled vigorously, seemingly wanting to break free from the other’s restraint, but that meager strength was insignificant against three men stronger than him.

“Xiao Yan…”

She Yi turned his head. Though he didn’t understand what had happened to his best friend, he still called out to him for help. Usually, when encountering these troubles, he would block them for him.

The young man… that is, Lu Ming, looked warningly at Jian Yan.

“If you don’t want to get hurt, you’d better not mind other people’s business.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the protagonist remained silent for a moment, but he moved. Before anyone could react, he directly knocked down the three burly men who were suppressing She Yi.

She Yi’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat startled by the sudden transformation of his friend into a martial arts expert, but he felt even more joy.

The protagonist gave him a deep look, turned around, and walked out of the classroom.

“Hey, wait for me.”

Hurriedly grabbing his bag from the floor, he chased after the protagonist’s figure. As he walked out the door, he said solemnly to the dumbfounded Lu Ming:

“I don’t like Li Xue. That’s all.”

Then, he hurriedly chased after the protagonist who was walking away.

The corner of his mouth curved up slightly, unnoticed by anyone.

…

“Whew… whew… why… are you walking so fast?”

Panting as he caught up with the protagonist, he placed a hand on his shoulder. He clearly felt the body beneath his hand stiffen for half a second, yet the protagonist did not throw him off.

No notification appeared for an increase in favorability, indicating the other party was only adhering to their usual mode of interaction, thus enduring it without throwing him off? This was something that could be exploited.

“Hey, what was with you just now? You’re… mm, not quite right.”

Jian Yan’s footsteps paused for a moment, and his body skillfully slipped away from the arm on his shoulder. Without saying a word, he strode into the cafeteria.

Queuing, getting food he was as silent as a stuffed gourd.

“Xiao Yan, you really are not quite right.”

Sitting down opposite the protagonist, She Yi looked at him. Beneath his black hair, his narrow eyes were full of concern and softness.

Snap—

The chopsticks in Jian Yan’s hand broke. The dark inkiness in his eyes was so thick it seemed about to overflow.

Hypocrite!

[Protagonist’s Current Favorability: -90]

“Why did you break your chopsticks? Wait a moment, I’ll go get them for you.”

Frowning slightly, he gave Jian Yan a reproachful look. She Yi stood up and brought back a new pair of chopsticks. His slender, fair fingers holding the two long, black, metallic chopsticks created a sharp contrast, further highlighting how his fingers were like white porcelain jade.

“Here, don’t break them this time.”

Pushing the chopsticks in front of Jian Yan, She Yi lowered his head slightly, a muffled voice coming from behind his black hair.

“No matter what, you are my friend.”

Therefore, no matter what you become, you are his best friend.

A cold snort of unknown meaning escaped his throat. Jian Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile. It was unclear if he was laughing at his own past stupidity or at the other party’s superb acting.

Thinking of his current situation and the need to maintain a “brotherly” facade with the other, Jian Yan couldn’t stop a surge of murderous desire from boiling up in his heart, though it was quickly suppressed.

Not yet. The most important thing was to make all kinds of preparations before the end of the world arrived; there wasn’t much time left for him.

As for this “good friend” in front of him, he found he couldn’t understand him at all anymore.

In his past life, he thought he treated him well in every way, yet he was betrayed in the end. It was laughable how he hadn’t guarded himself at all.

To start over once more, to see this person again did he want to kill this traitor?

Yes!

Of course he wanted to; what he hated most was betrayal. But more than that, it was complicated.

So your ambition was also that large? You could betray me for status, for profit?

Truly… I misjudged you.

“Stop following me.”

Spitting out the words plainly, Jian Yan didn’t even eat his food and walked directly out of the cafeteria. He took one last look back at She Yi, meeting those slightly stunned eyes. His expression was indifferent as his lips moved to leave a cruel sentence.

“You are very annoying.”

Having said that, he left the cafeteria without looking back.

She Yi sat frozen in place, then slowly lowered his head, biting his silver teeth, his fists clenching tightly.

“What is this…”

His suppressed, low voice was tinged with an unhideable loneliness and gloom, as well as an incomprehensible bewilderment.

Ultimately, he ate nothing. He stumbled out of the cafeteria and bumped into someone head-on. The other party’s powerful force made him retreat a few steps involuntarily, but he was in no mood to argue.

And given his usual personality, he wouldn’t dare to argue.

Keeping his head down, he hurriedly said “I’m sorry” and bypassed the person to leave quickly.

…

“Young Master Bai, do you want me to teach that kid who doesn’t watch where he’s going to a lesson?”

The refined and handsome young man withdrew his gaze from the lonely figure walking away and glanced lightly to the side.

The speaker immediately fell silent.

“Who is he?”

A deep, silky, and beautiful voice flowed out slowly, carrying a trace of ambiguous interest.

The person beside him was stunned for a moment and immediately replied:

“Young Master Bai, his name is She Yi. He is the one ranked first in grades for the entire year. However, he is not well-liked by his classmates; he is timid and introverted, very easy to bully.”

“Have you bullied him?”

“No, he has a very good friend, Jian Yan, who is very good at fighting and protects him well. So generally, people who dare to trouble him have been taught a lesson by Jian Yan.”

The young man laughed deeply and turned to walk away.

“He is… an interesting person…”
