Chapter 15.2

　　Without giving him a chance to complete his sentence, several individuals covered his mouth and explained that it was merely their speculation.

　　In spite of their efforts, Yi Jun was not in the right frame of mind to digest their words, as his mind was whirling with images of Yi Zhou and Jin Yumeng together. With all that he had done at the engagement party as the precedent, Yi Jun could not help but suspect that either Yi Zhou had plans to steal Jin Yumeng from him, or they had long since become a couple.

　　Noticing he sprang up and rushed out with a whoosh, several dandies hurriedly attempted to get hold of him, persuading him to calm down.

　　With red-rimmed eyes, Yi Jun exclaimed, “Let go of me!”

　　Even so, the dandies refused to let go. “Easy now. Let’s not lose our cool. Perhaps, it might just be a misunderstanding.”

　　Turning a deaf ear to their words, Yi Jun wanted nothing more than to give Yi Zhou a piece of his mind.

　　Of course, the dandies would do whatever it took to stop him. After a series of intense pulling and tugging, the side of the greater numbers came out victorious. Due to his state of inebriation, Yi Jun was affected by his unsteady gait and ran into the door before falling to the floor with a thump.

　　A deafening silence came over the private room as the gobsmacked dandies lifted the drunk and sent him home together. After exchanging a few words, they planned to have the troublemaker give Young Master Zhou an explanation for his behavior.

　　A loaded silence settled over the crowd as the media went up to him.

　　After declining all the requests for an interview, Jing Xi was finally willing to work on his mission at the sight of the vibrant scene before him. “What’s the next bug?”

　　System answered, “The subsequent bugs are related to the relationship between the male and female leads, as they are key plot points that serve as catalysts for a change in their opinions and feelings toward each other.”

　　Meanwhile, Jing Xi was examining the rules for Anipop¹ 消消乐: Also known as 开心消消乐, Anipop is a tile-matching game developed by Happy Elements. It is one of the top puzzle games in the China region and has a cute animal theme. You can check out their website here:
https://en.happyelements.com/games/xiaoxiaole . “Would you say that nothing is as important as bringing the male and female leads together in those romance novels of yours?”

　　“I guess so?” System bemoaned, “The male lead’s two childhood friends actually have a large part to play in this arc, but now, they have all transferred to another university because of your presence. In the latter part of the series, one of them triggers the alarm in his bracelet and even forms the side couple.”

　　However, beggars could not be choosers, especially when the world had collapsed to this extent. As such, it would be tingling with contentment so long as the main storyline did not go haywire.

　　With that, Jing Xi caught on to what it was System was saying. “So they were not the ones who sucked the original host dry in the original storyline? Otherwise, they would not be able to continue their studies here at the university.”

　　System emphasized, “Of course not! With the female lead’s uprightness, she would have utterly abhorred the male lead’s childhood friends if they had bitten someone to death, especially when someone she knew was involved.”

　　Jing Xi guessed, “Was it those two I encountered at the beginning?”

　　System corrected, “No, it was not them either. Instead, it was two other wolflings in the male lead’s circle. However, as soon as they caught wind of you, they immediately headed for another region to have fun. Shall I pass you their names?”

　　Jing Xi stated, “No need.”

　　Since no additional clauses were written on the contract, it signified the original body’s apathy. Now that this was of no significance to the other party, who was he to make a fuss about it? Without a moment’s delay, he recurred to the previous topic. “In order to debug this storyline, all I need to do is to have the male and female leads in a committed relationship as soon as possible, right?”

　　System affirmed, “Yes, that is right.”

　　“Well, that’s gonna be rather tricky,” Jing Xi sighed softly, “I’m utter rubbish at being a matchmaker. On the other hand, I’m the best person to approach when it comes to making one’s life miserable.”

　　System encouraged, “… One must have the courage to try new things. Moreover, you have wrapped things up beautifully the previous time.”

　　Yet, Jing Xi thought inwardly, ‘Well, all I had to do was to set up a meeting and nothing else.’

　　After contemplating for a moment, he reckoned this was a decent idea. Thereupon he completed his registration and hopped onto his sports car to drop off his luggage at the dorm. Followed on, he contacted the male and female leads to invite them for lunch at the cafeteria.

　　Since Gese University required all first-year students to live on campus, Jin Yumeng and Duan Xiuwen had long since arrived in this city. Upon receiving his message, they followed his shared location to the cafeteria entrance. As soon as they raised their heads, their eyes met in midair.

　　Duan Xiuwen was rendered speechless, while Jin Yumeng expressed surprise at the sight. “You’re also a student here?”

　　Nodding his head, Duan Xiuwen noiselessly followed his future aunt into the cafeteria and headed for a booth table.

　　Just when Jing Xi was about to propose for them to explore the campus this afternoon, after his eyes flickered between both of them, his phone started ringing. He looked down and found that it was his step-brother calling. Without a second thought, he picked up the phone and answered, “Hello?” 

　　Due to his hangover, Yi Jun was only able to contact him at this time. Gritting his teeth in silent fury, he asked, “Where are you?”

　　Jing Xi replied, “Cafeteria.”

　　Yi Jun goaded, “Dare to share your location with me?”

　　Jing Xi smirked, “What’s there to be afraid of?”

　　As soon as the words left his mouth, he shared his location with Yi Jun.

　　Five minutes later, his phone began to ring once more. This time, it was from a certain friend who was also suffering from a hangover. Since he did not dare to speak with Jing Xi directly, he sent a lengthy message explaining last night’s happenings.

　　After skimming through the text, he raised his head just in time to see an enraged Yi Jun come charging headlong in their direction, followed by a pure white flower² 小白花: an internet slang for someone who pretends to be kind, innocent, and lovable. Usually, they are scheming women who would garner pity and affection from others through their weak appearances. with a gloomy countenance.

　　All of a sudden, he chuckled, “Don’t say a word, you two.”

　　Jin Yumeng and Duan Xiuwen gaped at him with wide eyes for a good moment, flabbergasted and speechless. Before they had a chance to raise a question, someone madly launched himself toward their direction like a tornado crushing all obstacles in its wake.

　　From his angle, Jin Yumeng, who had her back to him, was not in view. With only Yi Zhou in sight, Yi Jun bore down on him with the intention of making a grab for his collar.

　　Yet, Jing Xi effortlessly caught him by the wrist and utilized his wild momentum to pull him closer. Without further conveyance, Jing Xi leaned down and grabbed the back of Yi Jun’s head with his other hand before hurling him into a table.

　　In an instant, a loud bang assaulted their ears as Yi Jun’s forehead thudded against the table, collapsing in a heap with a moan.

　　Jin Yumeng and Duan Xiuwen were utterly thunderstruck at the sight.

　　However, Jing Xi directed, “Have you calmed down? Come on, get up and speak.”

　　As he said so, he turned sharply to look at the wolfling next to him. “Why don’t you get him a piece of tissue, Little Bro?”

　　His sudden request had left Duan Xiuwen at a loss for words.

　　‘Won’t the hierarchy be messed up if you call me Little Bro? Wait, no! What the hell is going on?’

　　With an uncertain side glance thrown at a certain individual who stirred up trouble without even realizing it, he placed his utensils down and maintained a poker face. However, he wondered if he made the right choice to not transfer to another university.
