Sudden Confession

Su Chen didn't know exactly what kind of trouble Yang Yuxin had encountered. He couldn't tell what it was, but it definitely was something advantageous for him. Su Chen wanted to laugh, but when he saw the furious glint in Yang Yuxin's eyes, he held back and consoled her, "What happened? You look so affected."

Yang Yuxin huffed, "Something strange happened, it's driving me crazy," expressing her discontent. Su Chen became interested, noting that many things could frustrate Yang Yuxin as she was the type not to admit defeat. If something had her stumped, it had to be interesting.

"What happened? Tell me so I can— well, enjoy it. I mean, help you figure it out." Yang Yuxin, detecting the insinuation in Su Chen's words, glared at him fiercely. She gritted her teeth, sending chills down one's spine. 

"My sister called. She's coming with us!" 

Yang Yuxin said helplessly. "She's at the airport, waiting. Yang Danxuan told me, 'She won't let you off and will definitely cling to you.'" Yang Yuxin took a deep, unhappy breath and coldly continued, "Those were Yang Danxuan's words, disgusting," she finished, pretending to vomit.

Su Chen was momentarily stunned but quickly collected himself. This was expected; after all, Yang Danxuan was always supposed to come. It was just that Yang Yuxin had tried to deceive her and apparently failed. He didn't really care about these things, being used to it. In fact, if these women acted normally, it would seem stranger to Su Chen. He glanced at Yang Yuxin, thinking that she'd bitten off more than she could chew.

[Wait, am I the actual fool here?] 

[It always feels like these female protagonists have conspired against me, all acting the same!] 

[Luckily, the villain tasks aren't too crucial now since the main character's luck is split.] 

[But what happens when everything returns to normal?]

[With these female leads acting like this.]

[Yang Danxuan is acting oddly proactive, which isn't her style!] 

[And traveling with these three women might land us in the headlines, especially Yang Danxuan.]

[It might seem like I'm living the dream, surrounded by women.] 

[But what about the later plot, especially with the national idol Yang Danxuan? The impact will be huge!] 

[How will I play the villain then? I'll be cornered!] 

[Why didn't I anticipate this?]

Su Chen was puzzled internally. Yang Danxuan's usual persona was that of a mature, dignified woman. How did she suddenly become as proactive as Yang Yuxin? Was it the adage, 'One takes on the color of one's company?' But looking at Yang Yuxin, she didn't seem negatively influenced.

He asked Yang Yuxin pointedly, "Are you an idiot? You confidently said you fooled Yang Danxuan, but now she's right here at the airport." Yang Yuxin was speechless and frustrated, "Who would've known that wretched woman eavesdropped on our call? Everything's exposed. She's not just at the airport; she even bought tickets." 

She was utterly exasperated. Su Chen was deeply resigned; how could she be so careless under the same roof? He was always on guard at home. How could Yang Yuxin be so thoughtless? Then a realization struck him: how did Su Xian'er come to know about this? He initially thought it was from his mother, but that wasn't it. Pondering, he couldn't figure it out. Shaking his head, he decided to deal with Yang Danxuan first.

He inquired, "Where is Yang Danxuan? You said she's at the airport, but I don't see her." Yang Yuxin sneered, "That wicked woman's in the restroom, hoping you'd find her. She's too shy to approach with Su Xian'er around." Su Chen was dumbstruck. 

This excuse sounded incredibly flimsy. Did Yang Danxuan just want to lure him to the restroom for some nefarious purpose? The thought frightened him. But Yang Yuxin quickly explained, glancing at Su Xian'er, "With her around, my sister's too shy to approach."

Su Xian'er laughed innocently, "Are you implying I'm unreasonable?" She looked like a gentle, harmless young woman, far from threatening. However, both Su Chen and Yang Yuxin knew beneath that gentle exterior was a devilish heart. Su Chen glanced at Su Xian'er, finding her unusually calm, showing no hint of negative emotions.

This surprised him quite a bit. He couldn't understand why. Could the little witch have changed her nature? She didn't seem angry at all. Su Chen chuckled, thinking that his previous training might have had some effect. He went to look for Yang Danxuan, after all, he had promised her something before. 

He couldn't just abandon her now. But thinking about it all made him feel weary. The current situation felt like a novel being adapted into a television drama, where even though the original characters were retained, both the characterizations and the plot had undergone massive changes. This was just too strange. Things were becoming increasingly abnormal. It was one thing for the female lead to have problems, but now even characters like Yang Danxuan started to steal the spotlight, desperately wanting to go out with him. 

Moreover, it was like she was trying to take advantage of him. Su Chen didn't mind, though. However, when he thought everything was fine, a murderous intent flashed across the face of Su Xian'er, whom he had just left. When Su Chen arrived at the restroom, he saw a figure with a perfect figure. Even though it was in public, she still attracted a lot of attention. 

Many male passers-by couldn't help but take an extra glance. Even with sunglasses and a mask, Su Chen recognized her immediately as Yang Danxuan. And she seemed to have noticed him as well, rushing over with a small suitcase. She had been quite flustered with all the attention earlier. Even though she was a big celebrity, she was rarely in the public eye, so she wasn't used to being the center of attention. 

Su Chen's appearance made her feel much better. But she was quite annoyed since Su Chen took so long, leaving her to be stared at with malicious intentions. "Su Chen, you're finally here," she exclaimed. "I'm so annoyed. Why did it take so long? I'm so tired standing here, help me!" Su Chen was puzzled. Why was she acting so intimately? 

It put him under a lot of pressure. Whether to help her or not, both choices seemed wrong. Without waiting for Su Chen's agreement, Yang Danxuan just took the initiative. With a bright smile, she said, "Let's go quickly, the plane is about to take off." 

"Wait," Su Chen said seriously, looking at Yang Danxuan. "Tell me honestly, why did you come? By all accounts, you shouldn't be here. We've hardly met before." Su Chen paused, glancing at their intimate posture, suggesting that their behavior didn't match the short time they had known each other. "So, tell me the truth." 

Yang Danxuan retorted, "Who said we've only known each other for a few days? I've been thinking about you for a long time." Su Chen's previous words indeed stopped her planned lie. She had intended to say something about being concerned for her sister Yang Yuxin. But she felt even she wouldn't believe it. 

After a moment of determination, Yang Danxuan earnestly said, "It's because I like you. I wanted to go on vacation with you. Also, I didn't want to give Yang Yuxin a chance to be alone with you. It makes me unhappy! I don't mind your relationship with Yang Yuxin, because I really like you!" 

After expressing herself, Yang Danxuan felt much happier. Su Chen, however, was stunned. He replied in annoyance, "Are you kidding? We haven't known each other for long, do you think I'd believe that?" But thinking of Yang Danxuan's character and her emotions when she spoke, it didn't seem like she was lying. 

"Okay, the plane is about to take off. Let's not discuss this now. We can talk more about it later if we have time." After saying this, Yang Danxuan didn't cling to Su Chen anymore, and directly left with her suitcase, leaving a bewildered Su Chen behind. 

[Is she joking? It doesn't seem like it, though!]

[Although we haven't known each other for a long time, her actions are so strange.] 

[This doesn't make sense!] 

Su Chen pondered internally, but then he felt it might not necessarily be the case. 

[I have to take this opportunity to find out.] 

He couldn't even imagine what Qin Yu would do if Yang Danxuan really fell for him. A sudden realization struck: any harm done to the male protagonist, Qin Yu, would be immeasurable. Fortunately, there was still someone with the protagonist's luck, which was a silver lining in this misfortune. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what to do. As Yang Danxuan walked ahead, panic surged within her. She had mustered the courage to speak those words, but Su Chen's reaction left her apprehensive. 

His disbelief was evident, which made Yang Danxuan anxious. She silently muttered to herself, "I wasn't lying; I meant every word. If only you knew what's in my heart." While Su Chen was oblivious to Yang Danxuan's feelings, the other two were well aware of his thoughts. They exchanged glances, deciding to collaborate and not let Yang Danxuan's schemes prevail. 

They intended to savor the benefits first, while Yang Danxuan could settle for the leftovers. After the plane took off, Su Chen quickly closed his eyes to rest. Under normal circumstances, if the male lead and female lead boarded a plane, there would surely be ridicule from others. Yet, now he, the villain, was with these female leads. 

If someone were to ridicule, Su Chen couldn't stand idly by; he'd have to act, ensuring a strong retort. However, this didn't align with the villain's character. To avoid such situations, he chose to sit in the first-class section, accompanied only by the three female leads. Watching their alluring figures, Su Chen contemplated the situation. 

The plot had deviated entirely from the original, making the original story irrelevant. The system was unresponsive, leaving Su Chen to figure things out on his own. It was challenging. Among them, Yang Danxuan's life trajectory had changed the most. 

Initially, she was the primary female lead in the male protagonist's eyes. Now, she's entirely detached from the storyline, relinquishing her lead role. Speaking of Su Xian'er, she had long escaped. Overall, among the three female leads, Yang Yuxin was the most troublesome, causing chaos wherever she went. 

Her original character was that of a female antagonist who had feelings for him. In the original story, there was a chance she could be won over. Hence, Yang Danxuan became the most affected female lead, now entangled with him, the villain. As for the butterfly effect this would cause in the future, Su Chen was unsure. 

But for now, no major incidents had occurred, suggesting that none would. Upon reflection, Su Chen realized that as a villain, his actions could have restarted the plot countless times. But if it hadn't, it indicated no significant issues. 

Moreover, having the beautiful Yang Danxuan by his side was pleasant. Contrary to Yang Yuxin's carefree attitude, Yang Danxuan was nurturing and kind-hearted, the ideal wife material. Being surrounded by the three top female leads, he anticipated delightful days ahead. 

Su Chen reflected on his struggles and felt that his current situation wasn't excessive but rather justified. Everything was cyclical, after all. The only thing he had to ensure was that Su Xian'er wouldn't interfere with his affairs. She was too formidable. The two male protagonists might not even be a warm-up for her.

Originally, Su Chen had great confidence in the male protagonist because after all, he was blessed with great fortune. But recent events made Su Chen increasingly feel that the male protagonist was too weak. One after another, the female leads faced major issues and ended up in the embrace of the major antagonist, yet the male protagonist continued to suffer.

Seeing the captivating appearances of the female leads, Su Chen suppressed the wicked thoughts inside him and began to reflect on himself. Could it be that he had been wrong all along? Even though he's the male lead, even though he's the male lead of an indulging story, his thoughts might not be so perverse after all. Although there are indeed many female leads, it's very likely that this isn't a story about winning the hearts of women.

After all, the script would change with each of his reincarnations. If it changes too much, perhaps even the main storyline would be altered. Now, even though the male protagonist seems to be greatly suppressed, he's actually just bottling up his emotions. As long as he fully releases them in the end, all problems would be resolved.

The return of the war god clearly indicates a significant development. The female leads are actually not crucial at all. Strictly speaking, even if all the female leads treated the male lead this way, there's not the slightest hint of the story collapsing. All of this is actually just a test for the male lead. As long as he can turn the tables at the crucial moment, it would be fine.

"Perhaps that's how it should be?" Su Chen thought, but he quickly lost his confidence. "How could there possibly be such a novel?"

"In this novel, everyone is actually just a supporting character. As long as the male lead is fine, no problems will arise." Currently, even though the male protagonist Qin Yu has faced such huge setbacks, he can still bear it in his heart.

[Forget it, I need to relax properly during this vacation.] 

[It's like a break.] [When you all can't keep up later, don't blame me.] 

[If there's anyone to blame, it's you for being too proactive. I've now let go of all my burdens.]

Yang Yuxin and Su Xian'er's faces turned red instantly. They both heard Su Chen's inner thoughts.

Su Xian'er exclaimed, "Scumbag!"

"Shameless!" Yang Yuxin retorted.

Only Yang Danxuan looked confused.

At that moment, Su Chen suddenly became self-aware. The enlightenment of the male lead is always high, while he is more suited to be the antagonist. From the beginning to the end, he has always advanced the plot through the female leads, his attention fixated on them. This perfectly fits the character setting of an antagonist.

Unable to contain himself, Su Chen complained, "I don't want this either. Normal men, with all these female leads described as having beautiful eyes, good waists, and legs, and great figures..." The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After all, he had no issues, these are natural human feelings, so he could only curse out, "Damn author!"
