Those Years When We Killed the White Lotus

Female Lead - Bai Wei
Male Lead 1 - Su Mo
Male Lead 2 - Lin Zisheng (our MC)

Bai Wei slowly walked towards Lin Zisheng. Her steps are delicate and graceful, and her smile is pure and beautiful. It is like an angel has fallen into the mortal world; a silent beauty that people can't bear to touch. Just that this most beautiful scene is not seen by the person she admired and hoped the most the see.

Lin Zisheng still sat there quietly on the long bench and reading the book in his hand. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves; carrying a quiet serenity. At that moment when anyone sees him, they would experience a peaceful state in their mind. Lin Zisheng obviously had an aura that keeps people away from him, but they will still have these thoughts in their hearts - peaceful, calm, and stable.

"This classmate..."

Finally, Bai Wei couldn't stand being ignored and called out to Lin Zisheng. She also reached out to pull at his sleeve. However, before her hand could touch him, Lin Zisheng closed the book in his hand and looked up. His gaze met Bai Wei straight in the eye. There were only calmness and indifference in his pure black pupil as if the person in front of him is not some pretty female but just a dead item.

Bai Wei has seen this gaze countless times before, just that it was never on her. So, seeing this caused her to feel particularly embarrassed, and even faint anger in the deepest corner of her heart. This person clearly viewed her even more important than his own life, how dare he look at her with such a gaze?!

"Are you looking for me?"

Looking at Bai Wei who stood rooted in place, Lin Zisheng's eyebrows slightly wrinkled up and an annoyed expression gradually appeared in his eyes.

Annoyed?!

A change of emotion finally appear from Lin Zisheng, but it caused Bai Wei to become angrier instead. Lin Zisheng actually showed an annoyed expression to her?!

"Hello, I am Bai Wei from Year 1, Class C. I..."

"Class C? I'm not interested in knowing you."

Lin Zisheng cut her short before Bai Wei could finish her words. Then he reopened the book in his hand and completely ignored everyone around him.

At this moment, Bai Wei really wanted to scream out. Why is everything so different from what she imagined? Shouldn't it be Lin Zisheng got captured by her charm and publicly confess to her?!

The 001 which was stealthily observing Lin Zisheng with his missions, stared at him with a face of adoration. This is its host's first time doing the tasks, but he could grasp his character's character so well. The ML2's character setting is an iceberg top student. Each major in University A is divided into 4 classes: A, B, C, and D. As a top student, he naturally doesn't care for weaklings. But why did it felt like something is wrong? 001 obviously has forgotten about their task, which is to save the white lotus. One should call the system stupid for forgetting that, right?

"This... this classmate, I, I just want to know you."

Bai Wei lowered down her head. Her voice gradually became softer, and she lightly bit her lips. If someone is to look closely, they will even see tears glazing in her eyes; a clear image of someone being bullied.

"I just saw that you didn't have any friends, so..."

That 'I came here to rescue this lonely and autistic you' look gave Lin Zisheng a burst of nausea.

"I don't need friends," Lin Zisheng closed the book in his hands, then stood up to head back to the dormitory. At the moment he passed by Bai Wei, he whispered, "I am Lin Zisheng, not Su Mo. You have gone to the wrong place."

Wh... what?! How could he know this?!

Instantly, Bai Wei's heart becomes flustered. This is her biggest secret, how could that person know about it?! Could it be... he also is reborn? Thinking of this possibility, Bai Wei is relieved and an understanding dawned on her. No wonder Lin Zisheng acted like he hated her. If he is reborn, then everything can be explained. Lin Zisheng must be blaming her for causing him to be disabled from the past life. However, he must be still deeply in love with her. Otherwise, he won't harbor dissatisfaction with her in the end.

And at this moment, the Lin Zisheng who 'harbored a dissatisfaction to Bai Wei' is being warned by the System.

[Serious warning, serious warning! Before the completion of the tasks, the host is not allowed to let anyone know about your identity as an outsider. Otherwise, you will be judged as failing the tasks and be subjected to twice the punishment.]

"Bai Wei will not think that I am an outsider." Chuckling, Lin Zisheng's tone is filled with mockery towards Bai Wei, "A retard will not has such IQ."

[...]

Host-daren actually makes sense, the system is unable to respond. QAQ

[Since Host-daren knew that Bai Wei couldn't guess, then why did you say those words?]

Host-daren is too clever that it's worrying, the system couldn't understand the pit he dug (for FL).

"In order to let her misunderstood that I am reborn."

This way, his next plan will be easier to execute.

[This... doesn’t that means Host-daren is adding difficulties to your task?]

001 couldn't understand why Lin Zisheng did that even more.

[ML2 is disabled because of her in his past life. She will definitely think that the host will come back to take revenge, then how do you raise her good feeling?]

#What to do with a Host not engaging in honest work and digging pitholes for himself? Waiting online, urgent!

"You are talking about normal people. As for retards..."

Pushing open his dormitory room's door, Lin Zisheng went in and laid comfortably on the bed. He closed his eyes then slowly explained, "She will only think that I'm harboring a dissatisfaction. She might even think that I am still deeply in love with her."

Hehe, one simply can’t deny that the brain waves between Lin Zisheng and Bai Wei at the moment are indeed in line.

"Plus, don't you think that it's easier to raise good feelings if someone who obviously hated you protects you in secret?"

Upon hearing the last sentence from Lin Zisheng, 001 expressed its respect to its host-daren like unending torrential river water.

"So, I'm done with the part with the female lead now. Next is Male Lead 1."

Actually, in Lin Zisheng's heart, ML1 is easier to take down compared to FL. The reason is simple because the male lead in this world is a fickle man who has no integrity at all. Although he(LZS) doesn't like using a 'honeypot' trap, it seems to be exceptionally useful in this world.

There aren’t any classes early the next morning but Lin Zisheng still woke up early. Bai Wei should be scared by him yesterday and won't be looking for ML1 so soon. Hence, right now he wanted to go and give Su Mo an unforgettable chance encounter. Although Su Mo didn't like men, but after the impact from seeing his(LZS) face, the impression he(SM) will get from Bai Wei should be much smaller even if they met after this today.

Lin Zisheng specially put on a white casual suit, it has the same effect as Bai Wei's white dress. Although he couldn't act like Bai Wei's delicate pitiful look, his cold temperament is equally memorable.

[Host-daren, you are my male god starting from today. Please take my knees!]

Watching Lin Zisheng fixing his appearance in front of the mirror, 001's eyes have turned into heart symbols. A pink background appeared around its body, and it looked like a besotted idiot. But Lin Zisheng doesn't blame the system because, in order to stay healthy, Lin Zisheng has a habit to exercise and keep fit. So even if his body has turned into 20 something years old, he could only look better than ever. Wide shoulder, narrow waist, long legs, and adding his face that is exceptionally delicate and slightly soft but not feminine at all; no matter who sees this, one must address him as a male god. And because of this, Lin Zisheng has quite some confidence in his 'honeypot' trap.

In the morning around 8.10, Lin Zisheng sat on the long bench under the classroom floor. Wearing a headphone and holding a book in his hand, he is no different than those students who wake up early to study under the classroom building.

[Host-daren, what are you doing sitting here? Aren't you going to get a 'chance encounter' with ML1?]

001 is a little anxious seeing Lin Zisheng being indifferent. Su Mo has walked over, but how come Host-daren still doesn't have any reaction?

Lin Zisheng didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at the group of people slowly walking over at the corner of his eyes. There are not many people in that group, probably around 4-5 people. But Lin Zisheng could see that the tallest man of them all is the center of the group. That person is Su Mo. When he saw Su Mo, Lin Zisheng finally understood why so many people fought to climb into his bed despite knowing that this person is a fickle man. Not taking account of anything else, just his face alone could cause a countless woman to pounce without any second thoughts.

A pair of phoenix eyes slightly squinted, and the corner of his mouth is carrying a lazy smile. The top 2 buttons from his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing a honey-colored chest, making him sexy and dangerous at the same time. All these were enough for women 'to rush like ducks' (scrabbles madly for something unobtainable).

Lin Zisheng: ... Coquettish to the max.

However, it is precisely because of this meeting that Lin Zisheng has his guard up. 001 gave him an introduction about how Su Mo is a fickle person, and his interest in other people has never gone over than a week, except for the female lead. But Lin Zisheng could sense that behind his wanton and unrestrained appearance hides a bloodthirsty beast. Once entangled, one is afraid it will not be that easy to escape, and even would get swallowed whole without anything left.

[Host-daren, male lead is approaching. Do your best, ganbatte~]

001 doesn't know Lin Zisheng's thoughts and anxiously urged, but Lin Zisheng has decided to give up (his current plan). Just that the other person might not be willing to do the same. As the two of them passed by each other, Su Mo's body turned slightly somehow and bumped straight at Lin Zisheng.

"Ah, sorry. I didn't see you there and accidentally bumped into you."

Su Mo bent over to help Lin Zisheng pick up the fallen books, and apologized insincerely. As he placed the books on Lin Zisheng's hands, his(SM) fingertips inadvertently brushed the back of his(LZS) hand. This skin is better than a woman's, plus this face is so beautiful that it causes hearts to beat rapidly. A pity that all this belonged to a man.

"Thank you."

Taking the books back from Su Mo's hand, Lin Zisheng raised his head and glanced at Su Mo. He nodded and said his thanks, then walked towards the direction of the library without looking back.

After Lin Zisheng left, Su Mo looked at his own hand. He gently rubbed his fingertips and the corner of his mouth carried a thoughtful smile.

"What is it, Young Master Su is charmed?" The young man at the side saw Su Mo's smile went up to ask, "Since when Young Master Su is interested in men?"

"A bit, but a pity that he is a guy. If he is a woman..."

A bit of regret appeared in Su Mo's heart. It is rare for him to meet someone who fits his taste perfectly, just that the gender is not suitable.

"If Young Master Su is not interested, then how about giving it(the chance) to me?"

The young man saw Lin Zisheng's appearance just now as well. If Young Master Su is not interested, then he is very interested. Just as the young man still wanted to say more, a hand reached out to grip his neck. Although there's no force in the grip, the young man could still feel the threat coming from the owner of the hand.

"Remember this, you cannot touch him. No one can touch him."

Such a fitting person to his taste, even he(SM) couldn't touch so how could he let other people do it?!
