Villain: My Thoughts Are Being Overheard by the Heroines!

Chapter 3: Threatening Me Means a Miserable Death, Got It?

After doing all of that, the “deranged” Gu Jinnian once again walked up to Lin Zhixin.

[He’s got to show up now, right? I even opened the damn door for you.]

[But really, when you think about it, this crooked-mouth protagonist is so fake. He always shows up at the last minute. What a scumbag.]

[Alright, time to keep going.]

At this moment, Gu Jinnian’s inner voice rang out once again—clearer than the last two times.

Lin Zhixin furrowed her brows, her emotions tangled.

Even though Gu Jinnian didn’t move his mouth, she was now completely sure—that voice came from him.

But… if that was true, then does that mean this really is the world of a novel?

If so… what does that make her?

Just a shell created by someone?

No! She had her own thoughts, her own personality. She was not some mindless puppet!

Lin Zhixin bit her lip hard. Her eyes grew misty, looking pitiful.

At the same time, Gu Jinnian began moving again.

He wore a dark expression, the corners of his mouth twisted into a maniacal grin as he walked toward Lin Zhixin step by step.

But Gu Jinnian clearly didn’t realize that all the thoughts in his mind had already been heard by Lin Zhixin.

Watching him approach, Lin Zhixin blinked slowly.

Even though she knew this man didn’t truly mean her harm, she was still a woman. Facing this kind of situation, fear was natural.

As he got closer, her panic grew.

Lin Zhixin opened her mouth, as if trying to say something.

She clearly wanted to expose him, “Stop pretending. I can hear your thoughts. There’s no need to act anymore.”

But… even though the words reached her lips, they just wouldn’t come out.

It was as if something was suppressing them.

It was unbearable.

She was doomed.

That moment completely broke Lin Zhixin.

Her heart went cold.

Was she really just a created puppet?

Why else couldn’t she speak?

In the next second, unwilling to give up, Lin Zhixin struggled hard and sat up from the floor.

With furrowed brows and every ounce of her strength, she tried again to speak.

No doubt about it—there was still no sound.

And… her strange behavior left Gu Jinnian dumbfounded.

[Uh… what’s with this woman? Is she getting eager now?]

You bastard!

Who’s eager? Your whole damn family’s eager!

Sitting on the floor, Lin Zhixin’s expression darkened.

Her delicate face instantly lost all color, looking even more pitiful.

But Gu Jinnian didn’t care at all.

In an instant, he was standing right in front of her.

They were just inches apart.

Then—

Riiip!

What exactly made that sound… well, use your imagination.

“You shameless scum!” Lin Zhixin, like a lamb waiting for slaughter, glared through tears and shouted in anger.

But all she got in response was another one of Gu Jinnian’s thoughts:

[Now there’s no problem. The cliché love plotline can finally begin! Tsk! Finally, I get a few days of rest. Nice!]

Whew—

Gu Jinnian gripped Lin Zhixin’s clothes.

His expression stayed cold, but deep inside, he was overjoyed.

Taptaptap—

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.

And then—

A rather average-looking teenager appeared at the hotel entrance.

His eyes were bloodshot, fists clenched tight, radiating killing intent.

“You bastard! Are you asking to die?!”

…

Hm?

Heh!

Big baby’s finally here, huh?

You damn bastard. I just ripped the clothes, and now you show up?

Why are you suddenly so punctual?

Seeing the crooked-mouth protagonist, Gu Jinnian’s face turned grim on the surface, but inside, he was thrilled.

Looking at that familiar face, Gu Jinnian gave him a cold, vicious stare.

He entered character and shouted with anger, “Who the hell are you, brat? You dare ruin my plans? Are you tired of living?!”

Gu Jinnian forced out this stupid line all at once.

Ye Chen, hearing that, just let out a mocking chuckle.

His lips crooked into the classic crooked-mouth smirk.

Then he folded his arms and leaned against the hotel wall—full of arrogant flair.

Seeing him putting on airs, Gu Jinnian quickly matched the act and began a classic rage fit.

He pulled out his phone: “Where the hell are all of you? Get over here, now!”

Clearly, he was calling his underlings.

Ye Chen, still leaning against the wall, gave an even more disdainful smile.

That annoying smirk of his—full of fake charm.

Then he started walking toward Gu Jinnian with the steady stride of a smug veteran.

That contemptuous gaze was as if he was looking at a bug.

Full-on protagonist pose.

Every step he took screamed I’m better than you.

And Gu Jinnian? He played right along.

He gave Ye Chen a flustered, panicked look.

Seeing that, Ye Chen’s disdain only deepened.

“What do you think you’re doing…?”

Gu Jinnian obediently recited the next line.

He even pretended to raise his fist a little.

After all, he was the number one young master of Tongyun.

Even if scared, he couldn’t look too cowardly.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t match his status.

As he finished the line, Ye Chen walked right up to him and smirked:

“Threatening me? That’ll get you killed in the worst way, got it?”

Gu Jinnian: Got it? You’re asking me?!

I got your damn message, you ugly bastard!

Calling Ye Chen ugly wasn’t even wrong.

Gu Jinnian’s looks crushed Ye Chen’s completely.

Tall, handsome, with sharp features and a height of 6’3″. Compared to Ye Chen, who was barely 5’7″, Gu Jinnian had every right to call him an ugly freak.

The next moment—

After delivering his “cool” line, Ye Chen looked over at Lin Zhixin lying on the floor.

!

The moment he saw her, Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Lin Zhixin, sixth on Tongyun City’s beauty rankings, truly lived up to her reputation.

Wearing her office outfit, sitting on the floor, she looked like a delicate flower on the verge of blooming.

Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, her delicate face radiant and flawless, her eyes blinking softly—she was a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

So full of allure.

Even Ye Chen nearly couldn’t resist.

He nodded slightly and thought to himself, “Only a woman like her deserves someone like me.”

Not only was she breathtaking, she also came from a powerful family.

A beauty like this was truly one in a million.

With that thought, the corners of Ye Chen’s lips curved into a meaningful smile.

Then he stepped forward and said in what he thought was a gentle voice:

“Xin’er, are you alright?”

It was clear from his calm face that Ye Chen was bursting with excitement inside!

Why?

Because he was the hero in this classic save-the-beauty plotline!

You get it, right? Hero?

What girl doesn’t like a hero?

No doubt about it, right now, Lin Zhixin must be totally moved!

Boohoohoo—
