Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 61: Greed



Chapter 61: Greed

Returning to the classroom, Su Lin saw Lin Xiaowan looking towards the door. When she saw him, she playfully rolled her eyes at him and then turned her head away, looking angry.

Su Lin, smiling, walked over and pulled a stool next to her, saying, Oh dear, who has made our little Xiaowan angry?

Who is 'our'? Watch your words, Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan retorted.

Cough cough, Xiaowan, I didn't do it on purpose. I saw Ye Feng calling you out and was a bit worried about what he might do to you. So, I followed and ended up overhearing some things. It wasnt intentional, Su Lin explained.

Hmph, who knows if you're telling the truth. This is a school, what could Ye Feng do to me? Lin Xiaowan said skeptically.

Things could be different as Ye Feng even tried to start a fight with me just now.

What, you two fought? Did you get hurt? Lin Xiaowan's eyes scanned Su Lin, checking for any injuries. You're okay, right?

Su Lin waved his hand, With Ye Feng's physique, could he really beat me? I grabbed him and gave him a knee strike. He's still lying there now.

Ugh... why were you so rough? Its one thing to hurt him, but what if the police took you away? Lin Xiaowan said angrily.

Cough cough, I was just giving that guy a warning. I've been too nice to him before, and he thought I was easy to push around, always picking fights with me. I had to retaliate, Su Lin said with a smile.

Why retaliate? Ye Feng wasn't wrong. Su Lin, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Forget about it, it's impossible, Lin Xiaowan glared at Su Lin fiercely.

Su Lin pinched Lin Xiaowan's face, What are you thinking, Xiaowan? Am I that kind of person?

Pfft! Su Lin, you're so hypocritical. Are you saying you never thought about embracing both sides? Lin Xiaowan said disdainfully.

Cough cough cough, of course, I've thought about it, but it's impossible, so I gave up on that idea a long time ago.

Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness. Neither Xiaoyu nor I would agree to that. Su Lin, it seems I need to reconsider being your girlfriend, Lin Xiaowan said seriously.

No no no, don't do that. How can you go back on your word, Xiaowan? And besides, those thoughts were just thoughts. Xiaowan, you're the one I like the most.

Go away... so cheesy! Lin Xiaowan was flustered by Su Lin's series of responses. She tried to push him away but couldn't, and when Su Lin suddenly moved his hand, she fell into his arms.

Xiaowan, I haven't even won over Ye Feng yet, and you're already so eager~~.

Lin Xiaowan gritted her teeth, I was wrong before. Youre not a gentleman at all; youre just a bad guy.

Su Lin gently tapped her nose and chuckled, Im actually quite happy to be called a bad guy, unlike Xiaoyu, who always gives me good guy cards.

Lin Xiaowan couldnt help but laugh at Su Lins remark. Xia Shiyu indeed often called Su Lin a good person, not only to him but also to her. Those good guy cards were almost issued daily.

What, youre not happy about Xiaoyu giving you good guy cards?

Su Lin shook his head, Of course not, as long as you dont give me one.

Hmph, that will depend on my mood. Su Lin, if you dare eavesdrop again, be ready to receive a good guy card from me.

Dont worry, I definitely wont eavesdrop again, Su Lin raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Seeing Su Lin like this, Lin Xiaowans anger vanished instantly. She straightened up and asked, Su Lin, how do you plan to treat Xiaoyu?

Uh, what do you hope I do?

Lin Xiaowan shook her head, I dont know. Su Lin, Xiaoyu likes you. You say you just celebrated her birthday, but after that, the way she looks at you has changed.

Uh Xiaoyus look is different? Is it that obvious? Su Lin was surprised. He didnt think Xia Shiyus gaze was any different. It always seemed the same to him.

Su Lin, you may not feel it as the person involved, but as an observer, I can clearly feel it. Xiaoyus eyes sparkle when she looks at you, theres a sweet air about her, especially the smile on her face when she looks at you.

Really? So you mean after celebrating Xiaoyus birthday, she started to like me? Su Lin thought about what happened between them that night, something he couldnt mention. If Lin Xiaowan knew, it would be disastrous.

Most likely. So, how will you treat Xiaoyu? If shes unhappy, I definitely wont become your girlfriend. Shes my best friend, Lin Xiaowan said solemnly.

Su Lin waved his hand, Dont worry, Xiaowan, by then shell probably be happier than me.

Really?

Su Lin nodded, Definitely, dont believe me? Ask Xiaoyu later.

Fine, Ill ask. Lin Xiaowan believed love was selfish. Even though she and Xia Shiyu were best friends, if both of them liked Su Lin, it should be a fair competition.

How could Xia Shiyu be happy as Su Lin said? she thought skeptically.

Hehe, Xiaowan, what I said is absolutely right.

We shall see.

When Xia Shiyu arrived in the classroom, Lin Xiaowan pulled her out. Before leaving, she glared back at Su Lin, signaling him not to eavesdrop.

Su Lin chuckled to himself; he was genuinely concerned about Lin Xiaowan earlier, how could he eavesdrop on their conversation?

Lin Xiaowan took Xia Shiyu to the end of the corridor.

Whats up, Xiaowan? Why all the secrecy? asked Xia Shiyu.

Lin Xiaowan looked at her directly, Xiaoyu, do you like Su Lin?

Xia Shiyu was startled, then nodded, Xiaowan, you noticed?

How could I not? These past few days, youve been constantly covering your face and giggling at Su Lin. Id be a fool not to notice.

Uh, I was giggling?

Lin Xiaowan nodded, Not just giggling, but looking especially silly.

Xiaoyu, I like Su Lin too. Will you compete with me fairly?

Xia Shiyu was taken aback, then shook her head, Xiaowan, Su Lin is originally yours. How could I compete with you?

But you like him.

Does liking someone mean I have to fight for him? Su Lin has been good enough to me, Im satisfied, Xia Shiyu said calmly.

Love is selfish, Xiaoyu. Dont you want to fight for your love? Theres only one Su Lin in the world, do you want to regret it forever?

Xia Shiyu looked at Lin Xiaowan, I wont regret it for life. I have you, I have Su Lin, what more could I ask for? Besides, you and Su Lin are a great match both talented, from good families. Youre a match made in heaven.

Xiaowan, if you and Su Lin were together, Id be very happy and bless you.

You Lin Xiaowan was frustrated, not expecting Su Lins prediction to be so accurate. Xiaoyu, are you feverish?

Xia Shiyu shook her head, Xiaowan, youre missing a point. For a fair competition, Su Lin must have no feelings for either of us. But now, its clear he likes you. If we talk about fair competition now, its no longer a fight!

Lin Xiaowan fell silent. She thought about it and realized Xia Shiyu was right. She liked Su Lin, and Su Lin liked her. A fair competition now would be like taking advantage of someones vulnerability.

Okay, Xiaowan, stop worrying. If Su Lin liked me, I wouldnt let him go either. Think about it, if Su Lin liked me, wouldnt you do the same?

Lin Xiaowan remained silent. If Su Lin liked Xia Shiyu, she would definitely silently bless them. Love is indeed selfish, but it requires love in the first place.

Xiaoyu, I understand. I wont ask these questions again.

Mm, Xiaowan, lets be best friends for life.

Alright! Best friends for life.

Xia Shiyu looked at Lin Xiaowans smile, squinting her eyes and thinking to herself, Xiaowan, if you have to blame anyone, blame Su Lin for his greed.

From the moment Su Lin expressed his desire for both, Xia Shiyu understood his intentions. Extremely greedy, wanting everything within reach. But she liked him and was willing to indulge him.
