University
The enormous auditorium was packed with people. With so many people all around, it was almost impossible to see anything even when one raised their head. Yet amid the crowd stood a handsome and refined man. He did nothing at all and merely stood there tall and straight, but he was still someone people noticed at a single glance and could never forget.
The man was exceptionally tall and upright, standing close to 1.9 meters. His ink-black hair was neat and clean, and his features were handsome, elegant, and exquisite. His jawline was smooth and well-defined, his brows and eyes looked as though they had been painted, and his pair of peach blossom eyes appeared deeply affectionate while carrying a trace of wicked unruliness. His nose bridge was high and straight, and his thin lips were rosy, making anyone who looked at them feel the impulse to lean in and kiss him.
He wore a white shirt and suit trousers. The buttons at his collar had been casually left undone, exposing his exquisite and alluring collarbones. Anyone who saw them could not help blushing as their heart raced, silently swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He seemed to have been born to attract everyone’s attention, like a dazzling star.
Wen Yan did not know how long she had been staring until the man slightly raised his eyes and their gazes met. At that moment, Wen Yan heard the sound of her own heartbeat, pounding violently in her chest.
Back then, Wen Yan had only seen through words how the author described Ji Yanli, how handsome he was. Just from reading those words, she had already known what kind of extraordinary face he possessed. Yet it was only when she truly saw Ji Yanli that she discovered there really were people whose beauty was godlike. Once someone had seen a person stunning enough to amaze them for an entire lifetime, whenever they saw anyone else afterward, they inevitably could not help comparing the two. Ji Yanli won completely.
Wen Yan touched her chest, feeling the heart inside pounding violently, then withdrew her gaze and tried to calm herself down. So what if he was handsome? She was nothing more than cannon fodder.
Yes, when other people transmigrated into books, they at least became a supporting female character, or someone within the protagonists’ circle. But she had gotten the short end of the stick and become cannon fodder, cannon fodder who would ultimately be eliminated by the male lead. She had only appeared a few times in the novel and had been mentioned in merely a handful of cursory sentences.
“Hey, do you know that Wen Yan? She’s really beautiful. I think she can compare with Su Ning. It’s just that Su Ning has that kind of bright, flamboyant beauty that makes it impossible for people to look away once they’ve seen her, while Wen Yan is more like… that kind who looks delicate and easy to bully yet unbelievably beautiful, completely defenseless. Her whole body is covered in snow-white, tender flesh, so delicate it looks as though it could break with a puff of air, and her skin is as smooth as congealed cream. As for her figure, though, it doesn’t match her face at all. She has curves in all the right places. In short, a perfect figure. Just one look from her and you’d practically want to hand her your heart.”
“Even so, I still prefer Su Ning’s beauty. Wen Yan is really beautiful, but everyone has their own preferences. Besides, Su Ning has a great figure too, big breasts, a slender waist, and gleaming snow-white skin. A beauty like that can steal my heart and soul just by standing there.”
“Fine. Anyway, Wen Yan is still my type.”
“But people have noticed Wen Yan after all. On the freshman rankings, Wen Yan is only one vote away from overtaking Su Ning. Awooo, my beauty!”
The recollection ended.
Wen Yan unlocked her phone and searched according to her memories. Sure enough, everything was exactly the same as the plot’s development. She was only one vote away from overtaking Su Ning. Wen Yan sighed, lightly tapped the screen with her slender, snow-white finger, then closed it.
Wen Yan lowered her eyes and gazed at the pitch-black screen. Her long, thick eyelashes trembled lightly. Her skin was snow-white, her brows and eyes looked as though they had been painted, and she had a small, exquisite upturned nose. Her snow-white pearly teeth lightly bit her red lips, staining them until they looked delicate, vivid, and enticing. Perhaps even Wen Yan herself did not know that whenever she felt somewhat nervous and countless thoughts filled her mind, she would do this, biting her red lips in an incomparably alluring manner.
She only hoped her arrival would not cause a butterfly effect. After all, the male lead, female lead, supporting female characters, and supporting male characters all came from distinguished and powerful families, while hers was merely a small wealthy family that simply could not compare with theirs.
Just as Wen Yan shifted her gaze away, Ji Yanli’s eyes landed on her, carrying a trace of laziness and nonchalance. He stared steadily at the girl below the stage. The girl wore a pure-white fitted cropped top that perfectly displayed the young woman’s full, rounded curves, like ripe peaches, pert and alluring. A pair of simple black slightly flared trousers perfectly accentuated Wen Yan’s legs, making them appear long, straight, well-proportioned, and flawless. When she slightly raised her hand, a strip of snow-white skin at her waist was revealed, resembling the pure white clouds in the heavens. It was so dazzlingly white that it was difficult to forget.
Wen Yan did not stay for long. There were simply too many people, and it was extremely crowded. Nearly the overwhelming majority of the girls had come to see Ji Yanli, which showed just how great the male lead’s charm was.
Wen Yan put away her phone and slowly made her way out of the crowded auditorium.
“Sorry, excuse me. Could you please let me through?”
The young woman’s soft, delicate, and sweet voice sounded amid the crowd. It seemed to carry a hint of sweetness that instantly dispersed the irritation caused by the crowding.
The crowd suddenly fell silent, and people even stopped moving.
The boy beside Wen Yan who had been blocking her path looked at the delicate and exquisite young woman before him and, for a moment, did not know what to say. She was simply too beautiful. Everyone had an appreciation for beauty and liked looking at beautiful things. When Wen Yan stood in front of him, he even forgot what he was supposed to say. He was afraid that speaking too loudly might frighten her. After all, Wen Yan was far too beautiful and delicate, like a white rose on the verge of swaying and falling, making people unable to resist wanting to protect her for fear of disturbing her.
Wen Yan was somewhat puzzled as to why the person in front of her was not moving, so she raised her eyes to look at him. A pair of large, captivating eyes stared unblinkingly at the boy before her. They resembled a clear spring, shimmering with rippling light, bright and captivating. Simply being looked at by her like this made one’s heart beat unbelievably fast.
Realizing that he had been staring at the young woman in front of him the entire time, the boy’s face instantly turned crimson. He immediately came back to his senses and moved aside to let her pass.
“Sor…ry, sorry. I didn’t mean to block your way. I just didn’t react for a moment.”
The boy, who had always been cheerful and outgoing, suddenly began stammering as he spoke. Coupled with his flushed face, there was no need to wonder what had happened.
Wen Yan looked at the boy in front of her, whose eyes did not even know where to look, and did not say anything more. She merely responded with a smile, “Thank you.”
The young woman’s smile seemed somewhat at odds with her delicate and exquisitely beautiful face, as though it carried an indescribable quality that was captivating and seductive. Two completely different temperaments blended together, making her resemble an enchantress who bewitched the world, causing people to involuntarily want to sink into her allure.
Even after Wen Yan had left the auditorium, that boy still had not come back to his senses. Perhaps it was not only him. Even the people around him had yet to recover.
It was only when someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed:
“Damn, she’s so… so, so beautiful. Is this real? Can someone really be this good-looking? She looks even better than anything I’d dare imagine. That’s a perfect face!”
“Exactly! She’s absolutely incredible. She completely matches my sense of beauty. Every single feature hits exactly what I like. How can there be such a beautiful girl? Aaaaaah!”
“She’s so well-behaved and sweet. When she smiled like that, I practically wanted to give her my heart. Whatever she wants, I’ll give it to her. Help!”
“Who exactly is she? I want all the information about this Young Miss within ten minutes. Wuwuwuwu, she’s too beautiful!”
Wen Yan knew nothing about the commotion that had erupted among the crowd, since she had already left the place.
However, this scene happened to fall into Ji Yanli’s eyes. He watched as that petite and captivating figure pushed open the auditorium doors and left. Her fair and delicate jade-like hand grasped the edge of the door and slowly pushed it open. Light from outside spilled over her body, making her resemble an elf bathed in sunlight, lively and alluring.
