Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 198

“Idiot, why didn’t you dodge!”

The soft, pretty boy’s eyes were faintly red.

His words sounded harsh, but with that delicate, quivering voice laced with a sob, they only made him seem all the more irresistible.

Lin Yao heard his own heartbeat thunder in his chest.

“I… I’m already like this, so there’s no need to—”

He was already drenched to the bone.

The boy cut him off.

“If you’re already wet, that’s even more reason to avoid it! What if you catch a cold?”

In the story’s setting, Lin Yao was a sickly, fragile beauty—any small breeze could make him ill. And now, completely soaked like this, he’d surely fall sick.

Thankfully, she had just redeemed an umbrella with her points in time.

If he got drenched again, wouldn’t he end up bedridden for three days straight?

Ruan Tang quickly shrugged off her oversized jacket, rose on tiptoe, and draped it over Lin Yao.

It was still a little small.

Though Lin Yao was thin, he was still a boy—his frame was broader, and he stood a full head taller than her.

Ruan Tang felt a little embarrassed.

“Just make do with it for now…”

Upstairs, a few boys who had been making trouble leaned out the window, jeering.

“Hey, who the hell are you? Stop meddling—”

But the moment Ruan Tang lifted her head, they instantly fell silent.

Damn. How could anyone look this good?

Exquisite as a doll in a shop window, with peach blossom eyes blazing brightly in anger—her gaze was practically soul-stealing.

All three of them, realizing they’d just bullied someone in front of such a breathtaking beauty, actually felt a twinge of regret.

And then, out of nowhere, the boy below spoke a baffling sentence:

“What’s your system number?”

The three exchanged confused looks.

System number? What the hell was that supposed to mean? Never heard of it.

“Hmph. No system? Then you’re not hosts. Which means you acted out of your own will.”

That made it even easier—no reason to go soft on them!

Ruan Tang turned to Lin Yao.

“How long have they been bullying you?”

Lin Yao hesitated slightly. “A month.”

A month ago, he had just transferred to this school.

He hadn’t done anything at all, but somehow he’d been singled out by those three and targeted with endless harassment.

Hands on her hips, Ruan Tang raised the tip of the umbrella toward the boys upstairs, her soft voice sharp as a whip.

“I curse you all to suffer terrible luck every day for the next three months! During that time, you’d better do some deep reflection!”

She had exchanged points for a Curse Aura!

It wouldn’t kill them, but they’d definitely be miserable!

With that, she grabbed Lin Yao’s hand and started to leave.

But after only a few steps, she suddenly thought of something.

She shoved the umbrella into his hands. “Wait here a sec!”

Lin Yao stared blankly as the delicate, almost otherworldly boy suddenly jumped straight into the fountain pool.

The water was fairly deep, and she was so small—once she plunged in, it rose all the way to her chest.

Lin Yao’s face went pale. “What are you doing! Get out of there!”

He made to jump in after her, but Ruan Tang’s sharp scolding stopped him cold.

“Stay put! If you come down, I’ll be mad and I won’t talk to you anymore!”

Her puffed-up, fierce expression looked less like a threat and more like a kitten with its fur bristled—utterly unthreatening, almost cute.

But Lin Yao was terrified by her words: “I won’t talk to you anymore.”

His hands trembled as he clutched the umbrella, like a drowning man clinging to a floating branch.

He pressed his lips tight, and after a moment whispered:

“…I’ll behave. But please, just come back up soon, okay? The water’s so cold…”

Of course, Ruan Tang wasn’t really a kitten anymore, and she wasn’t afraid of water.

She swam skillfully to the middle of the pool, retrieving the soaked books floating there.

Cradling them carefully in her arms as though they were priceless treasures, she climbed back onto the bank.

“These must be important to you. They’re wet now, but they can still be saved. Don’t give up on them.”

She smiled sweetly, handing the books to him. “Don’t give up on yourself, either.”

Lin Yao’s throat tightened.

These books were relics of his late older brother. The very reason he had chosen his current major was because of that brother.

—He had almost given up.

Not just on the books, but on himself as well.

His eyes reddened. Just as he lifted his gaze to say something, he froze.

The thin shirt clinging to the boy in front of him had gone half-transparent from the water.

Beneath the soaked fabric was smooth, pale skin—

And a body far too delicate, too shapely for a boy.

The bandages wrapped around her chest were coming loose, threatening to reveal curves that shouldn’t belong to a “boy” at all.

Lin Yao’s breath hitched violently.

Ruan Tang realized something was wrong, glanced down, and her vision went black.

Her face burned scarlet as she clutched her chest. “D-Don’t look!”

But that motion only made the bandages unravel further.

She wasn’t just protecting her modesty—she was protecting her entire disguise!

Lin Yao flushed as well, his handsome face tinged pink. He hurriedly turned away.

“S-sorry, I…”

Before he could finish, Ruan Tang bolted like the wind.

…

【Wuwu, system, did I just mess everything up…】

Ruan Tang knew she shouldn’t have interfered.

She wasn’t supposed to disrupt the storyline. She was supposed to just be a background extra.

—But she really couldn’t stand it!!!

Those guys had gone too far!

【Relax, relax. If you ever stopped breaking storylines, that’s when I’d be worried.】

The system actually comforted her.

【Besides, the Lord God already said this is a vacation world. You can do whatever you want! What’s there to be afraid of?】

【So what if the plot collapses! You’re demolition crew by nature! You’ve already wrecked seven worlds—not one or two, but seven! What’s one more?】

Ruan Tang’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

【Wuwu, system, you’re the best! I love you the most!!!】

The system blushed.

【Really?】

【Of course!】

It giggled foolishly to itself.

What arrogant Lord God? What twisted villain? None of them mattered. Because it, a small little system, had won Tang Tang’s heart first!

System (smug face): I’m amazing!
