020: A Family of D-Class Protagonists, Chen Dongxi Reappears With an Exclamation Mark Above His Head
"Can you open your eyes and think more clearly?"
"Sister Yubao's washing machine broke, and water was all over the floor. We're all neighbors, can't I help her?"
Qi Lin sat down directly next to Xia Jian, squeezing her so much that her beautiful eyes widened.
Whether it was the washing machine that was broken, or Tang Yubao who was "broken," or what caused the water all over the floor, Qi Lin knew best.
With a righteous look, he acted as if helping others would make them see more clearly and think more clearly.
It could be said that Qi Lin was becoming more and more steadfast on the path of being a shameless villain.
"Eh~"
Qi Lin wanted to say more.
Suddenly, he noticed a golden English letter appear above the heads of his parents, including Xia Jian.
"What a coincidence, all three of them are D-class protagonists."
Looking at the golden D on their heads, Qi Lin was speechless for a moment.
"My father and mother are both D-class protagonists. How did they give birth to me, a G-class cannon fodder?"
When the three heard that Qi Lin had actually been helping Tang Yubao fix the washing machine, their suspicions immediately disappeared.
No longer in the mood for gossip, Xia Jian pursed her lips, stood up, and said: "I despise you. Even if you're going after someone who isn't taken, you're helping someone's wife fix a washing machine—do you really think she'll become your wife?"
Qi Lin touched his nose and smiled to himself: "Why not be my wife? Maybe she fall in love with me, you know."
Xia Jian roll her eyes: "In your dreams."
···············
"Ha~"
Early in the morning.
Qi Lin yawned and arrived at work as usual.
Sitting in the security booth, he turned on the air conditioner, looking at the passersby, acting nonchalant.
"Da da da~"
Suddenly, the crisp sound of high heels echoed.
Nowadays, Qi Lin had become particularly sensitive to this sound.
He turned his head to look.
A beautiful face belonging to a young woman came into view.
"Teacher Wang, good morning! Have you had breakfast?"
Qi Lin greeted her with a smile.
The person in front of him was Wang Yunzhi, Chen Dongxi's beloved wife.
Wang Yunzhi was stunned for a moment upon hearing someone greet her.
But almost immediately, her pretty face softened into a smile, and she raised her fair, delicate hand: "I've already had breakfast, Mr. Qi. I ate at home."
As she spoke, a fragrant scent drifted from her slightly parted lips.
"Okay, then have a good day at work."
Qi Lin smiled, waving one hand, while the other slipped into his pocket, where he touched something.
Inside were the black silk stockings Wang Yunzhi had thrown away yesterday.
"Goodbye~"
Wang Yunzhi smiled sweetly and waved back.
She had no idea she was like a lamb, unaware she'd been targeted by the man in front of her. To her, Qi Lin seemed like a good young man, always willing to lend a helping hand.
"Dingling bell~"
The dull hours dragged by slowly.
Finally, the school bell rang.
As a security guard, Qi Lin's job was now to make sure no late students were allowed in.
"Squeak~"
At that moment, the sound of screeching brakes echoed.
A luxurious and imposing Maybach car parked in front of the school.
The door opened, and a handsome young man, dressed in the uniform of the No. 1 Middle School of China Normal University, stepped out.
Seeing the young man's face clearly, Qi Lin's eyes narrowed.
What terrible luck.
The person in front of him was Kangda, who had gotten into an argument with Qi Lin yesterday and had threatened to get him fired and living on the streets.
"Open the gate."
Kangda didn't even bother to see who was inside the security booth.
After receiving his schoolbag from the driver, he walked to the school gate and, as usual, spoke with an arrogant tone.
Kangda came from a wealthy family.
Even the older security guards at the school knew this, so despite being late several times, no one dared to stop him.
But today, Kangda didn't realize he was in for trouble.
Silence.
After calling out, Kangda waited for half a minute but received no response.
This caused him to frown.
"What are you, deaf?"
Kangda spoke again, his tone now more impatient.
This time, Qi Lin finally removed his earplugs, propped his head up with one arm, and responded with a smirk: "No name, no title—what, was it a cat or a dog talking just now?"
"Look at the time. Class has already started, and you're late. School rules say late students aren't allowed in. Do you understand?"
A familiar figure.
A familiar figure.
On top of that, Qi Lin had stolen Kangda's sweetheart's first kiss yesterday.
Kangda could say that even if he turned into a ghost, he'd never forget Qi Lin's face.
"It's you!!!"
Kangda's expression twisted with fury as he gritted his teeth at Qi Lin.
"What? Are you going to bite me because I won't let you in?"
Qi Lin asked mockingly.
Kangda wasn't a dog, so of course, he didn't intend to bite Qi Lin, but he certainly wanted to beat him up.
However, Kangda held back his anger.
The rules at the No. 1 Middle School of China Normal University were strict. If he attacked a security guard while being late, he'd be expelled, and not even his parents could save him.
Now wasn't the time to start a conflict with Qi Lin.
Forcing himself to calm down, Kangda called his homeroom teacher.
A while later, Qi Lin saw an old acquaintance walking towards him.
"Oh, what a coincidence. No wonder these two are so stubborn. Turns out they have a teacher-student relationship."
Qi Lin looked at the two of them standing together with interest.
"Kangda has already requested leave due to family matters. He's not late."
Chen Dongxi stood next to Kangda and spoke in a cold tone.
"And?"
Qi Lin asked with a smile.
"Let him in."
Chen Dongxi was visibly irritated by Qi Lin's tone, but the latter had the final say at the school gate. Chen Dongxi could only take a deep breath and speak slowly.
Qi Lin was about to continue teasing Chen Dongxi when suddenly he noticed something—the golden letter A above Chen Dongxi's head disappeared and was replaced by a glowing golden exclamation mark.
"Chen Dongxi has a new opportunity?"

Today is a day of heartache, I remembered my ex, guys.
Play the song "Villager - Até que durou":
"...Até que durou - ...While it lasted
Me diz o porquê - Tell me why
Perdeu tanto tempo aqui - You wasted so much time here
Te faço um favor - I'll do you a favor
Melhor eu sumir..." - It's better if I disappear... 🕺💃
