The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 2] Chapter 28.1: True Love In Period Literature (5)
For several days in a row, Xiao Han could see Chen Zhan in the Peking University Library. At first, he would take the initiative to sit next to Xiao Han. Later, he came earlier than her and reserved a seat in advance. It was the kind of corner that Xiao Han liked, which was not exposed to the sunlight from the window and was quiet. Such good seats were rare.
In fact, apart from the fact that Chen Zhan came to ask questions for the male protagonist Chen Xi, he is indeed a very considerate and thoughtful boy, and would not disturb Xiao Han from reading at will.
When Xiao Han was writing the draft of her notes, she was too focused and the ink in her pen ran out. Xiao Han didn’t care and calculated in her mind at a slightly slower speed. In fact, it would be faster to let 9526 do it, but Xiao Han preferred to do it herself. Chen Zhan hurried out and brought back ink and a beautiful fountain pen, saying that he borrowed it from the teacher in the library.
The weather was hot and there was only a fan blowing in the library. Chen Zhan went out for a while and brought back two bottles of soda.
What he said was hard to refuse.
Xiao Han drank the cool but not very cold drink and thought to herself, I didn’t realize this kid is so good at pleasing people.
Chen Zhan only listened to Lin Yun praising her brother in various ways, but they also talked about other topics. For example, Chen Zhan noticed that Xiao Han said she was just looking at these books casually, but she also read them very seriously and had her own opinions and notes on the university knowledge content.
There were some outstanding people of the same age that Chen Zhan had met, but Chen Zhan felt that none of them was smarter than her.
Lin Yun can always keep up with any topic, and her words are always meaningful. Listening to her sometimes has new ideas and broadens your thinking.
Since Chen Zhan can get excellent grades in school, he must have at least some love for learning. As he watched, he couldn’t help but ask Lin Yun for advice.
He was one grade higher than Lin Yun, yet he asked her questions in return, which was a bit embarrassing.
Despite his youth, Chen Zhan was no ordinary child. He was a child of good family background. Even if he didn’t show it, he would have a little bit of arrogance in his heart. But when he was with Lin Yun, he didn’t feel that way at all. She looked younger than him, but her words and actions were not awkward. Asking her questions was like a simple discussion and learning.
If Xiao Han knew what Chen Zhan was thinking, she might say that he was overthinking it. It was just a few questions, and Xiao Han had never thought of crushing Chen Zhan.
Knowledge is something that never lies. The only things you can truly rely on are your own hard work and talent. She has traveled through so many worlds, amassed countless knowledge, and even witnessed civilizations with higher technology. It’s only natural that she knows more than Chen Zhan. If she truly becomes complacent about this, she’s the one who should be ashamed.
Let’s discuss what’s so great about crushing kindergarten kids.
Considering Chen Zhan’s age and the limitations of knowledge progress at that time, his IQ was already at an excellent level.
Of course, no matter who she is, he doesn’t mind chatting about topics related to study.
Chen Zhan liked discussing various knowledge issues with her more and more, but Xiao Han no longer planned to stay in the library.
She had almost all the information about the era she wanted to know. More importantly, Lin Yun was still a high school student and had to attend classes. Qin Qiu was slippery and impeccable, but she could find other ways to let Lin Hua know about the man and woman in advance.
Chen Zhan was also told that Xiao Han no longer came to the library. Since Xiao Han had used his help to Chen Xi to get information to anger the real person, it was a tit-for-tat. Xiao Han was too lazy to argue with a little kid and told Chen Zhan that so that he could go back to study hard and not get involved in such matters anymore.
“Aren’t you coming to the library?” The boy looked a little surprised after hearing her words, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Han treated him like a child in terms of study, but considering his background and upbringing, he was much smarter than his peers. It seemed that he would understand what she said if he thought about it more.
As a child, what’s the big deal about joining in the fun?
But she never expected that when Chen Zhan looked up again, he had an extremely serious expression on his face. He pursed his lips and said as if he was mustering up the courage, “Lin Yun, I have something to tell you.”
“I want to apologize to you. Actually, I shouldn’t have hidden this from you, Lin Yun. You should know this.”
The guilty and sincere look on the handsome young man’s face is enough to soften most people’s hearts.
Xiao Han felt a little complicated. He looked like an excellent and good boy, but he turned out to be a villain.
System 9526 was also a little confused. Wasn’t it a trick of the beautiful boy from the beginning?
After hearing Lin Yun say that she was busy with classes and would no longer come to the library, Chen Zhan’s clever brain began to work rapidly, wondering if he would have the chance to contact Lin Yun in the future.
After spending the past few days together, chatting and discussing study with her, and all kinds of wild ideas, he actually had an indescribable emotion in his heart.
It only took a few words to complete the task, and even if it wasn’t completed, it didn’t matter. It wasn’t a big deal, and his cousin wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t do it. Chen Zhan had only agreed to a small favor before, but he didn’t want to be involved in a plan that would result in a beating from his family. He wasn’t as tough as his cousin and was also very afraid of pain.
But in the end, although he was nominally helping his cousin, he spent so much time here. In the final analysis, Chen Zhan just wanted to spend more time with Lin Yun.
So when he heard that she couldn’t come, Chen Zhan couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, and he soon realized a more important point. Although he and Lin Yun had barely established a book-friend relationship for communication and learning, the fact that his cousin Chen Xi was pursuing Teacher Qin was a hidden bomb that could not be concealed for long. Once it broke out, he and Lin Yun would not even have the chance to be friends. This seemed like a paradox.
If it weren’t for Chen Xi pursuing Teacher Qin, he wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Lin Yun, but precisely because of the former, he and Lin Yun couldn’t even be friends. His cousin stole the girl from Lin Yun’s elder brother, so it would be strange if Lin Yun didn’t hate the Chen family.
While lowering his head in thought, Chen Zhan was quickly thinking about how to minimize the damage to his relationship with Lin Yun.
After just a moment’s thought, Chen Zhan chose to sell out his cousin, whom he had admired before, without hesitation.
He was even completely honest about the fact that Chen Xi asked him to find out Lin Hua’s weaknesses from Lin Yun. Lin Yun was so smart, if there was even a little bit of falsehood that made her think he was still lying, all his efforts might be wasted.
He also expressed a particularly sincere apology for this.
It can be said that all the remedial measures that can be thought of have been used. Chen Zhan does not want to leave any bad impression in Lin Yun’s mind.
Now Xiao Han didn’t even need to find other ways to tell Lin Hua. Listening to Chen Zhan’s clear account of the entire process of Chen Xi’s pursuit of Qin Qiu so far, which was clearer than the plot of a novel, Xiao Han felt really magical in his heart that things had developed to this point.
She just wanted to make the male protagonist angry a few more times, but Chen Zhan directly sold out his brother.
Chen Zhan’s face was filled with genuine concern for the Lin family, but he was worried that Lin Yun would become angry and alienate him after hearing this. He said cautiously, “Lin Yun, we are still friends, right?”
Xiao Han: “…”
Of course she wasn’t angry, and she naturally accepted the opportunity that came to her.
That night when she returned home, Xiao Han told Father and Mother Lin everything that Chen Zhan had told her.
Parent Lin were initially skeptical, thinking their daughter was joking. But Xiao Han spoke so clearly and in such detail, and with such conviction. When they asked how she knew, Xiao Han had no intention of keeping Chen Zhan a secret, and she sold out her teammates with equal ruthlessness.
Father and Mother Lin also knew the Chen family. The family had a deep foundation. Old man Chen was very prestigious in the central government and had great influence in both the military and political circles. Therefore, Chen Xi was also a famous little bully among the younger generation in that circle.
When they heard that this matter was revealed by Chen Xi’s cousin, they really believed it about 70% to 80%.
“This Chen Xi is really outrageous.” Father Lin said angrily, but he was scolding Chen Xi, not Qin Qiu.
After all, Qin Qiu and Lin Hua have been married for three years, and Father and Mother Lin have an extremely good impression of Qin Qiu. Even if something like this happened, they never doubted her at all. They were more inclined to believe that it was the troublemaker from the Chen family who was relying on his family background to harass their daughter-in-law.
