Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

4: Chapter 4 Back to School Season”He didn’t object, but he didn’t agree either!” Lin Guohua lowered his hand, his tone tinged with helplessness.

”Didn’t you hear what Su Zheng said? Everything depends on the children’s wishes. Hmph, I never thought that after making a name for myself for half a lifetime, I’d end up having to cater to the whims of a mere teenager.”

”I’m just worried... about whether our Wanwan can accept this,” Wang Xiu said, her voice filled with anxiety.

Lin Guohua sighed, his tone returning to the cold reality. ”To put it bluntly, if Su Bai isn’t interested in Wanwan and refuses to acknowledge this engagement, then even if our Lin family manages to squeeze into A City, we’ll be like meat on a chopping block—anyone could take a bite out of us. But if this marriage actually happens...”

He paused, a glint flashing in his eyes. ”Then for the next few decades, our Lin family will have a true protective talisman.”

”But Wanwan is only eighteen. Do young people even care about arranged marriages these days? They’re all about ’free love’ now. What if Wanwan doesn’t want to go through with it later?”

As a mother, Wang Xiu ultimately considered her daughter’s feelings more.

”That’s why,” Lin Guohua looked at his wife with a deep gaze, ”you should be praying right now—praying that the Su boy takes a liking to our Wanwan. Otherwise, it’s all for nothing. Still... they’re both young, and there’s plenty of time. Maybe they’ll hit it off as they get to know each other? Our Wanwan isn’t exactly lacking in the looks department, after all.”

Just then, Lin Wan walked out of the bathroom, crystal-clear water droplets still clinging to her cheeks.

She walked over to her parents, her small hands twisting the hem of her shirt. After a moment’s hesitation, she softly asked the question that had been weighing on her mind: ”Dad, Mom... do I really have to marry Su Bai in the future?”

Lin Guohua’s expression stiffened for a moment before he quickly forced a gentle smile. He reached out and ruffled his daughter’s hair. ”Silly child, you’re still young; you don’t need to worry about that. In the future, if you like him, we’ll go through with the marriage; if you don’t, then we won’t. Dad will listen to you.”

”...Okay.” Lin Wan nodded, seemingly reassured by his answer. She turned and went back to her bedroom to rest.

As soon as his daughter left, the smile vanished from Lin Guohua’s face.

Just then, his phone screen lit up with a new message.

He tapped it open. His furrowed brow relaxed slightly, but his gaze remained conflicted.

”Regarding the company... the Su Family has relented, so we’ve survived this crisis for now. But they aren’t fools; they’re just keeping us on life support. If we can’t maintain this connection, we won’t be so lucky next time,” Lin Guohua said.

The Su Family’s bedroom.

In the dead of night, Su Bai lay spread-eagled on his soft, large bed. The faces of the three members of the Lin family seemed to be reflected on the ceiling.

What was the standard ending for a Villain in a male-oriented novel?

He thought aimlessly. It was usually nothing more than obsessively pursuing the female protagonist, failing to win her love, and then, under the Protagonist’s ’Halo of Destiny,’ becoming a stepping stone to be humiliated and crushed, eventually leading to the ruin of one’s family.

If the plot followed his guesses, he should be spending the next few years frantically chasing after Lin Wan.

But there was one thing he couldn’t figure out: shouldn’t a transmigration story involve entering a novel he had actually read?

Yet, from the time he was born until now, neither his own name, Su Bai, nor the Lin Wan he met today, rang even the slightest bell in his memories from his past life.

In other words, this was a book whose plot development he was completely ignorant of.

He was completely in the dark about what the future held.

That system he had blocked definitely contained a full plot summary and mission guides.

But Su Bai couldn’t be bothered to look.

To him, this life was a bonus anyway. Living as a decadent rich second-generation heir kid for two years versus seven years made no fundamental difference.

His life creed was simple and clear: if it can be solved with money, solve it with money;

if money can’t solve it, then solve yourself.

With this kind of ”let it all go to hell” open-mindedness, Su Bai drifted off into a deep sleep.

September, back-to-school season.

A sleek black sedan drove smoothly along the road toward the school.

Su Bai slumped in the passenger seat, staring bleary-eyed at the street scenery rushing past. He let out a yawn. ”Uncle Fu, how much longer?”

”Young Master, we’re almost there,” the middle-aged driver responded gently before asking for instructions. ”Should we stop right at the main gate, or drive onto the campus?”

Those words reminded Su Bai of a mocking remark he’d heard in his past life: ”Do you think the school is your home?”

Coincidentally, he sneered inwardly, calling this school his home wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

”If there’s traffic, just find any spot to park. I don’t mind walking a bit; it’s no trouble,” Su Bai instructed lazily.

”Understood, Young Master,” Uncle Fu replied.

Fortunately, the road in front of the school was wide enough. Although there was a long queue of cars dropping off students, it wasn’t a total gridlock.

Just as the car pulled into a parking spot, Su Bai heard someone call his name from behind.

Turning around, he saw it was Lin Guohua and his daughter, Lin Wan.

”Su Bai! What a coincidence! Perfect, why don’t you and Wanwan head in together? You can look out for each other,” Lin Guohua said with a beaming smile and a warm tone.

”Coincidence?”

”Was it really?”

His intention of practically pushing his daughter onto him was a bit too obvious.

Su Bai saw through it clearly, but he maintained basic politeness on the surface and nodded. ”Hello, Uncle Lin.”

Lin Wan stood quietly beside her father, wearing a pale white dress. She looked as fresh as a gardenia covered in morning dew.

She looked up slightly and greeted him in a small voice, ”Brother Su.”

Su Bai simply nodded in response and turned toward the school gate.

Lin Wan followed silently behind him. They walked one after the other, maintaining a subtle distance of three or four paces.

However, before they had gone far, Su Bai’s footsteps came to a halt.

His gaze was firmly drawn to a campus shop by the roadside.

It was one thing for a school to have a convenience store, but why were the tobacco and alcohol counters so neatly stocked?

Was that even allowed?

On second thought, he relaxed—it was a novel world, after all. Anything was possible; that was just the setting.

Sure enough, as soon as the female protagonist, Lin Wan, appeared, the logic of this world began to spiral in a somewhat maddening direction.

He used to think this world was quite normal.

”Go on to class first. I’m going to wander around for a bit.”

Leaving it at that, Su Bai didn’t even wait for Lin Wan’s response before strolling off toward another part of the campus.

Lin Wan’s footsteps came to a sudden halt. A flicker of confusion crossed her delicate, somewhat aloof face.

She stared at Su Bai’s back as he disappeared into the crowd, bit her lip, and then somewhat reluctantly headed toward the teaching building alone.
