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

66: Chapter 66 Making a wedding dress for my man’s woman?This realization made Mu Xue gasp, followed by an even more complex and inexpressible feeling of discomfort.

The gift she had painstakingly prepared, the one she had hidden away, not daring to speak of her feelings, had somehow, by a twist of fate, become the witness to another girl’s best birthday and a bond solidifying their relationship?

”Am I... making a wedding dress for someone else?”

Mu Xue threw herself into her quilt, shaking her head and repeatedly telling herself it was impossible.

If I just said that cake was from me, wouldn’t Lin Wan have misunderstood?

Am I not finding a woman for my own man?!

Mu Xue! You really are a!

Mu Xue cursed herself many times in her heart. She was certain that Su Bai wouldn’t lie to her.

In his eyes, she was perhaps just a solution for a money-maintained relationship, far from important enough for him to bother weaving a lie about having a girlfriend to appease her.

Such a lie was unnecessary and useless to him.

Therefore, Lin Wan most likely... isn’t his official girlfriend yet!

At least, their relationship wasn’t clear enough for Su Bai to need to report to her or deliberately conceal it.

This conclusion allowed Mu Xue’s near-collapsing emotions to stabilize slightly, and her brain began to detach from pure sadness, entering a rapidly operating analytical state.

She really wanted to message Su Bai immediately and ask him directly.

But this thought was fiercely suppressed by herself as soon as it arose.

Past lessons were too profound—let alone such sensitive questions involving privacy and emotions, even occasional cautious daily concerns like ”The weather is getting colder, remember to add clothes,” Su Bai’s response was often a simple ”Mm,” or outright ignored. That invisible distance made her dare not cross the line.

When he sought her out, to put it bluntly but realistically, his purpose was very clear.

Her greatest value to him was probably in that aspect... every time he would exhaust her until she was utterly spent.

Other than that, she seemed to have no more leverage to question or demand explanations.

However, an earlier doubt surfaced in her mind: If Lin Wan didn’t know about her relationship with Su Bai back then, why did she appear so coincidentally at the rice noodle shop where she worked a year ago, and even actively added her as a friend?

Women’s intuition in certain matters is often terrifyingly sharp.

Mu Xue recalled Lin Wan’s gaze towards her at the time; it wasn’t entirely curiosity or pure goodwill, but seemed to contain a hint of scrutiny.

Mu Xue’s intuition screamed at her: Lin Wan definitely discovered something back then!

At least, she suspected that her relationship with Su Bai was not a simple sponsorship.

This realization made the situation even more complicated.

Lin Wan might not be Su Bai’s current girlfriend, but she clearly had some intention towards Su Bai, and might have long sensed the unusual atmosphere between herself and Su Bai.

Would her accidental act of giving the cake instead... fuel some misunderstanding or expectation for Lin Wan?

Mu Xue curled up in the quilt, her mind a tangled mess.

This night was destined to be long.

The next day, classroom

Su Bai, uncharacteristically, arrived at school on time.

As soon as he sat down in his seat, Class Teacher Hu walked in, clutching her lesson plan.

”An announcement,” Teacher Hu tapped the podium, ”The new transfer student from yesterday has urgently transferred again due to family reasons. There’s an empty seat now. Students in the fourth row, please move forward one seat to fill the gap. All right, prepare for morning reading.”

”New student?” Su Bai yawned and casually mumbled to Zhou Feng behind him, ”Who was it?”

Zhou Feng was busy pulling out his book and replied without looking up, ”The one who came yesterday when you weren’t here, called... what was his name again? I think his surname was Xiao?”

He scratched his head, clearly not having a deep impression of a transfer student who only appeared for one day.

Little Fatty, on the other side of the aisle, interjected without looking up, his tone tinged with disdain for the other’s memory, ”Xiao Fan. You can’t even remember that.”

”Ah, right! Xiao Fan!” Zhou Feng slapped his forehead, then felt it was pointless. ”I didn’t even get a chance to say a word to him before he transferred again, so it’d be a miracle if I remembered him, right? He’s so elusive.”

Xiao Fan?!

Su Bai’s languid expression instantly froze, and all his sleepiness vanished.

He slowly turned his head to look at Zhou Feng and Little Fatty, confirming, ”Xiao Fan? Are you sure that’s the name? Just transferred yesterday, and leaving today?”

”Absolutely! Didn’t Teacher Hu just say so?”

Zhou Feng looked at Su Bai strangely, thinking his reaction was a bit exaggerated.

Su Bai’s heart skipped a beat, followed by a sense of almost absurd certainty.

Which Xiao Fan could it be?

Surname Xiao, returned from abroad, suddenly transferred into his class, directly targeting Mu Xue, and possibly Lin Wan...

With this setup, who else could it be but the fated Protagonist?!

According to the usual script, this should be the male Protagonist’s dazzling debut, beginning to compete with him, the Villain, for the female protagonist, unfolding a series of arrogant face-slapping and emotional entanglements.

He had even prepared for a passive response, such as being even more thoroughly rotten, or starting to scout for which road had faster trucks...

But, where is the person?!

The Protagonist only showed his face, didn’t even exchange proper lines with him, and just like an unqualified NPC, directly disappeared due to family reasons?

Isn’t this plot development a bit too hasty?

What about the promised fierce struggle?

What about the promised fated duel?

Honestly, ever since he met Xiao Fan in the alley that night and confirmed he was most likely the original male protagonist, Su Bai hadn’t had a peaceful night’s sleep for several days.

It wasn’t fear, but more a sense of annoyance with a predetermined fate.

Although it seemed he transmigrated as a rich second-generation heir, the actual time he truly had control over being a rich second-generation heir was less than two years in total.

He hadn’t enjoyed this life enough; must he be forced into a series of brain-dead face-slapping clichés just because the plot demanded it?

This rich second-generation heir experience card is not something I’m reluctant to give up, but at least let me experience it for two more years.

But if he didn’t follow the plot and stubbornly resisted the Protagonist’s halo and the world’s will... Su Bai recalled various novels he had read, and the Villains who did that usually ended up worse.

He himself had no masochistic tendencies.

After much thought, Su Bai finally settled on a strategy of passive resistance: Whatever happens, happens! If the Protagonist has the guts, let him kill me directly. Before that, I’ll eat what I want, drink what I want, play what I want, enjoy every day I can, and the money I spend is my own!

He had even mentally prepared for various standard Villain endings, like dying from talking too much or being overwhelmingly crushed by the Protagonist, just waiting for Xiao Fan to make his move.

But what was this now?!

The Protagonist showed up, transferred to his class, but before the plot even started, the Protagonist himself exited due to special reasons?

Su Bai had truly never heard of such a move.

This doesn’t conform to any known plot trope!

Did the Protagonist’s halo malfunction?

Or is there some BUG in this world?

Or... is Xiao Fan brewing an even more vicious ultimate move?

”Did you eat breakfast this morning?” a voice whispered into Su Bai’s ear.
