The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Bawangye Mountain is famous for the legend of eight ancient generals who fought against foreign enemies and were posthumously granted the title of kings and marquises. Their bodies were buried here. Located on the outskirts of Haicheng, it boasts beautiful scenery. The straight-line distance from the bottom to the top of the mountain is about 7 kilometers. It takes about 3 hours for an average person to climb the mountain, and a round trip takes about 5 hours. It is a mountain around Haicheng that is very suitable for ordinary people to climb.

Especially on weekends, there are many more people coming to hike and exercise than usual.

Looking around at the mountain path of Bawangye Mountain, which was crowded with people everywhere, Su Shiyu didn't know whether to say she was unlucky or lucky.

I said I was unlucky because there were three other people hiking with me today. But I also said I was lucky because there were three other people, which is why I didn't have to wear the yoga clothes and pants that my strategist Liu recommended on the bus.

Her figure is only for A-Yuan to see; if anyone else saw it, she'd be at a huge disadvantage...

Even so, Su Shiyu could keenly sense that the eyes of the people around her were unconsciously drawn to the three of them.

Next time, next time I'll find a less crowded mountain, or just pay to rent the whole mountain, that way even if A Yuan and I are doing *that* on the mountain, no one will bother us!

Ye Linyuan was completely unaware of Su Shiyu's extravagant and wealthy thoughts. After stretching his limbs slightly, Ye Linyuan smiled and spoke to Su Shiyu.

"Sister Shiyu, Wangshu, simply climbing a mountain isn't very interesting. How about we have a competition to see who gets to the top first? To be fair, I'll start half an hour later than you."

An Wangshu nodded, having no objections. After all, her original goal was to ruin her brother's date with the woman who coveted him; she didn't care about anything else.

"Everyone listens to their older brother."

Su Shiyu thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up instantly.

"Sure, but just having a competition isn't very interesting. How about we make a bet?"

"A prize? That's fine. So, Sister Shiyu, what kind of prize do you want?"

"It's simple. Whoever comes in last place gives a gift to the second-place winner, and the second-place winner gives a gift to the first-place winner. How about that?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Linyuan felt that he couldn't possibly lose, so he nodded.

"I have no objection, Wang Shu, what about you?"

An Wangshu hesitated. She didn't want her brother to receive gifts from other people. After all, according to Qingyu, giving gifts could easily increase the other person's favorability.

She had just agreed to participate in the competition, and it would be impolite to refuse now, as it might give her brother the impression that she was being spoiled and arrogant.

An Wangshu, as expected of the protagonist of the original storyline, was quick-witted and soon came up with a solution.

Her eyes were wet, and she looked at Ye Linyuan like a fawn, speaking pitifully.

"Brother, I've always been a bit weak. I can climb mountains with you normally, but I definitely can't beat you and Sister Shiyu in a race. How about you compete with Sister Shiyu instead?"

Su Shiyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and an ominous premonition instantly filled her heart.

There's a strong chance that An Wangshu's sudden remark is a trap ahead...

As it turns out, women's intuition is very sharp. Upon hearing An Wangshu say this, Ye Linyuan grabbed An Wangshu's wrist, felt her pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although my pulse wasn't very strong, there wasn't anything seriously wrong. I was just a little weak, just like yesterday. As long as I take good care of myself, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, just in case, Ye Linyuan still spoke up.

"Okay then, Sister Shiyu, I'll compete with you, but Wangshu can come with me. I'll take care of her. But that way I won't be half an hour late, otherwise I'll definitely lose."

"I studied traditional Chinese medicine for a while, so if Wangshu really feels unwell, I can protect her in time."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, the little Su Shiyu in Su Shiyu's mind almost exploded.

What the hell? She clearly suggested asking for a prize because she wanted to get to know A Yuan better, but now it looks like she's helping An Wangshu and A Yuan get closer.

She struggled to climb uphill ahead, while A Yuan and An Wangshu whispered sweet nothings behind her...

Damn it, this is totally not the plot she wanted!

If An Wangshu were to reveal her figure and gentleness to A Yuan, causing A Yuan to develop a strong liking for her, wouldn't she become Batman's enemy—the Joker?

No, absolutely not!

"Since Sister Wangshu is not feeling well, let's forget about the competition and just stay with her for the journey."

Su Shiyu felt that even if she had to give up this opportunity, she absolutely could not let An Wangshu and A Yuan get together!

An Wangshu didn't want this unexpected joy to disappear so quickly, so she spoke up.

"Sister Shiyu, don't worry, my body isn't that weak yet. You and your brother can continue your match. With your brother taking care of me, there won't be any problems."

In fact, she herself did not expect that pretending to be weak would get her brother's care and allow her to climb mountains with him.

Su Shiyu wanted to say something, but saw Ye Linyuan nod with a smile.

"Sister Shiyu, don't worry, with me here, Wangshu will be fine."

He also wanted to ask An Wangshu if she knew any of the female characters from the original book. If she did, he could try to recruit them.

With his advantage of foresight, it wouldn't be difficult to recruit a few female leads. If he could bring them all under his control, that would be incredibly satisfying.

After all, every female lead in a storyline is incredibly beautiful, has an amazing figure, and is incredibly capable!

Even if they can't be of help, it's still nice to look at them!

However, on the other hand, I haven't met any of the main female characters from the original story yet. It seems I need to find some time to get to know them.

"But?"

While Su Shiyu was still hesitating, Ye Linyuan immediately placed a heavy bet.

"Okay, if you win, Shiyu, I'll grant you one request. It's something as long as it doesn't hurt anyone I care about, and as long as it's not illegal or criminal."

One thing?

As long as it doesn't harm anyone A Yuan cares about, and as long as it doesn't involve breaking the law or committing a crime, A Yuan will agree to it!

In an instant, the scales in Su Shiyu's heart tipped sharply in favor of the competition.

This is something that A Yuan would agree to as long as it doesn't hurt anyone he cares about, and as long as it doesn't involve breaking the law or committing a crime. If I propose to A Yuan after my divorce, would he not refuse?

After all, proposing, getting married, and all that stuff won't hurt the people Ah Yuan cares about, and it's not illegal or criminal!

Even if the chances of A Yuan agreeing are extremely slim, it's still worth a try.

Thinking of this, Su Shiyu nodded vigorously.

"Alright, then I'll listen to A-Yuan. A-Yuan, you absolutely mustn't let me win, I'm going to win this bet on my own merits!"

Watching Su Shiyu's suddenly energetic back, Ye Linyuan scratched his head, looked at An Wangshu, and asked in a low voice.

"Wang Shu, did I say something that provoked Sister Shi Yu? How come she suddenly became so energetic? She was so listless just a second ago."

Hearing her brother's question, An Wangshu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Is there even a need to ask this question? It's obvious that Sister Shiyu is preparing to propose the most extreme things within Brother's framework.

For example, wanting her brother to be with her!

This is terrible! I only wanted to ruin their date, but it turned out like this!

No, I absolutely cannot let my brother lose!

"It's probably because Sister Shiyu wanted to win too much, but I believe Brother won't lose, right, Brother?"

Ye Linyuan smiled and subconsciously pinched An Wangshu's little cheek.

"Of course! Who am I? I'm your brother, how could I possibly lose! We'll catch up with her and leave Shiyu behind, okay?"

Hearing Ye Linyuan's doting voice, An Wangshu was like a kitten, her eyes narrowed into slits, and a lazy voice came from her throat.

"Okay~"

Before she could finish saying "good," her eyes widened instantly, staring intently at the family of three not far away. Her empty gaze revealed an unspeakable fear and hatred that was heartbreaking!
