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

That night, Ye Linyuan slept soundly, not only because the door was locked and no one would disturb him, but also because he had received the hope that Sister Qingyue might still be alive.

Of course, no one except Su Shiyu knew the real reason why he slept so soundly last night.

After all, he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow last night, and he had no idea what happened between falling asleep and waking up.

Ye Linyuan got up very early today, intending to have someone thoroughly investigate what happened four years ago.

If Qingyue really faked her death four years ago, then he must find her and ask her why. But if Qingyue really died four years ago, then he wouldn't have any reason not to accept it; he would just feel regret.

After all, she was my first love!

Just as he was thinking this, Ye Linyuan came downstairs and saw Zhao Jinyan making breakfast. At the same time, Zhao Jinyan also saw him.

Their eyes met, and both of them stopped what they were doing at the same time. The air froze instantly, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

After a while, Ye Linyuan finally realized, "Damn it, I didn't do anything last night, why am I feeling guilty?"

Feeling instantly more confident, Ye Linyuan smiled and greeted Zhao Jinyan.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhao."

Seeing Ye Linyuan acting as if nothing had happened, Zhao Jinyan really wanted to throw the kitchen knife in her hand at Ye Linyuan.

That bastard! He seduced someone else's wife, yet he can greet her husband like nothing happened.

How can someone be so shameless? Unbelievable!

But one can't hit a smiling face, so Zhao Jinyan suppressed her anger, forced a smile at Ye Linyuan, and then abruptly turned her head to continue what she was doing.

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would start cursing at Ye Linyuan.

No matter what, Ye Linyuan is a guest of this villa. It's unreasonable for the host to scold a guest, both morally and legally.

Forget it, they've already promised to take care of Ye Linyuan as soon as possible. Just bear with it, it'll pass.

It's just a green hat. If it's for Shiyu, I'll wear it!

Seeing Zhao Jinyan's anger, which was merely a momentary outburst, Ye Linyuan's contempt for him intensified.

This guy is really a cuckold. Logically speaking, he should consider himself a third party, but even though the third party has moved into his house, he hasn't made a move.

Yesterday, he might have been too embarrassed to approach Shiyu because she was nearby, but now Shiyu is still lying in the room, and he hasn't reacted at all.

For a man to act like this is truly appalling. Perhaps only the legendary cuckolded king Fang Yi'ai could be even more cuckolded than him.

Oh right, speaking of which, I don't think I've cast a detection spell on Zhao Jinyan, that turtle-like male lead, yet.

Without hesitation, Ye Linyuan cast a detection spell on Zhao Jinyan.

Name: Zhao Jinyan

Age: 25

[Favorability: -100]

[Tags: A cuckolded male protagonist who enjoys torturing his husband for a while but faces a tragic backlash later; cowardly, reputation-conscious, and a top-tier love-obsessed simp]

[Note: Don't be careless! Although the male lead is a turtle, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a green-haired turtle male lead who's even faster than a rabbit!]

[Special Reminder: As the male protagonist of the storyline you are currently most deeply involved with, if you can completely destroy his/her protagonist status, you will take his place and become the male protagonist of this storyline. In this way, you will unlock all the content of this storyline, and everything you do in this storyline will go smoothly!]

Looking at the system's notes, Ye Linyuan almost burst out laughing.

To use the tortoise from the tortoise and the hare fable to describe Zhao Jinyan, the tortoise-like male protagonist, is truly something else with his system.

Isn't this just a sarcastic jab at him for being both fast and green?

However, on the other hand, the system is right. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If I push Zhao Jinyan, this turtle-like male lead, too hard, will he become desperate and do something rash?

To reiterate, although I have great disdain for Zhao Jinyan, what can I do when he is the male lead in this storyline?

The male lead has a protagonist's halo, so if possible, he doesn't plan to deal with Zhao Jinyan if Zhao Jinyan doesn't provoke him.

However, when the system's special reminder appeared, Ye Linyuan instantly felt that he was just a male protagonist, and he should still provoke him. He was a man with a system!

He was well aware of the advantages of knowing the entire plot. Any plot involves not just a few people, but many characters. If you could know the plot, wouldn't that put you in an invincible position?

Just like in his original storyline of the real and fake young master, if he hadn't known what would happen in the future, he wouldn't have had such a big advantage!

Not to mention he could even become the male lead! He's always been the villainous second male lead, never having enjoyed the protagonist's halo. This is a rare opportunity!

I'm sorry, Zhao Jinyan. Actually, I still really wanted to let you off the hook. Originally, as long as you left Sister Shiyu, I could forgive and forget. But now it's not possible. Now even the system wants me to target you.

As for destroying Zhao Jinyan's position as the male lead, Ye Linyuan felt it shouldn't be difficult. As the saying goes, "to kill someone is to destroy their spirit," so all that's needed is to completely obliterate the other person, from body to soul!

However, he still needs to stay alive. No matter what, Zhao Jinyan is the male lead. What if he dies and then gets reborn or possessed? Wouldn't that be troublesome?

So the best approach is to completely break him down, but not to the point of death.

At worst, we can just keep him like a dog and raise him until he dies. Anyway, neither the Ye family nor the Su family is short of food.

However, on the other hand, since I was able to disrupt Zhao Jinyan's status as the male lead, why didn't the system give me any special warnings when I was investigating Pei Sijing?

Could it be because I haven't been involved enough in Pei Sijing's storyline, or is Pei Sijing's storyline rather unique?

After thinking for a moment and confirming that there were no results, Ye Linyuan decided to first deal with Zhao Jinyan in front of him.

"Mr. Zhao, are you cooking?"

Entering the kitchen, Ye Linyuan casually glanced at the breakfast Zhao Jinyan had made and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As expected of the turtle male lead in a heart-wrenching novel about chasing after a husband, he really put a lot of effort into making this breakfast, with seven or eight common breakfast items.

"Ye Linyuan, you're not welcome in the kitchen."

Zhao Jinyan glared at Ye Linyuan and spoke coldly.

"The kitchen doesn't welcome me, Mr. Zhao, why don't you call out to the kitchen and see if it answers?"

Zhao Jinyan: ......

Is this bastard here to provoke us?

The next moment, Zhao Jinyan instantly changed the question in her mind into a statement of affirmation.

"Mr. Zhao, I advise you not to waste your energy. Sister Shiyu will not eat what you make."

Ye Linyuan, that bastard, is just here to provoke us!

Zhao Jinyan stared intently at Ye Linyuan, her eyes blazing with fury, and couldn't help but ask angrily.

"Ye Linyuan, what do you mean?"

Ye Linyuan spread his hands and said with a smile.

"It doesn't mean anything. I'm just telling you not to waste your energy, because I'm going out to eat with Sister Shiyu later. We're going out to play all day today."

Click, click, splash~

Seeing Zhao Jinyan clutching his heart, his face deathly pale, Ye Linyuan could almost hear the sound of his heart shattering into pieces.

"Hey, Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this?"

"It doesn't mean anything. Didn't I say we're going out to play all day? Because we're short on time, we're going to have breakfast out."

"you!"

"Of course, if you make a few more, we can pack them up and eat them on the go."

Asshole!

Zhao Jinyan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

They actually want to go out and play all day?

Who knows where they're going? Maybe a hotel or one of Shiyu's other villas!

Also, what does it mean to make several portions so they can pack them up and eat them on the go?

Putting aside the fact that he made so many portions, enough for three people, even two more would be enough. Just the thought of Ye Linyuan enjoying the breakfast he made made him feel like he was being force-fed a ton of shit, it was disgusting.

"You're dreaming. This breakfast is for myself, not for you."

After silently apologizing to Su Shiyu, Zhao Jinyan decisively turned off the stove, picked up the breakfast he had prepared, and headed towards his room.

I'm sorry, Shiyu, you'll have to bear with it today. I wouldn't give anything I made to that bastard Ye Linyuan, even if it meant a dog would eat it.

Hmm, wait a minute, something doesn't sound right here...
