What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

"So, let's talk about why you came to my house in the first place..."

Inside the old residential building, noisy footsteps echoed down the five-story concrete staircase, then creaked and stopped.

Ye Wensheng listlessly took two pairs of spare bunny slippers from the shoe rack: "Just wear these when you come in. By the way, would you like something to drink?"

Although Ye Wen wanted to refuse the arrival of the Riju sisters at his home, Shen Caichun used her immense power in every sense to tell Ye Wen that he couldn't refuse.

Since they're already here, they're guests, and no matter how unwilling they are, they can't be impolite.

Ye Wen didn't want to one day be told that he would say this:

[Tsk, as expected of a child without parents, poor upbringing]

To be honest, Ye Wen wouldn't do anything if he heard such words. He really wouldn't do anything. At most, he would just carry a sack containing a mysterious object to the riverbank in the middle of the night to do some manual labor.

Fortunately, no one has ever said that about him since he was a child.

"Uh, thanks, just some plain water will do, but..."

Shen Caichun took the slippers and handed them to Shen Xuqiu beside him, but his gaze remained fixed on the three "deities" placed above the living room, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me what...that thing you're worshipping up there is?"

"Oh, you asked about that?" Ye Wen said calmly, raising his hand to introduce it to them:

"This is the Great Compassionate and Merciful Ultraman Tiga," Ye Wen said, pointing to the giant, golden, robe-clad Ultraman Tiga on the far left. "With Him, you can defeat any dark monster."

"This is Guanyin Bodhisattva in the future." Ye Wen pointed to the girl in the middle who was cosplaying as the Bodhisattva by holding a green onion: "With her, you can steal other people's rice like crazy."

"And what about the one on the far right?" Shen Xuqiu asked weakly, pointing to the octopus-like creature next to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "That thing doesn't look like a righteous person at all!"

"Don't make a fuss."

Ye Wen nodded: "This is a Nanyang Bodhisattva that I obtained from a friend. Nanyang is quite far away, so the aesthetic is naturally a bit different."

"This..." Shen Caichun chuckled, "Little brother, you're quite superstitious, aren't you?"

Moreover, the ways in which they practice superstition are so unique.

"It's alright. After all, when humans encounter problems they can't solve themselves, believing in God is a good option."

"At least it provides a false sense of security."

When Ye Wen first realized the female protagonist's existence but before she had awakened her cheat ability, he was truly at a loss and thought he should be a little superstitious and pray to some things.

Thinking that ordinary things might not be able to subdue those demons, he replaced them with three highly influential gods and Buddhas.

Although it ultimately proved useless, the custom of making offerings was preserved.

So, in front of the two Shen sisters, Ye Wen placed a lit flashlight in front of Ultraman Tiga, put a green scallion in Hatsune Miku's hand, and finally poured a cup of water on Cthulhu's head.

Today's offerings are complete.

Shen Xuqiu and Shen Caichun, who were watching Ye Wen's offering, exchanged a glance. The two, who were always bickering, were surprisingly in agreement at this moment.

This guy named Ye Wen might be mentally ill.

And it was a serious illness.

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

Forcing his gaze away from the three powerful figures, Shen Caichun's expression turned serious: "You should already know something about the situation of our Riju, right?"

I know that all too well; I've been watching the second season of Yozakura's Great Battle recently.

Silently muttering to himself, Ye Wen poured a glass of water for Shen Xuqiu and Shen Caichun respectively: "Enough with the useless nonsense, let's get straight to the point."

Ye Wen looked into Shen Caichun's dark eyes and said bluntly, "You want me to protect your sister Shen Xuqiu at school, right?"

"Huh?"

Shen Xuqiu let out a bewildered sound.

Shen Caichun's expression changed, and he chuckled lightly, "Heh, how did you know?"

"Do you have some kind of superpower like mind reading?"

"I wish I had that kind of convenient ability."

Ye Wen gave a self-deprecating smile and took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "You specifically confirmed beforehand whether I was a high school student at Tianyu, plus your sister took off her pants and acted like a lewd... cough cough, while treating her wound, she muttered to herself about transferring schools."

"Combining the two things, it's not surprising to arrive at this conclusion."

Okay, actually, that's how the story of the Yozakura family's great operation goes, but some unimportant steps have been omitted.

Shen Caichun smiled even more broadly: "Not bad, not bad. You're a good shot, quick-witted, and handsome too."

"Little brother, how about considering marrying into our Shen family?" She winked at Ye Wen, cupping Shen Xuqiu's face in her hand to show him off: "My Xiaoqiu is quite a catch. Although her chest is a bit small, the rest of her body is absolutely stunning. Really, why not give it a try?"

"Sister!" Shen Xuqiu was both embarrassed and angry: "What are you talking about? Who has small breasts? I, I can still develop..."

"And what's this about marrying into the family? I don't agree to that! That guy's a pervert!"

After saying that, Shen Xuqiu looked at Ye Wen resentfully and muttered under her breath, "You pervert who peeked at me taking off my pants..."

"Thank you, you too."

Ye Wen smiled kindly: "A female pervert who displays her panties in the street."

"I'll probably never forget your blue and white bowl in my entire life."

"Who, who's in the street?!" Shen Xuqiu immediately exploded, "I changed inside, okay? And I made sure no one was there before I changed... Yes, it's all your fault for being such a pervert with such a low profile! It's all your fault!"

Ye Wen stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Not only is there something wrong with his head, but his eyesight is also off? This is going to be difficult."

"Who are you calling mentally unstable! Besides, my eyesight is perfect, 20/20!"

"Whoever takes off their pants, I'll name them."

"you!"

"Alright, alright." Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Shen Caichun stepped in to mediate: "Stop arguing, I'm also a pervert who likes to spy on my sister."

"Since we're all perverts, why should perverts make things difficult for each other? Let's talk this out calmly."

"No, no, no." Ye Wen shook his hand, looking regretful, and said, "I'm not that perverted."

"Exactly, exactly." Shen Xuqiu united as one: "Please don't lump me in with you, sister. It's very hurtful."

Shen Caichun: "..."

Veins bulged on her forehead: "Fine, so you all look down on your older sister, huh? You don't want to play with her, right?"

"My sister is very sad, she's going to get angry. Don't let my appearance fool you, I can be very scary when I'm angry."

"Sister, don't be angry. Let's talk things out calmly."

Shen Xuqiu patted his sister's hand as if to appease her, then turned to look at Ye Wen: "Hmph, I know you definitely don't want to be at school..."

"I do."

"So I decided to give it to... eh?"

Shen Xuqiu looked up blankly: "What did you just say?"

I said, "I do."

Ye Wen sighed, "Not only are your head and eyes bad, but now even your ears are having problems? This is going to be difficult."

"My ears, eyes, and brain are all fine!" Shen Xuqiu shouted angrily, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws. "Didn't you say I was a pervert? Why are you still willing to protect my safety at school?"

Ye Wen said matter-of-factly, "It's precisely because you're a pervert that I have to keep an eye on you and prevent you from harming other people."

This is the truth.

Ye Wen knew that in order to end the female lead's storyline, he had to get involved in it.

If you want to interfere in other people's lives, you should be prepared for your own life to be interfered with as well.

Therefore, Ye Wen didn't care what kind of trouble agreeing to the Shen family's request would bring to his life.

After all, a very, very long time ago.

He was already prepared for the female lead to ruin his life.
