At the Beginning, the Villain Catches the Campus Belle Slashing Tires on a Rainy Night - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: A Catastrophic Start, the Campus Belle’s First Kiss as a Memorial.

Shen Juan died of exhaustion on his female boss’s bed.

When he opened his eyes again, a panicked girl stood before him, staring at him with guarded suspicion. Rain hammered down overhead, and in the dimly lit bike shed, only the two of them remained. The atmosphere felt strange, tense, and strangely thrilling.

“Shen Juan, it’s so late… why haven’t you left yet?”

The girl was stunned. Shen Juan was just as confused. He had poured all his energy into his female boss, then fallen asleep without knowing anything after that. Where the hell had he ended up?

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for activating the God-Level Choice System! You are now in the world of a novel. Your identity is the most miserable cannon-fodder supporting male character in the novel! Also the fake young master who was mistakenly raised by the Shen family for eighteen years!]

[One month ago, the Shen family’s real young master returned and reclaimed his place. You were cast out. Unable to accept the psychological blow, you fell into decadence and negativity, unwilling to return to your real home. You defied teachers at school and wandered aimlessly after classes. At this rate, within a month, you will be expelled and become a useless drifter in society.]

[No money, no education, no job, only a handsome face. In the end, you will be ruthlessly trampled by the real young master and die in depression!]

Shen Juan’s lips twitched.

What kind of disastrous opening was this?

[Host, this system exists to help you turn the tables and rise against adversity, changing your life toward brilliance!]

[The girl before you is the campus belle Wen Li. Because she resents the counselor for publicly embarrassing her, she deliberately stayed behind until the very end to secretly puncture the counselor’s car tire. However, she didn’t expect you to be even later than her. She is currently on high alert, so please respond carefully.]

[Information about Wen Li is as follows.]

A system panel appeared before Shen Juan, displaying Wen Li’s details.

[Name: Wen Li.]
[Gender: Female.]
[Age: 18.]
[Height/Weight: 166 cm / 48 kg.]
[Measurements: 89/58/90.]
[Traits: Appears gentle and obedient on the surface, but is actually rebellious and calculating.]

Shen Juan narrowed his eyes and looked her over.

She was tall, with long, slender legs that were straight and elegant. She wore a white T-shirt, soaked through from the rain, the thin fabric clinging tightly to her skin. He could clearly see the curves of her waist and the delicate outline of her figure.

Her waist wasn’t the dry, bony kind. It was slim, soft, with just a hint of gentle fullness.

In his previous life, Shen Juan had seen plenty of women, yet even he couldn’t help but admire her as a masterpiece of creation.

However, the way this campus belle looked at him right now was anything but friendly.

She clutched her phone tightly. Every time Shen Juan stepped forward, she took a step back.

“You… what are you trying to do? This is the school, there are cameras everywhere. Don’t come any closer.”

Her panicked appearance resembled a frightened deer. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with moisture, as if she might cry at any moment.

She retreated until there was nowhere left to go. As Shen Juan pressed closer, her foot hit a parked vehicle, and she lost balance, falling backward.

“Ah!”

She let out a startled cry.

Shen Juan reacted quickly. He stepped forward, grabbed her arm with one hand, and wrapped the other around her waist, pulling her back upright.

Wen Li stared at his face, now only inches away. A faint blush spread across her delicate cheeks.

In her eighteen years of life, this was the first time she had been this close to a man.

“Thank you…”

She raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate, refined face.

[Ding! The Host has encountered the campus belle puncturing the counselor’s tire. System choices activated!]

[1: Let her leave and pretend nothing happened. Reward: Wen Li Favorability +1.]
[2: Take Wen Li to the counselor and expose her actions. Reward: Counselor Favorability +5, Wen Li Anger +5. (Every 10 points can be exchanged for a beginner reward in the system shop.)]
[3: Keep the evidence and repeatedly pressure her. Reward: Significant value contributions from Wen Li. The higher the value, the better the rewards you can exchange.]

[Note: Wen Li’s values include but are not limited to anger, grievance, fear, anxiety, surprise, shyness… These depend on your actions toward her.]

[Additionally, Host, Wen Li is one of the female leads in the original novel. After you were driven out of the Shen family, she frequently humiliated and tormented you. She is also one of the people who abused you in the original plot.]

Hearing this, Shen Juan roughly understood the kind of plotline this novel followed.

Even though he hadn’t read it, he had seen plenty like it.

This was definitely one of those urban wish-fulfillment stories. The protagonist would dominate everything, show off endlessly, and collect women along the way.

And he… was probably one of the most miserable cannon-fodder characters.

Brainless, always looking for trouble, and inevitably slapped in the face by the protagonist every single time. In the end, he would spiral into a tragic fate and quietly disappear from the story.

“Shen Juan, it’s getting late. I’ll be leaving first.”

Having been caught red-handed, Wen Li only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

She turned to leave, but Shen Juan suddenly reached out and, with swift precision, grabbed the strap at the back of her bra.

Time seemed to freeze in that instant.

Wen Li froze. Her entire face flushed rapidly, heat rising through her body.

Shen Juan felt awkward too and quickly let go.

A soft, crisp “snap” sounded as the strap hit back against her skin.

She turned around, staring at him in disbelief. Her flushed cheeks carried a mix of pink softness and shy embarrassment, like a ripe peach, tempting enough to make Shen Juan want a bite.

“You shameless pervert, you…”

Wen Li was both furious and humiliated, on the verge of tears. She clenched her small fists and was about to hit him.

But Shen Juan suddenly pulled her into his arms, covering her mouth with his hand as he dragged her down into a crouch behind a row of electric scooters.

The space was tight. To fit, the two of them had to press closely together.

At this moment, Wen Li was practically being held in his embrace.

Her face burned even hotter, like a pear about to ripen completely.

Not understanding what was happening, she felt both embarrassed and enraged. She opened her mouth and bit down on Shen Juan’s hand.

He winced in pain and loosened his grip. Seeing that she was about to shout, he reacted instantly.

One hand cupped the back of her head and pulled her closer. His lips found hers without hesitation, pressing down firmly.

The girl in his arms seemed stunned by the kiss. She instantly went silent.

“Huh? I thought I heard something here just now. Why is no one around?”

“It’s raining so heavily. The students must’ve all gone home. Probably just your imagination.”

“Yeah, maybe it was a cat. There are quite a few stray cats on campus. Let’s head back, the rain is getting heavier.”

The voices belonged to a woman in her forties, likely a senior professor. Hearing the noise, she had come with her husband to check.

Gradually, their footsteps faded into the distance.

Shen Juan could clearly feel the girl in his arms go from tense and rigid to slowly softening.

He felt a little reluctant to let go.

But if he didn’t, he might end up reported to the police.

So he released her.

A trace of loss flickered in Wen Li’s eyes, but she quickly realized that Shen Juan had kissed her only to stop her from making noise, otherwise they would have been discovered.

Her eyes reddened as she looked at him.

“That was my first kiss… sob…”

“How could you do that without my permission…”

Shen Juan smiled lightly. “No choice. You were too loud. That was the fastest way to make you quiet.”

“Sob… then why did you use your tongue…”
