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

Being scrutinized by everyone with all sorts of ambiguous gazes, especially Ye Linyuan's compassionate look, Yan Fan's anger soared to the heavens at this moment.

But right now, the most important thing is that I absolutely cannot confirm that I have fallen in love with Yan Ruyu, whom I cannot love!

That damned bastard Tantai Lin actually dared to reveal the biggest secret of his life to the public!

"You're talking nonsense!"

Thinking of this, Yan Fan roared, a roar of suppressed rage bursting from his throat. His face was contorted, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at Tantai Lin, looking as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Tantai Lin was a ruthless man. Looking at Yan Fan, who looked like he wanted to kill him, he completely let go of the last bit of resentment in his heart, and his tone was completely devoid of any politeness.

"I'm talking nonsense? Heh heh heh, Yan Fan, you keep Yan Ruyu's photo close to your body, do you dare say you haven't had feelings for her?"

Seeing Yan Fan's increasingly grim expression, Tantai Lin's smug voice rang out again.

"If you're so capable, swear that you have absolutely no feelings for her. If you do, you'll never be able to see her again in your entire life!"

Will I never see Ruyu in this lifetime?

Yan Fan's face stiffened, and he opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

If he could never see Ruyu in this lifetime, what would be the point of his life?!

Honestly, if Yan Fan dared to swear an oath at this moment, he might be able to salvage some of his reputation. After all, Tantai Lin was just making empty promises without providing any evidence. Whether what he said about Yan Fan keeping photos of Yan Ruyu close to his body was true or false could not be proven until someone searched Yan Fan's body.

There were no police officers present, and searching him would be illegal for anyone else. So if he insisted on his claim, at most it would just cause some rumors, and there probably wouldn't be many people who actually believed that Yan Fan liked Yan Ruyu. Most likely, it would just be those fujoshi and otaku with distorted views on love, and the rest would just watch the show.

After a while, this matter will be over.

Even if he didn't actually have a photo of his supposed younger sister Yan Ruyu on him, the Yan family wouldn't punish him. At most, they would just consider it as him being targeted because he had been too popular in recent years.

But the problem was that he hesitated!

His hesitation essentially confirmed that he had indeed developed feelings for Yan Ruyu that he shouldn't have!

At this moment, those who were originally just watching the show had changed their minds and were now looking at Yan Fan with disdain.

"What scum! Bah!"

"He's not even as good as scum; at least scum wouldn't get lustful towards his own sister!"

"Let's go! Call the police! We absolutely must call the police! We can't let Yan Ruyu fall into his clutches!"

"Yes, yes, we need to notify Yan Fan's parents immediately and let them know what kind of monster they gave birth to! Does anyone have Yan Fan's parents' contact information? Send it to me!"

"I've already recorded it all and uploaded it online. I've also submitted it to Douyin (TikTok). Yan Fan's parents will see it soon!"

"Bro, forward this video to me, I want to post it too!"

Count me in.

"Count me in!"

"..."

Listening to the shouts of the Haicheng University students around him, who were clearly trying to escalate the situation, Yan Fan's face grew paler and paler, almost devoid of any color.

"No, I didn't! You're framing me!"

"Tantai Lin! You framed me! I'll fight you to the death!"

Yan Fan clenched his fists tightly and lunged at Tantai Lin with a desperate stance.

The next moment, Ye Linyuan stood between Tantai Lin and Yan Fan, reached out and grabbed Yan Fan's hands, a smile in his eyes.

"Young Master Yan, let's talk this out. Fighting won't solve anything."

"If you feel wronged, then produce evidence to prove that what Tantai Lin said is false."

evidence?

Yan Fan was almost laughing in anger. Normally, shouldn't the one who suspects someone be the one to provide evidence? But now, the one being suspected is actually having to prove his innocence himself?!

"You surnamed Ye, how am I supposed to prove myself?! Are you suggesting I be searched to see if I have any of Tantai Lin's so-called photos?"

Ye Linyuan nodded.

"That would be for the best, wouldn't it? Young Master Yan, do you dare?"

Do you dare? Of course I wouldn't dare!

Yan Fan dared not agree, because he really did have a photo of himself and Yan Ruyu on him!

He had no idea how Tantai Lin knew about the photo. Normally, if that photo were shown, it would only mean that the two had a good relationship and that he, as the older brother, loved his younger sister more. But if it were shown now, it would probably really confirm that he had bad intentions towards Yan Ruyu!

When this photo was taken, I hadn't been recognized by the Yan family yet. I was being abused at my adoptive parents' house. Yan Ruyu came to my rescue, so I genuinely had feelings for her back then.

So when taking the photos, he didn't hide his affection for Yan Ruyu, and his gaze towards her was indeed full of tenderness.

But fate played a cruel trick on him, and the girl he liked turned out to be his own younger sister!

If he had a choice, he would rather have never returned to the Yan family!

Seeing the obvious resistance on Yan Fan's face, Ye Linyuan knew perfectly well that the photo actually existed and was on Yan Fan's body!

Ye Linyuan originally intended to help Yan Fan, since he had not yet recovered his memories of his past life. If he were to crush him to death at this time, the chances of gaining the protagonist's luck from him would probably not be very high.

Now, there's no hope. Just wait to die.

Tantai Lin, who was originally standing behind Ye Linyuan, had a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Yan Fan, you think you can hide the photo just because you don't admit it? Others may not know, but I do! The photo is inside the ornament around your neck!"

As Tantai Lin's voice fell, Bai Yu, who had long been very annoyed with Yan Fan, stepped forward and, taking advantage of his height and strength, easily tore off the ornament around Yan Fan's neck.

"Bai Yu, give it back to me!"

Yan Fan was shocked and tried to resist, but he was not a male protagonist known for his martial arts skills. Facing Bai Yu, he was no different from a scholar who was powerless. No matter how he resisted, he could not snatch the ornament back from Bai Yu.

"Why are you so nervous? We've known each other for a while now. I just want to prove to you that you're not a beast who covets someone you absolutely shouldn't covet."

As Bai Yu spoke, he opened the ornament with one hand, revealing a photograph lying inside.

The photo wasn't large, about the size of a regular ID photo, but the person in the photo made Ye Linyuan's pupils shrink sharply.

Is she Yan Ruyu?

Good heavens, is Yan Fan really the male lead? You're really cruel to him.
