In that instant, Lin Xiaoai felt as if she had become disconnected from her senior's mental world, because what her senior was looking at... she could hardly understand it.

After standing there for a while, Yu Ci was so engrossed in reading that she wondered if she should also take down a comic book to experience the spiritual world of her senior.

But just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

She took out her phone and glanced at it; her expression turned slightly serious.

"Senior!"

"Huh?" Yu Ci, who had just recovered from the shock of the goddess touching his lower body, asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to take care of on the third floor, I need to go up there for a bit, you—"

She looked somewhat embarrassed.

Yu Ci thought it was something serious. "It's nothing. If you have something to do, you can go ahead. I'll stay here for a while and come find you on the third floor after I've picked out some comic books."

"That works too." Lin Xiaoai ran out the door. "See you later, senior."

Yu Ci responded.

After reading comics in the reading room for more than half an hour, Yu Ci felt a little tired, so he moved a series of comics from the bookshelf, picked them up, and prepared to borrow them to read during class to pass the time.

It was somewhat difficult to carry more than twenty comic books up to the third floor.

However, there were so many rooms on the third floor that Yu Ci had no idea where Lin Xiaoai was. Fortunately, he ran into a library staff member after walking only a few steps.

"Excuse me, classmate."

"Is there anything I can help you with, senior?"

"I'd like to ask, where is Lin Xiao'ai, who works part-time here?"

You mean Xiao Ai?

The boy in front of her suddenly wore a strange expression. Yu Ci paused, sensing something was off. "I mean her. Where is she?"

"this--"

The boy hesitated, "She's in the No. 11 reading room up ahead. You can go there if you need to find her, but..."

He sighed and muttered, "But it's best not to go now, go in half an hour."

After saying that, he ran off in a flash before Yu Ci could ask any further questions.

……

What the heck? Running so fast?

Although we don't know exactly what happened, it's certain that something bad has occurred.

The twenty-odd comic books were getting in the way, so Yu Ci thought for a moment, put the things on a chair in the corridor, lifted her skirt, and ran off like the wind.

The entrance to the reading room on National Day.

Before he even went inside, he could hear the voices of many people.

"Oh, things are in chaos here too."

"Didn't the school invite you poor bastards to work and study here? What, we pay you so much money a month, and you can't even put your books away properly?"

"That's hilarious."

"Don't go! There's still this side, it's a complete mess."

"Here, pick up the book—"

Having overheard this, it's obvious what happened.

Yu Ci felt like his head was on fire in an instant. Without hesitation, he pushed open the door with a stern face.

The group of women inside were stunned when they saw the door open.

Yu Ci quickly found the identities of this group of people from the original owner's memories.

The person in front of me, who is also a member of the Cold Prince's fan club, is named Su Ya, and is the original owner's mortal enemy.

"Simple and elegant!"

Yu called out her name directly.

The girl in high heels by the bookshelf heard his voice and smirked, "What do you want?"

"What are you all doing here?"

"What?" Suya covered her mouth and laughed. "What do you think I'm doing?"

"When you come to the library, of course you're there to read books."

Reading?

Looking at the scattered piles of books under the various bookshelves, I wondered, is this how a real reader looks?

Yu Ci glanced at Lin Xiaoai, who was squatting down picking up books, and thought that this woman was really vicious and rude.

“Since you’re here to read,” Yu Ci said, pointing to the books on the ground, “then pick up the books you’re reading.”

He spoke with a nonchalant expression, as if he were simply asking, "Have you eaten today?"

Suya, standing to the side, crossed her arms and said, "Tch, Yu Ci, have you been washing your hair too much lately? Is your brain not working properly?"

"You want me to do something?" Su Ya's face darkened. "Can you even get me to do it?"

Originally, I had no intention of getting involved in the struggle between women, but the person in front of me was obviously so arrogant that he was about to fly away. However, this Suya did indeed have the capital to be arrogant.

Xu Suya, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

The Xu and Yu families are both well-established families in this area, and they are evenly matched in terms of wealth and power.

As the eldest daughter of the Yu family, it was indeed impossible for her to persuade the eldest daughter of the Xu family to do so, but—

Yu Ci looked around at the people around him.

"If she doesn't pick it up, will you?"

"I can't do anything to Xu Suya, but dealing with you guys is still very simple."

The young girls who were initially just watching the show were suddenly dragged into the fray.

Seemingly having never seen such a shameless person before, Xu Suya paused for a moment, then stretched out her hand and shouted, "Yu Ci, how dare you!"

Why wouldn't I dare?

Arguing with Xu Suya was obviously pointless, so Yu Ci turned his gaze directly to the young delinquents beside him and asked, "Are you going to pick it up or not?"

Yu Ci was very imposing; at the very least, his serious and stern expression was indeed more intimidating than Xu Suya's angry and embarrassed demeanor.

Some people were already struggling to hold on and were about to crouch down to pick things up.

but--

Xu Suya stopped them.

Without saying a word, Yu Ci took out his phone, tapped the screen lightly, and quickly said, "Dad, is that you?"

"I have something to tell you."

"It's like this, I was—" He glanced at the person in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, "...bullied at school, yes, did you give me their names? I'd like to ask."

"Gentlemen, shall we say your name or pick up some items?"

In this situation, I reckon anyone would know which option to choose.

With many hands making light work, the scattered books on the ground were quickly placed on the bookshelves.

While everyone was picking up the books, Yu Ci walked to the side and helped Lin Xiaoai, who was squatting on the ground, to her feet.

Seeing the fine sweat on the little girl's forehead and temples, he subconsciously frowned, then walked directly to Xu Suya and pulled her out of the Eleventh Reading Room.

"Why are you here causing her trouble for no reason?"

"Miss Yu, have you really lost your mind?" Xu Suya looked at Yu Ci suspiciously. "Don't you know why I'm causing trouble for her?"

Yu Ci said that he really didn't know.

"What exactly happened?"

"Have you not known that she's been getting very close to Prince Leng lately?"

"Getting very close?" How could that be? Yu Ci subconsciously felt something was wrong. According to the plot given by the previous yuri system, he had eliminated the factors that would allow the male and female protagonists to meet before they did. These two should continue to maintain a lukewarm relationship now.

This is not right; we need to investigate further.

Fortunately, although they were mortal enemies on the surface, they were still in the same fan club, and the original owner and Xu Suya still had some affection for each other.

Especially regarding matters concerning Leng Xing, there is a lot of affection involved.

“Recently, people in that class have been saying that Prince Leng often talks to her and brings her things.” Xu Suya’s expression turned sour as she said this. “You know very well what kind of person Prince Leng is.”

To do something like this for a woman, what else could it be but being moved?

It's ridiculous. She and Yu Ci fought for so long, and neither of them succeeded. She was taken away by a poor bastard. It would have been better if she had lost to Yu Ci. At least that would have looked better.

"I'm here to teach this woman a lesson." Xu Suya had the haughty expression of a young lady on her face. "Tell her to stay away from Prince Leng. He's not someone she can even dream of."

Xu Suya said a lot, but only two sentences were useful.

First, Leng Xing, for some unknown reason, still noticed Lin Xiaoai.

Second, the fact that Lin Xiaoai has never mentioned all the things Leng Xing has done recently suggests that Leng Xing is not very important to Lin Xiaoai right now.

After thinking about it carefully, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Once you're fine on your own end, it's time to deal with the problems of the people in front of you.

"Suya, I have a question for you. Please answer it again."

"You said."

"You said that the people in the class saw Leng..." The word "Xing" was about to come out when Yu Ci remembered something and forced back the goosebumps on his arms, and read on: "Prince was talking to Lin Xiao'ai, and Prince Leng gave her something. Did you ask the people in the class if she accepted it?"

"this--"

It's obvious they didn't ask.
