Novel Full Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he laughed. Then, he glanced coldly at Lin Shanchu. “Very well!”
Bang!
Lu Shiyuan slammed the door angrily and left.
After Lin Shanchu calmed down, she thanked him very sincerely. “Thank you, Mr. Huo.”
Huo Xunzhou may look fierce, but he was actually a good person.
He even made up a poor excuse in order to help her.
Huo Xunzhou’s expression was extremely indifferent. He held the cup and slowly drank the water. His fingers were long and beautiful.
Lin Shanchu waited for a moment. After making sure that he still had no intention of speaking, she said tentatively, “Then… I’ll be leaving first, okay?”
As expected, she did not receive any response.
She turned to leave, but just as she walked out the door, she felt a burning pain flaring in her body.
Lin Shanchu panted heavily and slowly slid to the floor against the door frame.
It was the cancer acting up.
This morning, she went to the hospital to get the results of her physical examination. She was diagnosed to have terminal cancer.
The first thing she did was to look for Lu Shiyuan.
After she saw Lu Shiyuan, before she could explain her condition, he questioned her why she hired someone to dump sulphuric acid on Tang Qidai.
In the midst of their argument, Lu Shiyuan pushed her down the stairs.
After that, Lu Shiyuan drove straight to the hospital to visit Tang Qidai without even looking at her.
Lu Shiyuan was simply a scumbag!
In the future, he would do even more vicious things to her.
However, in the original novel, this scumbag did not pay any price for what he had done. He was forgiven after shedding a few drops of regretful tears and even got a happy ending.
If things were to go her way…
She really wanted to kill him!
[Ding!]
[Persona restoration system has been activated.]
[It has been detected that the persona of the sadistic novel’s female lead is about to collapse. Commencing repairs…]
A cold mechanical voice sounded in Lin Shanchu’s mind.
What was that?
The system replied, [I’m not a thing. I’m the system. I’m repairing your persona at the moment. ]
Lin Shanchu was puzzled. What kind of stupid system was this? How could it say that it was not a thing?
The system replied, [Host, please remember your gentle and kind persona. Do not insult the system. ]
Lin Shanchu replied,”You’re an idiot.”
The system was speechless.
The pain in her body flared up again.
Lin Shanchu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Even if she was going to die, she would kill Lu Shiyuan first!
[The persona restoration has failed!] The system panicked.
[Host, as a gentle and kind female lead of a sadistic novel, no matter how the male lead hurts and tortures you, you should always be loyal to him. Also, you mustn’t kill him.]
Lin Shanchu was talking to the system in her mind.
“I don’t have brain cancer, but you’re a real idiot.”
The stupid system replied, [You’ll die if you don’t follow the plot.]
In the original novel, as the female lead, even though she was terminally ill and was sent to prison by Lu Shiyuan to be tortured, she still survived.
What the system meant was that if she wanted to live, she had to be tortured by Lu Shiyuan without struggling or resisting just like what happened in the novel.
Lin Shanchu replied, “I’d rather die than live without dignity!”
The system fell silent.
As if to confirm the system’s words, the pain in Lin Shanchu’s body became more intense in an instant.
She curled up and fell to the ground, almost fainting from the pain.
In her daze, she heard the door of the ward open.
Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair and looked at her coldly.
The pain in her body was miraculously reduced.
At the same time, Lin Shanchu’s mind was filled with static noise due to the interruption caused to the system.
He looked down at her and said in a cold tone, “Why haven’t you left?”
Lin Shanchu struggled to stand up from the ground. She forced a smile and weakly replied, “I’ll leave immediately.”
She saw Huo Xunzhou frown slightly, then turned his wheelchair and left without a word.
The moment he left, the pain in her body intensified again.
Lin Shanchu was puzzled. “Hey idiot, why did I feel less pain when Huo Xunzhou was around?”
The system retorted, [My name isn’t idiot. I have a serial number. Huo Xunzhou is the highlight of the book and is loved by the readers. He has a strong character aura and will have a certain influence on the people around him.]
Lin Shanchu was deep in thought. “Do the readers like Lu Shiyuan?”
The system was speechless.
Lin Shanchu laughed. “The readers are just like me. They can’t wait for Lu Shiyuan to die, right?”
She used to read novels.
She would read the readers’ comments before reading.
In those sadistic novels, the readers were either calling the male lead an idiot or begging the author to change the male lead.
The system replied, […Yes.]
Lin Shanchu suggested, “Then I’ll do what’s best for this world and help the readers get rid of this scourge!”
The system replied, [The male lead won’t die, but you’ll definitely die if you don’t follow the plot.]
Lin Shanchu snarled out. “Shut up, you idiot!
…
Lin Shanchu returned to the ward, grabbed her things, and quickly left the hospital.
She hailed a taxi at the entrance.
“Miss, where do you want to go?” the driver asked.
Lin Shanchu was stunned when she heard this.
The Lin family and the Lu family had been friends for generations. The two families had been business partners for many years.
After the company went public, a business rival bribed some assassins to kill their parents.
Lin Shanchu’s parents died on the spot in order to protect Lu Shiyuan’s father,
That year, Lin Shanchu was six years old.
She was brought to the Lu family after her parents passed away. Grandpa Lu even arranged a marriage between her and Lu Shiyuan.
She had lived with the Lu family for 16 years. Now that she had left the Lu family, where else could she go in this huge city?
The system replied, [Return to the Lu family.]
The stupid system was always reminding her to follow the plot.
Lin Shanchu pretended that the system just farted and said to the driver, “Just keep going. Stop at the entrance of the third hotel. Thank you.”
With nowhere to go, she could only find a hotel to stay in.
After checking in and entering the hotel room, the system started to gab again.
It said, [You’ll die if you don’t follow the plot. ]
Lin Shanchu replied, “What good would it do you if I die?”
The system was speechless.
Lin Shanchu continued, “I’m the female lead. If I really die, won’t the world collapse? Wouldn’t you have failed your mission?”
The system did not say anything, so Lin Shanchu knew that she had guessed correctly.
“So… shouldn’t you be treating me well and begging me to continue living?” Lin Shanchu’s lips curved up, revealing a cold smile that did not belong to an innocent female lead.
The system hollered, [Level one alert! The host’s persona is on the verge of going crazy! ]
The system was so frightened that it revealed everything in a daze.
[Sadistic novels are still romance novels. As long as you’re willing to fall in love, you won’t die!]
The system was definitely a sly one.
It had already threatened her that she would die if she didn’t follow the plot from the start. As expected, it had a backup plan.
Satisfied, Lin Shanchu went to wash up before going to bed.
After the system completed its self-repair, it looked back at its chat history with Lin Shanchu and went into seclusion on the spot.
Who was the sly fox here?
Midnight.
Lin Shanchu woke up from a nightmare.
She looked at the time. It was three in the morning.
