Novel Full Chapter 65: The Protagonist is Shunned
Chapter 65: The Protagonist is Shunned
Shen Tian purposely slowed his walking pace after leaving the restaurant.
Right on cue...
"Shen Tian! Wait!"
Chu Luoshen’s voice echoed from behind him.
She came running barefoot across the sidewalk, still carrying her heels in one hand.
However, in her panic, she accidentally tripped forward.
"Ah—!"
Before she could hit the ground, Shen Tian quickly caught her by the waist.
"Woah."
He steadied her gently.
"Slow down. Don’t hurt yourself."
Chu Luoshen looked up at him with watery eyes.
"I’m so sorry..." she said softly.
"I’m really sorry for what my little brother did..."
Her grip tightened slightly on his sleeve.
"I understand dates between adults are supposed to be private..."
Shen Tian quietly wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumb.
"Hey, this isn’t your fault."
His voice was calm and reassuring.
"I just don’t think it’s fair for our date to be ruined like this. You deserve better."
The moment those words entered Chu Luoshen’s ears...
Her heart nearly exploded.
’He really is the perfect man...’
At this point, she genuinely couldn’t find a single flaw in him.
"Come on," Shen Tian said softly.
"Let me take you home."
He opened the passenger-side door for her.
Chu Luoshen lowered her head shyly.
"...Okay."
Meanwhile...
Chu Fang was currently being physically thrown out by security guards.
"Get your hands off me, bastards!"
SPLASH!
He landed directly into a puddle outside as the restaurant doors slammed shut behind him.
"...DAMN IT!"
Furiously, Chu Fang smashed the puddle with his hand, causing water to splash everywhere.
"System! I’m seriously getting sick of this shit! Explain yourself!"
The system quickly responded.
[Host, I will investigate this issue.]
[This situation is not supposed to be happening.]
Chu Fang gritted his teeth.
Honestly, if the system had a physical body right now, he genuinely would’ve punched it.
As he slowly stood up and walked down the sidewalk alone, his thoughts became heavier and heavier.
’I was supposed to become the protagonist...’
’A protagonist with a harem...’
’A protagonist whose life was easy...’
His expression darkened.
His old life suddenly resurfaced in his mind.
Wake up.
Go to work.
Come home exhausted.
Read novels.
Play games.
Sleep.
Repeat.
No girlfriend.
No family.
No excitement.
Nothing.
He truly believed this new life was finally supposed to be his reward.
Something amazing.
Something special.
But instead...
Everything just felt like torture.
Slowly, Chu Fang looked toward the night sky.
Then quietly muttered,
"...System... Am I actually the protagonist of an NTR webnovel?"
The system instantly denied it.
[You should not be, Host.]
[Please allow me time to identify the error.]
Hearing that, Chu Fang could only sigh deeply before slowly walking back home alone.
. . .
"Thank you for bringing me home..."
Chu Luoshen stood at her front door while Shen Tian walked her up.
Shen Tian shook his head lightly.
"It’s only natural."
After saying their goodbyes, Chu Luoshen slowly entered her house.
The moment the front door closed behind her...
She slid down against it weakly until she was sitting on the floor.
Her expression looked completely depressed.
Tonight’s date had gone so perfectly...
Until Chu Fang ruined everything.
After sitting there silently for a moment, Chu Luoshen finally pulled out her phone and opened the sisters’ group chat.
—————
Chu Luoshen: "The date was a complete disaster..."
Almost instantly...
The typing indicators appeared.
Chu Zijin: "WHAT HAPPENED?!"
Chu Mei: "Wait... did you actually fall out of love with Shen Tian? Is that even possible?"
Chu Chuchu: "Tell us already! Don’t leave us hanging!"
—————
After staring at the messages for several seconds...
Chu Luoshen slowly began typing.
And then...
She told them everything.
After hearing the full story from Chu Luoshen, every single sister became furious.
Even though they were technically rivals in love...
At the end of the day, they were still sisters first.
And ruining another sister’s date?
That crossed the line.
Especially after hearing how happy Chu Luoshen had been before Chu Fang showed up.
The group chat instantly exploded.
—————
Chu Zijin: "He seriously followed you to the restaurant?!"
Chu Mei: "That’s actually insane..."
Chu Chuchu: "No wonder Shen Tian left early!"
—————
The sisters quickly reached the same conclusion.
Chu Fang needed to be punished.
Harshly.
And after a long argument...
They decided on the ultimate sister punishment.
They would shun him completely.
. . .
Completely unaware of his incoming doom, Chu Fang was slowly walking home alone.
Then suddenly...
ACHOO!
"Ugh..."
He wiped his nose using his sleeve while muttering groggily,
"Is someone talking about me...?"
Then his eyes suddenly drifted downward.
Specifically...
Toward the shirt he was still wearing.
The moment he saw Shen Tian’s printed face smiling back at him...
His anger exploded all over again.
"...I hate this damn shirt."
Without hesitation, Chu Fang ripped it off and threw it onto the sidewalk.
Then, still emotional and irrational, he started pulling at the rest of the outfit too.
"I don’t need your stupid clothes!"
At this point, Chu Fang was far too angry to notice his surroundings.
Everyone else noticed immediately.
Nearby mothers instantly covered their children’s eyes.
"OH MY GOD!"
"Someone call the police!"
An elderly man immediately pulled out his phone.
Several nearby men rushed over and tackled Chu Fang to the ground.
"You’re not going anywhere, sicko!"
"What?! What now?!"
Chu Fang squirmed around in complete confusion.
Then slowly...
He finally noticed where he was.
A children’s playground.
And he was standing there nearly half naked.
"...Shit."
His face instantly darkened.
Soon afterward, police sirens approached.
A police car stopped nearby before the door opened.
Ruan Yizhen stepped out calmly.
"I’ll handle things from here, gentlemen."
The men quickly backed away while Chu Fang was forcibly dragged back onto his feet.
"I can explain this!" Chu Fang shouted desperately.
Ruan Yizhen wasn’t listening at all.
From her perspective, this teenager was standing nearly in his underwear beside a playground full of children.
There was absolutely no explaining that.
"Tell it to the judge," she said coldly. "Not me."
With that, she cuffed him and escorted him toward the police car.
At this point, Chu Fang had completely given up trying to argue.
As he sat in the backseat, he simply wanted to slam his head repeatedly into the window.
[I’m so fucking stupid...]
[I seriously let my emotions ruin everything...]
Ruan Yizhen had just entered the driver’s seat when she suddenly froze slightly.
"...Huh?"
She slowly glanced backward toward Chu Fang.
’I can hear another inner voice...?’
For a moment, confusion filled her eyes.
Still, she quickly shook her head.
’Now’s not the time to think about that.’
She started the engine.
’First, I need to get this pervert back to the station. Ah~ I wouldn’t mind Shen Tian being a pervert to me... Uh, I’m so bad!’
