After lunch, as usual, Lin Yu was heading to the snack shop to buy a bottle of sweet drink to enjoy. On his way, he pondered a question – a question about the second female lead.

After a four-day break that included the Mid-Autumn Festival and a Sunday, Lin Yu’s mind had recovered to a pretty good state. Moreover, after mulling it over these past few days, more memories about the second female lead had surfaced. He'd confirmed there were indeed two episodes of unsavory content involving her.

The first, of course, was a plot that everyone favored – the gracious lady saving her cute and obedient brother from being bullied at school.

As for the second episode, one that left a huge psychological shadow on Lin Yu, he could only recall a few key pieces of information. For one, it didn’t involve Yellow Hair. Secondly, the perpetrator wasn’t the official male lead alongside the second female lead either. In other words, the male character in this scenario was a complete stranger. Who he was, what he did, and why he would commit such acts remained a mystery to Lin Yu.

Perhaps the comic had briefly introduced the man's identity and motives, but perhaps Lin Yu, being in a rush at that time, didn't pay much attention to that fine print. As a result, he now found himself baffled about this second episode’s lead.

However, the central theme of this part was clear in his memory: assault. This presented Lin Yu with a dilemma. Should he get involved? He stroked his chin, feeling utterly conflicted. Turning a blind eye would be a betrayal of his pure-love beliefs. Yet, if he decided to intervene, how would he go about it without any information about the man or his intentions?

Perhaps an invisible force truly was acting upon this adult comic world, subtly orchestrating the events to follow the original storyline. If so, regardless of Lin Yu's desire or efforts to save the second female lead, was her terrible fate predestined by this so-called intangible power?

With this daunting thought, cold sweat beaded Lin Yu’s forehead. Was he really destined to be powerless against fate? That's no way to live...

But no! A sudden realization dawned on Lin Yu – he himself was a variable! Even if fate had predetermined the encounters with the female leads, Lin Yu had the choice not to replicate events from the comic. So, what did it matter if fate compelled him to meet these people? As long as he, Lin Yu, resided in Yellow Hair's body, the disastrous events linked to Yellow Hair in the comic would never unfold.

Motivated by a bold idea, Lin Yu thought, why not have a go against this so-called fate? What if he could actually help the second female lead escape her tragic destiny?

Amidst this train of thought and newfound resolve, Lin Yu found himself at the school store, where he casually picked up a three-yuan ‘happy drink for fat otakus’ before planning to return to class.

On his way back, as Lin Yu brainstormed ways to aid the second female lead in avoiding her grim fate, his gaze landed on a remarkably familiar face. It was not Tang Manman or any of the adult comic’s characters – it was a face immeasurably familiar to Lin Yu from his previous life.

It was his best buddy, Niu Dafei's face!

The tall young man currently cornered by a group far off in the distance was someone Lin Yu could hardly believe wasn’t Niu Dafei. He was just too similar, in height, appearance, and everything else – as if someone had used copy-paste.

As Lin Yu debated approaching the young man for another test, one of the yellow-haired guys next to him suddenly kicked him hard. This startled Lin Yu; what was the reckless guy thinking, kicking Niu Dafei?

In his past life where his family ran a martial arts gym and Lin Yu was systematically trained from a young age, he’d never been afraid of any peers. But Niu Dafei? Lin Yu couldn't help but tremble – that guy was just too overwhelmingly built, a veritable human tank!

Normally, a few punches wouldn't rattle Niu Dafei, but if someone took one from him... well, let’s just say they wouldn't manage without breaking something.

The group of average-sized but clearly junior-looking hoodlums up against Niu Dafei were in for it now.

They dared to strike Niu Dafei?

They’re finished!

Just you wait – when Niu Dafei gets angry, he'll twist off every single one of your skull caps!
