After wrapping up, Lin Yu turned towards the docilely standing, tearful Tang Manman and instructed, "Go back to the classroom."
Tang Manman obediently nodded, casting a timid glance at Lin Yu before wiping the tears from her face and departing.
With matters settled, Lin Yu left behind the weeping purple-haired girl and headed back upstairs. Reaching the eighth floor, he entered the classroom and sat down at his desk. Despite opening his Chinese textbook, Lin Yu’s thoughts were occupied by Tang Manman’s eyes, filled with a mix of gratitude and a peculiar emotion.
Lin Yu was aware that despite his efforts to avoid it, the very thing he wished to prevent happened. Yet, this was hardly surprising. Being heroically rescued three times in twenty-four hours would make even a heart of stone flutter.
Thus, he resolved to drastically increase Tang Manman’s dislike for him in any further interactions. If they were to continue crossing paths, he was determined to ensure she developed disdain towards him, lest her affection continue to grow, potentially leading her to embody the persona depicted in the manga—a scenario Lin Yu, as the purehearted forum admin, could never accept.
Before the bell for class could ring, several unfamiliar adults entered the classroom, their scrutinizing gaze sweeping over every student who didn’t fit the mold.
"Who's Lin Yu?" demanded a portly middle-aged man in a black and white striped shirt and black-framed glasses.
"That’s me," Lin Yu responded, standing up.
"Come with us," the corpulent man ordered.
"Alright," Lin Yu replied indifferently, leaving his seat.
Following these strangers out of the classroom, Lin Yu remained composed, unencumbered by fear or worry. He had anticipated their arrival. This was reality, unlike the scenarios in adult manga where villains faced no repercussions for their abhorrent deeds. Here, actions had consequences, especially for openly bullying a female student amidst an observant crowd, an act school regulations would never condone. Especially during a pivotal period following the merger of two school districts with strict rules, ideal for setting an example.
The newcomers were likely teachers from B district, called upon following reports of the incident on the fourth-floor corridor.

Led to an office on the fifth floor, Lin Yu faced several acquaintances with a calm demeanor. He wasn’t overly concerned about the consequences of his actions, considering his motive was to intervene righteously.
The progression of events unfolded as Lin Yu had anticipated. The teachers, upon learning that the swollen-faced, purple-haired girl had been the instigator of bullying Tang Manman, reacted with visible disgust, especially the portly discipline master, whose expression darkened with fury.
Ultimately, the outcome matched Lin Yu’s expectations. As the innocent victim, Tang Manman faced no punishment and served merely as a witness. The purple-haired girl and her minions were all marked for misconduct, while Lin Yu, for his involvement in the altercation, received a minor reprimand, nothing too severe given his noble intentions.
Purple-hair, however, faced the harshest consequences. When disclosing her motivations for bullying Tang Manman, Lin Yu did not hesitate to expose Purple-hair’s role in previous incidents, while selectively omitting details to ensure her and her accomplices' future cooperation in safeguarding Tang Manman.
Following the ordeal, Lin Yu departed from the headmaster's office and made his way back up the stairs, only to hear a soft call from behind.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Pausing briefly at the sound of Tang Manman’s voice, Lin Yu quickened his pace towards the stairwell, determined not to engage with her here. Ideally, any future interaction would occur in solitude where he could fully play the villain to increase her disdain for him, an act impossible amidst public scrutiny.
Ignoring the call, Lin Yu ascended the stairs while Tang Manman, standing disheartened at the stairwell, watched him disappear around the corner before slowly walking away...
After lunch, Lin Yu sat beneath a willow on the edge of the schoolyard, rifling through his memories of the adult manga for clues about the future. Details remained scarce; the story was rooted in NTR with four main female characters, each with their designated male partners. The refined young man who had been with Tang Manman the previous evening was her intended match.
The thought of him brought on a headache. That coward! It’s one thing to choose not to intervene, but another when the one in trouble is your significant other.
In Lin Yu’s mind, he deserved the NTR outcome.
Forgetting about the frustrating character, Lin Yu revisited other aspects of the manga. Among the three remaining heroines, one stood out for her stunning figure, suggesting an older character, possibly a teacher or another profession. His memories were fuzzy, except for her exceptional physique.
Another memorable character was a cute girl, evidently a petite and pretty minor, fitting the stereotype all too well for such explicit content creators.
The identity of the final heroine eluded him, but Lin Yu was certain she wasn’t Tang Manman’s mother. Because who could forget such a tantalizing storyline?
