Chapter 261: Volume 1, Chapter 261: Stupid Beauty x Sports School Male God (23)

I stayed in the hospital room for over a month recuperating, and never saw the villain's shadow.

Grandma's health is poor, so she can't watch over her all the time; she can only have Aunt Liu come to take care of her, and she herself will come by occasionally.

When Grandma comes over, she mostly comes to criticize her, being stern and earnest.

"Grandma has arranged it for you; you'll go abroad to study next semester."

I thought the precious granddaughter would refuse, but Jiang Zhi agreed without saying a word.

"Okay, Grandma, no need to wait until next semester; let's go abroad now, together."

The old lady was quite surprised upon hearing it: "You're willing to leave this place?"

Jiang Zhi ate fruit, nodding: "I'm willing to do so; actually, I don't even like He Yin that much, Grandma."

The old lady was especially relieved: "That's good, that's good."

777 whispered: "Host, the villain is at the door."

Jiang Zhi thought to herself: "I did it on purpose."

After the old lady left, she lifted the blanket, slipped on her slippers, and walked out of the hospital room.

She saw the youth standing beside her.

He Yin looked weary, yet it hardly affected his handsome visage, adding a touch of decadent maturity.

He held a fruit in his hand, the same fruit that appeared daily on the bedside table; whenever Jiang Zhi fell asleep and Aunt Liu wasn't around, the youth would buy it and secretly place it on the bedside table.

Jiang Zhi wore a blue-and-white patient gown, her long hair flowing like a waterfall to her waist, her snow‑white complexion slightly lifted as she spoke softly: "Let's break up."

He Yin's fingers gripping the bag tightened, his pupils constricted, and gradually grew dim.

Seeing he remained silent, Jiang Zhi bluntly laid out her thoughts: "You may have forgotten, but when you saved me as a child, I pursued you because of that."

"He Yin, regardless of our backgrounds or experiences, we are worlds apart; I have never actually liked you—saving you that night was merely to repay a debt."

She lounged nonchalantly against the bench, kicked her slippers, and continued: "So you don't need to feel sorry for me; I'm leaving for abroad tomorrow, and we'll never meet again—just forget me."

He Yin lifted his crimson eyes and stared straight at her, like a wolf‑dog on the brink of death.

"All the times you said you liked me were just to repay a debt?"

Jiang Zhi smiled indifferently: "Exactly, what else? Do you really think I'd like someone as poor and unapproachable as you? He Yin, tell me, what do you have that would make me like you?"

The girl in his memory seemed to have changed; it was all just a lie. Because he had saved her when he was a child, she had fabricated this dream herself.

He Yin's bag fell with a 'pat', scattering fruit everywhere, and a suffocating pain gripped his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Jiang Zhi sighed, picked up an apple from the ground, and said: "There's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

Speaking, she slowly drew near, tiptoed to his ear, and whispered gently: "Actually, I investigated you long ago; I told those people where your family lives."

In the depths of He Yin's dark eyes lay suppressed bouts of madness; his gaze was like a blade of congealed frost, filled with gloomy malice.

"No, I don't believe it!"

Jiang Zhi ignored his emotional breakdown, each of her words easily piercing his heart: "Then why did I only contact you after the winter break had passed for so long? And why did those people show up as soon as I arrived at your home?"

Her pallid lips curled slightly, giving rise to a sickly smile.

"A Yin, everything I've done is to repay a debt."

Having said that lightly, she entered the hospital room and closed the door.

At that moment.

【Villain Hatred Value reaches 100 points; main quest completed.】

【Second main quest unlocked: marry the villain He Yin.】

Jiang Zhi: "?"

—Hey, I just stabbed him in the heart, and now I have to marry him? Sick!

【No time limit!】

Jiang Zhi knew this world had two main quests, but she didn't expect the second one to be this; if she had known, she would have spoken more gently just now……

777 said: "We're about to jump in time, Host."

The school setting takes up little of the main plot; most of the story unfolds eight years later.

Jiang Zhi turned the door handle, wanting to see whether He Yin was still outside.

What met her eyes was the fruit scattered on the floor and an empty hallway.

He had left at some point.

Jiang Zhi said weakly: "Go ahead and jump."

—

Eight years later.

Airport.

Waves of screams echoed throughout the airport, constantly shouting the three characters "Jiang Zhi Zhi"; fans held up light sticks, crowded the aisles, and passersby curiously glanced over.

All that could be seen was a figure hurriedly making her way, surrounded by a few staff members, wearing a casual gray sports outfit paired with Martin boots, a black mask and a baseball cap, completely covered, her face indiscernible.

After she got into the nanny van outside the airport, the fans gradually dispersed.

Inside the nanny van.

The woman removed her mask and cap, reclined against the back seat, her ink‑black hair loosely draped over her shoulders, revealing an excessively beautiful visage—skin like mountain snow, lips rosy, waist slender enough to be encircled by one hand, long slender legs intertwined, she closed her eyes to rest.

Agent Sister Lin said: "Jiang Jiang, there's a brand banquet tonight you need to attend."

Jiang Zhi replied, her expression weary.

Although these eight years were a time skip, she felt as if she had lived through each day, remembering everything that happened.

After going abroad she still attended a drama academy, later entering the entertainment industry, making her official debut by playing a student with few scenes in a film directed by an acquaintance of her grandmother.

Her face alone could go viral without saying a word; thus, after the film screened, her Weibo gained a million followers and she signed with a company.

Over the past eight years, she has gotten along smoothly, with nothing major happening. She only films two dramas a year, does no variety shows, never hypes up gossip, mainly because she doesn't rely on this to make money—the property left by her family is enough to support her for the rest of her life.

But it is precisely her laid-back personality and top-tier looks that have earned her countless fans, and she was even rated as the foremost of the three leading actresses, instantly rising to become a first-line star.

Recently she has been filming a movie; the director is Director He, a very famous director domestically—seven out of his ten films have won awards, and his name alone is a brand.

Originally, an actress like her, a vase type, would not catch his eye, but the film has a major role—the number one beauty of the capital—and Director He auditioned many actresses before finally deciding on her at first sight.

Jiang Zhi has been busy these days, busy filming; she took leave today just to come out to attend a brand-name banquet.

After attending, she has to go back to filming.

She learned from 777 that there would be a villain at tonight's banquet, which is why she agreed to come out.

She doesn't know much about the villain's experiences over these eight years; she only knows that a few years ago he represented the country at the Olympics and won the most important gold medal of his life, but right after the competition he retired directly.

This incident hit the hot searches, with everyone wondering why he, so young, had won a gold medal and had a limitless future, yet chose to retire.

Jiang Zhi also couldn't figure it out.

In the years that followed, he seemed to have vanished from sight, never appearing in public again, and no one knows what he went on to do.
