in the original novel, when Xin came to the party as Jia Li's bodyguard, Ren poured wine on his shirt to embarrass him. Although it was Ren's fault, both the heroines took his side due to their feelings for Ren as well as their personal hatred for Xin, he was humiliated even further when he got kicked out of the party.
I won't blame Ren for his actions, since most of them were objectives given to him by his villain system and original protagonist was a kind of dick....but that doesn't mean I'm just gonna stand and let the same happened to me.
"hmmm, alright sure, you can come to the party as our personal bodyguard...but are you sure that's all."
and now I have my Trump card to avoid the humiliation, the Su family.
"yes, that's all!!"
it is a great achievement to get such an amazing Ally backing me up.
later, I was informed that my job as their personal bodyguard will start tomorrow and I need to shift to their mansion, since I'm gonna protect them 24/7.
As I was leaving, system also congratulated me.
"I don't know, I never thought I would get this far."
Since that day, I've spent most of my time protecting the Su family as well as taking care of little Mei. Taking care of her reminded me of my own Little sister, as she was just like Mei when she was little.
"uh .....is it really okay for a stranger like me to sit on the same table with you all?"
I said as I was eating dinner on the same table as the Su family.
Even though they weren't mentioned a lot in the novel, from what I remember, Su family was very rich and powerful yet a really kind family. They even treated their servants like they were their own.
after hearing my question, Su Qin yang burst into laughing.
" hahahaha don't be shy, even though you are our employee, you're also someone who saved my precious daughter, you are strong enough to take down 20 of our guards and most of all you have a great character. We can say you're close to being family."
as my master was praising me, both Mei and her mother also joined in.
" yes!! I also like playing with big brother Xin!!"
"yes, Xin is just like a brother for our dear mei."
all the Su family was now praising me, unknown to the fact that this man with good character, was gonna kidnap their daughter.
'I feel so wrong for deceiving such a kind hearted family.'
system is right.... I shouldn't feel too attached to some fictional family but, they remind me of my family in my previous life. A loving father.....a kind mother...and....a cute little sister.
Although my family wasn't this wealthy, the warmth is similar... it's as if they are my own family. Maybe that's also why I feel nostalgic whenever I interact with them.
* * * * *
"finally, the day has come."
I said as I was now inside the party, right now I was standing beside Mei, as her bodyguard.
as I heard the system, my eyes fall on Ren, who was looking like a super model in his 3 piece suit.
"damn I still don't get it, how come all heroines fell for Xin before regressing."
if I compare myself to Ren right now, my looks are just above average, the only thing I'm better is my skills as martial artist.
"what's the matter big brother Xin?"
Mei who got worried seeing me standing still and not saying anything.
"ah, it's nothing, thought I saw an old acquaintance, that's all."
as I was reassuring Mei, I noticed that Jia Li was also with Ren....AND SHE'S LOOKING AT ME!!
'SHIT DID SHE FOUND OUT THAT I WAS GREY KNIGHT!!'
but then I noticed, her gaze immediately turn to that of disgust.
'I know that system, you don't have to remind how all heroines see me as a fucking trash can.'
* * * * * * * * *
(Ren's POV)
when system told I have to do everything that I did before for another 7 years, I was frustrated....but I knew I can do it, I can act as a second generation villain without any problem.....that was....until.
"Jia Li, no matter what happens I'll make you mine hah....ehh WHY ARE YOU CRYING???"
as I was doing my dialogue, Jia Li, who was a cold hearted beauty....was CRYING!!
"jia li....h..here y-you go."
this wasn't the first time though, when the heroines started acting strange...
"listen Ren no matter what happens, Remember you can always count on your big sister....okay?"
Jiang xie xing, Ren's big sister, who wasn't related to him by blood, was now telling me that I should trust her!??
"ah- I...I don't know what you're planning you bitch!! but remember I'm never gonna fall for that!!"
the Jiang xie xing that I know, had a bad blood with her brother due to him belittling her all the time.
whenever I asked system to tell me if there's something wrong with the heroines.
"really?"
system just told me it's because of the heroines now have consciousness and won't act like fictional characters.
"so... I think all these changes are to make things more challenging.....well there's no way I'm gonna back out now."
BUT ....
"Happy Birthday dear Ren!!"
saying that Jia Li hugged me....but what made me feel even more strange was that he was not with her.
'damn where is that good for nothing hero!!'
as I was wondering if he's also become more conscious....my eyes stopped on Jia Li's face.
'now that I see her from close, isn't she really gorgeous!'
her jade like face, soft skin, pair of beautiful blue eyes....wait her eyes.... they're looking somewhere else....and they're looking with contempt..
'where is she looking?'
as I followed her gaze, my eyes stopped on a certain man....even though his face wasn't as handsome as mine, his looks were above average....but stood of him the most was his overflowing qi...
'finally found you.....Feng Xin..'
-to be continued
*bonus*
I'm really happy Today!! because today I can hangout with big brother Xin....but Big brother Xin looked distracted the whole time...
"what's the matter big brother Xin?"
He assured me that he saw an old friend...but sometimes later, he started to look dazed again.
'wait he's looking somewhere!'
when I followed his gaze, I noticed that they stopped on a certain big sister.
'WOW SHE'S SO PRETTY!!'
but pretty would be an understatement. she feels like a heavenly beauty. I then shifted my gaze to big brother Xin.
"don't worry big brother, I'll cheer for you!!"
