**Chapter 1: It Feels Like Anyone Can Manipulate Me**
Staying up late to read novels led to a fateful night when I closed my eyes and opened them again, only to find myself transmigrated into the role of a brainless, villainous male supporting character!
And not just any character, but one whose corpse is found with a half-eaten, moldy fried dough stick still clutched in his hand.
Readers familiar with urban fantasy novels know that only a villainous male character can continuously create chaos to drive the plot between the male and female leads.
After fully integrating the memories of this world, a bitter smile crept onto Long Ao Tian’s lips.
Especially as he looked around at the group of high school students in their uniforms, that bitter smile gradually turned into something more sour!
“Isn’t this a bit too hasty?”
Before transmigrating, Long Ao Tian was an orphan in a welfare home. Having been weak and bullied throughout his childhood, he vowed never to let anyone push him around again, so he named himself Long Ao Tian.
The name had a great meaning, it was powerful and imposing.
But somewhere along the way, the name Long Ao Tian took on a different flavor overnight.
He would never forget the day he introduced himself to everyone.
The looks on their faces were a mix of shock and disbelief, as if he had just played a huge joke on them.
It was only after a colleague explained that he learned the name Long Ao Tian had become a popular internet meme.
It originated from a recently popular novel.
Confused, Long Ao Tian went home after work and searched for the novel his colleague mentioned.
In the story, Long Ao Tian is a senior high school student, but he’s a delinquent with no academic skills.
Fighting and brawling are his norms, and arrogance is his trademark!
That would have been fine, as it was just a novel, so Long Ao Tian continued to read.
But the more he read, the more speechless he became.
He really wanted to point at the author and ask if they wrote it this way on purpose or if it was an accident!
It was just too outrageous; what was with that crooked smile?
And really, could anyone be this foolish?
As the villainous supporting character, Long Ao Tian had to constantly create chaos to push the story forward.
And the so-called plot development meant that the villain Long Ao Tian would continuously bully and torment the female lead, making her suffer and despair.
Finally, the male lead would appear like a warm ray of sunshine, illuminating the female lead trapped in darkness.
At this point in the story, Long Ao Tian could still tolerate it!
But the next part of the plot was simply infuriating!
The villain Long Ao Tian, while bullying the female lead, unknowingly falls in love with her!
What the hell? No one could write such a hasty plot without a decade of brain damage!
And after seeing the female lead with the male lead, the villain Long Ao Tian, filled with jealousy, actually tries to compete for the male lead’s woman.
Not only does he recklessly target the male lead, but he also intensifies his torment of the female lead.
During this time, the author, in a bid to stretch the word count, added in the storylines of the white moonlight second female lead and the childhood friend third female lead.
Then the most outrageous twist came: due to his hatred for the male lead, the villain Long Ao Tian swore to take away all the women the male lead liked.
So, he not only busied himself tormenting the female lead but also crazily harassed the second female lead and teased the third, trying to toy with her.
His methods included threats, bribery, coercion, and even drugging...
In the end, none of it worked, and he unwittingly made a wedding dress for the male lead.
In short, amidst all the love and hate, and plot twists, the villain Long Ao Tian, who had done all the bad deeds, ended up dead in the street, clutching a half-eaten moldy fried dough stick.
After staying up all night to finish this ending, Long Ao Tian’s heart was in turmoil.
He simply couldn’t understand how such a stupid plot could exist.
So, at the story’s conclusion, he furiously questioned the author, and when he woke up, he found himself sitting in this classroom!
If he remembered correctly, before the class bell rang, the female lead would transfer into this class.
Thinking of this, a powerful survival instinct made Long Ao Tian jump to his feet.
The noise he made drew the attention of all his classmates.
There was no time to explain.
Just thinking about the original plot, where he would die in the street, clutching a half-eaten moldy fried dough stick, made it impossible for him to attend this class!
It would be best to drop out and stay as far away from the male and female leads as possible.
By the time Long Ao Tian sprinted to the school gate, he found it tightly shut, with a barbed wire fence surrounding the wall.
Testing the height of the gate, Long Ao Tian took a running leap, only to be pinned to the ground by three or five security guards.
“Hey, it’s you again! Can’t get over the wall and want to break through the gate? Do you really think we’re air?”
“Let me go! I want to drop out! I want to drop out!” Long Ao Tian struggled.
“Drop out? Ha! I think you just want to skip class! If you get out, it’ll be a defeat for our careers!”
Despite being strong and fit, Long Ao Tian was inevitably escorted back to the classroom by the five security guards.
Ding ding ding...
As the class bell rang, Long Ao Tian stared intently at the classroom door.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, and then a middle-aged woman walked in from outside.
The expression on her face and her piercing gaze made it clear to Long Ao Tian that she was the homeroom teacher of this class!
After entering, the homeroom teacher lightly tapped the desk.
All eyes turned to her.
Then she said calmly, “We have a new member joining our class today. Let’s give her a warm welcome.”
With that, she waved her hand toward the door: “Hu Yu Ying, please come in.”
Upon hearing that name, Long Ao Tian felt a wave of despair wash over him!
Then he froze for a moment, before suddenly realizing.
Wait a minute, he had just transmigrated here, and all the plot points about him bullying and tormenting the female lead hadn’t even begun yet. What was he afraid of?
As long as he didn’t follow the plot and bully the female lead, wouldn’t he be able to change the ending where he dies clutching a fried dough stick?
Thinking of this, Long Ao Tian let out a sigh of relief!
With clarity in his mind, his entire demeanor relaxed!
As the homeroom teacher finished speaking, a slender figure walked into the classroom.
The girl was thin, wearing a faded school uniform, and her slightly immature face was pale, giving her an unhealthy look. She seemed very shy.
Her timid eyes glanced at her classmates at the podium, then immediately dropped her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
However, after taking a deep breath, she still bowed slightly to everyone and softly said, “Hello everyone, my name is Hu Yu Ying, and I’m transferring from No. 2 High School.”
After saying this, her fair skin flushed a light pink from nervousness, giving her an endearing quality.
“Her voice is sweet and soft, and paired with her innocent, bashful face that easily turns red, it’s no wonder she gets bullied.”
The moment Long Ao Tian saw Hu Yu Ying, he instinctively began to critique.
After all, she looked far too easy to bully; it felt like anyone could manipulate her.
**Chapter 2: Don’t Be Afraid, I Won’t Torment You**
The homeroom teacher also noticed that Hu Yu Ying seemed a bit shy and uncomfortable.
So she pointed to a seat in the back row and said, “Hu, the seating in our class is arranged by rank. You can sit there for now, and we’ll rearrange based on test scores next time.”
Hu Yu Ying obediently nodded at the homeroom teacher and then walked to the back row of the classroom.
Once seated, she began to organize her books and stationery.
She took out her textbook and focused on listening to the homeroom teacher explain the key points from the book.
After a moment, Hu Yu Ying bit her lip, her small hands unconsciously clenching, and her head lowered even further...
Long Ao Tian raised an eyebrow. Was his gaze really that intimidating?
He had only looked at her a couple of times, so why did she look like she was about to cry?
Was she really that timid?
Seeing her like this made Long Ao Tian reluctant to keep staring at Hu Yu Ying.
