Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine C.102

Chapter 102: First Arrival in Donghai, Encounter with the Leg Maniac!

While Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan were sleeping soundly under their blankets, Wang Yi was bustling around the school in a state of near panic. He had painstakingly nurtured three students for Qingbei, yet all three had chosen to go to Donghai

University instead. Wang Yi, being an experienced teacher, quickly realized that the trio must have conspired this together. Moreover, there were rumors circulating about Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan dating, which he understood to a certain extent.

However, understanding aside, he still didn’t want them to go to Donghai University. Why not head to the capital instead, he thought. Unfortunately, Su Lin hadn’t provided him with an answer to this question.

With a wry smile, Wang Yi said to the representatives from Qingbei’s admissions offices, “I’m really sorry, but that’s the situation. My students are quite stubborn and won’t listen to any persuasion.”

One of the representatives asked, “Mr. Wang, didn’t you inform Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan about our offer?”

Wang Yi sighed again, “It’s not that I didn’t want to tell them. They just hung up before I could even start explaining. It’s no use; they’re quite peculiar, each more than the other.”

The representatives then inquired if he could contact their families, as they were willing to negotiate directly with them. Wang Yi agreed, hoping that the parents might persuade them to reconsider.

However, when the admissions officers reached out to Lin Guoqiang and Su Zhenguo, the mayor and a corporate head respectively, they were met with a direct and straightforward response: “We’ll listen to our children on this.” The matter was out of their hands.

Soon enough, the news spread online, bringing Su Lin back into the spotlight. His interview from a few days ago was also dug up. Netizens finally realized that Su Lin wasn’t just boasting; he was genuinely exceptional.

As Jiangnan Province’s top science student, his achievements were undeniable. People began to view Su Lin’s previous flamboyant statements in a new light; after all, he had the achievements to back up his confidence.

That morning, in Donghai!

Zhao Yanyan looked back at Lin Tian with impatience. Previously, Lin Tian, although a dissolute rich kid, would disappear the moment she showed disapproval.

But things were different now. Since the death of Lin Yourong, Lin Tian had become more persistent, bothering her every day, and his manner of speaking had evolved from simple confessions to more sophisticated dialogues.

Lin Tian had no choice. He wanted Zhao Yanyan to join his group, but his image in her eyes was too negative. Therefore, he had to adopt a different approach. Given his persistent image, he decided to deceive her first and then win her over.

“Lin Tian, I’ve told you, I have something to do today. Can you please not follow me?” Zhao Yanyan said with irritation.

“Your dad said to let me accompany you to relax, and you agreed. Why are you suddenly saying you’re busy?” Lin Tian looked aggrieved.

“I… My dad did say that, but I didn’t agree. Lin Tian, Uncle Lin’s death made me very sad, but that doesn’t mean you can pester me endlessly. I’ve told you several times, I have things to do today. Please, stop following me,” Zhao Yanyan pleaded.

Lin Tian was puzzled. This wasn’t how it went in his previous life. Although Zhao Yanyan was still annoyed with him, she really took him out to distract him.

They visited many places, but at that time, he was too immersed in the grief of his father’s death to pay much attention to her, and they gradually drifted apart after going to university. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way after reliving his life.

“Yanyan, can you tell me what’s going on? I can help you if you need it,” he offered.

Zhao Yanyan shook her head, “No, thank you.”

She realized he was a hopeless case. She had planned to take Lin Tian out to relax, but upon interacting with him, she found him heartless, showing no sign of grief.

However, in front of Zhao Tiande, he appeared extremely distressed, as if on the verge of death. Zhao Yanyan was no fool. She figured out that Lin Tian had just changed his tactics to pursue her, now using his father’s death as an excuse.

This was precisely what she despised the most. His father had died, and he was using his father’s death to chase girls? Was he even human?

With these thoughts, Zhao Yanyan’s attitude towards Lin Tian turned utterly cold, even hostile. If Lin Tian knew that this was the cause of her disgust, he might have regretted his approach.

“Yanyan, can you at least tell me what you’re going to do?” he asked again.

“I’m picking someone up. My friend is coming to Donghai for a few days, and I’m going to meet her. Is that clear enough? If it is, please step aside, thank you.” With that, Zhao Yanyan walked past Lin Tian and left.

Lin Tian stared blankly at Zhao Yanyan’s retreating figure, perplexed. Even with more than twenty years of additional experience, he couldn’t understand how things had turned out this way.

“In my previous life, did Yanyan go to pick up someone? I don’t think so.”

After meticulously recalling his memories and confirming his doubts, Lin Tian became even more suspicious. “Has the butterfly effect of my rebirth become so significant?”

“No matter what, the overall direction won’t change. I’ll stick to the plan. Su Zhenguo, you killed my father, so I’ll start by taking some interest from your son.”

Thinking of Su Lin, Lin Tian could only sigh at his luck. With a father like Su Zhenguo, Su Lin took over the Su Corporation at the age of fifty and soared to the pinnacle of his life.

In his memory, Su Lin had been pursuing a female CEO named Xia Shiyu, but she didn’t seem too interested in him. Rumors about their relationship would surface from time to time.

“What is Su Lin doing at this moment?” Lin Tian felt a headache coming on. He didn’t know what Su Lin was up to and how to deal with him. He thought he should find some helpers to establish himself in this timeline.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yanyan, relieved that Lin Tian hadn’t followed her, walked briskly to the meeting point she had arranged with Lin Xiaowan.

Standing at the rendezvous, Zhao Yanyan’s mind was filled with thoughts of Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan.

Her trip to Zhongjiang had left a deep impression on her, especially Su Lin, a wealthy, handsome, courteous, and profound man. She could sense Lin Xiaowan’s admiration for Su Lin in every conversation they had.

A man who could garner such admiration from a girl like Lin Xiaowan must be extraordinary. Simultaneously, she felt an inexplicable flutter in her heart towards Su Lin, but considering his relationship with Lin Xiaowan, she suppressed these feelings.

“Zhao Yanyan, he’s Xiaowan’s man. Are you going to compete with her for a man? You’re not that desperate. There are so many outstanding people in the world; don’t make a mistake.” With these thoughts, Zhao Yanyan’s resolve strengthened.

Finally, around ten o’clock, Zhao Yanyan picked up her friend. Seeing the familiar Mercedes-Benz stop in front of her, she smiled.

Su Lin rolled down the window. “Yanyan, this place is really hard to find.”

“That’s because you haven’t been to Donghai much. You’ll find it easier the more you visit,” Zhao Yanyan replied with a smile.

“That’s just stating the obvious. Get in!”

Zhao Yanyan nodded, opened the car door, and got in.
