Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 163: Entrapped by Emotions

Feng Ya's gaze shifted once more towards Ye Wenxin's location.

Sensing the attention, Ye Wenxin instinctively pulled out a book from her storage bag to cover her face, pretending not to notice Feng Ya's affectionate gaze.

"Big Sis, Feng Ya is looking at me!" the chubby boy exclaimed.

"Do you know what the biggest illusion in life is?" Ye Wenxin turned to him, finding it amusing that he fancied himself as the main character without possessing any protagonist's aura.

"What is it?" the chubby boy asked, still caught up in his excitement, unaware of Ye Wenxin's disdainful glance.

"First, you think the person you like also likes you," Ye Wenxin began, recalling the first fallacy.

"But I feel like all women like me, especially when you see my... Hey, where's all my fat gone?" The chubby boy, no longer chubby, looked more like a model youth. If only his gaze towards women was more restrained, he might indeed attract a partner.

Ye Wenxin merely smiled, continuing, "Second, you think you'll never end up as an ordinary person."

The chubby boy laughed even more confidently. "I used to think I was ordinary, but since meeting you, Big Sis, my life has completely changed."

His flattery skills were improving, but Ye Wenxin just smiled, choosing not to ruin the moment. In truth, even if Gu Ao Tian still held the protagonist's role, it wouldn't necessarily benefit the chubby boy's development.

Most protagonists focus on their own growth, only considering others once they've achieved personal success. This is human nature, yet it seemed Gu Ao Tian lost this chance.

"But I really believe Feng Ya is looking at me!" the chubby boy repeated excitedly. Ye Wenxin was speechless. She only wanted to remind him not to dream during the day, but his fantasies grew more vivid.

Ye Wenxin set the book down, glancing towards Feng Ya's location. This time, she didn't avoid Feng Ya's gaze. Their eyes met, and her heart skipped a beat.

"She's looking at me."

"Big Sis, you're funny. You just mentioned life's biggest illusions. You have no connection with Feng Ya; why would she look at you?" The chubby boy laughed, thinking Ye Wenxin was the one deluded.

"What about you? What connection do you have with Feng Ya?" Ye Wenxin retorted, rolling her eyes. Compared to interacting with other girls, she found banter with the chubby boy more relaxing.

Wait, why hasn't any man liked her so far? Despite her ice physique, it shouldn't cause such an imbalance. Ye Wenxin suddenly recalled this odd situation, and for a moment, she was lost for words.

However, the chubby boy didn't notice her pause and continued proudly, "Of course, I have a connection with Feng Ya. Ao Tian was my former brother!"

His convoluted connection left Ye Wenxin amused yet exasperated. But this wasn't her main concern now. She leaned closer and quietly asked another question.

"Chubby, do you think men would like me?"

The chubby boy shuddered, looking terrified, as if Ye Wenxin's question was horrifying.
