53 Not As Pretty As You

The reason why Zhi Ruo instantly recognized the female lead was that she had previously seen the promotional webtoon that the web novel had posted to attract more readers. The resemblance was so hitting that Zhi Ruo instantly recognized the female lead's perfect face.

' Now that I think about it, there was indeed a chapter where she went to shoot for a magazine and that magazine became really popular instantly. Golden halo huh? ' Zhi Ruo pondered

Compared to other transmigrators, Zhi Ruo wasn't that scared that she had become a villain thus meaning that she would be crushed by the female lead as it was actually very simple to get rid of that title.

She basically needed to do nothing and just sit back while the male lead and the female lead get together. Her not appearing would hugely impact the story as she was the main villain that supposedly made the female lead's life very hard.

' However, wouldn't that be better? The female lead already had too many enemies, having the hardest one gone should be a good point right? Furthermore, I have already cancelled my engagement with the male lead, there is basically no way I would become her enemy right?' Zhi Ruo reflected while holding onto the bear supporting her, just in case she would fall.

' It's actually really easy to avoid death flags, I wonder why all those transmigrators panicked so much? ' Zhi Ruo lifted her brow thinking back to all the transmigration novels she read in her past life.

\" Why are you looking so intently? Is she that pretty? \" Wang Yong questioned as he saw the girl continuously staring at the model.

\" Yeah, what do you think? \" Zhi Ruo finally shifted her attention to the man holding her.

\" Hmm. Not as pretty as you. \" Wang Yong casually answered.

Zhi Ruo flushed and was dumbfounded, ' This big boss really likes to flirt huh? I didn't see it in him, I guess the big boss has all kind of skills... '

\" That wasn't the question. \" Zhi Ruo turned away to the model to avoid exposing her hot cheeks.

Wang Yong chuckled at her cute reaction and smiled.

' Either way, I wish this female lead all the luck in the world, she is going to need it... Should I help her? ' Zhi Ruo suddenly thought.

' No... the experiences made her stronger and nothing too bad should happen as long as she is the female lead... ' Zhi Ruo didn't want to get involved in the messy plot of this dramatic and frustrating novel she read.

' If I associate myself to her only bad things would happen to me...Should I compromise my current happiness for her? I don't even know if I can help her much...I skimmed over the chapters to hopefully get a good ending, I barely remember anything... ' Zhi Ruo reflected.

The sun was liberating extreme waves of heat and Zhi Ruo was getting uncomfortable, \" You can let me down now, thank you. \"

Wang Yong gently posed her on the ground and smiled, \" Do you also want to model? \"

Zhi Ruo was taken aback, \" What? Me? Model? \"

\" Yeah, you were looking at the girl so intently, I thought you wanted to be her. \" Wang Yong commented.

\" Not at all, \" Zhi Ruo laughed, \" If I became a model, I would be sad to always control my diet and all. \"

\" Hmm. \" Wang Yong agreed, he also didn't want to expose his treasure to the world.

\" Let's go back, I am starting to get tired. \" Zhi Ruo proposed.

\" Do you want ice cream? \" Wang Yong pointed at the little stand selling ice cream.

\" Hmm...I want cookies and cream \" Zhi Ruo nodded.

After getting their ice cream, Wang Yong promptly held her hand, \" It's dangerous to eat and walk at the same time, so for precaution, I'll hold your hand. \"

It was all within Wang Yong's plan, as long as she said yes to the ice cream, there was no way she would able to refute his ' help ' as there was also no place for them to sit down and eat.

\" But... \" Zhi Ruo wanted to object but was cut off.

\" Your family told me to take care of you, I am only doing my duty. \" Wang Yong calmly explained.

\" Okay then... \" Zhi Ruo mindlessly agreed, ' It's not like it's affecting me much either way. '

Seeing the couple walking away, Xiao Ling who wanted to approach them dejectedly returned to her photoshoot as her break was almost over, ' I wanted to talk to them... '

While walking on the beach, on their way back, while holding hands, Zhi Ruo realized that they were getting a lot of glances and stares from passerby.

Zhi Ruo immediately blamed the big boss for being too handsome and attracting too many bees, ' How can he be so handsome? He has to stop, it will only attract more rivals... '

Zhi Ruo pouted as she unhappily thought about all girls chasing after him in the novel, completely unaware of her possessive feeling towards Wang Yong.

\" Can I try your ice cream? \" Wang Yong asked as he looked at the girl that was sulking for a certain x reason.

\" Sure... \" Zhi Ruo answered, she didn't mind.

Wang Yong bent over, near her face, and tasted the ice cream, \" Thank you, it's quite good. Do you want to try mine? \"

\" No, it's fine, I don't really like chocolate. \" Zhi Ruo gently shook her head.

\" Okay. \" Wang Yong smiled and looked back to give a deadly stare to the guys who were checking Zhi Ruo out, ' She's mine you dumbasses. '

...

Not long after, Wang Yong was admitted to the hospital after being diagnosed with having the COVID-19. Three days later, he, unfortunately, passed away.

Just KIDDINNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! Don't worry I am not killing him like that! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

On a more serious note, I hope none of you got offended, it is meant to be on a light-hearted tone to clear away some of the darkness during this sad time.

With this out of the way, I would like to aboard the subject of racism towards Asian people. Nowadays, I see on the news a lot of scary incidents about stabbing and killing Asians due to the fear, judgement and ignorance that the attackers hold. This is a very sad and disgusting situation happening right now and I would like to raise awareness towards this matter.

The number of Asian violent assault cases has been on the rise and fear has been instilled in many of us so, using this message, I am asking you as a fellow human and Asian to please put your fear and anger away for a moment and let your judgement shine through. Will implanting fear and pain on people that did nothing wrong really fix the situation?

I hope that all of you understand the sadness of these circumstances and will spread awareness.

As a fellow Asian, no as a fellow human and citizen of this world, I ask you all to please spread awareness on this matter and to walk on the path of justice.

Thank you.

As for the fellow aliens out there, I am so pleased to meet you! Can I ask how you can grow wings to become a fairy?
