After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 68: Someone Wants to Play the CEO Romance Game Even More Than She Does

It was like the girl hadn’t heard anything they were just discussing. She curved her eyes into a smile and said,

“Boss? Did I pass today?”

Cen Xiu was caught off guard for a second. His gaze instinctively flicked toward Bo Jingmo.

The man didn’t say anything, so Cen Xiu hesitated before responding:

“P… passed.”

Her wine-opening technique was clearly skilled—honestly, even elegant to watch.

He had to admit, even if this had been a normal interview, he would’ve given her full marks. And now she knew Bo Jingmo? He had no clue what that guy was thinking.

But no objection… probably meant approval, right?

Bo Jingmo’s thoughts were unreadable, but Yu Li lit up at Cen Xiu’s words and said happily,

“Great! Thank you. I’ll talk to the supervisor later about my schedule, then.”

Cen Xiu, of course, had no objections. But a certain someone standing next to him? Not looking too pleased.

“You still planning to work tonight?”

After Cen Xiu and Qi Mai left, Bo Jingmo finally couldn’t help but ask. His voice carried a hint of frustration even he hadn’t noticed, staring at the girl’s bright, smiling face.

“Hmm?”

Yu Li blinked at him. She picked up the red wine bottle on the table and looked up innocently.

“Yeah, of course. Otherwise, how am I supposed to afford going back to school?”

That made Bo Jingmo frown. But he didn’t know what to say, fingers in his pocket clenching and loosening repeatedly.

In the end, he leaned against the door, trying to sound casual:

“It’s not really safe for students to work in a bar.”

Yu Li stepped up to the door and stared at him.

“Senior, is that something the Student Council President should be concerned about?”

“……”

Bo Jingmo averted his gaze. After a few seconds, he gave a soft:

“Yeah.”

Yu Li nearly laughed out loud. She forced her smile down and instead gave him a bright, polite smile.

“No worries, Senior. I’m an adult now. I can handle myself.”

With that, she took the wine bottle and turned to leave. Bo Jingmo instinctively moved to stop her, but logic held him back.

They were just schoolmates at best—he had no right to interfere with her choices.

But the thought of her walking into other private rooms, pouring drinks for strangers like she did for him—his frown deepened, and an unbearable irritation twisted in his chest like a taut string, threatening to snap at any second.

He leaned against the doorframe, eyes lowered, expression lazy and indifferent. But inside, his mind was working overtime trying to figure out a reasonable way to get her out of here.

Ask Cen Xiu to fire her?

No good. She’d definitely know it was him.

His fingers tapped against the wall in a slow rhythm. Then suddenly, the tapping stopped, and a dark glint flashed through his eyes.

Got it.

Elsewhere, the System had no idea why Yu Li had suddenly walked away. It glanced upstairs at Bo Jingmo and asked in confusion,

“Sis, weren’t you trying to get close to Bo Jingmo? That was the perfect moment. Why’d you leave?”

Yu Li placed the tray on the table. The sweet, obedient smile on her face faded bit by bit, replaced by a laid-back calmness.

She placed the glasses into the sink one by one and turned on the faucet. Water gushed out as she raised an eyebrow at the System’s question.

“I’m not trying to get close to Bo Jingmo. I’m giving him the chance to get to know me.”

Back during their first encounter, she had deliberately leaked a bit of her aura in hopes that regaining her memory would move faster. That man had already shown interest and suspicion toward her. If she pushed too hard now, it’d only expose the traits she had in the instance.

That damn man could be annoyingly perceptive sometimes. If he caught on, it’d ruin the fun.

After changing into her server uniform in the locker room, she walked out and casually scanned the area. No sign of Bo Jingmo.

But… she could feel someone’s eyes on her. Watching her closely.

Yu Li pretended not to notice. Her expression stayed the same as she picked up a glass of water and placed it on the tray.

Just as she was about to carry it to one of the private rooms, a man reeking of alcohol stumbled into the hallway. His steps were unsteady, face flushed, and he burped loudly, eyes glassy and unfocused—completely hammered.

Yu Li pressed herself against the wall, holding the tray steady in her hands. But then she heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her.

She was just about to turn her head when someone bumped her from behind. The tray flew from her hands and hit the ground, glass shattering with a crisp crash.

Yu Li staggered a step forward. Then came an angry roar from the man in front of her.

“What the h*ll kind of service is this?!”

She looked up and saw his shirt soaked with water.

Whoever had crashed into her was already long gone.

The drunk man’s emotions escalated quickly. He grabbed his shirt and yelled,

“This is how your bar trains staff?! Who hired someone like you?! Get your manager out here!”

Yu Li: “……”

She couldn’t help curling her lips slightly, pressing her tongue to the inside of her cheek.

Wow. Looks like someone wants to play the CEO romance game even harder than she does.

Since Bo Jingmo was playing the gentle, caring Senior,

She didn’t mind playing the fragile little white flower Junior.

Shards of glass sparkled on the floor, their jagged edges gleaming under the white light. The blurry reflections of the two figures shimmered faintly in the broken pieces.

The brand-new waitress, on her very first day, was being harassed by a customer. Her face was pale with fright.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she mumbled in a trembling voice:

“I’m sorry… sir. I’ll cover all the damages. Please don’t tell my manager, this is my first day.”

The man looked annoyed.

“Like I care what day it is! Can you even afford this shirt?! This is—”

But as soon as he got a clear look at her delicate, stunning face, his drunken haze vanished with a snap. His eyes lit up with something wicked.

He stepped closer, smirking lecherously.

“Ohhh, your first day, huh? Of course I won’t tell your manager. Not if you apologize to me properly, how about that?”

Her eyes were flushed pink, her gorgeous fox-like eyes shimmering with unshed tears—an image of fragile beauty.

Yu Li’s pupils trembled as she bit her lip and backed away, eyes full of fear.

“I already apologized…”

Tch. So annoying.

She glanced at the hand reaching toward her, her eyes cold and indifferent.

But on the surface, her expression remained tearful. She backed away with wide, frightened eyes, voice trembling:

“If you keep this up… I’ll call the police…”

The little beauty’s fear only fueled the man’s filthy desire. He narrowed his eyes, and his breath reeked of sour alcohol.

“What’s with the nerves? I just want a proper apology. You got my shirt all wet—saying sorry is the least you could do. Maybe the hallway’s not the right place. Why don’t you come into my room and try again?”

His hand reached closer, and Yu Li’s body visibly shook. Tears rolled silently down her cheeks, gliding over her smooth skin.

It was midday, and most of the servers had gone for their shift change. Even if she wanted to call for help, there was no one around.

She cried like a delicate blossom in the rain, voice soft and desperate.

“Please… don’t do this…”

To the man, it was just more meaningless resistance. He licked his dry lips, his vile intent practically oozing from his eyes.

Just as his hand was about to grab her wrist, Yu Li’s pupils shrank. She scrambled backward—

And suddenly, she felt a warm chest press up behind her.

A coat was gently draped over her head, plunging her into darkness.

She was enveloped in a cold pine scent. A strong yet gentle arm wrapped around her waist from behind. His voice came low and firm, filled with safety and warmth:

“Don’t be afraid.”

Yu Li’s body trembled uncontrollably, looking like she’d been frightened out of her mind.

But beneath the coat, her expression was completely calm. She lazily lifted a hand to wipe away her fake tears, the corners of her mouth curling upward in a slow, knowing smirk.

Finally showing yourself, huh, you d*mn dog.
