Chapter 5 — I'm Already Excellent

At this moment, a gentle voice rang out next to him:

“Le Le.”

I turned around. Jiang Ze was still standing there, looking at me with complicated eyes. No longer teasing, no longer calm and confident like before. It's a kind of look... Deep, shocking, and a bit like being in love. He lowered his voice and said:

“I really… like you more and more.”

Me: “……” The comments were completely heated: 【DONE, THE MALE LEAD IS SO LOVED TO DEATH!】 【It's not about saving the hero, it's about studying the gods to kill all the villains, then conquering the male lead?!】 【This is not the male protagonist, this is the female protagonist!!!】 I didn't respond, just shrugged. Then I bent down and softly said to my mother:

“Mom, shall we eat dumplings tonight?”

Mom was stunned for a second, then burst out laughing.

“Okay.”

Jiang Ze stood there, staring at me. After a long while, he laughed and softly repeated:

“Yes, eat dumplings.”

I reported it to the police a long time ago. This is a society with laws. Only a fool wouldn't call the police. Before entering this alley, I sent a text message to the 110 switchboard. Everything I did—from kicking in the door, taking out a knife, threatening them—was all just to buy time. I don't need to actually take action. This group of scum is not worth leaving me with a record of intentionally causing injury just because of them. Now— Charges of illegal entry, destruction of property, plus blackmail threats... That alone is enough to send them away for a few years. Comments continued to go crazy: 【Damn! The female lead hasn't done this yet, how can the female supporting character be this cool???】 【I feel like there's something wrong with this series... Where's the male lead? The male lead has no use at all!】 【That's right, the male lead is useless, I suggest studying the god to become the female lead, dominating this whole series!】 【Enter the god school, learn the god god god god god!】 【Crazy, crazy! She's so strong that she can swallow the male lead alive, how can she just be the supporting female?】 【Don't tell me the supporting female will fall for the male main character... Just now she could even eat those men, the male main character is the weakest of them all!】 【I don't care anymore! The divine scholar is the main character!】 I don't care what the comments are saying. I just gently guided my mother into the house, helped her sit on a chair, then poured her a glass of water.

“Drink some water, mom.”

My mother took it, her hands were still shaking a bit, but when she looked at me, she still smiled gently:

"Nhu Nhu, you're so good..."

I slightly raised my lips, but before I could answer— A low voice rang out from the door:

“That's right.”

I turned around. Jiang Ze is still standing there. Looking at me, his eyes were so complicated that I couldn't read them. He looked at me for a long time, then slowly took a step forward, his voice as light as a breeze:

“Le Le, do you know?”

I raised my eyebrows.

“All this time, I always thought I liked you.”

“But now…”

He paused for a moment, then bowed his head and laughed.

“Looks like I'm not just a 'like' anymore.”

Comments exploded: 【DONE, COMPLETELY DONE! THE MALE LEAD IS COMPLETELY LAZY!】 【It's not that the male main character dumped the female supporting character, but that the female supporting character was crushed to the point of insanity!】 【I knew it right away! The type of person who studies a god can only marry and raise a husband, but has no chance of being pursued by others!】 【The male lead now just a loyal puppy, do you believe it?】 I looked at him for a long time. Then, I burst out laughing.

“Okay, boyfriend.”

I slowly opened my mouth, my tone light but with a teasing smile.

“Do you want to eat dumplings with me?”

Jiang Ze's eyes were bright, without any hesitation:

“Want!”

The police escorted the thugs away. At that moment, Jiang Ze hurriedly ran over, followed by a group of brothers holding sticks in their hands, looking extremely powerful. But they arrived too late. The entire alley was now cleared of troublemakers, leaving only ruins and me sitting next to my mother. He immediately rushed over and hugged me.

“Le Le, are you okay?!”

I pushed him away angrily:

"If something happened to me, would I still be standing here?"

“Get out of the way, don't block my way.”

Having said that, I knelt down next to my mother, checking on her condition. She was still shaking, her lips moved but she couldn't speak clearly. All I can do is call my name intermittently:

“Like… Like Nhu, don't be afraid… don't be afraid…”

Clearly the one who needs comfort is her. Yet even at this moment, she still worried about me more than herself. Like a habit ingrained in the blood. I bit my lip, quickly took out my phone, intending to call an ambulance.

“Mom, wait a minute, the doctor will be here soon…”

But at that moment— A hand gently placed itself on my shoulder. I turned around—it was Jiang Ze. He had just been pushed aside by me, but still boldly inched closer. But this time, there was no trace of teasing left on his face. It's an unprecedented seriousness. He looked at me, his voice decisive:

"My brothers drove a sports car here. I'll take my aunt to the nearest hospital, it'll be faster than calling an ambulance."

Comments exploded: 【The male lead finally has a place to use martial arts!】 【Okay, at least this time he can help! Saving my mother to study god is more important than anything!】 【This is the first time I've seen Jiang Ze not joking around. This time is really very manly.】 【I accept! This is how the male lead plays his role!】 I was stunned for a moment. After that, I quickly tightened my grip on the phone, turned and nodded.

“Go!”

Jiang Ze didn't say anything more, just immediately signaled his brothers to run out first. A black supercar was parked in front of the alley. He picked my mother up, quickly opened the back seat door and gently placed her in. I also climbed up. As soon as the car door closed— The car sped away, heading straight for the hospital. I knew my mother couldn't wait long, so I just nodded. But before he could reach out, Jiang Ze quickly bent down and picked my mother up. Without hesitation, he ran like crazy out of the alley, followed by a group of brothers who frantically ran after him. Finally, we arrived at the hospital. A journey takes at least thirty minutes, but Jiang Ze only needed fifteen minutes to rush there. Maybe thanks to his family background, as soon as my mother entered the hospital, she was immediately assigned to the best VIP room. From the beginning until now, Jiang Ze has never left my side. He ran everywhere, taking care of hospital admission procedures, calling the doctor, getting water... I wanted to chase him away, telling him I could handle it alone. But before he could open his mouth, he patted his chest proudly:

“Isn't this what a devoted boyfriend should do?”

“Le Le, don't stop me! I have to Be the best boyfriend in the world!”

Me: “……” Comment: 【Hahahahaha! Jiang Ze, what's wrong with you?! You're not just a hunting dog of a school god, do you also have the will to strive?】 【This is crazy, who has such fighting spirit in being a boyfriend?!】 【This is not the male lead trying to save the female lead, but the male lead trying to strive to serve the female lead!】 I had to stay silent. For some reason, I was stunned by his stubbornness. Until... I sat next to my mother's bed and turned to look. Next door— Jiang Ze was so tired that he collapsed on the chair and dozed off. His eyelids were half closed and half open, his head kept nodding, clearly exhausted. A very strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart. Maybe… a little guilty? For the first time, I felt sorry for him. Right at that moment. Jiang Ze dreamily opened his eyes. And so— Our eyes met. Jiang Ze blinked, the corners of his lips carrying a flattering smile:

“Le Le, I didn't do bad today, right?”

I just calmed down, remembering the scene just now... An unknown anger rose again. Directly crushed the previous feeling of guilt.

“Not bad for your head!”

“Pop—!”

My hand reflexively swung out again. Comments immediately exploded: 【What is the reward?! This is more of a lesson!】 【Hahahaha, every time he shows the look of wanting to be praised, the student will wake him up!】 【I'm dying of laughter! Where is your "hero saving the beauty", he was beaten to pieces by the beauty herself!】 I angrily grabbed Jiang Ze's ear, pulled it down hard, forcing him to look straight at me.

“You think you did well today?!”

“Leading a group of juniors, holding weapons, what are you planning to do?!”

“Do you want to risk your life to fight? Do you know that schools forbid fighting off campus?!”
