After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain

After being unbound from the system, Rong Fan's mental state was clearly unstable.

But that was understandable. For so many years, all he had wanted was to become the strongest player. Just when he thought he'd secured a lifetime of wealth and comfort, everything vanished in the blink of an eye.

Not dying from anger was already fortunate.

Hearing the alarm sound, a large number of doctors rushed in and quickly administered sedatives to Rong Fan.

Yu Li stood in the corner, locking eyes with Rong Fan on the bed.

The man's expression shifted from anger to immense sorrow, and finally settled into utter despair.

He seemed to have completely accepted his fate, tears continuously streaming from the corners of his eyes as choked sobs escaped his throat, filled with grief and helplessness.

"No..."

The man trembled as he murmured, "I don't want this..."

But should it really not have been?

When he first lied, Rong Fan had already prepared himself for the possibility of being discovered and for Limu's punishment.

It's just that this punishment arrived over a decade late.

So late that he nearly believed he could escape unscathed.

Bo Jingmo entered from outside. Without glancing at Rong Fan on the bed, he softly said to Yu Li, "Lili, are you hungry? I've reserved a restaurant."

They had come here after morning classes, and it was nearly lunchtime.

Yu Li nodded: "Alright."

Bo Jingmo took her slightly cold fingertips and gently tightened his grip.

Just as they were about to leave, Rong Fan's hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Limu... whether you believe it or not, I truly liked you once."

The two hundred yuan on the street and that casual concern were memories that often haunted him upon waking.

But that bit of affection seemed insignificant when faced with greed for power and authority.

Yu Li paused her steps, tilting her head slightly without changing her tone:

"Rong Fan, you've called the wrong person."

"My name has always been Yu Li."

Rong Fan's pupils contracted slightly on the hospital bed.

After who knows how long, he let out a low chuckle.

"Yu Li... so you were Yu Li after all."

As the sedatives took effect, Rong Fan slowly closed his eyes and murmured: "No wonder..."

No wonder you left, no wonder you were so indifferent to everything back then.

Because from the very beginning, you never cared about anything here.

What a cold person you are... Yu Li.

Rong Fan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Back then, he actually thought she was someone easily moved by emotions.

Now it seemed that wasn't compassion, but utter indifference.

...

Just as Bo Jingmo had anticipated, Rong Fan's disappearance didn't cause much of a stir.

Or perhaps Deva was already struggling to keep itself afloat.

With their funding chain severed and upper management vanished, the team members gradually descended into panic.

In their eyes, Rong Fan must have known about this in advance and jumped ship to another team.

In no time, Deva became complete chaos.

Even Yu Jiao, vacationing abroad, heard about it and specially called to ask what had happened.

Yu Li didn't hide anything, telling her about Rong Fan's situation.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiao fell silent.

She held her phone without speaking for a long time.

Finally, she sighed.

"Everyone has their own fate."

No one could predict what would happen next.

But then she asked: "What about Bai Shaodong?"

With such a major incident, Bai Shaodong showed no reaction at all.

Yu Li tapped her fingers lightly on the desk as she held the phone.

"According to Bo Jingmo, he seems to have gone abroad."

On the same day they visited Rong Fan, Bai Shaodong boarded a plane overseas, looking rather like a defeated fugitive.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yu Jiao and hanging up, her phone rang again shortly after.

This time, it was Xin Hao calling.

After that night's conversation, Yu Li had forgotten to reply to Xin Hao's messages.

Seeing his name now, she hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

Surprisingly, Xin Hao was silent too.

Yu Li could even hear Qi Cheng'an's voice in the background.

"Just ask her already! She might hang up if you take too long."

"..."

She chuckled and took the initiative: "What did you want to ask? About that night?"

Silence fell on the other end before Xin Hao's hesitant voice came through: "Uh, Yu Li, what did you mean that night? About you being the one who saved Rong Fan?"

Yu Li leaned back in her chair, twirling a pen in her hand. "Exactly what I said, Uncle Xin."

Uncle Xin: "..."

His worldview was crumbling.

Compared to Rong Fan and Yu Jiao's shock, Xin Hao and Qi Cheng'an were unexpectedly... calm.

"So you're really Limu?" he muttered. "Damn, I knew it. Limu couldn't possibly have a sister."

Qi Cheng'an even sounded somewhat regretful: "I was planning to compare you two when Limu came back and marvel at the resemblance. Guess that's not happening now."

Yu Li: "..."

Amused, she pinched the bridge of her nose: "My apologies then."

Xin Hao sighed, "Don't mind him. But you're really different from before."

Yu Li raised an eyebrow: "Want to see how I was before?"

Qi Cheng'an's astonished voice came through: "You can change back? That's insane! I want to see!"

Yu Li only smiled: "There'll be chances. Speaking of which, Team X must have gotten many new members recently?"

At this, Xin Hao massaged his temples with a headache.

"Don't even mention it. This is the first time I've felt the downside of having too many team members."

Yu Li arched a brow: "Oh?"

Qi Cheng'an's gleeful voice chimed in: "He's been getting hundreds of applications daily lately. Can't even keep up with reading them."

And the application process was tedious, leaving him with almost no free time. Otherwise, he would have called Yu Li about that night's events much sooner.

Yu Li had Bo Jingmo inform Xin Hao about Deva's situation in advance so he could prepare.

But clearly, his preparations fell short.

For Yu Li, this influx of players joining X was beneficial.

She closed her eyes and smiled faintly.

"Xin Hao, Qi Cheng'an, I'd like to discuss something with you as Limu. Would that be alright?"

Hearing her serious tone, Xin Hao and Qi Cheng'an paused, exchanging glances.

"What is it?"
