After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 271: Shy

Caught off guard by someone calling his name, Zhang Can instinctively turned his head and saw that the one speaking was that beautiful woman.

He looked stunned. “You are…?”

The woman raised an eyebrow, the smile at the corner of her lips growing more playful.

“What? You don’t recognize me?”

“?” Should he?

Zhang Can could tell she was an NPC, so he started searching this body’s memories in his mind.

But before he could come up with anything, the woman spoke leisurely: “Weren’t you the one who told Bo Jingmo that you knew me?”

Zhang Can: “……”

Sh*t, this is nuts.

His expression turned strange, and he asked in disbelief, trying to confirm, “You’re… Yu Li?”

The woman’s eyes curved as she answered, “Yeah.”

“……”

Bo Jingmo, I actually found Yu Li for you.

But then Zhang Can quickly realized—wait, no. This woman wasn’t there when he talked to Bo Jingmo. How did she know?

Before he could voice his confusion, Yu Li suddenly said:

“Is Bo Jingmo at your place?”

Zhang Can: ?

He hesitated. “...Yeah.”

Yu Li nodded. “Perfect. Take me to see him then.”

“...Huh?”

Maybe sensing Zhang Can’s confusion, Yu Li glanced over at him, her brow slightly raised. “Didn’t you promise him? I even came to find you myself, and now you don’t want me to see him?”

“That’s not what I meant...”

Zhang Can choked on his words, his voice faltering. “The main thing is… who exactly are you to Bo Jingmo?”

“Ding-dong—”

The elevator reached the first floor.

The woman waved the car keys in her hand at him, smiling brightly.

“Didn’t Xin Hao tell you? I’m Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend. Can we go now? We’ll take my car.”

Zhang Can: “...?”

Boss, how could you not tell me something this important!? Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend is an NPC!

…Wait a sec.

Zhang Can’s face suddenly stiffened.

Why would an NPC know things about the players!?

…

“Click—” The door lock opened.

Zhang Can stood at the doorway, still uneasy as he turned to glance back.

“Are you really Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend? He doesn’t seem to… remember you.”

“I know.” The woman leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, nodding. “He lost his memory.”

“……”

You sure know a lot, huh.

Zhang Can fully opened the door. “No need to take off your shoes, just come on in.”

He turned on the light, feeling oddly excited inside.

Partly because he actually found Yu Li (even if she called out to him first), and partly because he really wanted to know what was going on between her and Bo Jingmo.

But seeing the empty apartment, he awkwardly turned his head. “Uh, Bo Jingmo is here, but he doesn’t really talk to me. He usually just disappears. How about… we play a summoning game to call him out?”

“...No need.”

Yu Li walked right in. As she casually tied up her hair, her eyes swept around the room. When her gaze landed on a certain spot, the corners of her lips curved.

Oh? He’s actually feeling shy.

Pretending not to notice anything unusual, Yu Li sat down on the couch like she owned the place, then looked at Zhang Can and beckoned him over. “Come sit with me.”

“Huh?”

Isn’t he the actual owner of this place...?

Zhang Can stood by the door, a bit lost. “Wait... I’ll go get you a glass of water from the kitchen.”

Mostly because his brain was a mess, and he needed a moment alone.

As Zhang Can walked into the kitchen, Yu Li glanced around the apartment again.

When her eyes landed on a certain corner, they flickered. Suddenly, she called out, “Bo Jingmo.”

The air around her froze for a moment.

A second later, the living room was still silent.

The woman blinked and chuckled silently to herself. When she saw the oranges neatly placed on the table, she casually picked one up and played with it.

She looked at the small knife on the table, her gaze thoughtful, and mumbled, “What a hassle. Forget it.”

Then she put the orange back.

Zhang Can came out of the kitchen just in time to see this. He placed the glass of water in front of Yu Li and asked reflexively, “Want me to cut one for you?”

As soon as he said that, the temperature in the room dropped several degrees.

Zhang Can’s spine stiffened, and goosebumps rose all over his back.

He had a feeling and looked around—only to see a familiar figure reflected in the glass on the balcony.

A man stood in the corner of the living room, staring at him with a dangerously cold look. His pitch-black eyes glowed faintly red.

“……”

Okay, that definitely confirms who this woman is.

Yu Li leaned back on the couch and shook her head at his offer. “No need. I’ll treat you to dinner afterward.”

Zhang Can: “Haha... sure.”

Maybe it was just his imagination, but it felt even colder now.

Yu Li’s gaze landed on the cluttered table, where the items from their Pen Fairy game still lay.

“These are what you used for the Pen Fairy last night?”

Zhang Can followed her gaze. “Yeah, we played too late and didn’t have time to clean up.”

The woman said naturally, “Wanna play a round?”

“Sure—huh? Now? Play a round?”

Halfway through his sentence, Zhang Can realized something felt off. Weren’t they talking about something else? Why were they suddenly playing the Pen Fairy again??

Yu Li didn’t seem to think anything was strange. She nodded. “Yeah, let’s play a round. Since Bo Jingmo won’t come out, like you said, let’s summon him.”

That did sound kind of reasonable. Zhang Can was about to agree—

But the next second, the pencil on the table snapped in two, and the standing candle suddenly went out and toppled over.

Zhang Can: “……”

Looks like someone—no, some ghost—is pissed.

He instinctively looked at Yu Li, who just raised an eyebrow and lazily leaned back in her seat. “Forget it. Let’s not summon him. Seems like he doesn’t want to see me. That’s fine. I won’t force it. I’ll leave once we’re done talking.”

Right after she said that, a crashing sound came from the kitchen.

“Crash—” A sharp noise echoed through the living room.

Zhang Can immediately got up. “Sorry, I’ll go check it out.”

As soon as he disappeared from view again, Yu Li slumped on the couch, bored, spinning the ring on her finger.

Then suddenly, the small knife on the table began to move on its own. It floated eerily in the air and precisely sliced open the orange—like it was being held by an invisible person.

“……”

Yu Li’s expression didn’t waver. She didn’t seem scared by the sight at all.

When the orange was pushed bit by bit in front of her, she finally said coolly:

“Keep it away. I’m not eating anything you cut.”
