Foxie, I'm going to go have some fun!

The other protagonist of the incident, Yu Fuli, who mysteriously disappeared on campus, is currently staying in a spacious apartment in the Upper City.

With his left hand carrying the spicy rabbit head takeout bag and his right hand holding the still-warm kiln-roasted chicken, he deftly turned the lock with his left hand, which had been injured just a few days ago.

The movements were natural and fluid, without the slightest hesitation.

After entering the house, he placed the food on the kitchen island, pulled up a chair, sat down, and continued to enjoy his belated breakfast.

With his left hand, he unwrapped the bright red rabbit head packaging, while with his right hand, he held a tender chicken leg, and in the middle sat a glass of iced cola glistening with water droplets.

He ate slowly and deliberately, but you could tell he had a good appetite.

In the trash can next to him, the medical splint that Wen Qiaoan had used to immobilize his left hand a few days ago lay quietly.

At this moment, the hand moves freely, showing no signs of abnormality.

Just a few days ago, it was unnaturally bent, and the diagnosis indicated a clear fracture.

In just a few days, the injury has completely healed without leaving any trace.

However, this is not surprising.

Yu Fuli was ultimately just a fox that had cultivated into human form.

Even though most of his magical power was sealed, the foundation of this body was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

If even an injury like this requires one or two months to heal, then that would be considered abnormal.

He has been missing from school for the past few days precisely because of this.

It usually takes several months for an ordinary person to recover from a broken bone, but he recovered completely in just a few days, which was too eye-catching.

Rather than being noticed and suspected, or even attracting unnecessary attention, it's better to temporarily leave using the sick leave certificate issued by Wen Qiaoan.

It's called a rest and recuperation, but it's really just a change of scenery and a more comfortable way of life.

Summer vacation was just around the corner, and the academic affairs office was incredibly quick to approve leave requests.

He could also use the two-month vacation to pretend that he was recuperating.

Simply perfect!

Yu Fuli finished her breakfast with satisfaction, then casually pushed the packaging box to the side of the table, figuring the housekeeper would come and clean it up anyway.

Ah, this wicked, delightful capitalism!

He slumped into the soft sofa without any regard for his image and pulled out his phone to start scrolling.

[Host, aren't you going to do the mission?]

Seeing his completely relaxed appearance, the system couldn't help but remind him.

"Relax, relax," Yu Fuli waved her hand, her eyes still fixed on the screen, "The source of the anomaly has been found. Anyway, we'll be on holiday soon, so it's not too late to take good care of her when school starts again."

[The host has already identified the source of the anomaly? So quickly?]

The system seemed somewhat surprised.

"Of course," Yu Fuli took a sip of iced cola, the bubbles bursting gently on his tongue, and he squinted his fox-like eyes comfortably. "The crux of the timeline anomaly lies in the fact that Lin Xun, under long-term bullying, didn't want to live anymore."

[That's impossible. Lin Xun's character is portrayed as a resilient and radiant individual; how could he possibly have such negative thoughts?]

The system's electronic voice conveyed confusion and doubt.

"To say you're an AI is an understatement; you really have no humanity whatsoever." Yu Fuli sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness, yet she still patiently explained, "The indomitable little sun is just a superficial concept on paper. But that doesn't mean that when he's repeatedly trampled and abused by the malice of the entire school, he won't feel pain or break down."

He put down his cola, looked out the window, and lowered his voice: "His kindness, resilience, and even that incongruous brightness, in this distorted environment, are like a sheep that has strayed into a pack of wolves, only attracting all the bloodthirsty eyes."

"In this place where power reigns supreme, he, as someone from the lowest rungs of society, naturally became the target of everyone's malice and the object of their superiority. He wasn't a god; he was just a person... a person who felt pain and despair. It's perfectly normal that he couldn't hold on."

However, according to the established plot, he would later receive the favor and pampering of F4.

The system retorted blankly, still trying to analyze emotions using logic.

"Think carefully about how the original plot was written," Yu Fuli said with a hint of sarcasm. "He and F1's Xiao Chi were a pair of bickering lovers, initially disliking each other, but gradually discovering each other's good qualities through spending time together—sounds so easy. But what's the reality? Behind their mutual dislike was one-sided malicious bullying! Can this kind of harm be glorified as minor squabbles between classmates?"

He sat up straight, his eyes sharpening.

"What do you think Xiao Chi, that arrogant young master, would do to someone he looks down on? Even if he doesn't personally intervene, how many people would go to great lengths to teach Lin Xun a lesson just to curry favor with him? Xiao Chi himself probably doesn't even know these things, or even cares to know them. That's the shadow of power, invisible yet deadly."

Yu Fuli pointed to herself: "Let's talk about the so-called F4's favoritism. Me, a new teacher, was immediately besieged by Yun Bai's fanatical fans after class simply because I asked him a question. If I didn't have some self-defense skills, do you think I could have escaped unscathed? If even teachers are treated like this, what about a student with no background?"

"Destroying a person is never just about physical beatings. It's more about isolation, spreading rumors, mental suppression, and destroying self-esteem... These are the invisible knives that slowly torture both the mind and body day after day. Even a god would break down if treated like this. Lin Xun didn't not want to live; it's just that his environment left him no way out."

The system fell into a brief silence. It ran its reasoning according to what Yu Fuli had said, and the result was tragic. Without exception, the outcome was always death.

[...Logic reconstruction in progress. Based on the real-world behavior model provided by the host, the original sweet and romantic premise does indeed have significant logical flaws. The cumulative effect of psychological oppression and systemic exclusion has been severely underestimated.]

"Finally, you're getting a little smarter." Yu Fuli leaned back on the sofa, but her gaze was fixed on a certain direction outside the window. "So, my task has never been to facilitate any sweet romance. Rather, it's to ensure that before that so-called pampering arrives, this little lamb isn't devoured by the wolves until there's nothing left but bones."

"However, you are right about one thing," Yu Fuli leaned back on the sofa, her voice tinged with a complex emotion, "Lin Xun, that child, does indeed possess an almost naive resilience and kindness at her core. Despite being repeatedly crushed in such an environment, she didn't completely break down and turn evil. She even preferred to hurt herself rather than think about taking revenge."

He shook his head slightly and let out a very soft sigh.

"If it were me, I absolutely could not do that... Saint."

"So," Yu Fuli gently placed the cola can on the table, making a soft clinking sound, her gaze gradually darkening as if she had made a decision, "from now on, I will protect this child."

He gazed into the void, as if he could see the figure of that boy curled up alone amidst malice.

"At the very least, he should be able to grow up in peace and have the opportunity to pursue what he truly wants to do, instead of being trapped in this murky water."

After Yu Fuli finished speaking, she stood up. The serious look in her eyes just now disappeared, and the corners of her lips curled up into a lively arc with a hint of fox-like cunning.

"Of course—" he drawled, his eyes sparkling with bright, joyful light, "Before that… I'm going to have a good time during my two-month vacation~"
