Chapter 6

"Got it," Zac responded when I was completely confused. He bent over and moved closer to me.

I instinctively wanted to step back, but he pressed on my shoulders to stop me. I froze completely, watching as he got closer and closer to me. I involuntarily held my breath, my heart beating faster than a rabbit's.

Zac stopped just a few inches from my nose, his bottomless eyes staring at me. A slight smile appeared on his lips. "I'll do as you say."

I held my breath tightly, my face turning red. Just as I was about to suffocate myself, I came to my senses and pushed him away forcefully. "Can't you just talk without getting so close?"

I pushed him away with all my strength, and Zac even stepped back a half step. However, he did not get angry; he just looked at me with a half-smile. His mood score did not drop. Instead, it rose again from 80 to 85.

There was no out-of-character warning in my mind. How strange! Fortunately, Zac listened to me and changed his university major from medicine to the finance program at my school.

Now, another problem arose.

Since the semester started, Zac had been following me around all the time, doing absolutely nothing but tagging along, calling it being my servant.

This could not go on. In the original story, he met Hannah when he was alone. With him always following me, how was he supposed to bump into Hannah and kickstart the plot?

I remembered Hannah worked part-time at a 24-hour convenience store off-campus. Thus, to create an opportunity for Zac and Hannah to meet, I deliberately ordered Zac to run errands at the convenience store, giving them a chance to meet.

My efforts paid off. After having Zac run errands for me for over ten days, I finally saw a beautiful girl with Zac. Just looking at her extraordinary looks and demeanor, I knew she was the female protagonist, Hannah.

"Who's this?" I pretended not to know anything.

"Hello, Nova. My name is Hannah Slate, and I'm Zac's classmate."

Just like in the original story, Hannah was a cheerful girl, as bright as a sunflower. I could not help feeling a little jealous. Hannah really had it good. What a likeable character setting!

Meanwhile, I had to humbly maintain the villainous supporting character... It was truly a bitter pill to swallow.

Now that Zac and Hannah had met, it was time for me to start playing out the original plot—display the strong possessiveness of the female supporting character toward the male protagonist.

I replied with an expressionless, "Oh", walked over to Zac, took his hand, and silently declared my ownership of him.

According to the original plot, Hannah would be surprised and then disappointed, while Zac would show disgust, pull his hand away, keep his distance from me, and leave with Hannah.

Hannah was indeed surprised, but she did not show disappointment. Instead, she gave a gossipy smile.

What was with that look? Zac was her male protagonist?! I was stunned at the development. Then I turned to look at Zac, whose hand I was holding, only to meet his half-smiling gaze.

My face flushed red, and I instinctively tried to pull my hand away, but Zac grabbed it tightly.

"I'll leave you two alone." Hannah winked at me and tactfully left.

I was completely dumbfounded. Zac acting strangely was one thing, but what was wrong with Hannah? Why was she not following the original plot?

After Hannah left, I forcefully pulled my hand away from Zac's. "Zac, what's wrong with you?!"
