Villain: I Can See Destiny

105: Chapter 105 Dream 2After awakening his memories, Jiang Hao, in order to avoid his parents discovering the difference between him and the original body, used the excuse of having issues with his ability advancement and needing to clear his mind to leave home for a few years.

The main reason was fear that the original body’s father would spot something amiss; after all, this world was filled with supernatural phenomena! The original body’s father, Jiang Beiran, was a leader of ability users and the strongest in the supernatural Domain!

After leaving home, Jiang Hao traveled all over the safe zone, wanting to see what the world was like a thousand years later.

Half a year ago, while traveling to Hangzhou, Jiang Hao met Lin Yiyi, fell in love at first sight, and began to pursue her.

But Lin Yiyi just thought he was a bit inexplicable and rejected him without a second thought.

After his confession was rejected, Jiang Hao didn’t give up and followed her to this elite university called Nanhang.

Thinking of Teacher Lin, the corners of Jiang Hao’s mouth couldn’t help but curve upward slightly. He propped his chin with one hand, his head turning involuntarily to look out the window again, thinking to himself, ”The sunlight is so warm today; it’s another beautiful day.”

What Jiang Hao didn’t know was that while he was watching the scenery, the person watching the scenery was watching him.

Bai Song, who was peeking at Jiang Hao, looked at his handsome profile in the sunlight and became entranced, subconsciously saying, ”He’s so good-looking~”

Hearing the female voice beside him, Jiang Hao turned his head and looked at Bai Song with a half-smile.

Realizing what had happened, Bai Song immediately lowered her head, her little face turning bright red in an instant.

”Am I good-looking?” Jiang Hao asked, seeing her like this, unable to help but want to tease her.

”...”

After a long while, a voice as soft as a mosquito’s hum came from the girl’s side, ”Yes... you are.”

Jiang Hao was stunned. It was meant to be a joke, but he hadn’t expected a real reply. He couldn’t help but re-examine the girl; he might need to take a fresh look at his desk mate.

Seeing Jiang Hao staring straight at her, Bai Song became even more embarrassed, but finally, with a flushed face, she gathered her courage and asked, ”Jiang Hao, can you let me keep looking at you from now on?”

Hearing the girl’s words, which sounded like a confession, it was Jiang Hao’s turn to be embarrassed. His face flushed slightly, and he asked guiltily, ”What do you like about me?”

”That you’re good-looking?”

”...”

”Are you that shallow?”

”I’m not shallow at all! It’s just that... the person I like happens to be good-looking. It’s not like I’ve never seen a handsome guy before!” Bai Song pouted, looking slightly aggrieved.

Jiang Hao felt that what Bai Song said actually made a lot of sense. Wasn’t he in the exact same situation? He fell in love with Lin Yiyi at first sight, not out of lust, but because the person he liked just happened to look like that.

He hadn’t expected Bai Song’s view on love to coincide with his own. Jiang Hao suddenly felt that although her clothes were a bit dowdy, her shoulder-length bob paired with her chubby cheeks was actually quite cute.

At this moment, Jiang Hao’s feelings were indescribable; he couldn’t wait to go to Lin Yiyi and pour out his emotions.

He said to Bai Song with genuine sincerity, ”Country bumpkin, thank you.”

”Country bumpkin? Is he talking about me? And thanking me? Thanking me for what? For liking him? Have I been rejected?” Thinking of this, Bai Song’s eyes grew moist, and she wanted Jiang Hao to explain himself clearly.

Just then, Jiang Hao suddenly stood up and said, ”Teacher Wang, I need to use the restroom.”

Teacher Wang, who was reading from the book with head bowed, looked up and saw it was Jiang Hao, immediately wanting to scold him. But he hadn’t expected Jiang Hao to have already walked off on his own. Seeing him act like this, Teacher Wang was instantly furious.

Bai Song thought Jiang Hao was trying to avoid her, and her heart ached.

”This is a rejection, right? How could he do this... after I finally mustered up the courage...”

Tears began to well up in Bai Song’s eyes. She opened her eyes wide, struggling to keep them from falling.

Leaving the classroom, Jiang Hao headed straight for Lin Yiyi’s office.

Arriving at the office door, Jiang Hao took two deep breaths.

”Knock, knock-knock.”

After waiting for a while, there was no reply from inside. It seemed Lin Yiyi wasn’t in the office, and Jiang Hao felt a bit dejected.

He didn’t return to the classroom, planning to skip class. It was Teacher Wang’s class anyway; going just meant sleeping. His class was like a hypnotic session to Jiang Hao, and if he didn’t want to sleep, he could only zone out.

It was the last period anyway; he had just taken a longer time to use the restroom.

Outside the school, Jiang Hao walked aimlessly and, without realizing it, arrived at the edge of Daming Lake near the school.

Looking at the willow trees by the lake, the schools of fish in the water, the couples on the opposite side, and his own lonely reflection in the water, a wave of sorrow suddenly washed over him as he thought of his past life.

In his past life, he was alive, which didn’t mean he had achieved nothing, but he definitely hadn’t amounted to much. If anyone asked him what his ideal was, he would certainly say, ”None for now. To live this life without trouble, with everything going smoothly—how great is that!”

But all of this was built on the foundation of having Xiao Yi. A world without her was devoid of color.

However, this wasn’t his past life anymore. Xiao Yi wasn’t here; his beloved was gone, and there was a thousand-year gap between them.

Jiang Hao stood by the lake and whispered to himself, ”Xiao Yi, a thousand years later, I’ve met someone who looks just like you. She... must be your Reincarnation... In this life, I will be the one to pursue you.”

”Xiao Yi, you are really hard to pursue. In our past life, you pursued me, and I agreed immediately.”

Thinking about how he was rejected every time he confessed, Jiang Hao felt a bit discouraged. Let alone moving their relationship forward, Lin Yiyi now looked at him like he was a plague god.

In this life, he had everything he could wish for; he was someone who stood at the peak from birth. Even if he didn’t hold the power to rule the world or sleep on the knees of beauties, surely he could at least pursue the woman he liked? Thinking of his current status and ability, Jiang Hao regained his confidence. Among the younger generation, he had the best background and the strongest power—who could compete with him!

”...” Well, he might not necessarily be the strongest anymore. In this world where the supernatural was emerging, the average lifespan was around two hundred years, and anyone under fifty was considered the younger generation. The original body might have been fine, but among his peers, he was probably at the bottom.

The sky was slightly dim, and the sun had already half-set.

Returning home, perhaps because he had been too emotionally drained today, Jiang Hao felt exceptionally sleepy.

He lay on his side on the bed and soon drifted off to sleep.

He dreamed of the past.

In his dream, he returned to a thousand years ago, back to when he had just started university. That day, he met Lin Yi. They met for the first time at the school gate. That day, Lin Yi was like a gentleman, speaking to him generously and saying she wanted to make friends with him, while he was like a girl, shy and hesitant.

The scenes in the dream began to change rapidly.

In his sophomore year, she confessed to him. She said she had taken a liking to him on the first day of school and had fallen in love with him at first sight. That year, they officially got together.

In his senior year, she followed her family’s advice and continued with graduate studies, while he stepped into society and began a laid-back life. After all, he had no parents, and he would just do some part-time jobs, earning enough living expenses to support himself.

After that, he spent most of his time hiding at home, watching anime and reading novels, and he also took the initiative to cut off contact with her. He was no longer worthy of her.
