Survival Guide for the Charming Villain

However, Lu Feng only glanced casually through the dusty glass, and it wasn’t even clear if he actually saw anything.
Vaguely, it seemed like he frowned and turned his face away.
There were some differences from the original game model. In this real-life game, Lu Feng appeared even more handsome and aloof.
The perfect modeling was his predecessor. His profile was so beautiful it was almost stunning. Judging by his height against the glass, he was nearly 1.9 meters tall—tall and slender. Even the school uniform looked elegant and noble on him.
He wasn’t easy to approach.
It was hard to connect him with the soft little ball of a child from before. The only similarity was that he was good-looking.
Both as a child and now, he was strikingly handsome.
"Lu Feng!"
Yu Mingzun hadn’t expected Xi Rong to suddenly shout so loudly. Just moments ago, he had been whimpering softly like a kitten, completely drained of energy, needing to be held and carried to move.
Now that Lu Feng was here.
It was as if Xi Rong had suddenly found someone to rely on, unleashing an unprecedented cry for help.
Yu Mingzun was annoyed. His previously improved attitude turned hostile again.
"Do you think he can save you? Don’t forget how you bullied your brother. If you have this much energy, maybe you should..."
Yu Mingzun’s fingers lightly pinched Xi Rong’s chin, feeling the delicate skin, the warm body temperature, and the slight tremble. Even Yu Mingzun felt goosebumps rise all over. He leaned in closer, whispering, "Maybe you should think about how to please me instead..."
[Run.]
Xi Rong didn’t know what Alpha did, but he felt some strength return to his body.
Perhaps it was the system’s cold, decisive tone, like a command that had to be obeyed. Xi Rong suddenly burst with surprising strength, pushed Yu Mingzun away, and ran toward the door.
To lure Lu Feng over and make him see Xi Rong being bullied, the door hadn’t been locked.
Yu Mingzun instinctively reached out to grab him but took only two steps before stopping coldly in place, watching from a distance as Xi Rong panicked and ran out.
The group followed leisurely, as if they weren’t afraid of him escaping at all.
"How stupid."
"Bullying him increases the protagonist’s favorability. Why would the protagonist save him?"
It was as if the people outside were in cahoots with them.
The door to the abandoned gym was a bit broken. Xi Rong fumbled nervously to open it, struggling several times. Even those who wanted to bully him grew impatient watching.
They almost wanted to help him open it.
With a creak, the door finally opened. The moment it did, the strength in Xi Rong’s body drained away, and he stumbled forward, nearly crashing into Lu Feng.
He clearly saw Lu Feng take half a step back to avoid him.
Due to momentum, Xi Rong instinctively grabbed him.
Fortunately, he didn’t fall. He had caught the hem of Lu Feng’s school uniform.
The terrifying symptoms hadn’t completely subsided, but they were better than before. He looked up to see Lu Feng’s cold, downcast eyes, the corners slightly upturned, his brows slightly furrowed. His body didn’t move an inch.
He looked completely indifferent, as if he wouldn’t lift a finger to help.
But.
He was still safer than the unknown players.
Even the cold and distant Lu Feng wouldn’t touch him. His condition would gradually improve over time.
He even had time to put his shoe back on.
It seemed Yu Mingzun was the leader of the group. He walked at the front and had already reached the door.
Facing Lu Feng, he showed no fear.
Even though he knew the students’ disappearances in this game were definitely related to the male lead, and any action that provoked him could trigger something leading to instant death, Yu Mingzun couldn’t help but flash a provocative smile.
"My friend seems a bit unwell. Can you hand him over to me?"
Xi Rong nervously gripped Lu Feng’s clothes. Lu Feng didn’t push him away, nor did he do anything. If Yu Mingzun came to grab him, Lu Feng probably wouldn’t intervene, Xi Rong thought.
He tightened his grip.
Because Yu Mingzun’s hand was already reaching out.
Soon, it would grab him.
"Are you planning to stay here any longer, Gege?"
Even Yu Mingzun’s hand paused. The group seemed surprised that Lu Feng had spoken. His tone already suggested he was helping Xi Rong escape.
He even called him 'Gege'
"I’ll go with you!" Xi Rong seized the moment to speak.
Lu Feng didn’t seem to wait for him. As he turned, Xi Rong’s hand naturally let go, but he stayed close. Yu Mingzun and the others stood there with unreadable expressions but didn’t stop them.
Once they were out of sight, Lu Feng walked further ahead, and Xi Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked behind Lu Feng in silence. Lu Feng was tall, with broad shoulders that blocked the view ahead. The length of his black hair was just right.
He truly had the looks of a school heartthrob who could captivate countless girls—gentle and handsome, yet cold and sharp. With just one look, Xi Rong had already forgotten the character’s original game model.
They looked similar, yet their auras were completely different.
That’s right.
The game had malfunctioned, and the characters inside had changed into some unknown setting.
Now, it followed new rules—a horror game where people could die.
And Lu Feng was the center of this game.
"Have you seen enough?"
His cold face turned slightly, his expression indifferent.
He stood at the corner of the first flight of stairs, frowning slightly, as if with a hint of disgust.
"How long are you going to follow me?"
Xi Rong hurriedly looked around. He had unknowingly followed Lu Feng to an unfamiliar place and only now remembered that he had also just transferred to this school today.
Looking up, he could see a spiral staircase, its curves grand and expensive, a beautiful piece of architecture. Not far away, he could see the rooms on the second floor, marked with door numbers, resembling a standard British manor-style building.
This was the dormitory.
"I... I’m going back to the dorm."
It’s not like I’m following you.
I’m just afraid those people might catch up.
Xi Rong instinctively kept his distance.
Lu Feng pursed his lips and turned around again.
Xi Rong remembered that his dorm room was number 302. As he walked up, Lu Feng was ahead of him. Walking the same path at the same pace made him look like a stalker obsessed with the school heartthrob. Even though he deliberately kept a few steps away, they were heading in the same direction.
He faintly heard a soft, mocking laugh from the other person, but he wasn’t sure.
Afraid of being accused of following Lu Feng again, Xi Rong quickly quickened his pace and overtook him.
The staircase was wide, and the third floor wasn’t far. The two of them arrived almost simultaneously.
Coincidentally, Lu Feng’s dorm was number 303.
His was 302.
Xi Rong stood dumbfounded at the dorm door, only now realizing he didn’t have a key.
Next door, he could already hear the sound of a key turning in the lock. Lu Feng didn’t even glance his way, speaking coldly.
"My clothes are dirty. I’m going back to the dorm to change. What about you?"
Xi Rong paused for a second or two before understanding what Lu Feng meant.
He was still calling him a stalker.
"I... I..."
He finally thought of a reason. He could say he was also here to change clothes, but before he could speak, Lu Feng’s indifferent voice rang out again.
"I had P.E. class. You should’ve been in class. What are you doing in the dorm? You don’t even have a key."
It was so awkward it could make someone dig out a villa with embarrassment. He hadn’t done anything wrong, he was just trying to avoid harm, but it looked like he had ulterior motives.
Why had he followed? And why had he come up to the dorm?
Their dorms were so close.
It was as if he had come because of Lu Feng.
At that moment, the door to room 302 suddenly opened.
Lu Tuo strode out.
He stood in front of Xi Rong, right between the two of them.
Tilting his chin up slightly, like a proud little leopard, he said, "He’s here to see me. Got a problem with that?"
