After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 126: I’m… Shen Youyou’s Boyfriend

Her gaze swept across the group, and when it passed over Bo Jingmo’s face, her eyes flickered.

“You’re all Youyou’s classmates?” the woman narrowed her eyes, sighed softly, and said with a hint of helplessness, “That girl, really. She only told me some friends were coming, but didn’t say who exactly. Can you all give me your names? I’ll add them to the banquet guest list.”

Master Shen also smiled and said, “Yes, Youyou should’ve told you about the banquet. Just give your names to Aunt Lina—she’s in charge of the banquet.”

Mu Chengsi was the first to speak: “Hello, Madam Shen. I’m Mu Chengsi, Shen Youyou’s roommate.”

Upon hearing the name, Yu Li tilted her head slightly, smiled, but didn’t respond.

Then Yi Xian followed right after: “My name is Yi Xian, also Youyou’s roommate.”

Jiang Xi: “Madam Shen, I’m Jiang Xi, Shen Youyou’s roommate as well.”

Wu Bei had a faint smile on his face: “I’m Youyou’s classmate and also her class monitor.”

The other four all introduced themselves, except for one person who still hadn’t spoken.

Everyone instinctively turned to look at the man sitting on the far end, who had been silent the whole time.

Yu Li looked over as well, a strange red gleam flashing in her eyes as she gently asked, “And this classmate… who are you to Shen Youyou?”

Bo Jingmo lowered his eyes, staring at the porcelain plate in front of him, his cool gaze laced with some complicated, indescribable emotion.

After a long moment, he pressed his lips together and slowly spoke:

“I’m… Shen Youyou’s boyfriend. Bo Jingmo.”

The room suddenly fell into a strange silence for some reason.

Master Shen was the first to break into laughter: “Our Youyou actually found herself a boyfriend, and she never told us! What do you think, Madam? Did she say anything to you?”

Yu Li leaned back in her chair, her whole figure shrouded in the shadow cast by the sunlight, exuding an elegant aura. “I had no idea either.”

She spoke softly, “So this really is… a surprising bit of news.”

Just then, a servant brought over a glass filled with some kind of crimson liquid that shimmered under the light. The woman picked up the wine glass and gently swirled it, her fair fingertips glowing under the light.

Yu Li looked down at the contents with a slightly raised brow, her fox-like eyes lifting, the red-and-black hue in her pupils swirling faintly in the shadows.

She raised the glass and drank it all in one go. Mary beside her handed over a handkerchief and said softly, “Madam, it’s about time to confirm the guest list.”

Yu Li gave a slight nod, glanced over at Master Shen, and smiled. “Master, I’ll be going now.”

“Alright, alright, go on.” A doting smile spread across the old man’s aged face. “Let’s have dinner together later.”

Yu Li stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone at the table. “Enjoy your time at the manor. I’ll take my leave.”

Bo Jingmo’s eyes stayed on the woman’s figure, and only after she disappeared through the door did he slowly withdraw his gaze.

At that moment, Master Shen wiped his mouth and said, “I’ve got something to take care of too. Steward Wang, after they’re done eating, take these students to their rooms.”

“Yes, Master.” Steward Wang bowed respectfully.

Once the two most intimidating NPCs left, the group finally relaxed a bit. Mu Chengsi picked up her knife and fork and started eating.

Yi Xian noticed and was startled, whispering, “But what if…”

This whole manor felt off. What if there was something wrong with the food…

But Mu Chengsi only said one word: “Eat.”

In an instance of this level, they probably wouldn’t poison you right at the beginning.

Plus, with all the servants around, refusing to eat would only arouse suspicion from the NPCs and risk breaking character.

That Steward Wang was clearly a major NPC—they couldn’t afford to tip him off.

Wu Bei obviously had the same idea and picked up his knife and fork to start eating.

Seeing the two veteran players start eating, Yi Xian and Jiang Xi quickly followed suit.

Only Bo Jingmo remained motionless.

Steward Wang walked over, his face fixed in a polite smile, bending down to ask, “Mr. Bo, why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking? I can have the chef prepare something else for you.”

Hearing this, the other four all looked up at Bo Jingmo.

The man merely lifted his eyes lightly, his tone calm: “Can I go see Youyou first? I’m a bit worried about her.”

His words perfectly portrayed the image of a good boyfriend who couldn’t eat because he was worried about his girlfriend.

Steward Wang paused for a moment before replying apologetically, “Sorry, Mr. Bo. The young lady hasn’t wanted to see anyone due to her illness.”

“Why?” Bo Jingmo asked calmly. “Not even her boyfriend? Maybe if you tell her it’s me, she’ll agree. We’re very much in love, after all.”

“Well…” Steward Wang looked a little troubled. “Then please wait a moment, I’ll go ask her.”

Bo Jingmo: “Alright. Thank you.”

Steward Wang straightened up and quietly told a nearby servant, “Once they’re done eating, take them to their rooms.”

“Yes.”

Watching Steward Wang leave, the group quickly put down their utensils after a few bites and wiped their mouths as they stood up. “Alright, alright, we’re full.”

With the most troublesome NPC gone, this was a rare opportunity.

The servant lowered her gaze obediently. “Then please follow me.”

Wu Bei gave Bo Jingmo an extra glance, a flicker of approval in his eyes.

Didn’t expect this newcomer to be so quick-witted.

Bo Jingmo didn’t seem to notice the look. He quietly picked up his things and followed the servant.

Mu Chengsi also looked thoughtfully at Bo Jingmo’s back. Judging by this, he really was helping the team out.

That situation Yi Xian mentioned… could it have just been an accident?

The servant led them to their respective rooms, then calmly said, “You’re free to explore the manor. Someone will come notify you at dinnertime.”

Then, the maid suddenly looked up, her gaze sweeping over each of them.

“Just one thing—please do not go near the north wing. That’s where the Master and Madam live. They don’t like outsiders getting close.”

Her voice was calm and cold, not loud but echoing with silent pressure in the hallway.

Upon hearing that, Bo Jingmo—standing in the back—slowly lowered his gaze. His eyelashes trembled slightly. His face remained expressionless, but his hands at his sides quietly clenched into fists.
