Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Chen Lanyi occasionally heard people say that the outside of the continent is actually more interesting than the inside of the continent, which made her feel itchy.

After all, she had never set foot outside the continent since she was a child. Her curiosity instantly exploded, and she immediately made up her mind to go out for some fun.

She called Li Cenyuan to go with her, and originally wanted to call Gu Tu, but unfortunately, Gu Tu was in seclusion in Jue Jing, undergoing a year-long closed training, and could not get away at all.

Chen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan decided that if the outside world was really as fun as the rumors said, they would go explore the way first and bring Gu Tu with them next time.

Just like that, Shen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan packed their luggage and embarked on this trip to another continent.

The first stop of their journey was confirmed to be the Great Xia Kingdom.

Since you are going out to play, a guide is essential. Daxia Country was carefully selected by Shen Lanyi. I heard that this country has a lot of delicious food and too many fun places to count. It will be a good choice to go here.

As soon as they got off the plane, they went straight to a popular local restaurant for dinner.

The food was delicious, but there was a small incident during the meal -

Just as they were immersed in the world of food, a waiter suddenly came over and announced that today was Valentine's Day and the restaurant had exclusive promotions for couples. As long as couples came to dine, they could enjoy special discounts and gifts.

After hearing this, Shen Lanyi and Li Cenyuan looked at each other and said in unison: "We are not a couple."

A trace of embarrassment suddenly emerged on the waitress's face. She thought her judgment was correct. After all, the two people in front of her looked like a good match. She didn't expect such a big mistake.

She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I wish you two a pleasant meal." Then she hurried away.

After the waiter left, Shen Lanyi picked up a piece of tender meat and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing, she kept rolling her eyes like a curious baby, looking at the other people in the restaurant.

There is no such thing as Valentine's Day in Xuanzhou, so Chen Lanyi was very surprised by the festive atmosphere full of pink bubbles.

Only then did she notice that most of the people who came here to eat were men and women, in pairs, and their behavior was very intimate.

Some of them feed each other, the man gently picks up a piece of food and gently puts it to the woman's mouth, and the woman shyly opens her mouth slightly, and the sweetness is like honey and oil; some of them snuggle together, the man's arms are around the woman's shoulders, the woman's head rests on the man's chest, whispering, smiling happily; others sit face to face, holding hands tightly, gazing into each other's eyes lovingly, as if each other is the only one in the world.

Is this what falling in love is like?

Shen Lanyi couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

But when she looked at herself and Cen Yuan again, we were so well-behaved and didn't do anything intimate, but people still mistook us for a couple. This was really funny.

Li Cenyuan saw that Shen Lanyi looked lost in thought, so he stretched out his fingers and tapped the table lightly, making a "tapping" sound, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Lanyi came back to her senses, looked at Li Cenyuan, and said seriously and firmly: "Let's play separately."

Li Cenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Separate?"

Of course he knew what Shen Lanyi meant, but he didn't understand why she suddenly came up with this idea.

Shen Lanyi nodded vigorously, her tone firm: "Yes, separate."

"Look at us, a man and a woman," he said, pointing at Li Cenyuan and himself respectively, "It's easy to be misunderstood when we play together, just like what happened just now. What if a handsome guy wants to chat with me on the street in the future, but he doesn't dare to come when he sees you next to him."

Li Cenyuan suddenly realized, and a helpless and slightly teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He leaned back on the chair and crossed his arms, "So you think I'm getting in the way of you meeting a handsome guy."

Shen Lanyi didn't hide it and said bluntly: "That's really what I mean. But don't pretend to be wronged here. You must agree with my idea in your heart. After all, you don't want people to misunderstand that there is something going on between us."

"How do you know I don't want to?" Li Cenyuan looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of mischief, "Have you forgotten that we are still engaged?"

When Shen Lanyi heard this, her eyes almost rolled up to the sky, and her face was speechless: "Come on, engagement. I have known you since I came out of my mother's womb, and I have seen you for more than 20 years. If I really have to spend my whole life with you, I might as well become a nun!"

They both knew very well that the relationship between them was just brother and sister, and there was no love between men and women at all.

Therefore, the engagement that the Li and Shen families had made for them would have to be cancelled sooner or later.

Li Cenyuan: "...That's true, but could you please put it more tactfully?"

Chen Lanyi: "No, I'm going to say this anyway, we must go our separate ways, so as not to delay our respective 'romantic encounters'."

Li Cenyuan couldn't agree more, "Okay, let's divide it after we finish this meal!"

Chen Lanyi picked up the cup, raised it high, and suggested excitedly, "Come on, cheers, I wish we can all have fun after we separate."

Li Cenyuan also picked up the cup and clinked it with hers, making a crisp sound. He teased, "I must be very relaxed without you around."

There were too many. Li Cenyuan couldn't count how many times he had taken the blame for Shen Lanyi since he was a child.

Among the three of them, the one who was most likely to cause trouble was actually Shen Lanyi, but she was particularly good at pretending to be innocent. Every time something happened, others would naturally think that it was Li Cenyuan and Gu Tu who did it. In the end, they were always the ones who got punished, and Shen Lanyi would hide away beautifully.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lanyi was immediately dissatisfied. She put the cup heavily on the table with a "smack" and said angrily: "Relax? You think I'm a burden to you, right?"

Li Cenyuan took a sip of the drink slowly, then slowly put the cup down before replying, "Isn't it? From childhood to adulthood, every time it was because of you that Ah Tu and I got scolded? But you were able to get away with it every time."

"..."

Shen Lanyi curled her lips, "That's because I'm smart and you're stupid!"

"Okay, you're smart, you're the smartest."

And just like that, the meal ended in a noisy atmosphere.

After walking out of the restaurant, Chen Lanyi raised her chin and said to Li Cenyuan, "Since you are a few years older than me, I will let you choose which side to go first."

Whichever side Li Cenyuan chose, she would choose the opposite.

Li Cenyuan almost laughed out of anger. He was only three years older than Chen Lanyi, but she kept bringing up his age.

"Okay, I choose, I choose North." Li Cenyuan said with gritted teeth.

Shen Lanyi immediately responded: "Then I'll go to the south."

After deciding the direction they were going, Chen Lanyi pulled her suitcase and walked backwards, waving with one hand and shouting, "Bye, have fun, and don't call or send messages if you don't have anything else. I'm busy and may not be able to take care of you."

Li Cenyuan: "...Don't worry, I will never look for you unless I die!"

Shen Lanyi was delighted: "That's exactly what I want!"

……

After Ruyuan separated from Li Cenyuan, Shen Lanyi headed south to City G.

G City is a great place with picturesque scenery. There is a mountain there. I heard that the top of the mountain is a great camping spot, where you can see the bright starry sky and the magnificent sunrise.

As soon as Shen Lanyi saw the relevant introduction, she was so excited that she immediately decided to go there for two days.

After making a detailed strategy and buying all the necessary equipment for mountaineering and camping, I started climbing the mountain calmly and with high morale.

There is only one way up the mountain, and it is neither the peak tourist season nor the weekend, so we didn't meet many tourists along the way.

Chen Lanyi likes a quiet atmosphere. If there are too many people, it will affect her mood for appreciating the scenery.

She climbed up the mountain with brisk steps, step by step. The mountain breeze gently brushed across her cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness, as if nature was caressing her gently.

Suddenly, Shen Lanyi heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned around curiously and saw a boy running towards her with his head down.

There were several boys behind him, all of them were running out of breath.

Seeing this, Chen Lanyi raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, then stepped aside, intending to wait for them to run past before leaving.

The mountain road was not wide to begin with, and she didn't want to be bumped into by anyone.

However, the thing we worried about still happened.

The boy who was running in the front, perhaps because he was running too fast, didn't notice there was someone in front of him at all, and bumped into Chen Lanyi.

The collision caused him to stumble and lose his balance, and he was about to fall backwards.

"Help, help, help!"

Only at this moment did Shen Lanyi see clearly what this person looked like.

It’s a handsome guy!

When she saw the other person's appearance clearly, she subconsciously stretched out her hand, stretched her arm forward quickly, grabbed the boy's hand waving in the air, and pulled it hard, which made him stand firm.

"Thank you, thank you." Yi Yun survived the disaster and patted his chest and gasped.

Chen Lanyi looked at Yi Yun, who was still panting with his hands on his knees, frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Although I almost made you fall just now, you hit me first. I see that you are not a child anymore. Don't you know that running on a mountain road like this is a very dangerous thing?"

Although the other person is very handsome, Shen Lanyi is not the kind of person who will be dazzled by his appearance.

Fortunately, it was her who was hit. If it was someone else, both of them would have suffered.

Being reprimanded...

Yi Yun stood up straight and was about to apologize, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly stopped when he saw Shen Lanyi's face.

He just felt his heart pounding, even more violently than when he almost fell just now.

The woman in front of me has eyebrows as dark as distant ink and eyes like stars. Her slightly furrowed brows not only do not affect her beauty, but instead add a bit of charm to her.

Yi Yun was stunned for a moment, until Chen Lanyi spoke again: "Hey, are you listening to me?"

He finally woke up from his dream, his face turned red like a ripe tomato, and he said quickly: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, you were right to scold me, it was my negligence, I shouldn't have bet with my friends, I'm really sorry."

Yi Yun and several friends also came here to camp. Halfway through the journey, someone suddenly had an idea and proposed a competition to see who could reach the top of the mountain first. The winner would not have to do any work, like setting up the tent, and the others would help him.

When Yi Yun heard this, his competitive spirit was immediately aroused, and he never thought that it almost led to a disaster.

Chen Lan thought Yi Yun had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so she stopped pestering him and said calmly, "I know, you can go now, your friend has already gone upstairs."

As early as when Yi Yun was entangled with Chen Lanyi, his friends took advantage of the situation to chase them, and now they are almost out of sight.

Yi Yun raised his head and glanced upwards, decisively abandoning his friend, and said to Shen Lanyi: “It’s okay, I’ll lose if I catch up now anyway, so I might as well walk up slowly.”

Before Yi Yun finished speaking, Shen Lanyi had already raised her foot and continued to walk up.

Yi Yun quickly followed him and asked with concern: "I bumped into you just now, are you feeling unwell?"

"Yes." Shen Lanyi stopped.

Yi Yun suddenly became anxious, "Where? Do we need to go to the hospital?"

Chen Lanyi looked at Yi Yun's anxious look, and laughed, her eyes curved into a crescent shape, and teased: "I'm kidding, I'm fine."

Yi Yun was still worried, "Are you really okay? If there is anything, you must tell me, I will take responsibility."

"Responsible?" Shen Lanyi's eyes became meaningful, and she looked at him with a smile, "How do you plan to take responsibility?"

Yi Yun's face turned even redder when she looked at him like that. He looked away and stammered, "I...I will take good care of you until you fully recover."

Chen Lanyi looked at his embarrassment and found it very interesting: "What if it doesn't get better?"

Yi Yun paused after hearing this, then looked at Shen Lanyi firmly, and said seriously: "Then I will always take care of you."

"I'll take care of you, why are you blushing?" Shen Lanyi found that the man in front of her was speaking firmly, but her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she couldn't help but joked.

Yi Yun's face became redder and his eyes dodged again: "I... I'm hot."

He didn't dare admit that he blushed because he liked her. After all, they had only known each other for less than a few minutes. If he said he liked her now, he would definitely be considered frivolous.

Yi Yun thought silently in his heart, trying to calm his panic.
