I Transmigrated Into a Villain and All the Heroines in This Novel Have Systems?

Chapter 34:

Xia Tian quickly returned with the medicine.

Lin Chuan was sitting on a bench by the roadside, waiting.

She sat down beside him, took out a cotton swab and medical alcohol from the plastic bag, and said, “Give me your hand.”

Without saying much, Lin Chuan extended his hand.

Xia Tian placed his hand on her lap, dipped the cotton swab in alcohol, and carefully cleaned his wound.

Since she had come for an interview today, she was dressed in a black professional suit— a fitted blazer on top and a matching skirt on the bottom.

When standing, the skirt reached just below her knees, but when she sat down, the hem lifted slightly, revealing her fair thighs.

Lin Chuan’s hand rested right on her smooth, silk-clad legs.

Feeling the delicate texture against his palm, Lin Chuan’s heart stirred involuntarily.

Who could resist the allure of Xia Tian, a campus goddess with such a stunning figure?

Unless he wasn’t a man.

And Lin Chuan was not only a man but also one of the most infamous playboys in Zhonghai.

Faced with such a temptation, how could he possibly remain indifferent?

Acting on impulse, he ****** her thigh twice.

Xia Tian’s body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.

Under normal circumstances, if a man dared to do this to her, she would have slapped him across the face, followed by an elbow strike, a flying kick, and a solid beating.

But Lin Chuan had just saved her, and on top of that, she still had a system mission to complete. Biting her lip, she ultimately chose to ignore what had happened and continued dressing his wound.

After applying the medicine, she wrapped his hand in gauze and even tied a neat little bow at the end.

Lin Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle. “It’s just a small scratch. Do you really need to wrap it up so tightly? Anyone who sees this would think I broke my hand.”

“Tightly wrapped is better. It prevents infection and tetanus.”

Xia Tian put away the remaining gauze and medicine. Noticing that his hand was still resting on her leg, she shot him a look, signaling him to move it.

Only then did Lin Chuan pull his hand back.

Xia Tian’s face flushed slightly, but she pretended not to notice.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Chuan felt a strange excitement rise in his heart. He almost wanted to drag her into the woods right then and there.

But he wasn’t in a hurry.

He had plenty of time.

After all, every single top-tier beauty from the original novel was destined to be his sooner or later.

“Let’s go.”

Having just received her system reward of 10,000 yuan in cash, Xia Tian was feeling much more confident.

Lin Chuan didn’t waste any time and headed straight for his Audi A4L.

Xia Tian followed closely behind and got into the passenger seat.

The onlookers were still gathered, watching the scene unfold. Many of the men, in particular, were heartbroken as they saw their goddess willingly get into another man’s luxury car.

“Ah… my goddess just got into another man’s car. I feel like my heart is breaking.”

“Don’t be sad. She didn’t just get into his car. She’ll probably be riding something else of Young Master Lin’s later tonight…”

“Stop talking! It really hurts!”

“Stop whining. The truth is, the woman you can’t even dream of getting is just a toy for someone like Young Master Lin. Once he gets bored, he’ll toss her aside without a second thought.”

“Is having money really all it takes to do whatever you want?”

“Isn’t it?”

“…Now that you mention it, yeah, it kinda is.”

Under Xia Tian’s guidance, Lin Chuan soon drove to the private restaurant.

The place was nestled between two small mountains, making it quite secluded.

If Xia Tian hadn’t led him here, he would never have guessed there was a restaurant hidden in such a location.

From a distance, he could see a grand traditional courtyard built against the mountain, with a magnificent three-meter-tall gate.

“This place has over 200 years of history. It was originally built by a high-ranking official from the late Qing Dynasty as a summer retreat after he retired. In recent years, it was renovated and turned into a private restaurant…”

After getting out of the car, Xia Tian began introducing the history of the place.

“How have I never heard of such a great place before?” Lin Chuan wondered.

As someone who used to frequent the best food and entertainment spots in Zhonghai, he prided himself on knowing all the top restaurants.

But in his memory, he had never been here before.

“The owner here is eccentric and doesn’t care about marketing. Most of the guests come through word-of-mouth recommendations. I only found out about it because a classmate brought me here once…”

As they chatted, they walked through the vermillion-painted doors.

The moment they stepped inside, a waitress dressed in a qipao greeted them.

Upon learning that they were only a party of two, she led them to a small private room.

As they passed through the courtyard, Lin Chuan couldn’t help but admire the scenery.

The place was exquisitely designed, with pavilions, corridors, and ponds blending harmoniously—like a scene from an ancient painting.

Their private room was small, only about a dozen square meters, but it was elegantly decorated.

Xia Tian took the menu from the waitress and was about to let Lin Chuan order.

However, his mind was preoccupied with finding the wild ginseng from the novel, so he let her pick a few dishes at random.

As the waitress left to place their order, Lin Chuan casually suggested, “It’ll take some time for the food to be ready. Want to take a walk outside?”

Xia Tian assumed he just wanted to admire the courtyard and had no reason to refuse.

So the two of them got up and walked out.

According to the original story, the wild ginseng was located in the back mountain behind the courtyard.

Lin Chuan subtly guided their steps toward the rear and soon found a small door leading to the back.

In the original novel, this was the very door that Qin Chao had passed through before discovering the wild ginseng.

Seeing it in front of him, Lin Chuan was delighted and quickened his pace.

“Where are you going?” Xia Tian asked, noticing they were heading into a more secluded area.

“I saw that the back mountain has nice scenery. I just want to take a look,” Lin Chuan answered casually.

“There’s nothing to see back there. I heard it hasn’t been developed yet—it’s still a wild forest. There must be a lot of snakes and insects. Let’s not go,” Xia Tian hesitated.

They had already come this far—there was no way Lin Chuan was giving up now.

“If you’re scared, you can go back to the private room. I’ll just take a quick look around.”

With that, he didn’t wait for her response and stepped through the door.

Xia Tian hesitated for a moment before ultimately following him.

Beyond the door, the back mountain was overgrown with shrubs, wild grass, and thorny bushes.

Since the novel didn’t specify the exact location of the ginseng, Lin Chuan had to be extra observant.

Luckily, when the system granted him combat mastery, it had also enhanced his physical abilities.

His five senses were now far sharper than before.

He could pick up even the slightest movements within two meters.

The terrain was rough and difficult to walk on. After only a short distance, Xia Tian was already panting, her forehead covered in sweat.

“This is exhausting. Let’s go back,” she said, completely confused as to why Lin Chuan was so determined to explore this place.

Lin Chuan stopped for a moment, about to say something.

But just then, his nose caught a strange medicinal scent in the air.

“Do you smell that?”
