After the Pitiful Background Character Gains the Ability to Read Minds

Xu Tian is a background character with almost no presence. When the protagonists enter their flirtatious phase, he's part of the cheering squad. When the side characters fight, he gets dragged in and punched twice. His presence is so low that people often step on his feet, making him secretly tear up. Then he awakens his memories and learns that he's a background character in a novel. A System appears and offers him a chance to turn his life around, giving him a golden finger: mind-reading. Xu Tian accepts. He doesn't want people stepping on his feet anymore. QAQ From that day on, when the untouchable protagonist walks past and automatically ignores him, his thoughts are practically bursting with excitement: He's so cute. I can barely hold myself back. Xu Tian tries mind-reading for the first time, frightened and nervous: What can't the protagonist hold back? The taciturn villain still stares at him with cold eyes, while his thoughts turn strangely obsessive: Do I have to lock you up before you'll look at me? Xu Tian, avoiding his gaze in fear: "?!" He thinks the villain has become twisted and calls on the System to protect him. At least his top-student deskmate still ignores him and never talks to him. Xu Tian tries reading his mind and discovers: 'I really want to kiss Xu Tian. Would he dodge?' Something's wrong. Everything is wrong. Xu Tian clutches his head in despair, wanting nothing but to escape. He begs the System to make everything go back to how it was. The System readily agrees. Things do go back to normal, and the story reaches its ending just as expected. But after the ending, someone blindfolds Xu Tian and locks him up. Xu Tian asks in confusion, "System, what's going on?" System: "Actually, they all like you, but they had to distance themselves from you and follow the plot. Now that the story's over, they've all gone dark. Hehe." Xu Tian: "...?!" The door opens, and someone stops in front of him. Their gentle voice carries a hint of madness that's hard to detect. "Xu Tian, who am I? Guess right and I'll let you go." Xu Tian has to choose from three people. He agonizingly reads their thoughts, only to find: 'If I kiss him now, will he cry?' Xu Tian forces tears from his eyes, then hears: 'I can't let him cry. Seeing him cry would excite me even more.' He holds back his tears and tries to negotiate, but gets kissed the moment he opens his mouth. "You only get one chance." "Who am I?" Theme: Find hope in desperate circumstances.
