This really is just like the anime. But was Roxy always this much of an airhead?
Watching the scene play out exactly as it had in the original anime, Cui Ciyou first marveled inwardly, then gave a cold snort.
When he had watched the anime in his previous life, he had felt that Rudeus deserved sympathy. In a sense, he was a good person, too.
But Rudeus's deeply ingrained lust and sleaziness made it impossible for Cui Ciyou to like him.
Especially when he thought about how the person before him, with that innocent appearance, actually housed the soul of a perverted middle-aged man.
He would very likely fantasize about Roxy just as he had in the original. The thought only intensified Cui Ciyou's irritation.
However, when memories of Rudeus's tragic previous life flashed through Cui Ciyou's mind,
his disgust involuntarily eased a little.
Before his reincarnation, Rudeus had stood up against injustice during his school days, stopping some delinquents from cutting in line.
As a result, the delinquents had retaliated and bullied him at school.
He had been beaten repeatedly and humiliated; stripped naked, photographed, and had those photos uploaded to social media.
He had suffered a public humiliation tantamount to social death and been given the insulting nickname "Gold-Plated Man." From that moment, his time had stopped.
He had refused to go to school or take part in any social activities, beginning a shut-in existence that lasted well over a decade.
The events leading to Rudeus's reincarnation had begun when he failed to attend his parents' funeral.
After returning from the funeral, his siblings, unable to tolerate him any longer, had thrown him out of the house.
In the end, he had tried to save three young students he had never met from a traffic accident. (Nanahoshi Shizuka
