Chapter 107

"Nan Zhu, I have a favor to ask you."

Wu Liang pressed on Nan Zhu's shoulder and looked at him with a serious expression.

If it's the Nan Zhu, then there's definitely no problem, since the Nan Zhu is the main male protagonist of this game.

While the male protagonist's aura isn't invincible, it's definitely the strongest and most useful.

Moreover, Nan Zhu himself is a handsome guy with high emotional intelligence, even though this is only Nan Zhu's first time meeting He Xue.

However, Nan Zhu's abilities are definitely enough to persuade He Xue and help her get out of the shadows.

He trusted Nan Zhu; to be precise, he had absolute confidence in Nan Zhu.

After all, Nan Zhu even convinced the Rat. You know, the Rat itself really disliked Nan Zhu was such an outstanding son of God, but Nan Zhu used his personal charm to make the Rat accept him.

"Wu Liang, what do you want me to do? I have a feeling it's not going to be anything good."

Feeling a little intimidated by Wu Liang's intense gaze.

Nan Zhu couldn't help but get goosebumps.

He could see a complex mix of emotions in Wu Liang's eyes: joy, approval, and even satisfaction.

What on earth happened to make Wu Liang act so strangely?

"Don't worry, I won't make you do anything weird."

"This is a very simple matter, and it's even simpler for you."

Wu Liang pinched Nan Zhu's cheek with satisfaction. It seemed that saving Nan Zhu back then was indeed the wisest choice.

He never imagined that he could become friends with Nan Zhu in such a short time.

Moreover, his relationship with Nan Zhu is now much better than he imagined.

Since that's the case, he can ask the other party for a favor as a friend.

"So, what exactly is it?"

Nan Zhu swallowed hard; he had never seen Wu Liang smile at him so gently before.

Wu Liang's smile, in particular, gave him a chill for no reason.

That devilish smile forced him to seriously consider Wu Liang's request.

What exactly happened that made Wu Liang ask him to solve it?

"Isn't this obvious? I want you to get close to He Xue and help her out of her slump."

"You've noticed He Xue's changes, so you can probably guess He Xue turned out that way."

Wu Liang cracked his knuckles, making a series of clicking sounds.

She put one arm around Nan Zhu's neck, leaned close to him, and whispered something.

"Simply put, He Xue and Han Yu have broken up, and Han Yu is no longer He Xue's friend from today onwards."

"There are many reasons, but you don't need to care about the reasons for their falling out right now. You just need to know that He Xue has lost her most important friend."

"He Xue has lost her most important friend and is going through a very difficult time, so I hope you can help her out of this dark period."

Wu Liang briefly described his thoughts to Nan Zhu.

I think I've made things very clear. Nan Zhu isn't stupid; he naturally understands what I mean.

He Xue's incident is a crucial turning point in advancing the plot, so he absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by.

This will be the first contact between Nan Zhu and He Xue, and it may also be a major opportunity for Nan Zhu to plant the seed of love in He Xue's heart.

There's a saying that goes something like this: the best time to win a woman's heart is when she's most vulnerable.

The Nan Zhu's strength is clearly not to be underestimated. If Nan Zhu were to go all out, he might even seduce the aunt next door.

"???"

Nan Zhu was completely confused. Why him of all people?

Moreover, he wasn't even very familiar with this He Xue, so why was he the one to go?

Besides, what did Wu Liang mean by that? Why did he sound like a seasoned player in love?

Aside from comforting Nan Qingshui, who was still in junior high school, he had never comforted anyone else before.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this, and he wasn't confident he could soothe He Xue's wavering heart.

"I know you'll have questions, I know you'll ask me why I let you go instead of going myself."

"I can't properly explain the ins and outs of this matter to you, but I hope you believe me that only you can do this."

Wu Liang knew, of course, that Nan Zhu would have questions about this matter, and that Nan Zhu would not understand his choice.

But he really didn't know how to explain it to Nan Zhu. He couldn't just point at He Xue and say, "This is your future wife, could he?"

Nan Zhu would surely treat him like a lunatic who escaped from a mental hospital.

"Wu Liang... you..."

Nan Zhu looked at Wu Liang with a complicated expression, unsure of what to say to express his feelings.

This was the first time Wu Liang had asked him for a favor since they met.

Even though he became friends with Wu Liang, Nan Zhu felt that Wu Liang had never developed much trust in him.

After all, he had only known Wu Liang for a few days, and it was completely impossible for him to develop genuine trust in such a short time.

This was the first time Nan Zhu had seen Wu Liang make such a serious request to him, which warmed his heart somewhat.

"I believe you can do it, and I hope you can help me with this."

Wu Liang took a deep breath and stared intently into Nan Zhu's eyes.

Whether he can avoid death a year later depends on Nan Zhu's performance.

Nan Zhu hxd, my life, Wu Liang's, is in your hands now. You absolutely must resolve this matter perfectly.

"Why me of all people? Why can't it be someone else?"

Nan Zhu smiled helplessly; he actually really wanted to help Wu Liang.

After all, Wu Liang's figure, who stepped forward in that dim alley, was etched deeply into his mind like a branding iron.

Even though Wu Liang and he were the same age, in that alley, Wu Liang's back looked so broad and reliable.

Wu Liang rescued him from the thugs, but he was unable to repay Wu Liang's kindness or express his gratitude afterward.

Verbal thanks are nothing; Nan Zhu had fantasized about helping Wu Liang out of danger if he encountered difficulties.

But in his subsequent interactions with Wu Liang, he quickly discovered that Wu Liang was almost a perfect character.

Nothing has ever been able to stump Wu Liang. Even when he clashed with the Imperial Moon Academy the day before yesterday, he resolved the situation single-handedly.

He and the Rat just stood there dumbfounded, watching from a distance, completely unable to intervene.

It was only then that he realized he might never be able to repay Wu Liang's kindness in his lifetime, after all, that person was already outstanding to the extreme of humanity.

He thought he might never be able to repay the debt of gratitude, but Wu Liang is now taking the initiative to seek his help.

"It's not a question of whether others can do it or not, but that others simply cannot do it."

"There is no one but you who can do this. I hope you can help He Xue get out of her despair."

Wu Liang scratched the back of his head and said dejectedly, "Only Nan Zhu could do that."

As for the reason, is there even a question? It's because the male Nan Zhu is the protagonist of this game.

"Why don't you go by yourself? I remember you cared a lot about He Xue, didn't you?"

"Ah... um... it's not really appropriate for me to go..."

Wu Liang smiled awkwardly at Nan Zhu's question.

This matter was originally related to him in some complicated way, and Han Yu became close friends with He Xue because of him.

One reason Han Yu became friends with He Xue was because he was interested in her, and the other was because Wu Liang used to flirt with He Xue.

If he were to try to comfort He Xue now, it would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire.

Besides, his original intention was to bring Nan Zhu and He Xue together, so it was perfectly normal for Nan Zhu to go.

"Not suitable?"

Nan Zhu tilted her head, looking at Wu Liang with a puzzled expression, who seemed to have something difficult to say.

Then he turned to look at He Xue, and finally fixed his gaze on Wu Liang.

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in the male protagonist's mind, Nan Zhu instantly realized what was going on after seeing Wu Liang's "shy" face.

"So that's how it is! No wonder Wu Liang wanted me to talk to He Xue!!"

Nan Zhu tapped his palm with a smile, his previous doubts suddenly clearing up after carefully considering Wu Liang's words.

So that's how it is. No wonder Wu Liang wanted me to be able to comfort He Xue.

"Huh? Uh, yeah, I'm glad you understand."

Wu Liang was somewhat bewildered after seeing Nan Zhu's understanding expression.

Did I say anything extra to Nan Zhu? Why does Nan Zhu look like he suddenly realized something?

Oh well, as long as Nan Zhu is willing to comfort He Xue, that's fine.

"Wu Liang, I never knew you had such a cute side..."

"Haha, okay, I'll accept your request."

Nan Zhu patted Wu Liang on the shoulder with a smile, not expecting that Wu Liang could also be shy.

Actually, if you think about Wu Liang's previous attitude towards He Xue carefully, you can guess what happened.

Wu Liang had been quietly watching over He Xue for a while, and a few days ago during PE class, he even took the initiative to help He Xue out of a predicament.

She even carried him to the infirmary in a princess carry and stayed there to take care of him for a long time.

Wu Liang clearly liked the girl named He Xue; otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about her so much.

This time, he noticed the conflict between He Xue and Han Yu much earlier, but as an outsider, he was unable to intervene.

Wu Liang, due to shyness and nervousness, did not dare to take the initiative to approach He Xue.

So, he was forced to take on this task, since Wu Liang only had himself and Rat as friends. Rat gets nervous whenever he sees a girl, so he can't communicate well with He Xue.

Therefore, the only person Wu Liang could ask for help from was himself, which is why Wu Liang said that only he could do this.

But Wu Liang, don't worry, I, Nan Zhu, will stake my name on it and make sure He Xue realizes your feelings...

Chapter 50: The Ensuing Oppression (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 12/32)

He Xue didn't know how she got through the class; all she could hear was a constant barrage of noise.

She couldn't hear what her classmates were talking about around her, nor could she hear what the teacher was saying on the podium.

Only Han Yu's words from before kept echoing in his ears.

It was like an ancient bell being struck, making a buzzing sound that caused her immense pain.

Her delicate face was contorted with a distorted expression, and her tightly furrowed brows made He Xue look extremely disheveled.

He clenched his hands tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms.

A trickle of bright red blood flowed down He Xue's fingers and dripped onto the ground.

Why did things turn out this way? What did she do wrong to make Xiao Yu dislike her?

Was Xiao Yu's entire year with her just an act? Did she only become her friend because she found her interesting?

He Xue couldn't understand Xiao Yu's actions; why would the other party do this?

What benefit does this bring to Xiao Yu? Is it just something she finds fun?
