Chapter 108

Does deceiving herself bring her pleasure? Does hurting herself bring her excitement?

Was their relationship fake for over a year?

Are all those times of laughing together, shopping together, and talking about our favorite foods just a facade?

She absolutely could not admit to this; she had to find Xiao Yu and get to the bottom of it.

"Small..."

"Oh, He Xue, could you let us through first?"

"He Xue, you don't look well. Should we go to the infirmary? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you've always looked like this."

"Hey, we're going over there, why did you suddenly stand up?"

Just as He Xue stood up, three girls walked towards her and blocked her way.

The girl in the middle is the rich girl who was showing off her bracelet with someone yesterday.

As if seeing He Xue would taint her eyes, the girl only lingered on He Xue's tear-streaked face for a few seconds before shifting her gaze elsewhere.

The other girls standing on either side were clearly the rich girl's followers, and they also waved their hands with disdain.

What's wrong with someone secretly shedding tears? What's going on? Do they really think they're some kind of beauty made of water?

Nobody's bothered you, so why are you crying here all by yourself? Are you trying to elicit sympathy from others?

"I'm... sorry..."

Seeing the three menacing figures in front of her He Xue lowered her head and stepped aside to make way for them.

Her relationship with these people was never close; they were just familiar strangers.

Although she was a member of the class, her family background meant she could never integrate with the children of wealthy families.

"Why are you crying here all by yourself? If you want to cry, go to the toilet. This is a public place, and no one wants to see you cry here."

"If even the toilet can't accommodate you, then you might as well hold it in and go home to cry."

The girl in the middle stared coldly at He Xue, whose face was streaked with tears.

She snorted coldly and walked past He Xue, clearly disliking the woman.

If there's a reason, it's He Xue is prettier than her and also has better grades.

She was just the daughter of an ordinary business owner, yet she had such beautiful black hair and delicate skin.

Not only is she much prettier than her, but she also ranks among the top students in the entire grade.

Moreover, Wu Liang and Classmate Nanzhu seem to be very interested in He Xue. Why does this woman always seem to get all the good things?

I'm so annoyed, so incredibly annoyed. I really don't know what's so great about this woman besides her pretty face.

She was clearly more fashionable than this country bumpkin, so why couldn't the handsome Wu Liang and Classmate Nanzhu notice her?

However, it seems that He Xue has suffered quite a blow.

She had previously noticed that Han Yu, who usually liked to stick close to He Xue, had no intention of standing out.

You should know that these two people used to be very close.

But now that his friend is being bullied, he didn't come to his aid. Normally, he would have stood up for him long ago.

Although we don't know what happened, it seems that these two friends have completely broken up.

She was initially a little intimidated by Han Yu's family background, after all, he was not someone to be trifled with.

But now she no longer needs to care about Han Yu's feelings, since these two so-called good friends have completely broken up.

That means He Xue has absolutely no one to back her up...

"Let's go."

The girl gave He Xue a cold, dismissive look, then called to her follower and walked past He Xue.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"But He Xue, you probably don't mind, right? Well then, we'll be going now~"

One of the girls passing by He Xue "accidentally" stepped on He Xue's shoe.

He quickly put on a worried and concerned expression and looked at He Xue.

But the mocking smile on her face made it impossible to tell that it was unintentional.

"It's nothing... I was the one who blocked your way..."

He Xue didn't say much, but instead reached out and took out a handkerchief, bent down and wiped her shoes.

Even knowing that these people were doing it on purpose, she had no way to refute them.

There's absolutely no need to make an enemy of that rich girl over something like this.

Besides, it's not a big deal; just bear with it and it will pass.

"Tsk... boring woman..."

The girls clicked their tongues in disdain after seeing He Xue's complete lack of resistance.

These puppet-like dolls didn't interest them at all.

If they don't even know how to put up a fight, what's the point?

The girls snorted and turned to leave the classroom; they weren't going to waste their time on He Xue.

"..."

The boys around them pretended not to see anything and chatted amongst themselves.

But all the boys' eyes were quietly drawn to He Xue, and some might feel sorry for He Xue situation.

But most people don't say much, since in this academy, status is the badge that symbolizes identity.

Even though He Xue is indeed a beautiful girl with a sweet voice and good grades, and even though many of them like He Xue very much.

However, they could only remain silent when faced with the bullying He Xue received, since He Xue's status was simply too low.

No one would get into a conflict with other rich kids over He Xue, because it wasn't worth it.

For He Xue, the daughter of an unknown small business owner, to offend the daughter of a financial tycoon, only a fool would do such a thing.

"Ha, what a loud and boisterous woman."

Sitting in the back, Han Yu tossed her hair and sneered as she watched the crowd walk past He Xue.

They're just bullies who rely on their master's power, but that's all the kind of low-class things they can do.

How incredibly boring! To bully He Xue with such a lame excuse.

Couldn't they come up with a slightly more original reason? I'm already tired of seeing the same old excuses. Those women are such a useless bunch.

"Hmm, I'm a little tired."

Han Yu stretched and slowly stood up from her seat and walked forward.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Han Yu took off the pink hair clip from her hair and held it in her hand.

Glancing at He Xue's location, Han Yu approached her with light steps.

"Xiao... Xiao Yu... I have something I want to tell you..."

When He Xue Han Yu approaching her, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in her dark eyes.

As if anticipating something, she clenched her small hands and spoke nervously.

But it seemed she didn't know how to start, her voice trembling and stuttering with fear.

"He Xue, I've come to return this to you. I just forgot. I'm so sorry."

Han Yu grabbed He Xue's small hand and placed a delicate pink hair clip in He Xue's palm.

I forgot about this before; it was a gift He Xue gave her on her first Christmas.

Because I always wear it on my head and it's become a habit, I almost forgot about it.

"Xiao... Xiao Yu... what did I do wrong...?"

He Xue stared blankly at the hair clip lying in her palm.

A strong sense of bitterness and grievance welled up in my heart. Why did it have to come to this?

What did she do wrong to make Xiao Yu suddenly become this unfamiliar?

Where did that cute and lively Xiao Yu go? I was chatting happily with Xiao Yu just yesterday, why is she like this now...?

The stinging sensation in her nose made He Xue rub the tip of her nose, but before she could rub it, the tears she had finally managed to stop started flowing again.

"You did nothing wrong. I've said it before, I only became your friend because I thought you were funny."

"And the way I am now is the most authentic version of myself, if you really want to know why."

"Hmm, let me think about it."

Han Yu rested her chin on her hand, feigning deep thought as she pondered the matter.

After thinking for a moment, Han Yu tapped his palm and smiled.

"I can only say that I have lost the desire to explore He Xue. You have no longer aroused my interest, He Xue."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that I'm tired, I don't want to play anymore, the game is over."

Han Yu made a heart shape with her hands towards He Xue, then walked around He Xue and slowly left the classroom.

He Xue was left standing alone, at a loss.

Snap...

The sound of something being snapped slowly echoed in the suddenly quiet classroom.

Wu Liang, clutching the broken pen in her hand, stared at Han Yu as she left with a gloomy expression. She had gone too far.

"Wu Liang, I think I understand how you feel."

Nan Zhu frowned and looked at He Xue with a serious expression.

I never imagined that He Xue had been living in such a high-pressure environment all along.

Since that's the case, then he's definitely going to help Wu Liang with this favor!

Not long after Han Yu left the classroom, He Xue also left the room, looking distraught.

As everyone gradually witnessed He Xue leaving the classroom, the previously quiet atmosphere was instantly ignited.

The boys and girls who had been watching the show suddenly burst into a lively discussion about what had just happened, like boiling water.

Why would Han Yu, who usually has a good relationship with He Xue, suddenly say such things?

Those two people had always had a very good relationship, so why did they suddenly break up as if they had a complete falling out?

Han Yu not only failed to help He Xue out of the predicament, but instead added insult to injury by mocking He Xue.

Could it be true, as they suspected, that the relationship between Han Yu and He Xue has already broken down?

He Xue has now lost her last support, and even her closest friends have left.

Buzzing...

The incessant chattering was like a swarm of flies buzzing around his ears, which annoyed Wu Liang.

In this class where everyone treated He Xue as an outsider, no one was willing to lend He Xue a helping hand.

Han Yu, the only one willing to help He Xue, did so merely to take advantage of He Xue, or perhaps out of pure interest.

The scene where He Xue is ostracized is something that cannot be seen in the original game.

After all, in the original game, the harassment and infatuation of He Xue by the villains and thugs made He Xue quite famous in the Huihuangxing Academy.

Therefore, even though He Xue's status was very low in the original game, the existence of the villainous young master Wu Liang forced others to respect He Xue.

After all, in the original work, Wu Liang was very infatuated with and in love with He Xue.

If anyone dares to bully He Xue, they'll probably be beaten to a pulp by Wu Liang on the spot.
