Chapter 109

Later, the Nan Zhu, who was surrounded by the protagonist's halo, appeared by He Xue's side and competed with Wu Liang for He Xue's affections.

With these two powerful figures locked in a fierce battle, not only would no one dare to bully He Xue, but people would even want to treat her like an aunt and worship her.

Even in the original game, many people wanted to get to know Wu Liang and Nan Zhu through He Xue.

However, the current storyline is clearly quite different from the game.

Not only did Wu Liang not admire or fall in love with He Xue, but even the Nan Zhu later ignored her.

Han Yu has now broken ties with He Xue, and He Xue has lost all protection, so it's normal for her to be bullied.

After all, in this Huihuangxing Academy, those without status or position are ordinary people who are easily pushed to the forefront of controversy.

"Wu Liang, why did you stop me just now?"

"Wasn't He Xue very helpless just now? And you were obviously quite agitated too. You wanted to help He Xue, right?"

After glancing around at the laughing classmates, Nan Zhu turned her gaze back to Wu Liang's face.

Just now, when He Xue was being bullied, he clearly sensed Wu Liang's dissatisfaction.

He clearly disapproved of the girls' behavior, but just as he was about to step in to help,

Wu Liang managed to suppress his anger and even stepped in to stop him.

Why is that? Wu Liang was clearly angry about it, so why did he stop him?

"She can't live under someone else's protection forever. She used to have Han Yu's protection, so she wasn't bullied by outsiders."

"But after losing Han Yu as a protector, He Xue became the target of everyone's criticism."

"She's too fragile. She's not even as good as Ning Shuang at handling stress. Overprotecting her will only make her weaker."

Wu Liang shook his head and said calmly.

He had indeed intended to help He Xue, but he quickly remembered Ning Shuang from the past.

He Xue now is actually very similar to Ning Shuang in the past; both are in a state of great torment.

But Ning Shuang has now made it through and is actively facing the challenges.

But He Xue is different; He Xue has always lived under Han Yu's protection.

They are much more vulnerable after losing their shelter and are easily injured.

Although it was easy for him to want to help her avoid being bullied by others, it actually harmed He Xue.

"She can't live under someone else's protection forever; she has to grow up eventually."

Wu Liang touched his nose. Yes, this situation might be an insurmountable challenge for He Xue right now.

However, if He Xue can persevere under these circumstances, her mental state will undergo a qualitative improvement.

A person who only knows how to live under the protection of others is not even as good as a piece of trash.

If I had helped He Xue back then, it wouldn't have helped He Xue's growth in the slightest.

"Besides, given the situation at the time, He Xue probably wouldn't want us to help her."

Wu Liang stood up and looked towards the door.

This wasn't because he was cowardly or unwilling to help He Xue, but because he hoped He Xue could face setbacks on her own.

If He Xue is truly a female protagonist who only waits for others to help her, then it can only be said that He Xue is nothing special.

"So Wu Liang, you've thought this far ahead."

"No... I'm sorry... I misunderstood you..."

Nan Zhu blushed immediately after hearing Wu Liang's explanation.

At first, he actually thought that Wu Liang was cold-hearted and unwilling to help He Xue.

It's quite embarrassing that Wu Liang had such profound and long-term plans; how could he not have thought of that?

"There's no misunderstanding or anything, after all, the choice is yours."

"I actually have no right to stop you, but perhaps because of a bit of my own selfish desire, I wanted to see a different He Xue, so..."

Wu Liang smiled helplessly; he really shouldn't have stopped Nan Zhu.

After all, in that tense situation, if Nan Zhu could stand on He Xue's side, the distance between the two would naturally be shortened.

But because of his own selfish desires, he prevented Nan Zhu and He Xue from getting to know each other. What a tragedy...

It was clearly the perfect opportunity to bring Nan Zhu and He Xue together, but he "accidentally" ruined it.

However, life is full of opportunities, Nan Zhu doesn't necessarily have to use the opportunity of getting out of trouble to get to know He Xue.

It's not a big problem. As long as Nan Zhu can successfully persuade He Xue, the distance between the two of them will be shortened.

It's just a different way of contacting He Xue, but the outcome won't change.

Whether it's Nan Zhu helping He Xue out of a predicament or Nan Zhu giving He Xue advice, the result will be that He Xue's affection for Nan Zhu will increase.

Hmm... maybe...

"Wu Liang, you are even gentler than I thought."

Nan Zhu stared at Wu Liang in shock.

He hadn't thought that far ahead; he simply couldn't stand the girls' behavior and wanted to help them.

But Wu Liang actually saw He Xue's future, a long-term vision that he himself had never possessed.

Upon careful consideration, Wu Liang's words are indeed correct; He Xue is indeed quite vulnerable right now.

If she always lives in a situation where she is helped by others, she will naturally be unable to grow.

Therefore, Wu Liang hoped that He Xue could face these difficulties without relying on the help of others, so that she would no longer be so fragile.

Wu Liang truly lived up to his admiration; his erudition and almost prophetic abilities filled him with awe.

"Alright, you should probably go after her and check on her. Don't let her suffer alone for too long."

Wu Liang patted Nan Zhu on the shoulder, indicating that it was time for Nan Zhu to go after them and take a look.

He Xue is still very vulnerable as she has just left the protection of others. Hopefully, Nan Zhu can give her some guidance.

Come on, Nan Zhu! As long as you can successfully enter He Xue's heart, your relationship will skyrocket.

If your affection level really does skyrocket, then all my hard work over the years won't have been in vain!

Don't disappoint me, Nan Zhu. I've gone to great lengths to match you and He Xue up.

My assist was practically hitting you in the face, so you can't let me down at this crucial moment...

"Okay, I definitely won't let you down."

Nan Zhu patted his chest confidently and said.

It will definitely get through; he will definitely convey Wu Liang's feelings to He Xue.

Wu Liang had gone to such lengths for He Xue, and even he was deeply moved by Wu Liang's deep affection.

He absolutely couldn't mess this up; even if it cost him his life, he was determined to bring these two people together.

I will be the one to judge the girl who could make Wu Liang go to such lengths.

Whether you are suitable to be Wu Liang's partner or not, let me, Nan Zhu, be the witness to this love storm!

"Go for it!" ×2

Wu Liang and the male protagonist's hands clashed violently together.

"I absolutely have to bring you two together" x2

Wu Liang and Nan Zhu looked at each other with serious expressions, silently murmuring to themselves.

This is the one opportunity we absolutely cannot miss; it will be a fierce romantic whirlwind.

This will be a massive storm affecting Wu Liang and Nan Zhu's relationship.

"Then I'm off. Wait for my good news."

Nan Zhu took a deep breath and gave Wu Liang a bright smile.

As one of Wu Liang's few friends, it would be his greatest honor to act as a matchmaker for Wu Liang and He Xue.

Although he had never been a matchmaker before, he was willing to give it a try for Wu Liang's sake.

"Okay, I'll wait for your triumphant return."

Wu Liang nodded; now it was up to Nan Zhu to show his skills.

However, this is a piece of cake for Nan Zhu. If you ask why, it's because Nan Zhu is the male protagonist of this game.

Have you ever seen a female lead that the male lead can't handle? No, right?

"The next thing to do is deal with Han Yu's side."

Looking at Nan Zhu, who had already rushed out of the classroom, Wu Liang's face showed a satisfied smile.

Nan Zhu tries to persuade He Xue, while he needs to deal with Han Yu's situation.

Ding-dong

Wu Liang woke up the screen and looked at the message that had been sent to him.

It was a message from Ning Shuang, and it sounded very urgent.

"Wu Liang, I saw Han Yu, and three other girls from your class too. I feel like something's off. Come over and take a look."

Ning Shuang's message read like this...

Chapter 52: The Young Lady Yearning for True Love

"That guy is still as unpleasant to look at as ever, Miss Lian, don't you think so?"

"I really don't know where He Xue, a woman of such lowly status, got the courage to stand in front of you, Miss Lian."

The girl who had stepped on He Xue's foot earlier looked respectfully at the blonde girl who was resting on the bench.

She had deliberately stepped on He Xue's foot earlier in the hopes that Miss Lian would praise her.

"That's right, that's right. How dare they make Miss Lian feel unhappy? They have a lot of nerve."

"But that woman no longer has anyone to back her up. Even He Xue, who used to like to hang out with her, isn't speaking up for her anymore."

"Those two must have broken up. Humph, I knew their relationship couldn't be good."

Another girl chimed in, saying that she had also been annoyed with He Xue for a long time.

She usually presents herself as a well-behaved girl, and with her pretty face, she has won over a large number of boys.

I really don't know if those guys are blind, how could they fall for such a tasteless girl?

Moreover, Wu Liang and Classmate Nanzhu seem quite interested in He Xue. Why is that?

She's just a little bit cute, not particularly pretty, so why are those two people so concerned about He Xue?

It's so infuriating. She's just an ugly duckling, why does she get all the good things?

"Have you two said enough? I already said I came out to rest, didn't I?"

"Are you two going to keep grumbling here forever? Do I really need you to tell me this kind of thing?"

Miao Lian, her golden hair cascading down her front, looked at the two people in front of her with displeasure.

Did she really need these two to remind her of something like this? They're such talkative people.

But she had to admit that He Xue was indeed very outstanding, at least much more outstanding than her.

That's why she felt jealous of He Xue and felt extremely irritated whenever she saw her.

She is beautiful and academically outstanding, making her well-liked by others, and attracting the attention of both Wu Liang and Nan Zhu.

He Xue is like God's favorite, receiving everyone's attention. Why can't she be the same?

In front of He Xue, she became a dull and lackluster clown, completely unnoticed.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I just wanted to complain."

"We didn't mean anything by it, we just simply can't stand He Xue."
