Chapter 111

"You don't need to care whether I'm sticking up for He Xue or not. I'm just a little annoyed by you all."

"Even if that child becomes all alone, I am the only one who can bully and hurt that child."

Han Yu reached out her small hand and placed it on Miao Lian's cheek to straighten her head.

A deep sense of morbidity flowed beneath his smiling eyes, and a thin slit appeared at the corner of his slightly smiling mouth.

Even though she has now abandoned He Xue, she is still her own toy.

He doesn't care how much he wants to ruin He Xue, but he absolutely cannot accept He Xue being tainted by someone else.

"I... I understand..."

Miao Lian swallowed hard to soothe her dry throat.

Han Yu is a madwoman, and the other party is completely insane.

This woman didn't treat Han Yu as a friend at all; she only treated him as a toy.

"Alright, I've said my piece, so I'll take my leave now."

"Lian and her puppies, rest here. Bye-bye~"

Han Yu released her hands from Miao Lian's, jumped back a few steps, and smiled slightly.

After simply waving goodbye to Miao Lian, he skipped away.

Miao Lian, whose back was already soaked with cold sweat, her face pale and her legs trembling slightly, was left sitting on the bench, seemingly lost in thought.

The other two girls standing to one side dared not speak out in anger and could only watch helplessly as Han Yu left.

After all, Miss Lian forbade them to speak, and they couldn't disobey her wishes.

"Miss Lian! That woman is too arrogant..."

Watching Han Yu's receding figure, one of the girls finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He hurriedly walked to Miao Lian's side, pointing angrily at Han Yu as she left.

But before she could finish speaking, the second half of her sentence got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter it.

Looking at Miao Lian, who suddenly seemed to have lost her soul, she didn't even know what expression to make at this moment.

What on earth happened? Why did Han Yu's mere whispering in Miss Lian's ear cause her to react like this?

"Miss Lian... are you alright...?"

After hesitating for a while, the girl moved her lips and asked with some worry...

.

"Han Yu... what is she thinking...?"

"He treated He Xue as a dispensable toy, and manipulated her feelings at will, even going so far as to deceive He Xue by pretending to be his true self."

"I initially thought Han Yu didn't take He Xue seriously at all, but now..."

Ning Shuang, crouching in the corner of the bushes, looked at the girls in front of her with a complicated expression.

She had witnessed everything that had happened, especially the initial conversation between Han Yu and the blonde girl, which she remembered clearly.

Han Yu was obviously there to warn these girls, but hadn't Han Yu already broken up with He Xue? Why was he speaking up for He Xue again?

"A woman's possessiveness."

Wu Liang lay on the lawn with his eyes closed, biting on a flower branch.

Opening his eyes and looking at the azure sky, Wu Liang spat out the flower branch in his mouth and sat up.

Even though Han Yu abandoned He Xue, she still considered He Xue to be something that belonged to her.

Wu Liang brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and he roughly understood what kind of person Han Yu was.

This is a woman who is extremely morbid and possessive.

"How can you forget more than a year of time spent together?"

"Even if the friendship at the beginning was fake, it eventually became mixed with some genuine feelings."

Wu Liang's gaze fell in the direction Han Yu had left.

Even Han Yu herself may not realize that, in her subconscious, He Xue has become a very important and irreplaceable figure to her.

"You mean...? Actually Han Yu's feelings for He Xue..."

Ning Shuang blinked her big eyes and looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Who knows? I'm not Han Yu."

Wu Liang smiled.

Chapter 54: The Nan Zhu's Verbal Barrage (Bonus Chapter 15/32 for Monthly Tickets)

He Xue sat in a daze in the corner of the pavilion, her thoughts a jumbled mess deep in her mind.

She didn't know what to do or what to say.

Xiao Yu's denial and rejection hit her heart like a heavy hammer.

Her heart, as pure as crystal, was shattered by Han Yu's verbal assault.

His empty eyes held not a glimmer of light, as dark and stagnant as a pool of still water.

The tears stopped flowing from her red and swollen eyes, but they were left with scratches.

It looked like it had been rubbed hard, and there were even some blood vessels around the corners of its eyes.

Her pale face was filled with despair and loneliness as He Xue sat there in a daze.

Recalling the bits and pieces that happened during the year or so that I knew Han Yu.

The laughter between her and Xiao Yu was all fake, and even the personality that Xiao Yu showed in front of her was fake.

At this moment, He Xue couldn't distinguish between falsehood and reality. Han Yu's image in her mind was like a piece of glass riddled with cracks.

She simply placed her finger lightly on the glass, and Han Yu's image shattered into countless fragments.

The innocent and naive Han Yu she knew was merely a facade, a pretense used by Han Yu to deceive her.

The real Han Yu was someone she knew nothing about; she was a stranger as cold and ruthless as a venomous snake.

Even though she and Xiao Yu had been together for over a year, she failed to notice another side of Xiao Yu.

"In a sense, I'm actually quite terrible."

He Xue hugged her somewhat cold body and said with a self-deprecating tone.

She's so oblivious! She couldn't even see Xiao Yu's other side. Why is she so terrible?

Even though Xiao Yu was hiding the truth, she didn't notice it at all.

Is it fair to say that Xiao Yu's acting was flawless, or that she was simply too stupid?

"Did they become my friend because they found it amusing that I was all alone...?"

A forlorn smile appeared on He Xue's lips.

The reason Xiao Yu became her friend was simply because she was ostracized by others, or simply because she looked funny all alone...

Is this Xiao Yu's act of charity? Did Xiao Yu become friends with me out of pity?

"A year has passed, and I can no longer arouse Xiao Yu's interest, so I feel annoyed by it."

"I've gotten tired of playing the best friend game, so Xiao Yu stopped hiding her true feelings, dropped her pretense, and abandoned me."

He Xue looked a bit like a kitten abandoned next to a trash can.

Alone, ignored and misunderstood by everyone, pitiful.

Even so, no one was willing to give her a second glance or lend her a helping hand.

"I've already humbled myself to this extent, so what's the use of studying hard?"

"I've already lost my only friend. What's the point of achieving better results here, even if I'm always first in my grade?"

He Xue opened her small mouth and bit her wrist hard, trying to suppress her grievances. Why was it always her who encountered this kind of thing?

Should she never have come to this so-called Huihuangxing Academy in the first place?

This is not an academy that someone of her status can fit into; her family background is simply not suitable for this place.

This kind of academy, filled with wealthy families, is simply not suitable for the daughter of a small business owner like her. Not only will she not be able to make friends, but she will also be isolated and treated coldly.

No matter how outstanding or excellent her grades are, it's useless. She's had enough and doesn't want to continue anymore.

"No one can understand me..."

"No! There is someone who really wants to understand you, help you, and care for you, but you just haven't noticed his presence."

A clear, melodious male voice suddenly rang out behind He Xue.

It looked as if they had been standing there observing for a long time.

Nan Zhu sighed heavily, stepped into the pavilion, and sat down on the bench next to He Xue.

"Who are you..."

He Xue was startled by the male voice that suddenly rang out beside her.

She quickly covered her cheeks, not wanting the other person to see her in such a disheveled state.

The tear stains on her face hadn't faded yet; if others saw them, they would surely laugh at her again.

"Well, we're classmates after all."

"Although I only transferred here a few days ago, He Xue, you don't have any impression of me at all, do you?"

Nan Zhu scratched his face awkwardly, He Xue didn't recognize him at all.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be awkward? Would he then have to introduce himself?

"You're Wu Liang's friend... Nan... Classmate Nanzhu, right...?"

He Xue took out a wet wipe from her pocket and wiped the tears from her face.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the pent-up emotions in her heart, and looked at the boy in front of her.

She had some impression of this boy; this boy named Nan Zhu was one of Wu Liang's few good friends.

Nan Zhu was also the first boy in her memory to gain Wu Liang's approval and become her friend in just two days.

"Oh, it's so nice that you remembered me."

"Well then He Xue, I'm Nan Zhu. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Nan Zhu placed his hand on his forehead and gave He Xue a simple greeting again.

This is He Xue, the classmate Wu Liang cares about. In fact, he had already been secretly observing He Xue before.

He Xue is indeed a refined and beautiful girl, both in appearance and academic performance.

But he still couldn't quite understand why Wu Liang would go to such lengths for He Xue.

To put it bluntly, He Xue looks like just an ordinary pretty girl.

There are many beautiful girls in this Huihuangxing Academy, so why did Wu Liang choose to fall for her?

"Yes, it's nice to meet you. Is there something you need?"

He Xue lowered her head and spoke softly.

She didn't want to talk to the boy in front of her, but she was in a very bad mood.

She might not be able to communicate normally with Nan Zhu right now, after all, she...

"He Xue, I must apologize to you first. I'm sorry that I overheard your conversation with Han Yu in the corner earlier."

"I don't mean anything by it. Actually, I only have one purpose in coming here: I hope you can listen to me for a few words."

Nan Zhu sensed that He Xue didn't want to talk much, so he got straight to the point.
