Chapter 112

Just as Wu Liang had predicted, He Xue was currently going through a period of extreme emotional depression.

If you provoke her at this time, she may suffer an even greater blow.

To truly liberate He Xue as Wu Liang suggested, it's essential to make her understand that she is not alone...

"Perhaps Classmate Nanzhu is a very gentle person, and wanted to comfort me after seeing that scene."

"But I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll have to take my leave now."

He Xue smiled gently and bowed slightly to Nan Zhu.

Just as she thought, Classmate Nanzhu was a very gentle person.

But she's not in the mood to chat with anyone right now; she just wants to be alone.

"He Xue! Please wait a moment, I can't let you leave here right now."

"It's just a few words, only three or four sentences, but I want you to hear them."

Seeing that He Xue was about to leave, Nan Zhu He Xue in front of her and stopped her.

We can't back down, Nan Zhu! We absolutely can't back down!! This is a matter of utmost importance concerning Wu Liang's life.

Even if you have to use brute force, you have to keep He Xue here!

"Classmate Nanzhu, I'm tired..."

He Xue frowned as she looked at the Nan Zhu blocking her way.

Why be so persistent? Can't the Nan Zhu see that he doesn't want to communicate with anyone at all right now?

She no longer wanted to have any further interaction with these scions of wealthy families; it would only make her feel more uncomfortable.

"He Xue, you are not alone. There are people who have always been by your side."

Even though you hate him, even though you despise him, even though you treat him like a clown, he has never left your side.

Nan Zhu took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

He learned from the Rat that Wu Liang used to be very infatuated with He Xue.

Wu Liang used to be a petty thug who would relentlessly harass He Xue and would even act like a villain to provoke her.

He would even ambush He Xue on the way and follow her, making him a truly annoying character.

But Nan Zhu knew that Wu Liang was definitely not the kind of scoundrel; he understood Wu Liang's character very well.

Based on his understanding of Wu Liang was definitely using some special method to highlight his presence.

The reason why Wu Liang harassed He Xue in that way, and why he pretended to be utterly wicked.

That was just to let He Xue that he had always been by her side.

Whether in joy or sorrow, Wu Liang was always the one who cared most about He Xue.

"His attention to you even surpasses that of Han Yu. His previous nasty behavior was just to attract your attention."

"But he later realized that his approach would only make you dislike him more, distance yourself from him, and feel disgusted with him."

Seeing He Xue's eyes widen even more, Nan Zhu said meaningfully.

He knew that Wu Liang had only been using a clown-like persona to impress He Xue.

But Wu Liang has grown up now, and he knows that doing so would be pointless.

"However, he now knows that his previous extreme actions hurt you, and he feels very guilty about it."

"You've probably noticed it by now; he's changed a lot. He's no longer as crazy as before and has become himself again."

"He won't even appear in front of you like before anymore, because he's afraid you'll hate him."

He Xue stared blankly at Nan Zhu, who had a serious expression on his face but had uttered such cheesy words.

For a moment, I couldn't decide what kind of expression to make.

He Xue naturally knew who the "he "the Nan Zhu was talking about was, but was the truth really as the Nan Zhu said?

Was he just doing those things to show he was around? But Wu Liang also sexually harassed her...

"He no longer appears before you as a clown."

"But he was watching you all the time, during class, after class, during PE break, and even when you were in the classroom earlier."

Nan Zhu's lips curled into a bitter smile, and a hint of helplessness slowly crept onto his handsome face.

With an expression of utter helplessness, Wu Liang, you're far too infatuated.

"In order to get your attention, he pretended to be a clown for a year, just to protect you."

"But at that time he didn't realize that you would get tired of him like that, and he foolishly continued to do it."

"He Xue, think about it carefully. Isn't everything he did just to get your attention...?"

Nan Zhu lowered his hands and stepped aside to He Xue.

He had said everything he wanted to say. If He Xue still couldn't understand Wu Liang after hearing this story...

Then he was at a loss. He Xue was the first person to make Wu Liang go to such lengths.

That arrogant and aloof Wu Liang was actually able to make such a huge sacrifice for He Xue...

"I... I still can't believe that everything you're saying is true..."

"But..."

He Xue was somewhat bewildered after listening to Nan Zhu's story.

The "he" that Nan Zhu mentioned was undoubtedly Wu Liang. Could it be that everything Wu Liang did before was to attract her attention?

Wu Liang's previous harassment and flirting with her were all just to get her to look at him more.

No... it's impossible... this is absolutely unacceptable...

"But... but Wu Liang really didn't do anything more outrageous..."

He Xue tried hard to recall what Wu Liang had done to her during that year.

Thinking about it carefully, Wu Liang didn't actually do anything too outrageous; on the contrary, his childish harassment made her feel quite amused.

"He Xue, look at Wu Liang now, and then think about what Wu Liang used to be like."

"Do you really think a brainless thug could change so much in just a few days?"

Nan Zhu sat on a bench on one side and spoke earnestly.

"I..."

He Xue murmured, somewhat bewildered.

Nan Zhu was absolutely right. If Wu Liang were truly a clown, how could he have become such a darling of the public in such a short time?

Could it be that Wu Liang, as Nan Zhu said, only acted out of a desire to get her attention, which is why he went to such lengths to play that comedic role...?

"He Xue, to put it simply, the reason I asked you to chat was actually Wu Liang's idea."

"The murderous intent he exuded when he saw you being bullied even terrified me."

"He cares about you so much, but he is too insecure to get close to you, simply because he is afraid that you will hate him."

Nan Zhu looked at He Xue's delicate face and spoke earnestly.

This is all he can do for Wu Liang.

Whether or not He Xue believes everything he says is entirely up to her.

"I..."

He Xue clenched her fists and bit her lip, her heart pounding at a rapid pace.

The warmth is like the afterglow of the sun shining into the darkest corner of the heart.

Considering Wu Liang's recent behavior and what he said earlier in the infirmary.

Could it be that she really misunderstood Wu Liang before?

Could it be that Wu Liang really only did that to make her pay more attention to him...?

"Tsk... why hasn't Nan Zhu returned yet..."

Wu Liang, who had already returned to the classroom and sat down again, was somewhat puzzled.

It's been a while since Nan Zhu left, why hasn't that kid come back yet?

Could it be that some kind of unexpected event occurred that prevented it from being resolved properly?

Also, why does my right eyelid keep twitching? A twitching left eyelid means good fortune, while a twitching right eyelid means bad luck. Does this mean something bad is going to happen?

Wu Liang touched his wildly twitching right eyelid and trembled his right leg, glancing at the doorway every now and then.

Almost fifteen minutes have passed since Nan Zhu went to look for He Xue. Where on earth has he gone?

"Boss? Why do you seem so nervous?"

The Rat carried the stool over to Wu Liang and sat down next to him.

He had long felt that his boss was acting strangely; why would his usually calm boss suddenly show such a tense and anxious expression?

"Well, it's nothing serious."

Wu Liang pressed his right eye and said calmly, "But speaking of which, it seems that Rat and Nan Zhu have been getting quite close lately."

When did these two become so close? How come he didn't notice at all?

"Hey boss, do you know where Nan Zhu went? I have something I want to give him."

"I just saw him, but he disappeared in a flash."

As if a little embarrassed, the Rat scratched the back of its head shyly.

He had originally planned to invite Nan Zhu to his house to play games this week.

However, due to a sudden family emergency, this week's plans have to be postponed.

I always felt really bad for Nan Zhu, since Nan Zhu was really looking forward to going to his house to play video games.

And this was the first time someone had volunteered to go to his house, so the Rat was very happy.

Unfortunately, all the time was piled up at once, so I can only apologize to Nan Zhu first.

"..."

Wu Liang stared at the Rat in front of him, who looked as shy as a young girl in the throes of first love, his face full of black lines.

He grabbed the Rat by the collar and pulled it close to his eyes to examine it closely.

Wu Liang rubbed his eyes vigorously, and after confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, his eyes twitched slightly.

They've only known each other for a few days? And if I remember correctly, the Rat was initially quite resistant to Nan Zhu, wasn't it?

It seems like just two days ago, the Rat couldn't stand the Nan Zhu, but today it's shyly inviting the bamboo to its home.

"As expected of the male lead... he's so swift in conquering even men..."

Wu Liang loosened the Rat's collar, crossed his arms, and pondered.

As expected of Nan Zhu, he certainly has some skills.

He had initially thought that Nan Zhu were only irresistible to women, but judging from the current situation, he underestimated Nan Zhu.

Surprisingly, even men couldn't resist the charm of Nan Zhu, and even Rat were directly captivated.

However, this also proves that Nan Zhu's charm is indeed very strong, so he has nothing to worry about.

It's the best and correct choice to let Nan Zhu handle He Xue's affairs. Judging from the timeline, Nan Zhu should be almost done as well.

That's good.
