Chapter 117

Moreover, Wu Liang's harassment of her over the past year was merely an attempt to leave a deep impression on her.

Wu Liang was willing to play the clown simply because he wanted to get his attention.

And this performance lasted for almost a year.

"What Nan Zhu said?"

"I understand, but let's talk about this in a quieter place."

Wu Liang quickly realized He Xue meant.

Perhaps He Xue is not yet able to accept the Nan Zhu so quickly.

That's probably why I came to ask about myself, who has a good relationship with the Nan Zhu.

However, this is quite normal, after all, this is the first time Nan Zhu and He Xue have met.

It's understandable that He Xue would doubt what Nan Zhu said; it would be strange if she fell in love with him on the first date.

But Nan Zhu is really something, making such a deep impression on He Xue on their first meeting.

The fact that Nan Zhu could calm He Xue down in such a short time shows how incredibly skilled he is at using his words.

However, it was precisely because of this that Wu Liang became slightly curious about what Nan Zhu and He Xue had talked about.

What kind of topic could have made He Xue cheer up so quickly?

"Okay, let's talk somewhere else."

Looking at Wu Liang, who had regained his composure, He Xue spoke softly.

Even when someone knows the secret deep in his heart, he can remain so calm. Is this the true nature of Wu Liang?

Sure enough, Wu Liang's villainous and thuggish demeanor over the past year was all an act.

Whether it's maliciously harassing her or committing some heinous acts in the academy, it's all just to get her attention.

However, she failed to grasp Wu Liang's true meaning and simply assumed he was a jerk.

Actually, if you think about what Classmate Nanzhu said carefully, you can understand it.

If Wu Liang really is a heinous villain.

How could he have grown to his current state in less than a week?

Over the past year... she may have really misunderstood Wu Liang...

The rooftop of the teaching building

"So, you still can't believe that what Nan Zhu told you is true, is that right?"

After the two arrived on the rooftop, Wu Liang leaned against the railing and smiled faintly.

Although He Xue still has some doubts, judging from the other party's current appearance, she knows that he has already believed most of it.

Very nice!

He was increasingly impressed by Nan Zhu's verbal skills; if he had even half of Nan Zhu's ability, he wouldn't be struggling to find a girlfriend.

"Yes, I still can't believe it, so I want to ask you in person."

"Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for me, even if it means being looked down upon or misunderstood by others?"

He Xue bit her lip. Was it really worth it for Wu Liang to pretend to be a thug for a year for her sake?

During that year, Wu Liang's reputation and social standing were extremely poor.

At that time, Wu Liang was like Rat in the street, and no one could accept Wu Liang.

Even Wu Liang, whom she disliked from the bottom of her heart without knowing the truth at the time.

"Is there even a question? It's definitely necessary."

Even if I'm looked down upon, even if I'm scorned, I still want to protect you from being bullied.

"There's no need for a reason. If you really have to ask why, then it's just because I like it."

Wu Liang turned around and looked at the azure sky on the horizon.

He knew what He Xue was worried about; she was just afraid that Nan Zhu would be implicated if he helped her.

After all, in those people's eyes, He Xue was just an ordinary person of low status.

If Nan Zhu really wanted to stand by He Xue's side regardless of everything, he would probably be isolated and rejected just like He Xue.

But who is Nan Zhu? He's the male lead, and the protagonist's halo isn't just for show.

"If he were to abandon protecting you simply because he's afraid of being looked down upon, then he would be far too weak."

Wu Liang chuckled softly. Nan Zhu was definitely not the kind of man who would give up easily.

If anyone were to bully Nan Zhu and He Xue, he would be able to help them.

His contact with He Xue may only be the beginning for Nan Zhu, but there will definitely be no obstacles on the road ahead.

I will do my best.

"To protect me..."

He Xue stared blankly at Wu Liang, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Thinking about it carefully, wasn't Wu Liang protecting her in an extreme way before?

Before she became friends with Han Yu, it was because Wu Liang constantly teased and harassed her.

Because everyone in the class knew about Wu Liang 'Wu Liang background, they were afraid of him.

That's why she wasn't ostracized, isolated, or looked down upon by her classmates. Why didn't she realize this at the time?

"Wu Liang, I actually have feelings for you..."

He Xue clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

She misunderstood Wu Liang; she hadn't seen through Wu Liang's true feelings at all.

Throughout the year Wu Liang, who didn't hesitate to play the clown and risk being disliked by the entire college, had to respond to the other person with genuine feelings.

'Jingle bells~ jingle bells~ jingle all the way~'

A somewhat familiar telephone ring suddenly sounded on the rooftop...

Chapter 62: He Jingao Awakens (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 21/32)

'Jingle bells~ jingle bells~ jingle all the way~'

A somewhat familiar telephone ring suddenly sounded above the rooftop.

He took out his phone from his pocket, and the caller ID showed Yao Shi's name.

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow. Yao Shi was very well-behaved; she rarely contacted him while he was at school.

"Hello, it's me."

Wu Liang answered the phone. What happened to Yao Shi?

Otherwise, given Yao Shi's personality, the other party definitely wouldn't have called him at this time.

Young master, is it convenient for you to talk now?

Yao Shi's clear, cool voice came through the microphone.

Cold and emotionless.

But Yao Shi's indifferent voice was even less emotional than that of a machine customer service representative.

"It's nothing, go ahead and tell me."

Wu Liang turned his head and glanced at He Xue, who was standing there in a daze, before walking to the corner of the wall.

I am currently at the First Private Hospital. Mr. He Jingao woke up not long ago.

"Hmm? He's already awake? Isn't that good news?"

Wu Liang glanced at He Xue not far away; she had finally woken up.

In this way, He Xue no longer needs to worry about this matter.

Yes, this is indeed good news for Ms. He Xue.

But young master, this might not be a good thing for you.

"What's the meaning."

Wu Liang's question was not a good thing for him.

He sought out Doctor Li Hua to save He Jingao and also comforted He Xue's wavering heart by posing as Mr. KFC.

If he hadn't helped He Xue calm down earlier, how could Nan Zhu He Xue have persuaded her so easily today?

It's not just a win-win situation, it's a triple win, so why isn't it a good thing for him?

Mr. He Jingao has already heard the whole story from He Xue's father.

[They also learned that his rescue was entirely due to the young master and Doctor Li Hua.]

[Afterwards, He Jingao inquired in detail about the young master from He Feng, including his manner of speaking, physique, and appearance.]

"So what?"

The more Wu Liang listened, the more his brows furrowed.

An ominous premonition was rising from the depths of his heart.

A cold, venomous snake crawled up to the back of his neck, its scarlet forked tongue flicking as it licked his skin.

Wu Liang felt his heart tremble three times, and his legs felt a little stiff.

[Mr. He Jingao is now strongly requesting to see you, young master.]

Yao Shi's words blew into the depths of Wu Liang's heart like a cold wind.

He Jingao wants to see him? Why? Why would an old man who has just woken up suddenly make such a request?

Normally, the person He Jingao most wants to see right now should be his beloved granddaughter He Xue.

Why did this old man ask me about things the moment he woke up, and why was he so eager to see me?

"Young Master, Mr. He Jingao said he knows who you are."

He wants to speak with you in person out of gratitude; that's all he wants.

These are Mr. He Jingao's exact words, young master. Are you available now?

"..."

Wu Liang fell silent. He Jingao know who he was?

An elderly man who had just woken up from a long coma guessed He Feng's identity after hearing his brief description.

Young master, if you don't want to see him, you can refuse now...

"Take me to the hospital, I want to see him."

Wu Liang lowered his voice and looked at He Xue was still curiously observing the scene.

What's going on...? Why does He Xue seem completely unaware that He Jingao has already woken up...?

Something's not right. He Jingao didn't contact He Xue immediately after waking up.

Instead, it was Yao Shi who contacted him first? And from Yao Shi's words, it can be inferred that He Jingao has been awake for some time.

But He Feng did not contact He Xue, as if he deliberately did not want her to know.

[Young master, you may proceed to the school gate now.]

Yao Shi's soft voice seemed to contain a hint of laughter.

Compared to the previous indifference, this sentence was clearly more emotional.

Although it is rather cold and aloof, it is exceptionally melodious and moving.

"What? You're still...?"
