As if trying hard to remember something, Ning Shuang rested her chin on her chest and bit on a lollipop with a deeply pensive look.
Nan Qingshui was a surprisingly familiar name, and she felt like she had heard it somewhere before.
Yet when she thought about it carefully, she could not recall it right away. Just where had she heard it...
"Is Qingshui very famous at the academy?"
Hearing this, Nan Zhu froze as well. It looked like his younger sister was having a rather good time here.
However, his sister had always been very well-behaved, and he had not expected her to be so popular at school.
"Your sister is far more than just popular at school."
Wu Liang rested his chin on his hand and gazed coldly at Nan Qingshui. Don't let this girl's pretty face fool you.
Her personality was a massive headache, and based purely on the number of pranks she had pulled at the academy, Nan Qingshui had happily earned the title of "Prank Master".
"Qingshui, didn't you say you were very well-behaved at school?"
Through Wu Liang's gaze, Nan Zhu had already guessed most of the truth about Nan Qingshui and furrowed his brows slightly.
Had this girl been lying to him all this time? As expected, he should not have believed her nonsense.
"I am very well-behaved, during class."
Nan Qingshui shrugged indifferently. She had not lied to her older brother about anything; she really was very well-behaved during class.
She never made any little movements during lessons, nor did she whisper to other classmates.
She simply closed her eyes, stretched out her legs, and obediently slept all the way until class was over.
"You girl, how am I supposed to explain this to Mom and Dad in heaven?"
Nan Zhu slammed a hand onto the table and shouted sternly.
Before they left, Mom and Dad's biggest worry was Qingshui, which was why he took such painstaking care of her, terrified that she would turn into an uneducated child.
Yet he never expected that Qingshui's well-behaved facade at home was completely fake, and that this child had been lying to him all along.
"If you don't know anything, then stop lecturing me here!"
Hearing the male lead bring up their long-deceased mom and dad, Nan Qingshui was furious.
She glared at Nan Zhu, dropped those words, and ran straight out of the courtyard.
"Ah... you made your sister angry..."
Ning Shuang watched the already distant figure of Nan Qingshui and complained.
Even as an older brother, Nan Zhu shouldn't use that kind of tone to speak to his sister.
"I don't understand that child Qingshui, but I want to improve the relationship between us, which is why I chose to transfer here this time."
Nan Zhu covered his forehead and muttered with a desolate expression. His younger sister had already become completely unfamiliar to him.
He did not want this to continue. If things went on like this, he and Qingshui would only drift further and further apart.
"Classmate Wu Liang, I apologize to you regarding my sister. I shouldn't have agreed to her demands."
"It was supposed to be me thanking you in person, but now it's turned into this mess."
Nan Zhu smiled bitterly. If he hadn't agreed to Qingshui's request, Classmate Wu Liang wouldn't have been dragged into this now.
"Hey, I never thought you'd actually step up to save someone, and the enemies were a bunch of thugs, too."
"Awesome, partner. As expected of my best friend Ning Shuang."
Ning Shuang nudged Wu Liang with her elbow and flashed a wide, mischievous grin.
Her partner really was reliable, though it was a pity she hadn't gotten to see Wu Liang's badass highlight reel.
"Didn't I already say that earlier was just an accident?"
Wu Liang cast a sidelong glance at Ning Shuang beside him. Speaking of which, what on earth was the smokey eye makeup on this girl's face?
Pitch black and gloomy as night, why did she always make herself look so ghostly?
"Classmate Wu Liang, I need to go find that child Qingshui."
"By tomorrow, I will bring her over to properly apologize to you."
Nan Zhu stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Liang to express his gratitude for the morning.
Classmate Wu Liang was definitely not a bad person; that was Nan Zhu's initial intuition.
If possible, he also hoped he could become friends with Classmate Wu Liang.
"Ah... that won't be necessary... I don't mind..."
Wu Liang waved his hand dismissively. He hadn't taken Nan Qingshui's antics to heart.
After all, he was the one who had been a bit nervous at first, which was why he failed to see through Nan Qingshui's disguise.
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Nan Zhu exchanged a brief farewell with the two of them, then hurried off in the direction Nan Qingshui had left.
"Hey, your sister is probably under the tree in the center of the artificial lake right now. Go check there."
Watching Nan Zhu's hurried departure, Wu Liang fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
Feeling the genuine concern Nan Zhu held for his sister, Wu Liang was moved just a little bit.
"Is that so!? Thank you very much, Delinquent Classmate!!"
Nan Zhu froze at those words, then expressed his thanks loudly. As expected, Delinquent Classmate was a warm-hearted good person after all.
"It's Wu Liang."
Wu Liang crossed his arms and said with a dissatisfied expression.
Chapter 25: You want to look? Well, I refuse to let you see~
"They're all gone, hey."
Ning Shuang rested her chest against the table, leisurely massaging her slightly sore shoulders.
Today's events had still been a little fun, especially that Nan Qingshui from earlier.
You couldn't possibly call that mere makeup; it was getting close to facial disguise—she was basically a head-swapping monster.
The people around Wu Liang really were quite strange, not a single one of them acting like a normal person.
"Then why are you still here?"
Wu Liang stretched lazily, loosening up his drowsy body.
He turned his head to look at Ning Shuang beside him, but his gaze involuntarily fell upon her full, protruding chest.
The towering peaks could almost pierce through the clouds and mountain mist, and her snow-white skin gleamed brightly in the sunlight.
The shirt, stretched slightly out of shape, looked as though it would burst open at any second. No wonder Ning Shuang always complained about her shoulders being tired.
Walking around here every day with two such water mines strapped to her chest, it would be a miracle if she weren't tired.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Except for class time, when have the two of us ever been apart??"
Ning Shuang gave Wu Liang a puzzled, sidelong glance, as if she had just heard something interesting.
Was this guy's brain fried after coming out of the hospital? Weren't the two of them always in this kind of relationship?
Besides, she was currently known around the school as Wu Liang's rumored girlfriend anyway, so where else would she go if not with Wu Liang?
"I'm saying, can't you just wipe that makeup off your face?"
Wu Liang awkwardly shifted his gaze away. Every time Ning Shuang moved, that pair of white rabbits of hers would bounce.
He had to admit that Ning Shuang's figure was truly fantastic, and she also knew how to dress to flatter herself.
There wasn't an ounce of excess fat on her slender abdomen, making her look extremely slim despite having a pair of worldly breast assets.
Her short skirt, already well above the knee, had been stubbornly trimmed by Ning Shuang to the lower side of her thighs, barely covering her full, rounded peach of a butt.
Her plump thighs were firm and delicate, and Wu Liang could guarantee that the moment Ning Shuang lifted her leg even slightly, her spring scenery would be completely exposed.
"This is called fashion. This is the exact same smokey eye makeup as the ones in Atlantia, what do you know?"
Seeing Wu Liang criticize her makeup, Ning Shuang immediately rolled her eyes back at him.
Though it wasn't the first time Wu Liang had complained about her makeup like this.
Was this makeup really that ugly, though? She actually felt it had quite a bit of personality.
Thinking of this, Ning Shuang fished a small mirror from her bosom and carefully examined her own face.
How full of wild aesthetic beauty was this national-treasure-like smokey eye shadow, coupled with this deep purple eyeliner!
Aside from the deep blue lip color being a bit mismatched, everything else was pretty good.
"I suggest you use some normal light makeup instead. You're very pretty even without any."
Wu Liang's eye twitching as he looked at Ning Shuang, who was sporting a head of rainbow-colored hair.
Given Ning Shuang's looks, she didn't need makeup at all; her bare face was already startlingly stunning.
If anything, this ghost-like makeup completely ruined both her inner and outer beauty.
Especially Ning Shuang's colorful mop of hair—if she started running, anyone who didn't know better would probably think a rainbow horse had broken loose from its reins.
"Eh~~ This is the first time I've ever heard a compliment come out of your mouth~~~"
Ning Shuang was stunned for a moment, then looked with great interest at the handsome young man before her.
She felt like this guy Wu Liang had changed a lot. It wasn't just because of his faux-hawk hairstyle, but his personality and aura had shifted significantly.
How should she put it? She always felt that the Wu Liang in front of her had matured a lot, suddenly transforming from a boy into a man.
"I'm serious. You're just a bit... a bit too much right now..."
Wu Liang reached out to gesture at Ning Shuang's face, but failed to find a suitable adjective.
Looking neither human nor ghost like this, going out in the middle of the night would probably scare people to tears.
"I am a top model walking at the forefront of world trends! I! Am the spokesperson for new trends!"
Hearing this, Ning Shuang stood up, planted one foot on the table, pointed at Wu Liang's nose, and said loudly.
A guy like Wu Liang who didn't understand trends would never understand her! She, Ning Shuang, was the true model of trendiness!!
"Hey, hey, hey... put your foot down already..."
Wu Liang looked at the blue and white striped panties beneath Ning Shuang's skirt, covering his forehead in helpless frustration.
What on earth was this woman playing at? Why was everyone around him missing a screw in their heads?
"Oh~ There's only the two of us here anyway, what are you afraid of when I don't even mind?"
"Or could it be that~ the delinquent hoodlum Wu Liang Young Master is actually blushing~~~?"
Ning Shuang used her pinky finger to pinch the corner of her skirt and pull it upward, exposing her snow-white thighs to the air.
Alas, Ning Shuang was only intentionally teasing Wu Liang. Before Wu Liang could even get a clear look, she lowered her foot and laughed with playful amusement.
The lace-trimmed short skirt fluttered in the breeze, revealing that mysterious and bright expanse of her upper thighs.
"I'm telling you..."
For a moment, Wu Liang smiled with a sense of helplessness.
He knew Ning Shuang was just teasing him, purely wanting to see him make a fool of himself.
Yet he had to admit that Ning Shuang had arguably the hottest figure of any girl he knew.
Whether it was those magnificent breasts, her impossibly slender and willow-like waist, or those full, rounded, flesh-packed thighs, any of them was enough to captivate Wu Liang's gaze.
He was a man, and a high-energy man at that. He didn't think he could completely ignore Ning Shuang's temptation.
"Still want to look?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Ning Shuang walked up in front of Wu Liang, slowly leaned down, and smiled.
This was the first time she had teased Wu Liang in this manner, and she hadn't expected his reaction to be unexpectedly amusing.
"Naturally."
