Chapter 196

Wu Liang did not show much surprise.

After all, given the game's storyline, it's only a matter of time before He Xue and Ning Shuang join the student council.

But why?

Why hasn't Nan Zhu, who should have been the first to join the student council, received an invitation from Su Qian yet?

"Nan Zhu? Who's that again?"

Su Qian blinked her beautiful, ruby-red eyes and tilted her head in confusion.

Chapter 40: The Chapter Title Was Poisoned

"Nan Zhu? Who's that again?"

Su Qian tilted her head in confusion.

The name sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

But she couldn't quite remember this person.

"Ha?"

Wu Liang was stunned when he saw Su Qian's bewildered reaction.

Su Qian doesn't know who Nan Zhu is?

Didn't he meet her before when he came to the student council with Nan Zhu?

Although Nan Zhu was knocked unconscious by his karate chop.

But Su Qian shouldn't be completely unaware of Nan Zhu.

You should at least have some subtle impressions.

Moreover, Nan Zhu himself is the game's designated male protagonist.

According to the normal plot, Su Qian should have invited the male lead to join the student council first.

But Su Qian has now not only not invited the Nan Zhu.

On the contrary, they almost completely forgot about the existence of Nan Zhu.

"President! Nan Zhu is my brother!"

"It's that boy who just transferred here a few days ago, the Nan Zhu who's pretty close to Wu Liang!"

Su Qian heard that Nan Zhu had absolutely no recollection of him.

Standing to one side, Nan Qingshui puffed out her cheeks and said with some dissatisfaction.

She often mentioned her brother to the president.

How could the president forget about his brother? He's not like he's invisible.

Even if someone has a low profile, it shouldn't be this low, right?!

"Ah, I remember now, it's Qingshui's brother."

"He seems to have a good relationship with you, Wu Liang. I heard you even saved him before."

Su Qian covered her mouth and smiled apologetically.

After hearing this, she also remembered Nan Zhu.

The other party was one of the few friends Wu Liang had.

He is easy-going, has excellent grades, and a mild personality.

He seems to be quite handsome and is very popular with the girls in the college.

She also overheard some younger female students discussing this.

The girls call Wu Liang and Nan Zhu the "face value duo" of the Huihuangxing Academy.

There were even female writers who kept their identities secret and wrote novels like "The Diary of Rottenness" specifically for Wu Liang and Nan Zhu.

I heard he's very popular among the girls in the college...

In short, from all aspects, Classmate Nanzhu can be considered a rare talent.

But...

"I'm sorry, I usually forget people I'm not interested in very easily."

Su Qian smiled a little shyly.

Classmate Nanzhu is indeed very outstanding, and he probably has quite a few female admirers in the academy.

Unfortunately, this only applies to people that Su Qian isn't interested in.

Even if the other person is so outstanding, she would find it difficult to notice their existence.

For Su Qian, one person who can capture her attention is enough.

After all, her vision is narrow, and the number of people she can accommodate is very limited.

"President, even if you're not interested in your brother, at least remember his name."

Nan Qingshui said, her face full of speechlessness.

The president is always like this; if she's not interested in someone, she won't remember them at all.

But Nan Zhu is her brother after all, so she'll give the president some face.

"I'll try my best, next time for sure, next time for sure."

Su Qian smiled somewhat awkwardly.

She had absolutely no interest in the Nan Zhu.

However, since Qingshui and Wu Liang have both said so.

She still needs to be a little careful.

It would be embarrassing if you couldn't remember their name the next time you met them.

"..."

Wu Liang frowned as he looked at Su Qian and Nan Qingshui.

Something's not right; this plot development feels a bit off.

This wasn't the first time he'd noticed something strange about this place.

Why is Nan Zhu, a perfectly normal male protagonist in a game, involved?

But somehow it ended up feeling like a random passerby in a game...

'Back Garden Pavilion'

He Xue sat on the bench, carefully stringing the bracelet in her hand.

Miao Lian's bracelet was indeed destroyed by those two people.

The damage wasn't too severe; only a few links on the bracelet broke.

Those two must have known that the bracelet was quite valuable.

At the same time, it was very important to Miao Lian, so he didn't go too far when he attacked her.

"Phew... this was really tough..."

It was only with great difficulty that the broken joint was finally fastened back together tightly.

My fingertips are a little red and swollen from pressing the bracelet so hard.

He Xue blew cool air onto her red fingertips and slowly placed the somewhat dirty and dented bracelet on her thigh.

"There's just one more spot and we can reconnect it."

He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He Xue took a deep breath and patted her face vigorously to encourage herself.

I gazed at the bracelet lying quietly on my lap.

A relaxed smile appeared on He Xue's lips.

Even if it's re-strung, it won't look the same as before.

But it's still much better than remaining in its previous dilapidated state.

"Huh? It won't fasten?"

When He Xue got to the last broken part, she found that she couldn't fasten it no matter what she did.

"No way..."

He Xue frowned and pressed the buckle hard.

The white, smooth fingertips were marked with red marks from the buckle.

But she was too weak for a girl.

After several unsuccessful attempts.

He Xue had no choice but to put down the bracelet and rub her fingers to relieve the pain.

"We were just one step away from getting there."

He Xue bit her fingertip and muttered to herself, somewhat unwillingly.

Having gone through so much trouble to get to this point, she just refused to believe she couldn't do it right.

No, for Miao Lian's sake, she has to be restored no matter what.

"Excuse me, if you don't mind, I think I can help you."

He Xue jumped when a male voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Her little hand trembled for no reason, and the bracelet fell to the ground.

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry for my rudeness."

The visitor smiled gently.

He bent down and picked up the bracelet that had fallen to the ground, examining it closely.

"Ah, wait a minute! That bracelet is..."

He Xue panicked when she saw that the bracelet had fallen into someone else's hands.

That's something she just got from Miao Lian.

If the bracelet is damaged again because of her.

Then she really wouldn't have the face to face Miao Lian.

"Hmm... this bracelet is very well made..."

"Was it broken by external force? That's really a pity."

The newcomer held the bracelet in the air and observed the person intently.

But what was reflected in those scarlet eyes was He Xue's slightly nervous face.

"Excuse me, could you please give me back my bracelet?"

He Xue stared nervously at the tall, slender man with silver hair in front of her.

I don't know if it was just her imagination.

She felt that the man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

That other person's somewhat androgynous handsome face... I always felt like it resembled someone else...

"The last loop is deformed. Even a normal guy wouldn't be able to fasten it back up, let alone you."

"However, since it is such a fortunate coincidence that we met, I will take this as a gift from me to you."

The man put the bracelet away and slung it behind his back, then turned his gaze back to He Xue.
