These people probably weren't here to cause trouble. None of these students had any hostility about them.
But then again, were these people really high school students? Why did these high schoolers look like thirty-something gangsters?
Wu Liang was utterly speechless at the muscular men standing before him, with their bulging chests and powerful builds.
As expected of a game world. They drew women and insisted they were men; they were really good at making middle-aged men pretend to be students.
"Um! Please wait a moment. I definitely haven't mistaken you for someone else! I just want to sincerely apologize to you!"
Hearing that Ning Shuang wanted to leave, the student at the head of the group hurriedly jogged over to Wu Liang, speaking with a panicked expression.
It was because of his mistake that Wu Liang had ended up in the hospital. He should have come to apologize yesterday.
"Apologize?"
Wu Liang raised an eyebrow. He couldn't remember anyone who needed to apologize to him.
No one had offended him in the past few days. Wait... could it be...
"My father went to see you before, but you hadn't woken up at the time, and your maid... your maid was rather forceful..."
"Actually, I wanted to come see you as soon as I heard you'd returned to school yesterday, but I'm kind of a coward, so I..."
The man stammered as he spoke, occasionally glancing back at his good brothers behind him.
If his brothers hadn't comforted him, he wouldn't have dared come to Wu Liang alone to make amends.
After all, Wu Liang's brutality was famous throughout the academy. He could practically be called an evil ghost.
And the shot put he had thrown off course had, by the worst possible luck, struck that devil. When he learned that Wu Liang had been hospitalized in a coma, he had practically wanted to die.
No matter how influential his family was, it couldn't compare to a fart from the Wu family. He had even lost a full twenty pounds in just a few days because of this.
"So you were the one who threw that shot put. Your aim was really something. Are you an archer too?"
"Forget the apology. I should be thanking you instead."
Wu Liang spoke half-jokingly. He really should thank the man before him.
If the other man hadn't knocked him awake, Wu Liang would have been killed by the plot a year later. He would have become the unluckiest transmigrator in history.
"Huh? Thanking me?"
The student froze for a moment, utterly confused. He had put someone in the hospital, so why was he being thanked instead?
"Anyway, don't take this matter too seriously. As for my maid refusing your father, I apologize for that. My maid was somewhat rude."
"I've already recovered, and I didn't take this matter to heart, so you don't need to be so humble."
Wu Liang smiled calmly. Yao Shi had probably refused this student's father.
But he truly hadn't taken it to heart. If not for this student, he might not have awakened his memories until the plot killed him.
"Student Wu Liang... thank you so much for forgiving me!!!"
The student's legs immediately gave out, and he fell to his knees, speaking through tears of gratitude.
Receiving forgiveness from that villainous young master was something he hadn't even dared dream of.
It seemed he had misunderstood Student Wu Liang. Student Wu Liang wasn't actually as terrifying as the rumors claimed.
"So you don't need to be like this..."
Just as Wu Liang wanted to help up the student kneeling before him and bawling, his outstretched hands froze in midair.
Looking at He Xue and Han Yu ahead of him, both wearing expressions full of contempt, Wu Liang suddenly felt as sick as if he had eaten shit.
"Well, I think I need to explain something..."
The Story of Mr. KFC and Wu Liang
He Xue hadn't expected Wu Liang to recover so quickly, much less change so drastically.
In her impression, Wu Liang had been a delinquent with a pompadour who did every kind of evil.
What disgusted her most was how that guy Wu Liang would harass her from time to time.
Although it didn't have much of an impact on her, it still made her feel utterly revolted.
But when she saw the boy step out of the car, she was stunned for a moment.
"Look at that person. This was what I wanted to tell you about just now."
"That person is Wu Liang, the delinquent boss. Don't you think he's changed a lot?"
Han Yu poked half her head out from behind He Xue.
As if afraid the other party would hear her, she shrank her neck and leaned close to He Xue's ear to whisper.
"Are you sure that person is Wu Liang?"
He Xue opened her mouth, pointing at the young man who had already entered the school gates.
Wasn't Han Yu messing with her? That handsome young man was the old pompadoured Wu Liang?
"Do you think I'd need to tease you? Besides, whether that guy is Wu Liang or not, we'll know once we get back to the classroom."
Han Yu puffed out her cheeks and complained unhappily.
Her good friend was actually doubting her. That was too hurtful!
"But that person..."
He Xue frowned and watched the backs of Wu Liang and the others with a complicated expression.
That person should indeed be Wu Liang. After all, the girl beside him had clearly called him Wu Liang earlier.
But what exactly was going on? Why had that former delinquent young master suddenly become like this?
Was he planning to turn over a new leaf? How had he suddenly become like a completely different person?
And that handsome face of his was far too absurd. This was basically like getting a new head. Could this really have anything to do with his hairstyle?
"Why don't we quietly follow them and find out?"
Seeing that Wu Liang and the others had already entered the school, Han Yu grabbed He Xue's hand and jogged after them.
They were heading to the classroom anyway, so they might as well follow and see what changes Wu Liang had undergone.
After all, Wu Liang had acted completely differently ever since yesterday. She was personally very interested in him too.
Especially when Wu Liang had clashed with Blondie yesterday, he had felt different from usual then as well.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Following someone around..."
He Xue spoke somewhat hesitantly. Even if they were classmates, they really shouldn't do something like stalking someone.
Besides, what was so worth following about that guy Wu Liang? If she were going to follow someone, it should be someone as charming as Mr. KFC.
"I don't believe you're not curious about Wu Liang's changes."
"Hurry, hurry. They'll be entering the school building soon."
Han Yu urged He Xue anxiously, pushing her along.
She had wanted to get a good look into Wu Liang yesterday, but she simply hadn't had the chance.
If she could write a report about Wu Liang's transformation and publish it in the school newspaper, it would definitely become a huge hit.
Then wouldn't the title of Huihuangxing Academy's best reporter be hers for sure?
"But..."
He Xue was still somewhat troubled, though she truly was curious about Wu Liang's changes.
In just a few days, Wu Liang had gone from a villain to a gentleman. No matter how she thought about it, that seemed impossible.
That guy Wu Liang must be plotting something and had deliberately disguised himself as such a well-behaved student.
"Come on, let's go. I knew you wanted to see too."
Han Yu pulled a camera from the shoulder bag in her arms and revealed a mischievous smile.
Linking arms with He Xue, she ran toward Wu Liang and the others.
..
"Hey, hey... isn't something about to happen...?"
Han Yu hid behind a wall and looked at the group of burly men in the corridor.
They looked like students from the sports department. Why were they gathered in a place like this?
And Wu Liang's group was clearly surrounded by them. Could they be here to cause trouble?
"I should call a teacher. It would be troublesome if something happened."
He Xue's brows furrowed slightly as she looked worriedly at Wu Liang, who was surrounded by those burly men.
Although she personally disliked Wu Liang, she couldn't just watch him get bullied by such a large group of people.
What kind of ability was bullying someone with numbers? If they had guts, they should fight one-on-one. Though judging by physique alone, Wu Liang probably couldn't win a one-on-one either.
Besides, Wu Liang had only just left the hospital. His body should still be very weak. If something really happened, she would feel bad about it too.
"Wait, those people don't seem to be here to cause trouble. Let's observe a little longer."
Han Yu hurriedly grabbed He Xue, who was about to go get a teacher.
That group didn't seem to be looking for a fight with Wu Liang. They seemed more like they were here to discuss something, since neither side appeared inclined to make a move.
"Don't worry. If they really dare lay a hand on him, I'll stop them."
Han Yu puffed out her chest and spoke proudly. She was the person in charge of the school newspaper.
Unless those people wanted to become famous throughout the academy, they would have to show her some respect.
"Fine, then let's watch for a while first."
Seeing Han Yu's confident expression, He Xue smiled helplessly.
Then she shifted her gaze to Wu Liang's face and found herself dazed for a moment.
She truly couldn't imagine that this handsome man was what that villainous young master looked like without his pompadour. He was practically a girl killer...
Thud
Just as He Xue was letting her thoughts wander, a dull sound suddenly came from ahead.
The burly man who had been talking with Wu Liang suddenly dropped to his knees before him and began crying loudly.
As if he had suffered some enormous grievance, the rough-looking man appeared exceptionally fragile at that moment.
"Uh..."
Han Yu's finger, which had been about to press the shutter, stopped. She stared blankly at the suddenly kneeling burly man. Wasn't that plot twist a little too fast?
She had originally thought this group had come to cause trouble for Wu Liang. Why did they now look more like the victims?
"That guy..."
He Xue frowned at the sight. She even felt ashamed that she had previously considered helping Wu Liang.
How could someone like Wu Liang possibly be the one being oppressed? He was the villainous young master.
"Han Yu, let's go."
He Xue pulled Han Yu out from the corner, her face dark as she swept a glance over Wu Liang, who had suddenly frozen in place at the sight of her.
This was the difference between people. If only Wu Liang had even one percent of Mr. KFC's goodness...
No, that wasn't right.
Why was she comparing Wu Liang to Mr. KFC? They were completely incomparable.
She had thought Wu Liang had changed a great deal, just as Han Yu said, but judging from what she was seeing now...
