"Pfft..."
The laughter from in front of him pulled Wu Liang's thoughts back to reality.
Wu Liang blankly raised his head and saw that He Xue's forlorn eyes were now filled with a smile.
As if she had heard a funny joke, He Xue chuckled.
Her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, she covered her mouth and let out a light laugh, and the oppressive atmosphere that had previously surrounded her suddenly vanished.
With He Xue's laughter, Wu Liang felt that the relationship between them had unknowingly taken a step closer.
"I think you really got hit on the head by a shot put. There's no way the old you would say such chuunibyou things."
He Xue covered her mouth and giggled, her previous melancholy completely dispelled by Wu Liang's embarrassingly awkward statement.
She hadn't expected Wu Liang to say such things; it seemed she really didn't understand him at all.
What do you mean, 'getting your approval is enough'? Who do you think you are, the emperor? Putting on airs here.
But He Xue had to admit, Wu Liang's slightly funny words did make her feel much more at ease.
"Just pretend you didn't hear anything."
Wu Liang covered his forehead, Ah, I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.
"Thank you."
He Xue gazed at Wu Liang, speaking gently.
Perhaps she had indeed misunderstood Wu Liang. He had really changed; the boy in front of her was no longer the same hooligan who used to play pranks.
If Wu Liang could completely abandon his past, she would be willing to forgive him for all the pranks he had played on her before...

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Chapter Title Craves Monthly Tickets
Wu Liang, who hadn't expected things to develop this way, was a bit dumbfounded.
He awkwardly touched his nose, unsure of what to say to express his inner thoughts at that moment.
Wu Liang had originally thought that eliminating He Xue's negative impression of him would be a very difficult task.
He had even prepared himself for a protracted battle, but he hadn't expected that his two sentences would cause He Xue to change her opinion of him.
Although He Xue didn't fully approve of him yet, he had undoubtedly gotten off to a very good start. It wouldn't be too difficult to completely eliminate her negative impression of him afterward.
He Xue's perception of him had changed significantly now, and Wu Liang could clearly feel that the hostility from her was gone.
"I misunderstood you about what happened this morning, and I'm very sorry about it."
After finishing the packet of powder and taking a deep breath, He Xue lowered her head and deeply apologized to Wu Liang.
She really needed to express her apology properly for something like this.
Being misunderstood was a very unpleasant thing, and she understood that deeply, so she hoped to gain Wu Liang's forgiveness.
"I already said it's nothing worth mentioning."
Seeing that He Xue had changed the subject, Wu Liang waved his hand, relieved.
It was already a difficult thing for He Xue to change her opinion of him, so maintaining this state for now was fine.
As long as He Xue didn't misunderstand him anymore, his progress in setting up Nan Zhu and He Xue would be much smoother.
Of course, that was assuming nothing unexpected happened.
"He Xue!!!"
A tragic howl suddenly came from outside the house, and if one didn't know better, they might think it was the wail of a vengeful spirit.
A figure quickly ran into the room, Han Yu, her face full of worry, rushed to He Xue's side, panting.
"What's wrong! Don't scare me! Are you hurt?"
Han Yu threw herself into He Xue's arms, asking with concern, her hands constantly searching He Xue's body, trying to see if she was injured.
She wasn't by He Xue's side when something happened to her; she was too negligent as He Xue's best friend.
Why did she even go to buy water? If only she had stayed by He Xue's side at that moment...
"I'm fine now, don't worry about me."
He Xue smiled reassuringly, holding Han Yu's shoulders. Although she was isolated by her classmates, she still had Han Yu by her side.
Han Yu was the first friend she made after coming to this academy, and more importantly, the only girl who didn't care about her identity and was willing to be her friend.
Han Yu took great care of her in many daily matters, and she was very happy to have a confidante in this academy.
"You idiot, why didn't you call me!"
"I told you before not to push yourself when you don't feel well, but you never listen to me. Look! You've ended up like this!!"
Han Yu's eyes reddened as she gently tapped He Xue's forehead. She had advised He Xue not to overexert herself earlier.
What was this idiot He Xue thinking, insisting on running that thousand meters during this time?
"My... my phone just ran out of battery..."
"But it's okay, I don't hurt anymore, thanks to Teacher Liu Yan's medicine."
He Xue lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. She felt some guilt facing Han Yu's questioning.
After all, Han Yu had advised her not to participate in the thousand-meter race, but she had insisted on running it herself.
She thought nothing unexpected would happen, but she had overestimated her own body.
In the end, it caused Han Yu to worry this much. If only she had listened to Han Yu earlier and taken leave.
"It's not just about you not feeling well! I'm furious about you being harassed by those guys earlier!"
"I only found out about it after asking people around, and yet not a single person was willing to help you at the time!"
"To think they're classmates, calling you 'goddess' every day, but when something happens, they're all cowards."
Han Yu said indignantly, punching the bed forcefully, her face full of anger.
When He Xue was chatted up by those senior boys, not a single person stepped in to help her. Were those people just eating rice all day!
"Please don't be angry anymore. Besides, you know I barely interact with people in the class, so you can't blame them."
"And at that time, I was sitting alone in a distant spot, maybe they didn't see me."
He Xue gently smiled as she held Han Yu's small hand.
She didn't want Han Yu to be angry over such a small matter, nor did she want Han Yu's relationship with the classmates to worsen because of it.
Moreover, she knew that her classmates wouldn't help her. No one would offend those rich second-generation and official second-generation kids for an ordinary commoner.
Having a pretty face was useless. Someone like her, with no status and no position, was the lowest-ranking person in the academy.
"You! Sigh..."
"You're just too kind-hearted, I don't know what to say to you."
Han Yu pointed at He Xue's nose, wanting to say something, but after seeing the smile on He Xue's face, she sighed helplessly.
He Xue had always been like this, never considering herself, always thinking of others first.
It's 2020, how can there still be such an idiot in the world who only knows how to sacrifice themselves.
"Don't be angry anymore, see? I'm perfectly fine."
"Besides, didn't classmate Wu Liang help me out earlier? And he even carried me... carried me all the way here..."
He Xue comforted Han Yu, pausing for a moment when she mentioned Wu Liang, then changing her words.
If Han Yu knew that Wu Liang had carried her here in a princess carry, she would probably write about it in the school newspaper directly.
If Han Yu really wrote it in the school newspaper and published it, she probably wouldn't have the face to come to school tomorrow.
"It truly moves me that you can still remember me."
Wu Liang, who had been a background potted plant for a full ten minutes, slowly raised his hand.
He was quite surprised that He Xue could remember his existence. He thought these two would just keep chatting like this.
"Whoa! When did you get here??"
When Han Yu noticed Wu Liang behind her, she jumped onto He Xue's bed in shock and hugged her.
When did this guy get here? He was as quiet as a ghost.
"I've been here the whole time, from the moment you walked in."
Wu Liang glanced at the short-haired girl with amusement. Is she just oblivious by nature...?
Chapter 67: Yuri is Impossible, Absolutely Impossible
"Eh~ So Wu Liang sent you over..."
Han Yu glanced at Wu Liang behind her with some surprise, then shifted her gaze to He Xue.
This morning, He Xue's attitude towards Wu Liang was still so hostile, yet now she could communicate with him so naturally.
Should I say women are truly fickle? Their expressions change just like that.
But that incident this morning... it seems He Xue and I misunderstood Wu Liang.
"Yes, I am very sorry for my attitude this morning."
He Xue lowered her head guiltily and said in a low voice. If she had asked one more question this morning, or given Wu Liang a chance to explain, the misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.
It seems her impatient personality really needs to change, otherwise, this kind of thing will happen again sooner or later.
She was too narrow-minded when looking at things. She really needed to learn from Han Yu in this regard.
"It's quite rare for you to apologize proactively."
Han Yu, straddling He Xue's lap, murmured with slight surprise.
After carefully appraising Wu Liang, she slowly moved off He Xue.
But what she didn't expect was that Wu Liang completely disregarded He Xue's earlier attitude towards him and even proactively helped her out of a tight spot, which was beyond her expectations.
"But I heard that classmate Wu Liang carried you in a princess carry, is that true?"
As if suddenly remembering something, Han Yu turned her head to look at He Xue in front of her.
If she remembered correctly, the students before had indeed said so.
"Ah... this..."
He Xue immediately became flustered upon hearing this, unsure of what to say to ease the awkward topic.
It was true that Wu Liang had carried her to the infirmary, but that was due to circumstances beyond her control, and she hadn't thought much of it at the time.
"Don't worry, I won't write this as news and publish it in the school paper. I'm just genuinely curious."
"I'm your best friend, don't you trust me? I'll be sad, you know."
Han Yu, with a smile all over her face, gently placed her hand on He Xue's shoulder.
She was He Xue's best friend, so how could she be so foolish as to expose this matter? She cherished He Xue too much to do that.
"Hm?"
Wu Liang raised his head in confusion, looking at Han Yu with a puzzled expression.
He wasn't sure if he was being overly sensitive or if Han Yu's way of speaking was just like that, but he felt something was a bit off about her words. Still, it was possible he was overthinking it.
"It's true that I was carried, but that's because I wasn't feeling well at the time, so my body couldn't exert any strength."
