The Villain Young Master Doesn't Want to Fall in Love with the Cute Domineering Female Lead

"Pfft..."

The laughter in front of him pulled Wu Liang's thoughts back to reality.

Wu Liang raised his head blankly and saw that He Xue's desolate eyes had already filled with amusement.

As though she had heard some funny joke, He Xue giggled.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she covered her mouth and laughed softly. The heavy atmosphere that had surrounded He Xue earlier vanished completely.

Along with He Xue's laughter, Wu Liang felt that the relationship between the two of them had unknowingly grown a little closer.

"I think that shot put really did damage your brain. How could the old you possibly say something that cringey?"

He Xue covered her mouth and giggled. The gloom she had felt was completely scattered by Wu Liang's mortifying words.

She never expected Wu Liang to be capable of saying something like that. It seemed she really did not understand him at all.

What did he mean, earning her approval was enough? Who did he think he was, some emperor? Putting on airs like that.

But He Xue had to admit that Wu Liang's somewhat amusing words had indeed made 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 and spoke gently.

Maybe she really had misunderstood Wu Liang. He had truly changed. The boy before her was no longer the little hooligan who liked to harass people.

If Wu Liang could truly leave his past behind completely, then she was willing to forgive the pranks he had played on her before...

The Chapter Title Craves Monthly Tickets

Wu Liang had not expected things to develop like this, and he was a little dumbfounded.

Awkwardly rubbing his nose, he did not know what to say to express what he was feeling.

Wu Liang had originally thought it would be extremely difficult to erase He Xue's negative impression of him.

He had even prepared himself for a prolonged battle, yet just two sentences from him had changed He Xue's opinion of him.

Although He Xue had not completely accepted him yet, he undoubtedly had a very good start now. It would naturally not be too difficult to completely erase her negative impression of him afterward.

He Xue's opinion of him had already changed a great deal. Wu Liang could clearly feel that the hostility she had shown before was gone.

"I misunderstood what happened this morning, and I'm very sorry about that."

He Xue tipped back the medicine and drank it all, then took a deep breath before lowering her head to Wu Liang and sincerely expressing her apology.

For something like this, she really needed to apologize properly.

Being misunderstood was an incredibly painful thing. She understood that deeply, so she hoped to receive Wu Liang's forgiveness.

"I already told you it wasn't anything worth worrying about."

Seeing He Xue take the initiative to change the subject, Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.

It was already no easy matter for He Xue to change her opinion of him. Maintaining things like this for now was actually not bad.

As long as He Xue did not continue misunderstanding him, it would definitely be much easier for him to bring Nan Zhu and He Xue together afterward.

Of course, that was assuming nothing unexpected happened.

"He Xue!!!"

A miserable howl suddenly came from outside, so terrible that anyone who did not know better might have thought it was the wail of a vicious ghost.

A figure rushed into the room. Han Yu's face was full of worry as she hurried, panting, to He Xue's side.

"What happened to you?! Don't scare me like this! Are you hurt?"

Han Yu threw herself into He Xue's arms and asked anxiously, her hands constantly feeling around He Xue's body to see whether she had been injured.

He Xue had gotten into trouble, yet she had not been by her side. As He Xue's best friend, she had been far too negligent.

Why had she gone to buy water? If she had stayed by He Xue's side then...

"I'm fine now, so don't worry about me."

He Xue held Han Yu by the shoulders and smiled comfortingly. Although her classmates had isolated her, she still had Han Yu by her side.

Han Yu was the first friend she had made after coming to this academy, and also the only girl willing to be her friend without caring about her background.

Han Yu took great care of her in many everyday matters. He Xue was very happy to have a friend at the academy whom she could truly confide in.

"You idiot, why didn't you call me?!"

"I told you before not to force yourself when you weren't feeling well, but you wouldn't listen! Look at the state you ended up in now!!"

With red-rimmed eyes, Han Yu lightly tapped He Xue on the forehead. She had already advised He Xue not to push herself.

Yet she had insisted on finishing that thousand-meter run during a time like this. What on earth was going through that idiot's head?

"I... My phone happened to run out of battery..."

"But it's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore, thanks to Teacher Liu Yan's medicine."

He Xue lowered her head somewhat sheepishly. She felt a little guilty in the face of Han Yu's questioning.

Han Yu had already advised her not to take part in the thousand-meter run, but she had stubbornly insisted on running it herself.

She had thought nothing would happen, but she had overestimated her own body.

In the end, she had made Han Yu worry this much. If only she had listened to Han Yu earlier and taken leave.

"I'm not only talking about you feeling unwell! I'm angry about those boys harassing you earlier!"

"I only found out what happened after asking the people around here, yet not a single person was willing to step in and help you at the time!"

"They call you goddess this and goddess that every day, but when something actually happens, every one of them turns into a cowardly bastard."

Han Yu spoke indignantly, punching the mattress hard with a face full of anger.

When those upperclassmen had tried to hit on He Xue, not a single person had stepped in to help her out. Did that bunch do nothing but eat all day?

"Don't be angry, okay? Besides, you know that I barely interact with the people in our class. You can't blame them."

"And I was sitting alone far away resting at the time. Maybe they just didn't see me."

He Xue held Han Yu's little hand and smiled faintly.

She did not want Han Yu to get angry over such a small matter, nor did she want Han Yu's relationship with the other students to worsen because of it.

Besides, she knew that her classmates would never have stepped in to help her. No one would offend those rich second-generation heirs and officials' children for an ordinary commoner.

A pretty face alone was useless. A student like her, with neither status nor standing, occupied the lowest rung at the academy.

"You! Sigh..."

"You're just too nice. I don't even know what to say to you anymore."

Han Yu pointed at He Xue's nose, wanting to say something, but after seeing the smile on He Xue's face, she could only sigh helplessly.

He Xue had always been like this. She never considered herself first and always thought of others before herself.

It was already 2020. How could there still be such an idiot in the world who only knew how to give?

"Don't be angry. Look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Besides, Wu Liang helped me out earlier, didn't he? And he carried... sent me all the way here..."

He Xue comforted Han Yu. When she mentioned Wu Liang, she paused before quickly changing her wording.

If Han Yu found out that Wu Liang had carried her here in a princess carry, she would probably write it directly into the school paper.

If Han Yu really wrote it in the school paper and published it, He Xue probably would not have the face to come to school tomorrow.

"The fact that you can still remember me is deeply moving."

Wu Liang, who had spent a full ten minutes as a background potted plant, slowly raised his hand.

He Xue remembering that he existed really surprised him. He had thought the two of them would just keep chatting forever.

"Wah! When were you here??"

When Han Yu noticed Wu Liang behind her, she jumped in fright directly onto He Xue's bed and hugged her.

When had this guy been here? He was as silent as a ghost.

"I've been here the whole time, from the moment you came in."

Wu Liang looked at the short-haired girl with some amusement. Was she the airheaded type...?

Girls' Love Is Absolutely Not Happening

"Eh~ So Wu Liang was the one who brought you here..."

Han Yu looked at Wu Liang behind her in surprise, then turned her gaze toward He Xue.

He Xue's attitude toward Wu Liang had been so terrible in the morning, yet now she could speak to him so naturally.

Was this what it meant to be a woman? Her attitude changed just like that.

So it turned out that she and He Xue had misunderstood Wu Liang about what happened that morning...

"Mm. I'm very sorry for how I acted this morning."

He Xue lowered her head guiltily and spoke softly. If she had asked just one more question then, or given Wu Liang time to explain himself, there would not have been such a misunderstanding.

It seemed her impatient personality really needed to change, or something like this would happen again sooner or later.

Her view of things was too one-sided. In that regard, she needed to learn properly from Han Yu.

"It's really rare for you to apologize on your own."

Han Yu murmured in surprise as she sat astride He Xue's legs.

After carefully examining Wu Liang, she slowly moved off He Xue.

But what she had not expected was that Wu Liang had not minded He Xue's earlier attitude at all, and had even taken the initiative to help her out. That was beyond her expectations.

"But I heard that Wu Liang carried you here in a princess carry. Is that true?"

As though she had suddenly remembered something, Han Yu abruptly turned to look at He Xue.

If she remembered correctly, that was indeed what the other students had said earlier.

"Ah... Well..."

He Xue immediately began to stammer, unable to think of anything to say that could ease this awkward topic.

Wu Liang really had carried her to the infirmary, but that had been beyond her control. She had not thought much about it at the time.

"Don't worry, I won't turn this into a news story and publish it in the school paper. I'm just curious."

"I'm your best friend. Don't tell me you can't even trust me? That would hurt my feelings."

Smiling, Han Yu gently placed a hand on He Xue's shoulder.

She was He Xue's best friend. How could she be foolish enough to expose something like this? She cherished He Xue too much for that.

"Hm?"

Wu Liang raised his head in confusion and looked at Han Yu, not quite understanding.

He did not know whether he was being overly sensitive or whether that was simply how Han Yu spoke, but something about those words felt strange. Then again, perhaps he was overthinking it.

"I really was carried here, but that was only because I wasn't feeling well and had no strength in my body."
