Chapter 492

"Yes, I like it, I like it very much."

He Xue buried her head in the cushion next to Han Yu and nodded. Her voice was very soft, as if she might fall asleep at any moment.

"Then why did you treat us and Wu...?"

"Xiao Yu, it's almost one o'clock. If we don't go to sleep now, we'll be sleeping in tomorrow."

He Xue suddenly looked up and pointed to the digital clock on the bedside table with a smile, indicating that Han Yu should go to sleep early, otherwise the face mask would be wasted.

"Ah... um... okay..."

Han Yu opened her mouth, but the question stuck in her throat made her swallow it back down.

She knew she couldn't ask the question, and she knew He Xue couldn't say it either. Perhaps the answer wasn't very pleasant for any of them, which was why He Xue interrupted her.

"My affection for Wu Liang is no less than my affection for you, Xiao Yu."

After He Xue turned off the headlights, she suddenly said something that showed that she was not only no less capable than Xiao Yu, but also not afraid of Miss Shi or Miss Milutin.

She simply preferred to get along well with everyone like this. She was content to just quietly watch over Wu Liang like this, and she didn't crave any more affection beyond that.

Wu Liang's love can be divided into many parts, but he also has many girls around him. If one of them gets too full, it could cause public outrage.

The ending she hoped for was both very simple and extremely difficult. She wanted to be with everyone, and she wanted to be with Wu Liang. All she wanted was a perfect happy ending...

Chapter Two: The Mysterious Visitor

The courtyard was deserted; there wasn't a soul in sight. But then again, it made sense. It was 1:30 a. m., and unless someone had a secret rendezvous, no one would be bothered to wander around here.

Soft sounds came from the paths on both sides of the flowerbed. Wearing a simple T-shirt and tropical-style shorts, Wu Liang sat on a bench by the path, seemingly lost in thought.

As he kicked at the pebbles at his feet and observed his surroundings, all the events that had happened since he came to this world felt so unreal to him, as if he were in a dream, unable to see or touch anything clearly.

Looking up at the pitch-black night sky, I realized that not a single bright star could be seen on the ink-washed canvas. The thick ink had turned the entire scene into a clear, dark mess.

"Sigh... It's rare to find the mood to go for a walk... and yet the weather is like this..."

Wu Liang sighed heavily. He had planned to come out and relax because the weather was nice tonight, but the sky turned cloudy in less than half an hour.

He shook his head helplessly, his already gloomy mood becoming even more depressed. He no longer knew what to do; he had lost half of his ability to control the plot.

He has deviated far too far from the expected path, or rather, he has embarked on a path he has never seen or experienced before, which has left him feeling lost and helpless.

Take a good look at what he's done. He messed up the true ending that should have been reached by the male lead and all the female leads. The plot that should have happened to the Nan Zhu has now all been turned onto him.

"Moreover, there is no longer any chance to correct the plot; the wrong trajectory has already gone too far."

Wu Liang rubbed his throbbing temples and murmured to himself. Even though he knew that the story had completely deviated from the original plot, he had no way to correct or change it.

The happy ending for the male protagonist and all the female protagonists is no longer possible. Not to mention the female protagonists, the Nan Zhu protagonist has not developed any relationship with any of them beyond that of classmates.

There's no turning back now; that's the best way to describe Wu Liang's current mood. He has no way to salvage the situation. No matter how familiar he is with the game's plot and strategy, there are no more options for the Nan Zhu lead to choose from.

"The master of strategy has actually been defeated so thoroughly."

Wu Liang spread his arms and lay back on the bench, laughing self-deprecatingly. He, who was known as the "Saint of Strategy" in his previous life, had actually lost to the game's development team.

Not only did it fail to help the male lead win the hearts of the female leads, it even turned him into a follower, while the female leads who should have been in love with him all flocked to his side.

The villainous boss, a loser, unexpectedly gained the love and infatuation of all the female protagonists. Isn't it just a matter of wishing him dead?

"Less than six months."

Having already accepted life and death, Wu Liang silently counted the few days left on his fingers. There were less than six months left until his inevitable death a year from now. In six months, he would die in his destined end.

This is an irreversible existence. In this death that has been planned since his birth, he will die as long as the male protagonist fails to reach a truly perfect, happy ending with all the female protagonists.

Although he didn't know how he would die, Wu Liang instinctively felt that it wouldn't be a good ending, and that his death would be extremely ugly.

"Um?"

Just as Wu Liang was feeling hopeless and miserable about his near future, he saw a beautiful woman with an ethereal figure teasing a wild cat hiding in the flowers not far away.

"Hey, if you don't go home at this hour, you might run into trouble."

Looking at the woman's back Wu Liang kindly reminded her that it was very dangerous for a young and beautiful woman like her to be wandering around outside so late.

Although only students were in this villa area, something might happen that would scare the other party, since girls are generally not very brave.

"Is that so? Then aren't you just strolling around here too?"

The woman slowly turned around to look at Li Yue. Her silvery-white hair, paired with her blood-red eyes, was particularly striking in the night.

"Hmm... a beauty..."

Wu Liang was also stunned when he saw the other person's appearance. The exquisitely sculpted features seemed to be the work of God. Even though he was used to seeing beautiful women, he couldn't help but sincerely praise the other person's appearance.

Her fair and flawless skin appeared pale in the night, her thin, soft lips were delicate and inviting, and her blood-red eyes seemed to be outlined with silver threads, with a cross-shaped pattern flashing in her eyes.

"You're more interesting."

The woman bent down slightly, stared at Wu Liang's face for a while, then clapped her hands with a smile. Her 1.7-meter height, combined with her black satin stilettos, accentuated her strong and confident demeanor.

"Would you risk your life for beauty..."

When Wu Liang saw the woman's attire clearly, his lips twitched. Don't girls these days feel cold?

Although the climate on Bolun Island is relatively pleasant, it is still quite cold at night, especially on a mountaintop like this. He wears a T-shirt because his constitution doesn't require him to care about such things.

But the woman in front of him was only wearing a simple top and hot pants. The only thing that looked relatively warm was her over-the-knee boots.

"You don't seem to have the right to talk about me, someone who's only wearing a T-shirt."

The woman looked at the man in front of her with amusement. This guy's way of flirting was really strange. Was he implying that she was dressed too scantily? Was he trying to get her attention this way?

"Me? Well, I guess I'm a bit special."

After pondering for a while, Wu Liang spoke slowly, then looked at the woman in front of him again. An untouchable sense of distance was his first impression of her.

He didn't know if it was his imagination or something else, but he had a feeling that he couldn't see the other person clearly, as if there was a thin mist around the other person that was invisible to the naked eye, making it impossible for him to see through them.

"Yes, you are indeed quite special. This is the first time I've ever met such a terrifying man."

After examining Wu Liang for a while, the woman smiled faintly. Just as she had thought, although the aura was very faint, there was indeed black energy swirling around him.

Her eyes could clearly see the Death Line surrounding the man; this must be the man Huanhuan had mentioned. And these Death Line were truly astounding, there were so many...

If it weren't for that girl Mo Qianhuan constantly mentioning the other person's name, she wouldn't have rushed all the way from Greece to here.

Chapter Three: The "Death Line" That Doesn't Belong to This World

"This cat has a broken leg and can't move around easily. It will only starve to death if it stays here."

Wu Liang squatted down and examined the thin, bony white cat. It was an unlucky stray cat with a broken right hind leg and its fur was covered in mud and dirt.

The poor little guy, if left unattended here, it will probably starve to death in a few days. Without its right leg, it's like a tiger without its fangs.

"How do you know so much? You weren't a veterinarian, were you?"

The woman brushed her hair aside and looked down at Wu Liang, her delicate brows furrowing even more. It wasn't her imagination; there was indeed a strange aura surrounding this man.

Nothing could escape her eyes. It was strange, very strange. These were "threads" she had never seen before. The other person's entire body was wrapped in jet-black "Death Line."

She has eyes that can see the "Death Line" on other people's bodies. The more "Death Line" a person has, the more misfortune they will suffer in the near future and their death is imminent.

The most "Death Line" I remember seeing were on her father, a total of ten, but this man was different; the "Death Line" on his body were extremely numerous and dense.

Hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of "Death Line" almost wrapped Wu Liang up like a cocoon. This was the first time in her life that she had ever seen a person with such a dense network of "Death Line".

This goes beyond her understanding of the "Death Line." Why could a person's "Death Line" be exaggerated to this extent? This is unscientific, extremely unscientific.

Moreover, there was something else that really bothered her: the "Death Line" on Wu Liang's body was different from the "Death Line" she had seen on others before; there was a qualitative difference in the aura between the two.

Wu Liang's "Death Line" left her unsure. What should have been a malicious, pitch-black "Death Line" was actually interspersed with seven or eight lucky red lines. How could this be? Could misfortune and luck coexist?

This was the first time she had ever seen something so outrageous, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but the "Death Line" on Wu Liang's body gave her a feeling that she didn't belong to this world, as if it were something from another world.

"I wouldn't say I'm a veterinarian, it's just that I used to be in contact with these little guys a lot when I was a kid."

Wu Liang rummaged through his pockets. As a child, he had always played alone, spending a lot of time outside with stray cats and dogs.

"Found it."

Wu Liang took out half a ham from his pants pocket, crushed it, and threw it in front of the cat. The ham he had casually packed for dinner was now coming in handy.

The kitten, curled up and trembling, raised its head, its fearful gaze falling on the young man before it, then on the food in front of it.

"Eat with confidence, it's non-toxic and pollution-free. If there's any problem, I'll let you punch me."

Wu Liang, resting his chin on his hand, looked helplessly at the kitten that wanted to eat but dared not, and said, "Is it because it has been bullied by humans so much that it has become wary of them?"

But the fact that it didn't run away already shows that it trusted him and that mysterious woman. (Cat: "You try running away from me with that limp leg? Do you think I'm a Super Cat?")

"Meow~"

After several attempts, the cat gradually lowered its guard, meowed gratefully, and then began to devour the ham.

"Oh wow, what an adorable little guy. It's a pity I can't keep pets where I am, otherwise I could consider giving you a home."

Wu Liang quietly looked at the kitten in front of him, gently stroking its dirty fur. He had once been just as lonely and friendless as this kitten.

That period was indeed quite nostalgic for him, because because he was a villain, no one wanted to play with him, and no one wanted to be his friend.

If it weren't for Qiao Xinying constantly staying by his side and tormenting him, he might have fallen into a short-term state of social withdrawal because he couldn't make friends.

"Meow~"

After finishing the ham, the kitten slowly approached Wu Liang's hand and gratefully licked his fingers, its soft meows expressing its gratitude.

"Are you full? You don't eat much."

Wu Liang smiled. He was quite interested in pets like cats and dogs. He would ask Yao Shi to help him find a cat to raise when he returned home.

"Meow~ (^ω^)"

The cat rubbed its head against Wu Liang's palm, clinging to Wu Liang's wrist affectionately and refusing to let go.

"Don't become dependent on someone just because they've given you some food."

Wu Liang stared at the cat that had suddenly stuck to him and pursed his lips. Not long ago, the cat had been extremely wary of him.

"May I have your name?"

The woman carefully examined the man before her. Was this the person that Mo Qianhuan had begged her to protect...?

Well, his appearance and physique are acceptable, and he has a good figure, but there are too many suspicious things about this man. His otherworldly aura makes her very uneasy.

"I had forgotten you were still here. My Wu Liang, not the unscrupulous boy you think I am."

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly slapped his palm, realizing that there had been someone by his side all along.

"I am Bai Yu, and we will meet again in the future."

Bai Yu's eyes twitched slightly. Was her presence less noticeable than a cat's? And judging from the man's expression, he didn't seem to be faking it.

This man named Wu Liang had indeed completely forgotten about her and spent half a day playing with a stray cat. Wasn't that a bit too disrespectful to a lady?

Thinking of this, Bai Yu couldn't help but pull down her T-shirt to reveal a deep cleavage of snow-white skin. She spread her legs, her face full of seductive charm, and looked at Wu Liang with cold, flirtatious eyes.

She refused to believe that this man had no interest in her at all. No man dislikes a beautiful woman, and she could also take the opportunity to test Wu Liang's character.

Does this man deserve her help? Does he deserve Mo Qianhuan's affection...?

Are you hot?

Wu Liang frowned slightly as he looked at the woman who suddenly bared her breasts and started wiggling her hips in front of him. Although she was a beauty, he really didn't like this kind of thing.

"I'm saying, don't you feel anything about how I look right now?"

Bai Yu was so embarrassed she could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes. At least give her some reaction, or she'd look like she had a brain injury. What was she trying to achieve by tempting her for so long?

"My assessment is that it's not enough to burn."

After a moment of silence, Wu Liang slowly spoke, "She's still far inferior to the female streamers on X-Fish..."
