Chapter 494

Is it an academic question? Or are they just chatting about everyday gossip with friends? Okay, I'll wait a bit longer...

(Two more hours passed)

"Hello... The number you dialed is currently busy... Please try again later..."

"What on earth is this woman doing...?"

Wu Liang stared at his phone with twitching eyes, feeling frustrated. In the past two hours, he had tried to contact Mo Qianhuan every half hour, but the call was always busy.

Who would make a phone call for this long? This amount of time would be enough to explain the entire content of the novel "The Villain Young Master Doesn't Want to Date the Cute and Cute Domineering Female Lead," but why is this girl still talking?

"Could it be that she's on the phone with her boyfriend for hours...?"

Wu Liang yawned, probably having a long phone conversation with her boyfriend, since nothing else seemed very realistic.

If it's just a long phone call, then it's understandable. Young men and women can easily spend the whole night on the phone, so he's used to it.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Wu Liang closed his eyes and said calmly, "I didn't expect that girl to have found a boyfriend. Well, I'll keep a little distance from her from now on."

After all, she has a boyfriend, and if she acts too intimately, it will definitely cause his dissatisfaction. She has that much self-awareness and can't let others misunderstand.

"Huanhuan, is that Wu Liang really an ordinary person? How could an ordinary person have so many Death Line? This is the first time your senior has ever seen one."

As Bai Yu lay on the big bed eating an apple pie, she muttered to herself, "How could there be such an outrageous person in this world? It's so bizarre that I can't even figure it out."

If it weren't for the strange events that had happened in Wu Liang that Mo Qianhuan had told her about while she was still in Greece, she wouldn't have believed what she was seeing even if she were beaten to death.

"Sister Bai, Wu Liang's ordeal is far beyond your imagination. Can you imagine that mere misfortune could bring an unfinished, massive robot to life and drive it into a berserk state?"

"And I've never said Wu Liang is an ordinary person. He's anything but ordinary. Have you ever seen an ordinary person who can dismantle a robot with their bare hands?"

"He is special, he is a special being. Whether it's the aura of misfortune I can see from him, or the Death Line you saw on him, Sister Bai, Wu Liang is the most special kind of medium."

Mo Qianhuan's voice was especially serious. No one cared more about the misfortune that Wu Liang carried than she did. Since arriving in Greece, she had never stopped investigating the events related to the misfortune.

She met Senior Bai Yu later at the church. Bai Yu had an even more sensitive spiritual constitution than she did, and she also had the ability to see the "Death Line" on other people's bodies.

To put it more bluntly, Senior Bai Yu has the ability to foresee death. Although she cannot predict the exact day, she can determine a general time.

Moreover, Senior Bai Yu has spent much more time studying at the church than she has, and Senior Bai Yu's abilities are far superior to hers, who is only a half-baked amateur. If Senior Bai Yu were to go to Wu Liang's side, she would surely discover something.

"I really want to believe what you're saying, but don't you think it's a bit of an exaggeration? That guy just looks like a slightly muscular young man."

Bai Yu rubbed her hair into a mess and smiled bitterly. It wasn't that she didn't want to believe what Huanhuan said, but Huanhuan's description was just too outrageous.

A human, and an 18-year-old high school student at that, single-handedly dismantled a several-meter-tall axe-wielding robot. Even more astonishingly, that axe-wielding robot could move and use weapons...

Even if she dreamed of something this absurd, she couldn't possibly imagine it. Is he a superman? And even if the misfortune surrounding him is terrifying, it's impossible for him to control such a behemoth.

"He's the man who can work miracles, and he's also my one and only."

"Pfft! What did you say? What first time???"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu choked on a mouthful of apple pie. What was that? What did Mo Qianhuan say about being number one...?

"He's the first person I've ever met who could forcibly rewrite misfortune; his very existence is a miracle."

Far away in Greece, Mo Qianhuan gripped her phone tightly, her gaze fixed firmly on the distant night sky.

Even though Bai Yu said that Wu Liang had countless "Death Line" on his body, she didn't think that he would definitely die in the near future...

Chapter Seven: An Awkward Morning

4 AM

"What on earth is this guy doing...?"

Back in her room, Qiao Xinying looked speechlessly at Wu Liang, who was lying on the bed in a starfish position, his brows furrowed and muttering to himself. He was probably having a nightmare.

She tiptoed to Wu Liang's bedside and looked down at him. This was the first time she had ever seen Wu Liang so frightened by a nightmare.

Suddenly, Wu Liang curled up like a shrimp, trembling, his teeth chattering, and cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Qiao Xinying panicked. What was going on all of a sudden?

"Wu Liang, wake up! It was just a nightmare. You'll be fine once you wake up."

Seeing Wu Liang curled up in fear, Qiao Xinying's heart softened. She leaned down and whispered his name to him.

She reached out her small, fair hand and grasped Wu Liang's palm, wanting to offer him some warmth, but she found that Wu Liang's fingers were unusually cold, as cold as the extreme ice on a thousand-year-old snow mountain.

But Wu Liang, still asleep, seemed to feel the warmth in her hands. He wanted more warmth, so he pulled Qiao Xinying onto the bed and hugged her tightly.

"Wu Liang, what are you doing...?"

Startled Qiao Xinying hurriedly screamed, but when she saw Wu Liang gradually calm down and his complexion improve, she slowly closed her mouth.

"Fine, it's rare to see you so vulnerable, so I'll let you hug me for a little while."

Qiao Xinying raised her head and silently glanced at Wu Liang's sleeping face. The position was really ambiguous. She was now snuggling in his arms like a cat, being gently held by him.

Looking quietly at the other person's handsome features, with a pair of sword-like eyebrows etched beneath his messy, tousled hair, Wu Liang could indeed be considered a handsome man.

"Ha, I was terrified when I slept next to you before..."

Qiao Xinying gently stroked Wu Liang's nose. "Forget it, let's go to sleep. This guy wouldn't do anything to me; he doesn't have the guts."

"What happened?"

Wu Liang rubbed his arm, which had gone numb from being pressed down. He wondered if he had pressed down on his arm while sleeping or something else. It was soft and bouncy, and there was a unique fragrance in the blankets.

He silently clenched his fist. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have squeezed something soft not long ago.

"Am I still half asleep?"

Frustrated, Wu Liang rubbed his hair and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. The hour hand was perfectly still on the number 7.

"Hmm, I should go and confirm the test of courage with the Rat. But who exactly is that woman named Bai Yu that we met last night?"

Wu Liang, sporting a messy head of hair, frowned slightly. Should he go ask Qiao Ranxin? Oh well, it's better to wash his face and refresh himself first.

"Um... toothbrush cup... toothbrush cup..."

Half-asleep, Wu Liang rummaged through the cabinet for a water glass. Speaking of which, did Mo Qianhuan really spend the whole night on the phone yesterday?

"Should we gossip about her boyfriend...?"

As Wu Liang brushed his teeth, he was thinking, when a sound like flowing water slowly sounded behind him.

"Huh? I didn't turn on the tap, did I??"

Having regained some clarity, Wu Liang looked at the sink in front of him with a puzzled expression. The faucet was fine, but it wasn't turned on. So where was this trickling sound coming from?

Wu Liang slowly raised his head, his sleepiness instantly vanished, and all his muscles and nerves tensed up. The toothbrush in his mouth also slipped out without him realizing it.

Wu Liang stared blankly at the mirror in front of her with wide eyes. She saw a pair of long, snow-white legs shimmering in the mirror, and cute pink pajama pants draped over her little feet.

"..."

A sudden dryness gripped Wu Liang's mouth, and he couldn't help but lick his lips. He then placed the toothbrush cup on the sink and slowly raised his hands.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

Wu Liang stared intently at the mirror. Although he had covered the most important part of his reflection, he could tell who was sitting on the toilet behind him just by looking at those long, beautiful legs.

"If you dare turn around, you're finished."

A cold, piercing yet slightly shy female voice slowly rang out, and at that moment, Qiao Xinying felt like she was going crazy.

She had only wanted to relieve herself on a whim. Wu Liang had been sleeping so soundly just moments before, so how did he suddenly wake up? All she did was forget to lock the door today, so why did he have to run into her?

But Wu Liang just swaggered in like that? It's also because she was too focused on what happened last night and didn't react immediately.

"Um, should I finish brushing my teeth first?"

Wu Liang smiled awkwardly; he hadn't expected it to be such a "coincidence."

"If you dare to bow your head, you're dead."

Qiao Xinying bit her lip hard, trying to keep her voice from trembling. She pressed her long legs together tightly, then covered her private parts with one hand and murmured with a flushed face.

"I'll go out now."

Just as Wu Liang was about to move slightly away from the mirror, Qiao Xinying's figure was half revealed in the mirror, her smooth skin and naked lower body directly exposed to Wu Liang in front of the mirror.

"Don't move!"

Qiao Xinying stared in horror at her reflection in the mirror, her voice suddenly rising several octaves, leaving Wu Liang stunned on the spot.

"..."

Unable to leave or stay, Wu Liang stood rooted to the spot like a wooden stake, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his tense nerves making him feel utterly exhausted.

"Phew, don't move, close your eyes, I'm going out, if you dare turn your head."

Qiao Xinying took a deep breath and stared intently at Wu Liang's back. This bastard was really driving her crazy. Couldn't he be a little more attentive?

"You have that much self-awareness. You can go out now, I'll explain to you later."

Wu Liang closed his eyes and waved his hand behind him. How could he dare to peek at the other person? He was afraid that Qiao Ranxin would come over and eat him alive. He didn't want to provoke them.

"Alright then."

Qiao Xinying calmed herself down and slowly moved to the side, taking out a tissue to wipe her body. Today, she had truly lost all face for the rest of her life.

"Ah!!!!"

Just as Qiao Xinying was about to stand up, she suddenly felt her foot slip, and her whole body fell forward uncontrollably.

"Careful."

Upon hearing the sound, Wu Liang quickly turned around and pulled Qiao Xinying, who was about to make intimate contact with the ground, into his arms...

Chapter 8: The chapter title was destroyed by C4.

Silence, a deathly silence. Wu Liang stared blankly at Qiao Xinying, who had collapsed into his arms, his gaze shifting unnaturally to the pink pajama bottoms and pale white thong lying on the ground to the side.

"Okay, let me explain."

His body gradually stiffened, and Wu Liang stammered an explanation. After seeing Qiao Xinying's increasingly dark face, Wu Liang resignedly lowered his head...

"Go to hell!"

With tears in her eyes and her ears flushed, Qiao Xinying raised her small fist and slammed it straight at Wu Liang's cheek. In an instant, the fists flashed, and Wu Liang was momentarily disoriented by the barrage of punches.

With her other small hand, she suddenly pinched Wu Liang's waist, and after grabbing a piece of soft flesh, she mustered all her strength and twisted it tightly, refusing to let go.

What followed was Wu Liang's heart-wrenching screams, which echoed continuously in the confined space for a long time without subsiding.

"So that's how it is."

Su Qian looked at Wu Liang, whose face was bruised and swollen, and Qiao Xinying, whose face was slightly flushed, playing cards with Ning Shuang. She had heard Wu Liang's screams clearly.

Although she could guess that something had happened between the two of them, this was the first time she had ever seen Wu Liang so miserably treated by a woman. What exactly had Qiao Xinying done to him?

"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell when I went out."

Wu Liang waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but the slight pain in his cheek still made him feel exhausted. Was it really his fault that he didn't close the bathroom door?

If he had known that Qiao Xinying was in the bathroom, he certainly wouldn't have gone in. The virtue of closing the door behind you is taught in elementary school textbooks. That girl is really thick-skinned.

It's fortunate that he didn't see anything, otherwise, given Qiao Xinying's strong-willed personality, she might have tormented him in some way.

"You fell down? I think even ten falls wouldn't achieve the same effect as you."

Han Yu glanced at Wu Liang with disdain. She could guess what had happened between him and Qiao Xinying even if she had no idea.
