chapter 14
14: The Other Side of Ye Shengtong
“Boss… Boss…”
‘Mouse’ stared blankly at the imposing Wu Liang, momentarily stunned.
Although the boss had always been a delinquent, he had never shown such a domineering aura.
This sudden change in Wu Liang made him feel as if he was in a dream.
Is this really happening, or is he dreaming? The boss was just hit by a shot put, could it have awakened a second personality?
Or did that shot put awaken him, is he about to turn into a Super Saiyan?
“Is this still the same Wu Liang from before? This is completely not the same person. -_-“
“Mom… I think I’m in love… I’m sorry… I think I’ve fallen for a bad boy… ♡◡♡”
“What on earth has Wu Liang been through to end up like this now? (° △ °)”
The onlookers first watched the blond guy squatting on the ground, continuously rubbing his arms.
Then, their gazes collectively shifted to Wu Liang, especially when they saw the chill in his eyes.
Everyone present couldn’t help but shiver; that look, as if viewing a paramecium, a single-celled organism, was just too intense.
“A counterfeit… a counterfeit Gilgamesh?”
The boys said with twitching eyes, unsure if it was their misjudgment.
They felt that today’s Wu Liang had an inexplicable madness, but this arrogance didn’t repel people.
Instead, it gave them the illusion that this was Wu Liang’s true nature, the original demeanor of the Wu family’s young master.
“Hey Rat, aren’t you the closest to Wu Liang lately? Can you explain what’s going on?”
A few girls approached Rat, asking with puzzlement.
Although they were reluctant to interact with this sly-looking guy, they had to in order to understand Wu Liang.
After all, this boy had the best relationship with Wu Liang, being his loyal lackey; he should know something.
“Uh, no, I’m not clear on what’s going on with Young Master Wu Liang either…”
Rat hadn’t expected these girls to initiate a conversation with him.
He shyly lowered his head, not daring to look at the girls in front of him, stammering as he spoke.
He wasn’t good at interacting with girls; due to his appearance, being called disgusting by them wasn’t a one-time occurrence.
This led to his extreme self-consciousness in front of girls, especially beautiful ones, to the point where he didn’t dare look at their faces.
Afraid of leaving a bad impression and further tarnishing his own image.
“But if you want to know about Young Master Wu Liang, I could tell you…”
As Rat mustered the courage to look up, his cheeks flushed, he realized the girls had already walked away.
“I could tell you about the boss’s story…”
Rat muttered to himself, wondering if this was really how his first conversation with girls was going to end…
He laughed at himself, thinking it was just as well; with his looks, it was nice enough that they talked to him at all.
Just now, he had even thought about having a long chat with those girls; how foolish, not to have any self-awareness.
“But the boss now, he really does look cool…”
Rat shook his head, casting aside the trivial thoughts, and looked again at Wu Liang, who had already left the classroom.
Looking at him this way, the boss’s figure was actually quite broad, just like when he first met Boss Wu Liang…

*Knock knock knock*
Wu Liang gently knocked on the snow-white ivory door a few times before pushing it open and entering the room.
A red velvet carpet lay at the center of the hallway, with golden veins adorning the marble floor.
Luxurious crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and huge cashmere curtains covered the floor-to-ceiling windows, yet the room was still very bright.
Had Wu Liang not known this was one of the teachers’ offices, he might have mistaken it for the grand hall of a noble’s mansion.
But for the illustrious Xingyuan High School, such ornate decor was quite common and ordinary.
As a private high school that almost exclusively catered to the scions of noble families, it naturally outclassed ordinary schools by several hundred degrees.
Wu Liang, stepping into the room, cast a brief glance around; the other teachers were not present.
Thus, it was easy for him to spot Ye Kuanhong, who was resting with his eyes closed at the writing desk.
“Teacher Ye, I…”
Approaching Ye Kuanhong, Wu Liang raised his hand intending to wake him.
But upon seeing Ye Kuanhong’s slightly pale face, he retracted his hand.
Standing beside Ye Kuanhong, he watched the other’s sleeping face, the long eyelashes trembling slightly, the vermilion lips moving as if in complaint.
Ye Kuanhong slept shallowly, his shirt half-open, revealing fair shoulders and a full, soft chest.
From Wu Liang’s angle, the springtime beauty of the scene was fully in view.
“…”
Wu Liang glanced at Ye Kuanhong’s broad chest, fell silent for a moment, then took a chair and sat down quietly beside him.
He pulled out an epic biography from Ye Kuanhong’s desk and began to flip through the pages, reading.
Trying to make as little noise as possible, Wu Liang carefully read the epic about King Arthur in his hands.
“Ye Kuanhong really does have a fondness for Western history.”
Wu Liang read with interest, wondering if he might find traces of Ye Kuanhong’s doodles in this book.
He even found at the end of the pages, drawings by Ye Kuanhong of little anime characters wielding weapons and fighting.
The artwork was indeed a bit rough around the edges, perhaps in need of some refinement.
Wu Liang, who had intended to pass the time by reading, found himself unexpectedly captivated by Ye Kuanhong’s anime characters.
In no time at all, Wu Liang had finished looking at Ye Kuanhong’s anime characters.
Feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Wu Liang took the “Epic of Gilgamesh” from Ye Kuanhong’s desk.
But as soon as he opened the first page, he was stunned by the emoticons that filled his vision.
“The noble King Gilgamesh is really too handsome!! (//▽//)”
“Though he was a tyrant, he did come to his senses in the end, long live the Hero King! L(‘ω’)┘三└(‘ω’)」”
“The king, bearing the people’s expectations, must feel an extraordinary pressure. (╥╯^╰╥)(╥╯^╰╥)”
Upon seeing the words written in red pen and the emoticons that nearly filled the entire page.
Wu Liang slowly raised his head and looked back at Ye Huanhuan, not expecting this guy to have such a cute side.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, Ye Huanhuan, this woman, is actually the number one fan of the hero king Gilgamesh?
“Hey, brat, what are you laughing at?”
Just then, a slightly displeased voice suddenly rang out in front of Wu Liang.
