The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine

“The Second Death Love Game Begins!”

“Master Wu Liang, are you sure these are the items you need?”

Yao Shi looked puzzled at the cart’s ledger and the numerous books on logical thinking.

Master Wu Liang’s sudden order to prepare these items made her somewhat concerned.

“Not enough, I need some books on deduction as well.”

Without turning from his laptop screen, Wu Liang instructed Yao Shi.

His fingers were flying over the keyboard; he seemed to have been knocked out by a lead ball that came out of nowhere.

And this plot twist had just occurred early in the game, which meant the real storyline hadn’t even started yet.

If he could improve the main male and female characters’ perception of him, the chances of avoiding death would be much higher.

Among the many female leads, one of them was his classmate He Xue.

Wouldn’t it be quite simple for him to craft a perfect image for the male lead in front of He Xue?

“No, that’s not right. I’m the notorious young master now. It’d be a miracle if He Xue believed anything I said.”

Wu Liang quickly dismissed this plan, stroking his chin in agitated thought.

It seemed that matchmaking the male and female leads was not going to be an easy task.

“But what if I end up matching myself in the process?”

The thought popped into his head unbidden.

What if, ‘by accident,’ the female leads developed feelings of love for him?

“Heh, what am I even thinking? How could any of the female leads fall for a bug?”

He dismissed the absurd thought within three seconds of its occurrence.

In the game’s setting, Wu Liang was just a bug. Who would fall in love with a bug? The answer was definitely no.

“I need to get discharged quickly…”

Wu Liang typed randomly on the computer; he had to get back to school before the male and female leads met.

“Yao Shi, process my discharge.”

“Young master, you’ve only been hospitalized for a day, and the doctor said you need to stay for observation for at least three days.”

Yao Shi said coldly, rejecting Wu Liang’s request.

As Wu Liang’s personal maid, his health was her top priority.

“This is an order.”

Wu Liang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling streets below.

Yao Shi, his maid, had no right to interfere with his wishes.

“Fine… I’ll contact the director to arrange your discharge this afternoon…”

Looking at the suddenly mature and composed Wu Liang, Yao Shi’s eyes revealed a complex emotion, “Thanks, I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free.”

Wu Liang gazed out the window at the world that had already changed and smiled faintly.

————————————-

“Great! Discharge!!”

Originally, that was Wu Liang’s plan.

But who would have thought that halfway through, a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear, forcing him to postpone his plan.

“Liang’er, did you have Yao Shi handle your discharge procedures without permission?”

Clad in a snow-white shirt with a pure black coat draped over it, the elegant professional attire beautifully outlined the woman’s graceful leg curves.

Her tender skin was as delicate as a baby’s, breakable with a mere puff, and not a single wrinkle could be seen at the smooth corners of her eyes.

If Wu Liang hadn’t already known the true age of the woman before him, he might have mistaken her for his sister.

“Ah… Mom… What brings you here…”

Wu Liang sat on the hospital bed, his head full of black lines, as the woman before him was his mother, Mu Xinrou.

Although she was merely sitting casually with her legs crossed in front of him, the subtle aura of authority emanating from Mu Xinrou sent a chill down his spine.

“Why the rush to be discharged? Give me a reasonable explanation.”

Mu Xinrou tapped her folding fan against her palm, producing a crisp sound in the empty room.

In fact, Mu Xinrou was quite puzzled. Why would Liang’er suddenly plan to leave the hospital?

Given Liang’er’s personality, he should have been eager to stay a few more days.

“I have some private matters to attend to at school, and I hope you won’t interfere, Mother.”

Wu Liang glanced at Mu Xinrou and sighed helplessly.

Although Mu Xinrou was Wu Liang’s mother, they rarely saw each other due to work commitments.

Busy with her career, Mu Xinrou tried to make up for the absence in Wu Liang’s childhood by doting on him excessively.

But it was precisely because of this that Wu Liang had become too presumptuous, and his character had become quite twisted.

“School? Which girl has caught your eye this time?”

Hearing Wu Liang mention school, Mu Xinrou’s brows furrowed even more.

If she remembered correctly, this child had previously taken a liking to a bad girl.

“Sorry, I have no feelings for women.”

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment, then earnestly denied Mu Xinrou’s speculation.

“Pfft…”

The sudden burst of laughter made Wu Liang and Mu Xinrou turn their heads to look back.

Yao Shi tilted her head in puzzlement, her icy cheeks devoid of any emotion.

“Alright, since you’re insistent on returning to the academy, I won’t stop you, but you’ll need to keep things quiet for a while.”

Muxin Rou massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. “There’s something odd about Wu Liang today,” she said with a sense of unease.

“Alright, I promise I won’t cause you any more trouble, Mother.”

Wu Liang offered a gentle smile, finally managing to appease Muxin Rou.

“……”

Muxin Rou watched Wu Liang with a peculiar expression, at a loss for words to voice her own doubts.

After a long silence, Muxin Rou approached Wu Liang and tenderly embraced him.

“Don’t keep it all inside, talk to Mom more.”

Thinking Wu Liang was troubled, Muxin Rou spoke softly, her maternal radiance shining through, moving Yao Shi who stood behind her.

After all, in Yao Shi’s eyes, Muxin Rou had always been a woman of strong presence and pride.

“Wu Liang understands.”

Inhaling the fresh scent emanating from Muxin Rou, Wu Liang felt much more at ease.

Although Muxin Rou was just a character in the game and not his real mother,

Wu Liang, who had never experienced maternal love, couldn’t help but feel comforted, his restless emotions soothed.

“Madam, it’s time to board the plane, the master is already waiting for you.”

A deep voice sounded from behind the door.

A bodyguard dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, entered the room.

“Then, Mother will go first, take good care of yourself.”

Muxin Rou ruffled Wu Liang’s hair and smiled faintly.

She nodded towards Yao Shi at the door, then left it in her hands.

“That guy really didn’t come to see me…”

After watching Muxin Rou leave the hospital room, Wu Liang murmured to himself while stroking his chin.

Indeed, Wu Liang’s father was just like the character set in the game, treating him as nothing more than useless trash.

“But after this, Father’s view of me might change a bit…”

Wu Liang crossed his arms and watched Muxin Rou drive away, smiling slightly.

What Wu Liang never expected was that because of Muxin Rou, the entire game’s storyline underwent a dramatic change.

———————————

P.S.: Wu Liang no longer bullies Nan Zhu and the female lead, nor does he maliciously hinder their progress.

Logically, as long as Wu Liang doesn’t interact with the male and female leads, he can live his carefree life without dying.

This issue has been brought up by many readers in their complaints, so I’ll explain it here for everyone.

The concept of “Wu Liang will die” is based on the premise that the male and female leads do not achieve the true perfect ending.

In other words, as long as the male lead and the heroines do not reach the true ending, Wu Liang will die no matter what he does.

Even if Wu Liang avoids contact with the male lead and the heroines, even if Wu Liang becomes a great philanthropist, as long as the male lead does not reach the true ending, he will die due to the world’s will (game setting).

To put it bluntly, Wu Liang is now on a game route where “certain death” is the outcome.

Everyone can understand “Wu Liang will die” as something that is bound to happen one day in the future and is unavoidable.

Regardless of whether Wu Liang interferes with the progress between the male lead and each heroine, the concept of “Wu Liang must die” will be triggered.

This has nothing to do with whether Wu Liang oppresses the male lead; you can think of it as an inevitable death ending.

The world Wu Liang is now in has a future ending of “death” that has already been planned.

You can refer to the inevitable death ending in “Steins;Gate” that is well-reasoned. It’s something that has been planned by the world, and no matter how much one struggles, it’s very difficult to change the fact that death is inevitable.

This death could be a car accident, murder, or various other accidental deaths…

And there is only one way for Wu Liang to avoid this ending, which is for the male lead and the heroines to reach the true perfect ending.

That’s why Wu Liang actively chooses to matchmake the male lead with each heroine. (After all, reaching the true perfect ending is very difficult, and the chances of reaching that ending are very slim.)

At this point, some readers may ask, if our Wu Liang is matchmaking others, what about himself?

Just keep reading, and you’ll find out. Rest assured, there are some clever maneuvers waiting for you, after all, Wu Liang is the protagonist of this book.

But to be honest, the “Wu Liang will die” thing is actually just a forced plot by the author to make Wu Liang actively matchmake Nan Zhu and the heroine.

You don’t have to take it too seriously. If you ask why, it’s because the plot demands it.
