The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine

20: “The Male Lead” Wants to Make Friends~

“Boss… Boss… who is this?”

Mouse stared blankly at Nanbamboo trailing behind them.

How did this sudden transfer student get so close to the boss?

Wasn’t I here first? Why does this pretty boy seem more familiar than me?

“It’s a long story…”

Wu Liang looked back at Nanbamboo with a head full of black lines.

Recalling the recent events, that woman Ye Huan Tong really knew how to stir up trouble.

If I remember correctly, when Nanbamboo first transferred, the first person he met was He Xue, right?

And wasn’t it He Xue who showed Nanbamboo around the school? How come now it’s me and Mouse showing him around?

“What kind of mess is this, the plot has twisted all the way to your grandma’s house.”

Wu Liang complained, rubbing his forehead, feeling more and more off-script.

Ever since that night he met He Xue, things started to feel strange.

“Boss, did Teacher Ye really ask you to show him around the school?”

Mouse was utterly confused; Teacher Ye should know very well what kind of person the boss is.

Why would she suddenly ask the boss to do this? And even more outrageous, the boss actually agreed.

The boss used to disdain such tasks, how come after getting hit on the head, everything feels different?

“Or should she have asked you?”

Wu Liang rolled his eyes at Mouse.

Who knows what goes on in Ye Huan Tong’s head.

To think she’d have me, the delinquent heir, play tour guide, thanks to her brilliant idea.

“Hey Delinquent, you guys are walking a bit too fast, could you slow down a bit?”

Nanbamboo jogged up to Wu Liang and Mouse, smiling as he spoke.

These two were taking such big steps, it was hard for him to keep up.

Especially Wu Liang, it was as if he was deliberately keeping a distance, walking faster and faster.

“It’s Wu Liang, not Delinquent.”

Wu Liang twitched the corner of his eye at Nanbamboo, if it weren’t for you being the male lead, see if I wouldn’t poke you.

The one thing Wu Liang couldn’t stand in his life was being called a delinquent, delinquent this, delinquent that, is this name discrimination or what?

“You’re really quite shy, aren’t you? Even though we’re so familiar with each other.”

Nanzhu walked shoulder to shoulder with Wu Liang, her laughter ringing in the air.

Despite being so familiar with each other, and him having saved her once before.

Who would have thought Wu Liang could be so bashful? Perhaps this is what they mean by ‘looks can be deceiving.’

Could this be considered a ‘gap moe’? Even though he’s a guy, it’s quite interesting.

“Don’t talk nonsense here. If you don’t want to continue the tour, just say so.”

Wu Liang placed his hand on Nanzhu’s head and ruffled it vigorously, turning her hair into a bird’s nest.

But Wu Liang, as if sensing something, frowned slightly and looked at his palm with a hint of confusion.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t do that. At least take me to see the library and the cafeteria!”

Nanzhu protected her head, a mix of laughter and tears in her voice.

Did she accidentally hit a nerve with Wu Liang? Why else would his reaction be so intense?

“If you want to go, then follow me properly.”

Wu Liang glared at Nanzhu, then turned his gaze to the surroundings.

He had noticed from the start, could the people around stop looking over here with such fiery gazes?

Was it just because he was showing a transfer student around the campus? Is this the so-called ‘male lead effect’? (Male Lead Effect: Constantly attracting the attention of others)

“Yes~”

Nanzhu laughed with interest, her hands clasped behind her back as she hopped and skipped following Wu Liang’s steps.

She felt that this Wu Liang was even more interesting than she had thought, at least from what she could see now.

He wasn’t as difficult to get along with as he appeared on the surface; it was just a matter of saying one thing and feeling another.

“……”

The mouse, long ignored to the side, stood petrified in black and white, watching Wu Liang and Nanzhu walk away.

Tears streamed down his cheeks, the boss… the boss had changed his heart…

He never expected the boss to be such a cold, heartless person who tires of the old and loves the new; his heart was shattering into pieces.

That pretty boy was just a bit more handsome, and the boss had become so close to him after just one meeting.

“I was wrong about you. From now on, let that pretty boy follow you.”

The mouse stood in place, sniffling and crying, a picture of misery.

The boss he admired had never taken him seriously from the start, making him look like a fawning dog.

No, he refused to be such a spineless fawner, a fawning dog, fawning until he had nothing left.

“I won’t fawn anymore.”

The mouse wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, his gaze firm as he spoke.

From today onwards, he, Rat, will absolutely not…

“Hey, you’re falling behind. Hurry up and catch up; we’re heading to the library next.”

Wu Liang frowned slightly upon seeing Rat dawdling alone behind.

Ever since a while ago, Rat had been acting strangely, muttering to himself.

“Eh? Alright! Coming, coming! Boss, I’m on my way~~!”

Upon hearing Wu Liang calling him, Rat, who had been cursing under his breath, immediately perked up and scurried after him with a beaming smile.

Sheesh, look at that, the boss really does care about me, otherwise why would he suddenly call out like that?

A sycophant, a sycophant; if it weren’t for true affection, who would willingly play the sycophant?

“Wu Liang, it seems like you don’t really have any friends.”

“You’re quite popular with the girls, but among the boys, you seem very isolated.”

Nan Zhu recalled the scene he had witnessed in the classroom not long ago.

Wu Liang’s handsome appearance was indeed popular with the girls, but for some reason, the boys seemed to fear him greatly.

As if Wu Liang were some kind of demon, none of the boys would approach him voluntarily.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to be your friend. What do you think?”

Halfway through, Nan Zhu took confident strides and walked up to Wu Liang.

Since Wu Liang had no friends around him, why not let himself be the first?

Nan Zhu trusted his instincts; this seemingly arrogant boy in front of him was definitely someone worthy of being a close friend.

(Rat: Are you blind? Am I not Wu Liang’s friend? Or do you simply not see me as a person??)

“I mind.”

Wu Liang watched the earnest protagonist before him with a twitch in his eye.

If the game developers knew that their designed protagonist and the biggest villainous Boss became friends…

Then surely, those guys would have quite the interesting expressions on their faces…..
