chapter 24
24: The Unnoticeable Disguise
“So you’re saying, you dressed up as your brother just to test me.”
Fingers rhythmically tapping on the table, Wu Liang and his group sat in the garden courtyard, chatting casually.
Wu Liang squinted at Nan Qing Shui in front of him, worthy of being a beauty blogger, her skin care was really not ordinary.
Her tender skin was clear and translucent like polished jade, and even now, without any foundation, she still exuded the beauty of a refined and pure makeup look, her bright, spirited eyes even more lively.
To achieve such an effect with a bare face, it’s hard to imagine what a beauty she would be with makeup on.
“Hehe…”
Nan Qing Shui scratched the back of her head awkwardly, not expecting to be uncovered so quickly.
But it was also because she had been too bold. If she hadn’t made that intimate move towards Wu Liang, he wouldn’t have noticed.
“Nan Qing Shui, I remember that name being quite famous in the first year.”
As if she was trying hard to remember something, Ning Shuang propped her chin on her chest, biting a lollipop with a look of deep thought.
Nan Qing Shui, this name actually sounds very familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere before.
But when I try to recall, I can’t remember immediately, where have I heard it…
“Is Qing Shui famous at the academy?”
Nan Zhu was taken aback by the question, his sister seemed to be doing quite well here.
But his sister has always been very well-behaved, he didn’t expect her to be so popular at school.
“Your sister is not just popular at school.”
Wu Liang rested his chin on his hand and looked at Nan Qing Shui coldly, don’t be fooled by this girl’s pretty face.
But her personality is quite troublesome, just talking about the number of pranks she’s pulled off at the academy, Nan Qing Shui has already earned the title of “Prank Master.”
“Qing Shui, didn’t you say you were well-behaved at school?”
Through Wu Liang’s gaze, Nan Zhu, who had almost figured out Nan Qing Shui, frowned slightly.
Has this girl been deceiving him all along, he really shouldn’t have believed her lies.
“I am well-behaved, during class.”
Nan Qing Shui shrugged nonchalantly, she hadn’t lied to her brother, she was indeed very well-behaved during class.
She never did any small movements in class, nor did she whisper with other students.
She would just close her eyes, stretch her legs, and honestly sleep until the class was over.
“You girl, how can you make me explain this to our parents in heaven.”
Nan Zhu slammed his palm on the table and scolded loudly.
Their parents were most worried about Qing Shui before they left, so he took great care of her, fearing she would become an uneducated child.
But he didn’t expect that Qing Shui’s well-behaved appearance at home was all an act, she had been deceiving him all along.
“You don’t know anything, so don’t preach to me here!”
Nan Qing Shui was furious when the male lead brought up their late parents.
She glared at Nan Zhu and after dropping such a sentence, she ran away from the courtyard.
“Ah… you’ve made your sister angry…”
Ning Shuang complained as she watched Nan Qing Shui run away.
Even if Nan Zhu is her brother, he shouldn’t speak to his sister in that tone.
“I don’t understand Qing Shui, but I want to improve our relationship, that’s why I chose to transfer here.”
Nan Zhu covered his forehead and murmured dejectedly, his sister had become very strange to him.
He didn’t want to continue like this, if it went on, he and Qing Shui would only drift further apart.
“Wu Liang, I apologize to you for my sister’s matters, I shouldn’t have agreed to her request.”
“I was supposed to personally thank you, but now it’s turned into this mess.”
Nanzhu gave a bitter smile. If it weren’t for agreeing to Seishui’s request, Wu Liang wouldn’t have been dragged into this.
“Hey, I didn’t expect you’d actually step in to save someone, especially from a bunch of thugs.”
“Awesome, partner! You truly are my Ning Shuang’s close friend.”
Ning Shuang nudged Wu Liang with her elbow, sporting a mischievous grin.
Her partner really was reliable, it’s just a pity she missed Wu Liang’s impressive moment.
“Didn’t I say that was just an accident before?”
Wu Liang glanced at Ning Shuang beside him, wondering what was up with the smoky makeup on her face.
Dark and murky, why does she always make herself look so ghostly?
“Wu Liang, I need to go find that kid Seishui.”
“Wait until tomorrow, I’ll bring the kid to properly apologize to you.”
Nanzhu stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Liang, expressing his gratitude for the morning.
Wu Liang is definitely not a bad person, that was Nanzhu’s first instinct.
If possible, he also hoped to become friends with Wu Liang.
“Ah… there’s no need for that… I don’t mind…”
Wu Liang waved his hand dismissively, not really bothered by the incident with Seishui.
After all, it was his initial nervousness that prevented him from seeing through Seishui’s disguise.
“Then I’ll take my leave now.”
Nanzhu bid a simple farewell to Wu Liang and followed the direction Seishui had left.
“Hey, your sister might be under the tree in the center of the artificial lake, try looking there.”
Watching Nanzhu’s hurried departure, Wu Liang fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking out.
Touched by the genuine concern Nanzhu had for his sister, Wu Liang felt a stir of emotion.
“Is that so!? Thank you very much! Delinquent student!!”
Nanzhu was taken aback, then loudly expressed his thanks, indeed the delinquent student was a kind-hearted person.
“It’s Wu Liang.”
Wu Liang crossed his arms, looking dissatisfied as he corrected him.
