The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine

Four: The Innocent Girl and Mr. Kentucky Chicken

“He… He Xue???”

Wu Liang said uncertainly, but the pure and charming girl in front of him indeed looked exactly like He Xue from the game.

But why would He Xue appear alone at this place at such a time?

Wasn’t she afraid of being followed by someone with ill intentions?

Or was the security in this game world surprisingly good, so there was no need to worry about such things happening?

“Do you know me?”

He Xue blinked her eyes in surprise, her sparkling eyes rippling like water, very attractive.

The man in front of her, wearing a Kentucky Chicken headpiece and exuding a sense of sorrow, actually knew her?

What a strange person, but the sadness he had shown earlier, as if abandoned by the world, made her quite concerned.

“Um… I’m also a student at the Glorious Academy…”

‘Long live Grandpa Kentucky Chicken’

Wu Liang muttered to himself, touching the Kentucky Chicken headpiece on his head, thankful for such a disguise.

If He Xue knew that the man under the headpiece was the villainous young master who everyone wanted to beat up, full of hate yet helpless, she probably wouldn’t give him the time of day.

“I guessed it would be so, but why are you sitting here alone at this time? You must be a patient, and also…”

He Xue bent down to look at the hospital gown on the other person, pointed to her own head with some confusion, indicating the Kentucky Chicken headpiece.

“I just came out to clear my mind, but why are you wandering alone in such a place?”

Wu Liang pulled down the Kentucky Chicken headpiece on his head, fearing that a gust of evening wind might blow it away.

He could guess the consequences of appearing before He Xue with his real face.

“I just came out to clear my mind as well, Mr. Kentucky Chicken.”

He Xue chuckled, her lips curving like a crescent moon.

Covering her skirt, her long, white legs pressed together, He Xue sat down next to Wu Liang.

“You must have slipped out from that hospital, my grandfather is also hospitalized there.”

He Xue said softly, kicking her legs, her voice flowing like gentle water, unhurried.

She had come out because the atmosphere in the ward was too oppressive, and she wanted to ease her mood.

Her grandfather’s illness had been dragging on for a long time, and if it continued, his body wouldn’t hold up.

“Your grandfather?”

Wu Liang turned to gaze at He Xue’s delicate profile, catching a glimpse of loneliness in her eyes that twinkled like stars.

If he remembered correctly, He Xue’s grandfather had passed away due to some illness in the game.

He was a very gentle elder who doted on He Xue immensely.

And it was precisely because of this that He Xue was later hit so hard by the loss.

“Yes, my grandfather contracted a very serious illness. Even here, at Yanghai City’s premier hospital, they’re powerless against it.”

He Xue lowered her head in a touch of melancholy, knowing all too well that her grandfather was already beyond help.

The doctors here couldn’t cure her grandfather’s illness; at best, they could only alleviate some of his suffering.

But she was content. She no longer yearned for anything else; as long as her grandfather wasn’t in pain, that was enough for her.

“Is that so…”

Wu Liang stared at He Xue’s pale face, which seemed even more ashen under the moonlight.

Feeling the helplessness and sorrow emanating from He Xue, Wu Liang felt a tightness in his chest.

He disliked the sensation of parting; in his original world, he was always the one left behind.

Thus, he couldn’t stand to witness scenes of separation and loss, as such lonely emotions easily affected him.

“Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Suddenly realizing something, He Xue hastily slapped her cheeks a couple of times.

With a face full of apologies, she looked at the gentleman beside her, Mr. Kending Chicken, and clasped her hands together in apology.

How could she let her emotions affect someone else? What was she really doing?

“It’s okay, you’re very worried about your grandfather. Have you tried praying? Sometimes it can be quite helpful.”

Wu Liang calmly looked at He Xue, whose cheeks were now a bit flushed. She was quite harsh on herself; those slaps earlier were quite loud.

But it’s no wonder she’s one of the heroines in the game; even in her panic, she was still so charming.

“Praying?”

He Xue was momentarily taken aback. Could such an act truly be effective?

To beseech the gods for blessings, for the religious to silently convey their wishes to the divine – but wasn’t that just a form of self-comfort?

“You could give it a try. In certain situations, prayer can indeed spark miracles.”

Wu Liang brought his hands together in front of him, demonstrating a simple prayer for He Xue.

Although as an outsider, he felt it wasn’t his place to intervene, but then…

Ding ding dang~ Ding ding dang~ The bells are jingling~×2

A pair of crisp bell tones echoed around He Xue and Wu Liang.

After exchanging a glance, both were startled; their cell phone ringtones were ringing in unison.

“It’s quite a coincidence, I never expected our ringtones to be so tasteless.”

He Xue stood up and lightly patted the non-existent dust off her skirt.

Going out for a walk today was indeed the right choice. Even though she barely exchanged a few words with the other person, she felt much more at ease.

He Xue looked at the KFC paper bag on the other person’s head and immediately found the big white chicken on the bag extremely cute.

“Um… quite the coincidence…”

Wu Liang slightly raised his hand, and upon realizing he still had the paper bag on his head, he awkwardly scratched the back of his neck instead.

He had set that ringtone just a few minutes ago out of boredom; after all, it was quite silly, don’t you think?

“Someone’s come to pick me up, I have to go back now. You shouldn’t stay here either, it gets very cold at night, be careful not to catch a cold.”

“Goodbye, Mr. KFC.”

He Xue hopped and skipped to the roadside, waving cheerfully at Wu Liang.

It was really great to meet him; this was the first time she had confided her troubles to a complete stranger.

Pray, then? Well, she would give it a try when she got back. If it could really trigger a miracle, that would be wonderful.

“……”

Wu Liang sat on the bench, waving at the gradually departing He Xue.

After watching He Xue disappear to the other side of the street, Wu Liang also stretched lazily and stood up from the bench.

“Ah… she didn’t ask for my name…”

Wu Liang muttered softly to himself, pulling out his phone from his pocket to check the caller ID.

Discovered by Yao Shi, huh… He couldn’t avoid another lecture from Yao Shi when he got back…

“Is the doctor’s skill not enough…”

Wu Liang stroked his chin, pondering He Xue’s words. The medical facilities here were definitely top-notch, but the top doctors were not currently in Yanghai City.

“Give a little help, Mr. KFC.”

Wu Liang put his hands in his pockets and smiled faintly.

A gust of evening wind blew, and Wu Liang shivered suddenly.

Hiss… even the summer nights are a bit chilly…
