65: He Xue’s Change of Heart (Vote for monthly tickets!!)

Entering the inner room with a heart full of unease, Wu Liang gazed at the resting He Xue and fell into deep thought.

Should he wake her up now, or should he just let her sleep peacefully?

Waking her might provoke her displeasure, or even lower his already not-so-great favorability in her heart.

But if he didn’t wake her, the concoction might cool down after a while.

“Where’s Teacher Liu?”

He Xue, who had appeared to be sound asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight in bed.

Her body was taut as a bow, but her face was expressionless, just looking faintly at Wu Liang.

“She had to step out for a bit, this is pain relief medicine, drink it.”

Wu Liang was startled by He Xue’s sudden sitting up, as if she had springs under her.

Was she equipped with springs underneath? Such a non-human way of getting up was indeed remarkable.

“Um… thank you…”

Upon hearing that Liu Yan had already left, He Xue’s tense cheeks immediately softened.

Fearing that Liu Yan would misunderstand something between her and Wu Liang, she had to put on an indifferent facade.

After all, Teacher Liu Yan was always quite gossipy about these matters, and she didn’t want to give her any wrong ideas.

Eh? Wait, why did she deliberately put on an indifferent face? Wouldn’t that just clearly show that she actually cared a lot about Wu Liang?

Suddenly realizing her mistake, He Xue couldn’t help but sigh deeply, pressing her forehead.

Thankfully, Teacher Liu Yan had already left; if she had seen He Xue’s earlier demeanor, she would probably have been teased again.

“It’s okay, it’s normal for classmates to help each other out.”

Wu Liang placed the concoction by He Xue’s bedside, then retreated a few steps to sit on the bed behind, widening the distance between them.

It wasn’t surprising that he was so cautious; after all, the old Wu Liang had harassed her and left a very bad impression.

If he made her uncomfortable, it would just be him asking for trouble.

“Classmates… huh…”

He Xue cradled the instant mix in her hands, whispering these words to herself.

A trace of desolation tinted her pretty face; the term “classmate” felt incredibly distant to her.

Though she was a member of Senior Year 2, Class 5, and jokingly called the class belle,

In a sense, aside from Han Yu, she had no so-called classmates or friends.

In everyone’s eyes, she seemed like an independent entity, an existence left out in the cold.

From this perspective, she and Wu Liang had something in common; both were isolated souls.

“Those people aren’t really classmates to me, just slightly more familiar strangers,”

After a moment of silence, He Xue slowly spoke, sharing no common language with them.

She couldn’t fit into the circles of young masters and mistresses.

Her presence at this school was only due to her outstanding grades and her father’s good relationship with one of the teachers.

Otherwise, with her family background, how could she possibly enter this academy reserved for the nobility?

“……”

Wu Liang didn’t speak but sat quietly beside, watching He Xue.

He knew the predicament He Xue faced in Senior Year 2, Class 5, and he understood her feelings.

Though He Xue was part of the class, the students treated her as an outsider.

If one were to ask why, it was the gap in status and identity.

In this elite academy of heirs and heiresses, He Xue’s family was considered the lowest of the low, utterly out of place.

He Xue, amidst such nobility, had no topics to share in conversation.

The other students wouldn’t even deign to interact with He Xue, the gap in their statuses too vast.

He Xue was an outcast in the splendid Xing Academy, not seen as a part of it due to her status.

Such was the class rule, nauseating yet tacitly accepted by all faculty and students in the Xing Academy.

“Ah, sorry, I’ve said too much. I’m not complaining, after all, the gap between us is indeed…”

“No matter how great the gap in status, you are a member of this splendid Xing Academy, a part of my world.”

“You are a unique individual, you don’t need others’ approval, just mine is enough.”

It felt as familiar as if etched deep within his DNA, as if he was meant to say these words at this very moment.

“Eh? What’s happening?”

Suddenly snapping back to reality, Wu Liang quickly covered his mouth and furrowed his brow.

What had he just said? Why had he involuntarily spoken those words?

From noble mtl dot nete

No, those words felt eerily familiar, as if he could recite them backward, but where had he heard them before…?

“Pfft…”

The laughter in front of him snapped Wu Liang back to reality.

Wu Liang, dazed, lifted his head, only to see He Xue’s desolate eyes now tinged with mirth.

As if she had heard some amusing joke, He Xue giggled away.

Her eyes narrowed into crescents, covering her mouth with a light chuckle, the somber atmosphere that once surrounded her dissipated in an instant.

With He Xue’s laughter, Wu Liang felt as if their relationship had unknowingly taken a step closer.

“I think a shot put must have smashed your head, the old you would never say something so cringeworthy.”

He Xue continued to giggle behind her hand, her previous melancholy shattered by Wu Liang’s embarrassingly earnest words.

Who would have thought Wu Liang could say such things? It seems she didn’t know him at all.

What do you mean ‘your approval is enough’? Who do you think you are, an emperor? Putting on airs here.

But He Xue had to admit, Wu Liang’s somewhat humorous words did put her at ease a great deal.

“Just pretend you didn’t hear anything.”

Wu Liang, covering his forehead, thought, ah, I wish I could just die, just die, just die.

“Thank you.”

He Xue said tenderly, looking at Wu Liang.

Perhaps she really had misunderstood him; he had changed. The boy before her was no longer the little ruffian who used to play the rogue.

If Wu Liang could truly leave his past behind, then she was willing to forgive the pranks he had played on her…
