73 Ning Shuang Doesn’t Want to Recall the Past

“Aren’t you afraid He Xue will hear all this?” Ning Shuang looked at Han Yu with a complex expression, as if looking at a devil incarnate.

Deceiving He Xue’s feelings and treating her like a pet? Was this her true nature?

The caring facade she put on daily was nothing but the attention a master pays to a pet, not the concern of a friend.

“Of course, I’m not afraid she’ll hear. She’s sleeping very soundly,” Han Yu said, gently shaking a sachet-like purse from her bosom.

He Xue is already exhausted. She needs a good rest now.

Before that child fully awakens, I shall have a proper chat with Ning Shuang.

“I don’t know what you’re doing this for, how playing with He Xue’s heart benefits you,” Ning Shuang said, clenching her fists involuntarily in anger.

Now, just seeing Han Yu infuriates her, especially after seeing that indifferent expression on her face.

She even wanted to rush up and punch her hard. What on earth was going through that woman’s head?

He Xue is just an ordinary person. Why can’t she let go of He Xue? How can someone’s heart be so filthy?

“Playing with He Xue? What are you talking about? I’ve never played with her,” Han Yu retorted.

“In my eyes, she has always been the cutest pet. As for why it’s He Xue…”

Han Yu covered her cheek, revealing a sickly smile. Isn’t that obvious?

“It’s because only He Xue can catch Wu Liang’s attention,” Han Yu said softly, like a low chant emanating from a deep valley.

Wu Liang is only interested in He Xue, and yet He Xue despises him.

Being favored by Wu Liang is a blessing she’s cultivated over a thousand lifetimes, yet she looks so unwilling.

Just a greenhorn standing on a pedestal, I really don’t know why Wu Liang would fancy such a woman.

She’s nothing but a pretty face. Apart from her looks, He Xue has nothing else to offer.

But that’s fine. Every time I see He Xue’s humiliated and angry face, I feel immense pleasure.

As for why I want to be He Xue’s best friend, of course, it’s to see Wu Liang often~~~

“You… you’re insane…” Ning Shuang was at a loss for words to describe her.

The sick woman before her was clearly a madwoman, her thoughts nothing like those of an ordinary person.

Becoming He Xue’s closest friend just because she can attract Wu Liang’s attention? What kind of logic is that?

“Miss Ning Shuang, you’re nothing more than an ornament by Mr. Wu Liang’s side.”

Han Yu smiled coldly, “How could a student like Wu Liang ever fall for a brainless woman with nothing but her looks, like Ning Shuang?”

Rumors are just rumors, yet she knew all too well the relationship between Ning Shuang and Wu Liang.

No one understood Wu Liang better than she did; she was the first to set her sights on him.

Whether in the past, present, or future, she has always been the one who knew Wu Liang best.

But the one she adored was that b*stard, the violent thug of a young master, not the courteous, gentle, and refined gentleman he is now.

She missed the old Wu Liang, wild and unrestrained; she loathed the gentle and mannered Wu Liang of today.

With such a drastic change in Wu Liang, Ning Shuang, who often lingered by his side, must know something.

“Irrational!”

The more Ning Shuang heard, the angrier she became, pushing Han Yu aside and heading for the door.

There was no reasoning with this madwoman; Han Yu was simply not normal.

Her mind seemed pathologically fixated on Wu Liang alone.

“Miss Ning Shuang, you wouldn’t want the term ‘murderer’ to spread around the academy, would you?” Han Yu said softly, watching Ning Shuang’s retreating back.

She lightly patted down the folds of her skirt, her casual demeanor as if she were discussing a trivial matter.

“You…”

Ning Shuang stopped in her tracks, her teeth biting down on her red lips, her complexion turning pale in an instant.

“Oh my? Could it be true? I was just saying it offhand~~~”

Han Yu feigned surprise, looking at Ning Shuang with an incredulous expression.

A glint of dark light shone from the depths of her deep purple eyes, her smile not quite a smile, sending shivers down one’s spine.

“What else do you know?”

Ning Shuang took a deep breath, realizing that the other party knew far more than she had imagined.

It wasn’t just her own affairs; Han Yu was also well aware of He Xue and Wu Liang’s matters.

“Eh? What else should I know? Surely I couldn’t possibly know about the past affairs between President Su Xi and Miss Ning Shuang, could I?”

Han Yu spread her arms as if to dance, twirling on the spot, her skirt drawing a half-circle in the air.

“Mmm, I know nothing at all~”

Han Yu nodded earnestly.

From noble mtl dot nete

She claimed ignorance about the matters between Ning Shuang and Su Xi, complete ignorance indeed.

“…”

Ning Shuang clenched her fists, trembling slightly, her knuckles turning white from the strain.

She thought she would never have to recall that dark chapter of her past, but Han Yu’s words forced her to remember once again.

Panic, unease, fear—various negative emotions swirled within her, refusing to dissipate.

The incident from years ago had always been a demon in her heart, one she never wished to confront again. Yet now, it had been exposed anew…

“Are you alright, Miss Ning Shuang? You don’t look so well.”

Han Yu looked at Ning Shuang with a smile. Although Ning Shuang’s expression was obscured by a mask, her complexion must have been very pale.

The strength seemed to drain from her in an instant; after all, that matter was no small thing for her…

“Eh? Where did that kid Wu Liang go??”

Liu Yan, who had just walked into the infirmary, looked around in confusion at the two women.

How come Wu Liang was nowhere to be seen? Didn’t she instruct that kid to keep watch here?

“Ah, Teacher Liu, Wu Liang just stepped out, He Xue has already fallen asleep, so I’m watching over for him.”

Upon seeing Liu Yan return, Han Yu decided not to continue her entanglement with Ning Shuang.

After all, she had achieved her goal; it was time for Ning Shuang to ponder on her own.

“Oh? Are you his classmate? Thanks for your hard work.”

“And you, are you feeling unwell?”

Liu Yan took off her coat and hung it on the rack.

Looking at Ning Shuang standing still, Liu Yan approached her and asked softly.

“It’s nothing… I… I’ll be leaving now…”

Ning Shuang bowed her head, her bangs covering her expression as she spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s hum.

She absolutely couldn’t… allow that incident to be dredged up again…

Ps: I’ve also found the concept art for Ning Shuang, though I suggest everyone overlook the issue of her being less endowed.
