Chapter 8: The Girl Who Secretly Loves the School Heartthrob
“No need, I have my own way to solve it,” Chu Bai said.
“Re… really?” Xu Muyan was a bit skeptical.
“Really, I have quite a bit of private money saved up from New Year and birthday gifts. I can handle it.”
Chu Bai lied again, but this time his eyes didn’t waver, showing a lot of confidence.
Hearing this, Wang Haoran suddenly felt a spark of interest, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
This guy is planning to use his clairvoyance to make money…
At this moment, Wang Haoran also appeared in the line of sight of Chu Bai and Xu Muyan.
“Oh, Xu Muyan, what are you guys talking about?” Wang Haoran pretended to have run into them by chance.
“Chu Bai needs to pay for medical expenses, so I asked if he needed help. After all, this incident partly happened because of me,” Xu Muyan, having a good impression of Wang Haoran, didn’t hide anything.
“Is that so? I can help too,” Wang Haoran offered.
“No need, don’t pretend to be kind,” Chu Bai retorted coldly.
“Why say that? Wang Haoran means well,” Xu Muyan frowned slightly, speaking to Chu Bai.
“It seems you have a deep misunderstanding of me,” Wang Haoran sighed, then slowly asked:
“Do you think Fan Jian and the others blocked your way because I was jealous of how close you are to Xu Muyan, so I asked them to teach you a lesson?”
“Isn’t that the case?” Chu Bai countered.
“Heh,” Wang Haoran couldn’t help but laugh:
“Let me ask you, in what way are you better than me? Looks? Academics? Family background?
If we both pursued Xu Muyan, do you really think you could win over me? Where do you get the confidence to think I would be jealous of you?”
“You…” Chu Bai was at a loss for words, as what the other party said was indeed true.
“Seeing your reaction, you must think what I said is correct. So, why would I have someone beat you up?” Wang Haoran asked.
Chu Bai’s face turned red, unable to find words to refute.
[Ding, the host successfully undermined the protagonist Chu Bai’s confidence, Chu Bai’s protagonist halo points -10, host’s villain halo points +10.]
Is this even possible?
The sudden system notification surprised Wang Haoran pleasantly.
Originally, he just wanted to mock Chu Bai a bit, but he didn’t expect to gain an unexpected reward.
Chu Bai’s face looked unpleasant.
Wang Haoran, for the moment, couldn’t be bothered with him and turned his attention to Xu Muyan.
Xu Muyan’s expression turned slightly uneasy because of his words.
“Xu Muyan, I was just making a hypothetical statement earlier, don’t overthink it. I’ve told you before.
There are less than a hundred days until the college entrance exam, and I just want to focus on studying. I don’t have the mind to consider romance right now.
Moreover, our school has more than one school beauty. Even if I were to consider romance, I wouldn’t choose someone from the same class. After all, a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its burrow. More importantly, I really don’t have that kind of feeling for you!”
Wang Haoran didn’t want Xu Muyan to distance herself from him, so he told a lie to keep her close.
With the villain halo, lying was almost a natural talent for him. Deceiving an 18-year-old girl was a simple task.
Xu Muyan listened and didn’t doubt much.
However, she looked at Wang Haoran without speaking, pouting slightly, lost in her thoughts.
[Ding, the host made one of the female leads, Xu Muyan, feel jealous, gaining 200 villain points, Chu Bai’s protagonist halo -10, host’s villain halo +10.]
The sudden notification surprised Wang Haoran again.
He didn’t expect his words to have such an effect.
Xu Muyan actually got jealous?
But thinking about it, it made sense.
She’s so beautiful, yet the class heartthrob said in front of her that girls from other classes are more attractive.
Of course, Xu Muyan got jealous.
However, her jealousy wasn’t because she liked Wang Haoran.
It was purely a natural reaction of a girl.
Girls, by nature, love to compare themselves to each other.
This trip was quite rewarding.
Wang Haoran quickly checked his attribute panel.
[Host: Wang Haoran]
[Combat Power: 89]
[Charm: 268]
[Villain Halo: 149]
[Villain Points: 300]
[Skills: None]
He remembered his initial villain halo points were 99, and in such a short time, it increased by 50. The speed was quite good.
Wang Haoran was in a great mood.
…
During lunch break.
In the classroom.
Some tired students leaned on their desks for a nap.
Some gathered in small groups, whispering.
Of course, there were also diligent students, studying hard.
But some were just pretending.
Like Chu Bai.
He held a book, but his mind was elsewhere, his gaze frequently drifting towards Xu Muyan.
At this moment, Xu Muyan was focused on solving problems.
Chu Bai didn’t want to disturb her, so he waited for a while until Xu Muyan put down her pen, seemingly entering a leisure time.
Chu Bai was delighted, quickly getting up, intending to pretend to ask a question to get closer to her.
But just as he lifted his butt off the chair, he sat back down angrily.
“That damn Wang Haoran!” Chu Bai cursed angrily in his heart.
On the other side.
“Um, can we switch seats?” Wang Haoran approached Xu Muyan’s female deskmate, routinely asking.
The reason he used “um” was not out of rudeness, but because he couldn’t remember the full name of Xu Muyan’s deskmate, only knowing it started with Wen.
In the original plot, the character “Wang Haoran” was set to ignore all other girls except Xu Muyan.
Not knowing Xu Muyan’s deskmate’s name was quite normal.
Therefore, after Wang Haoran transmigrated and absorbed the memories, he naturally didn’t know Xu Muyan’s deskmate’s name.
But honestly, Xu Muyan’s deskmate was quite pretty, also a beauty.
If rated out of 100, Xu Muyan would score 95, and her deskmate could score 90.
Hearing Wang Haoran’s voice, the girl studying at her desk slightly raised her head, seeing a handsome male face.
The boy’s gaze made her heart race.
Afraid of being noticed, she quickly lowered her head again.
“I… I’m Wen Jing.” Her voice carried a hint of disappointment.
As she spoke, Wen Jing immediately picked up her necessary textbooks, making room for Wang Haoran.
“Oh, Wen Jing, is it? I’ll remember that,” Wang Haoran replied politely.
Then, he didn’t even glance at Wen Jing again.
Although Wen Jing was very pretty, a top-tier beauty, since she wasn’t a female lead, he wasn’t interested in interacting with her.
He couldn’t earn villain points from her.
However, what Wang Haoran didn’t know was that this simple sentence made Wen Jing feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Then, she happily ran to Wang Haoran’s seat.
As usual, she tidied up the messy books on his desk.
Admiring the neat handwriting in his exercise book.
Leaning on the desk, she carefully inhaled the faint lingering scent that belonged to him.
Wen Jing was somewhat intoxicated.
