The Villain Doesn’t Want To Date the Cute Heroine - Chapter 87
Eighty-Seven, please hand it over to me.
Su Xi was hiding by the entrance of the outer hall, leaning against the wall and lightly kicking her feet.
Listening to the conversation between Wu Liang and Ning Shuang in the inner hall, her anxious expression relaxed a lot.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, took a deep breath, and looked carefully at the two people in the inner hall.
“Ning Shuang and Wu Liang’s relationship is even better than I thought.”
She observed the inner hall, noticing that Wu Liang’s back was wet from sweat, and Su Xi showed a relieved smile.
She had thought that Wu Liang and Ning Shuang were just ordinary friends, and their interaction was not deep.
But looking at them now, their emotions were even more obvious than she had imagined.
Wu Liang highly values Ning Shuang, not merely as a subordinate by his side, but truly treats her with sincerity.
She knows why Ning Shuang is with Wu Liang and what truly lies within Ning Shuang’s heart.
The reason Ning Shuang stays with Wu Liang is to become carefree like him, unbound by the past.
Wu Liang is a very spontaneous person, not the kind to be halted by a setback.
Ning Shuang, at all costs, transformed from a good girl to a bad girl, hoping to become as unrestrained as Wu Liang.
Unshackled by the past, unbroken by any ordeal, unaffected by any rumors or slander.
Ning Shuang believes that by becoming like Wu Liang, she can step out from the shadows of her past.
That’s why she strives so hard to change, hoping to become stronger.
“But Ning Shuang, your approach is wrong; it’s not strength, but avoidance.”
Su Xi, looking at the two in the parlor, clenches her fists in silence, her expression grave.
Although Ning Shuang’s intentions are good, her methods are misguided.
People cannot be generalized; everyone has their own way of living.
Imitating Wu Liang won’t make you him; it will only leave you more lost.
To abandon your own lifestyle in favor of imitating others, how is that different from the proverbial ‘learning to walk in Handan’?
“I can’t let Ning Shuang go on like this… If this continues, it will ruin her…”
Su Xi slaps her cheeks, psyching herself up.
In truth, isn’t she also avoiding Ning Shuang, afraid to confront her?
Because of that past incident, she became the one who hurt Ning Shuang the most.
She owes Ning Shuang, both in the past and now, far too much.
But now she must stand up, to prevent Ning Shuang from further collapse, she must change Ning Shuang’s mindset.
Wu Liang and Ning Shuang have a good relationship, but Wu Liang is still oblivious to Ning Shuang’s true desires.
If no one awakens Ning Shuang now, she will only continue to degenerate, eventually becoming an empty shell of a puppet.
“The only one who can awaken Ning Shuang now is me, Wu Liang can’t do it yet… But what exactly am I afraid of…”
Su Xi wants to approach Ning Shuang for a heartfelt talk, but finds herself unable to move her feet.
It’s as if her ankles are chained in place, her legs trembling uncontrollably, powerless.
“There’s no choice, if I can’t walk… then I’ll just…”
“Your approach is a failure, haven’t you realized it yet?”
Just as Su Xi is about to forcefully open the door, Wu Liang’s deep and magnetic voice suddenly reaches her ears from the parlor.
Hearing this, Su Xi freezes, her outstretched hands suddenly stiff in mid-air.
“You’re not a qualified bad girl, nor are you suited to be one.”
“Blind imitation will only lead you further astray. If you continue like this, not only will you fail to become what you desire, but you’ll even lose your true self in the end.”
Wu Liang’s words struck Su Xi like a series of heavy hammers, pounding relentlessly at her heart.
Wait… hold on… These were the very words she wanted to say to Ning Shuang… Why did Wu Liang…
————————————-
“What should I do then? I’ve been trapped in the past and can’t move forward.”
“If I don’t change, I will break down. Is it wrong to want to be a bit stronger?”
Ning Shuang, who had been silent all along, suddenly burst out, shouting at Wu Liang.
Her voice, laced with sobs and trembling, echoed unusually loud in the empty observatory.
Ning Shuang walked up to Wu Liang and gripped his collar tightly.
Why couldn’t even Wu Liang understand her? She had admired him so much.
She had seen Wu Liang as the perfect role model and followed him, striving hard to become like him!
“Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding. Those bound by the past inevitably have no future. Not now, nor ever.”
Wu Liang didn’t know what kind of past Ning Shuang had, but her current approach of imitating him to become stronger was definitely wrong.
From noble mtl dot come
He hadn’t expected Ning Shuang to become a bad girl and stay by his side just to imitate him.
Wanting to be strong by imitating him and becoming a delinquent? What kind of logic was that? Ning Shuang was just looking for an excuse to escape reality.
“So what do you say I should do…”
Looking into Wu Liang’s eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, Ning Shuang’s hands gripping his collar loosened slightly.
She knew, of course, she knew. How could imitating others ever be right? She had always known, but she couldn’t think of any solution.
Every time she closed her eyes, she could recall that dim, lightless classroom, that blood-red scene.
She could only deceive herself in this way, seeking solace in this false imitation.
“If you ever trusted me…”
Wu Liang slowly bent down to pick up the mask Ning Shuang had dropped earlier and presented it back to her.
“Then entrust your heart to me.”
The words popped into his head unbidden, and Wu Liang spoke them out loud.
After saying it, Wu Liang was also stunned. Wait a minute, why had he involuntarily said such a thing?
This feeling… It was as if something had been triggered… and it was a very discordant feeling he had experienced before in the infirmary…
“Eh?”
Ning Shuang was momentarily stunned by Wu Liang’s words, her pale face instantly flushed with a hint of red.
What on earth was Wu Liang talking about… Why would he suddenly say such embarrassing words in such a serious situation…
“Eh eh eh eh eh eh?????”
Suzie, who was hiding behind the door, stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Wu Liang is really either tight-lipped or shockingly outspoken…
