NOVEL WEB chapter 22
Twenty-Two “Nan Zhu” Seems a Bit “Purple”
Wu Liang scrutinized Nan Zhu with narrowed eyes, who was not as simple as in the game, but rather very cautious and vigilant.
If the Nan Zhu in the game’s setting was a clueless, cute puppy, then the current one was more like a cunning old fox.
Wu Liang stroked his chin, pondering silently; he indeed had entered the ACG romance game “Who is Your Number One Goddess ~ Love Rhythm.”
But the characters’ personalities seemed to have changed somewhat from the original, each varying to a certain degree.
“Thinking about it, this isn’t too bad after all.”
Wu Liang suddenly flashed a grin. If he were to follow the game’s plot he already knew, could that even be called a challenge? It was nothing more than playing house.
Although he didn’t know what the male lead was really up to, this kind of unknown change was clearly more interesting.
“The library nameplate, you’ve actually been carrying it all along, and you shooed away the rat just to tell me this?”
Wu Liang cracked his neck, feeling a bit nervous when facing Nan Zhu.
In a sense, the man before him was the Grim Reaper he would meet a year later.
To avoid his inevitable demise, Wu Liang needed to close the distance with Nan Zhu.
“I just wanted to see what kind of person the notorious bad boy from the rumors really is.”
“But from what I see now, that bad boy seems to be just an ordinary person who is ostracized and somewhat aloof.”
Nan Zhu spread his hands and shrugged nonchalantly.
Wu Liang wasn’t as inaccessible as the rumors suggested, nor as irritable.
The rumors and Wu Liang’s actual demeanor were completely opposite; one could even say the rumors existed solely to smear him.
This piqued his interest in Wu Liang. What kind of person could spawn such bizarre rumors?
“Why are you so interested in me? Our only encounter was a brief one in an alley.”
Wu Liang couldn’t quite grasp what Nan Zhu was thinking.
And he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something odd about Nan Zhu.
Indeed, Nan Zhu had almost the same face as the game’s male protagonist, but upon closer observation…
“What if I said I wanted to fence with you?”
Nan Zhu pondered with his head down for a while, then suddenly looked up with a brilliant smile.
“I’d kick you straight home.”
Wu Liang’s eye twitched. Something was off, way off.
This Nan Zhu, who spoke in “quotable quotes,” was far too different from the shy protagonist in the game.
They may share almost identical faces, but in terms of their inner selves, they were two completely different people.
“That’s quite cruel.”
Nan Zhu looked at Wu Liang with disdain. Can’t take a joke at all, can he?
Did he really think I wanted to fence with him? I was just trying to liven up the mood.
“That’s called self-defense.”
Wu Liang himself didn’t understand why he was bickering with Nan Zhu here.
Whenever they talked, he couldn’t help but be led by the nose.
This passive feeling annoyed Wu Liang, especially since the other party was also a man.
“Alright, it’s about time to head back, or your number one lackey is going to blow a fuse.”
Nan Zhu made a explosive gesture, but to Old Mouse, it was hardly a big deal.
After all, from his perspective, Old Mouse was just the kind of best friend that would appear beside the main character in a novel.
However, this time, Wu Liang was indeed a bit pitiful.
There was only one person who could be considered his best friend, and that was Old Mouse. If possible, he still wanted to sympathize with the other person.
“You this…”
“Wu Liang!~!~!”
The sweet voice rang out behind Wu Liang, before he could even turn around.
Two soft objects had already stuck to his back, and soon Wu Liang felt his body sag.
A strong scent of perfume filled his nostrils in an instant.
“It seems you’re here, no wonder people couldn’t find you at your school.”
The girl hanging on Wu Liang’s back was like an octopus, refusing to let go, and lightly biting his earlobe, exhaling sweetly.
She twirled and swayed, her breasts squishing and taking on a distorted shape.
“? ? ?”
Wu Liang’s eyes widened in confusion, staring at the girl who had suddenly jumped onto his back.
What’s going on? Who is this person? Does he know someone who has a chest that’s like a water bomb?
If it wasn’t for the fact that this was a girl, he would have kicked her off his back right away.
“Your pompadour isn’t styled today, huh? Although you look pretty cool even with your pompadour down.”
“I recognized you the moment I saw you, hurry up and praise me, little cutie.”
The heavily made-up girl clung tightly to Wu Liang’s neck, giving him a whole lot of attention.
Oh my god! Today’s Wu Liang is simply explosive!
Although his pompadour was pretty cool in the past.
But now, with his manly scent, he’s even more attractive.
“Shuang’er, get off me.”
Wu Liang remembered, and the rainbow-haired girl with earrings and lipstick was none other than his “girlfriend”.
Just a week ago, he had met this so-called bad girl on the rooftop while smoking.
They talked for a long time and became close friends, especially since the girl had a unique sense of style when it came to pompadours.
Although they didn’t confirm their relationship, their behavior was very intimate, so the other students regarded them as a bad couple.
And the rumors about them were even crazier, allegedly involving research on ancient techniques like “pushing the cart” and “stacking the Buddha” on the grass, in the storage room, and on the school desks.
“Hey, what’s wrong? You seem so cold today.”
The girl known as Shuang’er was puzzled, but still jumped down from Wu Liang’s back.
“Ah, Wu Liang, can you introduce me to this girl?”
Suddenly, the previous Nan Zhu walked up to Wu Liang’s side and pulled him to the side, looking at the girl who appeared here with a smile.
“What are you doing?”
Goosebumps rose on his skin in an instant, and Wu Liang’s face darkened as he stared at Nan Zhu beside him.
What is this Nan Zhu doing, getting so close to him? Could it be that this guy is actually a Gay?
“I’m just trying to get to know your other friends,”
