49: The Incident with Kenji Chicken and Wu Liang
He Xue hadn’t expected Wu Liang’s recovery to be so swift, nor his transformation so drastic.
In her memory, Wu Liang was a punk with a pompadour hairstyle who was up to no good.
What disgusted her most was Wu Liang’s occasional harassment.
Though it didn’t affect her much, it made her feel sick.
But when she saw the boy stepping out of the car, she was momentarily stunned.
“Look at that person, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about.”
“That’s the gang leader Wu Liang, don’t you think his change is huge?”
Han Yu peeked out from behind He Xue, half of her head visible.
As if afraid of being overheard, she shrank her neck and whispered into He Xue’s ear.
“Are you sure that’s Wu Liang?”
He Xue opened her mouth, pointing at the youth who had just entered the school gate.
Was Han Yu pulling her leg? Could that handsome young man really be the pompadour-sporting Wu Liang of the past?
“Do you think I’d joke about this? Besides, whether that guy is Wu Liang or not, we’ll know once we get back to the classroom.”
Han Yu pouted, grumbling discontentedly.
Her own best friend doubting her, that was just too heartbreaking!
“But that person…”
He Xue furrowed her brows, her expression complex as she watched the retreating figures of Wu Liang and the others.
That person must be Wu Liang; after all, the girl beside him had indeed called out his name earlier.
But what exactly was going on? Why had the former delinquent suddenly changed his ways?
Was he turning over a new leaf? It was as if he had become a completely different person.
And that handsome face was just too much; it was as if he had gotten a whole new head. Could this really be all about the hairstyle?
“Why don’t we quietly follow and find out?”
Han Yu saw Wu Liang and the others had entered the school and quickly took He Xue’s hand to catch up with them.
Since they were heading to the classroom anyway, they might as well follow and see what changes Wu Liang had undergone.
After all, since yesterday, Wu Liang’s demeanor had completely changed, and she was quite interested in him personally.
Especially when Wu Liang had a conflict with Huang Mao yesterday, he felt different from his usual self.
“Isn’t this bad, though, stalking someone…”
He Xue hesitated, even if they were classmates, stalking someone still seemed wrong.
And what was there to stalk about Wu Liang? If anything, it should be someone charming like Mr. Ken Diji to stalk, right?
“I don’t believe you’re not interested in Wu Liang’s changes?”
“Come on, hurry up, they’re about to enter the school building.”
Han Yu urged He Xue impatiently.
She had wanted to understand Wu Liang better since yesterday, but there hadn’t been a chance.
If she could report Wu Liang’s transformation and publish it in the school journal, it would surely be a hit.
That would make her the top journalist of the Glorious Xing Academy, wouldn’t it?
“But…”
He Xue was still troubled, yet she was indeed curious about Wu Liang’s transformation.
In just a few days, Wu Liang had gone from a villain to a gentleman, which seemed impossible.
Wu Liang must be plotting something, hence deliberately posing as a well-behaved student.
“Alright, let’s go, I knew you wanted to see too.”
Han Yu pulled out a camera from her bag with a mischievous smile and ran towards Wu Liang and the others, arm in arm with He Xue.
……
….
..
“Hey, hey… isn’t this going to cause trouble…”
Han Yu hid behind the wall, watching the group of burly men in the corridor.
They looked like students from the sports department; why would they gather here?
And Wu Liang and his group were clearly surrounded by these men; they couldn’t be here to cause trouble, could they?
“I should call a teacher, just in case something happens.”
He Xue frowned slightly, looking at Wu Liang surrounded by the group of strong men, she spoke with concern.
Although she personally disliked Wu Liang, she couldn’t just watch him being bullied by such a group.
Bullying the few with numbers, what skill is that? If you’re so tough, go one-on-one. (But speaking of physique, Wu Liang probably can’t win one-on-one either.)
Moreover, Wu Liang has just been discharged from the hospital, his body must still be weak. If something really happened, she would feel guilty.
“Wait a minute, those people don’t seem to be here to cause trouble, let’s observe a bit more.”
Han Yu quickly held back He Xue, who was about to call the teacher.
The group didn’t seem to be there to fight Wu Liang, more like they were there to communicate something, after all, neither side seemed intent on starting a fight.
“Don’t worry, if they dare to make a move, I’ll stop them.”
Han Yu puffed out her chest proudly, declaring herself the person in charge of the school publication.
Unless those people wanted to become infamous in the academy, they would have to give her some face.
“Alright, let’s just watch for a while then.”
He Xue looked at Han Yu’s confident demeanor and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Then she turned her gaze to Wu Liang’s face, momentarily dazed.
It was hard to imagine that this handsome man was the same thuggish young master with the slicked-back hair, a veritable heartbreaker…
Thump
While He Xue was lost in her thoughts, a dull thud suddenly came from ahead.
The burly man who had been talking to Wu Liang just moments ago suddenly knelt before him, bursting into tears.
It was as if he had suffered some great injustice, the rough man appearing incredibly vulnerable at that moment.
“Ah, this…”
The finger poised to press the shutter stopped, Han Yu stared, dumbfounded, at the burly man who had suddenly knelt down. Wasn’t this plot twist a bit too sudden?
She had thought this group was here to trouble Wu Liang, but now they seemed more like the victims?
“That guy…”
He Xue frowned upon seeing this, even feeling ashamed for her earlier thought of wanting to help Wu Liang.
How could someone like Wu Liang be the oppressed? After all, that guy was a notorious young master.
“Han Yu, let’s go.”
He Xue pulled Han Yu out from the corner, casting a dark glance at Wu Liang, who had suddenly frozen in place because of her appearance.
Such is the gap between people, if only Wu Liang could be one percent as good as Mr. KFC…
No, that’s not right.
Why compare Wu Liang with Mr. KFC? There’s absolutely no basis for comparison.
She had thought Wu Liang had changed a lot, as Han Yu said, but looking at the scene before her…
