Chapter 9 - Zhu Li (1/2)

Because of Xie Na, several people ended up making an unplanned trip to the clinic. Jiang Li was one of them, and he did because he was not heartless yet to not even drop a person who shielded him from danger in front of a doctor.

Coincidence or not, it was the girl who, in his memories, was always the one falling to Xie Na's petty tricks when she was still in college. Her name was Zhu Li, and she was the girl who later on became his admirer. Or maybe she already was, though if this was the case, it meant the one she liked was the Original and not the current him.

'I actually have something called plot armor...' He thought as he watched the doctor treat the swollen part on the pretty rich girl's forehead. He remembered how this person always took even the least dangerous pranks for the 'him' of the past.

'Unfortunately, this cheat slash golden finger of mine is the one that caused my saving target to become close to that sc.u.m male lead.'

He referred to how when the rich woman got fed up by the villainess' antics, to regain her peace, she just forced the other out of the university.

For a moment a frown appeared on his face. His expression became darker when he threw a look at the three people talking at the side.

One of them was naturally that very crazy villainess. The guidance counselor, Professor Gu of the Finance Department was the other. And the last one was that violet-wigged girl who was also Xie Na's best friend.

If his memories didn't fail him, he recalled that she was called Cao Hua.

As he looked at the girl scolding the all-black-wearing woman for what she did, he thought, 'What a beautiful name wasted on a girl who most probably corrupted the villainess with her stupid aesthetics.'

”I, I'm sorry for what Xie Na did. Please forgive her. She was only worried and indignant for me. This is only a misunderstanding,” said the girl as she bowed lightly to him. It was after the guidance counselor chastised Xie Na for the harm she did, sentencing her for a week of community service.

He remained leaning on the door, not commenting about the apology Cao Hua made. He did give Xie Na a dirty look though, irritated that instead of her doing the apology, it was her friend who did it.
