Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 25

In the late afternoon, just before school was about to end, Sheng Nuan received a message from Gu Lanfeng, asking her to meet him at the school gate because he needed her help with something.

In the past, Sheng Nuan would have ignored him, but considering her current situation, she took a deep breath and decided to meet him.

On the other hand, Gu Lanfeng had already prepared himself for the possibility of being ignored, as Sheng Nuan had not responded to his recent messages.

This was the first time Gu Lanfeng had been treated so coldly by a girl, which was both frustrating and somewhat novel for him.

But he didn’t expect that Sheng Nuan would actually reply this time.

His heart skipped a beat, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

After school, Gu Lanfeng arrived at the school gate early. As time passed and the place became nearly empty, he finally saw Sheng Nuan walking out at a leisurely pace.

When she approached him, Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s up?”

Gu Lanfeng smiled and said he was going to attend the school’s coming-of-age dance and wanted to invite her to be his dance partner.

Sheng Nuan frowned. “I’m not of age yet. I’m not going.”

Gu Lanfeng chuckled. “Yes, you’re almost a year younger than me… You should call me brother.”

Sheng Nuan remained silent for a moment before she couldn’t help but remark, “You’re so greasy.”

Gu Lanfeng was taken aback and started coughing from her sharp response. With a helpless surrender, he said, “Okay, okay, it’s my fault… I meant to invite you to be my dance partner. Is that okay?”

Sheng Nuan sized up Gu Lanfeng, weighing whether she could endure being around him for her own safety.

But seeing Gu Lanfeng smiling, unable to hide his conceited, proud expression. He was handsome yet somewhat greasy for his young age. She took a deep breath and realized… she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

To have to deal with such a greasy person every day, she’d rather scrape by on her own.

Sighing, Sheng Nuan gave up on hugging his thighs¹ and shook her head. “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

With that, she turned to leave…

But Gu Lanfeng clearly had no intention of giving up easily and actually reached out to grab her.

Sheng Nuan almost couldn’t hold back from turning around and kicking him out of reflex…

Turning around, she looked at him with impatience. “I said I’m not interested.”

Seeing the impatience in her eyes, Gu Lanfeng’s expression mellowed out a bit.

Feeling slighted by Sheng Nuan’s disdain, Gu Lanfeng felt a bit embarrassed. If it had been someone else, he would have already turned and left… However, seeing the arrogant and impatient look in front of him, it made people think that she was naturally born to be such as proud girl. In the end, he was reluctant to walk away.

After a pause, Gu Lanfeng said, “Sheng Nuan, I remember you stopping me on the playground last time and saying you had something to tell me…”

That time, he guessed she was going to confess her feelings and left without giving her the chance.

Now, he deeply regretted it. He shouldn’t have let his bias for Sheng Mian make him hold such a grudge against Sheng Nuan, causing her to dislike him as well…

Sheng Nuan was a little confused. “What are you talking about?”

Just then, the system chimed in: “Host, please note that the task target Ye Nanxun’s blackening value has increased. Current blackening value: 50.”

Sheng Nuan was momentarily stunned and instinctively turned around, only to see a familiar figure from behind.

No longer caring about dealing with Gu Lanfeng, Sheng Nuan said, “I’ve got something to do,” and chased after Ye Nanxun’s back.

As she chased after him, Sheng Nuan felt a bit helpless.

In the past couple of days, while worrying about her own life, she had completely forgotten about this big shot… She hadn’t checked in with him for two whole days.

Behind her, Gu Lanfeng’s expression darkened as he saw Sheng Nuan pursue Ye Nanxun without hesitation.

This was his first time actively pursuing a girl, but she was so indifferent towards him and so attentive to a pauper like Ye Nanxun?

“Ye Nanxun…” Sheng Nuan called out to him.

Ye Nanxuan turned a deaf ear and walked forward expressionlessly.

Sheng Nuan, panting from the run, caught up to him and asked, “I’m calling you. Why didn’t you wait for me?”

Sheng Nuan greeted him while preparing to probe for information, still unaware of what had happened or why Ye Nanxun’s blackening value had suddenly increased.

However, despite her questioning, Ye Nanxun still did not respond.

Well, he didn’t pay much attention to her to begin with…

At this moment, Sheng Nuan thought that since she couldn’t tolerate Gu Lanfeng’s greasy demeanor, and Ye Nanxun was the big villain in the story, he probably had a tougher fate. If she could just manage to stay by his side, perhaps she could survive to the end?

With that in mind, she tentatively asked, “Ye Nanxun, can I stay at your house for a while?”

But as soon as she spoke, she felt it was a bit inconsiderate. Ye Nanxun’s family had a sick mother, and if someone came looking for her and harmed his mother, wouldn’t she have harmed others?

Realizing this, Sheng Nuan sighed and thought maybe she should just forget it… But at that moment, Ye Nanxun suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

“Stay at my house? Are we that familiar?”

Ye Nanxuan’s expression was cold and somewhat sarcastic.

So, is this her purpose? To live in his house? What would living in his house achieve, to see up close how wretched his life is?

At that moment, Sheng Nuan finally sensed something was off.

She cautiously asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Sheng Nuan looked a little confused and somewhat anxious, as if she truly didn’t know anything, and as if she genuinely cared about him…

Ye Nanxun, feeling a surge of contempt, pulled out his phone and opened a few audio files in front of her.

Sheng Nuan was stunned, hearing words spoken by her own voice from inside uttering words of disdain and humiliation.

“… He’s like a stray dog…”

“Is he worthy of being compared to Gu Lanfeng?”

“… Of course, I’m going to tease him and then trample on him. Don’t you think it’s fun?”

Each word was filled with malice.

Sheng Nuan was left speechless.

Ye Nanxun listened to the voice coming through the phone and thought about the scene he had just witnessed. It made him feel even more ridiculous for constantly convincing himself to trust her over the past two days.

From beginning to end, she had been toying with him for the sake of someone else, yet he believed it to be true. He was even deeply moved by the fake concern and smiles.

That stirring in his heart only made Ye Nanxun feel even colder. He looked at Sheng Nuan and mockingly asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything, hmm?”

Sheng Nuan had nothing to say.

Those were the original host’s foolish actions before she came, but she couldn’t avoid taking the blame.

Her silence, in Ye Nanxun’s eyes, is equivalent to having nothing to say…. Ye Nanxun curled his lips into a smirk. “I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you. You won’t be able to toy with me anymore.”

In the next moment, he turned around and walked away without looking back.

Sheng Nuan stood in place for a while, finally sighing before turning and leaving.

She plans to stay at home tonight… Since someone had just visited her house last night and noticed she wasn’t there, it might actually be the safest place for her tonight.

She learned from customer service that she wasn’t being followed for the time being, so she should be able to get through tonight safely.

Avoiding lingering on the streets, she hailed a taxi to go home.

On the other side, Ye Nanxun walked away without looking back. As he walked back, the chill in his heart continuously surged outward.

As he happened to pass by the place where he had spilled wine while working part-time, he couldn’t help but recall the image of the young girl standing in front of him… and then he was filled with self-mockery.

It was merely her game, yet he, in a laughable and foolish manner, took it seriously bit by bit.

Just then, he heard a familiar name.

“Sheng Nuan deserves it… She used to target you and set you up, so it’s only right that no one cares about her now!”

“Don’t say that…” Sheng Mian feigned reluctance.

Ye Nanxun’s heart skipped a beat.

He experienced a moment of stagnation in his heart.

No one cares?

He suddenly remembered that Sheng Nuan had asked him earlier if she could stay at his place… At that time, his mind was preoccupied with the words she had said in the audio file, and he hadn’t paid any attention to what she was actually saying.

So, had something happened to her?

But then he snapped back to his senses: what do her problems have to do with him? Was he really so pathetic that, despite knowing she was just playing him, he still couldn’t help but worry?

Ye Nanxun continued walking with a blank expression, but after a few steps, he abruptly turned around.

After all, she had helped him before. It’s only fair to return the favor.

Returning to the school gate, he found that Sheng Nuan was long gone. Ye Nanxun remained silent for a moment before heading to the roadside to catch a cab.

Once he got in the car, he told the driver the name of Sheng Nuan’s neighborhood. As the driver turned around, he kept glancing at him in the rearview mirror.

Ye Nanxun looked up and saw the round-faced driver chuckling. “Did you have a fight with your partner?”

“Speaking of, I really have a connection with both of you. Last time, she took my car to the hospital with you. Just now, she took my car home, and now I’ve turned around to pick you up again…”

Ye Nanxun was instantly stunned, staring blankly as he asked, “Took me to the hospital?”
