The Transmigrated Villain, and the Reborn Heroines - Chapter 77:
Chapter 77:
At this moment, Zhang Mu snapped back to reality, utterly confused.
What was going on?
This wasn’t how the plot was supposed to play out!
Wasn’t the pure campus belle, Liu Shixuan, supposed to like this necklace too? Wasn’t she supposed to be adamant about not giving it up?
Why did she suddenly decide to give it to him?
And on top of that, after he insulted her and nearly forced a kiss on her, she still said it was voluntary?
Did a donkey kick her in the head? Or was she just acting crazy?
And the main character, Ye Feng, even helped her out. Why was she cursing him now?
Looking at Liu Shixuan, who wasn’t following the plotline at all, Zhang Mu was utterly speechless.
Compared to Zhang Mu, Ye Feng, who was the one being cursed, felt even more frustrated.
He couldn’t believe that the woman he had long set his eyes on was now insulting him.
Who could bear that?
Ye Feng originally planned to talk about it later, but now, he couldn’t hold back any longer.
He came clean, saying, “Miss Liu, I wasn’t meddling in your affairs. My name is Ye Feng, and I’m the pen friend who has exchanged letters with you many times. You must be Miss Liu Shixuan, right? You’ve been my closest partner for years!”
{T/N: Pen friend: a person with whom one becomes friendly by exchanging letters, especially someone in a foreign country whom one has never met.}
Ye Feng was telling the truth. He had indeed developed feelings for this pen friend through their letters.
But when Liu Shixuan heard this, Zhang Mu, standing nearby, also got excited.
Here it comes! The classic pen friend reunion!
Even though Zhang Mu thought the novel’s plot was quite cliché, the literary and pure campus belle Liu Shixuan was particularly fond of these kinds of serendipitous encounters.
According to the original novel, she was supposed to be moved by Ye Feng and see this as a miraculous connection.
But at this moment, standing beside Zhang Mu, Liu Shixuan’s thoughts were the complete opposite.
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Liu Shixuan felt nothing but disgust.
Due to a coincidence back then, she had indeed exchanged a few letters with Ye Feng, but they were hardly close.
What did he mean by “spiritual connection”? That sounded revolting!
Who would want to have a spiritual connection with him?!
Moreover, in her previous life, after formally getting to know Ye Feng, she had always been wary of him. She never felt comfortable with his claim that they were good friends. In fact, she had kept her distance from him and avoided any physical contact.
On the other hand, Zhang Mu always acted like a rich, spoiled brat, spewing crude language and engaging in despicable behavior. But there was one time when she saw Zhang Mu deep in thought, looking like a philosopher, reminiscent of a statue of Venus de Milo.
Once, she even picked up a crumpled piece of paper from the trash that Zhang Mu had scribbled on and discarded. The poem written on it stunned her with its brilliance. At that time, she thought Zhang Mu must have plagiarized it, thinking there was no way he could have written such a masterpiece himself.
But later, after Zhang Mu died, one masterpiece after another, like final tributes, were published posthumously. The truth became clear.
It turned out that Zhang Mu was the real genius, a peerless talent, the pinnacle of the literary world.
On the other hand, Ye Feng was nothing more than a fraud who thrived on deception. Whenever he met her or her sister, his gaze was impure, as though they were destined to be his women.
Every time Liu Shixuan saw Ye Feng try to approach her and then secretly turn his attention to her sister, Liu Shihan, it made her nauseous.
Furthermore, Ye Feng had his eyes set on the Liu family, seemingly wanting to use them to help his ambitions in Dragon Country.
All of these factors made the reborn Liu Shixuan utterly despise Ye Feng.
But what she loathed and hated the most was that Ye Feng was responsible for the death of the man from her dreams!
She admitted that she had made mistakes in her previous life, terrible mistakes.
But in this life, she wanted nothing to do with Ye Feng, and she didn’t want Zhang Mu to misunderstand, thinking she had any connection with Ye Feng!
So, when Ye Feng claimed to be her pen friend, Liu Shixuan flatly denied it, saying, “I don’t have a pen friend, nor have I ever written any letters. Mr. Ye, you must have mistaken me for someone else.”
Zhang Mu looked at Liu Shixuan, who had her eyebrows furrowed in anger, completely denying any connection with Ye Feng and looking utterly disgusted. He was just as dumbfounded.
As for Ye Feng, he was even more confused. His mind was in a complete mess.
Ye Feng distinctly remembered that he had thoroughly investigated this! He was confident he knew everything about this woman he had set his eyes on.
How could he possibly be mistaken?
“Miss Liu Shixuan, we really did exchange letters! I have the evidence right here! I still carry your handwritten letters with me. If you don’t believe me…”
Ye Feng hastily pulled out a letter from his coat and handed it to Liu Shixuan, his expression desperate.
But Liu Shixuan had no intention of opening the envelope. Without hesitation, she tore the letter, along with the paper inside, into pieces. She then threw the shredded paper into the trash, cutting him off coldly, “Enough, Ye Feng. Stop trying to chat me up with such a lame excuse. I’ve seen plenty of guys using these kinds of tricks.”
“I haven’t written a letter in ages. Who writes letters anymore? Nowadays, we use email or WeChat. Who still sends handwritten letters?”
Hearing this, Ye Feng’s pupils shrank. He stood there dumbfounded, staring at Liu Shixuan.
Zhang Mu was equally shocked.
What the heck?!
Wasn’t letter writing your whole literary aesthetic, Liu Shixuan?!
In her previous life, didn’t she mock him for never having written a single letter in his life?
And now she says she’s stopped writing letters altogether? What was going on?!
And why did she seem so disgusted with Ye Feng? This wasn’t right!
There was definitely something fishy here!
The difference in Liu Shixuan’s attitude from before and now was too stark, completely out of line with her character as the pure, literary campus belle.
Now, in Zhang Mu’s eyes, he suspected that this innocent-looking girl with her big eyes and delicate features had also “betrayed” him.
Something about her wasn’t right!
Absolutely suspicious!
At this moment, Liu Shixuan, still facing the bewildered Ye Feng, emphasized again, “Seriously, I don’t know you, Ye Feng or Lin Feng, or whatever your name is. Zhang Mu, on the other hand, the young master of the Zhang family, I know. We’ve met a few times before, but as for you, I have no connection with you at all!”
Liu Shixuan repeatedly emphasized that she didn’t know Ye Feng, clearly afraid that Zhang Mu might misunderstand and think she had something to do with him.
In this life, she didn’t want to let Zhang Mu misunderstand her again.
After all, Zhang Mu was a rare genius, though he played the role of a spoiled rich kid on the surface.
And Ye Feng had a significant background. She didn’t want Zhang Mu to get into any more conflicts with him, afraid that her beloved would be harmed by Ye Feng.
At the same time, she also didn’t want Zhang Mu to misinterpret her relationship with Ye Feng.
So, Liu Shixuan firmly denied any connection, insisting that she didn’t know Ye Feng at all.
Everyone listening to Liu Shixuan’s words was just as confused and perplexed.
They could understand if Liu Shixuan didn’t know Ye Feng.
Even her male classmates understood her. After all, plenty of guys had used similar excuses to approach Liu Shixuan, the school’s campus belle. She probably received a whole basketful of love letters every day.
They didn’t have a good impression of Ye Feng either, especially since he kept pestering their goddess.
But why was Liu Shixuan so insistent about knowing Zhang Mu, the notorious young master of the Zhang family? And why didn’t she seem annoyed by him?
Could it be that Liu Shixuan didn’t feel any resentment toward Zhang Mu, who had just been forcing her earlier?
At this moment, Ye Feng was about to explode with rage.
As the Dragon King, he typically wouldn’t care much about a single woman.
But his intense interest in Liu Shixuan stemmed from three things: first, she was indeed pure and sweet-looking, a type he hadn’t experienced before; second, she had a policewoman sister, and the idea of a “sisters duo” added extra appeal; third, he wanted to use Liu Shixuan as a connection to the Liu family, one of the top ten families, to support his ambitions in Dragon Country.
That was why he was so eager to clarify his relationship with her.
But Liu Shixuan kept denying everything, even accusing him of trying to hit on her.
As the Dragon King, Ye Feng was furious!
When had he ever been treated like a desperate admirer?
Now, everyone around him thought he was just a pathetic sycophant!
