After the footsteps of classmates rushing out of the classroom gradually faded away, the only sounds left in the empty room were the faint breathing of two girls staring at each other.
And the slightly flustered heartbeat thumping in Su Wanli’s chest.
…It’s over. It’s all over.
The “Crisis Creation Plan” she had meticulously crafted throughout the entire class, which she thought was foolproof, had turned into a complete farce after Xiao Fen and the others’ abrupt interference.
No, it couldn’t even be called a farce anymore—this was clearly a tragedy. A tragedy titled “Standing Alone, Betrayed by All.”
Meng Wange was already vaguely ignoring her. After Xiao Fen, Da Zhuang, and Potato Thunder pulled this stunt, she would definitely look down on her even more…
Damn it. She had finally mustered the determination to seriously stir up a sense of crisis in Meng Wange’s heart, only for things to end up like this again…
Su Wanli silently sighed, forcing herself to calm down, and looked directly into Meng Wange’s eyes.
Meng Wange must be laughing at her in her heart, right?
Laughing at her childishness, her overestimation of her own abilities, her pitiful little schemes that could be seen through at a glance.
—”Boss Su loves Boss Meng’s paintings the most.”
—”You’ve praised her to us in private many times before.”
—”Now that you understand Boss Su’s feelings, please be more accommodating from now on.”
Heh, thinking about it carefully, what Xiao Fen and the others did might not necessarily be a betrayal. It was just that her own consistent behavior had led them to misunderstand the goal she wanted to achieve.
That’s right. Even though from the very beginning, the System had been issuing strange and annoying tasks, and she had always followed its instructions, trying her best to play the role of a haughty villainess, in reality, she never wanted Meng Wange to think she was a bad person.
No matter when, Su Wanli had always left ample room for her actions and left an invisible opening for Meng Wange, fantasizing that perhaps that bold and meticulous “Aura of Main Heroine” could really see the real her through that opening and recognize her hidden sincerity.
Looking at it now, it seemed she had left too much room.
Even Xiao Fen and the others could easily see her true feelings and were pushing things along behind her back.
The rumors they spread throughout the school on the first day of school about her and Meng Wange were probably for the same purpose, right?
—To bring her and Meng Wange closer together.
Really, was I really that obvious? I genuinely did quite a few bad things to Meng Wange, didn’t I?
Or perhaps, in the eyes of Xiao Fen and the others, even in Meng Wange’s eyes, these “bad deeds” seemed insignificant, nothing more than boring pranks used to cover up her true feelings?
Looking into Meng Wange’s eyes, which were as calm and unruffled as ever, Su Wanli gave a slight, bitter twist of her lips.
Even Xiao Fen and the others could see it. As one of the characters with the highest emotional intelligence in the entire work—the keen “Aura of Main Heroine” Meng Wange—how could she possibly not see it?
Through these past few days of living together, after repeatedly verifying her “harmlessness,” Meng Wange had clearly let down her guard and turned her attention to more noteworthy things—like that travel guide with an unclear purpose, and how to please the teachers at Baiying Academy.
And had carelessly tossed aside her, the theoretically most difficult “Final Boss,” to the back of her mind.
That won’t do, Meng Wange.
Not just because of the System tasks…
But also because of my own psychological needs.
At the very least, during this time when you haven’t grown to that point yet and are still bound to stay by my side, focus all your energy, all your attention, on me—Su Wanli.
As the sole heir of the Su family, the villainous eldest young lady spoken of by the world, I have made up my mind. I will no longer go easy on you, nor will I leave you any room to catch your breath.
As your greatest adversary in the past, present, and future—
Meng Wange, from now on, firmly tuck away that innate arrogance in your heart. Then, with all your might, despise me, oppose me, remember my every move, and constantly analyze and guard against me!
This is my mission—the only Host chosen by the “Villainess Young Lady Roleplay System”—that I must fulfill from now on!
…Though, if I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to appear before you in this form.
But if defying the System and going easy on you would only lead to your neglect and forgetfulness—
Then let me continue playing this role.
…Until I become a true villainess who doesn’t reveal any flaws.
Su Wanli took a deep breath and spread open her palm towards Meng Wange.
“Ha… Even after all this, you still won’t cooperate and leave the Su family?”
“Really, those three, Xiao Fen, Da Zhuang, and Potato Thunder, even said…”
“…Drive away… from the Su family…”
Meng Wange softly repeated the phrase, her voice still gentle and indifferent, as if merely discussing some trivial matter completely unrelated to herself.
…This girl really doesn’t value the life we’ve shared these past few days at all.
Su Wanli frowned in annoyance but forced herself to hold back, shaking her head coldly.
“That’s right. That’s what I originally intended to do. Don’t think for a second that the nonsense they spouted is true. I’ve never praised you in front of them, not even half a sentence. Rather…”
“Mm, I know, Miss Su.”
Meng Wange smiled and interrupted Su Wanli’s upcoming harsh words. She then stood up from her seat and walked step by step behind Su Wanli, causing Su Wanli to unconsciously tense all her muscles.
“Even though Zhang Shiyu and the others occasionally say strange things, I think they must have misunderstood something, right?”
Meng Wange’s voice echoed softly by Su Wanli’s ear, her warm breath gently brushing against Su Wanli’s hair.
…No particular opinion.
Even though this had always been her own line, at this moment, Su Wanli’s mood grew increasingly heavy.
Even though she hadn’t had time to defend herself yet, Meng Wange was already starting to play along.
“Mm, of course I know.”
Meng Wange, standing behind her, gave a low chuckle and gently lifted a strand of Su Wanli’s hair with her fingers.
“As your personal maid, I realized this a long time ago. Miss Su, you are equally gentle, kind, compassionate, and tolerant towards everyone.”
Annoyed by what she was hearing, Su Wanli suddenly turned around, intending to swat Meng Wange’s hand away.
“Spare me the false flattery. The problem now is that you, towards me, are simply—”
At that moment, a slender, jade-like finger gently pressed against her lips.
“…So, before you truly make your decision, could you first listen to… what I want to say?”
