What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You - CH 79

—The classes at the Academy were two sessions in the morning and two in the afternoon. Each session lasting one hour.

Of course, the classes were not all about literature and martial arts; sometimes, there would be only one literature class in the morning or afternoon, and the rest of the class could be devoted to a class of another subject.

He Yunxiao had no intention of listening to other classes. He was only going to attend Fan Ziruo’s class.

Today, Fan’s class was the first one of the day, starting at the hour of the clock and ending at the hour of the sun, that is, from 7am to 9am.

Seven o’clock was a bit early for a visitor, not according to etiquette, and according to the protagonist Chu Fan’s character, it was impossible to pay a visit to his door. He Yunxiao simply did not go to Fan’s residence and wait, but came to the Antler Academy early and sat down in Fan Ziruo’s classroom.

Seven o’clock in the morning was not too early for the people of Qi who woke up at sunrise and rested at sunset.

So when He Yunxiao arrived at the classroom, the seats were mostly filled.

The first row of seats, where he had previously sat, had already been occupied by Huang Buren and Meng Yan, as per the agreement that each person would sit once.

He Yunxiao was very straightforward and did not bother about seat hogging, as he had other plans. To fight for the front row is really small in terms of style.

It was Li Jin, on the contrary, who very thoughtfully took up a seat for He Yunxiao.

“He Yunxiao, this way!”

Seeing He Yunxiao walk into the classroom, Li Jin waved enthusiastically.

As soon as He Yunxiao saw Li Jin, he stormed out and slapped him in the head: “Are you …… you come out!”

The classroom was crowded, and it was not convenient to talk, so the two of them came to a secluded part of the study hall.

He Yunxiao immediately slapped his head and scolded, “Did you fucking pretend to be me in front of Nanzhu?”

Li Jin was pleased with himself and gloated, “Brother He doesn’t need to thank me.”

I thank you? The hell! I want to beat you to death right now!

“What did you do yesterday? Repeat every word of it for me!”

As expected, Li Jin really did tell He Yunxiao word for word, starting from when he and Meng Yan went to the toilet.

After listening, He Yunxiao knew about Li Qingmeng and thought to himself that he had guessed correctly that Li Qingmeng was none other than Meng Qingqian’s trusted subordinate.

Of course, he was most concerned about Nanzhu’s wife.

With this operation, Li Jin had already given He Yunxiao a bit of a makeover that he wouldn’t.

Beating him up now wouldn’t help, so He Yunxiao had no choice but to say, “After class today, at the beginning of the tenth hour, wait for me at the entrance of the academy. Come into the palace with me and explain to Nanzhu clearly.”

At the beginning of the tenth hour, it was just after five o’clock in the afternoon. (Notes: The tenth hour is about 4pm, or about two hours before sunset.)

Li Jin was pleased to see that He Yunxiao was interested in his cousin, so without saying a word, he agreed to do so.

The two of them talked for a long time outside, and when they came back to their senses, the morning class had already started not too long ago.

He Yunxiao secretly cried out in disbelief and hurriedly dragged Li Jin back to the classroom.

In the classroom, Fan Ziruo had already started lecturing, and some of the fellows below, as is customary, were exchanging pleasantries.

Fan Ziruo ignored it. Apparently she was used to it.

As she was talking, she suddenly heard footsteps. When she looked up from the book, it was He Yunxiao and Li Jin who came in a hurry.

[Fan Ziruo’s favorability level changed from 34 to 33]

Fan Ziruo treated the hurried He Yunxiao as if he were nothing, and continued lecturing without changing her expression.

Li Jin sneaked into his seat and pretended that nothing had happened.

He Yunxiao knew Fan Ziruo’s temperament.

A person who was obsessed with martial arts was not obsessed with “martial arts”, but with “chivalry”.

If you are respectful and courteous, upright and daring, then even if you are a beggar, she will like you. But if you are a petty, vindictive, villainous person, she will not like you,, even if you are more handsome than He Yunxiao.

He Yunxiao did not choose to sneak off to his seat like Li Jin did, but stood upright and bowed his head to Fan Ziruo and said, “The student is late, so please punish me, Miss.”

[Fan Ziruo’s favorability level changed from 33 to 35]

Fan Ziruo finally stopped lecturing, closed her book, and said seriously, “Being late is a small matter, but Young Master He is a gentleman for daring to do so. You will not be punished today, but it cannot be repeated next time.”

Only when he heard Fan Ziruo say this did He Yunxiao bow and return to his seat.

Everyone here knew very well what kind of character Fan Ziruo was.

Before He Yunxiao came, she usually just carried on with the lesson, and would rarely say anything else that was not related to the lesson.

But today, not only did she say it, she even praised He Yunxiao.

This made many people’s opinions fall apart.

Meng Yan was one of them.

In terms of family background, he was only stronger than He Yunxiao. In terms of talent, he had also written small poems and was confident that they were better than The Great Ming Lake. In terms of appearance, he asked himself if he was only slightly inferior to He Yunxiao by a billion points.

Most of all, he did not intend to enter the imperial examinations and joined the academy, purely because of Fan Ziruo’s presence.

As a result, he had not only failed to have a word with Fan Ziruo, but he had also been outplayed by He Yunxiao, who had just arrived.

He couldn’t accept this.

Damn it! Damn He Yunxiao, I’m not willing to give up!

Just as he was thinking and about to move, his arm was grabbed by a big hand.

It was the evolved Huang Buren!

Meng Yan looked back at Huang Buren, and even he had noticed that this Huang Buren was not in the right state recently.

“Brother Huang?”

Huang Buren’s gaze was very deep as he whispered, “Brother Meng Yan, hold back.”

Meng Yan: “Huh?”

Soon, he understood Brother Huang’s profound meaning.

If he clashed with He Yunxiao now, his own martial arts skills were not as high as his, even though his status was extraordinary, but He Yunxiao was used to being arrogant and wouldn’t care about that, he would definitely end up in a mess. In vain, he would let Fan Ziruo look at him as a joke.

Thank you Brother Huang!

Hold back!

I have to hold back!

Meng Yan was holding back while comforting himself: Meng Yan, you are sitting in the first row. This is the closest place to Fan Ziruo, as the saying goes, near the water, you will get the moon first. He Yunxiao will not be able to compete with you in the future.

He Yunxiao didn’t pay any attention to Meng Yan and Huang Buren’s movements, he just kept his eyes on Fan Ziruo.

Just now, a successful wave of “taking charge” had been effective.

But if he was satisfied with that, then He Yunxiao would not be He Yunxiao.

I don’t want to grab the first row with you guys because the first row has lost its meaning!

He Yunxiao grabbed his books and stood up with an “ooh”.

To everyone’s surprise, he actually caught himself in the mistake of being late.

He Yunxiao stood with a clear view of the mountains and at the same time, fearing that others might not be able to hear him, he said in a deliberate manner: “My tardiness matters little, but the attitude that caused it matters a lot. Details determine success or failure, and attitude determines everything. If there are no rules, there is no circle. Please forgive me, for I know my mistakes and can change them, but I cannot forgive myself, so I am willing to be punished!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, Miss Fan Ziruo let you off the hook, but you don’t let yourself off the hook.

Isn’t that silly?

All at once, sighs and jeers of shame came from all directions towards He Yunxiao.

But everyone was immediately speechless.

For He Yunxiao bluntly stated his purpose.

“I am willing to be punished! Just punish myself and let me block the wind for Sir!”

Having said that, He Yunxiao picked up the books he had prepared long ago, got up, passed the first row, and went straight to the teaching table.

Without blushing or skipping a beat, he sat down on Fan Ziruo’s left hand side.

Truth be told, this classroom was built by the pond and was permeable on all sides, and it was now morning, so it was indeed a bit chilly.

He Yunxiao, was late, so he punished himself for blocking the wind for Fan Ziruo, which was reasonable and justified.

However, the more the crowd thought about such a logical thing, the more they couldn’t understand it.

What the hell is going on? Wasn’t it self-punishment? How could this dog, He Yunxiao, be so close to Mr. Yuhe?

It was because earlier, when he was in the study room of the Fan Mansion for tutoring alone, He Yunxiao was sitting on the left hand side of Fan Ziruo.

Now, he was willing to punish himself by sitting on his left hand side again. And Miss Fan Ziruo didn’t see anything wrong with that, whether from reason or habit.

She continued her lecture without saying anything, and after a while, she suddenly realised that He Yunxiao’s “wind blocking” was really useful.

It seemed that the cold wind in the early morning was really gone.

This was not normal. He Yunxiao was not a wall, so how could he have blocked the wind?

Soon, the observant Fan Ziruo found something fishy.

The air around He Yunxiao appeared to bend as if it was above the hot stone floor in summer.

Although Fan Ziruo did not practice martial arts, she knew that this was a sign of the outward release of internal energy.

She took a deep look at He Yunxiao.

In her heart, she sighed: even if it was a self-punishment, it was not so bad.
