The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 25: Lan Yuxi Returned with a Bottle of Water:

When Lan Yuxi heard Wang Cheng’s words, sensing that he suspected her of doing something unfaithful, a hint of resentment flashed across her delicate face.

“Wang Cheng, are you implying that I, Lan Yuxi, am a fickle girl? If that’s what you think, then don’t talk to me ever again.”

Clearly, it was Wang Cheng who had caused this mess in the first place, dragging her into it and making her suffer the consequences—losing her first kiss. Now, he had the audacity to blame her for getting too close to Qi Lin? She felt both heartbroken and wronged, wishing she could just kick him.

“Uh…”

Between Wang Cheng and Lan Yuxi, Wang Cheng was undoubtedly the weaker party.

Despite his earlier aggressive attitude, he immediately shrank back when Lan Yuxi shot him a sharp glare with her beautiful eyes.

Lan Yuxi came from an elite family, whereas Wang Cheng was just a poor kid from an ordinary background.

Even if she didn’t end up with him, there were still plenty of outstanding men who would pursue her.

But if he lost Lan Yuxi, he might never find such an outstanding and wealthy beauty again.

“No way, how could I ever doubt you, Yuxi? I was just angry at Qi Lin for spouting nonsense and acting so shamelessly. He must have been the one who approached you first, and you, being kind-hearted, just accepted his offer to get into his car, right?”

Wang Cheng forced a smile, even coming up with excuses on Lan Yuxi’s behalf.

A man groveling to this extent in front of his future partner—he was truly something else.

After all, they had been classmates for over six years. Wang Cheng apologized over and over again, trying to make amends, which helped ease some of Lan Yuxi’s anger.

“It was after school. Qi Lin saw me walking under the scorching sun, so he stopped his car and offered me a ride. At first, I didn’t want to get in, but he was overly enthusiastic. Since we’re classmates, I didn’t want to make things too awkward, so I agreed.”

“I also don’t like owing people favors, so I treated Qi Lin to a meal. After that, he insisted on driving me back to school, and I agreed. But who knew that he… he would go to your house? So now you understand, right? It was all just a misunderstanding.”

Lan Yuxi’s delicate face turned slightly red.

She had lied repeatedly today.

But what else could she do? How was she supposed to explain to Wang Cheng why she was in Qi Lin’s car?

She couldn’t possibly say that she had been caught cheating on an exam, and Qi Lin had used that to manipulate her, stealing her first kiss and setting off a chain of events…

If Wang Cheng heard that, he might faint from anger on the spot.

People always need a reason they can accept.

“I knew it! A toad like Qi Lin could never win over someone as outstanding as you, Yuxi.”

Hearing that nothing happened between Lan Yuxi and Qi Lin, Wang Cheng was overjoyed and immediately started showering her with praise.

“Enough with the sweet talk. Who was the one getting jealous for no reason just now?”

Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him.

Suddenly remembering something, her expression turned serious as she warned Wang Cheng, “Let me tell you something—stay away from Qi Lin in the future. He’s not someone you can handle.”

What man likes hearing his crush say that another man is better than him?

Wang Cheng felt stifled.

But he didn’t dare to ignore her words.

“Alright, I got it.”

He nodded.

However, deep inside, he was sneering.

“He’s just a spoiled rich kid with some money. Since this bastard is after my Yuxi, I definitely won’t let him off.”

“Just wait. One day, I’ll make Qi Lin kneel in front of Yuxi and apologize. I’ll make Yuxi see me in a whole new light.”

…

“The exam starts in ten minutes. If anyone needs to use the restroom or buy water, go now.”

Homeroom teacher Mei Sanyuan walked up to the podium with the test papers, sat down, took a sip of tea, and then addressed the students.

Wang Cheng immediately glanced at Qi Lin, wanting to see his reaction.

If Qi Lin went to buy water, he would follow him and mooch off his drinks and snacks.

Today, he hadn’t brought a single cent to school. Let’s see how Qi Lin could trick him this time.

But to his surprise, Qi Lin remained seated, showing no intention of getting up to buy water. Instead, Lan Yuxi, who was sitting next to him, stood up and walked out of the classroom.

As she reached the doorway, Lan Yuxi bit her lower lip and shot a glare at Qi Lin with her beautiful eyes.

Now she understood why Qi Lin had insisted that she buy water for him.

The bastard just wanted to anger Wang Cheng.

At first, she didn’t want to go.

But then Qi Lin shook his phone, his dark eyes filled with mischief.

It was as if he was saying, If you don’t go, I’ll show these photos to Wang Cheng.

It was just a matter of coming back and explaining things, right?

Lan Yuxi felt extremely frustrated but had no choice but to head to the convenience store.

Perhaps out of spite, when she returned, she had only bought the cheapest bottle of Wahaha mineral water for Qi Lin.

But Qi Lin didn’t mind at all.

His goal was to create a rift between Lan Yuxi and Wang Cheng.

What he drank didn’t matter.

When Lan Yuxi returned with a bottle of water, Wang Cheng saw it immediately.

At first, he was stunned. Then, joy filled his heart.

Lan Yuxi usually brought her own pink water bottle to school.

Since she had gone out to buy water today, it must have been for him.

She must have noticed that he hadn’t brought water today, so she made a special trip to the store to buy him one.

This was probably her way of making up for the little argument they had earlier, right?

“Yuxi, you really don’t have to be so thoughtful.”

Sitting in the front row, Wang Cheng stood up when Lan Yuxi walked past him, ready to take the bottle and thank her.

However, Lan Yuxi ignored him completely and continued walking past him.

“Here, your water.”

She arrived at the last row, kept a straight face, and shoved the bottle roughly into Qi Lin’s hands.

Qi Lin didn’t stand on ceremony—he opened the cap and took a big gulp.

“Ah~ Hehe, the water from the class monitor tastes especially sweet.”

He smirked and glanced at Lan Yuxi’s soft lips.

Lan Yuxi, of course, understood what he meant. Her face turned red, and she shot him a glare before turning away.

Meanwhile, in the front row, Wang Cheng stood frozen, as if struck by lightning. His mind went completely blank.

The entire class was just as shocked.

Everyone knew that Lan Yuxi had always disliked Qi Lin.

Yet now, she had actually bought water for him?

It was as if the sun had risen from the west.

Homeroom teacher Mei Sanyuan glanced at Qi Lin and Lan Yuxi before lowering his head again, focusing on the exam papers.

Lan Yuxi was an excellent student. He didn’t believe she would get involved in an early relationship.

As for her giving Qi Lin water—that was her personal business.

Maybe she was just being kind-hearted, trying to help the struggling student in their class.
