The Villain Turned the Heroines Into Resentment Souls

Chapter 4: The Little Heroine Is About to Cry! Pretending to Be a Face-Slapping Plot?

[Ding! You obtained Xia Mengyao’s fear value +888]

Xu Hao smiled, gently wiping away a tear from the corner of Xia Mengyao’s eye. His voice sounded soft, almost like a lover’s whisper, “Come on now, don’t cry. I’m not a bad person.”

“Be good, listen to me. I’ll pretend to be your boyfriend tonight.”

Xia Mengyao was on the verge of tears.

Not a bad person? There were no bad people in the world, right?

She wanted to say something, but before she could, Xu Hao was already leading her upstairs. She felt completely bewildered.

Was this her party or his?

Why did he seem to know more about this place than she did? Helpless, and with no other options, she followed him in fear.

I shouldn’t have come. I’d rather have missed the party than be in this situation.

…

At the door, Lin Feng had not left.

His eyebrows were tightly furrowed as he replayed the earlier scene in his mind. Something didn’t sit right with him. He couldn’t shake the image of Xia Mengyao leaving with Xu Hao, and he felt a deep sense of loss. It’s like I’ve lost something precious.

Shaking his head, Lin Feng decided to follow them. He didn’t want to see such a beautiful girl end up in the arms of someone else.

Donglaishun Restaurant.

This national chain of hot pot restaurants had been serving customers for over 20 years. Known for its Sichuan flavors and attentive service, Donglaishun Restaurant had become a popular and trusted brand.

In a spacious private room on the third floor, several tables were set, and a group of people chatted happily inside.

“Ugh… I messed up today. I was too blunt,” groaned one guy from a group of four.

“What’s bothering you? Tell us, we’re all friends here.”Someone asked curiously.

“You guys know I like my neighbor, right? Today, she told me she was taking a shower and asked me to get her some takeout. So, I went downstairs to grab it for her. When I brought it to her, she thanked me and invited me to dinner. I said, ‘If I had more money, I’d rather add 5 yuan and get fish-flavored shredded pork because hamburgers are unhealthy and make you gain weight.’ After that, she just ignored me…”

After hearing the story, the group went silent for a moment.

“Hmm… I think Kung Pao Chicken tastes better.”

Another chimed in, “Spicy shredded potatoes will always be my favorite.”

“Wait, why am I discussing recipes with you?”

At another table, a group was whispering.

“Hey, it’s almost dinner time, and the class monitor still hasn’t arrived. Do you think her fake boyfriend story is about to be exposed?”

“Come on, everyone knows what’s going on. There’s no way she actually has a boyfriend.”

“Maybe she’s here but too embarrassed to come in because she didn’t bring her ‘boyfriend.’”

“I don’t get why Xia Mengyao doesn’t go for someone like Liu Yun. He’s good-looking, has a great figure, and would be a perfect match for her.”

A bright smile spread across Liu Yun’s face as he overheard the conversation. Today’s party was part of his plan to pursue Xia Mengyao, the campus belle. In the past, no matter how he tried, she always ignored him and even seemed a little disgusted. He had spent a lot of time thinking about it.

Some people said girls like mature men. Why else would all those older men be so popular?

Suddenly, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up. That makes sense! He had started to study business, reading books, and helping out at his family’s company. Over time, he became the manager and dressed more maturely. This party was the perfect opportunity to impress her again.

Next to him, an empty seat had been saved for Xia Mengyao. Liu Yun was determined to win her over this time.

Click.

The sound of the door opening drew everyone’s attention. Xia Mengyao walked in, holding Xu Hao’s arm.

Gasp…

“Look, the class monitor’s here! Wait, who’s that handsome guy with her?”

“Could that really be her boyfriend? His presence is so captivating.”

“This is going to be interesting. Liu Yun went through so much trouble for her, but the class monitor really brought her boyfriend…”

The crowd started buzzing with chatter. All eyes were on Xu Hao and Xia Mengyao. Liu Yun’s face turned pale. He knew Xia Mengyao’s personality. If Xu Hao wasn’t really her boyfriend, she wouldn’t let him hold her like that. But they were clearly walking in as a couple.

No matter. Even if she has a boyfriend, I’ll win her over.

Clenching his fists, Liu Yun muttered under his breath, “Xia Mengyao, you belong to me.”

Hiding his emotions, he forced a smile and stood up to greet her.

…

“Yaoyao, you’re finally here!” Xia Mengyao’s best friend, Li Yue, rushed to greet her with a mischievous smile on her face. “Is this your boyfriend? Care to introduce me?”

She grabbed Xia Mengyao’s hand, glancing at Xu Hao, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Wow, Yaoyao’s boyfriend was so handsome. She couldn’t believe it! She almost wanted to steal him herself. What should she do? She needs advice, fast!

But Li Yue didn’t notice how uncomfortable Xia Mengyao seemed.

“Hello, I’m Xu Hao, Mengyao’s boyfriend,” Xu Hao said with a charming smile, extending his hand for a handshake.

Li Yue’s heart skipped a beat as she quickly shook his hand, her fingers lingering a moment longer than necessary.

“My name’s Li Yue, Yaoyao’s best friend.” She stammered with a slight blush on her face.

Xu Hao withdrew his hand, indifferent. She’s just a side character, not worth my attention.

…

Just then, another voice interrupted the moment.

“Sir, welcome! Please, have a seat. We saved a place for you.” Liu Yun smiled, though his eyes were fixated on Xia Mengyao. Xu Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing this as the setup for a typical “face-slapping” scene meant for the protagonist.

Normally, this was where Lin Feng would face Liu Yun, who would insult him. But Lin Feng, being the protagonist, would retaliate, impressing everyone, especially Xia Mengyao.

A playful smirk crossed Xu Hao’s lips as he thought inwardly, “I wonder what happens when this kind of scene plays out in front of someone like me, a real top-tier rich and handsome man?”

Liu Yun led Xu Hao and Xia Mengyao to their seats.
