Chapter 26: Diablo 23

Tang Wan twitched the corner of her mouth before looking toward Yun Nuan, who wore a concerned expression.

Although she and Little Cutie had argued for a while just now, only a few seconds had actually passed in reality.

“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern,” Tang Wan replied to Yun Nuan, though her tone sounded somewhat weak.

“It’s good that you’re alright. These are the notes I took while you were absent from class. You can borrow them,” Yun Nuan said proactively.

Tang Wan raised her eyebrows slightly before accepting them and nodding.

“Okay. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. We’re classmates, so helping each other is only natural,” Yun Nuan said with a smile.

Being able to attend this aristocratic academy meant Yun Nuan’s family background was naturally decent among ordinary people.

But compared to the Tang family, the difference between them was like the sun and a firefly.

It could be said that among everyone in the class, Yun Nuan’s family background was the weakest.

However, her grades ranked first in the entire school, and she was very good at getting along with others, so she had excellent relationships with her classmates.

Unlike the original Tang Wan, who had almost no friends besides Zhou Weiwei.

The seat beside Tang Wan belonged to Yun Nuan only because no one else wanted to sit next to Tang Wan.

Still, from Tang Wan’s perspective—as someone who had spent years navigating the business world—Yun Nuan’s behavior was basically no different from a central heating system.

This girl intentionally treated everyone warmly.

In Tang Wan’s eyes, Yun Nuan’s kindness toward Tang Yitong resembled charity more than genuine care.

If she remembered him, she would bring him something to eat.

If she forgot him... then she forgot.

After all, she wasn’t his mother. It wasn’t her responsibility whether he ate or starved.

But Tang Wan had to admit that people like Yun Nuan were naturally well-liked and easily gained the goodwill of others.

It was just that, with Tang Wan’s current mentality, she personally looked down somewhat on people like Yun Nuan.

...

Seeing Yun Nuan proactively lend Tang Wan her notes, Lu Rongrong, the classmate sitting behind them, gently poked Yun Nuan’s back and whispered:

“Yun Nuan, why are you lending her your notes?”

Tang Wan had bullied Yun Nuan before.

Yun Nuan only smiled softly.

“We sit together. Helping each other is normal.”

“You’re way too kind! You help literally everyone!” Lu Rongrong said helplessly.

If Tang Wan weren’t the Tang family’s eldest daughter—and if their families didn’t have business dealings—then based solely on Tang Wan’s temper, nobody would want to bother with her.

But Yun Nuan only smiled again.

“Oh right! My brother’s coming home this weekend. He’s a top student from Kyoto University and was our city’s top scorer a few years ago. Do you want to come over and let him tutor us? I’ll secretly tell you—my brother is super handsome!” Lu Rongrong said excitedly.

Naturally, the “brother” she referred to was the male protagonist, Lu Yi.

Hearing this, Yun Nuan hesitated for a moment before eventually smiling and nodding.

“Okay.”

“Great! Then when my brother asks about my grades at school, you have to say good things for me, okay? Please!” Lu Rongrong begged.

“Alright!” Yun Nuan agreed.

...

Tang Wan listened to their conversation, and her heart stirred slightly.

So the male and female leads still hadn’t met yet?

Or perhaps...

Should she break them apart?

However, the moment that thought appeared, Little Cutie instantly jumped out in panic.

“Host, you absolutely cannot break apart the main couple! You have to remember—the male lead isn’t yours! Only the villain belongs to you!”

“Got it,” Tang Wan snorted softly.

Then she asked:

“What if I don’t interfere, and they simply don’t end up together naturally?”

“Impossible! They’re destined for each other!” Little Cutie declared firmly.

Then he hesitated slightly before adding:

“If they don’t get together naturally, then it’s fine as long as you weren’t the one interfering. But if you deliberately prevent the male and female leads from being together, you’ll be punished. I don’t want you to get punished.”

After all, this was his very first host.

He didn’t want her to disappear so soon after binding with him.
