My older sister is a villainous rich girl.

Chapter 117 Wayne also had a tough time.

A corner that no one notices.

Beside a clearing hidden by trees, a cleverly constructed wooden viewing pavilion stands.

Even in details that most people wouldn't notice, the builders of the academy demonstrated a very sophisticated aesthetic sense.

Unidentified flowers and plants grow around the pavilion, and being in such a leisurely environment is truly refreshing.

The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and a cool breeze is blowing.

Wayne pulled Goli over and sat her down on a bench in the viewing pavilion.

"What did you mean that day?"

"Wha-what do you mean?"

She's still pretending to be stupid.

"What does it mean if you suddenly kiss me?"

Ge Li merely avoided eye contact and refused to answer.

"And also—why won't you reimburse my expenses?"

Upon hearing his words, the girl paused slightly, then finally looked up and met his eyes.

Those beautiful pink lips parted slightly, yet uttered the most heartless words.

Le

Because you're not worth it.

Wayne, who had taken the direct hit, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

—That's a really harsh statement.

Before he could say anything more, she coldly said, "Now, can you let me go?"

He then realized that he was still holding her shoulders.

His hands jerked back as if he'd been electrocuted, and he took two steps back.

He was a little bewildered when he received an answer that was completely different from what he had expected.

"Then...then you kissed me before?"

"Ah, because I recently heard that you won the title of 'the guy girls most want to kiss' among girls, so I wanted to give it a try."

The various fantasies in Wayne's mind instantly cooled down.

"That's all?"

"Otherwise what?"

Ge Li stared at him stubbornly.

She suddenly smiled sweetly, "Do you really think I would like you?"

Do you want me to give up everything to confess my feelings to you, only to be cruelly rejected by you?

Confessing your feelings is always a victory song, not a battle cry.

Wayne Winch, I remember every single word you said.

"Don't even dream about it." Her expression turned cold as she said indifferently, "Given the relationship between our two families, that's simply impossible."

Wayne was a little annoyed. "If someone else wins first place, will you kiss them too?"

"—For things like this, once is enough."

She lowered her gaze and said sarcastically in a malicious tone, "First place, nothing special."

Wayne looked grim.

"That's all?" he repeated those four words.

"Miss Geli," Wayne said, "I'm very sorry, but—"

"I won't admit that was a kiss."

"Even if one day in the future I am asked about my first kiss or the girl I kissed for the first time, the image that comes to mind will not be yours."

Ge Li's small face suddenly turned pale.

She bit her bloodless lower lip tightly, and even her thin body trembled uncontrollably.

"It was just a minor scratch on the very surface of my skin. I'm more passionate about kissing my own dog than I am about kissing you."

Wayne arrogantly uttered these harsh words and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose.

The winds from all directions converged into the viewing pavilion, making it difficult for Wayne to move an inch.

"—You kiss your dog more passionately than you kiss me?"

Behind him, Ge Li's disheveled hair was being blown about wildly by the wind.

"Wait! Don't use magic in the teaching area! It's against school rules and you'll be punished!" Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, Wayne...

He shouted.

"Ha—we Edgeworths have never been afraid of punishment."

Her eyes were already red, and she looked like she was on the verge of going berserk.

"Hey? You two, what are you doing?"

A slightly abrupt voice rang out, interrupting the tragedy that was about to unfold.

The gale suddenly stopped.

Outside the viewing pavilion stood a girl wearing a school uniform with shoulder-length flaxen hair.

I don't know when it arrived.

Ge Li withdrew her gaze, stood up, and gracefully straightened the hem of her skirt.

He then forcefully shoved aside Wayne's figure blocking his way and left without looking back.

—As expected, I've been having a run of bad luck lately.

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is Wayne alright?" the girl with flaxen hair asked with concern.

"I saw you two looked like you were about to fight, so I joined your conversation. I'm sorry—"

"It's alright, in fact, you were a great help." Wayne smiled somewhat awkwardly. "What's Tasia doing here?"

"I've been here all along."

Wayne: !!!

Is Ning the female lead from the side story?

"Ah, but I guess because I was sitting behind that tree, I wasn't noticed?"

————I see.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Wayne's inner turmoil was screaming: "Quickly change the subject and bring up something else!"

Since they were there the whole time, wouldn't they have a good chance of hearing me questioning why Ge Li stole the kiss?

It looks really strange no matter how you look at it!

"Oh! By the way, Tasia, are any girls still bullying you now?"

Tasia paused for a moment at his question, then smiled and said, "Although I still inexplicably lose some pens or short pieces..."

"It's alright, I can handle it."

"No—just because you can handle it yourself doesn't mean you can ignore those minor injuries."

Wayne said in a very formal tone, "If you encounter anything that you'd rather not tell me or Chris, you can go to Ms. Olive."

"She's a very nice person, and she's also my senior. If you just mention my name, she'll definitely help you."

Tasia's eyes lit up, and she asked with great anticipation, "Ms. Olive? Is she the founder of the student council?"

"Yes."

When talking about the student council, Wayne could never forget that shabby wooden shed.

"How are the student council members?" he asked with concern.

"Everyone here is a very nice person, especially Senior Sister Meimei who helped me a lot."

Tasia showed no resentment whatsoever and happily recounted some amusing anecdotes about the student council members.

Wayne listened attentively, nodding occasionally. "If we get along well, that would be wonderful—"

After a few casual words, Wayne said goodbye to her.

"It's getting late, and I just remembered I have some very important things to do. I'm sorry, I have to go back now."

He waved casually, "See you next time."

It was as if he had only come here specifically to reconnect with her and that nothing special had happened.

"Okay, see you next time."

Tasia also raised her right hand and shook it gently.

After he left, the pavilion was empty.

Tasia glanced at the pavilion, then sighed deeply, as if filled with emotion, "Wayne—he's had a tough time too."
