My older sister is a villainous rich girl

He laughed somewhat awkwardly.

"I don't think so."

Even if it exists, that's normal.

Wayne put the mask into his bag, then picked it up and walked over to Tasia, joining her as they walked down the street.

Despite the many random thoughts flashing through his mind, Tasia was clearly unaware of them.

She looked at the stone bricks beneath her feet, where the two had trod, and hesitated, saying, "There's a very strange feeling about Wayne... It's hard to describe precisely, but it's different from the feeling he gives off with anyone else..."

Wayne: ? ? ?

Are you really not interested in me?

Although he couldn't help but feel a lot of complaints, he was also very clear that the so-called "she likes me" was one of the three great illusions in life.

So, he asked with some curiosity, "What kind of feeling is it? Dislike?"

If it's really that obvious... why didn't Tasia realize that the person she met, Echo, was Wayne?

He felt there must be something wrong with this.

However, Wayne didn't think Tasia was lying.

Beside him, Tasia pondered for a moment and said, "If I had to describe it, well... it's like a strange sense of disharmony. It's like something's out of place."

Perhaps fearing he might misunderstand, Tasia explained further, "However, there's no unpleasant aura, just a slightly peculiar sensation."

"It's like... a glass of blue water with a splash of red mixed in."

"If you don't notice it, you won't think much of it, but once you do, you'll realize that this difference is hard to ignore."

When she mentioned "misalignment," Wayne fell silent.

After a long while, he asked softly, "When did Tasia start having these feelings?"

Could it be that they discovered some of my outward characteristics as a time traveler?

Why is Chris okay again?

“I sensed it the moment I was invited to the Duke of Winchester’s mansion for hot pot,” she said.

Wayne nodded. "Have you encountered anyone else who has experienced the same situation as me?"

He inquired subtly.

Tasia hugged the doll and shook her head.

'No... then it seems the problem lies with my body?'

Wayne fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, both Chris and I are transmigrators, but she can receive the complete memories, while I only have a little bit of vague information from the animation.

The difference in treatment is indeed quite significant.

Moreover, according to the original plot, there should have been... exactly one transmigrator.

Could it be that I am an illegal immigrant?

When the thought crossed his mind, Wayne was startled.

Lost in his confusion about his role, he didn't notice that almost everyone passing by him and Tasia couldn't help but cast glances at them.

"That guy is really handsome..."

"They're such a perfect match!"

Ah, youth is wonderful!

The crowd whispered among themselves, and even after walking a long way, they kept looking back.

Tasia looked embarrassed and slowly stopped walking.

……

The brightly lit market was bustling with people, and it seemed that noise could be heard from every corner.

Standing by a window in the Edgeworth family business building, Ge Li watched the endless stream of people on the street.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress.

Even at night, the tulle dress adorned with various gemstones shone with a dazzling starlight under the lights.

The black veil covered most of her face.

But this slight obscuring did not diminish her stunning beauty in the slightest; on the contrary, it made her figure appear even more noble and mysterious.

Originally, she didn't need to personally attend such a trade festival.

In fact, even many members of her own chamber of commerce were unaware that she had come to the chamber's building.

It was a completely spur-of-the-moment decision.

Even she herself couldn't say for sure whether she wanted to oversee the operation of her own business or just wanted to catch her breath from Wayne's nightly harassment.

Thinking of this, Ge Li sighed silently.

I never thought he was so clingy.

These people, seen only briefly, look like ants from above.

Even ants have their own rich and colorful lives. In another corner of the same sky, these people might also be fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters…

When they return home, will they be greeted by their families with smiles on their faces?

she does not know.

Just as she didn't know whether, many, many years later, she would be able to live such a life with Wayne, spending every day together.

At this moment, Ge Li was feeling somewhat down.

Especially when you see couples walking down the street, their eyes only for each other.

Their smiles were so pure and so sincere.

She... was very envious.

--no.

Seeing those perfect love stories only makes my current mindset more and more affected.

Watching too much won't help; let's do something else to distract ourselves.

That's what she was thinking.

Suddenly, another young couple came into her view from the other side of the street.

Perhaps because they were such a perfect match, the two seemed to be shrouded in a glow, causing all passersby to frequently turn around and look at them.

Ge Li was about to turn and leave, but she had only taken two steps from the window when a thunderbolt seemed to flash over her head, causing her to shudder.

The person I just saw was—

She quickly ran back to the window and looked down at the building.

Just that one glance made her chest heave violently.

In the dim light, the person gazing tenderly at the girl before him with a smile—who else could it be but Wayne?!

What's even more despicable is that, feeling guilty, he changed into coarse cloth clothes...

This is utterly blatant attempt to cover it up!

Ge Li felt like he was about to explode with anger.

……

Noticing that Tasia had stopped walking for some reason, Wayne turned around and looked at her.

"Hmm? Tasia, what's wrong?" he asked with concern.

“Vienna… I should probably head back.”

Was it because of the lamplight? Tasia's face turned slightly red.

“Then I’ll give you a ride,” Wayne laughed. “It’s alright, I don’t have anything else to do.”

Chapter 299 Ge Li Goes All Out

However, almost immediately after he finished speaking...

"Via! En!"

Behind Tasia, Goli's almost frenzied voice rang out: "What are you doing!"

Danger! ×10086

Wayne shuddered and looked up.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Miss Kareem, who was walking briskly toward him with one hand slightly lifting the hem of her skirt.

Judging from her attire alone, she appeared to be dressed up for an important banquet.

However, her still anxious and hurried movements, her slightly heaving chest, and the angry look on her face all indicated that things were not so simple.

The area around him suddenly became quiet.

The once noisy street suddenly became eerily silent, as if all the air had vanished and turned into a vacuum.

Sensing something was amiss, Wayne quickly said, "Ah... it's Ge Li. I didn't expect to see you here."

He wanted to quickly change the subject and say that they could talk about it when they got back, but Ge Li clearly wasn't willing to follow his plan.

"Who is she? What is your relationship with her?" she asked directly.

The voice was icy cold.

Although she asked that question, she didn't look at Tasia at all, but stared intently into Wayne's eyes, as if trying to see something in them.

Tasia, who seemed to have been frozen in place since earlier, slowly turned around at this moment.

She first looked at Ge Li, then at Wayne, and then frowned thoughtfully, but said nothing.

“Ah, this…” Wayne was speechless.

“This is Tasia! One of my friends, don’t you know her too?”

Upon hearing his words, a look of shock flashed in Ge Li's eyes, and he finally couldn't help but glance at Tasia.

"She... isn't she also Chris's friend? I thought what happened last time was just a misunderstanding, but I didn't expect you to actually..." she murmured in disbelief.

Ge Li seemed to have completely concluded that Wayne, that rabbit, was eating the grass right next to its burrow.

You must have misunderstood.

Wayne's face darkened, and he immediately interrupted her.

Noticing the various gazes directed at him from all around, he finally realized that there was a great risk involved in being in public.

Without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed Ge Li's hand, "Let's talk somewhere else."

Suddenly pulled back by Wayne, Ge Li bit her lip.

But in the end, she held back and didn't shake him off.

Wayne strode ahead, leading them to another secluded spot behind the street.

There are no stalls or shops here, and most tourists will stop and turn back when they see that the area is dimly lit and dark.

Therefore, no other passersby will disturb them.

The darkness seemed to make him more relaxed. Wayne let out a breath and released Geli.

“I decided to buy some gifts for my friends on a whim, and then I ran into Tasia on the street, so we walked together for a while,” he explained. “It’s not the kind of relationship you’re thinking of.”

To enhance his persuasiveness, he even took off his cloth bag and opened it for Ge Li to see.

"Look, I bought all of these before I met Tasia. If I were really going on a date with a girl, I wouldn't go shopping for a bunch of odds and ends first, would I?"

He took out the gift he had chosen for Ge Li.

"This magic music box... was originally meant to be a surprise for you."

Wayne handed over the gift while gazing at her expectantly.
