My older sister is a villainous rich girl

Two meters, five meters... ten meters.

He suddenly quickened his pace to catch up and took Ge Li's hand.

"Excuse me, I have a few words I'd like to say to Ge Li..."

He looked at the unfamiliar girl and smiled, "Excuse me, could you please go back now?"

Ge Li was startled, then tried to break free of him in a panic.

"What...what are you doing?"

Wayne asked seriously, "Are you sure you want me to say it here?"

"..."

Under his unwavering gaze, Ge Li turned his head away and stopped struggling.

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?"

"What...what do you mean?"

She's still pretending to be stupid.

"What does it mean that you suddenly kissed me?"

Ge Li merely avoided eye contact and refused to answer.

"And... 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.

"—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 she 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 by the answer he received, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

"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?"

"if not?"

Ge Li stared at him stubbornly.

She suddenly smiled sweetly, "Could it be that you 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, and she said indifferently, "Given the relationship between our two families, that's simply impossible."

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

"...For this kind of thing, trying it once is enough."

She lowered her gaze and said in a sarcastic 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 it 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! You'll break school rules and get punished!" Wayne shouted, sensing the danger.

"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? What are you two 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...I've been here all along."

Wayne: !!!

Is Ning the female lead from the side story?

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

Oh, I see.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

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

If he was there the whole time, wouldn't he have a good chance of hearing her questioning why she stole the kiss?

It looks really strange!

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

Tasia paused for a moment at his question, then smiled and said, "Although I still sometimes lose some pens or small stationery items for no reason, 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 don't want to talk to me or Chris about, you can go to Ms. Olive."

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

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 they 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.

"Um... 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 and sighed deeply, "Wayne... has had a tough time too."

Chapter 118 Circus Performance, Strange People

weekend.

The four people, dressed in casual clothes, met up on Central Street.

Chris wore a wide-brimmed sun hat, with a delicate beaded chain hanging next to a small flower tied with a pink ribbon on the side.

On the other side, Molly was dressed in a light and casual outfit with a lively ponytail; while Eve was still wearing a white dress embroidered with lovely floral patterns.

Wayne was carrying Chris's backpack, his steps were unsteady, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious.

"Wayne, you look very tired."

Miss Eve, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was smiling at him.

"Good morning, Eve," Wayne greeted her. "Your dress looks beautiful today."

"Thank you," she said softly.

But then she added in a worried tone, "But Wayne, you should take care of your health. You look like you're overindulging in too much..."

Wayne: ? ? ?

He shouted back, "I just have a little insomnia! It's not... you know..."

Chris and Molly, who were walking ahead, both looked at them with strange expressions.

At the critical moment, Wayne took back the words he was about to utter.
