I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Chapter 28: Monarch of Love Songs

"I hugged you deeply into my arms"

"Hold you in my palm"

"Because you're the one I love"

"In this clean world of love"

"You're my only one"

"Never ever suspect"

Song Zhenyu was captivated listening to Wang Haoran's immersive singing.

The entire class exploded upon witnessing this scene.

Song Zhenyu snapped out of her dreamy state due to the commotion.

"You've felt the song enough already. Go aside now and don't just sing to me."

Song Zhengyu said teasingly as she returned back to her usual self. She then grabbed hold of Wang Haoran's shoulders and pushed him to the side.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Wang Haoran stopped just before Xu Muyan's desk.

Did he also plan to sing the song to Xu Muyan?

Of course, he didn't and never would.

Wang Haoran had long since planned to adopt the 'In Order to Capture, One Must Let Loose' strategy to pursue Xu Muyan as it suited her the best.

Though she seems like a girl easy to get close to, she was actually a tsundere at heart.

It was completely useless to have a caring attitude towards her.

If one pursues her openly, she wouldn't even bother sparing him a glance.

However, if one ignored her, she would instead be interested in him.

Wang Haoran shifted his gaze to Wen Jing's body.

Xu Muyan felt somewhat awkward.

Though Wang Haoran stood right before her, he was staring at Wen Jing. What did that even mean?

Wang Haoran's bewitching and irresistible voice, along with the music sounded again.

"I treat you as the air I breath"

"So inseparable"

"I loudly proclaim that the one that I love is you"

"In this happy country of love"

"You're my only one"

"The only one I love is you"

"I really really love you"

To begin with, Wen Jing was head over heels in love with Wang Haoran. Being caught off guard with her crush singing her a love confession song, the inner turmoil she was undergoing at the moment couldn't be put in words.

Meanwhile, Xu Muyan at the side had mixed feelings about this.

Though Wang Haoran wasn't staring at her, it didn't change the fact that he was standing right before her.

It seemed like the song was sung to Xu Muyan.

At least this was what Xu Muyan thought so.

The original love confession song which already had a unique charm to it, after being enhanced by the 'God-Level Singing Skill' could move one's heart.

What was even more noteworthy was that the love confession song was being sung by a superbly handsome man.

This scene and the setting were too enticing.

However, what made Xu Muyan feel bitter was Wang Haoran's gaze that wasn't on her and his singing the song to Wen Jing, her bestie.

Though Xu Muyan felt bitter about it, she couldn't suppress her heart throbbing and her cheeks reddened.

...

"In this happy country of love"

"You're my only one"

"The only one I love is you"

"I really really love you"

"The only one I love is you"

"I really really love you"

As the song was nearing its end, Wang Haoran turned to look at Xu Muyan with burning eyes.

The haunting music of the love confession song, coupled with Wang Haoran staring at her with his pair of 'Love Affair Eyes', Xu Muyan felt her heart throbbing for a split second.

Xu Muyan, for the first time ever, got to experience such an intense emotion.

[Ding! Xu Muyan, one of the heroine's favorability for the host has been risen by 10 points. The current total favorability is 50 points. (Heartfelt Adoration)]

[Ding! The Host succeeded in doing critical damage to the course of the storyline, rewarding 500 villain points. Chu Bai's Protagonist Halo weakened by 30 points while Host's Villain Halo is raised by 30 points.]

Receiving the system's prompt, Wang Haoran was deep down delighted.

The system's reward of 500 villain points was the highest he had received so far.

However, it didn't come much of a surprise when Wang Haoran thought about it. As a villain, it would be strange if he hadn't been rewarded enough when he flirted with Xu Muyan, the female lead.

Along with checking the system prompt, Wang Haoran also took a look at his current attribute panel.

[Host: Wang Haoran]

[Combat Prowess: 289]

[Charm: 268]

[Villain Halo: 289]

[Villain Points: 1300]

[Skills: Master-Level Painting and Calligraphy Mimic Skills, Master-Level Actual Combat Style: Singing Spring Fist]

Not only did Wang Haoran's heartfelt song fetch him a raise in favorability of both Xu Muyan and Song Zhenyu, the two heroines but he had also received thunderous applause from the students.

Chu Bai in the class, however, didn't seem to have the least bit of intention to cheer.

He was gazing at Xu Muyan who was in a daze staring at Wang Haoran.

"Something seems off with Xu Muyan's look. It's not that she likes Wang Haoran, right?" Chu Bai grew restless.

He could only hate himself for not knowing how to sing. If not, he would have already gone up there and sang a love confession song to win Xu Muyan over.

Though Chu Bai was restless, he soon composed himself.

He would be turning the tables when the results of the joint examination would be out. As long as he ranks in one of the top ten in the class, he could get Xu Muyan to be his girlfriend.

Wasn't Chu Bai worried whether or not Xu Muyan would comply?

He happened to be an expert at pestering.

Chu Bai planned to hold himself back from pestering Xu Muyan before the college entrance examination in the name of respecting her opinion.

But once the college entrance examination would be over, Xu Muyan would've no choice but to officially be his girlfriend.

Moreover, from the way Father Xu had treated him, Chu Bai didn't really think Father Xu would oppose.

It was Father Xu that agreed to the bet in his daughter's stead after all.

"Wang Haoran, I have already got my future father-in-law's approval. Are you even worthy to compete against me?" Chu Bai couldn't help but feel smug inwardly.

*****

The next following day.

Saturday.

According to the college entrance examination subject timetable, the first exam in the morning was literature and language.

When the exam had officially commenced, Chu Bai immediately turned to the last page to answer the composition question.

Everyone had their own style of writing the composition which wasn't something he could casually copy. So, Chu Bai didn't intend to cheat and wanted to rely on his own ability to write the composition.

He was good at writing compositions as they were the only classes he attended.

It took Chu Bai about forty minutes to complete writing the composition.

The composition wasn't really a tough one. He put the basics just in their places.

The maximum score for the composition was 60 points. Chu Bai expected to score a bit more than 40 points.

This was enough.

Chu Bai stretched his hands and was prepared to start cheating.

In the forty minutes that he wrote the composition, the top-ranking students before him must have completed many questions.

The only thing he now needed to do was to copy them to his paper and he would be done with the exam.

Just when Chu Bai lifted his head up and was about to use his 'X-ray vision' ability, a somewhat fierce face showed up before him, spreading in his field of vision.

"Student, Focus on your exam, don't sneak glances. Just look at your own exam paper." Xin Liangcai reminded.

What could Chu Bai do?

Of course, he could only nod sincerely.

He pretended to answer a few questions for a while. He then wanted to start his cheating plan again as he guessed Xin Liangcai to take his leave by then.

However, when he just lifted his head up this time, Xin Liangcai once again showed up before him.

"Why are you sneaking glances? Are you trying to cheat? If I see you lifting your head up again, I'll debar you from the exam!" Xin Liangcai warned.

Chu Bai had no choice but to lower his head down and stare at his own exam paper.

He then heard the sound of a moving stool next to him.

While continuing to look at the exam paper, Chu Bai from the corner of his eye saw Xin Liangcai moving the stool next to him.

Xin Liangcai then took his seat beside him at a close distance and started to keep a watch on him.

"Geez! Is this guy sick or something?!"

Chu Bai cursed inwardly. He even wished to grab hold of the stool and smash it down Xin Liangcai's head.

With Xin Liancai now keeping a close watch on him, how could he cheat?

Though Chu Bai was annoyed and was filled with resentment, he didn't flare up and had to solve his own exam paper. He could only pray for Xin Liangcai to take his leave.

However, Chu Bai was left with disappointment.

Xin Liangcai was monitoring him the whole time.

Chu Bai had no choice but to solve the exam paper with his own ability.

As his academic performance was poor, to begin with, in addition to him being resentful, he left many questions blank.

After the examination, though Chu Bai was beside himself with loss, he nevertheless managed to cheer himself up.

He might be failing this exam leading to plummeting his overall score, but if he managed to do well in the afternoon mathematics exam and the exams after that, not all hope would be lost.

At 3:00 p.m.

The Mathematics Exam.

As soon as the Xin Liangcai, the invigilator finished distributing the mathematics exam papers, under Chu Bai's terrified and panicked gaze, he immediately moved a stool and sat down next to him.

"I'm done for..."

Chu Bai's complexion turned into one of despair as though he had lost his own parents.
