They are still close to me today despite their negative feelings

They are still close to me today despite their negative feelings

Author: Zhu Dongliu

Summary:

"Please stop following me after school!"

"And don't pester my friends to ask for my private information!!"

"The most important thing is not to take the initiative to save a seat for me in the cafeteria!!!"

"That's all! Please keep us just classmates. Thank you!"

Unable to bear the persistent pursuit, An Yu, the popular idol of Class F, stood at the door and rejected Ning Ruoyu, who had the worst reputation in the school and whose life goal was to flirt with and lick women.

Ah, actually, it's a pretty satisfying scene. People who lower the reputation of men, feel good about themselves, and yet cause trouble to others deserve to be harmed by society.

Humph, but unfortunately, Ning Ruoyu is now just an unlucky guy who traveled through time with the same name!

What? You ask me how I know? Because I'm the unlucky one...

Who is the person who is suffering from this feeling of oppression and the contemptuous looks of others?

Is he an unusual boy who traveled from another world and has no interest in these campus idols, class beauties, group pets, and beautiful girls?

And his biggest interest is actually - to live his life over again, to avoid complicated interpersonal relationships, to enrich himself, and to live a different youth?!

"Understood. I will completely disappear from your world."

The boy who used to be a dog licker said this nonchalantly. However, he didn't realize that those girls who had aversion to him were about to come in droves!

Too many people hate me, so you'd better get in line at the back.

Prologue: I became a scapegoat for some simp

A long corridor, surrounded by a noisy crowd.

At that moment, I was stopped outside the classroom door, becoming the most dazzling protagonist in the center of the stage.

The "sisterhood" cheering the girl on was watching over her gently. At that moment, the girl mustered her courage and, with a mix of shyness and nervousness, walked up to me.

"that……"

She looked a little nervous.

"Please speak..."

As a newcomer, I swallowed hard, feeling somewhat uneasy in another way.

"For example, if possible..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she had lost her courage again.

"Don't be nervous, just speak slowly."

I gave her a friendly smile and encouraged her.

I've experienced this scenario far too many times, and while I feel no emotional turmoil, I'm also quite adept at handling it.

"That, that."

Short, fluffy hair, and large, watery eyes. The corners of her eyes droop slightly. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then this alone reveals the gentleness and innocence of her personality, doesn't it?

She's a cute high school girl, and her looks are probably top-notch even in her class. In fact, it's rare to find such an adorable high school student, even among people like us.

The fact that they seem easy to fool is a plus, but since they're wearing a school uniform, how much they can actually extract from them depends on the situation...

Oh, my apologies. I'm completely different from the person I used to be, you know? That's the only thing I need to be careful about.

Perhaps sensing that I was examining her like a product, the girl subconsciously took a step back, but was quickly supported by her "sisterhood" behind her.

"Don't be afraid! An Yu!" encouraged the girl with the ponytail who was closest to the girl.

"We're all in this together, be brave!"

"Ok!"

"Let's settle things with this guy!"

"Um!!"

Huh? While I understand your good intentions in wanting to encourage her, don't you think using "this guy" or "ending it" is a bit too harsh on me?

As I was thinking this, the girl finally took a deep breath and, in front of everyone, loudly expressed her emotions to me.

"Please stop following me after school!"

"And don't pester my friends to ask for my private information!!"

"The most important thing is not to take the initiative to save a seat for me in the cafeteria!!!"

The girl's courageous words pierced the sky, and her friends showed their approval with "You're amazing!" The onlookers around were also very satisfied, and their gazes toward me became even sharper and colder.

"That's all! Please keep us just classmates. Thank you!"

The girl's summary made my thoughts wander to the surroundings.

"It's Ning Ruoyu again? Why is he always acting like a jerk? It's unbearable. Can't we just expel him from school?"

"As soon as I entered the freshman group last semester, I showed off my photoshopped pictures to pretend I was rich. I added several girls on WeChat and harassed them every day by bragging. After I was exposed, I was completely exposed. It's hilarious."

"Ah, I feel so sorry for An Yu in their class. He doesn't dare to mess with the other girls, but An Yu is in the same class, and she has a good personality, so he's probably the one who gets bullied, right?"

"It's not so much bullying, it's just that the obsequiousness is disgusting...you know, a deadbeat simp."

Analyze calmly.

Think for a while.

I suddenly realized what was happening while being condemned by everyone.

Oh no, I've become the scapegoat! The scapegoat of some damn simp!!

……

Let me summarize the intelligence here.

The good news is that I, who dropped out of high school in another world to work, have now transmigrated into a high school student and am living the youthful life I once envied.

Judging from the reflection in the classroom window, I was wearing a pair of stiff, black-rimmed glasses, just like I usually look at home.

It came together completely, brain and all, even the beauty mark at the corner of its eye is the same. It arrived intact, without losing any parts or adding any, which is truly commendable.

The bad news is that, unlike normal time travel where you see an "unfamiliar ceiling," my time travel was so random it made me want to die.

At the very moment when a jerk and sycophant who looked just like me was being dealt with, I made my grand entrance and happily absorbed all the AOE damage from the opponent and my surroundings.

No, time travel needs to follow basic principles, right?

Which author writes a breakup story where the protagonist is staring at the letter of divorce in their hand as the other person walks away? The kind that doesn't even give the protagonist a chance to shout "Don't underestimate a young man's potential"?

Can we turn back time?

“An Yu has already told you that. Anyone with a shred of decency knows what to do, right?”

"I guess it's because I didn't show the disappointed look they expected." One of the girls in the group, with her hair in a ponytail, added to me with dissatisfaction.

Judging from the style and workmanship of her earrings and manicure, they were probably student-priced, but for her age, the overall look was quite good. She was likely the leader and the big sister figure in the small group.

Several blatant laughs drifted from nearby. She looked at me as if I were a cicada exposed to the scorching summer sun. I could vaguely see the cruelty in her eyes and a barely perceptible joy.

Oh no! This kid's XP is really terrible!

I really wanted to say something to salvage the situation and refute them, but no matter what I said, it all seemed weak and pathetic.

It might be reasonable to say that he is a time traveler who is just passing by, but his image will probably change from "shameless sycophant" to "a sycophant with a problem in his brain".

To be honest, it's hard to say which of these two images is better.

I held back a heartfelt sigh.

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for causing you and your friend so much trouble."

I gave a wry smile, feigning annoyance and embarrassment.

"Eh?"

The short-haired beauty and the ponytail girl next to her both looked bewildered and confused, and even the students watching around them quieted down a bit.

...Was I really a simp before? Just such a normal answer, and these guys showed such incredulous expressions.

To my brother, whom I have never met, I would like to respectfully address you as "Wolf Warrior".

"I will try my best to disappear from your world completely afterward, and I apologize again."

I bowed apologetically to them, not looking at their expressions, and quickly walked into the classroom with my head down.

The classroom was filled with classmates who had come to watch the commotion. They all made way for me when I entered. Thanks to them, I was able to find my seat immediately.

I sat down and covered my face with a book so that others wouldn't see my expression.

No, no, this won't do anymore.

It's so hard to hold back laughter.

Did you hear that? Those girls told me to keep my distance from them.

There are no performance evaluations or need to flatter or fawn over anyone. Because of my current identity (as a sycophant), I can enjoy a high school life where I can fully realize my youthful dreams without being forced to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships.

What kind of champagne should I open when I get home tonight?

Thinking this, I quickly shook my head. Ah, I've accidentally brought my bad habits from the workplace here; I must be more careful in the future.

After all, I am Ning Ruoyu, a high school student right now.

—No longer the top gigolo and conman in that gray alley.

[Next chapter preview: Dealing with women is really troublesome.]

"My God, that's exactly how I played!"

"Ah, ah, stop it! The neighbors will feel it..."

"Silly Dog, look at what they're doing!"

"Who is that? I'm sorry, you might have mistaken me for someone else. I graduated from high school a long time ago."

Chapter 1: The Inferior Me

"Senior! Congratulations on being the top performer again this month!"

"Xiao Ning, you're really amazing! You accounted for a quarter of the sales volume all by yourself, and that's without even eating meat. Next time, why don't you teach those useless guys how to work?"

"Are more and more people asking for Ning Ge's name lately? Our shop is going to be a huge success, boss! Our dream of becoming a legend in flower arrangement on this street is just around the corner!"

I'm getting a little tired of these sycophantic monthly summaries.

I smiled and politely declined my colleagues' and boss's invitations to "relax" after get off work, as usual.

"That's true. Someone of Ning's caliber wouldn't spend money on women after get off work."

"Women who want to spend money on Xiaoning are so numerous that they need to make an appointment in advance to come to our store. If Xiaoning comes with us, it feels like she's doing charity work."

"Don't flatter me too much. My friend is having some trouble and needs help. Next time, next time we'll definitely celebrate together."

Although there won't be a next time.

"Haha, senior, how many times have you said 'next time'? But anyway, you're almost an adult, so don't even think about skipping the coming-of-age party on your birthday night."

The blond young man, who was clearly older than me but kept calling himself a junior because he entered the industry later, winked at me.

I could somewhat understand what he meant by "carnival," so I forced a smile and, amidst the cheers and jeers of the crowd, went out the back door and walked into that inconspicuous alley.

Although it's an excuse I've used countless times, I didn't lie this time. I did arrange to meet someone after work, and she should be here by now.

After confirming the other party's specific situation and relevant information once again, I couldn't help but sigh.
