Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

The moment Zhang Chunliang figured out all the key points, the game coins in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light and pierced into his forehead like a floating gold talisman.

He felt dizzy, the scene around him began to blur, and a cheerful song appeared faintly in his ears.

He could smell the fragrant smell of popcorn, which made his hungry stomach feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Get out of the way." Zhang Chunliang was hit hard by someone and staggered forward.

He rubbed his shoulders and raised his head - the scene in front of him was very familiar to him, it was the game city that he and Chen Yue had been to.

Suddenly, a sound of booing from a distance attracted his attention.

"Can you do it?" The boy with a duck voice bumped into the person next to him with a mocking tone.

A group of middle school students were gathered around a claw machine, watching a teenager grabbing dolls intently.

Another claw in the claw machine missed, and the teenagers burst into laughter again.

"Qu Anran, you are such a loser." A teenager wearing a baseball cap shook his head. "I really don't understand. If you are a loser, just admit that you are a loser. Why are you still arguing here?"

Zhang Chunliang walked into the crowd and saw Qu Anran - Qu Anran in junior high school.

He was not as tall as he appeared in the horror world, his shoulders were thin and tender, his hair was messy, and the back of his hands that were controlling the joystick were bruised. At this moment, he said nothing and held the doll stubbornly.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Zhang Chunliang saw the babies that Qu Anran was catching. They were a bunch of little wolf cubs with ferocious expressions.

"You're bragging again. No wonder those hooligans always bully you. There must be something hateful about pitiful people." A child shook his head and commented condescendingly, "Admit it, you stole the wolf doll from someone else. You don't have the ability to catch it."

"That's mine." Qu Anran finally spoke, his tone relatively calm, "I told you, the wolf cub is mine. He took it out of my bag."

"Then why can't you catch him now? We are all waiting for your 'great victory'!" Someone clapped sarcastically.

Zhang Chunliang stood aside, listening silently to the argument between several people - this was the time when Qu Anran had already started to suffer bullying. In addition to the thugs headed by Xu Datou who were constantly causing trouble for him, there was also a group of classmates who were like fence-sitters and had long been dissatisfied with him and began to add insult to injury.

Someone stole Qu Anran's claw machine doll and framed Qu Anran, saying that it was Qu Anran who stole it. In order to prove his innocence, Qu Anran came to the claw machine to catch the doll, but this time, he didn't catch the wolf doll even after grabbing a basket of game coins.

Qu Anran used up all his last game coins but still failed to catch the doll.

"Liar, liar, liar!" The teenagers were the most easily provoked cruel animals. They ignored the fact that this was a busy public place and surrounded Qu Anran, laughing loudly and making trouble.

Zhang Chunliang looked at the people around him and saw that some people were pointing at Qu Anran and looking at him strangely.

He did not step forward to stop it, but quietly stepped out of the crowd and walked to the front.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" The front desk staff gave him a polite smile.

"The machine over there is broken down, and someone asked me to come to you to repair it." Zhang Chunliang casually pointed to a far corner.

"Is that so?" The staff hurriedly picked up the tools and went to the place Zhang Chunliang pointed.

Zhang Chunliang watched him walk away, then walked into the staff lounge without changing his expression.

He quickly found a set of employee work clothes of the right size, put them on, put on a mask, and walked out.

There were so many people in the game city that no one noticed that in this small corner, someone had turned into a staff member.

Zhang Chunliang put down 200 yuan in cash at the front desk, picked up a basket of game coins, and walked towards the claw machine area.

Qu Anran was surrounded by a group of boys with an expressionless face, allowing them to push her body like she was kicking garbage.

He heard the shrill "liar" again and again in his ears, but he didn't respond at all.

"Excuse me." A clear and pleasant male voice interrupted the actions of several people.

A tall young man holding a basket of game coins looked at Qu Anran apologetically.

"I'm so sorry, sir. It's my fault... There was a problem with the machine today and I couldn't catch the doll. I forgot to unplug it."

The boys fell silent and looked at each other.

Qu Anran then raised his head and glanced at Zhang Chunliang. He pursed his lips slightly and did not speak.

Zhang Chunliang looked at him carefully. There were large bruises on his fair and handsome face, scratches on his neck, and many gray marks on his pants from being kicked by the group of boys. He looked pitiful and embarrassed.

"This is compensation. I hope you can forgive me." Zhang Chunliang handed a basket of coins to Qu Anran.

But Qu Anran didn't take it.

"You must be kidding—" a kid interrupted Zhang Chunliang rudely, "Are you someone he hired to help you? What do you mean the claw machine can't catch dolls? That's a lame excuse."

Zhang Chunliang lifted his mask and said in a gentle tone: "If you don't believe it, you can try this claw machine."

Of course, if he could really catch him, Zhang Chunliang had a hundred ways to make him return empty-handed.

Adolescents are the most vulnerable to stimulation. The group of teenagers who laughed at Qu Anran lined up one by one to grab the dolls from this machine, but no one succeeded.

"It's just bad luck today." A child muttered, and said to Qu Anran in anger, "What are you looking at? If you continue to gloat over other people's misfortunes, I will complain to Boss Xu and have him beat you up again!"

"Then why don't you do it yourself?" Zhang Chunliang asked politely, "Are you afraid that you might hit him too hard and kill him?"

He gave a gentle smile: "It's okay, guest, I can call an ambulance at any time, you can vent your anger about not being able to catch the doll on him."

Qu Anran finally couldn't help it. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Chunliang, saying in a gloomy tone, "Are you afraid that I will complain about your dereliction of duty, so you plan to silence me?"

Zhang Chunliang replied: "Of course not, I just want to see how powerful someone can be who can threaten others from a moral high ground."

The boy who had just spoken naturally understood that Zhang Chunliang was talking about him, and his face suddenly turned red and white.

"He is a thief! Our whole class knows it! So what if I scold him! If I can't catch him, can I not get rid of this evil for the people?" He pointed at Zhang Chunliang and cursed: "You are just a lousy worker, you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will find someone to beat you to death?"

"I'm so scared." Zhang Chunliang said sincerely, "I'll let you punch me three times. If you can't kill me after three punches, then I'll teach you how to wash your mouth clean."

The staff of the game city returned to the front desk with tools in his hand, looking confused. He looked at the two hundred yuan on the table and shook his head in confusion.

He followed the direction the man pointed to find the faulty game console, but there was nothing wrong with the device there.

And the person who alerted him to the malfunction also disappeared.

“Ahhhhh!!” a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the playground.

The staff rushed over and saw a tall young man in work clothes pinning a junior high school student to the ground and rubbing him. His mouth was covered in blood.

Zhang Chunliang put one knee on the boy's back, twisted his arms, and asked softly, "Is your mouth still dirty?"

"I'm going to kill you!!" The young man on the ground had never suffered such humiliation before. He cursed incoherently, "You're done - I know Boss Xu -!"

Zhang Chunliang lifted his arm and twisted it back fiercely, causing the young man to scream even more miserably: "It's broken, it's broken—"

"Is your mouth still dirty?" he asked slowly.

"It's not dirty anymore - it's not dirty anymore, woooooo..."

The group of young men surrounding them were already dumbfounded.

They were not really gangsters, they just had been jealous and resentful because Qu Anran was liked by many people.

Also, he had been bullied recently, so he came here to add insult to injury.

They knew in their hearts that a proud man like Qu Anran would never steal other people's things, but they had to find a legitimate reason to teach him a lesson.

Everyone likes to see the school hunk who was once high and mighty and full of glory being crushed into the mud. This gives them a sense of pleasure in being superior to others.

Seeing the most powerful one among them being easily subdued, several people looked at each other in panic and ran away.

"Which class are you from? How could you hurt a customer?" the staff member shouted with a pale face.

If a guest gets injured here, he will be responsible.

Zhang Chunliang stood up and said righteously: "I just can't stand these guys bullying kids! It doesn't matter if you don't attend this class. I resign. This matter has nothing to do with the game city. If you have the guts, come find me!"

Zhang Chunliang took off his uniform in a cool manner and threw it into the arms of the staff.

He turned around and ran out of the game city.

He turned left and right, found a secluded place, and took off his mask.

"Who are you?" A little tail had been following him for some reason. When he stopped, he suddenly asked him.

Zhang Chunliang was startled and turned his head away in horror.

Qu Anran stood behind him, holding a basket of game coins in his arms.

"Why do you want to help me?"

Zhang Chunliang wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Qu Anran, and asked, "How long has it been like this?"

"What? Are you asking me how long it's been since I caught a doll? Honestly, I was able to catch one before, but today, it was like I saw a ghost. I couldn't catch one at all." Qu Anran concluded, "It's all your fault. I'm going to file a complaint against you."

"Don't play dumb." Zhang Chunliang flicked his head. "How long have these people been bullying you?"

"I can't remember clearly. Does it matter?" Qu Anran rubbed the bump on his head and said indifferently, "It will pass if I just bear with it."

"I can't cause trouble." He said seriously, "I have some problems at home, and I can't cause them any more trouble."

Zhang Chunliang looked at Qu Anran in front of him and suddenly felt very strange. He was frighteningly sensible, even a little pitiful. He shouldn't be like this.

He should be high-spirited and sarcastic, sneering and looking down upon all unfair things and unfair people.

Instead of being indifferent and calm like it is now.

Zhang Chunliang didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Qu Anran thought he had something to confess and looked at him patiently.

The two of them stood there staring at each other for a long time, and no one spoke.

Somehow this scene tickled Qu Anran's funny bone. He looked at Zhang Chunliang and suddenly smiled, revealing a row of neat little white teeth.

"No matter who you are, you did help me today." Qu Anran seemed to be in a better mood. "Would you like to eat? I'll treat you. It can't be too expensive... I have no money!"

Zhang Chunliang was about to agree when he suddenly felt a burning pain between his eyebrows. He could not help but cover his forehead and squatted down in pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Qu Anran asked, "Did that guy just now hurt you internally?"

Zhang Chunliang shook his head, feeling a force pulling on his nerves and dragging him towards a certain place.

So he stood up involuntarily and staggered forward.

Qu Anran held the game coins and followed him puzzledly.

The strange force dragged Zhang Chunliang and pulled him back to the game city.

"I understand. After committing a crime, the murderer always wants to return to the crime scene to admire his work." Qu Anran dissuaded him in a low voice, "But I think it's better for us to keep a low profile at this time."

Zhang Chunliang ignored him. Since entering the game city, the pain in his forehead had disappeared.

The atmosphere in the game hall was a bit strange at the moment. A group of people gathered around the claw machine without saying a word. The atmosphere was extremely weird.

"Go on." A calm male voice came from the crowd.

Qu Anran's eyes widened suddenly: "...My...old man is here?"

The owner of that voice was Qu Haiyu!

Zhang Chunliang and Qu Anran squeezed into the crowd curiously.

Qu Haiyu was seen sitting on a stool, looking coldly at the people in front of the claw machine.

"That man is the one who stole my things." Qu Anran said suddenly, "He said he caught the doll himself."

The boy in front of the claw machine looked at his parents with embarrassment. He had been trying for a while but hadn't caught a single doll.

Qu Haiyu heard some rumors that his son had stolen something at school. Without saying a word, he found the person involved and threatened to take responsibility for his son.

"Didn't you say my son stole your doll? Then I'll take you to catch another one." Qu Haiyu said politely, "It's okay, I have money, just go ahead and catch him."

"Mr. Qu, let's both give in a little." The boy's father said with a fake smile, "The children are just fighting, we adults shouldn't get involved, just assume that your child has never stolen this thing--"

"What do you mean by 'just assume'? If it's stolen, it's stolen. If it's not stolen, it's not stolen." Qu Haiyu asked, "Does my son Qu Haiyu look like a coward who dares to do something but not to take responsibility for it?"

His words shocked the people on the opposite side so much that they couldn't react for a long time.

"Your father is quite handsome." Zhang Chunliang commented in a low voice.

"What's so cool about that... our family is bankrupt... the game coins he spent are enough for our family's living expenses for half a month." Qu Anran secretly complained, "My mom will beat him to death."
