What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You - Chapter 51

After catching the fish, He Yunxiao stepped on the ground with his soaked boots, bent his knees, and lowered Nanzhu’s wife steadily.

“This is not allowed in the future.”

Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao and said.

He Yunxiao was bewildered, what was wrong with this Nanzhu wife again?

He asked, “You, what’s the matter again?”

Meng Qingrou did not answer, but said, “First, find some firewood and dry your shoes. After that, let’s talk about it, okay?”

“Mm.”

He Yunxiao agreed, and then the two of them held hands and found quite a few discarded branches to make a firewood fire at the lake.

He Yunxiao did not have a fire torch with him, and Meng Qingrou did not have one either.

At this point, He Yunxiao performed the drill for fire. Thanks to his internal strength, his body was strengthened and he could also use his internal strength to heat the branches first, so the process of making fire went smoothly.

Once the fire was ready, He Yunxiao threaded the fish he had caught onto the branches and placed them on the fire to roast them carefully.

At the same time, he also put his wet shoes next to the fire to dry together.

The two of them sat by the fire by the lake, watching the flames leap merrily between the burning red branches.

It was only at this point that Meng Qingrou spoke out and said, “Young Master, Nanzhu still doesn’t know your name.”

Intent on not revealing his identity, He Yunxiao said, “My name is Xiao Yun, a native of Jiangnan.”

Meng Qingrou’s left hand was still being held by He Yunxiao, and the wound, unexpectedly, was not as painful, but rather the touch of being held by a large hand was a little stronger.

She rested her chin on her knee, looked at the fire, and said softly, “Sir Xiao, let’s not do this in the future.”

He Yunxiao laughed, “What not?”

“Just don’t do anything other than heal your wounds.”

He Yunxiao pretended to be confused and said, “Why? Isn’t grilling fish quite good?”

“Young Master Xiao, I am the eldest princess of Qi and still have a husband. Although you saved me and I am grateful to you, some of your manners are too …… intimate. Men and women are different, Young Master Xiao, it is best that we stop getting so close.”

Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao, who was not speaking, and apologized to him again, “I’m sorry Young Master Xiao, Nanzhu’s tone was not nice, but we really can’t be like that.”

He Yunxiao laughed, “You like that He Yunxiao a lot, don’t you?”

Meng Qingrou shook her head.

“I don’t like him.”

“Don’t like?”

“Mm.” She continued, “Before my sister told me, I didn’t even know there was this man. So, I don’t know him at all, and I can’t say whether I like him or not.”

He Yunxiao laughed, “Then why do you mention him at every turn?”

Meng Qingrou said rightly, “He is my husband.”

“What husband? You don’t even know him.”

Meng Qingrou looked at He Yunxiao with beautiful, clear eyes, “Young Master Xiao, it has nothing to do with whether I know him or not. My sister has promised me to him, so he is my husband. I should think of him in every way.”

He Yunxiao said, “You obviously don’t like him, so why do you want him to be your husband?”

“Sister said so.”

“Meng Qingqian?”

Meng Qingrou looked around and said, “Young Master Xiao, don’t call my sister by her name, if someone else finds out, your head will be on the line.”

He Yunxiao laughed, “Aren’t you ‘someone else’?”

Meng Qingrou realized what He Yunxiao meant and said with a red face, “Young Master saved me, of course I can’t go to my sister to complain.”

He Yunxiao said, “You see, wouldn’t you disobey your sister?”

Meng Qingrou froze for a moment, remembering how she had disobeyed her sister and forced Xing’er down for protection, so she gently lowered her head.

He Yunxiao moved his hips and sat a little closer to Nanzhu’s wife.

“Nanzhu, if you were to choose for yourself, me or He Yunxiao, who would you choose?”

“I heard from my sister that Young Master He has a very bad character, he is a drunkard and a womanizer, he bullies men and women and does nothing wrong. It seems that the reputation is very bad.”

He Yunxiao was speechless for a while in his heart.

I can only say that, as expected of me, this proper villain’s reputation has never been good.

However, listening to Nanzhu’s wife, it seemed that she was leaning towards choosing Xiao.

He Yunxiao said, “Then you mean, you are choosing me?”

“No.” Meng Qingrou beamed, “As the saying goes, you know a person’s face but not his heart. Nanzhu has to see for herself how Young Master He’s character really is. Hearsay is not valid.”

He Yunxiao secretly applauded Nanzhu’s wife in his heart.

Nanzhu’s wife’s outlook on things was simply too righteous.

She is worthy of being my half-wife.

Why is it “half”?

Because I have agreed to this marriage, but she has not yet agreed to it, so she is “half”.

In the end, she can only choose between “He Yunxiao” and “Xiao Yun”.

He Yunxiao is not worried about losing his wife.

It’s a matter of choice.

It’s just a difference between sleeping on the left hand side or the right hand side at night.

He Yunxiao sat a little closer and said, “Nanzhu, you choose me.”

Meng Qingrou smiled, and a slight blush appeared on her face.

He Yunxiao continued to compel, “You say, did you promise your sister that you would marry He Yunxiao?”

Meng Qingrou said, “Sister said for me to hold off and see in a few days.”

He Yunxiao said, “Then it’s not over. Although your sister wants you to marry, you haven’t agreed, and the dowry for the He family’s marriage hasn’t been placed, so this marriage can’t be done at all.”

“But ……” Meng Qingrou hesitated, “Sister said that it’s a matter of military power. If I don’t marry He Yunxiao, then, that would be dangerous ……”

He Yunxiao smiled, “Don’t worry about the military power, I’ll think of a way.”

He Yunxiao didn’t want Nanzhu’s wife’s feelings for him to be swayed by these strange things. He only wanted someone, who really liked him and treated him well. Not someone who was false and pretentious to herself for something else.

He Yunxiao sat a little closer.

The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, holding hands. This time, Meng Qingrou did not say, “Don’t do that again.

He Yunxiao continued to seduce, “Nanzhu, choose me. How about it? From now on, I will bake fish for you every day.”

Meng Qingrou’s face flushed red as she lowered her head and whispered, “I, I’ll think about it.”

Usually when a girl like Nanzhu said “think about it”, she had already made up her mind.

He Yunxiao saw that the situation was already settled, so he could not continue to talk about this topic.

So he laughed and said, “Oh, the fish is ready, I’ll bring it to you.”

He Yunxiao reached out, took the fish over, and handed it to Meng Qingrou, not forgetting to admonish her, “Blow on it first, be careful of the heat.”

[Meng Qingrou’s favorability level changed from 60 to 65]

“Mhm.”

Meng Qingrou replied in a low voice, then blew on the grilled fish with her beak and ate it in small bites.

It was as if she was afraid of eating fast and finishing the fish early.

As she ate like this, He Yunxiao watched.

In fact, by this time, the blood exchange had long since been completed. A fine blood scab had formed on both of their wounds, and in a short while, this blood scab would fall off. In a short while, the scabs would fall off and reveal new skin.

Even though the blood exchange had been completed, there was no need to hold hands anymore. But no one spoke. No one said anything about it, leaving the two hands, one large and one small, clasped tightly, fingers interlocked.

“Nanzhu, is the fish good?” He Yunxiao asked gently.

Meng Qingrou lifted her face, her gaze soft, looked at He Yunxiao, and said, “Delicious.”

He Yunxiao noticed a small piece of fish dabbed at the corner of her mouth, so he got up, moved closer, moved closer again, and finally opened his mouth, and with a gentle kiss-like movement, ate the fish around her mouth into his mouth.

Then, with a smile, he said, “You’re delicious too.”
