Chapter 063 I am the Villain
Su Qiu nodded and muttered a curse under her breath:
"This is outrageous. So, Shen Yi not only can't do any harm to the male and female leads, but he also has to help them?"
She's completely become a tool to protect other people's relationships.
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be our turn to save Shen Yi, let alone save him so many times."
"Host, be careful, this is our only chance."
The cat suddenly changed the subject, leaning closer and speaking in a low, gossipy voice.
"But speaking of which, host, you were up to something all day yesterday, could the villain's small frame handle it?"
Su Qiu glanced at it and said dismissively:
"What are you afraid of? You won't die."
I was holding back, and besides, we agreed on three days last time, and nothing happened, right?
The cat shook its head, its tone tinged with sympathy:
"The minor villain is lucky to have survived all that trouble."
"It's not like a rag is that easy to die." Su Qiu flicked his cigarette ash, and the topic returned.
"By the way, if this mission is completed, will the equipment I'm wearing disappear?"
Little Xitian frowned, tilted his head, and asked in confusion:
"Equipment? What equipment?"
"What do you think?" Su Qiu flexed her wrists, her tone casual.
Little Western Heaven finally realized what was happening, flicked its tail, and rolled its eyes at Su Qiu:
"If you don't leave, and instead stay in this world, you will naturally not disappear."
But things might be different in other worlds.
Su Qiu nodded, twirling the cigarette between her fingers:
"Actually, it works quite well. I'm thinking of getting a lifetime one."
Little Xitian reached out and gently scratched her arm, his tone tinged with helplessness, but earnest as he said:
"Host, you're a girl, what do you need that thing for?"
"Shhh," Su Qiu uttered two words, concise and to the point.
Little Xitian couldn't help but roll his eyes, his furry face full of "incomprehension":
"Of all the hosts I've had, you're the most peculiar one."
Su Qiu chuckled softly and didn't reply.
Just gazing at the distant horizon, the smoke from my fingertips slowly dissipated in the wind.
……
Shen Yi stood there, his back against the cold wall, his mind buzzing.
Talking cats, main gods, plot manipulation, quests...
These unfamiliar words pieced together in his mind like a jigsaw puzzle, vaguely pointing to a world he had never encountered before.
It turns out that last night's loss of control wasn't an illusion.
It turns out that Su Qiu knew something all along.
It turns out she was hiding so many secrets...
The man's fingertips trembled slightly.
The conversation between Su Qiu and the strange cat pieced together and settled in her mind like fragments.
Gradually, a silhouette began to emerge that sent chills down his spine.
He probably understood.
I am the villain in a novel.
The female lead is Su Qian, the male lead is Lu Chen, and the meaning of his existence.
It seems that all this was done to pave the way for the two people's happy life, and that they had to be constantly sacrificed and tormented in their story.
Cleaning cloth settings...
These four words pierced my heart like needles.
He suddenly remembered that the first time, Su Qiu had said that he "would be with many people..."
At the time, he took it as a vicious curse, and felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Only now do I realize that perhaps that was my predetermined fate.
From the very beginning, his fate was so brutally defined that he had no room to struggle.
Su Qiu, and the talking cat, came to save him.
The word "salvation" carried a heavy weight, an indescribable warmth, yet it also brought tears to his eyes.
The phrase "not just this time" in the conversation struck me like a thunderbolt.
So, he had already tried many times in places he didn't know?
He looked down at his scarred wrists and suddenly felt that the pain had taken on a new meaning.
It turns out he wasn't alone in fighting this absurd fate.
Someone had seen through all of this long ago and came to pull him out of the mire time and time again.
Su Qiu...
He murmured the name, feeling a mix of bitterness and astringency, yet strangely, a surge of strength welled up within him.
If this is his destiny, if this is his ending.
This time, he didn't want to follow it anymore.
At the very least, he wanted to hold onto the person in front of him.
Seize the man who says he'll save him.
Shen Yi quietly took half a step back, not wanting to disturb the conversation on the balcony.
Just looking at Su Qiu's back, my panicked heart calmed down completely.
No matter who she is, no matter where she comes from.
As long as she's still here, that's enough.
Su Qiu had no idea that Shen Yi had overheard her conversation with Xiao Xitian.
Little Xitian never expected that Shen Yi would see him after he finally managed to accumulate enough energy to materialize.
……
Shen Yi almost staggered back to his room, then abruptly lay back down on the bed and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket.
My heart was pounding so hard in my chest, the "thump-thump" sound pounding against my eardrums, and I couldn't calm it down.
Although he forced himself to accept it all quickly.
But "novel world", "villain setting", "system", "salvation"...
The truth, pieced together from these words, is still too mysterious, like a bizarre and fantastical dream.
His eyes were closed, but a thought flashed uncontrollably through his mind:
The extraordinary power, and even the special things, that Su Qiu possessed.
Are they not innate, but rather bestowed upon us by something called "the system"?
Thinking of this, Shen Yi's cheeks inexplicably flushed, and his ears turned red.
He frowned in annoyance.
Why am I thinking about these things?
But then I thought, no matter where Su Qiu's power comes from.
Regardless of what kind of person she really is, one thing is certain:
She came to save herself.
His chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.
Shen Yi curled up in the blanket, the faint scent of Su Qiu still lingering around his nose.
One thought became increasingly clear in my mind:
He really didn't want to leave Su Qiu.
This realization gave him more certainty than those mysterious assumptions.
Once the turmoil in my heart subsided, the pain in my body surged up like a tide.
Shen Yi lay on the bed, feeling aches and pains in his back and eyes.
I cried so hard last night that it still hurts a little.
A feeling of grievance quietly welled up again, and the tip of my nose tingled slightly.
The door was gently pushed open, and Su Qiu walked in.
She spotted Shen Yi awake at a glance, and her reddened eyes welled up with tears.
She looks like she's about to cry again.
Shen Yi also saw her, his throat moved, and the voice that came out was hoarse yet soft:
"Su Qiu..."
"What are you doing?" Su Qiu strode over and stood by the bed.
Shen Yi didn't speak, but instead reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his cheek against hers, his voice thick with a nasal tone:
"My body hurts so much, can you rub it for me? Last night... I'm so sorry about last night."
I didn't hit you on purpose, it was like I was being controlled by something, I couldn't help it..."
As she spoke, tears welled up again, falling onto Su Qiu's clothes and leaving a small wet patch.
Su Qiu understood the reason and looked at his aggrieved yet dependent appearance.
The slight resentment in her heart had long since dissipated. She reached out and gently patted his back, comforting him:
"Don't cry, I forgive you."
Stay away from the Lu and Su families from now on; it's not safe.
She didn't mention being controlled.
If you say that, Shen Yi probably thinks she's crazy.
Shen Yi buried his face in her lower abdomen, and through the thin fabric, he could feel the firmness of her skin.
Those are rock hard; they're abs from working out.
He nuzzled against me, like a small animal seeking comfort, his voice muffled:
"Will you stay with me? I don't want you to leave."
