Chapter 141 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

He Yunxiao stared at the continuously refreshing information prompts from the system, left speechless in astonishment. He was aware of Ziruo's significantly high affection towards him, much higher than 80, yet he hadn't expected her affection to reach such an extent. No wonder he could easily provoke her emotions. The hidden affection had already exceeded 100... He had never thought affection levels could surpass 100... Could surpassing 100 also reward items...? He realized he had underestimated this affection system. Although he was curious about the newly acquired skill "Symbiosis of Fortune and Misfortune" and the appearance of the "Yan State Border Map," He Yunxiao didn’t want to investigate those things at this moment. Right now, the most important thing after confessing was, of course, Ziruo. After He Yunxiao helped Fan Ziruo up, she first released his hand to stand firmly on her own, then was amazed by the beautiful sunset. Before she could fully grasp the sunset’s beauty, He Yunxiao's sudden confession completely breached her psychological defenses. She ultimately chose to follow her heart and readily accepted He Yunxiao. After accepting, Fan Ziruo didn't display any special actions or expressions; she merely shortened the distance she had with He Yunxiao. She stood close to him, even if it was a bit crowded, without feeling anything inappropriate between them. Without embracing, but it felt as intimate as an embrace. Looking at the lovely lady standing close to him, half a head shorter than himself, He Yunxiao thought of her former expressionless and indifferent demeanor. Observing her current affectionate and gentle appearance, he was filled with countless emotions. Initially, his feelings for Du Meimei were indeed an afterthought, conquered first, and then gradually developed genuine feelings as he observed her love for him. On the other hand, his feelings with Ziruo were cultivated step by step. The days spent together in the study had solidified a strong foundation for their current relationship. In addition, He Yunxiao understood Fan Ziruo very well. To be honest, He Yunxiao felt that it was within reason for Fan Ziruo's affection to exceed 100. He was quite familiar with Fan Ziruo's personality. She was "not easily emotional." She wouldn't have any extra emotions towards others, much less "love" towards men. But once she set her heart on someone, she would wholeheartedly love them. If the Soul-Devouring Pill erupted, and he truly perished, He Yunxiao's biggest concern was Fan Ziruo. With the other girls, no matter how distressed or heartbroken, they would either endure or follow his instructions before departing. But Fan Ziruo wouldn't listen to his words. He Yunxiao had no doubt that Fan Ziruo would sacrifice herself for him. She would use her life to nourish her love. This type of devoted romanticist could actually accomplish such a thing and do so without hesitation. He Yunxiao used to think only about himself, but now he understood. Living in this world, after becoming entangled, one's life no longer solely belongs to oneself. It also belongs to everyone who loves you. For the sake of those who love you, live well. Originally a joyous and cheerful proposal, He Yunxiao's "enlightenment" had unexpectedly subdued the atmosphere. Seeing He Yunxiao gradually becoming despondent, Fan Ziruo's heart also tightened. The slight sadness He Yunxiao felt was multiplied several times over on her end. "Master, if there's anything on your mind, you can talk to Ziruo," Fan Ziruo said, feeling both saddened and concerned. He Yunxiao looked at Fan Ziruo's saddened and worried expression and genuinely smiled. Only someone who loves you would be willing to worry about you and exhaust themselves with concern. "Ziruo, I was just thinking that if I were to die, you would definitely follow me. So even if not for my own sake, I have to live well for your sake." Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao's cheerful expression and her mood also brightened. "Master is starting to act like a sheltered young lady, always thinking about life and death matters." He Yunxiao chuckled, "Ziruo agreed to marry me. If I don't want five children, I can't bear to die." "Before, Master said he didn't want five." "I've changed my mind now." "Master is a man; men can't go back on their word." "Why can't men go back on their word?" "There's no specific reason. They just can't." He Yunxiao suddenly said, "Ziruo, can I hold your hand?" Fan Ziruo replied seriously, "Men and women should not get too close. Although I've promised Master, we're not married yet, and our marital customs and relationship aren’t established. Therefore, Master can't hold my hand." Then, turning her head, she pouted and said, "No one's here right now, so if Master wants to, he can hold my hand for a while. Ziruo will pretend not to notice." He Yunxiao laughed. "The lady indeed knows perfectly how to feign ignorance." Fan Ziruo hummed, "In that case, no more." While shouting "Don't" he reached out and effortlessly took Fan Ziruo's hand. He didn't make any unnecessary movements, just held it. He Yunxiao knew that Fan Ziruo was the most insightful, so he asked, "Ziruo, do you know what I want to say by holding your hand?" Fan Ziruo replied, "Master definitely wants to say, 'I regret it, I don't want to marry you anymore.' Then, afraid that Ziruo will jump down and commit suicide, Master decided to hold Ziruo's hand first." He Yunxiao was surprised, "The lady is quite clever. Would the lady really jump?" Fan Ziruo smiled, "If Master wants to know, let go and try." He Yunxiao glanced at Fan Ziruo and tried it, letting go of her hand. The next moment, Fan Ziruo indeed took a step back and tilted from the rafters. He Yunxiao was so frightened that he instantly unleashed his exceptional lightness skill. He caught Fan Ziruo's hand as she fell and pulled her back with force. After pulling her back, fearing she might do something foolish again, he hugged her waist and back with both hands, holding her tightly as if to meld her into his own body. "Fan Ziruo! You're not allowed to do anything stupid!" Fan Ziruo struggled to catch her breath in He Yunxiao's embrace and said softly, "When Ziruo agreed to Master, she already gave her heart to him. If Master doesn't want Ziruo, she will become lost, soulless, without care or attachment, only to die." He Yunxiao gradually loosened his embrace and said softly, "Ziruo is so dear to me, how could I bear to part with you? Don't die. Even if you really want to die, promise me that you'll kill me first before doing so." Fan Ziruo smiled, "As long as Master doesn't have an affair, Ziruo can't bear to kill Master." He Yunxiao coughed. Inwardly, He Yunxiao sighed, is the so-called "Yandere" like Chu Xiaoxiao? Why do I feel like Fan Ziruo is the true "Yandere"? Seeing He Yunxiao distressed, Fan Ziruo asked, "Master, what's wrong?" He Yunxiao forced a smile, "I'm fine, I'm really fine, no need to worry about me." Tl: Soothsayer.io
