Chapter 144 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

After He Yunxiao pulled Fan Ziruo into the private room, he gently asked her, "Ziruo, are you scared?" Fan Ziruo chuckled softly, "A little bit. But more surprised than scared. I didn't expect the gentleman not only to be playful but also capable of such ferocity. I regret agreeing to the gentleman now." When Fan Ziruo said this, He Yunxiao wouldn't believe a single word. He pulled Fan Ziruo in front of him, bent down, and lightly patted her plump parts. Her flesh quivered, and the touch was quite pleasant. Younger sister Ziruo's body was indeed the complete opposite of her personality. The loose clothing couldn't hide her curves. He Yunxiao enjoyed it for a moment, then put on a serious face and said, "No more jokes like this in the future. Otherwise, there will be consequences according to the family rules." After reaching a high level of favorability with He Yunxiao and establishing a private relationship, Fan Ziruo's shy emotions had lessened. Different relationships led to different mindsets. When touched by He Yunxiao on sensitive spots, she didn't feel as embarrassed as Nan Zhu did. To her, her body was already considered his, even though the formalities had not been completed yet. Being overly intimate now would damage her reputation if seen by others, so it was best not to be seen. Fan Ziruo blushed slightly and, feeling indignant, said, "The gentleman is allowed to joke about 'don't want Ziruo,' but Ziruo is not allowed to joke with the gentleman?" "Smack." He Yunxiao lightly patted her again. "Madam still wants to defy the master?" "If the master doesn't rule fairly, is there anything I can't defy?" "Smack." "Say that again?" "If the master doesn't rule fairly, is there anything I can't defy?" He Yunxiao looked at Fan Ziruo, who had raised her head confidently with a slightly reddened face, and couldn't help but smile. Although every time younger sister Ziruo was touched, her whole body quivered, she didn't show any signs of yielding. After all, she was different from Nan Zhu. If it were Nan Zhu, she would have obediently listened by now and not continued to argue. In the end, He Yunxiao relented, saying, "Alright, madam is right, the master is wrong. I was wrong." Fan Ziruo smiled and said, "Hmm." "Madam, can you forgive me?" "I forgive you." After a round of flirtation, the two turned their attention back to the martial arts school opposite the restaurant. Some members of the Iron Eagle Gang also emerged from the school, but they were vastly outnumbered and completely suppressed by members of the Short Blade Gang. He Yunxiao saw them exchange a few words and then engage in intense argument. Due to the distance, the content of their argument couldn't be clearly discerned. However, words like "territory" and "ambush" could be faintly heard. He Yunxiao estimated that the emotions had reached a boiling point and said to Fan Ziruo, "Ziruo, do you believe that once their argument is finished, they will definitely start a fight? When they do, Chu Fan and Tie Weiqi will not move initially. Tie Weiqi is the tall man beside Chu Fan. If they stay out, the others will start first. After the fight, it will definitely be the Iron Eagle Gang's defeat, and then Tie Weiqi will act. Unfortunately, Tie Weiqi will narrowly lose. Finally, Chu Fan will make a move and defeat the Short Blade Gang in a single move." Fan Ziruo asked in surprise, "How does the gentleman know so clearly?" He Yunxiao thought to himself: How could I not know all of this? Isn't this how novels are written? First, the allies make a gesture, and then the antagonist's morale rises. The allies do their best but still lose. Then the antagonist's morale continues to rise. Finally, a powerful antagonist is built up, only to be instantly defeated by the protagonist, who then successfully shows off. Now the protagonist's wife is my wife, so no problem. Chu Fan, do as you please. He Yunxiao replied to Fan Ziruo, "I guessed." Fan Ziruo looked at He Yunxiao and, using her insight ability, said with a laugh, "The gentleman's tone is very certain, it seems not just a guess." He Yunxiao, looking at the smart Ziruo, helplessly said, "Let's watch the show, it's about to get started." As expected, the situation on the field unfolded just as He Yunxiao had predicted. After the argument, individuals from both sides stepped up to fight. The Iron Eagle Gang sent an unknown member, while the Short Blade Gang sent Fan Ziruo's student, Pang Ce. He Yunxiao saw Pang Ce stepping up and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. Pang Ce unexpectedly exhibited outstanding martial skills and defeated the Iron Eagle Gang's unnamed member in a few moves. He Yunxiao, observing from a distance, estimated that Pang Ce might possess eighth-grade strength. He was relieved that Pang Ce hadn't caused trouble for him back when he was lifting tables in the classroom. But now, as a ninth-grade holder, someone like Pang Ce was insignificant. On the battlefield, as He Yunxiao anticipated, it was Tie Weiqi who confronted Pang Ce. Even though Fan Ziruo knew in advance, she still looked at He Yunxiao in surprise. He Yunxiao squeezed Fan Ziruo's hand and said with a smile, "I was right, wasn't I?" Fan Ziruo remembered He Yunxiao's behavior when he was studying in the study, and said with suspicion, "Gentleman, didn't you anticipate my agreement with you early on? Did you use the pretext of learning to get close to the Fan Residence's study, not intending to study at all, only as an excuse to approach me?" He Yunxiao was trembling all over. She's too clever! She's too clever! She has deduced all of this! Unable to hide, He Yunxiao had to admit, "Ziruo, I told you a long time ago, I like you." He Yunxiao's words amounted to an indirect admission. But thanks to the solid favorability he had gained earlier, even this kind of "deliberate approach" explosion did not diminish their relationship. Fan Ziruo's favorability not only did not drop, but her attitude wasn't too stubborn. She just admonished, "The gentleman said himself he's fickle. I didn't believe it at first. I didn't expect I had misjudged. The gentleman truly is fickle." Unable to argue, He Yunxiao pretended ignorance and said, "Madam is truly intelligent!" Fan Ziruo snorted, gently tugged at her hand held by He Yunxiao. Given he showed no intentions of letting go, she gave up and let him continue holding her hand. He Yunxiao knew that Madam Ziruo's attitude was already quite clear - she could still tolerate it. Secretly grateful to his past self, he had learned from the explosive lesson with Nan Zhu. From then on, every increase in favorability was a solid step-by-step process, allowing him to still hold hands after such an explosive revelation! Resolutely implementing the passive strategy! Being the antagonist, he mustn't be too proactive, but instead be universally liked by the female lead! In front of the martial arts school, the renowned Iron Defender, Tie Weiqi, fought against the unknown Pang Ce, who wasn't even on the Qingyun list. They exchanged blows, neither giving ground. After a hundred exchanges, Tie Weiqi unexpectedly couldn't match up to Pang Ce and slowly retreated, clearly losing. At this point, He Yunxiao felt a sense of impending danger - something ominous was about to happen. As anticipated by He Yunxiao, Chu Fan stood up and took down Pang Ce with a single move. Yet Pang Ce stubbornly got up and continued to attack Chu Fan. As expected, Pang Ce was knocked down by Chu Fan with one move. Pang Ce then got up and... Fan Ziruo watched all this calmly, saying nothing. Perhaps her favorability towards Pang Ce wasn't enough to stir her emotions. However, He Yunxiao's inner unease turned into reality. As he expected, Fan Ziruo spoke up, "He Yunxiao, I want to go down and take a look." He Yunxiao sighed. He had sensed the outcome since Pang Ce appeared. Even if Pang Ce was just an innocent bystander, Fan Ziruo wouldn't turn a blind eye. That's how the female lead is - beautiful on the outside with beautiful ideals. If Fan Ziruo didn't act this way, she wouldn't be the female lead. Tl: Soothsayer.io
