Why does someone become a villain?
Are people born wanting to be enemies with the whole world?
No, Su Muwan must have gone through too much, which is why she became arrogant and spoiled.
Others might not understand, but Qin Luo does.
Beneath Su Muwan's arrogant exterior lies a very lovable heart.
She enjoys reading romance novels, and in private, she shows playful and cute expressions.
When she eats delicious food, her little feet swing happily.
If it weren't for the future betrayals, false accusations, distrust, and lack of recognition...
Perhaps... she would never have become the great villain, and moreover...
Who decided that Su Muwan is the villain while Xiao Tian and his group are the good guys?
It's just... a difference in perspective.
Perhaps it was the warmth of Qin Luo's palm that had an effect.
Su Muwan opened her eyes in confusion.
"Young Miss, you're awake?"
Qin Luo smiled gently at Su Muwan as she opened her sleepy eyes.
Su Muwan blinked, and upon seeing Qin Luo before her,
A surge of joy welled up in her eyes, her lips curving upward as she exclaimed excitedly, "Qin Luo! You're finally back!"
"Yes, and I brought your favorite barbecue."
"Barbecue?"
"Indeed, I thought Young Miss might be hungry, shall we eat?"
"Yes!"
Moments later.
The familiar trio sat gathered in the living room.
Zhu Lan looked puzzled at Qin Luo, who had returned at some unknown time.
Huh?
Hadn't she been maintaining her post the whole time? When did Qin Luo return?
Could it be... Zhu Lan's eyes widened in shock!
Had Qin Luo become even stronger!?
"Munch munch munch, Qin Luo, how did you know I was hungry?"
Su Muwan grabbed a small sausage skewer and happily took a sip of the ice-cold cola that Qin Luo had just taken from the fridge.
Ah, I actually didn't want to eat late-night snacks, since it would make me gain weight.
But....
Qin Luo sat beside Su Muwan, taking a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"Mmm..."
But this feels too good, so I'll just enjoy it!
After wiping her mouth, Qin Luo smiled and answered, "After all, I'm Young Miss's most beloved attendant. I can tell what you're thinking just from the slightest frown."
Thump!
[Loyalty +10]
Hearing these words, Su Muwan's face reddened, and she snorted, "Hmph! For a mere Qin Luo, you sure know how to talk!"
"You were gone for so long and didn't even make one phone call!"
Su Muwan had waited and waited until she fell asleep, and then she dreamed of Qin Luo... Qin Luo...
She blinked and looked hesitantly at the smiling Qin Luo, asking, "Qin Luo, did I say anything in my sleep?"
"Of course you did."
"What was it?"
"You held my hand and cried, begging me not to leave."
"You! I would never say such things!"
Su Muwan glared at Qin Luo in embarrassment.
Even if I were to die, die outside, jump from the building, I would never cry and say such things!
What kind of person do you think I am?!
But!
Su Muwan tossed away the skewer stick, her eyes flickering as she bit her lip slightly, then casually asked, "Then... will you leave?"
"Yes."
"You! Where are you going?"
"Into Young Miss's heart, of course."
"......"
"....... Qin Luo, could you please read fewer cheesy pickup line collections."
"Oh...."
(⊙o⊙）
(⊙o⊙）
After their exchange, they both instinctively grabbed another skewer.
Then.....
One second, two seconds, three seconds........ Gasp!!
Qin Luo turned his head with wide eyes.
He frantically questioned himself.
Oh no, oh no! How did I suddenly say such an ambiguous thing??
Was it because Su Muwan looked so cute begging him not to leave?
Did he unconsciously get enchanted and say such things?
Most importantly, would Su Muwan get angry and punch him a few times for teasing her?
But! Her reaction wasn't that strong! Could it be that we've reached the kind of relationship where we can say such things?
Hmm? That doesn't sound bad, no wait......
Gulp!
Qin Luo swallowed.
His mouth... he'd need to be more careful next time.
But.... seeing such a cute Young Miss begging him not to leave! He couldn't help but say such things!
Is it a crime to speak from the heart?!
However... things weren't quite as Qin Luo imagined.
Gasp!!
Oh no, oh no! Qin Luo, you idiot, why did you suddenly say such things!
Su Muwan's pupils shook, her cheeks flushed red. What did Qin Luo mean?
Does it mean he likes me?
Then... what was my response just now, was it a rejection?
No... not necessarily. In romance novels, when someone likes someone, there are always various signs!
However!
The evidence that Qin Luo likes me.... she couldn't find any!
Su Muwan, don't think too much! This is just Qin Luo showing his devotion!
So!
Both took a deep breath.
They turned to look at each other again, and smiled: "Hehe."
I hope she stops dwelling on that cheesy pickup line.
What did he mean by that cheesy pickup line?
Zhu Lan ate a chive skewer, watching in confusion.
What's suddenly going on with Young Miss and Qin Luo?
What does it mean to walk into someone's heart? How do you walk into a heart? What are cheesy pickup lines?
Zhu Lan, who had spent her childhood in training grounds, wondered if this was the current trend.
Time passed.
The evening drama playing on TV acted like hypnotic waves.
"Yawn~"
"Young Miss, I can't go on, I'm... dozzing off..."
Zhu Lan fell asleep immediately.
Su Muwan couldn't hold on either. She yawned and looked at Qin Luo with sleepy eyes: "Qin Luo, what time is it?"
"It's two o'clock, Young Miss. You've been staying up late watching dramas lately, which isn't good for your skin. Especially these shows about villain's followers, why do they always update at night? What kind of ghostly schedule is this?"
"Hmph... mere Qin Luo.... you.... zzzzzz....."
Su Muwan dozed off mid-sentence on the sofa.
Seeing this, Qin Luo chuckled and stood up, glancing at Zhu Lan sleeping on the floor.
Then he looked away and carried Su Muwan, stepping over her.
Who's that on the floor? Don't know them.
....
...
Upstairs, in Su Muwan's bedroom.
Qin Luo finally settled Su Muwan down.
He rubbed his shoulders and took a breath: "Tsk, Young Miss held on too tight."
"But..."
Qin Luo looked at the sleeping Su Muwan and blinked.
He covered his chest and took another deep breath.
He... seemed to have really fallen for Su Muwan.
Tsk, what to do about it, confess?
But aren't great villains supposed to focus on their careers? According to the system's little card, Su Muwan had never been in love.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo stepped forward to cover her with a blanket and said softly, "Good night, Young Miss."
He'd find a chance to test Su Muwan's feelings later.
With that, he turned to leave.
However.... what he didn't know was.
After Qin Luo turned off the lights and left.
Su Muwan, who had appeared to be sleeping, slowly opened her eyes with a red face.
Her eyes sparkled in the dark room.
"Qin Luo..."
Su Muwan's cheeks flushed slightly red.
She clutched the blanket tightly, inhaling the scent where Qin Luo had touched it.
I think.... I've really fallen for Qin Luo..
Not that strange possessiveness... but.... the kind of love from romance novels......
But someone like Qin Luo... probably only wants to focus on his career, right?
However.....
Just thinking about Qin Luo rejecting her made Su Muwan feel terrible all over.
So.....
Su Muwan buried her head in the blanket.
If the day comes when I confess, Qin Luo, you'll have to accept whether you want to or not!
After all, I am... Su Muwan.
....
....
....
Swoosh!
Su Muwan's little head popped out again.
Of-of-of course!! Qin Luo, it would be fine if you confessed first too!!
