After Being Forced Into a Facial Paralysis, the Villain Said I’m Such a Drama Queen - Chapter 14

Lu Wanxing had always maintained a composed image in front of the old lady. Thinking that she might be teased for a long time afterward, she beckoned to Sheng Xia: “Come here.”

If it were before, Sheng Xia would likely have run away extremely fast. But because of her previous speech, Sheng “Fake Icicle” Xia felt as if Lu Wanxing was wearing a princess dress with pink bubbles popping over her head.

Even though Lu Wanxing was wearing a chiffon shirt and looked gentle and mature.

Sheng Xia leaned over, and then her cheek was pinched by Lu Wanxing. “That doll was bought for you; it suits you very well.”

There was a faint smile on Lu Wanxing’s face, but Sheng Xia felt like her face was being twisted out of shape. Tears welled up in her eyes, and through the blur, she felt that Lu Wanxing’s eyes were very beautiful.

At that moment, Lu Wanxing suddenly thought she heard Sheng Xia’s voice. She subconsciously let go and then pinched again, but she couldn’t hear anything anymore.

However, Lu Wanxing was stunned by the red mark left behind.

Why is it so red? She clearly hadn’t used much force.

Then, in the next second, Sheng Xia’s face turned completely red. She stood up, said goodbye to the old lady, turned around, and ran away.

Lu Wanxing didn’t expect her to have such a big reaction. Looking at the two dolls, she was about to ask the old lady to put them away, only to find a small note tucked into the hand of one of the dolls.

Upon opening it, it read: A little surprise for you, I hope the little baby likes it~

It was completely the tone of someone coaxing a child. Lu Wanxing laughed and shook her head, but she didn’t just throw the items aside.

[In the Live Stream Room] Viewer: “Streamer, why are you running so fast?”

The people in the live stream were a bit confused. Although the female lead was beautiful, it shouldn’t have been to this extent.

Sheng Xia didn’t answer. She fanned herself vigorously with her hand because, for some reason, an image had suddenly appeared in her mind: Lu Wanxing looking at her with watery, gentle, and affectionate eyes, the corners of her eyes slightly red and moist.

So… so suggestive.

“Ahhh, why is it like this!” At night, when Sheng Xia was lying in bed, she couldn’t sleep at all. She felt like a dead memory was attacking her again.

She couldn’t forget Lu Wanxing’s gaze, and her face was still burning.

The live stream could be turned off at bedtime, so no one saw Sheng Xia tossing and turning in this conflicted state.

Help, why am I thinking about Lu Wanxing like that? It’s so crazy!

Clearly… clearly, she was looking at me so seriously and even a bit fiercely back then!

Sheng Xia didn’t sleep all night. The next day, when she went to work, she looked like her essence had been sucked dry.

This state was noticed by Su Tong, who was watching from the shadows, making him even more certain of his thoughts.

Regarding Sheng Xia’s resistance, Su Tong had thought about it for a long, long time. Finally, he concluded that she had another man behind his back. Only this reason could explain why Sheng Xia’s change was so drastic.

This hypothesis made Su Tong feel disgusted. He felt he had sacrificed so much for Sheng Xia, and not only was she ungrateful, but she also dared to betray him.

[Group Chat Messages] %%%: “Too disgusting. As expected, all women are like this, [Expletive]!” %%%: “Simply no bottom line. It’s truly sickening, like a [Expletive]! Vomit!” %%%: “Brother Su! You must go teach her a lesson. It’s best if you take photos and post them, hehehe.”

The group burst into a frenzy upon seeing these words. The flattery made Su Tong’s eyes turn red with rage, and his previous hesitation was completely thrown to the wind.

Sheng Xia was just a girl and hadn’t practiced any self-defense. Dealing with her would be more than enough. Once he subdued her, given her conservative nature, she would definitely not dare to speak out.

Su Tong regained his confidence, believing that the current Sheng Xia was essentially the same as before a girl with no strength to truss a chicken.

However, Su Tong was still a bit worried that something unexpected might happen if he used force. To be safe, he decided to find Da Hu and Er Wen to help.

Su Tong thought this would be foolproof.

Indeed, it was foolproof but only for Sheng Xia.

At that moment, Da Hu and Er Wen were squatting by the roadside, questioning their lives. Originally, they were thinking about how to repay Sheng Xia. When they saw the convenience store was receiving stock, they rushed over to help, only to be struck by another blow.

Most of the items on the truck were drinks and water, which weren’t light. Usually, a girl carrying two stacked crates inside would be considered good, but Sheng Xia took six crates of water in both hands and went straight in.

It was like the Heavenly King Li carrying his pagoda. Most importantly, she looked so calm and unbothered. If the door hadn’t been so small, they even wondered if she would have just ripped the floorboard off the truck and moved everything at once.

The two were stunned by this scene. By the time they snapped out of it, the items were already moved.

“This isn’t scientific!” Da Hu touched his biceps. He was sure he couldn’t do what Sheng Xia did, and that posture wasn’t even good for applying force.

Er Wen picked up a crate of water by the door and signaled Da Hu to pull it. They didn’t master the balance, and the item almost smashed Er Wen’s foot.

Their expressions were twisted in thought over this unbelievable scene, and they didn’t react much when Su Tong walked over.

After Su Tong explained his purpose, the two processed it for a moment, exchanged a look of mutual agreement, and then feigned reluctance.

“Ah, but isn’t this kind of bad?” Da Hu’s expression was somewhat forced, making Su Tong’s gaze a bit cynical.

Wait, when you guys were committing robbery before, did you think that was bad?

However, he then thought they might want to raise the price. His tone wasn’t great: “One thousand is already a lot for this. I just want you two to block the road.” As long as Sheng Xia drank the spiked water, it would be easy to take her home; the rest wouldn’t require them.

“This is indeed a small matter, but there are risks. Seeing as we are old customers, add another two hundred.” One thousand would go to Sheng Xia, and the two hundred would be split between him and Er Wen; it could last them a while.

Thinking of this, the two looked at Su Tong much more kindly. Such a fool was hard to come by.

Currently, prices weren’t high, and a monthly salary of nearly two thousand was considered decent. Spending so much at once made Su Tong hesitate slightly.

But the beast in his heart had awakened and would not sleep until its goal was met. Su Tong, now crazed by the flattery in the group, agreed after thinking it over.

After arranging the time and place, Su Tong gave them half the deposit first.

Once the money was in hand and they were sure Su Tong was far away, the two ran back to the convenience store like the wind.

In unison: “Boss!!!”

Da Hu: “That bastard Su Tong approached us again!” “He gave us one thousand two hundred. He wants us to corner you in an alley tonight. Looking at that lecherous face of his, he’s definitely up to no good.”

Er Wen wasn’t as agitated, but he nodded from the side to indicate Da Hu was telling the truth. He even took out the six hundred dollars.

[In the Live Stream Room] Viewer: “Holy crap! Where did this criminal come from? He’s actually hiring people to surround you.” Viewer: “Disgusting! You can guess what he’s planning for tonight.” Viewer: “Streamer! Beat him up for me! Preferably so bad his own parents won’t recognize him!”

“Thank you for telling me this news,” Sheng Xia patted the two on the shoulders.

“You’re welcome, Boss. This is what we should do.” Da Hu smiled a bit foolishly. “It’s just… shouldn’t Boss be angry knowing this?” If someone was secretly plotting against him like that, his fists would already be clenched.

“What is there to be angry about with such scum? Don’t worry, I have a way.”

“What way?” Er Wen couldn’t help but ask.

The ghosts in the live stream were also curious about how Sheng Xia would deal with Su Tong.

Then, amid everyone’s expectations, Sheng Xia took out her phone, struggled to start a mini-game, and asked, “Could I trouble you two to help watch the shop?”

Sheng Xia happened to want to play a game but had no one to watch the store. Now, weren’t these two just the perfect recruits?

After Su Tong returned the money to her, Sheng Xia went and bought a second-hand phone, only to find the game “Snake” on the phone was truly captivating.

Hearing this, Da Hu waved his hands repeatedly. “We don’t know how.”

After dropping out of school, they had been wandering outside. Many shopkeepers saw their large build and the dragon and tiger tattoos on their arms and didn’t want to hire them.

They once went to help someone carry bags, but because they didn’t understand social graces and didn’t pay “tribute,” they were framed for stealing. They ended up with a criminal record at the police station, and after that, they couldn’t even get manual labor jobs.

“It’s fine, just handle the register.” Sheng Xia heard the panic in Da Hu’s voice, put her phone aside, and taught them how to do it.

“This here is the price list. If you’re not sure how much something is, just check it. There aren’t many items in the store, and people usually buy these things; it’s easy to find.”

“Er Wen can be in charge of the register, and Da Hu can assist.” Sheng Xia could see that Er Wen was more meticulous, so it would be easier for him to start.

The two hadn’t even processed the fact that Sheng Xia was willing to let them help with the register. Hearing her call their names, Da Hu asked foolishly, “Boss, how do you know what my name is?”

“And you can even tell that he is Da Hu and I am Er Wen.” Even the usually steady Er Wen was a bit excited.

Usually, very few people could tell them apart; even their parents often got them wrong.

The first question was too silly, so Sheng Xia answered the second one directly: “Because you are one centimeter shorter than Da Hu.” But mostly, it was because Da Hu’s smile was too dim-witted, like a Husky; his aura was very distinctive.

Da Hu was almost moved to tears. Because so few people were ever kind to him, Sheng Xia’s normal response sounded like heavenly music.

They stood at the checkout counter like they were on guard duty, occasionally peering out the door with tension. Anyone who didn’t know would think they were on a special mission.

They looked a bit silly. Da Hu was already silly, and now they were both silly together.

Sheng Xia, who wanted to play her game, looked at this scene and sighed helplessly, but she didn’t go over. She opened her game instead.

It wasn’t that Sheng Xia wasn’t serious about studying, but she had missed too much of the foundation. Taking the college entrance exam next year was still a bit of a stretch. Especially after having the money to buy an “old man” phone, she became obsessed with games.

Now, everyone watching Sheng Xia felt like they were raising a child, and this child was a bit worrying.

Thinking that Sheng Xia had been tired from studying lately, everyone teased her, but no one really scolded her. Instead, they watched the Snake game on Sheng Xia’s phone with great tension.

[In the Live Stream Room] Viewer: “Left, left, left!” … Viewer: “Ah, what a pity! Almost made it to see what the next level looks like.” The snake moved faster and faster, but Sheng Xia’s phone was a bit laggy, and it crashed. Viewer: “Dammit, so annoying! Streamer, hurry up and get off work. Go give that PUA man a good beating!”

Thinking about it was annoying, Ptooey!

“Miss, we found it. Su Tong’s water was bought from ‘Ruffian Cai’ on the west side of the city.” A-Biao handed over the report. “And the things involved here aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface.”

Lu Wanxing finished reading the materials. After finding out that Su Tong had hired those two thugs, she asked, “What is Sheng Xia doing right now?”

A-Biao hesitated before saying, “It seems… she’s playing games?”

“That does fit her personality.” Lu Wanxing gave a light laugh, guessing that Sheng Xia must have a plan.

“Coordinate with her when the time comes and clean up the aftermath.” She closed the file, her tone turning cold and sharp. “Once she’s had enough fun, send Su Tong in for me.”

Pests should stay where they belong.
