The Villain Has A Yuri Halo [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 45: (End of World 2)

When two people are in love, they need to be on equal footing. Too much arrogance or too much insecurity will make love go bad. If you can’t change your personality, then use a fun little trick to change this unequal dynamic.

Li Ju’s idea wasn’t complicated. She just wanted to use her own method to deepen their relationship. The way the two of them interacted had given Li Ju a taste of love’s sweetness, so she didn’t mind playing the role of a cute cat for once.

Even though she wasn’t sure if A’Ci was a great military strategist, Li Ju was willing to take this step.

The black and white maid outfit was a fatal weapon on its own, but with the added cat ears and bell, Fang Yihan pathetically covered her mouth and nose, afraid she would make a fool of herself.

Her expression was pleasing to Li Ju. Li Ju grabbed the comfortable cat ears and ran her hand along the fluffy white cat tail. What was most devastating was that the tip of the tail was a playful pink.

Li Ju walked over to her and gracefully bent down. All Fang Yihan had to do was look up to get a glimpse of an even more beautiful sight.

“Are you happy with my outfit, Master?”

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll assume you approve.”

“Why are you so quiet, Master? Or do you need a kiss to get your speech back?”

Li Ju’s brilliant smile intoxicated Fang Yihan’s heart. All she could do was stare at her blankly.

Li Ju sighed with a look of pity, thinking Fang Yihan was such a coward. Did a simple outfit turn her into a fool?

Her fingertips cupped Fang Yihan’s cheeks. Li Ju rewarded her with a kiss on the lips. It seemed the position was a bit uncomfortable, so Li Ju simply sat on Fang Yihan’s lap.

The small stool was sturdy enough for their combined weight, but Fang Yihan still instinctively tightened her hold on Li Ju. This caring gesture made Li Ju bite Fang Yihan’s cheek happily. “Why don’t you praise me?” Li Ju said.

How could Fang Yihan be calm with a soft, warm beauty in her arms?

She didn’t want to praise Li Ju now, and she had no time to think of adjectives.

All she wanted to do was kiss Li Ju.

Fang Yihan held Li Ju tightly, wishing she could meld with her. Her slender fingers traced her back and waist.

In Li Ju’s gentle gaze, she kissed her, slowly deepening their embrace, not giving Li Ju any chance to leave.

She could occasionally hear the bell on Li Ju’s neck jingling. The sound was clear and not at all annoying. Instead, it gave Fang Yihan an inexplicable motivation.

She had just showered, and she smelled sweet all over. When Fang Yihan threw the cat ears and the bell collar on the floor, she realized there were even sweeter places.

The warm bedroom was filled with a blush-inducing atmosphere. The snowflakes outside the window were so embarrassed that they fluttered away, afraid of being caught peeping by the humans inside.

In the cold of this new year, Fang Yihan had found the most precious treasure in the world.

She thought she was lucky to have met this woman in the vast sea of people.

She was also thankful that all her past choices had been right. Maybe fate had already decided everything that she would be trapped by this woman for life.

Fang Yihan could feel that Li Ju’s actions were meant to please her. The fact that the proud Li Ju would treat her so carefully was incredibly touching.

So Fang Yihan pressed her warm lips to Li Ju’s ear and whispered “I love you” many times. The inseparable pair became the most special person to each other.

The night was quiet and the snow was falling. No one was heartless enough to disturb the intimate couple.

And Li Ju, being careful, had already cut off the two chattering creatures. She wouldn’t make that mistake.

A’Ci, a little flower, was laughing so lecherously that Li Ju decisively said goodbye to it.

As for the long-silent System 666, it was too lazy to even speak a word.

Inside the System Space control room, 666 was sitting on a beam of light, tearing off the petals of a white rose. Its button eyes were full of a “life is not worth living” expression.

“I’m going to destroy the Host’s flowerbed! Tear off all the white roses!”

“Why did she lose her memory? Isn’t there any kind god who can tell me what to do now?”

“You awful male lead, you despicable scoundrel! Who told you to smash the Host’s head?! Now look what you did! You broke the Host’s soul! Who told you to become so powerful?! Give me back my elegant and cool Host!”

It was no wonder System 666 had a breakdown. Li Ju’s damaged soul had led to her amnesia, so their teamwork could no longer go back to what it was. Li Ju had no intention of responding to it.

System 666 knew Li Ju could hear its frustrations, but Li Ju had reached some kind of realization, and all she did was ignore it. This made it painfully aware that the Li Ju in front of it was no longer her former host. Without her memories, it was as if Li Ju had broken free from some sort of restriction.

It couldn’t understand what Li Ju was doing, but it had to admit that the current Li Ju was more vibrant and free.

System 666 looked at the bare stem it was holding. It lowered its round head and said sadly, “Host, you must get better soon!”

It was starting to worry if other missions in other worlds would go smoothly. It also worried that the life pod in the System Space wouldn’t be able to repair Li Ju’s damaged soul. The mission was only able to continue because the deviation from the plot wasn’t too big, and in the end, Fang Yihan stayed by Li Ju’s side.

System 666 plucked the last white rose petal. It said with a glimmer of hope, “No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for the Host to get better.”

Its short fingers tapped the air and opened the control panel. It was going to use the most expensive maintenance plan to have professionals repair the life pod again, ensuring that Li Ju would be able to recover after the mission.

In the System Space, there was a patch of white roses. They stretched their petals in the gentle climate, lazily waiting for their master to return.

“Li Ju, there’s a Little New Year’s Eve gala invitation. Do you want to go and have some fun?”

Her agent, Sister Cai, scrolled through her phone. The message was from the gala’s general director.

Li Ju frowned when she heard this. She looked at Fang Yihan first, then hesitated. “No, I don’t think so. My schedule this month is too full. I don’t have time.”

Sister Cai let out a cold laugh and stood in front of Fang Yihan, blocking Li Ju’s view.

She put her hands on her hips. “Are you two not sick of being attached at the hip? It’s time for distance to create beauty. You have to go to this gala!”

Li Ju pretended to have a headache and rubbed her temples. Faced with her agent’s coercion, she retorted unhappily, “How could we get tired of each other during the honeymoon phase? I already went to the New Year’s Eve gala. Going to the Little New Year’s Eve gala would be redundant.”

Sister Cai was a reliable and mature matriarch. She was often driven half-crazy by her artists, and most of the time it was Li Ju. So Sister Cai had long since lost her gentle demeanor. She had come to the realization that Li Ju was impervious to both soft and hard tactics. She had to get tough!

“Fine, if you’re not going, then you’re not going. And you’re not going to that dating reality show next year either.”

Li Ju’s eyes lit up. She put her hands together like a young girl in love. “What dating show? Is it the one I’m thinking of?”

Sister Cai looked at her with a look of disgust. She moved to the side, no longer getting in the way.

Without her obstruction, Fang Yihan once again became Li Ju’s crutch. Li Ju put one arm on Fang Yihan’s shoulder and said with a smile, “If it’s not that show, I’m not going.”

Sister Cai scoffed. “It’s the show you requested. It’s strange, but the show has been on for three seasons, and every time, a couple ends up getting married. That’s why so many netizens are so invested in it, trying to figure out who the couple that gets married will be.”

Fang Yihan couldn’t help but secretly glance at Li Ju, then smiled sweetly.

Li Ju ruffled her hair. “Is the gala prerecorded or live?”

“A Fruit TV gala is a live broadcast, of course. You just have to sing one song. I know you can do it! Don’t embarrass me this time, or I’ll hold your wife hostage and not let her go with you to the rehearsal.”

Li Ju sighed dramatically. “Sister Cai, you’re using this kind of tactic against me. How could you be so heartless?”

Sister Cai didn’t feel much guilt. She lowered her head to reply to the director’s message and said nonchalantly, “The most effective way to deal with a love-struck person is to hold their spouse hostage. Isn’t this great? You listen to me, and I can have some peace of mind. Yihan, I really want to give you an extra salary on my own dime, a hostage fee.”

Fang Yihan laughed. Li Ju’s face was a rare shade of red. “Sister Cai is just exaggerating,” she mumbled. “Who’s obsessed with love? I’m not. I have amnesia! I don’t remember anything.”

Sister Cai shot Li Ju a disgusted look. She put her phone back in her bag and then looked at Fang Yihan with a doting expression. “Before the new year, I’ll give Yihan a big red envelope. You have to take that hostage fee!”

Li Ju whispered, “Agree with Sister Cai. This is money that has been squeezed out of me, your wife!”

Fang Yihan shyly thanked Sister Cai, who pursed her lips and shook her head, sighing in regret. “Such a good girl, how did she get snatched up by this woman? Ah.”

Li Ju’s beautiful eyes widened. If Sister Cai hadn’t left so quickly, Li Ju would have definitely debated with her about what was wrong with her!

In the end, Fang Yihan closed the door to the lounge and kissed the fuming Li Ju, which finally made her smile.

With the new year approaching, everyone was busy, just to finish their work so they could go home and be with their families.

Li Ju held Fang Yihan, her gentle eyes full of love.

“You’ll have to go to the gala with me this year, Little Snowflake. It will be a lot of work.”

“It’s no work at all!”

Li Ju smiled. “Why don’t you invite your brother and sister to come over for New Year’s Eve dinner? What do you think?”

Fang Yihan could always feel Li Ju’s love and care for her in her words. Fang Yihan rubbed her cheek against Li Ju’s shoulder, her eyes gazing out the window at the evening sky. “Of course. My brother and sister would be so happy.”

“What about you?” Li Ju only cared about Fang Yihan’s happiness. Everyone else seemed less important.

Fang Yihan replied softly, her sugary voice a playful tease. “Every day I’ve known you, I’ve been happy. I love you so much, I really, really do!”

Li Ju’s lips curved into a smile. She rubbed Fang Yihan’s back and said dotingly, “You big silly.”

Her lover’s embrace made her feel safe. Fang Yihan knew the woman in front of her could shelter her from the storms and give her the most sincere and pure love.

Fang Yihan quietly tightened her arms around Li Ju’s waist, her smile gentle and captivating.

Suddenly, a beautiful firework exploded in the sky, and the whole lounge seemed to be filled with its color.

But Fang Yihan was too busy to admire the beautiful firework. She seemed to hear a faint voice, like a wisp of smoke, that scattered with the wind.

[A reminder: The key to changing your destiny is in your hands. This time, you have chosen the correct way to change it. Congratulations, destiny has been rewritten once again.]

[Remember, the villain holds the other key to your destiny. If you don’t want to repeat the past, you must soften the villain’s heart!]

[I wish you good luck next time.]

[I am always here.]

The sound of the fireworks was too loud, and Fang Yihan covered her ears. The suffocating feeling finally went away.

She looked at the fading firework in a daze, resting her chin on Li Ju’s shoulder.

The familiar scent and warm embrace. This was Fang Yihan’s sense of security.

“Little Snowflake.”

“Yes?”

“I love you.”

Fang Yihan’s bright eyes curved into a smile. The fireworks in the sky were blossoming again, and she felt that this was the life that was truly meant for her.

Time flew by, like a firework, gone in the blink of an eye.

******

That day, as Fang Yihan was walking down the hallway to take the elevator, a girl’s voice made her stop.

Fang Yihan recognized her at once. She gave a cool nod and smiled, about to leave.

But the girl ran up to her and bowed.

Fang Yihan was taken aback. “What are you doing?” she asked.

The girl’s pretty face was a little embarrassed. “I…I just wanted to apologize to you. I shouldn’t have ganged up on you with my friends. We…we thought you would complain to Sister Cai. We were so anxious, we didn’t know what to do. I ran into Sister Cai a few days ago, and that’s when I found out you didn’t complain at all.”

Fang Yihan lowered her gaze and smiled. “You’re mistaken. I didn’t complain because I wanted to see how far you could go. It looks like I was right. You all are doing terribly. What does that mean? It means you’re all one-and-done.”

The girl glared at Fang Yihan. She hadn’t expected to be treated with such contempt. At the time, she had thought Fang Yihan was a good person and had wanted to get close to her to use Li Ju’s connections to get some resources. Little did she know… it was all wishful thinking!

Fang Yihan’s simple and beautiful face revealed a sarcastic smile. “You people are so two-faced. Just talking about you makes me feel disgusted. You’re coming to me now for a reason. Do you really think I’m that stupid?”

With that, she leaned closer to the girl. “Weren’t you a huge fan of Long Jing’an? After he left the company, his popularity went down, and I heard all about you using your fake account to leak things to the paparazzi. You’re so heartless towards Long Jing’an. Do you really think I would believe your apology?”

Fang Yihan didn’t hide her disgust. “You’re just like Long Jing’an—both of you are simply hopeless.”

The girl’s face turned pale in panic. She swallowed.

She no longer had any intention of using Fang Yihan. She now truly understood how terrifying Fang Yihan was.

She was too weak to argue. She turned and ran.

Fang Yihan scoffed. “So annoying.”

The girl’s appearance temporarily soured Fang Yihan’s mood, but when she saw Li Ju, she immediately became the sweet, smiling girl she was before.

“Lean on me and rest for a bit. It’s a long way to the studio.”

“Okay~”

Fang Yihan closed her eyes, and Li Ju also took the opportunity to rest. The rehearsals had been tiring.

When they arrived at the studio, Li Ju began her last rehearsal for the day. The live broadcast of the Little New Year’s Eve gala would begin in the evening.

Every year at this time, it was a battle of connections. The more famous stars there were, the higher the ratings would be.

But fans of Li Ju would always tune in to Fruit TV on time.

******

In the same city, Fang Wenxiu was busy picking vegetables in the kitchen. The one who was cooking was, of course, the best chef in the family, Fang Qinglei.

But Fang Wenxiu had brought the vegetables into the living room. She was waiting to watch her family’s savior, Li Ju, perform!

“Wenxiu? Where are you? Haven’t you washed the vegetables I asked for?”

Fang Qinglei followed her to the living room and saw that his sister’s eyes were glued to the TV. He sighed and hit Fang Wenxiu on the shoulder.

“Get with it, I’m talking to you.”

“Brother! Look! Is that our little sister in the front row?”

Some camera happened to pan over to Fang Yihan, who was standing in the front row. She was jumping and waving a light stick, and Fang Wenxiu’s eyes immediately found her.

Fang Qinglei laughed fondly. “It really is our little sister. These galas are getting more and more complicated. How do they choose so many people for the audience? If I didn’t have to cook, I’d go and see it for myself. I’ve never seen a celebrity in person before.”

Fang Wenxiu ignored her brother. “Do you know about Li Ju and our little sister?” she asked with a smile.

“I’m not blind.”

Fang Wenxiu was surprised. She didn’t expect her big, rough-and-tumble brother to have noticed.

“The way they look at each other is different,” Fang Qinglei explained. “Even if I’m slow, I can tell.”

They both sighed at the same time. “The kids have grown up.”

One family was happy, and the other was sad. As a celebrity, Long Jing’an didn’t have the qualifications to perform at the gala. Even though it was a stage for his profession, his popularity had dropped too quickly. Without Li Ju’s popularity to lean on, there was nothing interesting about him. And now, the news of his sudden contract termination made many people think he was no longer favored.

Without a famous star’s fame, Long Jing’an was just a regular, small-time celebrity.

At some point, his fans even started hoping he would give up his pride and go back to vying for Li Ju’s favor. But that was impossible. Long Jing’an had no face to go back to Li Ju.

What happened between him and Li Ju remained a mystery in the entertainment world.

And the public was getting used to Li Ju’s posts about her love life. At first, it was just netizens joking around and shipping them. But after Li Ju liked a comment from a fan, they all went crazy.

From then on, the name “little assistant” was known and remembered by many people.

Some people called Li Ju unfaithful, while others said she was brave enough to love.

The swirling opinions of the public couldn’t ruin their relationship, because they understood each other better than anyone else.

Just then, Yao Zelan knocked on Long Jing’an’s door. The much thinner Long Jing’an asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Dinner’s ready.”

“Oh.”

Yao Zelan turned on the TV and skillfully changed the channel to Fruit TV.

Long Jing’an pursed his lips. “Aren’t you going to acknowledge her?”

Yao Zelan smiled. “My son, I’m not worthy of that, just like you have no face to go back to her. This life, where we don’t bother each other, is already good. All I ask is that you both stay safe and sound.”

Long Jing’an quietly watched the woman on the screen. He put down his chopsticks and took out his phone.

He knew Li Ju’s haters would go to his account to cause trouble. He chose a random comment that said he was no longer favored and called Li Ju unfaithful.

He replied.

[It wasn’t unfaithful, it was a publicity stunt.]

[I terminated my contract, and the company and I parted ways amicably.]

[I failed to live up to everyone’s expectations.]

[I accept my fate.]

Long Jing’an had truly accepted his fate. The reason his career had gone downhill was that Li Ju had cut off all the resources he could get. He had cursed and raged, but in the end, he had no choice but to accept it.

Now, Long Jing’an’s reply was cutting off the last tie between him and Li Ju.

From now on, they were strangers.

“An, eat your food. Stop playing on your phone.”

He quietly put away his phone. He had no room for nonsense. He had a mother to support and another elderly person far away in his hometown.

He should be content. He was able to debut and be popular for a while. He had already surpassed so many people.

Li Ju’s popularity was indeed high. Long Jing’an’s comment was reposted by countless people, creating a huge ripple effect.

But her trending status didn’t end there. A new dating show announced its cast, and the official account for a movie announced that it had been nominated for an international film festival.

The news was a whirlwind for the netizens.

[Oh my God, how does Li Ju manage to be so obsessed with love and win awards at the same time?]

[Wow, wow! A-list celebrity on a dating show. Looking at Li Ju’s name, I’m suddenly okay with this.]

[I knew something was off about that whole situation. So it was a publicity stunt.]

[What if Li Ju paid off Long Jing’an? Do you believe everything he says?]

[There are too many fake things in the entertainment industry. Whoever believes it loses!]

[A publicity stunt with a male idol, then she falls in love with her little assistant, and then goes on a dating show and wins an award. That’s Li Ju for you! I’m truly impressed.]

[Isn’t the main point that an A-list celebrity is on a dating show! The thing with Long Jing’an was a publicity stunt, but the love-struck persona must be real!]

Li Ju, who had just arrived backstage, was greeted by Fang Yihan’s pitying look. “Are people talking about me again?” she asked with a smile.

“Yes, they are!”

Li Ju winked and kissed Fang Yihan on the lips.

“No matter how many people doubt me, I’m not afraid,” Li Ju said softly. “It’s an inevitable part of my job. But as long as you love me forever, I’m invincible.”

Love was her armor, and she was lucky to have its blessing.

How wonderful.
