The Villain Has A Yuri Halo [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 6

The other people in the room were completely bewildered by the “little dog” comment, especially the outgoing Zhao Zhang. He instinctively rubbed his eyes to make sure the woman who said that was the Teacher Tang he knew. But it was true. The smiling woman standing next to Li Ju was the same Teacher Tang he had seen before.

He looked at Gao Sheng, who was also stunned, and then remembered how cold Tang Qingqing had been to him at school. Zhao Zhang patted Gao Sheng’s shoulder sympathetically.

Dude, chasing women is a long and arduous journey!

Gao Sheng’s lips were set in a bitter line, but he quickly found his courage again.

So this was what Tang Qingqing was like in private. She could laugh and tease her friend in a soft tone Gao Sheng had never heard before. It made him realize that Tang Qingqing had never considered him a friend. Their relationship was limited to being strangers. He had thought her coldness was just her personality, but now he knew he had misunderstood.

“Teacher Tang, Miss Li, I’m so sorry to interrupt you both. We must have come into the wrong room,” Gao Sheng said, his heart clenching. He couldn’t wait to speak.

Tang Qingqing raised an eyebrow, calmly took her hand off Li Ju’s shoulder, and ignored Gao Sheng. She picked up a cup and drank some water.

Li Ju saw that Tang Qingqing had finished her water and got angry. “Are you handless?” she grumbled. “Can’t you get your own water? Why did you drink mine? Even if you did, you couldn’t have left me a single drop?”

Li Ju jabbed her in the side with her elbow, snatched the cup back, and muttered, “So annoying.”

Tang Qingqing put her hands on her hips, her expression was gentle and patient as she refilled Li Ju’s cup.

Li Ju looked at the cup, then glanced at her. “I am not sharing a cup with a dog,” she said.

“I’m so tired of hearing that, Xiao Ju. You’ve said it so many times since we were kids.”

Tang Qingqing tugged on her low ponytail, thinking of a childhood memory. The coolness in Tang Qingqing’s eyes faded, and the feeling of losing control because of Gao Sheng slowly dissipated. Tang Qingqing felt like she was being too sensitive. It was fine if they knew each other; they were just strangers. He wasn’t important; he was nothing compared to the place she held in Li Ju’s heart.

Li Ju swatted her hand away, her eyes warning Tang Qingqing.

Tang Qingqing obediently pulled out a chair and sat next to Li Ju. Their gazes met, and they both turned to look at the people standing opposite them.

Gao Sheng’s smile was awkward. He didn’t know whether to go or stay. It seemed his greeting had been completely ignored by Li Ju and Tang Qingqing.

Zhao Zhang, on the other hand, was less reserved. “What a coincidence! You two are here for Huaiyang cuisine, too? I have to say, this city is small. I can’t believe Miss Li is friends with Teacher Tang. We all know each other now, so Gao Sheng and I don’t need to introduce ourselves again,” he said with a laugh.

Zhao Zhang laughed and ran a hand through his hair. He had to admit that the two women were a sight to behold. In terms of looks, they were both stunning, but they were out of his league. Take Li Ju, for instance. Marrying her would be like marrying a strong-willed heiress. How could he ever be free to have fun? And then there was Tang Qingqing, so cold and strange. Those two tough nuts were better left for his good friend Gao Sheng to crack.

A thought suddenly occurred to Zhao Zhang. He realized something very serious. Did these two women even know about Gao Sheng’s feelings? Could this be… a love triangle? She liked him, but he liked her! How exciting.

Li Ju wasn’t surprised when Gao Sheng showed up because System 666 had already warned her.

[The fact that they walked into the wrong room is something I did not anticipate! It’s all your fault for not wanting to trigger the plot. Now what? Points were wasted.]

Li Ju completely ignored its complaints. She smiled and waved at Gao Sheng and the others. “It really is a coincidence. Why don’t we eat together? We haven’t ordered yet.”

When she said that, Tang Qingqing almost lost her composure. The dinner for two she had worked so hard to plan would not be ruined by outsiders!

“Xiao Ju, they came into the wrong room. I’m sure they have business to attend to. We can reschedule this meal for another day.”

Li Ju turned, tilted her head, and leaned closer to Tang Qingqing. She lowered her voice and asked with a mischievous smile, “You don’t want him to eat with me?”

Tang Qingqing threw the question back at her. “Do you want him to, Xiao Ju?”

Li Ju’s eyes scanned Tang Qingqing’s face. Her gaze fell on the insulated bag containing the warm food that Tang Qingqing had brought for her.

She lowered her beautiful eyes and her lips curved into a smile. “I said I’d treat you to dinner, so of course, it’s just you.”

She had put in so much effort, and the Huaiyang food at this restaurant was so good. She decided against ruining the mood.

[Aaaah, my points! My points!]

Unlike System 666’s wailing, Tang Qingqing’s calm, placid eyes rippled with a soft, captivating light that made one’s heart flutter.

Tang Qingqing was so happy she could only stare intently at Li Ju. Her instincts were right; this woman was unbelievably gentle right now.

Their quiet conversation was almost inaudible. It didn’t take long, but Gao Sheng and Zhao Zhang couldn’t hear what they were saying. Judging by Tang Qingqing’s expression, it must have been a good thing.

The brighter Tang Qingqing’s smile was, the more complicated Gao Sheng’s feelings became. He had never imagined these two would have any connection. If Tang Qingqing found out about Li Ju’s feelings for him, would it push Tang Qingqing even further away? After all, they were friends. A rational adult would definitely try to avoid any suspicion.

Gao Sheng calmed his flustered heart. He didn’t dare to act familiar with Li Ju in front of Tang Qingqing. He simply said politely, “Miss Li, I appreciate the offer, but we have business to attend to. We will make it up to you another time, and I’ll apologize then.”

Li Ju was sharp. She held the script in her hand and could tell what Gao Sheng was thinking. He even used the honorific “you.” How interesting. He hadn’t been this humble when she first decided to invest in his company.

Li Ju was a polite person. She saw through him but didn’t say anything, pretending to be naive as she nodded and said, “There’s no need to apologize. It was just a small coincidence. You two should go take care of business and not waste any more time.”

Zhao Zhang, who had been silent, began to feel that something was wrong. The atmosphere between the three of them was too strange and suffocating. He stopped his carefree laughing and gave Li Ju a serious nod before following Gao Sheng out.

As soon as they left, Tang Qingqing had something to say. “You know them too, Xiao Ju?”

Li Ju said playfully, “Don’t you?”

Tang Qingqing asked back, “Aren’t you curious about how I know them?”

Li Ju chuckled, resting her hand on Tang Qingqing’s chin in a casual manner. Her long fingers cupped Tang Qingqing’s cheek, and the scent of her perfume made Tang Qingqing’s eyes go a little hazy, as if she was enjoying this moment of closeness.

“A master is not interested in her dog’s private life.” she said. “I only need you to be obedient.”

Tang Qingqing’s long eyelashes fluttered. Her eyes gradually cleared. She felt that the woman in front of her was truly detestable. Her actions and words were so enchanting, yet she couldn’t even give her a bit of sincerity.

Tang Qingqing rubbed her hand. “What if I stop being obedient?”

Li Ju placed a finger on Tang Qingqing’s lips, a bright smile on her face. “That’s not possible.”

Tang Qingqing was silent, no longer speaking.

Li Ju ran her hand through Tang Qingqing’s long hair, enjoying the temporary peace.

The stalemate was broken when the waiter came in with their food.

“Xiao Ju, I’m going to the bathroom.”

Li Ju stopped her chopsticks and nodded.

Tang Qingqing’s figure disappeared from Li Ju’s sight. Li Ju looked at the food on the table and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

[Host, you can still act it out now!]

Li Ju’s expression was calm. “No. I’m full and I want to sleep. I don’t feel like making the female lead suffer.”

[If you don’t want to make the female lead suffer, what about the male lead! We’re villains, after all. Please, I’m begging you. The double eleven sale is about to start. Even if your Employee of the Year award gives you a discount, the things I want are expensive!]

“Oh, so that’s why you’ve been rushing me to follow the plot today,” Li Ju said.

[Please, please, please, please. I’m begging you!]

Li Ju thought for a moment, picked up her jacket, and walked out the door.

With her hands in her pockets, the lazy and casual look on her face gave her a kind of heroic and carefree air. But when she smiled brightly, she was a breathtakingly charming enchantress.

There were potted plants taller than a person in the hallway. System 666 suggested she hide behind them to eavesdrop.

But Li Ju didn’t go anywhere. She just stood a short distance away from them.

“Teacher Tang, wait for me!”

Tang Qingqing tucked her hair behind her ear, her eyes cold as she looked at Gao Sheng, who refused to move. The timing of their meetings was always so strange that it made her suspicious. It was odd enough to run into him at school, but to see him here, too?

“Please move.”

“Teacher Tang, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me? Did I offend you in some way? Why are you always so cold to me?”

Tang Qingqing lifted her sharp eyes and watched him for a few seconds. “There’s no misunderstanding between us,” she said. “I just don’t like men.”

At that moment, she saw Li Ju standing there. Her expression changed, but she quickly put on a smile. She ran over to Li Ju, looking for praise. “Xiao Ju, was I a good girl? You once told me to say that when I met a man. I did it today!”

Li Ju couldn’t help but rub her forehead. “You didn’t… have to be that good,” she said, gritting her teeth.
