When the Villain From an Angsty Novel Transmigrates Into a Sweet Romance [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 20.2

This time, Chi Xia finally gave the man behind her a look, because she had heard this voice not long ago. She turned around and said, “You followed me.”

Yu She walked over quickly. After some time and the impact of Chi Xia’s beauty, his temperament had mellowed, and he wasn’t as aggressive. He knew Chi Xia was beautiful, but her beauty had a sharp edge that made it hard for him to have other thoughts until that moment of lazy elegance while looking in the mirror. Only then did he realize what “unconscious seduction” meant.

“No, I just wanted to explain.”

Chi Xia laughed disdainfully. “I’m not interested in you.” The smile on her face didn’t reach her eyes. If her system, 009, were here, it would surely scream that Yu She was about to be unlucky.

Chi Xia had planned to rest before dealing with Yu She.

But now Yu She had disgusted her. Resting was out of the question. Tomorrow, she would continue to mess with Yu Group with renewed vigor. After all, Chi Xia was a woman with “golden finger” abilities.

Relying on the fact that he knew Chi Xia, Yu She reached out to grab her wrist as she turned to leave. However, in the next second, Chi Xia quickly grabbed his finger and applied force in the opposite direction. She smiled gently, but her eyes were full of excitement. Her soul began to thrill; after holding back from getting physical for so long, she could finally enjoy herself today.

Chi Xia asked softly, “Does it feel good?”

Yu She gasped, his composed expression crumbling. Others who witnessed the process subconsciously hid their hands behind their backs, fearing they would be next.

Chi Xia’s fingers applied pressure, turning pale. Her seemingly delicate hand was delivering such intense pain. Yu She suddenly regretted touching her. He clearly knew this woman was not to be trifled with.

Yu She bent over in pain, trying to pull his hand back, but it depended on whether Chi Xia would let go.

The woman looked down, watching his contorted face with a heartless smile.

They were close together, and under the streetlight, they looked like a pair of close friends from a distance. The woman was holding his finger and smiling softly, radiating a charming aura.

“You… let go.”

“No.”

It was the first time Yu She realized his fingers could bend to such an extent the back of his hand was almost touching his wrist. One could only imagine the force Chi Xia was using.

He pleaded in collapse, “Chi Xia, I shouldn’t have grabbed you. For the sake of our old school days, let’s talk things out.”

Chi Xia tilted her head innocently, her gaze as calm as if looking at a dead person. She smiled. “When you grabbed me, you weren’t thinking that, were you?”

Her voice was calm, showing no sign of anger. She said indifferently, “Before you lay a hand on someone, weigh your own worth first.”

“I understand, I get it. Just let go first, okay?”

Chi Xia shoved his hand away. Realizing her fingers had touched him, she pursed her lips in disgust and wiped her hand on his shoulder. She said, “You don’t need to explain to me about the rumors you spread in high school. Can a simple apology fix what happened? Or do you think that by apologizing to us, you can forgive yourself without any burden? And then continue to shamelessly pursue Fang Yuqing?”

Yu She’s eyes shifted, and his face remained contorted as he couldn’t find words. It seemed Chi Xia had guessed his thoughts perfectly.

Chi Xia couldn’t help but show her disappointment. Was this guy someone who would harass another woman and had no intention of truly changing really the male lead?

Is the Heavenly Dao of this “Sweet Story” world lacking experience with good men?

Is it possible that it’s because of your appearance, Xia-Xia, that the male lead’s character setting is collapsing?!

Chi Xia propped up her face. “Is it my fault for being too beautiful? Or too smart?”

Stop talking to him. In high school, you found out who started the rumors just by asking a few people. Now, after a few meetings, you’ve piqued the male lead’s interest. Xiaxia, let’s just run. Don’t provoke him. If his character collapses too much, I’ll have to argue with the little Heavenly Dao about who’s at fault.

Chi Xia’s brow didn’t unknit. Her eyes were complicated. “You’re right. I should go see Fang Yuqing.”

At least the female lead’s personality had remained consistent without showing signs of breaking.

“Chi Xia, what are you doing!!!”

Thanks to that phone call, Fang Yuqing knew Chi Xia had arrived at the bar. But with so many people, Chi Xia couldn’t possibly see her right away even with her good eyesight. So, she thought she’d come out to meet her. She had realized that with Chi Xia’s temper, you had to go along with it give her a “sweet date” if you could, and don’t hold back, otherwise she really might show you what a complete turnaround looks like.

In the past, Fang Yuqing wouldn’t have put up with Chi Xia’s attitude.

However, as she grew older, her personality had become more stable. Her view of things and people had naturally changed since her youth.

Back in high school, Fang Yuqing thought Chi Xia’s temper was foul and stubborn completely incomprehensible.

But now, it seemed like an adorable, “tsundere” expression.

People are like that; they can overturn their previous thoughts at any moment.

So, Fang Yuqing happily came to pick up Chi Xia. The bar she chose was a “quiet bar” music bar where most of the music was soothing without too much noise. But the location was in a bustling area, surrounded by crowds and excitement. When Fang Yuqing looked for Chi Xia, her eyes didn’t miss that streetlight, and thus she saw those two people standing under the lamp.

Living under the same roof, would Fang Yuqing fail to recognize Chi Xia? Even if it were just a silhouette.

Fang Yuqing’s smile vanished. She saw Chi Xia’s hand actually touching that person’s shoulder. Furthermore, if she wasn’t mistaken, that person was the persistent Yu She.

She had been waiting obediently for Chi Xia in the bar, afraid she wouldn’t find her, and had thoughtfully come out to meet her. Who knew that Chi Xia saying she’d be there quickly was a complete lie!

At this moment, Fang Yuqing’s feelings were indescribable a mess of disappointment and distress. She knew there couldn’t be anything between Chi Xia and Yu She, but she didn’t care about them meeting; she cared about Chi Xia touching his shoulder. It was like seeing a signal a signal of approaching someone she hated.

Does she not care about me anymore?

Why pat his shoulder?

No, that’s not right. She couldn’t think like that. There was no reason to demand that Chi Xia share her hatred. She shouldn’t selfishly force her thoughts onto Chi Xia.

But we have such a good relationship. Shouldn’t she hate the person I hate?

Fang Yuqing was fuming. she marched over to Chi Xia and stepped right between the two of them. She glanced at Yu She, who was clutching his hand for some reason, and without a word, she pulled a wet wipe from her bag to clean Chi Xia’s hand.

Chi Xia looked confused, the cold aura from before fading away. She looked a bit dazed. She didn’t understand why Fang Yuqing was wiping her hand, but seeing her serious look, Chi Xia just shrugged and didn’t pull away.

Fang Yuqing carefully wiped each finger from inside to out, leaving them damp. Holding Chi Xia’s hand, she looked up and saw that she actually seemed to be enjoying it. Fang Yuqing got even angrier. Since there was an outsider present, she held back her temper. She said, “I’ve been waiting for you for ages, and here you are, having a leisurely chat with someone else.”

Chi Xia silently held out her other hand there was a smudge of lipstick on her pinky. She wanted to ask Fang Yuqing to wipe that one too.

Fang Yuqing’s eyes went wide, and she laughed out of sheer anger. “What are you doing!”

“Weren’t you wiping my hands?”

Hearing this, Fang Yuqing felt like her eyes were about to shoot fire. Especially with Chi Xia’s innocent expression, as if she hadn’t done anything wrong and it was Fang Yuqing who was being unreasonable.

She slapped Chi Xia’s hand hard. “In your dreams! I’m not wiping it anymore. Do it yourself!” Fang Yuqing shoved the pack of wet wipes into Chi Xia’s hand. She wasn’t serving her anymore!

Chi Xia wanted to say something but stopped. She looked at Fang Yuqing again and again. She suppressed her urge to complain; after all, Yu She was still there, so she should save some face for Fang Yuqing.

Fang Yuqing didn’t know about her inner conflict. Right now, she found Yu She unpleasant in every way. She already disliked him, and now it was worse.

“Mr. Yu, you don’t look so well. Here’s a suggestion: go see your private doctor quickly.”

Didn’t he always mention his private doctor in front of her before? Now it was her turn.

When Yu She saw Fang Yuqing, he felt as if his world had collapsed. What he feared most had happened. He had insisted on following Chi Xia just to explain the mistake he made in high school so she wouldn’t tell a third party. Who would have thought the person Chi Xia was coming to see was Fang Yuqing? This was worse than swallowing a fly.

Massaging his aching hand, Yu She forced a smile. “Thank you for your concern. My health is fine.”

Fang Yuqing suddenly felt that her level of sarcasm wasn’t even half of Chi Xia’s. Instead of disgusting Yu She, she had ended up speechless.

Without thinking, she grabbed Chi Xia’s arm, her eyes full of pressure, signaling Chi Xia to get her some payback. Otherwise, that shoulder-patting incident wasn’t over.

Chi Xia understood her look and smiled softly. “There’s nothing wrong with his health. He was hurt by me. I just taught him a lesson.”

Fang Yuqing never expected the story to take this turn. Her eyes sparkled. She held Chi Xia’s arm as if wanting to hang onto her. Although it was a bit violent, for some reason, it was so cool.

Of course, Fang Yuqing was even happier that she had overthought things. How could someone like Chi Xia take the initiative to get close to anyone else? Yu She was so annoying; he wasn’t nearly as cute as her! Unless Chi Xia was blind, she wouldn’t think of approaching someone she hated!

“Hehehehe.”

“?”

Chi Xia couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re laughing like a fool.”

Darling, don’t you think the male lead has been turned into a statue by your words? Why did you have to say you beat him up? Saying that makes him look like a useless coward. Please, he’s the male lead the golden, refined, elite male lead!! Look, do you think the female lead still finds him attractive? No, not at all! She only thinks he’s inferior to you!

Darling, this is a sweet story! Don’t overdo the abuse!

The atmosphere between the male and female leads was like a runaway horse completely out of control!

Chi Xia pondered for a moment. “It shouldn’t be… that serious, right? In the original plot, Yu She pursued Fang Yuqing for a long time before she agreed. My appearance just makes the pursuit a bit harder; it doesn’t mean it’ll break up the official couple.”

Official couple… huh?

That term felt strangely grating.

Chi Xia looked down at Fang Yuqing’s bright eyes, feeling a bit cynical. She looked smart, but her taste in people was a bit poor.

Having found the person she wanted to see and having received an answer to the things that made her sad, Fang Yuqing felt relieved. She pulled Chi Xia’s arm toward the bar, chatting away to keep all of Chi Xia’s attention on herself.

But Chi Xia had one more thing to say to Yu She. She said meaningfully, “The person you truly need to apologize to isn’t me.”

She herself was the “villainous antagonist”; she didn’t need anyone’s apology. She would eventually get her revenge anyway, so she didn’t care about his hypocritical apology.

But Fang Yuqing was different. She had endured more gossip than Chi Xia, even being called a “licking dog” devoted follower. She deserved an apology from Yu She.

Fang Yuqing didn’t understand the hidden meaning. She bit her lip. Seeing Yu She dazed and staring at Chi Xia after her words, she called out her name.

“Hmm?”

Fang Yuqing said dissatisfied, “Were you even listening to what I just said?”

Chi Xia answered, “Weren’t you talking about office gossip?”

“You really do let it go in one ear and out the other!” Fang Yuqing felt so wronged. She had said so much, and yet it couldn’t compare to Yu She?

Noticing that she was walking ahead and no longer matching her pace, Chi Xia knew she was angry again. She said softly, “I was teasing you. I was listening.”

Fang Yuqing turned around and walked backward, questioning, “Then what did I say?”

“You said we’re not going home until we’re drunk today, and that you’ve wanted to know what being drunk feels like for a long time.”

Chi Xia looked at her silently, her eyes fixed. “Fang Yuqing, you have something on your mind, don’t you?”

Fang Yuqing stopped in her tracks. She said, “Do you want to hear it?”

Chi Xia walked up to her and joked, “If you’re not afraid of me laughing at you, you can tell me.”

“You wouldn’t laugh at me,” she retorted.

“Is that so?”

Fang Yuqing put her hands on her hips. “Please trust my judgment in people!”

Chi Xia broke into a smile and couldn’t help but pat her head.

Fine, I’ll count your judgment as decent this once.

The two walked side-by-side. The man behind them had become a mere decoration, and they didn’t care what he was thinking.

Inside the bar, the lighting was dim. The bar stools were placed close together; sitting on them meant being shoulder-to-shoulder. Chi Xia had a glass of ice water next to her. Unlike Fang Yuqing, who was taking small sips of her drink, she didn’t look like she was there to relax, but rather like a parent supervising a disobedient child.

“Not having a drink? You’re with your friend; you should have something,” the owner said with a smile.

Chi Xia said helplessly, “No, I’m driving today.”

The owner wanted to mention designated drivers, but Fang Yuqing said protectively, “Owner, don’t try to persuade her. I’m the one who needs to drown my sorrows today. She’s just here to listen to me vent and act as a driver.” As she spoke, Fang Yuqing let out a silly laugh.

Chi Xia reached out and turned her face toward her. It was flushed and felt a bit hot. It seemed she wasn’t far from being drunk.

She pinched Fang Yuqing’s cheek and teased, “Three drinks and you’re like this?”

“What? I don’t drink often.” Although her head was fuzzy, she still had the use of her mouth, firing back at Chi Xia without losing a beat.

The owner had gone back to mixing drinks. There were many people, but due to the proximity of the stools, their conversation could be heard clearly.

Chi Xia picked up her ice water and swirled it. The ice clinked in the glass a crisp sound that made Fang Yuqing’s eyes lock onto the hand holding the glass.

Condensation on the glass formed droplets that slid down onto Chi Xia’s finger, looking like clear crystals.

“Open up. Cool down your brain. I don’t want to have to carry you home.”

Chi Xia held the ice water to Fang Yuqing’s lips, her other hand placed behind her head, awkwardly taking care of the drunkard before her.

Harsh words came from her mouth, making it hard to imagine how gentle her actions actually were. But Fang Yuqing could feel the tenderness.

She looked up at Chi Xia like a breathing robot.

“What are you dazed for?” Chi Xia sighed, somewhat regretting not persuading her to drink less.

When the woman’s face was cold and the corners of her eyes were upturned, she looked sharp and indifferent, making people feel timid.

But now, she looked down with a shallow smile, and even the layered lights of the bar couldn’t match the brilliance in her eyes.

Fang Yuqing’s cheeks felt burning hot; she desperately needed the ice water to cool down.

She couldn’t wait and downed it in one go, swallowing the ice water.

But one glass wasn’t enough. The thirst in her throat and the heat on her face made Fang Yuqing focus on the remaining water droplets.

She leaned down reverently and kissed Chi Xia’s finger.

The droplet was swallowed into her throat.

Chi Xia’s hand shook from the heat of her lips. She saw Fang Yuqing look at her pitifully and say, “Sister, I haven’t had enough.”

Chi Xia’s brow furrowed deeply. She gripped Fang Yuqing’s jaw and said through gritted teeth, “Are you… are you crazy?”

She… she actually drank the water droplet off my finger?!
