When the Villain From an Angsty Novel Transmigrates Into a Sweet Romance [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 21.2

Hearing that laughter again, Chi Xia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She curled her finger and tapped the table, saying, “And then?”

“Let’s just skip over the other matters. It was just that night when I heard my mother making a phone call. The words she said made me certain that the suspicions I had when I was a child were indeed correct: I am not her biological daughter. Everything left a trail behind. See how smart I am? I managed to discover the core of the problem all at once.”

She thought she was smiling with a sense of relief, but in Chi Xia’s eyes, that smile was filled with deep sorrow.

Chi Xia smoothed out the hair by her temples, pretending to casually wipe away the tear that was about to roll down her cheek, and said, “Yes, a very smart little girl.”

This, this, this… The plot never mentioned that the female lead had such a miserable childhood. I severely suspect that the plot transmitted by the Heavenly Dao is incomplete!!

“Establish contact with this world’s Heavenly Dao as soon as possible.”

Understood!

Seeing that Chi Xia had wiped away her tear, Fang Yuqing’s tears instantly became unstoppable, falling down one by one, rolling down her cheeks. “I just feel a bit like crying, I don’t mean anything else by it.”

“Tears and sneezes share the same nature; they cannot be held back. If you want to cry, then just cry.” Chi Xia rarely agreed with her words so agreeably, but this time she couldn’t bring herself to say anything hurtful. There would be plenty of opportunities to tease the female lead in their daily lives, she didn’t need to do it right now.

She rubbed her face against Chi Xia’s hand, “Speaking my mind to you makes me feel a lot better.”

“Want more to drink?” Chi Xia, who had previously regretted not convincing her to drink less, had now changed her mind and actively suggested drinking more.

Fang Yuqing placed her face inside Chi Xia’s palm, laughing with a crying tone, “No more drinking. Drinking makes my whole body smell bad, how would I even sit in your car then? I don’t want to be disliked by you.”

Perhaps because she had seen the tears, Chi Xia’s attitude was exceptionally gentle.

“It’s fine. I am your older sister, I can tolerate you just this once.”

Chi Xia, who usually refused to acknowledge their sisterly relationship, had actually accepted it at this moment. This gave Fang Yuqing an even greater urge to cry. With teary eyes, she threw herself into Chi Xia’s embrace, protesting, “You better not become too gentle.”

Chi Xia’s body stiffened, not knowing where to put her hands, so she could only question her in return.

Fang Yuqing said, “A version of you that is too gentle makes it impossible for people to forget you. In the past, you fiercely snapped at me for a whole year and I could remember it for a long, long time. If you become considerate and caring, once you get married in the future, you won’t belong to me anymore. You will have your own family, and a cheap stepsister like me who never managed to win your affection will definitely be thrown to the back of your mind.”

“Nonsense.”

“Why are you scolding me.”

Chi Xia gradually softened her arms, letting them rest gently by her side as she said, “I won’t be getting married.”

“Then I won’t get married either.”

She waited and waited, but Chi Xia never spoke up again. Fang Yuqing asked curiously, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

How could Chi Xia possibly say what was truly in her heart? She unnaturally patted her head with her hand and said, “No more drinking then, let’s head home.”

You are the female lead, how could you possibly not get married?

You and I are completely different.

Saying goodbye to the bartender, Chi Xia wrapped her arm around Fang Yuqing’s shoulder, unhurriedly walking out of the bar.

“Wait for me here, I’ll go get the car.”

“Okay~”

She wasn’t completely dead drunk. Listening to Chi Xia’s instructions, she obediently stood in place without moving, her large eyes staring fixedly at Chi Xia. The night breeze blew with a trace of sultry heat; under the neon lights, Fang Yuqing, dressed in cool summer clothing, looked exceptionally pure and beautiful.

Suddenly, a passerby noticed Fang Yuqing. Seeing that her expression didn’t look quite right, he guessed that she must have had a drink. He let out a frivolous whistle, and just as he was about to open his mouth to flirt with her, Fang Yuqing completely anticipated his move.

Fang Yuqing shouted at the top of her lungs, “Sister! There’s a bad guy here, hurry up and drive the car to run him over!”

Running him over was definitely out of the question, but the car headlights shining directly over made the man curse as he covered his eyes and quickly fled from the spot, terrified that Chi Xia might also be a drunk driver. What if she actually drove the car straight into him?

Chi Xia honked the horn, making the man run even faster. She stepped out of the car with a cold face; seeing Fang Yuqing standing over there acting like a perfectly straight, upright tree, she unpleasantly dragged her back into the car, saying, “You are not allowed to come out to drink alone ever again, do you hear me?”

“I wouldn’t drink alone anyway, don’t I have you with me?”

Chi Xia, thoroughly annoyed, stuffed her into the passenger seat, “Saying one word to you results in you snapping back with two. Fang Yuqing, your wings have truly hardened!”

She waved her arms around and grinned, saying, “No they haven’t~ They’re still very soft. If you don’t believe me, feel it, come feel it quickly!”

This wasn’t drinking alcohol; this was draining her own life span.

Chi Xia slammed the car door and got inside, warning coldly, “Shut your mouth, close your eyes and go to sleep.”

“Then how am I going to get out of the car later? Are you going to carry me?” She asked innocently, her eyes still a bit flushed, making it incredibly difficult for anyone to harden their heart against her.

“I will probably just throw you straight out.”

Fang Yuqing smiled sweetly, wearing an expression that clearly showed she had already completely figured Chi Xia out, “You won’t.”

Chi Xia glared at her and stopped talking.

It was already very late, soft music was playing inside the vehicle, and with Chi Xia being the one driving, Fang Yuqing unconsciously tilted her head against the window and drifted off into dreamland.

Catching sight of this out of the corner of her eye, Chi Xia reached over to lower the volume of the music. After being busy all day, she was also rather exhausted and only wanted to return home quickly.

Sigh, she really should have just gone straight home after work. Accompanying Fang Yuqing out for a drink had ultimately resulted in finding a whole mountain of trouble for herself.

She thought of Fang Yuqing, and her eyes couldn’t help but steal another glance at her.

Moving downward from Fang Yuqing’s eyes, there were those plump lips; without the application of lipstick, they displayed a perfectly healthy color. The lip peak there was full and plump, and Chi Xia had already experienced that soft, pillowy texture firsthand today.

She awkwardly averted her gaze, her fingers gripping the steering wheel suddenly feeling a strange wave of numbness, because that exact spot happened to be where Fang Yuqing had previously kissed the water droplets away.

“Tsk.”

She knit her brows in frustration. It seemed that the next time Fang Yuqing went out to drink, she absolutely had to stay as far away as possible.

“Chi Xia.”

Chi Xia thought she had woken up and was calling out to her, but looking over, she realized it was merely her mumbling in her sleep.

“A completely troublesome fellow,” she scolded Fang Yuqing in a whisper.

Yet in the very next second, Fang Yuqing asked, “Will you dislike me?”

She wasn’t actually asleep; she was merely resting with her eyes closed, while also trying to calmly level out her own state of mind.

Chi Xia took a deep breath, speaking with resentment, “Why do I feel like you’ve become even more cunning after getting drunk? You’ve even learned how to fake sleep!”

“It’s because I’m thinking of you, thinking so much that I can’t fall asleep~”

Chi Xia’s heart skipped a few beats in rapid succession. Locking her brows tightly, she blamed her, “All day long, can you stop overthinking things? Does it really matter whose child you are? Or has your mother treated you very poorly?”

“Then what about you? After hearing what I said, will you feel that I am very terrible?” Fang Yuqing seemed to have trapped herself in a vicious cycle, firmly believing deep down in her mind that it was because she wasn’t good enough that she couldn’t receive the affection of the elders, which was why she ended up by her mother’s side. Therefore, she was extremely grateful to her mother, and equally grateful to Chi Xia for willingly listening to her complaints.

Nobody was born a radiant sun; she simply didn’t want to allow herself to be completely smothered by the gloom.

Seeing that she had lost her sense of self due to the influence of alcohol, Chi Xia immediately decided to pull the car over. With an expressionless face, she asked in return, “Is this still the Fang Yuqing I know? Seeing you torturing yourself like this just because you care about other people’s opinions truly makes me find it laughable.”

She mocked with cold eyes, thoroughly looking down on Fang Yuqing’s self-deprecating attitude.

Fang Yuqing broke into a smile through her tears, giving her a light punch as she said, “I’m not an immortal, am I not even allowed to have a single flaw?”

Chi Xia caught her hand, staring straight into her eyes as she said, “Do not shed tears for people who aren’t worth it, and for things that aren’t worth it.”

Her words were dead serious; although she was lecturing Fang Yuqing, she truly hoped from the bottom of her heart that she would pull herself together. Chi Xia’s personality was inherently one that lacked gentle, whispered tones capable of acting as a comforting counselor. She was old-fashioned and rigid, and her behavior could hardly be considered gentle much like the piercing winter snow but the reality was that it was also the most pure and flawless existence.

People who appreciated her would love her personality, while those who disliked her would only feel that Chi Xia was cold-blooded and ruthless. Just as Fang Yuqing had said, no one was perfect, but that was exactly what made someone sufficiently real.

Coincidentally, Fang Yuqing happened to be the one who understood her.

Because of Chi Xia’s words, her anxious mood regarding her background was stripped of its jagged edges bit by bit, leaving behind only the calm composure to accept reality.

Tears were still hanging from Fang Yuqing’s eyelashes. She hooked both arms tightly around Chi Xia’s neck and said, “Thank you.”

In truth, even without Chi Xia acting as a listener, Fang Yuqing would have resolved these inner frustrations very quickly. However, once a listener was present, those peculiar emotions would be magnified infinitely, and a person would become incredibly fragile. She understood all the logic, but what Fang Yuqing needed most was a person capable of granting her clarity, so Chi Xia had taken up this heavy responsibility.

This time, Chi Xia’s arms were no longer stiffly searching for a place to rest. She loosely wrapped her arms around Fang Yuqing’s waist, letting out a deep sigh, “In the future, you better drink less. Otherwise, the one suffering the torment will be me, not you.”

“Okay~”

“Seeing as you shed tears today, I won’t settle the score with you for taking advantage of me.”

“Fang Yuqing, you truly look quite ugly when you cry.”

“However, how long do you intend to keep hugging me? Are we still going home or not?”

“Fang Yuqing!”

Failing to receive a response for a long time, Chi Xia peeled the girl who was glued to her body away to take a look.

“Good, very good!”

What met her eyes was the sight of her sound asleep. This time she was truly exhausted; she definitely wasn’t faking it.

Chi Xia slowly curled the corners of her lips, a dark glint flashing through her eyes.

Fang Yuqing, just wait until you sober up. We will properly settle our accounts.

The woman’s cold sneer formed a sharp contrast with the sweet sleeping face resting in her embrace. In order to ensure that Fang Yuqing wouldn’t forget the events that transpired after drinking, Chi Xia stuck a sticky note onto her phone.

Come to my room the moment you wake up. You dare not come? Don’t make me personally come capture you.

It was “capture,” not “find.”

This single word was already extremely telling of the situation.

Therefore, when Fang Yuqing laid eyes upon this sticky note, her eyes instantly went blank with shock.

The person who threw a tantrum, cried, and even kissed her finger… was me?

“I must have been possessed.”

Suddenly, the sound of the doorknob turning echoed out. Fang Yuqing’s eyes widened in sheer terror. Following that, her mind went blank, and she immediately pulled the covers over her head to continue faking sleep.

I am asleep, do not disturb.

Nobody come in, whoever comes in gets bitten!
