WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE?
Villain in love 11
The breeze was light, sun dipping gently across the skyline. Minyu and Arielle strolled down a boutique-filled lane, hands wrapped around iced drinks, laughter spilling between them like warm syrup
Arielle was mid-rant about overpriced perfumes when Minyu paused
Lian Minyu
Wait.... Isn't that..
A black luxury car pulled up to the curb
And out stepped Jiang Ruoxian
Wearing a black turtleneck and a coat he didn’t need—but looked sinfully good in.
His gaze swept the street—then stopped the instant he saw her
For a man who made corpses disappear like shadows, he suddenly looked like he forgot how to walk
Arielle Sky
Isn't that the coffee guy?
Minyu smiled, waving politely
And hurried over—but still graceful. Controlled
He stopped just in front of them, voice deeper than before—but his ears slightly pink
Lian Minyu
Fancy running into you
His heart started beating crazy
Jiang Ruoxuan
Would… would you like to get coffee together?
His voice stutter a little
Minyu blinked. Arielle blinked harder
Ruoxian cleared his throat and added fast,
Jiang Ruoxuan
Both of you. I mean. If you’re free
Lian Minyu
Sure
*smiles widely*
Minyu picked up a piece of chocolate tart and offered it to Arielle, who waved it away
Arielle Sky
I’ll explode if I take another bite
Jiang Ruoxuan
*He was still holding his cup with both hands. Still hadn’t taken a single sip*
Just quietly staring at Minyu
Arielle Sky
[This dude didn’t even blink normally]
Arielle Sky
[And he’s been watching Minyu like she’s a damn sunrise]
Minyu turned to him again, smiling sweetly
Lian Minyu
Do you not like coffee?
Jiang Ruoxuan
I—I do
*Ruoxian answered too quickly, then froze*
Jiang Ruoxuan
I mean… I like this one.
Lian Minyu
I am Lian Minyu, and this is my best friend Arielle
Arielle Sky
*nod politely*
Jiang Ruoxuan
I am Jiang Ruoxian
Lian Minyu
Can I call you, Ruoxi?
*eyes sparkle*
Jiang Ruoxuan
I... I... Of... Course
*heart beating faster than before*
Lian Minyu
Okay, Ruoxi
*smiles*
Just then, Ruoxian accidentally knocked over the small sugar jar while trying to move his hand away. It tipped, spilling cubes across the table
Jiang Ruoxuan
Shit..
*He muttered, then looked at Minyu nervously*
Lian Minyu
It's okay, I will help you
Their fingers brushed while picking up.
Ruoxian flinched like he got electrocuted.
Jiang Ruoxuan
*stares at the hand she just touched*
Arielle Sky
[This man blushes one more time, I swear I’m calling an exorcist]
Arielle Sky
So… Jiang Ruoxian, what do you do for work?
*She leaned over the table slightly*
Arielle Sky
What kind?
*raises an eyebrow*
Jiang Ruoxuan
Private. Very private
The sun outside had begun to dip into soft amber. The three of them had laughed more than expected—mostly Minyu talking, Ruoxian smiling silently like every second was his fucking lifeline, and Arielle pretending not to be suspicious while already running a full background check in her head.
They finally stood up from the table
Minyu stretched with a content little sigh
Lian Minyu
That was fun. We should hang out again sometime.
His fingers clenched at his sides. His heart slammed so loud he almost missed his own voice—
Jiang Ruoxuan
I mean—can I have it. If you don’t mind. Only if you’re okay—if not that’s fine—
Arielle raised an eyebrow so high it could’ve hit the clouds
Arielle Sky
[don't tell me he is already head over heels for my baby]
Lian Minyu
You talk like someone’s holding you hostage
*giggles*
Minyu pulled out her phone, handing it to him
Ruoxian stared at the phone in his hand like it was a holy relic
He typed his number in so carefully you’d think one typo would detonate a nuke
