WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE?
Villain in love 14
Arielle stood up so fast her drink spilled
Arielle Sky
What the fuck is he doing here?
Arielle Sky
*moves towards Siheng and Zhaoran*
Ruoxian didn’t stop walking.
Didn’t even pause
He made a beeline toward Minyu like the world didn’t exist.
Minyu blinked as he stopped right in front of her.
Lian Minyu
Rouxi!
*smile lit up*
He nodded, just barely, voice low and too gentle
Jiang Ruoxuan
I was just passing by
Zhaoran was already stepping closer
Minyu smiled, unaware of the silent chaos brewing behind her
Lian Minyu
I’m glad. I was just thinking of texting you
Jiang Ruoxuan
You were?
*heart beating faster*
Lian Minyu
Yeah. I… was wondering how your hand’s doing
Jiang Ruoxuan
Fine. Much better now
As they moved toward the benches, Arielle grabbed Zhaoran’s arm
Arielle Sky
Forget Siheng. That man doesn’t even flinch when people look at him—but he’s literally soft-spoken for her
Zhaoran’s jaw clenched, eyes burning into Ruoxian’s back
Minyu patted the space beside her on the bench, her bright smile glowing in the golden afternoon light.
Lian Minyu
You’re already here, might as well enjoy the sun
Jiang Ruoxuan
*He sat down gracefully, every movement silent and clean*
Before he could even pretend to get cozy, Zhaoran, Siheng, and Arielle appeared out of nowhere like a tactical SWAT unit
Arielle crossed her arms, her sunglasses pushed up to glare directly at Ruoxian’s soul
Siheng didn’t speak. His eyes were locked on Ruoxian like he was calculating the exact distance between his fist and Ruoxian’s face
Ruoxian, on the other hand, stood up the moment they arrived.
Expression unreadable—but his eyes? They slid to Zhaoran
Minyu, smiling wide, gestured between them
Lian Minyu
Ah—Ruoxi, this is my brother, Zhaoran
Lian Minyu
And his, best friend, Siheng
Jiang Ruoxuan
Brother?
*His voice was calm, but there was something in his tone… too soft. Too pleased*
Jiang Ruoxuan
*He reached out his hand*
Jiang Ruoxuan
Nice to meet you, Zhaoran
Minyu elbowed him sharply
Zhaoran finally extended his hand, gripping Ruoxian’s just a bit too tight
Tang Zhaoran
Nice to meet you too
Ruoxian didn’t even flinch. He smiled like he’d just been accepted into the family
Jiang Ruoxuan
*Turns to Siheng*
Jiang Ruoxuan
Friends of the family?
Ruoxian’s smile didn’t falter, but something cold flashed in his gaze
Meanwhile, Arielle stood off to the side, arms crossed, muttering to herself
Arielle Sky
He’s already acting like he met his future in-laws. What the fuck is this, a Netflix slow burn thriller?
The campus was drenched in that golden hour haze, casting soft amber light over the path lined with cherry blossoms fluttering in the breeze.
Minyu walked calmly, her arm looped through Zhaoran’s because he insisted on walking her to the gates.
Her brother’s eyes flicked around the area like a guard ready to shank anyone who got too close.
Trailing just behind them was Arielle, arms crossed, jaw tense.
And beside her, quiet as a shadow, was Siheng—his hands in his pockets, gaze darkened with quiet jealousy, every step heavy.
Jiang Ruoxian.
And walking at the very back… like death in a tailored coat…
Tang Zhaoran
You sure he’s not bothering you?
*Zhaoran glanced sideways at Minyu*
Minyu shook her head, smiling.
Lian Minyu
He’s just polite. Don’t be so suspicious, gege.
Behind them, Ruoxian's lips quirked upward. He liked that.
Her calling Zhaoran ‘gege.’
It meant he wasn’t that.
Arielle was giving him the dirtiest side eye known to man
Siheng? Just glaring at him like Ruoxian owed him money
Minyu turned, noticing him standing awkwardly a few steps away
