WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE?
Villain in love 15
For a second, he forgot how to speak
Jiang Ruoxuan
Y-Yes. I’m… good
Jiang Ruoxuan
I—yes. I’m… healthy
*Pause*
...Physically
Jiang Ruoxuan
Just— I wanted to say… thank you. For the napkin... You used for my burnt hand
Minyu nodded, not really understanding the intensity in his voice
Ruoxian’s hands fidgeted in his coat
Jiang Ruoxuan
I saved the napkin
Jiang Ruoxuan
I—It was a nice napkin
Arielle had to turn away so she didn’t burst out laughing
Arielle Sky
This guy is so done
Ruoxian finally looked at Minyu. And when she smiled softly
Like it was a divine punishment.
Like how dare something so radiant look at him
He opened his mouth to speak again
Jiang Ruoxuan
I...
*He panicked*
Jiang Ruoxuan
I hope you eat well tonight
Tang Zhaoran
Is he.... has some lose screws?
Minyu stared at him, confused
Ruoxian nodded like he just confessed a deep secret.
Then turned around.
And walked away.
Fast. Too fast.
Like he had to flee the scene of emotional crime.
Lian Minyu
..What just happened?
Arielle Sky
My girl, you just broke the brain of a grown-ass man
Jin Siheng
That guy is so weird
Tang Zhaoran
Weirder than you
Jin Siheng
Ya-- wait what?
The massive office was dead silent, dimly lit, not a soul daring to disturb the quiet
Except for the man at the center of it
Jiang Ruoxian, pacing like he was hunting someone
His fingers clenched around the phone
Message status: Seen
No reply
Lai Wexiu stood near the side, spine straight, eyes lowered respectfully
Jiang Ruoxuan
…It’s been twenty-four minutes
*Ruoxian muttered, more to himself than anyone*
Ruoxian stopped pacing. Turned
Jiang Ruoxuan
Do you think I said too much?
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
Sir, I believe your message was concise and appropriate
Ruoxian clicked his tongue.
Jiang Ruoxuan
She didn’t reply
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
She may be occupied, sir
Jiang Ruoxuan
I should’ve waited till morning. It’s late
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
You were concerned for her safety
Lai remained still, hands folded behind his back, silently praying to every god that she’d just fucking reply and save his boss from combusting
The phone lit up in his hand
Minyu:
> Yep! Got home safe. Thanks for checking.
Ruoxian stared at the message.
He didn’t breathe for three whole seconds.
Then slowly, ever so slowly, a small—barely noticeable—smile curled at the corner of his lips.
The sun was high, and the zoo buzzed with noise—children laughing, tourists clicking pictures, and animals lazing in their cages.
Zhaoran walked beside Minyu, eyes darting around like every squirrel was a potential threat
Siheng, casual in appearance but sharp-eyed, walked just a step behind.
Arielle, arms folded, expression screaming “I’m only here because Minyu asked me,” side-eyed the man stalking behind them like a silent shadow.
Jiang Ruoxian.
Suit impeccable, hair slicked back, and gaze?
Only one thing mattered in his entire fucking world—Minyu
Every laugh she let out.
Every time she leaned in to say something to Zhaoran.
Every time her fingers brushed her bangs back.
Ruoxian was watching like it was sacred
Minyu giggled at one monkey scratching its ass like it lost dignity in evolution
Lian Minyu
Hey, hey look—Ge, he looks like you when you lose WiFi
Tang Zhaoran
Ha-ha, so funny
*rolls eyes*
Siheng chuckled. Arielle smirked
Jiang Ruoxuan
*smiling seeing Minyu smiling*
