WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE? Villain in love 18

Minyu flinched

FLASHBACK – HIGH SCHOOL, YEARS AGO

Familiar man [high school]

I just wanna touch you once, Minyu... just once... come on…

Minyu [high school]

GET AWAY BASTARD *punches him*

Familiar man [high school]

*falls back*

Zhaoran burst through the door

Minyu eyes were teary while boy nose was bleeding, he didn't say anything he just kept punching the boy

Over and over and over. Blood splattered on the walls

Zhaoran’s white uniform was stained crimson

His knuckles cracked open. Not from his own pain. But from breaking the bastard’s bones

Zhaoran [high school]

HOW DARE YOU TRY TO TOUCH MY SISTER WITH YOUR FILTHY HANDS

Minyu [high school]

*startled*

Familiar man [high school]

L...eave.....

And when the man tried to stab him with a pen-knife— Zhaoran took the hit

Minyu [high school]

GEGE!

It wasn’t deep

But Minyu saw it. The blood

Zhaoran [high school]

I....am okay *faintly*

That moment—the blood, the rage, the violence—burned itself into her soul

PRESENT – BACK TO THE ALLEY

Ruoxian turned slowly, still shielding Minyu behind him

He was about to move— But a loud panting voice interrupted

Tang Zhaoran

MINYU!

He came running, stumbling to a stop, eyes blown wide in panic His shirt half-untucked, hair disheveled. Eyes wild

Minyu gasped "Ge.."

Zhaoran ignored Ruoxian, ignored the bastard on the ground. His eyes were on her

He was crying

Tang Zhaoran

I—I couldn’t get to the phone—I ran—I—

She tried to run to him, but Ruoxian held her gently. She looked up, eyes pleading

Zhaoran stepped forward, and without even touching her, he just said—

Tang Zhaoran

Take her to the car

Jiang Ruoxuan

*eyes narrowed*

Zhaoran’s jaw clenched. His voice was deadly quiet

Tang Zhaoran

Take. Her. To the fucking car

Ruoxian’s gaze flicked to the bastard, then back to Zhaoran

Tang Zhaoran

It's gonna get real bloody

Jiang Ruoxuan

*He looked at Minyu—still trembling, still clinging Without another word, he swept her up into his arms gently, her head resting on his chest*

She didn’t even protest. She buried her face in his chest

After they left

Familiar man

No...no...dont come near.. Me

Familiar man

You monster

Zhaoran cracked his knuckles

His voice was low, guttural, unrecognizable

Tang Zhaoran

Let's have fun, shall we?

CRACK. CRACK. CRACK

The man didn’t scream. He couldn’t

Teeth were gone. Bones were breaking. And Zhaoran didn’t stop

The street was dim now, silence draped over the aftermath. The only sound—Minyu’s soft breathing in the backseat of the sleek black car

Ruoxian stood quietly outside, leaning against the car

His sharp eyes flicked to the side— There

Tang Zhaoran

*enters with bloodied face and clothes*

Bruised knuckles. Bloodied shirt. Eyes not wild now… but dull. Exhausted

Jiang Ruoxuan

She is in the car

Zhaoran closed his eyes in relief. His voice came out low

She can’t. She has… a phobia. Of blood. When she sees it, she gets panic attacks. Breathing issues. It’s—bad

Jiang Ruoxuan

Understood... *softly*

Jiang Ruoxuan

What’s your clothing size?

Zhaoran blinked, confused

Jiang Ruoxuan

Shirt. Jacket. Pants. Tell me *Ruoxian looked at him dead serious*

Tang Zhaoran

It's.... Large

Jiang Ruoxuan

*He just raised his phone and made a call*

Ten minutes later—

A black car pulled up

Lai stepped out holding a perfectly wrapped designer bag. One of those brands that didn’t even show price tags—if you had to ask, you couldn’t afford it

Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]

Here, is your order, sir

Jiang Ruoxuan

Give it to him *waves at Zhaoran*

Tang Zhaoran

What the fuck with this clothes?

Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]

Limited edition. Imported from Italy

Tang Zhaoran

I don't fucking care *takes the bag and walks away*

Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]

Sir, you want me to take care of that bastard

Jiang Ruoxuan

He is my brother in law, becareful with your words in future

Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]

Oka- what? Brother in law? *eyes widened*

Zhaoran changed behind the car quietly. Clean shirt. Tailored pants. The damn thing fit perfectly

Tang Zhaoran

*He didn’t say anything, just slipped into the back seat beside Minyu, who was still unconscious*

Ruoxian opened the passenger side door to get in— But just as he sat down

Minyu shifted. Her soft body leaned. Head resting right on his shoulder.

Ruoxian froze. His eyes widened. His body locked like a statue

Jiang Ruoxuan

*He didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Didn’t breathe*

Ruoxian’s fingers dug into his own thighs to resist the urge to even adjust. Not even a flinch

In the front seat, Lai noticed through the mirror. He glanced at his boss. Then quickly looked away, biting his tongue. He didn’t dare laugh. Didn’t dare speak.

Zhaoran, sitting beside them, noticed too. He sighed and leaned forward, gently lifting Minyu’s head and resting it on his own shoulder

Tang Zhaoran

She is my sister stop holding your damn breath

Ruoxian slowly exhaled, then looked out the window, eyes stormy

But his ears were red
