WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE?
Villain in love 19
The car rolled to a gentle stop at the Tang estate
Zhaoran got out, carefully lifting Minyu in his arms. Her head tucked against his chest as he carried her like something precious.
Tang Zhaoran
Thanks... for today
Jiang Ruoxuan
It's my pleasure
*smiles*
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
[he is smiling? Did I see right? And it's not a psycho smile too!]
Yaqin arms crossed, but before she could speak—
His eyes didn’t even meet hers. She stiffened, mouth snapping shut
Zhaoran laid her down softly, brushing strands from her face.
He knelt beside the bed. Took her hand
Tang Zhaoran
I am sorry...... I should have come sooner
And just like that—
Still on his knees. Still holding her hand
The warm morning sunlight filtered through the curtains of Minyu’s room.
Soft, gentle. A contrast to the storm that had passed the night before
Minyu sat on the bed in fresh clothes, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders
Her friend rushed in, a bit breathless, carrying a bag from their favorite bakery
Arielle Sky
I’m so fucking sorry I didn’t pick up last night
*Arielle said, guilt written across her face*
Arielle Sky
I had no signal and my phone was—ugh
Siheng followed right after, quiet but equally apologetic
Jin Siheng
We brought cake
Lian Minyu
It’s okay, really. I’m fine now
*soft smile*
As she opened the cake box with a thankful little giggle, her phone buzzed beside her
[Rouxi: How are you feeling?]
She smiled gently and began typing a reply
Arielle, curious, leaned closer
Arielle Sky
Who’re you texting?
Arielle’s face darkened like the sun just went out
Arielle Sky
Why that marshmallow killer looking face?
Before Minyu could say anything back—
His eyes—bloodshot.
His face—tired.
Dark circles carved beneath his eyes.
He just walked straight to the bed, dropped down behind Minyu, and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Zhaoran rested his forehead against her shoulder
Tang Zhaoran
Let's stay like this for now
Arielle stared at him like he was insane
Arielle Sky
Seriously? Right in front of us
Jin Siheng
He really is hopeless when it comes to her
*Siheng chuckled awkwardly, biting into a piece of cake*
Far from warmth and laughter—
deep beneath the city’s surface, in an isolated chamber reeking of blood and steel—
The man who once dared touch Minyu…
was tied to a chair.
Naked. Broken.
Already beaten. Bones cracked.
Ruoxian stood before him. Hair slicked back. Sleeves rolled
The gang members nearby couldn’t even look. Some turned away, hands trembling
“…What the fuck did he do?” one whispered.
“To be tortured directly by Boss… must’ve messed with someone sacred,” another muttered.
Lai stood nearby—
face composed,
gloves on,
holding a tray of tools no normal man could stomach.
And yet he passed each one to Ruoxian like it was an honored ritual
Ruoxian slowly circled the man
Jiang Ruoxuan
She is..
*He began softly, almost whispering*
He picked up a blade and ran it down the man’s arm with clinical precision
Jiang Ruoxuan
I don’t even dream of touching her skin without permission
*Ruoxian said, tone still gentle*
Jiang Ruoxuan
And you dared to put your filthy hands on her?
Familiar man
P-Please… please, I’m sor—
Ruoxian shattered a bone with his bare hand
Jiang Ruoxuan
No.... No apologies
Lai passed him a branding iron, glowing red at the tip. The gang members flinched
Jiang Ruoxuan
She’s the only pure thing I’ve ever known...my god
Ruoxian said, pressing it to the man’s chest.
Sssssssssss.
The room filled with the sound of sizzling flesh and raw agony
Jiang Ruoxuan
You’re not dying yet
*Ruoxian muttered*
Every scream was met with more.
Every cry answered with silence
Lai watched, lips curled in grim satisfaction.
He didn’t flinch. Not once.
He knew his master’s wrath was divine when it came to her.
The man finally slumped, dead.
But not before Ruoxian leaned in close and whispered,
Jiang Ruoxuan
You touched my god, now perish
The sun had started to set by the time the body was removed
Blood still clung to Ruoxian’s hands—sticky, drying, crusting beneath his nails.
His black shirt had flecks of red, and his shoes were stained with life he didn’t regret taking. And yet—
His phone buzzed once.
[Minyu: I’m okay now, thank you for checking up on me, Rouxi. You’re really sweet.]
