WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VILLAIN FALLS IN LOVE?
Villain in love 20
Jiang Ruoxuan
…Sweet
*he murmured, voice cracking in disbelief*
Lai, who was wiping down the stainless steel tray, paused as he saw Ruoxian standing still, fingers frozen mid-scroll
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
Sir...?
Instead, he slowly sat down in the nearest chair, his back falling against it like he’d just been shot in the heart
The corner of his lips curved—gently, like the shyest sunrise. Then, slowly… a second buzz
[Minyu: Did you eat? Don’t forget to eat. You must be tired.]
Jiang Ruoxuan
Eat..... yes... I must eat
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
*confused*
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
[Now this cold-blooded tyrant looked like a lovestruck teenager staring at his crush’s text]
Ruoxian placed a hand over his chest
Jiang Ruoxuan
My heart
*mumble*
Jiang Ruoxuan
Why does it hurt so sweetly?”
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
.....
Gang members nearby whispered, stunned.
“Is that a smile?”
“Is Boss… blushing?”
“Holy shit, is this the end of the world?”
Ruoxian suddenly stood up, brushing the dried blood off his sleeves
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
Yes, sir
Jiang Ruoxuan
Clean this mess
Jiang Ruoxuan
*He added, pulling out his phone again and typing one word with deadly precision*
[Ruoxian: I’ll eat now. You should too]
Lai, reading over his shoulder, nearly passed out
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
[He is caring for someone other than his own self?]
Days had passed.
The death count had risen.
The gang’s enemies had fallen.
Blood had been spilled.
But the most terrifying transformation?
Jiang Ruoxian was smiling.
Daily.
Minyu had texted him again
[Minyu: Don’t catch a cold, Rouxi. It’s chilly these days.]
The message glowed on his phone screen
Ruoxian, sitting in his office surrounded by reports and bloodstained knives, was doing the impossible
He was blushing. Bright fucking red
His fingers hovered over the keyboard like the phone would explode if he replied too fast.
Jiang Ruoxuan
I should say thank you…
Jiang Ruoxuan
No, that’s too dry—
He stood up in panic and immediately—
Tripped.
Flat on his face.
Lai, who stood nearby holding a sealed envelope, didn’t even blink
He just exhaled through his nose, looked at the ceiling, and muttered in his soul:
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
This is my life now
“Boss,” one of the gang members said, slowly backing away.
“Did you just… fall?”
Ruoxian scrambled back up, fixing his collar like a gentleman.
Lai moved forward with a tissue box
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
For the nosebleed, sir
Jiang Ruoxuan
I didn’t get a nosebleed—
*drip*
Ruoxian grabbed the tissues in shame.
The rest of the gang members whispered among themselves.
“I’ve seen him stab someone for breathing wrong. And now he’s falling over love texts?!”
“Bro, he flinched when madam sent a voice message calling him ‘Rouxi’ yesterday like it was a damn death sentence.”
Later that evening—
Ruoxian sat cross-legged on the couch like a teenager.
His phone glued to his face.
His thumbs hovering.
Deleting and rewriting the same message over and over.
Jiang Ruoxuan
Should I use a smiley face?
Jiang Ruoxuan
…No, what if she thinks I’m a clown
Lai stood beside him with a blank face, holding a tray with tea and files
He stared at his Boss… then at the phone… then at the man who once ordered the beheading of a traitor mid-yawn.
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
Sir, your tea
*Lai said, dead inside*
Jiang Ruoxuan
Not now. She might reply
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
Sir, you said that 2 and half hrs ago
Jiang Ruoxuan
Shut up, before I throw you in the abyss
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
Yes, sir
[Minyu: I saw this cute café. Maybe we can go sometime?]
[Ruoxian: Yes. Anytime. I’ll be there. Just say the word.]
Then he threw the phone across the couch and screamed into a cushion
Lai Wenxiu[Ruoxian’s right hand]
I respect him. I fear him. But god, I pity him
Gang members walked by in silence, not daring to ask why their Boss was flailing on a designer sofa like a lovesick 15-year-old
