What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

—Xing’er would never have imagined that her favorite Princess Nanzhu would engage in such a thing.

What she couldn’t understand was who this man was and how he had walked in.

But now was not the time to think about it. She had to make a choice now, whether to report it or to hide it for Princess Nanzhu.

With little hesitation, Xing’er chose to hide it for Princess Nanzhu.

She had grown up watching Nanzhu and knew her character very well.

A child like her would never be able to do anything harmful to heaven and earth, and if she did, it would be a mistake of heaven.

For example, now.

Living for a long time in the nearly cold Linxuan Palace, where she was clearly the princess of honorable status, but no one ever cared. No one ever cared.

Xing’er didn’t want to complain about anything.

Nanzhu’s own father and mother were gone, and it was not surprising that she had ended up in such a state.

Since so far no one cared, no one would ever care.

Live your own life.

She quickly recovered from her shock and hurriedly found a random topic to say to Meng Qingrou, “Has the princess eaten yet?”

After saying that, she regretted it, as she had clearly just eaten half an hour ago.

Meng Qingrou was very nervous at the moment, and didn’t hear anything wrong with Xing’er’s words.

“Ah, I… I’ve eaten.”

He Yunxiao hurriedly transmitted his voice, “Stupid girl! Haven’t eaten. I haven’t eaten yet. Let her cook.”

Meng Qingrou hurriedly changed her tone again, “No, I haven’t eaten. Xing’er, please prepare the meal.”

“Oh oh.” Xing’er hurriedly agreed.

Remembering that he had bought two fish. He Yunxiao transmitted his voice again, “I bought fish, have her make fish porridge.”

Meng Qingrou said, “I bought fish, ah no, it’s me, I caught fish in the lake. Xing’er, make the fish porridge.”

Xing’er: “Oh uh, okay.”

She immediately retreated with the fish and even took a deep look at the few packets of leftover snacks on the table.

He Yunxiao waited for Xing’er to exit before coming out at ease.

It was true that ‘Not a family, do not enter a family’. I didn’t expect that not only Nanzhu’s wife was foolish, but Nanzhu’s maid was also foolish. (Notes: A proverb, meaning that people who can live together tend to have similar temperaments, styles, and similar interests. Otherwise it will be difficult to get together.)

It was quite outrageous that Nanzhu’s wife had fooled her.

He Yunxiao resisted the desire to spit and said to Meng Qingrou, “Miss Nanzhu, when are we going to cure the poison?”

Meng Qingrou said, “Has Young Master Xiao not eaten? The Soul Devouring Pill’s antidote cannot be taken on an empty stomach.”

He Yunxiao:?

Crap?

The thing I made up to fool Chu Chu at the time was actually true?

It really can’t be taken on an empty stomach.

Meng Qingrou walked ahead, took He Yunxiao’s hand and said, “Let’s make the medicine first and then wait to see if Xing’er’s fish porridge to be ready.”

He Yunxiao nodded his head.

It seemed that as soon as they got to the medical arts, which was Nanzhu’s wife’s area of expertise, his wife’s intelligence would come back.

So, Meng Qingrou pulled He Yunxiao along as she walked through the Linxuan Palace.

After passing several empty places, the fragrance of medicine began to grow stronger.

In Linxuan Palace, there was a room dedicated to storing medicinal herbs. The huge herb cabinet was covered with small drawers for herbs. Scattered pill boxes and pill racks were everywhere. The herbs were placed very neatly, and in terms of the wide variety, they were even a little more abundant by ordinary pharmacies.

“Did you make all this?”

He Yunxiao was a little shocked.

Meng Qingrou said with some embarrassment, “Most of it was made by my mother, Nanzhu just fiddled around with it.”

He Yunxiao laughed and said, “If you had made it casually, I wouldn’t dare to let you treat it without worrying.”

When Meng Qingrou saw that He Yunxiao was about to give up again, she hurriedly said anxiously, “No, no, Nanzhu has been working very hard on it.”

He Yunxiao stroked her head and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t blame you even if you cure me to death.”

Meng Qingrou was dissatisfied, “Young Master Xiao, don’t look down on my medical skills like that. Doctor Wei said that Nanzhu is very powerful.”

He Yunxiao said dotingly, “Alright. My Nanzhu is the best.”

Meng Qingrou blushed and said, “It’s not yours yet.”

The two of them spoke shamefully as they walked to a medicinal pot where the soup was boiling.

Meng Qingrou pulled He Yunxiao down and took the long-prepared, crushed leaves and poured them into the jar of medicine. Afterwards, she put on water, lit a fire, and boiled it.

When He Yunxiao saw her like this, he said, “So Miss Nanzhu knew I would be coming. Even the herbs are ready.”

Meng Qingrou said defiantly, “No. I just took out the leftover ones from before.”

He Yunxiao: “I’m not eating anymore, I’m leaving.”

“No, no. It was Nanzhu who made it in the afternoon.”

Looking at Nanzhu’s cute look. He Yunxiao said he couldn’t bear it anymore. With a force in his hand, Meng Qingrou’s entire body, was brought into his arms by his gentle strength.

He Yunxiao held Nanzhu’s hand in his right hand and wrapped his left hand around her slender waist, allowing her entire body to sink into his arms. Then, lowering his head, he buried his face in the hair behind her ear.

Nanzhu’s scent, like her personality, was a light and gentle medicinal fragrance. At first smell it did not feel like anything, but the more you smelled it, the more intoxicating it became.

“Nanzhu, I like you.”

[Meng Qingruo’s favorability level changed from 88 to 92]

Meng Qingrou’s face was as intoxicated as she squirmed her body in He Yunxiao’s arms, and her right hand, which was not held by He Yunxiao, was gently pushing him back.

But it was no use.

His breath on her ears and neck tickled and tickled her heart.

After a couple of pushes, she felt that she couldn’t use any strength in her body.

It was like a peony on a rainy day, soft and squishy.

Her tone was also soft, “The medicine is ready. You have to take it out as soon as the water boils, it can’t be boiled for long.”

He Yunxiao regained his senses and finally let go of her.

Meng Qingrou was like being pardoned, and hurriedly squatted down to put out the fire for the medicine jar, then took out a bowl and dispensed the freshly boiled water into it.

“After eating in a while, when the water cools, you can drink it. It should be taken once a day, not intermittently.”

He Yunxiao wondered, “So simple?”

Meng Qingrou said, “Take it twice first, see the effect, and then we can decide as to whether to add more medicine or increase the dosage.”

The two of them waited for the water to get a little colder, and then He Yunxiao took it back.

On the way back, they walked hand in hand in silence. No one spoke much.

When they arrived at Meng Qingrou’s room, they waited for some time for Xing’er to bring the food over.

Meng Qingrou then said: “We can’t wait for the medicine to get completely cold. Why don’t you have some snacks first?”

He Yunxiao snickered, “Is Nanzhu willing to let me eat?”

Meng Qingrou hummed, “Naturally, I do.”

He Yunxiao said, “Then you can feed me.”

“I.. you obviously have a hand.”

He Yunxiao tucked his left hand under his leg and said, “It’s gone now.”

He Yunxiao continued to urge, “If you don’t feed me, the medicine will get cold soon.”

Meng Qingrou’s character was really eaten to death by He Yunxiao.

When she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, so she picked up a piece of pastry with a face full of hesitation and entanglement and brought it to He Yunxiao’s mouth.

How could He Yunxiao let her off so easily?

He opened his mouth directly and took the pastry plus the fingers into his mouth.

The sudden wet and hot sensation made Meng Qingrou’s entire body tremble, and she subconsciously cried out in shock, then looked at He Yunxiao with a face full of shame and anger.

“I, I, I’ll bite you to death!”

Meng Qingrou opened her mouth lightly and nibbled on He Yunxiao’s arm.

Since it was through his clothes, to be honest, it didn’t hurt. It was a bit itchy.

He Yunxiao pretended to be in pain and begged for mercy, “Ouch, ouch, don’t bite, I’m wrong. Miss Nanzhu, I’m sorry.”

I was wrong, next time I dare to do it again!

After ending the nonsense, He Yunxiao endured the bitterness of the medicine and drank the bowl of medicine down forcefully.

“It’s so bitter.” He complained.

“Just get used to drinking it.” Meng Qingrou smiled and comforted.

As He Yunxiao watched her, he thought, with such superior medical skills, she was all trying to cure her own hemophilia, right?

I guess, all these years, she had gotten used to eating these bitter things, right?

He Yunxiao didn’t want her to suffer and be aggravated any more.

Making up his mind, he said, “Nanzhu, I am actually not Xiao Yun, I am He Yunxiao.”

To He Yunxiao’s surprise, Meng Qingrou had little reaction.

On the contrary, she was puzzled and said, “You are He Yunxiao? That’s not right, He Yunxiao came here this afternoon. Why do you call yourself He Yunxiao, Young Master Xiao?”

He Yunxiao????.

“He came here this afternoon?”

“Yes.”

“What did he look like?”

“Well…not as good looking as the rumours. Plain and simple, not fat, long face, small eyes..”

The corner of He Yunxiao’s mouth twitched and he thought, ‘No way’

He continued to pursue: “What kind of clothes did he wear?”

“White sleeves, blue coat..”

Cao!

It was Li Jin!

What is this guy doing pretending to be me?

Oh no, I’ve become a double!
