The Spoiled Little Beauty is Always Abusing the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration] 25

Chapter 25: The Spoiled Villain in a Period Novel 25

Huh?

Hearing this, Shu He’s beautiful, delicate face showed a hint of confusion as he stared blankly at Xu Nongqing.

A fiancée?

Both of these questions were so strange.

He was still dating Xu Nongqing right now. How could he have a fiancée?

Wouldn’t that make him a cheater?

Thinking of this, Shu He’s almond eyes blinked a couple of times. He guiltily looked away, a small dimple appearing on his lips.

Although he didn’t have a fiancée, he was indeed a cheater.

“Do you?” Seeing that he didn’t speak, Xu Nongqing stared at him and asked a second time in a low voice, “A childhood sweetheart fiancée.”

“No.”

Shu He rubbed his head against the pillow and answered in a muffled voice, “How could I have a fiancée? Why would you think of such a strange question?”

Hearing this, Xu Nongqing gazed at Shu He for a few seconds, his dry throat bobbing up and down.

But it was still a little hoarse.

“Qiao Zelan said it.”

Shu He looked up in surprise. “Teacher Qiao?”

“Mm.”

Xu Nongqing lowered his eyes and took Shu He’s hand again, holding it in his.

He said, “He said it yesterday. He said you have a childhood sweetheart fiancée.”

“I don’t. Why would he say that?” In Shu He’s impression, Qiao Zelan didn’t seem like the type to talk nonsense, so he was a little confused. He even sat up in bed, his eyes wide, looking even more like a cat. “I’ve only known him for half a year. How would he know about these things? Could it be…”

Shu He hesitated for a moment. “Could it be that my parents arranged a marriage for me without my knowledge… but I don’t have a childhood sweetheart fiancée.”

Xu Nongqing’s dark eyes were deep, savoring the word “fiancée” in his heart.

Piercing, bitter, unpleasant.

He held Shu He’s hand tighter. “Is Qiao Zelan lying?”

Shu He: “Then why would he lie like that?”

Yes.

Why?

Xu Nongqing lowered his eyes and didn’t continue this topic. He stared at the slender, beautiful hand in his for a few seconds, then lifted it and gently kissed it.

The scorching, distinct sensation on his fingertips.

Shu He couldn’t help but pull back.

Of course, he couldn’t pull it out. Xu Nongqing held on very tightly. After a moment, he said to him in a low, slow voice, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, he’s feeding our dog.”

Qiao Zelan, who was feeding the dog, sneezed several times in a row.

He had no mind to think about whether someone was talking about him behind his back, because the uncooperative dog in front of him had already exhausted all the energy of the internationally renowned violinist.

Little Fu wouldn’t eat a single bite.

Not only that, but when it smelled its master’s scent on Qiao Zelan, it started to bark wildly, as if it thought Qiao Zelan had kidnapped its master.

“Woof woof woof!”

Little Fu’s eyes were fierce.

Qiao Zelan hid behind the door, his patience gone. He sneered and said, “Keep barking, and I’ll have Little He throw you out and make you a stray dog.”

“Woof woof woof!”

Hearing the words “Little He,” Little Fu became even more excited. It put its front paws on the door and rammed it with its head, making a loud thudding sound.

Qiao Zelan crossed his arms and let it ram. He wasn’t going to do anything, but after a while, he was afraid something would happen if it kept ramming, so he had to say with a sullen face, “Your master will be back tomorrow.”

He didn’t know if it understood.

Little Fu stopped and squatted by the door, whining. Qiao Zelan sighed, raised his hand to look at his watch. It was getting late.

He paused for a moment and chose to stay in Wang Family Village to wait for them to come back.

The next day, Shu He and the others drove into the mountains. Like yesterday, the weather was misty, but it still hadn’t rained.

The dark clouds hung in the sky, making people feel heavy-hearted, wishing it would just rain heavily.

The car couldn’t drive into Wang Family Village and, as usual, stopped at the intersection. Shu He was taken back to his residence by Xu Nongqing, while Shu’s father and mother went directly to settle accounts with Wang Zhi.

For the past two days, Wang Zhi hadn’t been able to find a chance to go out.

Not only were there bodyguards at the door, but there were also some old people who vaguely knew the inside story wandering nearby, clearly also watching him to prevent him from running.

Whose relatives were these people?

The more Wang Zhi was cooped up, the more anxious he became. His chest was filled with frustration, and he cursed loudly. At first, he angrily said that it was illegal for them to block him and not let him out. Later, he racked his brains and kept staring at the back door, trying to find a chance to escape.

But the villagers were too cunning.

They stood guard and also condemned Wang Zhi for becoming like this, saying he was a man, and one sentence after another made Wang Zhi’s face turn red with pure anger.

He regretted it.

He shouldn’t have been so reckless.

At least he should have found a suitable time, when no one was around, to act.

Wang Zhi angrily punched the wooden door in front of him and kicked it a few times, pacing around the room like a headless fly.

His old man, Wang Xingguo, had also calmed down after two days of anxiety. He began to hold Wang Zhi’s hand and say calmly, “You’ll only be in there for a few years. You’ll still be young when you come out. It’s no big deal. Just don’t do this again in the future.”

Wang Zhi’s eyes widened.

A few years? No big deal?

It was easy for him to say!

Wang Zhi was so angry it took him a long time to say a word. “I didn’t even succeed. Why should I be in there for a few years?”

“Because his surname is Shu.”

Wang Xingguo rubbed his brow wearily. “Alright, alright, this is the best result. I’m just afraid I won’t be able to be the village head anymore. These past few years…”

“Old Wang, come out quickly. Shu He’s parents are here!”

!

Wang Zhi closed his mouth and didn’t dare to speak.

Wang Xingguo nervously rubbed his hands and cautiously walked out. Under the overcast sky, the Shu parents were blocking the door, their expressions no better than the gloomy weather. Two nights of watching over him had not calmed them down.

“Where’s Wang Zhi?”

Shu’s mother didn’t exchange pleasantries and looked at Wang Xingguo coldly. “Tell him to get his ass out here.”

Wang Xingguo’s face stiffened. He turned his head and saw Wang Zhi standing by the door, looking this way timidly.

Wang Zhi clenched his hands and gritted his teeth. He threw away all his pride and begged in a low voice, “I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I didn’t even succeed. I’ve learned my lesson. Please be kind.”

“You didn’t succeed because that Little Xu arrived in time!” Shu’s mother’s expression was icy. She didn’t know where he got the nerve to say these things. “If that Little Xu hadn’t arrived, what would have happened to our Little Shu? By then, a hundred deaths wouldn’t have been enough for you!”

Wang Zhi’s face turned pale.

Were they going to kill him?

Shu’s father looked at him coldly. “We’ve already called the police. Don’t think the police won’t handle this. The Shu family has plenty of people.”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body. He leaned against the door in a daze, his mind numb.

He desperately searched for a way to turn the tables, but when he thought of the Shu family’s connections and power, a sense of powerlessness, like a mountain pressing on his back, suddenly made it hard for him to breathe.

He had no way out.

At this moment, Wang Zhi really started to regret it.

How dare he?

How dare he think that Shu He wouldn’t dare to tell anyone and take such a risk?

But who could blame him? Shu He was too beautiful, too clean.

He just—

Wang Zhi’s thoughts paused. He suddenly remembered something and looked up abruptly.

A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he dragged another person down with him. “This matter is not my fault alone! There’s also Wang Wanwan. She’s the one who drugged him. At first, it was her…”

Wang Zhi spilled the beans, telling them the whole original plan.

Shu’s mother’s pupils shrank.

Her Little He had lived in such a scheming mountain village for a year?

Unprecedented anger filled the Shu family’s hearts.

At the same time, when Wang Wanwan learned that Shu He had returned to the village, she didn’t even think about it and immediately took her violin and walked out.

At the door, her steps involuntarily stopped.

What would Shu He think of her?

If she explained that she wasn’t the one who drugged him, would Shu He believe her?

But it really wasn’t her!

When Wang Wanwan arrived, Shu He was in the house, playing with the dog. The dog was already quite big, but he still held it like he did when it was a puppy, tucking it into his arms and calling it “Little Fu, good Little Fu” in a soft voice.

Little Fu was immersed in happiness, its tail wagging furiously as it stretched out its tongue to lick its master’s face.

Woof.

I like you.

“Little… Shu He.”

Wang Wanwan stood awkwardly at the door, watching this scene with unease.

Shu He subconsciously turned to look at her, his slender eyelashes lowered slightly. He held Little Fu and didn’t speak.

“Are you feeling better?” Wang Wanwan cautiously took a few steps closer, holding the violin in both hands and presenting it to him, looking at him with apprehension. “You didn’t take your violin with you. I brought it back for you.”

Shu He glanced at the violin, turned his head away, and ignored her.

He quietly puffed out his cheeks, his slender, beautiful fingers pinching the soft flesh on Little Fu’s cheeks, trying hard to hold it in his arms, just like when he was on other planets and always liked to lie in his parents’ fluff.

Little Fu sensed its master’s rejection and immediately turned to bark at Wang Wanwan. Wang Wanwan subconsciously took half a step back, looking at the fierce dog’s eyes, her heart suddenly racing, and she swallowed with a little fear.

She endured her trembling legs, endured the fear of the dog pouncing on her and biting her, and told Shu He, “I know you think I’m the one who drugged you.”

“But I really didn’t.”

“That day… I was thinking of doing that, but after talking to you, I gave up.”

“I didn’t know there was medicine in the bottle. It was Wang Zhi. He put medicine in all the drinks in my house. I threw all the drinks in the trash yesterday.”

“Shu He, I’m sorry.” Wang Wanwan choked a little. “I was out of my mind. I shouldn’t have had such bad thoughts about you. I’m sorry.”

Shu He pouted.

He sniffled, still not looking at Wang Wanwan, just turning his back to her, stroking the dog’s fur with his hand, and said in a small voice, “I used to think of you as a friend.”

Wang Wanwan burst into tears. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

Little Fu broke free from Shu He’s arms and was about to bite Wang Wanwan. Wang Wanwan was so scared she stumbled back a few steps, clinging to the door, wanting to ask Shu He if he would believe her.

But Little Fu didn’t give her the chance.

Little Fu barked fiercely a couple of times, completely chasing away this bad person who had bullied its master. It turned back and rushed into Shu He’s arms for a hug, panting with its tongue out, making whining sounds.

Shu He’s almond eyes were shimmering with a faint light. He lowered his head and pressed his face against the dog, rubbing Little Fu’s face hard, and said in a whisper, “Little Fu, you’re so good.”

Little Fu licked his fingers, its tail wagging like a propeller.

Wuwu.

Master is good.

*

After so many gloomy days, the autumn rain finally arrived late.

The rain was heavy, blocking the Shu family’s way out of the mountains. Originally, Shu’s father and mother had planned to deal with Wang Zhi as soon as possible, but because of the rain, they had to temporarily stay in Wang Family Village.

As for Wang Wanwan, they had also gone to find her yesterday. The girl had cried and told them the whole story, including who had drugged him. Shu’s mother couldn’t tell if she was shirking responsibility or being sincere. With insufficient evidence, she couldn’t grasp the right degree of punishment.

Shu He held the dog.

He tilted his head slightly and said in a small voice, “I used to think of her as a friend.”

Shu’s mother was silent for a few seconds. “And now, Little Bao?”

“Not anymore.”

He clutched the dog’s fur. He wouldn’t be friends with someone who bullied him.

“Mom understands.” Shu’s mother wouldn’t deal with Wang Wanwan.

Others didn’t understand, but she understood her Little Bao. He was the softest-hearted.

“We’ll leave when the rain stops.” Shu’s mother reached out and stroked Shu He’s head. Xu Nongqing was cooking in the woodshed. Thinking of this child, she paused again and said, “That Little Xu child, you probably won’t see him again in the future.”

Shu He nodded.

Shu’s mother: “Should Mom talk to him? We can take him to the Capital and arrange something for him to do.”

“No need.”

When it came to business, Shu He perked up a little, his delicate little face gradually growing serious.

It was time to break up.

However, this rain lasted for an unprecedentedly long time.

For three consecutive days, the rain still hadn’t let up.

Shu’s mother and the others could only temporarily stay at another villager’s house. She was a little unaccustomed to this dilapidated environment and felt uncomfortable all over.

But when she thought of how her Little Bao could stay here for a year, she felt so proud.

Her Little He was so strong!

In addition, there was another person who had driven all the way from the Capital to Wang Family Village.

That was Xu’s mother.

She hadn’t been able to contact Xu Nongqing for five days and had to drive over to see the situation.

Xu’s mother’s arrival was unexpected.

Xu’s mother also didn’t expect to run into Shu He’s parents here, and was surprised to learn of the help Xu Nongqing had given a few days ago.

This was a big favor!

She had to repay the kindness!

Xu’s mother was a shrewd businesswoman. The first time she saw Shu’s father and mother, she had already thought of doing business with them.

She was also very cautious and didn’t mention Xu Nongqing saving someone. She just treated it as making friends and chatted with them on this rainy day with nowhere to go.

They talked about business, family, and children.

What Xu’s mother didn’t know was that when Shu’s mother learned that she had abandoned her child in the village, she had already lost the heart to continue their friendship.

Even if she was Xu Nongqing’s mother, it didn’t matter.

It was Xu Nongqing who had saved him.

She could give Xu Nongqing benefits.

If his mother was a good person, she wouldn’t mind helping out either. But unfortunately…

Although there was a rift in her heart, Shu’s mother didn’t show it on her face. Her attitude just became a little colder, but she still responded to every sentence.

At least to outsiders, they seemed to be getting along very well.

Everything seemed very warm.

As if it was heading in a good direction.

At night, Xu’s mother also stayed at another villager’s house.

She had paid for it.

Here, there were only him and Xu Nongqing, plus a dog.

Little Fu was very obedient at night, lying quietly by the bed without making a sound. With the patter of rain outside the door, the room was quiet, and the dim yellow lightbulb hung on the wall, bright.

The weather was very hot.

Shu He had just taken a bath, his dark hair was wet and dripping with water.

He opened his sparkling almond eyes, drying his hair with a towel. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. The shorts were very short, revealing a large area of pale skin. When he climbed onto the bed, the fabric was slightly pulled, revealing the soft, pale skin of his inner thigh.

“Xu Nongqing.”

Shu He shouted, “Come help me dry my hair.”

Xu Nongqing was packing things in the next room.

Hearing this, he walked out. Under the dim yellow light, Shu He’s slender figure was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His almond eyes were moist, and he was looking up this way. The shoulder of his shirt was half-exposed, his skin pale and thin.

Xu Nongqing walked over, bent down, and kissed his shoulder. Shu He let out an unexpected whimper, his neck shrinking slightly. The next second, he was pulled into Xu Nongqing’s arms, and the half-dry, half-wet towel in his hand was taken by the other person.

The towel gently rubbed his soft black hair, the force just right.

Shu He turned his head and leaned against Xu Nongqing. Thinking of the words he was about to say, he hesitated for a moment.

It seemed that Xu Nongqing was not prepared at all.

If he suddenly broke up with him, would Xu Nongqing be so angry he would cry?

If he cried, would the protagonist still be willing to dry the villain’s hair?

Shu He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and still kept his mouth shut. His soft lashes were lowered, his cheeks slightly puffed out. He would let Xu Nongqing finish drying his hair first.

Xu Nongqing focused on drying Shu He’s hair, and also dried his face, which also had water droplets from his hair.

After drying, Xu Nongqing stared at Shu He for a moment, then bent down and kissed his soft lips, his thumb pressing against the pale, cool back of his neck.

Shu He trembled sensitively a couple of times.

He grabbed Xu Nongqing’s clothes, tilted his head up slightly, and the somewhat wet hair on his forehead was gently brushed away. The person in front of him leaned in and kissed him, then looked down at him, and repeated the cycle.

“…Xu Nongqing.”

Shu He’s voice was muffled as he called Xu Nongqing’s full name, his lips slightly pursed, the small dimples on his cheeks faintly visible.

Xu Nongqing looked down at him, his dark eyes very focused, as if he couldn’t look away. “Mm.”

“When the rain stops, I’m leaving,” Shu He said.

Xu Nongqing said, “Mm, I talked to my mother today. I also wanted to tell you that I’ll be doing business in the future and won’t be coming back to the village. I’ll come find you then.”

“Actually…” Shu He paused, hesitating.

He fiddled with his palm, clutching Xu Nongqing’s clothes, and mustered the courage to look up at the person in front of him.

His pale, delicate face was flawless under the dim yellow light, fragile and beautiful.

Xu Nongqing wanted to kiss him again.

He had even bent down.

But Shu He blocked his lips, his open almond eyes reflecting the man’s lowered, questioning gaze.

“What I really want to say is.”

Their gazes met briefly in the air. The next second, Shu He’s slightly nasal voice sounded:

“Let’s break up.”
