The Spoiled Little Beauty is Always Abusing the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration] 17

Chapter 17: The Spoiled Villain in a Period Novel 17

“Xu Nongqing wants to make you his wife, to marry you and live with you.”

“His intentions towards you are not pure, Young Master Shu.”

After speaking, Wang Zhi closed his mouth with a self-satisfied air and observed Shu He’s expression.

He was also very pleased with this move.

Regardless of whether Xu Nongqing actually liked Shu He, as long as Shu He went and asked, no matter what answer he got, a rift would eventually form between them.

Who knew, maybe Shu He would just abandon Xu Nongqing and go stay at someone else’s house.

Wang Zhi licked his lips, feeling a little excited.

The boy in front of him looked stunned.

Those beautiful almond eyes lifted slightly at his words, looking at him. His pleasant, youthful voice was full of dissatisfaction. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Shu He didn’t believe him and didn’t even know why Wang Zhi would say such a thing.

He furrowed his pale brow and slowly, logically refuted, “We’re both boys, what does that have to do with ‘like’? He hates me.”

Wang Zhi paused. “Hates?”

“Yes, we have a very bad relationship.” As Shu He spoke, he looked at Wang Zhi again, lifting his sharp chin slightly. “Just like how I hate you, my relationship with Xu Nongqing is just as bad.”

Wang Zhi: “…”

Wang Zhi’s excitement was cut short.

He didn’t believe it.

He didn’t believe it at all.

Who in the village couldn’t see that Xu Nongqing was very accommodating to this young master? He took him everywhere, and anyone who looked at him for too long would get a cold glare. Was that what you call “hate”?

Wang Zhi frowned, thinking that it was because Shu He had too many people who obeyed him, so if there was someone who didn’t quite go along with him, he would think that person didn’t like him.

It was normal for a spoiled young master to be like this.

In any case, Wang Zhi was not willing to let go of this opportunity to plot against Xu Nongqing. He sneered inwardly and said, also logically, “Is that so? Then he’s with you all day, and whenever I see you, I always see him too.”

“And one time, I saw Xu Nongqing eat the pear you didn’t finish.”

“If he didn’t like you, would he eat something you’ve eaten?”

“…”

Shu He didn’t speak.

He lowered his lashes, his face quietly turning red.

With anger.

What pear… that was him bullying Xu Nongqing!

If Xu Nongqing didn’t eat it, he would have made him pay.

Under the oppression of the villain, the protagonist naturally had to obey. Although Shu He couldn’t think of what he would have done to him if Xu Nongqing had refused to eat.

But that wasn’t important.

Because the person being threatened would imagine the painful consequences themselves. To prevent those painful consequences from becoming a reality, the protagonist naturally couldn’t go against him.

Shu He’s eyes flickered.

He touched his head, pretending to straighten his protagonist’s halo, telling himself that the Dragon King’s comeback was imminent, and with a single command, Wang Zhi would have to live in a doghouse.

“Stop talking,” Shu He said, turning his head away. “I definitely know what Xu Nongqing’s feelings for me are better than you do. If you say another word, I’ll have my bodyguards carry you into a doghouse to live with the dogs.”

So much protagonist aura!

Wang Zhi: “…”

Wang Zhi actually imagined that scene.

Only his third aunt’s family in the whole village had two dogs. The dogs had recently given birth to puppies, and the kennel was a mess, even smellier than a pigsty.

Wang Zhi’s imagination of the rich all came from TV.

In his impression, rich families really would do such things. So, Wang Zhi suspected that Shu He really would do it.

He clenched his jaw and said one last thing, “Then go ask Xu Nongqing, and you’ll know if I’m wrong.”

Shu He’s response was to hurry off to find Wang Wanwan, completely ignoring him. Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and stared at his back for a minute before following.

Wang Family Village had a large population, especially during the New Year when everyone, young and old, returned. Along the way, many children greeted Shu He, and Shu He responded to them all.

Before long, he saw Wang Wanwan and immediately ran over, his almond eyes sparkling as he pushed the red envelope into her hands. “Happy New Year.”

Wang Wanwan was very surprised.

She looked at the red envelope in her hand, then reached into her own clothes and took out an identical one. “What a coincidence, I was just about to go wish you a happy new year too. Here.”

Then she took the red envelope Shu He had given her.

Wang Zhi, who was behind them, felt his teeth ache.

In his eyes, Wang Wanwan was really too good at this. With a single red envelope, she could leave an impression on someone’s heart and invisibly strengthen their relationship.

Truly impressive.

Who knew, maybe in the end, Wang Wanwan really could marry into a rich family and become a young mistress.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi considered whether he should build a good relationship with Wang Wanwan or try to sabotage her.

Just like how he had plotted against Xu Nongqing.

He thought secretly, seeing Wang Wanwan in front of him glance at him. The two seemed to have finished chatting and were walking this way.

“Would you like to be a guest at my house?” Wang Wanwan confidently and generously flicked her hair and asked Shu He with a smile.

In her eyes, the exquisitely beautiful boy was eating candy with his head down, and even shared a piece with her, without any of the airs of a young master.

“I have to go back.” Shu He, with the candy in his mouth, declined the invitation.

Wang Wanwan took the candy, said thank you with a smile, and then offered to walk him back.

Shu He still shook his head.

The two were somewhat familiar now, but there were still many things Wang Wanwan couldn’t say. Wang Wanwan knew this, so to further close the distance between them, she naturally didn’t back down. Instead, she used her reborn brain to go back and forth with Shu He for a while, and finally succeeded in getting the opportunity to walk him back.

When she saw Wang Zhi, Wang Wanwan politely called him “cousin,” then ignored him, her attention still on Shu He.

Wang Zhi stood there and watched their retreating backs. His nose twitched, and he smelled the fruit candy in Shu He’s mouth.

He rubbed his pants, his mind racing with thoughts. He quickly threw down the shovel and walked towards home.

On the way, it was still Wang Wanwan who was looking for topics.

She didn’t want Shu He to see her as a country girl, as someone who had no hope with him. So along the way, she showed off her knowledge, including her work experience from her previous life.

Even getting a job from Shu He would be good.

Shu He was exceptionally good at providing emotional value. He would say she was amazing with his sparkling almond eyes, that she would definitely have a bright future. But other than that, there was nothing.

Not a single pink bubble appeared.

Wang Wanwan was starting to doubt herself, thinking that Shu He was a bit like the “steel straight man” popular on the internet in later generations. But looking at his face, she felt that the term didn’t quite fit.

Shu He suddenly stopped.

Wang Wanwan instinctively stopped with him and looked at him. She found that he was staring at the yard of the house next door, from which came a faint whining sound.

“It sounds like a puppy. Her family has a dog that recently gave birth to six puppies,” Wang Wanwan said. “Do you want to raise a dog?”

Shu He’s eyes lit up a little.

But he didn’t nod or shake his head. Wang Wanwan secretly made a mental note of it.

Soon, they reached their destination.

No matter how much Wang Wanwan didn’t want to, she could only stop here and say goodbye to Shu He.

“Mm, goodbye.”

Shu He walked towards home with sparkling almond eyes. He looked up and saw Xu Nongqing leaning against the door, looking down at him.

A cold wind was blowing outside, so cold it was bone-chilling. He didn’t know how long he had been standing there.

Shu He wanted to mention the puppies.

But as the words reached his lips, he paused again, thinking of Wang Zhi’s nonsense.

With hesitation, Shu He crunched the fruit candy in his mouth, turned, and walked towards the pile of white snow next to them.

Xu Nongqing instantly walked out. “What are you doing?”

“Building a snowman.” Just as Shu He was about to roll up his sleeves, Xu Nongqing firmly grabbed his hand and stopped him.

Shu He struggled. “What are you doing?”

“Your health is not good, you can’t build one.”

Xu Nongqing lowered his head and used his scorching palm to warm Shu He’s hand. The hand was icy cold, the fingertips so frozen they were a little white.

He lowered his gaze, his voice devoid of emotion. “If you want to see a snowman, I’ll build one for you.”

Shu He said, “Are you saying my health is not good, and I’ll get sick if I build one?”

“Mm.”

“But why do you care if I get sick or not?” Shu He tilted his head slightly to look at him.

The hand warming his paused for a moment. In his line of sight, Xu Nongqing responded with silence.

So Shu He lifted his face, his cheeks puffed out slightly, and pulled his hand away.

Xu Nongqing was lost in thought, and for a moment, he actually let him break free. The next second, he could feel Shu He’s somewhat cold hands cupping his face.

The cold sensation should have made his mind clearer than ever.

But for a moment, Xu Nongqing couldn’t think of anything.

In his line of sight, in his breath, there was only Shu He standing on his tiptoes, getting closer, and the soft, fragrant breath that escaped when Shu He spoke, luring out all the desire that was suppressed beneath his rationality.

“Xu Nongqing.”

“Do you like me?”
