The Spoiled Little Beauty is Always Abusing the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration] 23p2

Chapter 23: The Spoiled Villain in a Period Novel 23 p2

Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Wanwan was sitting at home, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

She clearly hadn’t drugged him, nor had she done anything wrong. Logically, she shouldn’t have this feeling. Had Shu He gotten home?

Wang Wanwan picked at her hands uneasily, her gaze darting around, and then landed on the glass of wine on the table that Shu He had only taken a sip of.

She took the glass and stared at it for a while. Thinking of something, the string in her mind suddenly snapped with a crack. Her hands were trembling a little.

With a crash, Wang Wanwan couldn’t hold onto the glass. The wine inside instantly splashed out, soaking her all over.

She didn’t care. Instead, she stood up from her seat with a panicked expression, rushed to the cabinet with the drinks and wine, and opened the bottles one by one with trembling hands.

These drinks were all leftovers from the New Year.

Her parents were frugal and would save the drinks until they expired rather than open them. So the caps of these drinks should have been tight, not so easy to twist off.

Wang Wanwan hurriedly twisted open the bottle caps one by one and was devastated to find that they were all loose. She tremblingly raised her hand and held the bottle up to the lightbulb. Under the glaring light, Wang Wanwan clearly saw the residual powder at the mouth of the bottle.

“Then why don’t you go?”

“That’s fine too.”

When Wang Zhi had answered with those words, the look of longing in his eyes suddenly appeared in Wang Wanwan’s mind.

Wang Wanwan froze completely.

She could barely breathe. She could no longer hold onto the bottle in her hand and leaned weakly against the cabinet next to her. In her blurry eyes was the exquisite little violin Shu He had placed on the wooden table.

She couldn’t accept it.

She hadn’t done anything, yet she had been used as a tool, becoming the first culprit in hurting Shu He.

Wang Wanwan wiped her tears messily, propped herself up on the cabinet, and stumbled out. She wanted to chase after Shu He, but she didn’t know which road he had taken.

Shu He had been gone for too long.

Qiao Zelan still wanted to talk to Shu He about the violin, but after waiting and waiting, he couldn’t find him. He had to go out and look.

The old people by the stage had not yet dispersed.

They were still talking about how talented that child Shu He was, full of longing, wishing he was their grandson.

Qiao Zelan walked closer and listened for a bit, feeling quite proud. He was about to say something when he heard a female voice shout urgently, “Are you Shu He’s brother?”

Qiao Zelan frowned and turned around.

Wang Wanwan didn’t know Qiao Zelan, but she could see that he was very familiar with Shu He and was not from the village.

She could only pin her hopes on him. “Has Shu He gone home?”

Qiao Zelan saw her panicked state. “No. I came out to look for him because he was gone for too long. Didn’t he leave with you?”

Hearing this, Wang Wanwan was instantly filled with despair.

She was still mindful of the crowd around them and could only say vaguely, holding back tears, “Something happened to Shu He.”

Qiao Zelan’s eyes sharpened.

After they had walked a distance, Wang Wanwan finally had a chance to tell him her suspicions. Qiao Zelan had no time to get angry with her. Hearing this, he immediately went to find the bodyguards, only to find that all four of them were gone.

Xu Nongqing was also gone.

No one in the village knew the situation, only that a car had driven away. Qiao Zelan’s heart pounded. He paced back and forth, then suddenly asked Wang Wanwan, “What about that Wang Zhi?”

Thinking on the bright side, Xu Nongqing had arrived in time to help.

After all, Xu Nongqing hadn’t left at that time. He had been waiting for Shu He.

Wang Wanwan was so scared by Qiao Zelan’s gaze that she trembled and said in despair, “I don’t know.”

Qiao Zelan: “Take me to his house!”

Wang Wanwan didn’t dare to say anything and immediately led the way. At the same time, the first thing Wang Zhi did after getting up from the grass was to go home.

Wang Xingguo was drinking tea.

He was in a good mood tonight. After all, he was the one who had come up with this plan. That girl Wang Wanwan should be—

If it succeeded, he would have a share of the credit.

“Dad!”

Wang Zhi rushed in, covered in wet mud, looking extremely disheveled. He asked Wang Xingguo in terror, “I’ve gotten into trouble. What should I do?”

Hearing this, Wang Xingguo, who was about to scold him for his appearance, trembled, and the tea spilled from his cup.

Wang Xingguo knew his son’s shitty character very well. Seeing him so terrified, he knew it must be something serious.

“What did you do?” Wang Xingguo instantly stood up.

After all, this matter was not honorable. Wang Zhi was vague for a moment before telling him what he had done.

“What?!”

Wang Xingguo swayed and was about to faint.

Wang Zhi quickly went to support him.

Wang Xingguo, though physically weak, was strong-willed. He slapped him, his hand trembling as he pointed at him and cursed, “You’re really crazy. You’re a grown man, you, you—”

How dare he!

If that girl Wang Wanwan had succeeded, it would most likely have been fine, and the Shu family wouldn’t have blamed them.

But Wang Zhi?

What did Wang Zhi have? A dick. Could he get pregnant?

“You’re finished. Even your old man can’t save you!”

Wang Zhi covered his slapped face in terror. “I-I was possessed! I thought he wouldn’t dare to tell anyone, I didn’t expect a third person to suddenly appear!”

“Go!”

Wang Xingguo panted heavily, as if he no longer had this son. “The farther you go, the better. Don’t get caught. Don’t even pack your things. I’ll give you some money and you go.”

Wang Zhi was dumbfounded. “Is that necessary?”

He hadn’t actually hurt Shu He, had he!

It was an attempt.

Was this matter so serious that he had to leave his hometown?!

“Don’t you understand?” Wang Xingguo said in a rage. “Who did you mess with? Shu He, Shu He! Don’t you know how powerful his family is? While his parents don’t know about this yet, you should run as far as you can, understand? If they find out, do you think they’ll let you go?”

“I—” Wang Zhi’s face turned red.

“Get lost, get lost now.”

Wang Zhi’s mind was buzzing. He was pushed back several steps, unable to understand how things had gotten to this point.

He gritted his teeth, turned, and quickly walked out, but his steps were suddenly stopped.

Four people had appeared at the door at some point.

Two bodyguards, he had seen them before.

One of Shu He’s teachers.

And another… Wang Wanwan!

Wang Wanwan stood at the very back. She had already heard from the bodyguards that Shu He was fine. She breathed a sigh of relief, followed by boundless anger.

So disgusting!

No wonder that dead thing Wang Zhi had been so unpleasant to her before.

He was probably jealous because she was close to Shu He.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Qiao Zelan walked up to Wang Zhi, his angry eyes looking down at his panicked expression.

Two bodyguards quickly stepped forward and pinned Wang Zhi down.

Wang Zhi cursed angrily, asking if there was any law, were they going to publicly kidnap someone?!

Wang Xingguo stood by, not daring to breathe.

Even when he saw Qiao Zelan punch Wang Zhi, he, as his father, didn’t dare to make a sound. Wang Zhi was finished. He knew this clearly.

At this time, Shu He had already been sent to the hospital in Shuian Town.

His body was not just affected by the drug.

He was already frail, and now he was attacked by a stimulant drug. Shu He was so uncomfortable that he kept crying, his cheeks pink, his eyelids swollen. He lay in Xu Nongqing’s arms, feeling extremely wronged.

Both cold and hot.

When he was cold, he would curl up in Xu Nongqing’s arms, and Xu Nongqing would wrap him in a thin blanket.

When he was hot, he wished he wasn’t wearing anything.

But this car had no partition.

Xu Nongqing could only keep coaxing Shu He in a low voice, his eyes full of heartache.

They finally arrived in Shuian Town. He carried Shu He in to find a doctor and spent all his money to get Shu He a hospital room.

Half an hour later, the doctor told Xu Nongqing and the bodyguards that fortunately, the intake was not much, and it was not a big problem. After an injection and some medicine, he would be fine.

However, given that the patient was already in poor health, his physical condition would probably decline a notch.

When the doctor mentioned this, he shook his head with regret. “The patient’s physical condition was well-controlled before. He should have been taking medicine regularly, right? With long-term care, it’s not impossible for him to get better and better. But now… sigh.”

The bodyguard went out to make a call.

Xu Nongqing knew they were contacting Shu He’s parents.

He stood there for a while, his mind blank. After a long moment, he pushed open the door, walked in, and sat on the edge of the hospital bed.

Shu He was so pitiful.

He closed his eyes and cried to the system in his mind, saying he was so uncomfortable, so tired.

The system couldn’t maintain its previous persona as a cold guide at all.

It softened its voice to comfort Shu He, telling him it had points and could buy some useful medicine for him, but this was considered cheating, and it couldn’t use it often.

Shu He obediently let the system use the medicine on him.

This medicine could only solve Shu He’s current discomfort and could not completely cure his physical condition.

Shu He secretly made a note of it, planning to work hard on the mission and pay back the points to the system.

After comforting the host, the system opened the forum, took some points gifted by other systems, and bought a large amount of useful medicine for Shu He.

So what if it was cheating?

If it wasn’t discovered, then it didn’t count as cheating.

Just as the system was about to close the forum, it saw a few messages pop up in the fan club.

【: Bro, you haven’t posted a beautiful picture of my baby in three hours.】

【: Bro System, didn’t you used to share beautiful pictures anytime, anywhere? Where’s my baby? Are you trying to keep him to yourself?】

【: My host doesn’t even want to do missions without seeing my baby’s beautiful pictures. He’s already deeply in love with my baby.】

【System: Not in the mood. Turning on do not disturb.】

【: ?】

【: ? Has my Shu He baby been abducted by a stinky man?】

【: Don’t make random guesses, you upstairs. That’s so annoying. Now I’m not in the mood either.】

“…”

After taking the medicine, Shu He’s groggy mind cleared a little.

He couldn’t sleep.

His brow twitched. The hand held in Xu Nongqing’s palm struggled a little, and he opened his eyes.

Xu Nongqing came back from his daze.

He pressed Shu He’s somewhat cold wrist and leaned over to look at him. “You’re awake. Still uncomfortable?”

“I haven’t been asleep…”

Shu He’s voice was hoarse and a little weak. He pressed his somewhat pale lips together and turned with difficulty. “Xu Nongqing.”

Xu Nongqing looked down at him. “Mm.”

“Come closer,” Shu He said.

Xu Nongqing paused for a moment, then leaned over in front of Shu He. The distance between them instantly became very close.

Shu He had no strength.

But he still did his best to lift his head, lean in, and press a kiss on Xu Nongqing’s cheek.

A soft breath with a bitter, medicinal scent, a touch and then it was gone.

His hair also brushed against Xu Nongqing’s face, like a feather.

Xu Nongqing froze in place.

The grip on Shu He’s wrist tightened a little. His Adam’s apple bobbed. He turned his head to look at Shu He’s beautiful, moist almond eyes and asked after a long moment, “Why did you suddenly kiss me?”

Shu He wouldn’t say that he was trying to hook him and mess with his heart to increase the pain of the breakup.

Nor would he say that he was trying to earn points to pay back the system.

Shu He said matter-of-factly, “You’re always so sudden when you kiss me. There’s no need for so many reasons.”

Xu Nongqing held Shu He’s slender white hand.

He said, “I kiss you because I really like you. Was it the same for you just now?”

Shu He: “…”

Protagonist, you.

The little villain couldn’t answer that.

Don’t blame him for ignoring the question.

Shu He closed his eyes seriously and mumbled, “I’m sleepy, I’m sleepy, no more talking, no more talking…”

His lips suddenly grew warm.

Shu He’s eyelids twitched.

He didn’t open his eyes. He could only feel Xu Nongqing kissing his lips. The pressure was very light, and he didn’t pry open his mouth and mess around like before.

Xu Nongqing just gave him a simple kiss, then kissed his cheeks a couple of times, gently brushed the hair from his forehead with his hand, and said in a low voice, “Your parents will be here soon.”

Shu He listened to him quietly.

“Should I see them?”

Xu Nongqing’s voice was low and hoarse, sounding a little dry. “Can I see them?”

Shu He finally opened his eyes.

“You can,” he said. “You’ll see them anyway, right? You’re the one who helped me. My parents will thank you and give you a lot of money. They’re also going to Wang Family Village to deal with those bad people who bullied me…”

At this point, Shu He suddenly pursed his lips and stopped talking.

He turned his head away. Xu Nongqing lowered his head, took his hand, and kissed his fingertips. The scorching temperature shot through Shu He’s brain like an electric current. He looked at him in a daze.

“I don’t want money,” Xu Nongqing said to him.

Shu He: “Then what do you want?”

“Something more expensive.”

Xu Nongqing said greedily, “Something I need to spend a lot of money to buy, and might not even be able to get.”

What was that?

Shu He didn’t understand and looked at Xu Nongqing in confusion. But Xu Nongqing didn’t answer, just looked at him quietly, his dark eyes reflecting his sickly appearance.

Shu He closed his eyes.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Zelan drove to Shuian Town. The town was small, and there was only one hospital. He easily found the hospital room Shu He was in.

At that time, Shu He was already asleep.

Xu Nongqing was watching over him inside.

Qiao Zelan paused for a moment, but ultimately didn’t push open the door to disturb them. He turned and leaned against the wall outside the door, lost in thought. After a long time, he asked the bodyguard, “Have you contacted the young master’s parents?”

The bodyguard was smoking. Hearing this, he took a cigarette from the pack and handed it to him, then exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a bitter smile, “Of course, Mr. Qiao. After tonight, we’ll probably lose our jobs…”

The two bodyguards smiled bitterly.

In just a few short hours, they had aged several years.

This job was great. Following the young master and living in the village was very idle every day, so idle that they had forgotten their duties, forgotten the potential dangers in the village.

Qiao Zelan cursed a couple of times. “You deserve it.”

He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then disgustedly put it out. “What kind of cheap cigarette is this?”

“We don’t have money to buy good cigarettes.” The bodyguard thought this cigarette was already very good.

Qiao Zelan himself was an internationally renowned violinist and came from a good family. Of course he would look down on their cigarettes.

Qiao Zelan frowned, lowered his head, and stubbed out the cigarette in the trash can. He glanced at the no-smoking sign on the wall and attacked indiscriminately, “You can’t smoke in the hospital. Put it out.”

The two bodyguards: “…”

Where did your anger come from?

It’s not like you lost your job.

Qiao Zelan was purely angry that he wasn’t there at the time. If he had been there, Shu He wouldn’t have gone through this.

“How is his condition?” Qiao Zelan clenched his jaw.

The bodyguard told Qiao Zelan what the doctor had said. Hearing this, Qiao Zelan’s frustration grew even heavier.

He had said it. How could a remote mountain village like this be safe?

When Shu He’s parents arrived, he would take Shu He far away and have less to do with the people here.

The next morning, the few people who had stayed up all night outside the hospital room were unusually energetic. The bodyguard received a call from the two bosses saying they had arrived in town and asking for their specific location.

Qiao Zelan volunteered to go pick them up.

The moment Shu’s mother got out of the car, she only had time to hurriedly call Qiao Zelan “Zelan” and greet him. She was too anxious to exchange pleasantries. Of course, Qiao Zelan didn’t mind. He followed beside Shu’s father to the hospital, not forgetting to tell him the details of what had happened in a low voice.

“Little He—”

Shu’s mother pushed open the door.

She was sweating with anxiety and directly ignored Xu Nongqing, rushing to the bed to grab Shu He’s hand. “Little Bao, why is your face so pale? Huh? Are you very uncomfortable? Mom is here, don’t be afraid.”

Shu He, who was in the middle of arguing with Xu Nongqing about what he wanted for breakfast, hadn’t reacted yet.

His throat tickled and he coughed a couple of times. Shu’s mother immediately called for a doctor, almost losing her mind with anxiety. Beside her, Shu’s father, who usually looked more rational, was now the same as Shu’s mother, hurriedly asking the doctor who had rushed in how his child was.

The hospital room was in an uproar.

Xu Nongqing watched this scene silently, stood up, and retreated.

Qiao Zelan stood by the hospital bed, noticed his retreating back, and sneered.

He was out of place from the beginning.

If it weren’t for Shu He’s sudden whim to go to the countryside, they would have been two people from different social classes who would never have met in their lives.

It was just that Shu He was too easy to get along with.

It gave people the illusion that they could be worthy of him if they just worked a little harder.

After Shu He finally managed to calm his parents down, he turned his head and found that Xu Nongqing was gone.

He thought he had probably gone to buy breakfast.

So he started to worry about whether Xu Nongqing would buy the breakfast he wanted but wasn’t recommended to eat due to his physical condition.

“Little He, are you hungry?” Shu’s mother wiped her tears, pulled up the blanket, and tucked him in tightly. “Mom will go buy you breakfast. Your health isn’t good, so you can only eat something light. A bowl of millet porridge, and a glass of soy milk, okay?”

Qiao Zelan moved and said, “Auntie, you should have a good chat with Little He. I’ll go buy it.”

Shu’s mother: “You’re such a good child. Thank you for your trouble.”

“Wait.” Shu He hurriedly stuck his face out from under the blanket, his cheeks a little pale, and looked at him weakly. “Xu Nongqing went to buy it for me.”

Qiao Zelan: “…”

He said, why did this kid suddenly leave?

He thought he had given up, but it turned out he had gone to buy breakfast.

The hand hanging at Qiao Zelan’s side tightened a little, and then he sat down to the side without a word.

Shu’s mother recalled that when she first came in, there was indeed a young man sitting by Little He’s bed.

Because she was too anxious and hurried, she hadn’t paid much attention. Was that Xu Nongqing? The child Little He had specifically asked her to give a red envelope to before the New Year?

“Is he your friend?” Shu’s mother didn’t expect Shu He to have such a good friend in the village. “He seems like a nice person.”

“Mm,” Shu He answered vaguely, then added, “He’s also the one who saved me, Mom.”

“He is?” After her surprise, Shu’s mother immediately said, “Then we have to give him a reward. We really have to thank him. Otherwise, you…”

As she spoke, she started to choke up again.

Shu He said softly, “He’s a very, very good person, and he takes good care of me. You have to give him a big reward.”

If his parents were a little nicer to the protagonist, they wouldn’t be implicated in his evil deeds.

This way, the protagonist probably wouldn’t go after his parents, right…

Shu He thought hesitantly. Shu’s father and mother both nodded, saying they would definitely give a large reward.

Before long, the hospital room door was opened from the outside.

Everyone looked at the door at the same time.

Xu Nongqing had stayed up all night watching over Shu He, but at this moment, he still looked very calm and energetic. He was holding several portions of breakfast. He pushed open the door and met several pairs of eyes, including Shu He’s parents.

Xu Nongqing paused for a second, then naturally closed the door.

“Uncle, Auntie,” he called out the most appropriate titles.

He didn’t even have his usual coldness in front of outsiders. Instead, he politely and courteously said that he had bought several portions of breakfast for them.

“Thank you for your trouble.” Shu’s mother knew at a glance that Xu Nongqing was a good person. It was just that Little He’s condition was not good right now, and she didn’t have the energy to exchange pleasantries. She could only force a smile and take the breakfast.

Xu Nongqing had two portions left in his hand.

One was a light millet porridge, and the other was a meat bun.

The meat bun was greasy, and Shu He couldn’t eat it.

But Shu He just wanted to eat it.

For this reason, he had even shed a few small tears when he was arguing with Xu Nongqing in the morning, looking extremely pitiful.

“I’ll eat this…” Shu He’s small mouth pouted, about to take the meat bun.

Shu’s mother frowned, about to stop him, when she heard the young man say softly, “You can only have one bite, then eat the millet porridge.”

Shu He mumbled a little, but still reluctantly nodded.

Seeing this, Shu’s mother didn’t say anything more. She ate her breakfast, her chest feeling heavy, and went out for some fresh air.

When she returned to the hospital, she happened to run into Xu Nongqing, who had gone out to buy a drink for Shu He. The two met in the hospital corridor, and both of them stopped.

Xu Nongqing looked at Shu’s mother with neither servility nor arrogance. “Auntie.”
