Blame the Villain – Chapter 52

Villainous Poor Student (17)

After the college entrance examination results came out, everyone thought He Siyu would apply for the Physics Department, seeing as how her performance in physics was well recognized by everyone.

No one expected He Siyu to actually choose the Mechanical Engineering Department.

Even though Mechanical Engineering is also a key subject supported by the country, He Siyu applying for this major still surprised everyone because her image seemed so incompatible with the Mechanical Engineering Department.

But at this point, no matter what major it was, everyone believed in He Siyu’s ability to excel, so their parents fully respected He Siyu’s interests and thoughts.

However, Song Xuyi felt a momentary sense of crisis upon hearing the news—everything seemed to have returned to the previous track in the original plot summary where He Siyu also studied Mechanical Engineering and later embarked on a research and development path…

He Siyu’s personality now is completely different from the original world…

Song Xuyi has actually been paying close attention to He Siyu’s movements. After the college entrance examination ended, He Siyu had a three-month holiday ahead of her. He Siyu isn’t someone who can stay idle. During the holiday, she enrolled in a driving school to learn how to drive, bought university-related professional guidebooks in advance, and also applied for two patents during her rest time.

After thinking it over, Song Xuyi also let go of her worries. She bought He Siyu the highest-configured laptop and smartphone as gifts and then continued with her busy work.

Ever since the platform launched an agricultural assistance section to help farmers get to know and learn how to use the platform, Song Xuyi and her team have been traveling to various villages all year round, only able to return to Huashi for one or two days a month.

August is the hottest time of the year. Since the plan was to start promoting the agricultural assistance section from within the province, Song Xuyi went deep into a village in the province known for its lychee cultivation.

This village is called Li Village.

Lychees are a fruit with strong seasonality. In the coastal cities, lychees are very cheap, but once transported inland, the price often remains high. And if not sold in time, many lychees will rot in the warehouse.

To open up the market for Li Village’s lychees next year, Song Xuyi and her team sponsored a few computers for the village, took related pictures in the village, and taught several young people how to build the back end…

It was thought that this would be a process that could be completed quickly. However, no one expected that the process would not go smoothly: the coastal area is prone to typhoons, and not long after Song Xuyi’s team arrived, Li Village was hit by a storm the next day.

The typhoon lasted for two or three days, and after the storm cleared, Li Village was hit by a disaster: a large number of lychee trees in the village were downed, some poor families’ houses also collapsed, and the village was without electricity.

Originally, the villagers were indifferent to joining NeighborNet Supermarket, thinking of it as just an additional sales channel. However, people’s hearts are made of flesh. After seeing the help from Song Xuyi’s team, the village became more proactive about the partnership: they proposed that the village chief take charge of market control and even registered as a merchant, putting some of the processed lychee dried fruits on NeighborNet Supermarket for sale…

Because of these delays, Song Xuyi ended up spending nearly ten days in the village, until her parents called, and she realized it was already her seventeenth birthday.

Now, with everyone in the village busy working, Song Xuyi didn’t want to reveal her birthday and receive special treatment that might hinder work progress, so she chose not to mention her birthday.

That day, Song Xuyi received many phone calls: from Father Song and Mother, Mr. Zhao, Brother Song, Song Han…

However, strangely, He Siyu, who always sent messages and called to wish Song Xuyi every year, did not send any congratulations.

He Siyu probably forgot…

Song Xuyi thought about her recent deliberate neglect of He Siyu and sighed: she and Siyu were gradually drifting apart.

Feeling a bit melancholy and a little sad, the system couldn’t stand seeing Song Xuyi down and ‘comforted’ her: “Every old mother feels this way when their children grow up; it’s not that the kid doesn’t want you anymore. Relax—”

Song Xuyi laughed at the system’s words and thought that she indeed always regarded He Siyu as a junior, and it’s natural for juniors to drift away as they grow up. So, she let go of that bit of melancholy in her heart.

Busy again for the whole day, it wasn’t until the evening that Song Xuyi had some free time, so she took a few children for a walk on the beach.

The sea breeze gently caresses, trees lush and verdant, behind the village lays a vast beach.

On the beach, the fine sand winds along, filled with all sorts of shells, the deep blue sea stretches to the horizon, the sky at the horizon blazes bright, like burning flames…

Song Xuyi, beautiful and humble, is loved by the village children. They pick shells and flowers, making a floral crown to sit atop her head, surrounding Song Xuyi, clapping and laughing: “Sister Xuyi is so beautiful, so beautiful…”

Song Xuyi widens her eyes, deliberately pouting and placing her hands on her hips to tease them: “What do I look like now?”

“Like a bride!”

“Like a star…”

“Like… a flower fairy!” the children laughed loudly in response.

Not sure who started it, but suddenly a child exclaimed, “A fairy!” Then all the children started shouting “fairy” loudly…

Song Xuyi felt a bit like laughing. She didn’t expect these children to be so sweet-tongued at such a young age. She was just about to accept this ‘fairy’ title and give them some lollipops she had already put in her pocket, when she saw a few children quickly running past her, heading to her back—

Feeling something, Song Xuyi turned around.

On the endless beach stands a beautiful girl whose beauty makes the surrounding scenery pale in comparison.

This girl is wearing a white dress, highlighting her slender waist. The top of the dress is slightly open, showing her beautiful collarbones and delicate jawline. Moving up, there’s her thick, smooth black hair, and a beautiful face that makes Song Xuyi gasp every time she sees it…

The children weren’t wrong; this is truly a fairy who has descended to the mortal world.

At this moment, this beautiful fairy’s eyes are filled with twinkling laughter, as she intently looks at Song Xuyi while holding a cake…

So, the fairy is He Siyu!

How did she come here?

Thinking carefully, Song Xuyi and He Siyu hadn’t seen each other for over half a year. And it seems like He Siyu has become much more beautiful, previously possessing the pure beauty of a young girl. However, now He Siyu’s beauty is mixed with a hint of charm, carrying an enticing allure of immaturity progressing towards maturity…

At the first sight of He Siyu like this, Song Xuyi couldn’t help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

“Fairy sister, did you fall from the sky?” a little girl asked, tugging at the corner of He Siyu’s dress, cautiously inquiring.

He Siyu shook her head and crouched down with a smile in response: “No, I came by car.”

Hearing this, Song Xuyi looked at He Siyu in surprise, her lips tightly pursed: Driving here from Huashi takes seven to eight hours.

Another child asked, “Fairy sister, where did you buy this cake? It’s so beautiful!”

This was a very beautiful cake, decorated with cream to form a cute little girl with wings, who was holding a cherry heart.

“You can’t buy it,” He Siyu answered kindly. “I spent over a month learning to make a surprise for a girl. I made this myself last night.”

Then, Song Xuyi noticed the dark circles under He Siyu’s eyes: Did she… stay up all night?

Another child asked, “Fairy sister, where did you buy this cake? It’s so beautiful!”

This was a very beautiful cake, decorated with cream to form a cute little girl with wings, who was holding a cherry heart.

“You can’t buy it,” He Siyu answered kindly. “I spent over a month learning to make a surprise for a girl. I made this myself last night.”

Then, Song Xuyi noticed the dark circles under He Siyu’s eyes: Did she… stay up all night?

……

“Fairy sister, what do you want to do in our village?”

“Me? I came to find my little fairy!” He Siyu said this and suddenly lifted her head, smiling at Song Xuyi next to her. Her smile was incredibly natural, as if the distance between them for more than half a year had never existed—

In He Siyu’s beautiful eyes, Song Xuyi saw herself: wearing a shell wreath with rosy cheeks, biting her lower lip tightly, and her clothes still had sand on them… looking silly no matter how you looked.

However, Song Xuyi saw He Siyu’s beautiful eyes curve up.

“My most beautiful little fairy,” she saw He Siyu, surrounded by people, smiling and lifting the cake in her hands, her eyes as bright as a multitude of stars: “Happy Birthday!”

——thump thump

Looking at He Siyu’s beautiful smile, Song Xuyi couldn’t describe what she was feeling inside.

It was as if something had struck her heart hard, and then it suddenly started beating rapidly, gradually getting faster as if it was about to jump out of her chest!

Song Xuyi hurriedly looked away, suddenly feeling a bit scared to look at He Siyu’s face, which was beautiful to the extreme.

Fortunately, He Siyu didn’t notice her awkwardness. Carefully, He Siyu placed the cake on a rock, lit the candle and smiled at Song Xuyi, prompting Song Xuyi to make a wish.

Song Xuyi pursed her lips awkwardly.

She didn’t know why, but she felt that today’s He Siyu’s gaze, as she smiled at her, seemed to contain hooks, inexplicably making her heart flutter.

Song Xuyi actually didn’t believe in making wishes. She believed more in the saying “man can conquer nature,” and her previous wishes were just for show. However, seeing He Siyu who had rushed over just to celebrate her birthday, Song Xuyi suddenly had a wish in her heart—

“May He Siyu in front of me always be smooth sailing, happy and joyful.”

After making the wish, everyone started to share the cake. Song Xuyi, looking at the delicate little girl on the cake, hesitated to cut it. It was He Siyu who took the knife and evenly divided the cake into dozens of pieces according to the number of people.

He Siyu promised the children that it would be “divided equally,” but she winked at Song Xuyi and skillfully placed the cherry, which was made into a heart and was in the little girl’s hand, into Song Xuyi’s plate without changing her expression.

……

As the sky gradually darkened, the children took their cakes and ran back to their homes. Song Xuyi didn’t want to return so quickly, so she took her cake plate and started to walk on the beach with He Siyu…

He Siyu’s cake was made very well, with the cake plate full of fruits, and the cream was sweet but not greasy.

Song Xuyi ate a few bites and felt it was very much to her taste. As she ate, she fell behind…

He Siyu, who was ahead, suddenly stopped.

“Xuyi, I’ve actually had some words I’ve wanted to say to you.”

He Siyu turned around and lowered her head.

The distant light shone on He Siyu’s delicate and beautiful jawline, making her facial features appear even more exquisite and charming. Song Xuyi watched as He Siyu’s head drooped lower and lower, her eyes widening slightly…

The heartbeat that had finally calmed down started to ‘thump thump’ accelerate again—

What does she want to do?

Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard.

He Siyu reached out her hand and wiped away a bit of cream on the cheek of Song Xuyi.

“Xuyi,” He Siyu stood in front of Song Xuyi with her head lowered, her throat moved slightly, telling herself “now is not the time”. He Siyu lowered her thick and long eyelashes to hide the longing in her eyes, deliberately softened her voice, which sounded as if it contained a bit of pleading: “I want to tell you: I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong recently, but I don’t want us to drift apart…”

“Xuyi, can we go back to how things were before? For more than half a year, I’ve always wanted to see you, yet I feared causing you trouble…”

He Siyu lifted her head and smiled at Song Xuyi, but Song Xuyi saw the tears twinkling in her eyes.

Clearly sad, yet forcibly putting on a happy face…

Her heart trembling fiercely, Song Xuyi found her conscience beginning to quake: So… had her deliberate distancing caused He Siyu so much grief?

It was her fault!

He Siyu was clearly the victim, yet she had still made her so sad.

Looking at the sorrowful He Siyu in front of her, Song Xuyi’s sense of guilt reached its peak. She instantly forgot all about the behavioral guidelines she had agreed upon with the system—

“I’m sorry,” Song Xuyi tearfully apologized, grasping He Siyu’s arm and repeatedly explaining, “It was me acting guilty, I kissed you and then felt bad about it, I was really drunk at the time…”

“I’m sorry, Siyu, I will never distance myself from you again…”

Who could withstand being stared at so pitifully by Siyu?

Song Xuyi felt that, at this moment, let alone making up, she could even rip her heart out and give it to her…


The author has something to say:

Xuyi T_T: Sob, I’m a jerk, making her so sad, she almost cried…

Siyu (#^.^#): Just knew you couldn’t bear it!
