Blame the Villain – Chapter 53

Villainous Poor Student (18)

Due to limited conditions in the small mountain village, and no time to spare for another room, that night He Siyu and Song Xuyi once again slept in the same room.

Even though they had long grown accustomed to sleeping together, this particular night Song Xuyi simply couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. Her mind incessantly circled back to the image of waking up that morning with her arms and legs tightly wrapped around He Siyu. Not wanting to disturb He Siyu, who had rushed over, Song Xuyi could only play with a corner of the blanket, controlling her breathing rate, closing her eyes, and stiffening her body on the bed, trying to imagine herself as a lifeless corpse…

It’s unknown how much time had passed when a sigh came from nearby. He Siyu turned around and rubbed Song Xuyi’s head, then hugged her waist tightly.

“Go to sleep! We have to continue our journey tomorrow.”

He Siyu’s voice was a bit raspy, carrying some sleepy laziness, and Song Xuyi could feel the vibration of He Siyu’s chest as he spoke. She didn’t know what was happening to her, but upon hearing He Siyu’s voice, her cheeks subconsciously flushed…

Behind her was He Siyu’s soft body, and the familiar fragrance of He Siyu lingered by her side. Waves of warmth surged up, and Song Xuyi felt dizzy, only grateful that it was deep into the night and He Siyu couldn’t see her cheeks red as a tomato.

“He Siyu is really a kind child,” Song Xuyi felt somewhat nervous chatting with the system: “She knows I can’t let go, so she deliberately gave me a way out. She usually sleeps in such a proper posture—”

The system “hehe” sneered, and upon hearing this tone, Song Xuyi knew it didn’t want to have a proper chat. Remembering the time at the beach when the system sternly rebuked her for not supposed to hug He Siyu and the matters of reconciling with He Siyu, Song Xuyi felt maybe the system needed to cool off, and once again blocked the system.

However, through this banter from the system, some of Song Xuyi’s tension finally dissipated. She yawned sleepily, feeling waves of sleepiness, not knowing when she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Song Xuyi felt somewhat hot, moved her arm, but touched a smooth and silky skin sensation…

Upon opening her eyes, Song Xuyi realized that, unknowingly, she and He Siyu were already embracing each other in sleep. He Siyu’s eyes were tightly closed, seeming to be still in a deep, sweet sleep.

He Siyu’s clothing was somewhat disheveled, revealing the tip of the iceberg of her undulating peaks…

Her mind heated up again. Any lingering drowsiness vanished instantly. Before He Siyu could wake up and notice anything odd due to the flush on her face, Song Xuyi scrambled out of bed and into the bathroom.

What Song Xuyi didn’t know was that, shortly after she entered the bathroom, the ‘deeply sleeping’ He Siyu opened her eyes.

The clarity in He Siyu’s eyes betrayed not a hint of sleepiness.

Her eyes, complex and deep, gazed at the tightly closed bathroom door, narrowing slightly:

Last time, losing the bet led to Song Xuyi’s alienation.

This time…

He Siyu pursed her lips firmly: She absolutely could not rush things again!

After tidying up, Song Xuyi went back home with He Siyu.

He Siyu had only recently obtained her driving license, yet she drove with remarkable steadiness. Song Xuyi slept through the ride in the passenger seat and awoke to find herself back in Huashi.

Work in Huashi were bustling, and the next semester would see Song Xuyi entering her senior year of high school. Even though Song Xuyi did not plan to expend much effort on her studies, she still wanted to get into a decent university to fulfill the wishes of Father Song and Mother Song. Thus, to make enough time for her senior year, Song Xuyi hired a few more people during the summer vacation and delegated part of her workload.

After the two mended their relationship, the dynamic between He Siyu and Song Xuyi over these two months had completely flipped compared to before: He Siyu would help out at Song Xuyi’s company whenever she had free time, often bringing Song Xuyi’s favorite drinks or snacks. Being diligent and hardworking, she never idled after arriving, assisting with whatever tasks she could…

Before long, everyone knew that Song Xuyi had a beautifully unreal little sister who frequently visited to spend time with her. The little sister was diligent and hardworking, and everyone in the company, from top to bottom, liked her. Over one or two months, He Siyu added many of Song Xuyi’s colleagues to her QQ.

It must be said, with He Siyu’s help, Song Xuyi’s workload had lightened considerably.

During this period, Song Xuyi didn’t know what was happening to her, but every morning she would feel a sense of anticipation, thinking that seeing He Siyu today would suddenly make her happy.

The system, seeing Song Xuyi like this, couldn’t help but speak out again: “Don’t you think your state is very odd?”

“Because Siyu is beautiful!” Song Xuyi replied very righteously: “Beautiful people always make one’s mood pleasant.”

The system once again let out a “hehe”, having never seen Song Xuyi in such a state, but it also didn’t dare to confirm whether Song Xuyi had really taken a liking or feared being blocked by Song Xuyi, so it forcibly suppressed the urge to criticize and decided to observe a bit longer before making a decision.

Soon, He Siyu and Song Xuyi both faced the beginning of a new school term.

He Siyu’s school is in the capital, ranking as the best engineering college in the country, more than two thousand kilometers away from Huashi.

However, with today’s rapidly advancing technology, laptops now come with video call capabilities, so when parting from He Siyu, Song Xuyi didn’t feel too saddened.

Instead, He Siyu left Song Xuyi with a long list, detailing the addresses of several pastry shops she liked, also reminding Song Xuyi about some of her not-so-good daily habits. In the end, she even organized Song Xuyi’s wardrobe, matching her clothes to save Song Xuyi the time of coordinating outfits every day…

It was then that Song Xuyi vaguely realized He Siyu had infiltrated every aspect of her life.

Yet, Song Xuyi didn’t think of this as someone’s meticulous planning, but felt incredibly proud to have such a good friend as He Siyu.

Looking at Song Xuyi like this, the system also began to doubt: If Xuyi has really fallen for her, her demeanor appears far too calm. Perhaps… it had really guessed wrong?

……

Song Xuyi was not aware of the system’s tangled thoughts.

This semester, Song Xuyi’s frequency of returning to school increased significantly as she began to participate in the college entrance examination review. Having the foundation from her previous life, and after asking He Siyu several questions, He Siyu suggested video tutoring for Song Xuyi in the future. Considering the relationship between her and He Siyu, Song Xuyi agreed.

Afterward, with the tutoring of the top student in the province’s college entrance examination via video, Song Xuyi quickly began to rank at the top of her school.

And now, Song Xuyi’s body also began to slowly grow taller and become more slender. Unlike He Siyu’s radiant beauty, Song Xuyi had a gentle and approachable temperament, with a clean and pleasant appearance. She attended a prestigious school, and previously, Song Xuyi rarely appeared in school so it was fine. But now that Song Xuyi frequently attended school, there were many sons of wealthy families in the school. Seeing such a Song Xuyi naturally began to harbor improper thoughts.

In this era, everyone started using QQ. One day, a boy from the class suddenly added Song Xuyi on QQ. Initially, Song Xuyi did not pay much attention, thinking it was another classmate. However, afterward, every morning and evening, as long as Song Xuyi was online, the other party would send over long paragraphs of “Are you there?”

Once Song Xuyi replied to him, the other party would bombard her with a mishmash of messages: boasting about how much money his family had, what new shoes he bought, asking Song Xuyi out to hang out…

He even tried to video call Song Xuyi from time to time and ambushed her on the road…

Song Xuyi was exasperated because this boy had disrupted her video study plans with He Siyu several times. To avoid harassment, Song Xuyi would stay invisible online and had agreed with He Siyu to video call each other regularly at nine o’clock every evening for makeup lessons.

He Siyu quickly sensed that something was off, but when she asked about it, Song Xuyi felt too embarrassed to reveal the situation: after all, the little boy also had his pride, thinking that the boy with a buzz cut might cool down someday, so she simply said she was a bit busy without divulging more.

However, it was not long before Song Xuyi discovered that the boy suddenly received his comeuppance: photos of him dating multiple girls at the same time were leaked on the school’s forum, and rumors about this boy spread throughout the school in no time. With no face to meet people, he miserably took a several months’ leave of absence and naturally had no face to harass Song Xuyi anymore.

Feeling a sense of relief, Song Xuyi felt that the matter had finally come to an end. During their chat in the evening, she couldn’t help but bring it up and commented, “Indeed, evil people will eventually meet their karma in this world.”

He Siyu listened intently as Song Xuyi vented about the disgusting things the boy had done to pester her. Squinting slightly, a shadow flitted across her eyes, yet her face agreed with Song Xuyi, nodding, “Indeed, fortunately, he got what he deserved…”

He Siyu didn’t show any oddity, explaining the difficult questions to Song Xuyi as usual before hanging up the video call with her usual expression.

As the screen darkened, no longer showing the face of Song Xuyi that haunted her dreams, and thinking of the disgusting incident the boy had put Song Xuyi through, He Siyu opened a folder and uploaded the evidence of that boy’s hit-and-run incident onto a forum…

She had initially thought it was just ordinary pestering, but never expected the boy to harass Xuyi to such an extent. Well, he shouldn’t blame her for not being polite then!

Although the incident of the boy’s hit-and-run was suppressed by his parents, anything that happens leaves a trace, especially since the boy was incredibly foolish, sharing the evidence on his secondary account.

He Siyu followed the comments to enter the boy’s space, discovering that every one of his posts had a number commenting and liking. Clicking on that number, He Siyu found an album filled with a series of evidence…

In his secondary account, the boy boasted about his ‘glorious achievements’ with a smug tone. Even though he had already deleted those pieces of evidence, He Siyu had taken screenshots of them long before.

One could imagine, once the news of hit-and-run came out and public opinion started to ferment, the school would definitely not keep this boy.

After all, He Siyu never believed in karma.

Watching the post she sent out being bumped up to a skyscraper of comments again, He Siyu narrowed her eyes slightly: rather than wait for elusive karma, she preferred to take revenge with her own hands, letting the villain receive his deserved punishment!

Let’s play something thrilling. If the nutrient solution breaks 3300, I will update again tomorrow, Day 6.

I’m not afraid to set this flag at all! ╭(╯^╰)╮
