Blame the Villain – Chapter 251

Real World (5)

She had initially wanted to refuse.

She had a premonition in her heart that once she agreed to Rong Yu’s request, she would become increasingly entangled, and she might even be reluctant to file for divorce.

However, as she looked into Rong Yu’s tearful eyes at this moment, Song Xu Yi once again felt guilt and sorrow in her heart.

This was Rong Yu! The perpetually composed and successful leader of a technology company. Except for that one night when she drowned her sorrows in alcohol, Song Xu Yi had never seen her show such a cautious and sorrowful expression at any other time.

Song Xu Yi had liked her for so long that she would rather hurt herself than hurt Rong Yu.

Moreover, she had objectively contributed to Rong Yu’s obsession in her dreams and should be the one to resolve this matter.

What did it matter if she liked Rong Yu a little too much? After all, she already liked her very much at this point…

With these thoughts in mind, Song Xu Yi bit her lip and nodded reluctantly.

Seeing Song Xu Yi’s nod, Rong Yu’s eyes immediately lit up. She smiled at Song Xu Yi, squeezed into Song Xu Yi’s blanket, and happily wrapped her arms around Song Xu Yi’s waist. “So, darling, do you have any plans for today?”

In reality, Song Xu Yi hadn’t thought about what to do. Even if she had, due to Rong Yu’s current posture, she was so nervous that her back was stiff, and she couldn’t remember at all—

In the three years since marrying Rong Yu, Song Xu Yi had slowed down her pace, gradually reducing her work as an actress. Initially, she had intended to be a supportive wife for Rong Yu, fitting into the role of a respectable heiress. However, she soon discovered that being Rong Yu’s wife was quite relaxing and allowed her a lot of freedom. Song Xu Yi began to rediscover her hobbies and prepare for medical school.

According to Song Xu Yi’s original plan, this day was supposed to be dedicated to serious studying. However, due to the circumstances of the “small world,” she realized that she had already mastered the subject matter, and she no longer needed to spend as much time studying each day.

Rong Yu seemed to sense that Song Xu Yi didn’t have any plans. Her bright eyes stared directly into Song Xu Yi’s, and there was a hint of nervousness and pleading in her tone. “Darling, if you don’t find it too presumptuous, could you spare a day today for a date with me? Just one day, can you…”

Song Xu Yi couldn’t help but lower her head and spoke softly:

“You don’t have to be so cautious in front of me. I promised to play your partner, and I won’t go back on my word. Whatever you want to do, let’s do it…”

After saying this sentence, Song Xu Yi immediately began to regret it. Hearing Song Xu Yi speak so openly, Rong Yu’s eyes instantly lit up. She leaned in and happily kissed Song Xu Yi, then, upon seeing Song Xu Yi’s widened eyes, she started apologizing repeatedly, expressing that she couldn’t help herself because she missed the girl she had met in the small world every day. And Song Xu Yi just looked so adorable…

Finally, it wasn’t until Song Xu Yi couldn’t help but cover her lips that Rong Yu closed her mouth with a smile.

Song Xu Yi couldn’t understand why Rong Yu, who was usually a composed and authoritative figure, had now turned into someone who had lost all restraint. But as she covered her rapidly beating heart, she couldn’t deny, despite not wanting to admit it, that she also really liked this mischievous and clingy side of Rong Yu…

Feeling both shy and excited, Song Xu Yi used the excuse of going to the bathroom and entered the restroom, only coming out from her room when she heard Rong Yu leave.

She told herself it was just an act, but Song Xu Yi spent a long time choosing her clothes and doing her makeup.

When Song Xu Yi was finally satisfied with her makeup and went downstairs, she found that Aunt Zhong and the servants had all left the villa, and Rong Yu had prepared breakfast and was waiting for her.

“I gave Aunt Zhong and the others the day off today. It’s just you and me at home,” Rong Yu said casually, dropping another unexpected piece of news that almost left Song Xu Yi speechless. She had thought that yesterday’s Rong Yu had been surprising enough, but today’s Rong Yu was even more unexpected. However, since Song Xu Yi had told her to do as she pleased, she didn’t want to object now.

Facing Song Xu Yi’s slightly red eyes from coughing, Rong Yu didn’t seem to think her actions were a problem at all. She lightly patted Song Xu Yi’s back while looking at her with a hint of grievance. “Darling, do you have any objections to this? But why should we keep those hangers-on here during our date? Or… do you not trust me?”

“All right!” Rong Yu pursed her lips as she met Song Xu Yi’s surprised gaze. “I admit that there are many times when I can’t help but want to kiss you, hold you, and do more intimate things with you. But I know you would get angry, so I will try to control myself. Even when there’s no one around, I won’t do anything inappropriate to you…”

?!

Song Xu Yi didn’t know what to say anymore!

She felt like one day she would choke to death at the dining table because of Rong Yu’s bold remarks—

What did she mean by ‘more intimate things’? Was this something that could be said at the dining table?!

In that moment, Song Xu Yi finally realized the advantage of Rong Yu giving Aunt Zhong and the others the day off—if these words were overheard by Aunt Zhong and the others, Song Xu Yi felt like she would have no face left…

Moreover, Rong Yu was already pushing the boundaries: they had kissed, cuddled, and even gotten under the covers… what more could be considered “more intimate”?

…leaving only a certain something.

When Song Xu Yi thought of that certain something, her eyes widened in disbelief, and then her face turned bright red. She almost wanted to run upstairs and add ten more locks to the bedroom door.

However, Song Xu Yi realized that adding ten more locks wouldn’t be safe at all. The lock at the entrance to Song Xu Yi’s room was now the latest iris recognition lock, and yet, Rong Yu still managed to sneak in at night…

Are all people who run technology companies this skilled? Actually… there are many mysteries surrounding Rong Yu.

……

Yet Rong Yu seemed to have no awareness that she was the one responsible for leaving Song Xu Yi nearly speechless. She looked somewhat aggrieved as she gazed at Song Xu Yi. Seeing that Song Xu Yi didn’t make any effort to comfort her with her head hung low, a hint of darkness passed through Rong Yu’s eyes. She tightened the hand resting at her side but continued to wear a pouting expression: “Darling, I really like you—”

“I know.” Even though they were playing the role of a couple, hearing Rong Yu’s confession, Song Xu Yi couldn’t help but feel her heart race. She wanted to take this opportunity to confess to Rong Yu, even if it was half sincere and half pretend. The words “I like you too” were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t bring herself to say them.

“You’ll know in the future; I like you even more than you can imagine,” Rong Yu continued.

Her gaze was so genuine that, for a moment, Song Xu Yi even felt that Rong Yu wasn’t acting but genuinely confessing to her.

“Darling, you look really beautiful today.” Fortunately, before Song Xu Yi could bury her head in her bowl, Rong Yu changed the subject.

Rong Yu poured a little more soup into Song Xu Yi’s bowl, disturbing the calm waters of Song Xu Yi’s heart. However, her own expression remained incredibly serene. She stood up and brushed the hair on Song Xu Yi’s cheek behind her ear. “I’m sorry I made you choke.”

“You can focus on eating first, I won’t talk…”

Song Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. She intended to eat peacefully, but after Rong Yu’s actions, she felt flustered. She drank a bowl of soup and already felt full, unable to eat much. Furthermore, even though Rong Yu kept her promise not to say anything provocative and ate quietly afterward, this silence made Song Xu Yi even more anxious. She couldn’t help but feel that Rong Yu was planning something in secret.

“Darling!”

As expected, when Song Xu Yi put down her chopsticks, Rong Yu did the same, her eyes filled with anticipation. “I want my darling to help me get dressed before we go out!”

Song Xu Yi let out a small sigh of relief and followed Rong Yu upstairs.

She originally thought that helping Rong Yu get dressed would be an easy task. After all, Rong Yu was beautiful with a great figure, and even if she wore a sack, it wouldn’t diminish her beauty. However, Song Xu Yi soon realized she had underestimated the situation. Makeup itself wasn’t difficult, but she was dressing up Rong Yu—

After a series of unreasonable demands such as “changing clothes in front of my wife without needing to hide,” “my wife helping me with my zipper, when can my wife let me help with her zipper?” “I want to wear matching couple outfits with my wife,” and “my wife’s lipstick is fading, and my lipstick is bold, let me help my wife touch it up,” Song Xu Yi felt more exhausted than if she had been in a battle. She had been kissed by Rong Yu, but she had also seen Rong Yu completely exposed. Their relationship was like a tangled mess, impossible to define clearly.

In the subsequent interactions, Song Xu Yi also discovered Rong Yu’s cunning nature. Rong Yu had promised Song Xu Yi that she wouldn’t do anything inappropriate even when there was no one around, but she hadn’t promised not to kiss or hug Song Xu Yi. She even left lipstick marks on Song Xu Yi’s face…

By the time the two of them were wearing matching couple outfits and heading to the garage, it was almost noon. This time, Rong Yu was driving. Song Xu Yi hadn’t expected to be in a car driven by Rong Yu so soon. Worried about Rong Yu having an accident, Song Xu Yi gave her numerous reminders and warnings. Rong Yu listened to Song Xu Yi’s concerns with a bright smile and drove seriously, obediently.

Song Xu Yi didn’t know where Rong Yu was taking her, but as they continued down the road, the surroundings became increasingly familiar. It was then that Song Xu Yi realized that Rong Yu seemed to be taking her back to her grandmother’s small courtyard…

Since her grandmother passed away, Song Xu Yi would occasionally go back to visit and had entrusted the house to the neighbors for maintenance. The neighbors knew about her marriage to Rong Yu, and whenever they saw Song Xu Yi returning alone, they would inquire about Rong Yu’s whereabouts. Over time, the neighbors came to believe that Song Xu Yi and Rong Yu didn’t have a good relationship, and they looked at Song Xu Yi with sympathy.

This time, with Rong Yu accompanying Song Xu Yi, it completely dispelled the neighbors’ speculations about their relationship. The way Rong Yu looked at Song Xu Yi was so affectionate that it was almost dripping with honey. How could anyone doubt Rong Yu’s affection for Song Xu Yi?

The two of them spent a delightful day in Song Xu Yi’s hometown.

The small county town was small from beginning to end. When Rong Yu expressed a desire to learn more about Song Xu Yi’s childhood, Song Xu Yi took her to her elementary school, middle school, and even encountered her middle school homeroom teacher.

The homeroom teacher warmly invited Song Xu Yi into the office, took out a small box containing many yellowed letters. The teacher sighed with a smile, “Xu Yi, you were a well-behaved and likable child when you were young. Many people liked you. But you lost your parents, and there was a time when you disappeared. It was a challenging period for you, and I was afraid you might take a wrong path and suffer. I specifically had a talk with your desk mate, and she handed over all the love letters from those who asked her to pass them on…”

“I’ve been keeping these letters, and I wanted to give them to you someday. Now, they’re finally back where they belong. Please forgive your teacher for holding onto your letters. I assure you, I never read a single word—”

Song Xu Yi hadn’t expected this twist and was very grateful for the teacher’s care. After thanking the teacher and reaching out to take the box, Rong Yu, who was beside her, swiftly took it instead.

Song Xu Yi didn’t mind, and after chatting with the teacher for a while and saying goodbye, she and Rong Yu walked along the school grounds. Under the dim streetlights, she suddenly felt in a good mood. Even though life hadn’t always been kind to her, looking back, there were still many happy moments during her childhood: the older relatives who silently looked out for her, the lively and cute classmates, the diligent effort she put into her studies, and the laughter from the small stalls outside the school gates…

Rong Yu had been listening quietly to Song Xu Yi’s words. When they reached a small grove beside the school and saw a pair of middle school students secretly holding hands inside, Song Xu Yi sighed and exclaimed, “Ah, youth!” She teased Rong Yu with a smile, “You’re so beautiful, you must have received a lot more love letters than I did when you were in school, right?”

There was a long pause with no response.

After a while, Rong Yu’s slightly hoarse voice finally sounded softly.

“Xu Yi, you’ve talked about all the people who left a deep impression on you during your youth, but you forgot about me.”

Song Xu Yi was momentarily stunned. Rong Yu’s words carried an inexplicable touch of sadness. She was about to explain that she didn’t know Rong Yu back then, but Rong Yu took a step forward, embraced Song Xu Yi around the waist.

Song Xu Yi looked at Rong Yu subconsciously and realized that Rong Yu’s eyes had unknowingly filled with tears. Her current gaze was strangely complex, appearing both content and resigned, brimming with an unmistakable overflow of love.

As if bewitched, Song Xu Yi’s heart suddenly started racing, and a certain image flashed through her mind. Her heart softened with an inexplicable tenderness, and she instinctively closed her eyes.

“Xu Yi, but I’m very happy, very happy that you were once so joyful, even if I wasn’t part of your youth—”

“Your presence is already the greatest miracle in my life…”

Under the hollow moonlight, Rong Yu spoke softly. She blinked away the tears in her eyes, and with gentleness and reverence, she leaned down and kissed Song Xu Yi’s lips…

“Xu Yi, you helped this person with their makeup, so they secretly fell in love with you—”

Rong Yu, while cold and aloof while reading the first letter, turned charming and seductive when she looked at Song Xu Yi. She nibbled on Song Xu Yi’s ear and said, “Teacher Song, I’d like you to help me with my biology lessons too…”

Another night.

“Xu Yi, this person saw you feeding the rabbits and thought you were very compassionate, so they fell in love with you…”

Rong Yu lightly kissed Song Xu Yi’s nose, gazing at her flushed eyes and trembling eyelashes. With rabbit ears adorned on her head, Rong Yu made a playful sound, “Tsk,” and said, “I also want to feed the adorable Xu Yi bunny…”

Another night.

“Xu Yi, this person said they wanted to hold your hand and participate in a sports event, so they fell in love with you…”

“Tonight, I also want to hold your hand and never let go, let’s have a sports event together…”

……

Song Xu Yi: T_T.

Teacher, let me say, thank you…
