I Became the Most Popular Character by Acting as a Villain in the Manga

Chapter 132

I was a bit speechless, but I didn't refute it.

Xiao 6 was beating drums and gongs in my mind, its soft and cute voice excitedly saying, "Congratulations Host, after the cross-dressing fanart and cat-ification, you've now officially received a rabbit-ification!"

Official rabbit-ification my ass. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel•fire.net

However, I could already foresee that if this part appeared in the manga, there would definitely be rabbit-ifications or rabbit ear pictures of me on the forum.

Seeing that Yuan Lan had returned, Yu Ruolan felt that if I needed anything, Yuan Lan could help, and it would be more convenient since they were both boys. It seemed unnecessary for her to stay here, so she mumbled, "Then... I should go back now?"

Yuan Lan just smiled and didn't say anything, seeming to agree by default, yet also seeming to be waiting for my reaction.

I thought, with Yuan Lan here, whatever I did would be meaningless, so I nodded. My originally cold voice was slightly hoarse due to my illness: "Thank you for taking care of me today, you've worked hard."

"It's okay." Yu Ruolan smiled shyly, quickly finished the last two bites of steamed egg custard, and began to pack up her things.

At this time, Yuan Lan's tall and slender body moved closer to Yu Ruolan. He casually propped one hand on the table and looked down at Yu Ruolan as she packed the things one by one into the bamboo basket, and chuckled gently, "Little Yu is so well-prepared, so thoughtful."

The position of his hand was very clever, right in front of Yu Ruolan.

Yu Ruolan was small and slender, her head not even reaching Yuan Lan's chin. In addition, the two of them were very close at this moment, which made her look as if she was being held in Yuan Lan's arms.

"It's... it's okay?" Yu Ruolan felt embarrassed by the praise, and buried her head to pack her things. Her peripheral vision caught the forehead thermometer placed on the side, and thinking that it should be left for me to use, she reached out to pick it up and said, "Ah, and this—"

She turned her head to look at Yuan Lan standing beside her, and when she looked up, she suddenly met the amber-like golden eyes that were staring at her.

The distance between them was only a hair's breadth. Yu Ruolan could clearly see her own reflection in the eyes that held a gentle smile, which made her feel in a daze that at this moment, his eyes could only hold her alone.

I sat silently opposite Yu Ruolan, watching her face turn red in an instant, and the ear facing me was so red it looked like it could drip blood.

Xiao 6 was about to faint from shipping them, like a crazed monkey, screaming and shouting, "Aooo aooo aooo I'm shipping this so hard! They've been looking at each other for more than 3 seconds, kiss her already! Hurry up ahhh!"

Bai Xuechao: "..."

The way you said it, it seems like I should be under the car.

Xiao 6 was still shouting excitedly, its voice about to crack: "Yuan Lan, are you a man or not! Kiss her for me ah—!"

Unfortunately, Yuan Lan disappointed it.

While Yu Ruolan's face was flushed and she was speechless, Yuan Lan's gaze turned to the forehead thermometer in her hand. He calmly reached out and took it, as if the close-up eye contact just now hadn't affected his mentality at all.

He said in a gentle voice, "Is this to be left for Little Xuechao to use?"

Only then did Yu Ruolan come back to her senses, her long eyelashes trembling: "Yes..."

"I'll remember to use it to check Little Xuechao's temperature, don't worry~" Yuan Lan smiled and retracted the hand that was propping up the table, and gently patted Yu Ruolan on the head twice.

"En..." Yu Ruolan lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Yuan Lan, her face still flushed. "I'll be going then."

Yuan Lan said, "Okay, I'll walk you to the door."

After speaking, he directly held Yu Ruolan's shoulder and walked towards the bedroom door.

As the two of them left, at an angle invisible to Yu Ruolan, his brilliant golden pupils looked towards me, and the corner of his lip curled up.

Xiao 6 "tsked" twice and said, "Host, is he provoking you?"

Bai Xuechao: "..."

Yuan Lan was really too sinister, to actually resort to seduction.

This way, after Yu Ruolan went back, her mind would be full of Yuan Lan.

Although his actions today were not in vain, when Yu Ruolan recalled what happened today, the main character in her mind would definitely not be him.

Tsk, he was really something.

When Yuan Lan came back, he saw my blood-red, glass-like eyes staring at him quietly, my face expressionless, but the flushed, sickly look made me look a little listless.

He suddenly burst out laughing, walked leisurely to the seat where I was sitting, leaned down to look at me, and asked with a smile, "Unhappy?"

"Experience is the best teacher," I said with a sarcastic tone.

Yuan Lan asked with a smile, "Are you praising me?"

I said coldly, "No, I'm calling you old."

Hearing this, Yuan Lan's smile first paused, then he laughed out loud very happily, as if he found my verbal attack very interesting.

After he finished laughing, he pretended to look wronged: "I'm only 25, am I that old already?"

"I'm 17," I emphasized expressionlessly.

Whether one is old or not depends on the comparison.

Yuan Lan was noncommittal about this, just raised the corner of his lips and shrugged. When he spoke again, his tone was a bit meaningful: "Adults have adult ways, minors can only be younger brothers."

I tilted my head: "Oh?"

Xiao 6 excitedly shouted, "Quick, make him elaborate!"

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't really do anything, it's a very pure relationship." Yuan Lan made a gesture of surrender and teased with a smile, "Little Xuechao, you're looking at me like you're looking at a scumbag. Do you have some misunderstanding or stereotype about adult ways?"

I understood: "You're playing with ambiguity?"

After a pause, I turned my head and glared at Yuan Lan, "Isn't that even more scummy?"

"I don't admit that, I seriously rejected Mu Xinyue, and I never said anything like a confession to Little Yu." Yuan Lan turned his body and leaned lightly on the small round table, his face still wearing a gentle smile, but his tone was a bit nonchalant. "But as friends, isn't it normal to have some closer actions?"

I said with contempt, "Isn't this still scummy?"

No wonder Mu Xinyue was so obsessed, she even became a master poisoner.

For her, the person she likes rejected her, but still maintains an intimate relationship with her. Isn't this just sending a signal of "we still have a chance"?

Yuan Lan spread his hands helplessly: "Is being charming also considered scummy?"

I looked at him speechlessly.

Fine, being thick-skinned is also a skill.

Xiao 6 used its virtual code-like claws to scratch its own CPU. With its clarity and foolishness, it fearlessly and quietly said, "Host, I suddenly realized that you two are six of one and half a dozen of the other... You're also deceiving Sister Little Yu's feelings."

Bai Xuechao: "..."

Wait, how is that the same?

But it was true, it was just the pot calling the kettle black.

He wasn't a good person either, approaching Yu Ruolan with impure motives and managing their relationship.

But he would admit it, whereas this guy Yuan Lan wouldn't admit it at all.

"Speaking of which, I'd like to ask." Yuan Lan lowered his head and looked at me sitting in the seat with a smile. "I just passed by the bathroom and found that the tiled floor looks a bit damp... Did you take a shower?"

I let out a "en" and didn't deny it. I was already prepared for Yuan Lan to come back early, and retorted indifferently, "What's wrong?"

"You're still sick, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." Yuan Lan's expression was unreadable.

I leaned back against the chair and said calmly, "Then you should go in and take another look. The walls and other places should still be wet. I just took a hot shower, I won't catch a cold."

When taking a hot shower, there will be water vapor floating everywhere, which will condense into water on the tiled walls and other places. Therefore, there is a difference between taking a hot shower and a cold shower.

This was also why he went back to run some hot water.

"I see." Yuan Lan nodded and suddenly asked me, "Do you like people who can take care of you?"

That was a strange question.

I didn't show any emotion, but just retorted, "Someone who can take care of themselves, no one would hate them, right?"

Yuan Lan suddenly showed a brilliant smile. He leaned down closer to me, slowly reached out his hand, and under my slightly wary and curious gaze, he lightly pinched my chin, his fingertips continued to move down, and finally firmly grasped my slender neck.

The skin under his palm was scalding hot from the high fever.

"Little Xuechao, I'm suddenly a little curious." Yuan Lan's tone was gentle and slow, his thumb rubbing the side of my neck, his sweet voice as gentle as a whisper, "How did you get Little Yu to stay today? Or should I ask, what exactly did you do to make Little Yu feel sorry for you?"

I lifted my eyelids and looked at him with my crimson eyes.

Yuan Lan smiled and met his gaze: "Hmm?"

I looked at Yuan Lan quietly. My jewel-like magnificent red eyes gradually became moist, but I still said nothing, my thin lips tightly pressed together, only a thin layer of red appeared around my eye sockets.

A crystal clear teardrop rolled down from my left eye, and another teardrop from my right eye followed closely behind, sliding down my flushed, pale cheek. My tears didn't flow out all at once, but fell one by one, as if I was stubbornly trying not to cry, but the tears still fell, looking fragile and heart-wrenching.

Yuan Lan was stunned for a moment, his pupils dilating for an instant.

The next second, the white-haired boy whose neck was held by him suddenly smiled. The tears in his eyes were still shimmering under the light, but he curled his lips, slowly raised his hand, and patted his face twice in a somewhat frivolous manner, and said with a hoarse laugh, "Didn't you want to know what I did? This is what I did."

Yuan Lan let out a low laugh and said gently, "Indeed, the way you looked just now would have made Little Yu's heart soften."

As he spoke, he used the thumb of the hand that was pinching my neck to scrape my sharp chin, rubbing the undried tears onto his fingertips.

He withdrew the hand that was pinching my neck, stuck out the tip of his tongue, and licked the tears on the pad of his thumb.

—For a special ability user, anything from a non-alimentary special ability user can be eaten.

Yuan Lan seemed to taste it very seriously and commented, "It's about what I thought, it's like drinking cold flower tea, it's just a pity that it's not sweet."

Bai Xuechao: "..."

So perverted, how could he even taste tears.

I said coldly, "Why don't you let me have a bite."

"That's fine too, but I've never cried before, so I can't cry," Yuan Lan suddenly thought of something and said with a smile in his eyes, "How about you drink my blood."

As he spoke, he brought his own neck closer to my mouth.

I immediately leaned back: "I'm not drinking."

Who wants to drink his blood!

Yuan Lan continued to get closer, like a salesman selling drinks: "My taste is super sweet, cream flavor, you should try it—"

I showed a look of disgust and continued to lean back: "I'm not that kind of special ability user."

Some special ability users would drink the blood of non-alimentary special ability users. It tasted good and could also supplement their special ability energy, but I never drank it.

Yuan Lan, for some reason, persistently recommended it to him: "Try it, you won't lose anything~"

I simply pressed his face and pushed him back: "Get lost!"

Yuan Lan was pushed back a little, but continued to press forward against the force of my palm: "No, you try it, you'll definitely fall in love with this taste, the cream flavor is super good!"

The two of them pushed and pulled back and forth, and didn't even notice the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer from outside.

Lin Changqing was carrying barbecue and a few cans of beer. He casually knocked on Yuan Lan's bedroom door twice and then pushed it open. After all, he had done this countless times before.

As he opened the door, he shouted, "Boss, I brought barbecue and beer, want to have some—"

Seeing the scene inside the room, his voice grew smaller and smaller, and finally he asked with a numb expression, "...What are you guys doing?"

I was sitting in a chair, my head tilted back as far as possible, with a disgusted expression, and both of my hands were pushing Yuan Lan's face. Yuan Lan was sitting on the small round table in front of me, his upper body almost lying on me, pressing forward against my hands.

Lin Changqing: "..."

Damn, why does this feel so familiar.
