Villain Saving System (BL)

When Jillian returned later that day, it was almost midnight. Lu Yizhou had remained in the same position, watching as the carriage with the Duke’s insignia drove in through the gate, followed by Jillian whose clothes and hair were slightly disheveled compared to when he had just left early in the day. He was carrying a box in his hands, his pace brisk and hasty as he entered the manor and disappeared from Lu Yizhou’s sight.

Not one minute later, footsteps echoed outside the room and the door swung open, revealing the aforementioned man, slightly breathless and flushed, wayward strands of hair escaping from his ponytail. His eyes brightened as they laid upon Lu Yizhou.

Lu Yizhou witnessed with unbearable fondness as the color on Jillian’s cheeks deepened, suddenly turning bashful for some reasons. Closing the door behind him, Jillian cut the distance between them in three large steps before he once again fell on his knees, the box carefully put by his side. "Regius," he greeted with a deepening smile. "Are you bored? I’m sorry that I took so long."

Lu Yizhou wished he could shake his head and assured him that it was alright. He wanted... wanted to cup Jillian’s flushed cheeks, to chase away the chill clinging to his skin and trace the blush with his fingertips. He wanted—

"You must be questioning why I am so late." He grinned mischievously and presented the box to Lu Yizhou. "I’ve gone to fetch this. Forgive me but I am too impatient to wait until sunrise."

Jillian was almost buzzing in excitement as he unclasped the lock on the box and tipped the lid back, displaying... outfits. Many, many outfits in different styles and colors that had been designed to fit Lu Yizhou’s doll body. Jillian bit his lips and peeked at him through his lashes. "Now you can change your clothes everyday. I have made sure to include formal wear, sleeping gowns, casual wear and if you want to stick to your current style, I’ve got them here. Which color do you want?" He picked up two mini robes; one of them in the lightest shade of blue while the other was pure black. He measured them in front of Lu Yizhou’s body and contemplated. "Hmm, both of them suit you very well."

"Then..." He cleared his throat, eyes darting everywhere except Lu Yizhou. "You must have felt uncomfortable wearing the same clothes for so many hours. Let me... change it for you, okay?"

Lu Yizhou stifled a helpless laugh. What kind of reaction did Jillian expect from him? The doll remained still, silver eyes staring blankly at Jillian. Disappointment flashed through his eyes before he recovered swiftly and tugged on the sash around Lu Yizhou’s waist with trembling fingers. "I am going to do this, okay? If you don’t want me to, you have to give me some kind of signal." Nothing happened, not even the slightest breeze so Jillian steeled himself and pulled.

Without the sash tying it together, the robe instantly fell open on its front, showing a glimpse of chiseled chest and an expanse of smooth, pale skin in a very realistic tone. Lu Yizhou’s nipples poked out through the open robe — holy, they were pink and so, so pretty — and Jillian’s mind crashed down at the sight. His lips parted and he was staring at the doll’s body with a semblance of awe, the previous embarrassment was nowhere to be seen.
