Chapter 33 Spoiled brat × GuardianChildhood friendLove bodyguard (8)
Zhou Xiaxia nodded, her eyes filled with tears, deeply moved.
"So you're still the best to me."
Hearing this, Wen Shitang felt a surge of relief and reached out to wipe away Zhou Xiaxia's tears. It was rare for her to show such genuine emotion; she was truly well-behaved when she wasn't saying such outrageous things.
"Then I'll kiss you from now on, okay?"
Wen Shitang's expression changed instantly. He withdrew his hand, looked at her expectant face, and said coldly:
"Go back to sleep before I hit you."
Zhou Xiaxia protested, "No, I want to kiss you now!"
With a rebellious spirit, she went straight for the lips. Wen Shitang reached out his large hand to control her, and then unexpectedly kissed her palm.
He instinctively withdrew his hand, and seeing Zhou Xiaxia's angry face, he felt completely overwhelmed.
He said helplessly:
"Xiaxia, do you know what this behavior means? This can't happen between us, between you and me!"
Zhou Xiaxia pouted angrily, "Why can't I? You made me do that last night, why can't I now!"
When Wen Shitang heard her say that her mind was in a mess last night, he realized he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and tied her up, leaving her to suffer alone.
“Last night was a special case, but it was wrong. Now that it’s over, wouldn’t it be better to just forget about that mistake?”
Zhou Xiaxia protested, "What's wrong with it? I like it very much."
Wen Shitang looked quietly into her eyes, which were clear and devoid of any emotion. He sighed and began to patiently teach her.
"Xiaxia, look at this house..."
Zhou Xiaxia looked around, and Wen Shitang reluctantly turned her head back to her.
"Now it's just the two of us in this family. We've depended on each other for so many years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm like a brother or a father to you, would it?"
Zhou Xiaxia nodded.
"So, isn't it wrong, isn't it strange that the two of us are like this?"
Wen Shitang spoke tactfully, and Zhou Xiaxia seemed to understand but not quite, yet she still muttered unconvinced, "You're not one of them."
However, seeing her like this, Wen Shitang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was listening.
"That's about right, as long as you understand. Okay, it's late, go to sleep."
Zhou Xiaxia hesitated as she got up, seemingly unwilling, "Is it really not allowed?"
Wen Shitang responded with a dark expression.
She pursed her lips, then a brilliant idea struck her.
"If it doesn't work, then I'll just kiss Gu Xiyan. He definitely won't object. If he does object, could you scare him and beat him up?"
Wen Shitang almost choked on his breath; he was so angry he was about to die.
"Zhou Xiaxia! Do you even know what you're saying! You're a girl, and you're always talking about kissing and being intimate. Is this something you should be thinking about at your age?"
Wen Shitang shouted very loudly, but Zhou Xiaxia shouted even louder.
"Let's not talk about marriage! Let's talk about taking advantage of each other! I can't take advantage of you, so what's wrong with me taking advantage of Gu Xiyan!"
"you dare!"
"I dare! I'll go right now!"
As Zhou Xiaxia was about to leave, Wen Shitang stood up, grabbed her, and took her back to her room.
"Starting today, you're staying home and behaving yourself. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
Zhou Xiaxia stared wide-eyed in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You're not only yelling at me now, but you're also going to abuse me?"
Wen Shitang remained silent.
When did I ever abuse you?
Zhou Xiaxia cried uncontrollably.
"You've already locked me up, so your next step is to stop me from eating, starve me to death, and then make room for me so you can get married, have kids, and have a happy family. What is this if not domestic violence!"
This is all nonsense. That's why Wen Shitang has never won an argument with Zhou Xiaxia over the years. No matter how he tries, he can't keep up with her leaps of thought.
I rubbed my temples; I still had to coax her.
"That's not what I meant, but you can't just kiss anyone. You can only kiss people you like, understand?"
Zhou Xiaxia didn't understand, "I like both of you."
Looking at the ignorant look on her face, Wen Shitang didn't want to argue about this pointless topic anymore. He raised his hand to wipe away her tears. She cried so much; there were so many tears to wipe away in one day.
"Alright, stop crying, your eyes will be swollen tomorrow."
Zhou Xiaxia stopped crying upon hearing this and asked weakly:
"Then are you still going to lock me up?"
Wen Shitang sighed helplessly, "I'm not turning it off. Besides, aren't we going on vacation?"
When it came to the vacation week, Xiaxia became completely well-behaved, afraid that Wen Shitang would get angry and not let her go.
Fine, if she can't take advantage of him, so be it. She'll just have to endure it until the vacation ends. Even if she secretly takes advantage of Gu Xiyan then, as long as he doesn't say anything, Wen Shitang won't know.
Thinking about this made me feel much better and clearer-headed.
Okay, goodnight then.
After saying that, she obediently went to bed without being urged. Wen Shitang was puzzled and felt that she had ulterior motives.
Although I was suspicious, it was late at night, and I hoped that I was just overthinking it.
Wen Shitang turned off the lights and went out the door, leaving V09 speechless in the darkness.
"Is this the storyline you're following? It's supposed to be you playing a young girl in love, not a heartless woman who only kisses and doesn't take responsibility. Can't we just have a normal relationship?"
Besides, you can't leave out these kinds of plot points that can't be written. Even if the male lead wanted to, what's the point of skipping them all the time?
The heartbreak level was rising slowly, but Yao Xiaoxiao wasn't in a hurry; this was just the beginning.
Explain to V09:
"Do you think it's interesting to follow the plot slowly, with me chasing him, me crying and him comforting me, me getting hurt and him feeling sorry for me and taking revenge, going through dangers, and finally confirming our feelings for each other?"
V09 thought about it and thought, "Isn't it pretty good?"
"This is such a normal and healthy romantic relationship. Wouldn't it be better to complete the task easily? Why make it so abnormal?"
Yao Xiaoxiao paused for a moment,
"Xiao Jiu, you said that if we complete our mission and leave, the world of the novel will freeze in time. Is it possible that the world was frozen in time before we arrived?"
V09 thought about it for a moment,
"That's actually possible, but we can't verify it. Fortunately, it doesn't have much to do with us as long as it doesn't affect the mission."
Yao Xiaoxiao disagreed with his statement.
"It's very relevant. Think about it, if that's really the case, what does that mean?"
"What does this mean?" V09 was completely confused.
"It means that it was me, no, to be precise, that you, Xiao Jiu, chose me. It was because of our arrival that their world was opened up."
That makes sense, V09 nodded in agreement, and Yao Xiaoxiao continued to persuade:
"Such a great favor, what's the point if they remain calm and composed on their high platform all day long? Only by being out of control enough, making this show exciting for you to enjoy, can we live up to this favor, right?"
V09 remained silent. What she said made a lot of sense. Their stories weren't exciting, and he found them boring to watch every day.
I can't go in and perform myself; I can only watch them, one by one, in their vibrant and colorful lives, all alone in this space. When will this ever end?
Thinking of those 443 people who died, they followed the script step by step, and then they all died inexplicably.
The same plot had played out 443 times. In the long, boring period, he had almost worn out the plots of these novels, and his heart could no longer be stirred by them.
But Yao Xiaoxiao is different. She cares about him and worries that he might be bored. Even if it means taking risks, she tries her best to make the story exciting. She understands his loneliness.
She also gave him a name.
For the first time, the arrogant and haughty V09 made a heartfelt decision to accept a weak human being.
After thinking for a moment, he said gently, "You've worked hard, but you still need to be more careful in the future. It's okay if it's not exciting sometimes, as long as you complete the task."
This time, the advice was not only to help Yao Xiaoxiao complete the task, but also to encourage her to go further in life.
Seeing that he had imagined it all, Yao Xiaoxiao smiled reassuringly, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. I'm glad I could help you."
