Level Max Villainous Second Female Lead, Just Wants to Slack Off CHAPTER 22
Chapter 22: Day Twenty-Two of Slacking Off
Fu Shuangxue quickly withdrew his hand.
“No, it’s not…” A blush of embarrassment rose on Fu Shuangxue’s face. Although he was still protecting Xu Tongtong with one hand, he took a half-step back.
He averted his gaze, avoiding looking at Wen Ying, before he dared to say in a low voice: “Senior Sister Wen, I’m sorry, I misunderstood.”
Although Fu Shuangxue’s apology was extremely reluctant, it was genuine.
Apologizing when you’ve done something wrong is necessary, even if it’s to someone you dislike.
“Ah, it’s alright,” Wen Ying waved her hand dismissively.
Before Wen Ying cultivated mind-reading to the highest level, she didn’t know that Fu Shuangxue had such an inner monologue.
Wen Ying didn’t dislike Fu Shuangxue to begin with, and it turned out this child had good manners.
According to the setting, Fu Shuangxue was an orphan picked up by Sect Master Xu Mofeng and grew up in the Xun Xian Sect…
Could someone with Xu Mofeng’s morals raise a child like Fu Shuangxue with such good manners?
Even as a setting, Wen Ying found it unbelievable.
Everything in these fifty-two books, although seen as settings by Wen Ying, should be real life for the people in this world.
Just as Wen Ying was about to pass by Fu Shuangxue and Xu Tongtong, she heard Fu Shuangxue speak again.
“Also…” Fu Shuangxue still kept his head turned, his face even redder, clearly having struggled internally before speaking.
“Hmm?” Wen Ying stopped.
“Also, about the beast incident, I’m sorry.” Fu Shuangxue finished in one breath, “I also once thought that you…were targeting Tongtong.”
Huh?
Wen Ying turned her head to look at Fu Shuangxue.
Before, she had repeatedly turned the tables, but she had never heard Fu Shuangxue apologize to her for the beast incident.
Was it because of slacking off? Even though the results were always mission success, the different processes still led to the birth of a new plot?
Interesting.
Compared to the stereotypically formulaic male lead Fu Shuangxue before, the current Fu Shuangxue seemed more interesting.
Fu Shuangxue, hearing Wen Ying’s prolonged silence, looked back, only to see Wen Ying staring at him with a strange look, like she was trying to lure a child away.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Fu Shuangxue frowned, instinctively taking another half-step back.
“No, no, I just think it’s…quite good.” Wen Ying smiled and patted Fu Shuangxue on the shoulder, “And I accept your apology.”
Seeing Wen Ying’s back disappear, Fu Shuangxue inexplicably shivered in place.
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong with you?” Xu Tongtong tugged at Fu Shuangxue’s sleeve, asking with concern.
“Nothing.” Fu Shuangxue shook his head.
Just now, he seemed to have seen a strange aunt with candy, smiling sweetly, trying to lure a child away.
And he was that child.
What kind of nonsense was this!
Fu Shuangxue stopped his thoughts, refusing to let strange ideas spread.
“That’s good.” Xu Tongtong smiled.
Looking at Xu Tongtong’s smile, Fu Shuangxue couldn’t help but smile and pat Xu Tongtong on the head.
Indeed, Tongtong might not be as intelligent as the gifted disciples in the sect, but he just wanted to protect Xu Tongtong’s simplicity.
As for Wen Ying…
Although his thoughts just now were strange, at that moment, he really didn’t feel the flattery and disgust he usually felt from Wen Ying.
It was like an elder… a real senior sister?
While Wen Ying was looking for a place to dispose of her food, Xu Tongtong and Fu Shuangxue had already sat down.
Fu Shuangxue had reached the level of dietary abstention, and his presence in the dining hall was solely to accompany Xu Tongtong.
After the beast incident last time, Fu Shuangxue was really uneasy about letting Tongtong go to such a crowded place alone.
Although the real culprit, Xu Huang, had been caught, Fu Shuangxue still had a lingering sense of unease.
If the one who released the beast was Wen Ying, he would feel more at ease…
It was as if, Wen Ying harming Tongtong wasn’t a big deal. But if someone else harmed Tongtong, it meant that Tongtong’s surroundings were very dangerous.
Wen Ying: “…”
Was she, the second female lead, really that safe?
That’s right, Wen Ying heard Fu Shuangxue’s thoughts because she had circled around and come back.
She had walked around the dining hall, but hadn’t found a place to dispose of the food.
This…
Wen Ying was stumped.
As a good citizen, she couldn’t bear to litter, especially such a large amount of garbage.
However, she couldn’t bear to keep holding such a disgusting plate of food.
To keep this disgusting food as far away from her as possible, Wen Ying held the plate up high with one hand—she didn’t extend it forward because it was too crowded and there wasn’t enough space.
Just as Wen Ying was hesitating about what to do, a disciple suddenly approached her mysteriously.
The disciple looked around, making sure no one was paying attention, before cautiously approaching Wen Ying’s ear, covering his mouth with his hand and whispering: “Hey, senior sister, are you selling second-hand food?”
What?
Wen Ying was sure her ears were working fine.
Second-hand…food?
