Every Day the Villain Continues to Fail [Quick Transmigration]
Ruan Yao covered his mouth with his hand, his face full of discomfort, then rushed toward the bathroom.
"What’s wrong with Ruan Yao?" A senior from the logistics team looked worriedly at the young man’s hurried figure.
Chu Lingyi lowered his gaze to the cup on the table. Realizing something, he gave a faint smile. "Maybe he’s not feeling well. I’ll go check on him"
"If it’s our turn to perform, please explain it to the teacher" he added.
The handsome young man appeared so polite and kind that it would be difficult for anyone to refuse his request.
If Ruan Yao had been there, he would have snapped in frustration, "There’s no way the word ‘kind’ suits someone like Chu Lingyi!"
"Then, thank you so much, Chu!" The logistics team senior looked at Chu Lingyi with heartfelt gratitude, her bright smile spreading across her face. "It seems your relationship with Ruan Yao isn’t as bad as people say"
Chu Lingyi simply gave a small smile and replied, "Maybe"
At that moment, everyone was busy crowding the hall and backstage for the rehearsal preparations. The bathroom was completely empty.
Ruan Yao forcefully pushed open the bathroom door, quickly walking several steps before stopping at the sink. Unable to hold it in anymore, he started dry heaving.
He desperately tried to stick his slender fingers down his throat, hoping to vomit something out. However, no matter how many times he tried, nothing came up.
It seemed the drug had already spread throughout his body and begun taking effect.
Staggering, Ruan Yao braced himself against the cold marble sink. Under the harsh lighting, his face looked deathly pale.
His long fingers gripped the edge of the sink tightly with the last of his strength to keep himself from collapsing onto the floor.
His almost translucent white skin made his reddened eyes from dry heaving look even more pitiful.
It was as if, with just a slight blink, tears would spill from his eyes.
Ruan Yao covered his mouth, forcing himself to cough a few more times. His already pale face flushed from the effort.
His once neatly styled black hair had become disheveled, with strands damp with sweat sticking to his cold, white cheeks.
The handsome young man, dressed in a perfectly fitted suit, looked fragile as he leaned against the sink. Under the dim light, his flawless face seemed even more alluring.
Chu Lingyi closed the door behind him and slowly approached Ruan Yao.
"How stupid" the well-dressed and composed young man remarked flatly.
Ruan Yao, unable to move due to the drug’s effects, could only glare at Chu Lingyi with his clear black eyes.
"If you’re only here to mock me, you can just leave" he said with difficulty. His anger-laced words came out slowly, and he nearly bit his own tongue.
As the youngest, spoiled by his family, Ruan Yao had never experienced such humiliation. His eyes immediately reddened, filling with tears that made his long, curled lashes even wetter.
Like a butterfly with damp wings, if not rescued soon, he would become prey for an even crueler hunter.
Chu Lingyi always seemed powerless when it came to Ruan Yao.
He sighed and lowered his head, adding sharply, "Stupid and sly. You don’t even have the brains to harm someone properly."
Already frustrated that his plan had failed, Ruan Yao grew even angrier at Chu Lingyi’s relentless mockery. With what little strength he had left, he snapped back, "If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be like this!"
Ruan Yao’s tear-filled eyes could no longer hold back. Droplets fell onto his soft, pale cheeks, trailing down his slender neck and disappearing beneath the suit adorned with a sapphire blue pin.
Today, Ruan Yao had deliberately worn that sapphire pin to complete his outfit. Its clear and deep blue color accentuated his porcelain-white skin, making him look both luxurious and elegant.
Unfortunately, that beautiful image was now in ruins.
All the strength in Ruan Yao’s body seemed to be drained by some invisible force. He leaned against the wall, trembling, his expression full of hurt, like a child feeling deeply wronged.
Perhaps because of his young age, his smooth cheeks still had a soft layer of baby fat, and his slightly pouting lips made him look even more adorable.
Chu Lingyi lowered his cold, dark eyes, staring at Ruan Yao without a trace of pity.
After a moment, Chu Lingyi casually uttered two words "So spoiled"
"Why would I be spoiled? Did I eat your rice or something?" Ruan Yao didn’t want to be seen in such a pathetic state by someone he despised. He turned his face away in defiance.
In truth, Ruan Yao didn’t want to cry either, but his body was too sensitive. Even a slight emotional stir made his eyes turn red.
If he heard a few harsher words, his tears would surely flow uncontrollably, like a broken dam.
Chu Lingyi, who initially intended to throw a few more jabs, fell silent when he saw the pretty boy with a bad temper stubbornly turning his face away, trying to hide his tear-streaked cheeks.
Chu Lingyi was stunned for a few seconds.
He really had no experience comforting people. Watching Ruan Yao sobbing, he could only swallow all the sharp words he had prepared.
"Alright, that's enough"
With his teary eyes, Ruan Yao glared at Chu Lingyi. Somehow, from that cold and almost unchanging face, he caught a glimpse of frustration.
"I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I’m sorry" Chu Lingyi finally said.
Whether he liked it or not, he had to shoulder all the blame so that Ruan Yao would let him help.
"Even girls aren’t as whiny as you" Chu Lingyi remarked while effortlessly lifting Ruan Yao’s light body.
Ruan Yao was far too skinny. Due to dance training, he kept his figure slim and elegant. From that perspective, he didn’t resemble an average high school boy at all.
Ruan Yao’s limp arms fell onto Chu Lingyi’s chest. His face still showed a fierce expression, but with a tone full of confidence, he said, "If you hadn’t agreed to go on stage with me, none of this would’ve happened"
In reality, Ruan Yao only got the chance to perform on stage because he was riding on Chu Lingyi’s coattails.
But as a spoiled antagonist who always acted unreasonably, of course, Ruan Yao had to twist the facts.
Hearing that, Chu Lingyi suddenly stopped walking.
Ruan Yao didn’t want to admit that he was momentarily startled. Unconsciously, his numb arm suddenly gained strength and reflexively wrapped around Chu Lingyi’s neck.
"Do you dislike being with me that much?" Chu Lingyi’s light tone made it hard to tell if he was angry or not.
The pretty boy in his arms scrunched his face up completely. He buried his face in Chu Lingyi’s chest, his cheek pressed tightly against the man’s chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
However, no matter what, he was still a man. Being carried like a princess by another man made him feel utterly humiliated.
The tips of Ruan Yao’s ears turned red.
"System, how long do I have to stay like this? Can’t the effects of this drug wear off already?" Poisoning himself was truly foolish.
As the one at fault, Ruan Yao could only feel regret. Deep regret.
The system hesitated before replying, "Well, there is a way. But the question is, are you willing to do it, Host?"
Ruan Yao immediately agreed. He was afraid that if he kept provoking Chu Lingyi, he’d end up being thrown aside.
Maintaining this character is so hard, he thought with a sigh.
Ruan Yao grumbled quietly.
"According to the mission rules, if you and Chu Lingyi kiss for more than thirty seconds, the drug's effects will automatically disappear"
Whether from embarrassment or something else, the system appearing as a small metal box, hyly covered its face with a tiny floral handkerchief in the sea of consciousness.
"Huh?" Ruan Yao was stunned. "Who made such a ridiculous rule?"
"What did you just say?"
Startled, Ruan Yao didn’t realize he had spoken that complaint aloud.
His phone, placed on the sink, vibrated. It was a call from the event committee.
Taking a deep breath, Ruan Yao closed his eyes and spoke with resignation.
"Lower your head a little" Because of his embarrassment, Ruan Yao’s voice was barely above a whisper.
Chu Lingyi didn’t know what else to do but obediently lowered his head.
His high-bridged nose nearly touched Ruan Yao’s soft cheek, and through his breath, he could faintly catch the natural scent of peach blossoms from Ruan Yao’s body.
Ruan Yao was frozen, staring at Chu Lingyi’s face that was drawing closer.
As the main character, Chu Lingyi had a face as cold as fine snow, with sharp features and porcelain-white skin that seemed to glow.
His brows and eyes looked as if they had been carefully painted by a renowned artist’s brush.
He always reminded people of elegant and noble officials from ancient times. Ruan Yao felt as if he were tainting a flower high atop a mountain.
He bit his lip and tried to lean in, but frustration crept in when his weak body couldn’t quite reach Chu Lingyi’s lips.
“Lower your head a bit more!” Ruan Yao started feeling extremely embarrassed and slightly panicked.
Chu Lingyi, as if watching a child throwing a tantrum, obediently lowered his head a little further.
“Do you want to say something?” At this moment, Chu Lingyi still hadn’t realized what this spoiled, hot-tempered boy was trying to do.
A second later, his lips touched something soft.
Ruan Yao’s lips felt sweet.
At that moment, Chu Lingyi’s mind went blank. For the first time, he lost his ability to react quickly.
Ruan Yao quickly pressed his lips against Chu Lingyi’s, then pulled back with a flushed face.
He was afraid that Chu Lingyi would get angry and throw him into the hallway at any moment.
However, Chu Lingyi remained silent, staring at him. His porcelain-like skin slowly turned a visible shade of red.
“S-System, is he… embarrassed?”
Ruan Yao asked with a trembling voice.
“I-It seems like it” the system replied.
Seeing that Chu Lingyi still hadn’t reacted, Ruan Yao closed his eyes.
If I don’t feel embarrassed, then the one who’s embarrassed must be the other person.
His long eyelashes, like raven feathers, trembled before he roughly pressed his lips against Chu Lingyi’s face again.
Oh no.
His lips bumped into Chu Lingyi’s teeth.
Tears instantly welled up in Ruan Yao’s eyes from the pain. In the end, no one knew how things had escalated to this point.
When Ruan Yao regained his senses, he found himself sitting on the marble table. He struggled to lift his head, while one large, cold hand from Chu Lingyi gripped the back of his slender neck tightly, as if it might snap.
So fragrant.
Ruan Yao’s scent grew stronger, enticing and making anyone lose focus. It was like falling into a peach blossom forest, with petals swirling through the air.
Ruan Yao’s fairy-like, beautiful face smiled with an alluring charm amidst the pink mist. His slightly parted red lips revealed neat, snow-white teeth.
The darkness in Chu Lingyi’s eyes deepened.
Ruan Yao was kissed so intensely that he couldn’t breathe, his chest even ached. Wasn’t this....wasn’t this only supposed to last for 30 seconds? Why was it taking so long?
Besides, the effect of the drug didn’t seem to be wearing off either.
That was the thought running through the young man, whose body had gone weak from the kiss.
