Villain Rescue System - Chapter 29

The eyes of the girl on the bed were closed, and the summer sun was very strong, falling on her face and closed eyelids.

Seemingly feeling the sun, Wen Long frowned slightly.

Only then did Yan Li move.

He approached the window, covered half the windows with the curtains, and sat down beside her bed.

The girl’s brows finally stretched out.

He didn’t wake her up. His dark pupils stuck to her face as if it couldn’t move.

His eyes fell from her eyebrows, to her upturned nose, and then to her slightly whitish lips.

Aunt Zhang had said that the eldest lady was a beautiful girl.

She was indeed beautiful.

He glanced again at the dazzling white cloth wrapped around her neck.

When he looked up again, Wen Long’s closed eyes had opened for some time, and she was staring at him coldly at the moment.

“What are you doing here?”

“…Visiting the sick.”

In fact, he came to say goodbye to her.

Wen Long tugged at the corner of her lower lip, and said mockingly, “Visiting a sick person empty-handed?”

Yan Li fell silent.

He really didn’t know that he needed to buy something. 

“…What do you want? I’ll buy it.”

There was everything in the cabinet next to the hospital bed, all kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables and snacks.

What would Wen Long want? It was just a few words to make things difficult for him.

“I want to eat grapes, go and wash them for me.”

After more than half a month, even if Yan Li was no longer working in the Wen House, Miss Wen still ordered him naturally.

Yan Li didn’t say anything, got up and picked a small string from the cabinet and took it to the built-in sink to wash.

When he came out, he took out a few more sheets of tissue paper, picked the grapes one by one, dried them, and kept them in the fruit box by the window.

Then, he picked the largest one from the inside, peeled off the skin little by little, and handed it to Wen Long’s lips.

Wen Long was stunned for a moment.

She just asked him to wash some grapes. Did she tell him to feed her?

But the fragrant green pulp had already been handed to her mouth, so Wen Long had to take it for granted and ate it from his hand.

Her lips inevitably touched Yan Li’s fingers.

She didn’t notice that Yan Li’s other little finger, curled in the palm of his hand, trembled slightly at that moment.

“Cough, cough, cough!!”

The coughing that came from behind him was too deliberate.

Yan Li turned his head slowly and glanced behind him.

The door of the ward was opened halfway. Wen Wenyuan, who had squeezed half of his body, was staring at him.

Yan Li: “?”

Soon, he realized that Wen Wenyuan was not staring at him, but the hand that was near Wen Long’s lips.

He silently took his hand back.

Seeing Wen Wenyuan’s strange behavior, Wen Long asked, “Dad, are you okay?”

“No, no, hehe, I won’t bother you.” 

After saying that, he gave Yan Li another wink before closing the door.

“What did my dad say to you?”

Yan Li said calmly, “He thought we were a couple and asked me to break up with you.”

He didn’t seem to feel embarrassed or ashamed at all, just calmly told the truth.

Wen Long frowned, “Ha! How could he think I would be a fool like you?”

“…I don’t know.” He threw the peel in his hand into the trash can, paused, and asked, “Do you want to eat more?”

“No, I’m going to sleep. You can go back.”

“Oh.”

Yan Li stood up and looked at her closed eyes for a while before saying, “Goodbye.”

It should be their last bye.

Her father probably wouldn’t want him to see her again. However, he didn’t seem to need to see her either.

Although she was injured because of him, he didn’t feel any guilt about it.

Thinking about it that way, Yan Li felt stuffy, as if he was shrouded in a haze.

“Goodbye,” he didn’t leave directly, but said it again for some reason.

Goodbye…

He repeated it again in his mind.

*

On the day the college entrance examination results came out, Yan Li was first in the grade as expected, and third in the province. He was only three points lower than the provincial champion.

His class teacher called him after the results came out, and the excitement in his words was undisguised.

However, he who received all kinds of congratulatory calls and text messages hid in a small room, huddled on the bed and responded expressionlessly.

Many people he couldn’t remember or didn’t know at all congratulated him on the phone.

However, there was no one by his side, not even the father who always beat him.

The lights in the room were not turned on, the curtains were drawn, and the room was very dark.

Yan Li didn’t answer the incoming calls, just waiting for those unfamiliar phone numbers to hang up by themselves.

He felt a little tired after a long time.

It wasn’t until a call came with a contact’s name that Yan Li’s eyes became slightly brighter.

– Wen Ruan.

He picked up the call.

“Hello? Yan Li?”

“Um.”

“I heard from the teacher that you are third in the province! Congratulations!”

“Yes.” After two seconds, he added, “Thank you.”

“You should be applying for A University, right? I am also ranked tenth in the grade, and with my score I will also join A University. We will be in the same university from now on.”

Yan Li responded and fell silent again.

For some reason, he wanted to hear something else on the phone.

But no, Wen Ruan hung up the phone after saying a few words.

He kept the phone aside, and when he moved, the hair on his forehead pierced his eyes.

Yan Li shook his head, only to realize that his hair had grown until his eyes.

He got up and took out the scissors from the cabinet.

But when he raised his hand to cut, he seemed to think of something, and his movements suddenly stopped, and after a while, he put the scissors back, and decided to go to the barbershop.
