Villain Rescue System - Chapter 57

Since Wen Long moved there, every morning when he woke up, he hugged her from behind for some unknown reason.

So every time he woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was to let go of her hand.

But that day, he looked at the person curled up in his arms, and paused when he pulled out his hand.

Oh… he almost forgot. He had helped her relieve her cough the previous night, and he was holding her when he finally fell asleep.

Yu Li stopped moving.

There was no expression on his face, and his dark eyes stared at Wen Long’s sleeping face.

Because of her, his sleep time was forced to delay by half an hour.

It would be better for her to get well soon so he could get out of bed early.

Her lips were tightly closed, and her face seemed to be better than before, at least her lips were rosy.

That made him confirm that the reason why her cold had not healed was because she stayed out in the cold at night.

By just not going out of the bedroom the previous night, she recovered a little in the morning.

“…”

Inexplicably, that realization made him a little uncomfortable.

As if she was sick because of him.

After a while when his mind was empty, Wen Long also woke up.

She stared blankly at Yu Li’s neck for a moment, as if thinking about why there was such a thing in front of her.

After the memory was returned, she said softly, “Good morning.”

Yu Li blinked slowly, “…Good morning.”

Then, no one spoke again.

In order not to make the atmosphere seem too strange, Wen Long reached out and hugged him, the soft arm wrapped around his waist.

Yu Li froze.

She did hug him like that usually, but on the bed…it was the first time.

After she fell asleep, she turned her back to him most of the time, let alone hugged him face to face.

Neither of them spoke.

After dawdling like that for a while, Yu Li removed the hands around his waist, “I’ll make breakfast.”

Wen Long’s expression froze almost imperceptibly for a second.

If possible, she still hoped that the villain would stop cooking.

But she didn’t say that, but rather smiled and said, “Okay.”

That smile made someone who had no self-knowledge reassured that she really liked his cooking.

…

Twenty minutes later, Wen Long finished bathing and sat at the dining table.

There were steamed egg custard and fried bacon in front of the two of them.

Next to Yu Li’s breakfast was a glass of milk, while hers was a bowl of black stuff, which was her medicine.

Wen Long scooped up a spoonful of custard with a smile on her face, and took a sip.

Hmm… it was so salty.

Yu Li’s eyes fell on the bowl of medicine inadvertently, and he just took a sip out of curiosity.

——It was obviously very bitter. The bitter taste in his mouth had not dissipated.

Wen Long quickly finished the egg and bacon, then picked up the bowl of medicine, and drank it in one gulp.

“Is it bitter?” Yu Li handed her a piece of candy, and asked again like the previous night.

Wen Long had already put down the medicine bowl, and said with a smile, “It’s okay.”

She would rather drink another bowl of Chinese medicine than the unpalatable breakfast he made.

Yu Li couldn’t have imagined that it was not the bowl of dark and bitter Chinese medicine that disgusted his wife, but the dishes he made.

The system couldn’t help but say: [… You worked hard in this world.]

Its function of shielding the sense of taste was not instant, and it would take effect for a long time after one use.

Without a sense of taste, Wen Long couldn’t be sure of the taste when he made lunch, so she didn’t use it again after that.

Wen Long: “It doesn’t matter. The villain’s cooking skills have improved slightly.”

Although the progress was not obvious… at least he wouldn’t make the same low-level mistake of putting sugar as salt.

Yu Li looked at her relaxed expression and said nothing.

With a standard gentle smile on his face, he thought that she lied too.

“What are you busy with today?” Wen Long asked.

“Well, I have to attend the rehearsal for the graduation ceremony.”

Wen Long asked in surprise, “Are you performing?”

“Yes” Yu Li hesitated before continuing, “Violin solo.”

The program for the graduation ceremony was decided a long time ago.

He practiced almost always at school, and never brought the violin home.

Because he used to think that if his wife saw it, she might ask him to play something special for her.

It would be troublesome.

But it seemed to be fine. 

After all, she was very fond of him, and if she did ask him to play for her alone, it would not be entirely unacceptable for the occasional little thing in return.

She would probably look at him with that kind of admiration and longing, and then ask him with a blushing face if he could do another song.

Wen Long was startled, “What did you say… what?”

Didn’t she hear that?

Yu Li patiently repeated it again.

“…”
