Chapter 5: The Unpredictable Villain
"My parents were never at home, so I cooked all the food myself. You don't know, when I first started learning to cook, no one taught me. I could use up a bag of salt in three days, and I would smash all kinds of pots and pans."
"Later, as I gained experience, I gradually got better at cooking. These are some of my favorite dishes."
"Eat it quickly. If you think it tastes good, I'll make it for you every day."
There was a sincere smile on Rongyu's face.
This was something Ye Chenyin had never seen before. Ever since he could remember, his surroundings were full of intrigue and bullying.
He was born into a heartless family and no one had ever said such words to him.
Ye Chenyin picked up the egg from the plate and put it into his mouth. It was sour and a little sweet, and very delicious.
It is indeed a new approach.
It seems that Rong Yu will chatter non-stop whenever there is food, talking about how to cook dishes and funny things that happened in real life.
Although Ye Chenyin didn't understand, he didn't seem to be annoyed by this feeling.
After finishing the meal, Ye Chenyin wanted to continue working, but was stopped by Rongyu.
"It's already midnight. Staying up late is not good. Go to bed early. Let's go."
"The villain is in a good mood. His dark energy has dropped by 5%. Come on, host."
As expected, no one can remain unmoved by concern, even if he is a villain.
Ye Chenyin let Rongyu pull him to his yard, and suddenly stopped when he was about to reach the door.
Rongyu pulled twice but it didn't move, and she didn't understand why.
Su Ran's neck was locked again and his back was pressed against the door.
"The show is over."
It turns out this person was just pretending. Damn it, it was a waste of my food.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
The icy voice was even colder than the winter weather.
Rong Yu was almost suffocated by the strangulation and slapped his arms desperately.
How can you speak when your throat is strangled?
Ye Chenyin let go, Rongyu collapsed to the ground, coughing desperately.
'Blackening value 100%'
This beast really has no heart.
"Why does your system feel like you're completely useless? You can't even tell it's pretending."
"Oh, host, please don't be offended. I'm a newly developed system and this is my first time performing a mission. Many of the systems are not perfect. Please forgive me."
"You are even more of a beast than he is."
It was dark and I could only see the silhouette of the person but not his expression, but I could still feel the murderous look in his eyes.
Rong Yu got up from the ground, reached out and grabbed Ye Chenyin's hand and placed it on his chest, letting him feel his heartbeat.
"I never intended to harm you. I've said it before. I was forced to kill you. If I didn't kill you, I'd have been crippled and whipped a hundred times. I thought my life was up to fate, but Your Highness saved me. I really want to repay you. I cooked for you today because I want you to believe that I'm sincere and genuine. What will it take for you to believe me?"
These were words from the heart, but Ye Chenyin just sneered.
He pushed hard and the door behind him was knocked open by Rongyu.
Rongyu grabbed his hand in panic and almost fell down.
Ye Chenyin walked forward step by step, while Rongyu retreated step by step.
"Look at this room. Is there anything different?"
Rongyu looked around the room. The furnishings were simple, with all the normal daily necessities. It was just a little cold, even colder than outside.
"I have lived in this house for so many years, my heart has long since turned cold."
If there is no sincerity even between close relatives, what about someone who is not a relative?
Rongyu understood that he didn't dare to believe that there was still true love in this world, so he closed himself off.
He lived in this house to remind himself that he had to get back the suffering he had endured in his youth a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
It will probably be a long-term task to regain his trust, so we can't rush it.
"I will prove to you that everything I do and say is sincere. If one day you find out that I have been unfaithful to you, you can kill me immediately and I will have no complaints."
"Why should I give you a chance?"
"Your Highness, are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will move you with all my sincerity and put you in a passive position?"
It’s useless to express your sincerity, you can only use provocation.
Any man can't stand being provoked.
"I don't need you. If I kill you, there will be plenty of people to help me."
Took the bait.
"Yes, someone is helping you, but no one can cook like me, and no one is as loyal as me. In three months, if I can't make you change your mind about me, I will voluntarily die in front of you. Do you dare to bet?"
Ye Chenyin looked at him expressionlessly, wondering what he was thinking.
Although Rong Yu said he was confident, he was actually very nervous inside. No one could guess what the villain was thinking.
Unfortunately, I encountered a system that is not reliable.
"Remember your words."
Rongyu was very happy.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the opportunity."
I can finally put my mind at ease.
Rong Yu went forward diligently to make the bed, and if she hadn't been stopped, she would have gone up to warm the quilt.
In the next few days, except when Ye Chenyin went to court, Rongyu followed him the rest of the time.
I added clothes and poured tea for him, cooked and made snacks for him, accompanied him in handling official business, and ground paper for him.
In order not to annoy Ye Chenyin, she stood aside obediently after finishing her work and accompanied him quietly.
Ye Chenyin was also puzzled. Why was he so familiar with his habits?
When to drink water, when to eat snacks, and when to rest.
He knows what to do with just one move.
"Your Highness has brought someone here."
Siyu's voice came from outside the door.
Rongyu was still wondering who brought it?
Ye Chenyin has already walked to the door.
A young man, dressed simply, was kneeling at the door, shivering.
The man raised his head slightly, then immediately lowered it again, his body shaking even more violently.
"He confessed everything, saying it was the King of Xiang's instructions."
Ye Chenming looked at him with contempt, his brows furrowed. Siyu raised her knife and a bright red blood mark was cut on the man's neck. Blood flowed out and the man died immediately.
Rongyu, who was standing behind him, was so shocked that he forgot to breathe.
He is worthy of being the murderous brother Ma Zi, who can kill people with just one look.
If you offend him in the future, there will be no room for excuses.
There is no other way except to make him believe in himself.
"Send the body to Ye Chenming and say it's my return gift to him."
Is this a murderous act?
"Ye Chenming wanted to plant someone in and take the opportunity to poison Ye Chenyin, but he discovered it."
"He killed people like this, probably just for me to see."
Their eyes met, and Ye Chenyin saw Rong Yu's change from shock to calmness and then to a flattering smile.
Ye Chenyin walked into the study without saying a word.
Rong Yu followed behind him, his intuition telling him that he had to do something, otherwise the goodwill he had gained in the past few days would be lost.
'I can't tell what he's feeling...'
Before he could finish his words, the system went silent.
Crashed?
It turns out that you can never rely on others at any time.
"Your Highness, are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat. How about stir-fried bean sprouts and tofu with green onions?"
Eat some vegetarian food to reduce internal heat.
