Chapter 18: Enriching the Villain’s Character
After Han Jing left, Shen Yingxue sat on the bed in a daze.
His daze this time was different from the previous ones. In the past, when Shen Yingxue was in a daze, her eyes seemed to be focused in the air, as if there was really someone there. If you didn't know that Shen Yingxue was crazy, you would have thought there was something dirty there.
Shen Yingxue is different now. Jiang Hanfeng can see that he is in a trance and no one knows what he is thinking about.
Shen Yingxue had almost admitted that she was pretending to be crazy.
When facing Jiang Hanfeng, she no longer concealed anything and treated him with the most comfortable and honest attitude.
Jiang Hanfeng was very pleased that his efforts during this period had paid off.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Hanfeng asked. He knew that Shen Yingxue's Dantian was damaged and most of her body was destroyed. She must be very upset to have gone from being a proud child to being like this. "If you can give up revenge, I will do my best to protect you."
"Thank you for your kindness." Shen Yingxue looked at him, her gesture of rejection very obvious.
He couldn't give up revenge, Shen Yingxue's character was like this, she would never take revenge and would always hold a grudge. He knew himself too well, if he couldn't hold a grudge, even if he found the technique the system said and cured his injuries, he would still be sick from anger and probably wouldn't live long.
Moreover, the paratroopers outside had no intention of letting him go. If he did not resist, would he let them do whatever they wanted? Shen Yingxue would not hand his life over to others. If Shen Yingxue died one day, it must be his own choice.
Jiang Hanfeng also knew that asking Shen Yingxue to give up her hatred was embarrassing him. He did not persuade her again, "Why did you appear at Fu Sheng's place today? Did they do anything to you?"
Shen Yingxue didn't know how to answer, so she said coldly, "I'm fine."
Jiang Hanfeng initially thought that Shen Yingxue was tricked out by Han Jing and Fu Sheng. When he first found him, he was still worried about him. Later, he realized that Shen Yingxue was not crazy. Seeing the two people in the restaurant, he would definitely not be indifferent. It was probably because Shen Yingxue broke his own acupuncture points, which caused him to vomit blood. He wore a mask to cover his face, but he didn't expect Han Jing to be there and recognized him.
He was able to survive, it should not be because Fu Sheng and his men showed mercy. With Han Jing's personality, he would wish Shen Yingxue dead, even if Fu Sheng wanted to use Shen Yingxue, Han Jing would not agree.
The only thing they didn't expect was that Shen Yingxue was not crazy.
Fu Sheng wanted to take Shen Yingxue away, but Han Jing had planned it in advance and took him far away, intending to kill him secretly. Unexpectedly, Shen Yingxue was conscious and tried his best to kill the man even though his body was so bad. Then he changed the clothes of the person he killed and cleaned himself up.
Considering Shen Yingxue's character and ability, this guess should be very close to the truth.
"You have seen the situation outside. People from all sides are looking for you, and your guard may not be loyal."
Jiang Hanfeng knew that Shen Yingxue was a very proud person. Those who could make a name for themselves in the martial arts world were not of a peaceful nature. Even Jiang Hanfeng himself would have a sense of superiority when interacting with others. This sense of superiority would make them arrogant and conceited, and they could not stand the restraint and threats of others. Jiang Hanfeng cared about Shen Yingxue very much. He paused for a moment and organized his words, "I hope you can stay here to recuperate. Now is not a good time to confront her head-on."
"I know." Shen Yingxue said, "I'm not that crazy yet."
Jiang Hanfeng felt that the tone he used when he said this was very subtle, especially the word "crazy", which was filled with complex emotions.
For Shen Yingxue, pretending to be crazy should be an extremely humiliating means of self-protection.
Shen Yingxue took a nap, and 24 hours later, the mosaic returned on time, blocking his vision. Shen Yingxue no longer had to pretend to be the domineering leader of the evil cult, nor did he have to deal with those people's temptations. He directly called the system: [Where is the drama I was watching yesterday! Wait for me to find something to eat, and then continue watching! ]
The system found the location where he watched the show last time and projected it from Shen Yingxue's mind onto the white wall in front of him, allowing him to follow the show and comment on it along with Shen Yingxue.
[The old dramas still have the spirit of the underworld, and the martial arts dramas that came later don’t have that flavor.] Shen Yingxue said, [The world I’m in now doesn’t have that flavor either.]
The system asked him: [What does it smell like?]
[It feels like a man who dies for his friend, sacrificing his life for justice.] Shen Yingxue thought about it, [In fact, modern people also like this kind of argument. In TV dramas, people who have a firm goal and die heroically, whether they are good guys or bad guys, will be liked by people.]
System: [Yes.]
Shen Yingxue looked at the second male lead who was drinking while hanging on a tree in the play, and touched her face. [I should be better looking than this actor, right? What do you think of me creating a character for myself?]
The system is curious: [What kind of character is this?]
[What the original owner did is clear as day. I don’t like to turn bad people into good people, but sometimes pure bad people are more eye-catching.] Shen Yingxue said, [What do you think the original owner was thinking when he went crazy?]
"I have dismissed all the disciples outside. I am the only one here. If other people come here, someone will inform them in advance. You can be more casual here and don't have to put yourself in a difficult position." Jiang Hanfeng said.
Three years ago, Shen Yingxue had lost all his heart and everyone close to him had betrayed him. After going through this, he must have been very cautious and didn't dare to trust others easily. Shen Yingxue had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and lost all her self-esteem. Jiang Hanfeng felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't think too much when he was talking with Shen Yingxue, but before going to bed, the little things he did with Shen Yingxue emerged uncontrollably in his mind.
It is said that Han Jing was with Jiang Zhiyi on the way back with Shen Yingxue. Han Jing tortured Shen Yingxue in private, and Shen Yingxue could only endure it and could not show any sign of sobriety.
Jiang Hanfeng didn't know how Han Jing tortured him, but he could imagine that with Han Jing's personality, Shen Yingxue would not have an easy time along the way.
When he first came to this waterside pavilion, Shen Yingxue was also very alert, like a frightened cat, and any movement would attract his attention. It was not until he got familiar with it that Shen Yingxue became quiet and well-behaved - that was indeed the most decent way to pretend to be crazy and save effort.
Jiang Hanfeng didn't want Shen Yingxue to suffer such humiliation again. He wanted to let Shen Yingxue live a more comfortable life. He also wanted to get to know Shen Yingxue and become a real friend.
Jiang Hanfeng looked at the dazed Shen Yingxue. After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, he could not help but step forward, "Shen Yingxue?"
Shen Yingxue still ignored him.
Jiang Hanfeng came in front of Shen Yingxue and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Yingxue just realized that Jiang Hanfeng was talking to him. He tilted his head out of habit and said to the system: "I think this guy is easy to get along with. Why don't we practice with him? Let me think about what kind of reaction I should make?"
