Villain Marrying The Heroine Is Perfectly Plausible, Right?

Chapter 37: A Mother’s Wisdom:

[The most heartbreaking moment in life is when a holiday is about to end, and you have to go back to work]

[There was once a sincere vacation before me, but I didn’t cherish it. By the time I realized it, it was too late to regret it]

[Sigh, how depressing. Looking at the time, I’ll soon have my cast removed and recover, and then I’ll have to deal with the wedding plot]

[Once Xiao Mingyue elopes from the wedding, my plot will become more intense. There will be plenty of scenes where I get beaten by the protagonist]

[A working man’s spirit is in his work. I’m a diligent little villain who works hard to ‘return home in glory.’]

[Come on, Chen Lang!]

At this moment, Chen Lang was lying on his bed, bored, and writing in his diary.

[According to the novel’s progression, the protagonist Ye Chen should be in college, charming girls]

[After several chance encounters in the library, Ye Chen became familiar with the campus belle, Tang Xiaofu]

[Upon learning that Tang Xiaofu’s mother was bedridden due to a leg illness, he played the role of a miraculous doctor and cured Tang’s mother, instantly winning Tang Xiaofu’s heart.]

[Sigh, thinking about such a gentle and beautiful girl becoming part of Ye Chen’s harem somehow makes me feel a bit sad. Why is that?]

[Maybe it’s because of the soup she used to make for me. After all, she took care of me, and I had her breakfast for five days straight. I kind of miss the taste.]

[The key is that Tang Xiaofu only appears in the plot while the protagonist is a college security guard. After that, there’s hardly any plotline for her]

[This is a common flaw among many lousy authors. Since the protagonist is growing, if the female lead can’t keep up with his growth, she just disappears from the plot.]

[After Ye Chen stops being a college security guard, the plot shifts to corporate drama, and then it’s all about the world of cultivation. Tang Xiaofu, as the campus belle, is only promised that Ye Chen will find her after graduation, and then she’s out of the picture]

[Thinking about it this way, I really feel bad for Tang Xiaofu. In the end, she’s just a tool in the author’s hands to push the plot forward. Sigh, it’s just a silly novel written by a silly author]

Chen Lang finished writing today’s journal and uploaded it.

[Ding! Upload successfully! Congratulations, host,]

[You have obtained ‘Chi You’s Medical Skills’!]

In an instant, a vast amount of medical knowledge flooded into Chen Lang’s mind.

???

He just mentioned that the protagonist shows off his miraculous medical skills, and now the system gave him Chi You’s Medical Skills?

But he was the villain! What would he need these skills for?

First, it was Chi You’s Battle Manual, then Chi You’s Battle Body, and now it’s Chi You’s Medical Skills.

System, are we just milking Chi You dry? Does the old man even know about this?

…

After reading Chen Lang’s latest diary entry, Tang Xiaofu felt a bit bitter.

The diary was both right and wrong.

Because she had deliberately avoided Ye Chen, there hadn’t been any chance encounters in the library. But Ye Chen, somehow, found out about her family’s situation.

When he saw her outside the girls’ dormitory one day, he even threatened her.

Ye Chen’s meaning was clear: I could cure your mother’s leg, but only if you agreed to be my girlfriend.

Maybe Ye Chen put it more politely, but to Tang Xiaofu, it was nothing short of a threat!

Tang Xiaofu sternly refused and told Ye Chen to get lost.

But over the past few days, she hadn’t been able to focus in class.

Ye Chen’s words echoed in her mind like a curse.

She knew there was no way she could ever fall for Ye Chen because she already liked someone else. Although the person she liked was worlds apart in status, it didn’t stop this secret affection from quietly growing.

However, Ye Chen said he could cure her mother…

After all, seeing her mother walk again was the shared dream of her entire family.

It was the weekend, and since Tang Xiaofu’s home was in Nanjiang City, she decided to go home for the day. This way, she could also save on a day’s worth of meal expenses.

At the dinner table, her parents quickly noticed her gloominess.

“Xiaofu, what’s wrong? Did something happen at school that’s bothering you?”

The troubled Tang Xiaofu was startled by her mother’s sudden question.

Tang Xiaofu snapped out of her thoughts and pretended to be cheerful and relaxed as she replied, “No, nothing’s bothering me.”

Her father said, “Xiaofu, it’s written all over your face that something’s on your mind.”

Parents knew their children best, and perhaps there really was some kind of telepathic connection between family members.

Her mother added, “Yes, Xiaofu, if something’s troubling you, you can tell us. We might be able to help.”

Realizing she couldn’t hide it anymore, Tang Xiaofu lowered her head and remained silent.

Her mother asked worriedly, “Is it that rich second-generation we bumped into last time? Is he bothering you again?”

Tang Xiaofu quickly shook her head. “No, it’s not him. He’s been really nice, not causing me any trouble.”

“Then what is it?”

Seeing no way out, Tang Xiaofu finally spoke up.

“There’s someone at school who says he can cure your leg, Mom, but the condition is that I have to date him…”

Tang’s parents stared at her, waiting for more details.

The dinner table fell silent for a moment.

Her mother asked, “Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

“Do you like him?”

“No, I actually despise him!” Tang Xiaofu declared firmly.

Her mother suddenly laughed, “If it’s such a small matter, why are you so troubled?”

Tang Xiaofu was stunned, “Huh?”

Her mother looked at her with deep affection and said:

“Maybe my leg injury is a challenge that heaven has placed before our family. There may be many solutions to this problem, but selling your dignity or being threatened by someone is definitely not one of them!”

“Who you like and who you date are entirely different from my leg injury. These are two completely unrelated matters.”

“We live on pride. If my precious daughter were to lose her dignity just to cure my leg, I wouldn’t be happy even if I could stand again! I’d rather lie in bed for the rest of my life.”

“So, Xiaofu, there’s no need for you to be troubled by such a threat. Do you understand?”
