Villain Marrying The Heroine Is Perfectly Plausible, Right?

Chapter 39: Tang Xiaofu Actually Told the Protagonist to Get Lost:

When Tang Xiaofu saw Chen Lang, there was a moment of surprise and delight in her eyes.

“Chen Lang, congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital!”

Chen Lang noticed that Tang Xiaofu’s demeanor had changed a bit. The last time they met, she always had a worried expression, a kind of pitiful aura that made others feel sorry for her.

But now, Tang Xiaofu radiated confidence and warmth, making her appear more graceful and composed. If this were an anime, it would seem like she was glowing with a holy light.

Hmm.

Chen Lang thought, both Cheng Jinjin and Tang Xiaofu seemed different from how they were a month ago. Could it be that dating the protagonist, Ye Chen, changes people this much?

Leaning against the car window, Chen Lang asked, “You seem so happy. Did something good happen recently?”

Tang Xiaofu blushed slightly. “Not really. I’m just happy that you’re recovering and out of the hospital. Oh, I made a bracelet for you.”

As she spoke, Tang Xiaofu took out a bracelet woven from red string from her backpack and handed it to Chen Lang.

“This red string was blessed at Niushou Mountain. I hope it brings you health and good luck!”

Chen Lang took the bracelet and put it on his wrist.

In the setting sun, its color looked especially vibrant. The intricate patterns in the weave showed the effort she had put into it.

“Were you really waiting here on purpose? You could have just messaged me!”

Tang Xiaofu smiled slightly. “It’s fine. I calculated the time and figured you’d be getting your cast removed today, so I waited here in advance.”

Chen Lang waved his wrist with the red string. “Thank you, it looks great!”

Chen Lang couldn’t shake the feeling that Tang Xiaofu’s demeanor had changed a lot since their first meeting—she seemed much more confident now.

Could it be that Ye Chen had already healed her mother’s leg?

Yes, that must be it!

The timeline seemed to match up; the protagonist’s medical skills must have already been showcased.

Casually, Chen Lang asked, “You mentioned before that your mother had a leg injury. How is she now? Has she recovered?”

At the mention of this, Tang Xiaofu’s eyes dimmed for a brief moment, but she quickly returned to her bright demeanor.

“Not yet. I plan to take my mother to a big hospital after graduation…”

What? Not yet? Did that idiot protagonist not heal Tang Xiaofu’s mother?

Chen Lang suddenly felt that something was off. In the original novel, this red string wasn’t meant for him—it was something Tang Xiaofu got at Niushou Mountain for her mother. It was during Ye Chen’s heroic rescue at Niushou Mountain that he learned about Tang Xiaofu’s mother’s illness. Now, Tang Xiaofu had given the red string to him, and her mother hadn’t been healed?

Chen Lang felt a bit overwhelmed.

Why were all these details different from the plot?

Leaning on the car window, he asked vaguely, “So, no one has been able to heal your mother’s condition yet?”

Tang Xiaofu shook her head and didn’t hide anything. “No, not yet. There was someone at school—he was the security guard who barged into your hospital room, Ye Chen. He said he could heal my mother, but only if I agreed to be his girlfriend.”

“And what happened then?”

Tang Xiaofu smiled. “I told him to get lost! I told him to get as far away as possible!”

What?

Chen Lang was stunned.

Tang Xiaofu continued, “That guy was really annoying. He kept bothering me. That day, I just yelled at him to leave, and it felt pretty good.”

“I’m going to work hard after graduation. I’m determined to get my mother’s leg healed as soon as possible. That’s my goal, and having a goal gives you motivation.”

Chen Lang struggled to keep from laughing out loud.

“Alright, I wish you the best in achieving your goal. I’ve got some things to do, so I’ll be off. Goodbye!”

“Bye-bye!” Tang Xiaofu waved gently as the sports car roared away from the hospital, watching the taillights disappear into the distance.

…

(Back in his bedroom)

Chen Lang immediately called out to the system.

“System, we have a problem! A big one! The plot details aren’t matching up!”

“The female lead actually told the protagonist to get lost! Can you believe that?”

“…”

“Hello?”

He waited for a while, but the system didn’t respond.

Damn, what a useless system.

Chen Lang opened the diary system, his face filled with worry.

[Tang Xiaofu actually told the protagonist to get lost??]

[It’s obvious that Ye Chen’s romantic subplot in the school is falling apart!]

[Heaven and Earth can bear witness; it’s the protagonist who messed up, not me, the villain!]

It didn’t really matter that the protagonist’s plotline was collapsing, but Chen Lang wanted to make sure he wasn’t blamed for it.

[Looking at it now, Tang Xiaofu is actually quite pitiful. In the original novel, the only benefit she got from the protagonist, aside from his scummy promises, was that her mother’s leg was healed.]

[And now, even that benefit is gone.]

[Maybe I should help Tang Xiaofu? After all, I did eat so many of her home-cooked meals.]

Now that he had acquired Chi You’s medical skills, he should be able to heal her mother, right?

[Sigh, I have to admit, my only flaw as a villain is that I’m too soft-hearted.]

[I’m actually going out of my way to create work for myself.]

[In the last world, I almost didn’t make it back because I was too soft-hearted and ended up killing the protagonist.]

[Helping Tang Xiaofu isn’t about advancing Ye Chen’s plot. It’s just to repay her for those breakfasts.]

[And besides, she’s kind of pitiful.]

[…And, she’s kind of pretty too…]

Chen Lang felt that if he was going to help, he should get it done within the next couple of days.

After all, once the marriage plot started, he’d be too busy to deal with these matters.
