Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess-Chapter 252 : Extra The end Part II
"You have to go this way." Now he believed that she was indeed 'fine.' If he did not care about appropriateness, he would have already taken her hand and led her… Taking care of a drunk woman while trying to remain a gentleman was hundreds of times harder than going into a battle.
While Bai He was heaving a sigh of despair, the troublemaker, who was Xu Peipei, had a different idea. She moved closer to the person behind her, then grabbed his wrist and pulled, trying to lead him as if her consciousness was fully functional.
His skin was still soft!
Bai He, who was oblivious to her thoughts, gave up and let Xu Peipei do as she pleased. When she did not give him an opportunity to pull his wrist away, he just let her hold it. After a difficult journey in which Xu Peipei staggered and almost fell several times, they finally reached the royal garden that was arranged to receive the noble guests.
After she led him into the garden, they walked around to find Xu Luanle, wandering deeper until they entered an empty area that was not occupied by anyone.
Her eyes swept around the large garden. However, the garden was too vast for her to see into every corner. Xu Peipei let go of Bai He's hand and started investigating. But the longer she walked, the deeper the downward curve of her lips became. Tears started falling and pouring out, shocking the person behind her.
"There's no Brother here at all." She should be glad that her older brother had given her an opportunity to be with the man she had fallen in love with in private. However, the effect of the wine had made her forget her original intention. After an unsuccessful attempt at finding her brother, Miss Xu started showing her spoiled nature once again. "I'm leaving!"
"The royal garden is large. Your brother might not be around this area." Bai He did not know what to do. He could only take out his handkerchief and hand it to the person who was crying because she could not find her brother. "Why don't you walk around and try to look for him again?"
Xu Peipei shook her head. Her beautiful face was stained with tears, yet she did not accept the handkerchief from him. Instead, she used her small fist to hit his chest. "I'm really angry with you!"
Bai He watched the woman's 'tantrum' and was reminded of his sister when she was young. From not knowing what to do, he started speaking in a gentle tone, like how he would speak to Bai Yu. "Then I'll help to find your brother. Sounds good?"
"No!"
Agh!
She refused and hit his chest again. Bai He calmly endured the pain. Even though he could easily evade her fist, he did not do it, and he did not know why.
"Pei-er."
"Hic… Don't call me Pei-er!"
Bai He was pushed back to the point of not knowing what to do again.
"Uooohhhhh." Unexpectedly, Xu Peipei collapsed to the floor and cried out. "I'm angry with you. I'm angry with you. I'm angry with you." Her small hand hit the ground, as if it was the face of the person who had angered her. At the same time, the true 'culprit' stood by, stock-still, and was further troubled by not knowing what to do.
"Miss Xu…" If she did not want him to call her that, then he would comply. Bai He kneeled down next to the person who suddenly threw a tantrum. "…Miss Xu."
"Don't call me Miss Xu! Uuuuhhhh." Xu Peipei shouted, her voice mixed with sobs. Then, she raised her hand, which was dirty with soil, to wipe her face, but was stopped by Bai He. Now he was starting to understand that her strange behavior was caused by wine. In other words…she was drunk.
"What should I call you then, hm?" He spoke in a soothing tone as he wiped her palm with his handkerchief, waiting for her answer. Seeing that Xu Peipei did not resist, he reached out to clean her other hand as well.
"Don't call me! Don't speak! Don't wake up…hic…Go back to sleep! You should have continued to sleep!"
Bai He frowned. He did not understand why she wanted him to sleep again when she was the most elated when he woke up.
Xu Peipei pressed her lips together tightly after revealing her thoughts. She wanted him to go back to being asleep. She wanted him to lie still with her beside him. She wanted to take care of him as she wished to, wanted to be closer, unlike the current Bai He, who had woken up and returned to the distant politeness.
Apart from her taking care of him while he was unconscious, Xu Peipei was next to nothing in Bai He's memory.
"Pei-er…"
"I love you!"
Bai He's words were swallowed back down immediately as Xu Peipei blurted out… How could she be this drunk?
"It might sound funny, but…" Her cheeks, which had started to dry, were wet with tears once more. There was no sound of a sob as she continued. "…But I love you, even though there was not even a word between us while I was taking care of you."
"…"
"It's funny, really. For the past several months, I have had you in my mind while you woke up without a trace of me in your life… I'm nothing more than a miss from the Xu family that you treat with common politeness."
"Pei-er…" Bai He looked back at the eyes gazing at him. There was an indescribable feeling within him.
"I love you." Xu Peipei repeated, like a person in a stupor. "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you."
Bai He listened to her love confession with a difficult face. "You're too drunk. Let me take you back home."
"Why?! Can't I say it while I'm drunk?" The smaller person was still stubborn. She lifted her face, reddened from the effect of the wine.
"You're not aware of what you're saying. You're too drunk." Bai He tried not to dwell on the words of the person who was on the brink of unconsciousness because of alcohol. It was not that he did not care about her feelings, but he felt that there would be no use in trying to reason with her right now.
"I'm not drunk. I love you."
"You're drunk."
"I'm not drunk on wine!"
"You are drunk on wine."
"I'm drunk in love!"
"…"
"I'm drunk on love for you!"
"…"
"I love you. Do you hear me?!"
Bai He sighed. "What makes you think you love me?"
"My feelings."
"No…" Bai He shook his head. It might have hurt her, but when it came to this point, he had to say it. "…Believe me. You don't love me."
'Xu Peipei kept repeating that Qin Wang was the man fit for her. That's her reason for trying to take Qin Wang from me. But I'm not afraid of her. That woman only knows what's fitting. She doesn't even know what love is.'

During the many years that Bai Yu loved Ouyang Mingxian, there was one part in her letter that had caught Bai He's attention. Because of it, he could remember who Miss Xu was even though Bai Yu did not often mention her.
Originally, he was not a man who would be biased against a woman. Although Xu Peipei was Bai Yu's friend on the surface, she was, by her nature, an enemy. Until now, he had always tried to be as polite as possible with her. While he would not deny that he greatly appreciated her for taking care of him and staying beside him while he was injured, he could not believe that what she felt was love.
He did nothing to create an impression on her at all. How could he believe that she truly loved him and was not only looking for propriety?
Bai He had seen, countless times, how a marriage arranged out of propriety would turn out. His mother and father were among them. And look at what happened to their marriage?
Ever since that time, Bai He swore to himself… No matter how high or low the Bai family became, he would never marry for propriety.
"I love you. I know myself. I know that I love you. How can you know more about me than I do?"
"Don't say your words of love so wastefully…"
"But I love you! What do I have to do to make you understand?!"
"Let's go back." Bai He carried the drunken person without reacting to her saying 'love' at all. He used martial arts techniques to bring her out of the royal garden and headed to the palace, intending to send her home on her carriage as soon as possible.
"I sincerely love you."
"You're too drunk."
Xu Peipei frowned. She did not care that he did not understand her now. She could say she loved him again later!
…
I love you. Not because you're a perfect and suitable man.
I love you. Not because you're the man who taught me about true love.
I love you… Because I was born to love you.
If you still don't understand… I will continue to love you until you accept that I love you!
