Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess-Chapter 87

87 Do you have someone you like? Part II

It was calm inside the carriage.

Ouyang Feilong was silent.

She was also silent.

The current situation resembled the time Ouyang Mingxian had accompanied her home on the first day she came to this world. The difference was that the man in front of her right now was not Ouyang Mingxian but Ouyang Feilong. And though everything was quiet, it was not awkward like that time.

Also, today her heart was beating so fast that she could hear it loud in her ears. Bai Yu sat, holding her hands tightly, with her heated face low and not turning to look anywhere else. In her head was the question from the Emperor that was cut off by Ouyang Feilong before she could answer anything.

Moments after Ouyang Hongxian’s question, her wrist was held to pull her up from the seat. She was tugged away from the garden gazebo by Ouyang Feilong before she could even bid farewell to the Emperor.

He brought her away, amidst the sound of words and laughter from the son of heaven. ‘Then you escort her back too, dear brother.’

Soon after, Ouyang Feilong and her ended up in the same carriage.

Even before they met today, she had yet to think about what she should do to manage her own feelings. And when she came face to face with him, she was at a loss of how to act toward the man who had robbed her first kiss. Then the next moment, they ended up alone together.

.....

It was quite a distance between the palace and the Yue family mansion, but neither of them said anything along the way.

“Thank you, Wangye. I will take my leave here.”

She turned and walk through the gate immediately without looking at the other person’s face. Bai Yu still held her hands together to maintain her posture, even though internally, her thoughts were running wild and clashing into each other. She continued to walk forward, not even stopping to greet her aunt-in-law who was walking past her. Bai Yu headed straight to her building. Her head was full of thoughts that did not allow her to pay attention to her surroundings.

How could she say anything when he said nothing?!

She might be a little more brazen than others, but she was not shameless to the point that she could suddenly mention what happened last time. But if she said nothing, then he would see her as an easy woman and continued to misunderstand her relationship with Xu Luanle. Was there any other way for her to talk about Xu Luanle without mentioning what happened?

Bai Yu had one bad habit...She hated having to wait. Another habit was not wanting to have a loose end, otherwise, she would not be able to sleep, or even if she could, her worry would appear in her dreams.

And she was tired of dreaming about Ouyang Feilong!

She stopped her feet and held her hands up in fists, breathing in deep, before saying an encouragement to herself. “Fight!”

The villainess smiled to herself then turned back, hoping to catch Ouyang Feilong in time. She had not walked away too far, if she hurried, she would be able to make it. Her confidence shot up as she turned around.

“Ah!”

Bai Yu almost fell backward as she hit the tall figure of the person who had been followed her in silence. A strong arm encircled her waist to keep her balance, while her hands instinctively held his shoulders. Bai Yu lifted her eyes to look at the living stone in front of her and found that the face that had appeared in her dreams numerous times was so close that her curse word ‘shit’ could not come out of her mouth.

Ouyang Feilong was gazing at her. As he looked down, the tip of his nose was almost touching Bai Yu’s who was looking up.

“Aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”

“Aren’t you too quiet?”

Ouyang Feilong raised an eyebrow. “Benwang has been following you for a while. Greetings from the servant are heard all the way here, did you not notice them?”

Bai Yu pressed her lips together as a silent acceptance. His golden eyes glittered with amusement. “Please let me go first.”

“You’ve said that it’s normal for friends to hug each other.” His hold around her waist tightened. It was a confirmation that he would not easily let her go.

Thinking back to her words that day, Bai Yu wanted to turn back time to stop herself from saying them in front of him. But now that there was nothing she could do to fix it...

“Then, does Wangye hug other friends the same way Wangye hugs me?” She asked as she stared into his golden eyes. In them held a clear reflection of herself. She had already steeled herself when she was thinking about saying it, but his eyes still made her face uncontrollably hotter.

“You are the only one among benwang’s friends that benwang hugs.”

“And among my friends, you are the only one that kissed me.”

She had said it!

“By that you mean?”

“It means I’ve never kissed any of my friends. You’ve misunderstood me and Xu Luanle.”

“Oh.”

Oh?

Just that?

Damn him!

“Don’t bite your lip.” His long fingers traced her lip that was red from being tightly pressed together. Because of her frustration, she bit her lip out of habit.

The reason was him, the person who had the same face while saying ‘Oh’ as if that kiss meant nothing. How could she not be angry?!

“Let me go.” All the strength in her hand changed from clinging to his shoulders to pushing away. And because the other person had no intention of holding her back, she could easily free herself.

Meaningless!

Everything, it’s all meaningless!

Now Bai Yu knew that Ouyang Feilong did not hold a single thought about her. Even when she tried to get away, he simply let her go. It was no different from that ‘Oh’. These past few days she had been worrying that he would misunderstand, losing sleep over him. It turned out that she was a total fool!

“Please excuse me.”

“Benwang doesn’t allow it.” ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Who would listen to you?!

Her red lips twisted, before pressing tightly. She turned around and hurried away from the spot, forgetting to maintain her manner.

“Ow!”

Sharp pain from her wrist made her cry out. She was pulled by the other person and hit his broad chest again.

“Can’t you stop being stubborn for a moment?”

“Can’t you treat a beauty more gently for once?!”

“Who’s the beauty?”

“Of course it’s the woman in front of you!”

“Benwang only sees a sulking woman.”

“And I only see a selfish man!”

“Then you understand correctly. Benwang came to apologize.” His golden eyes were serious. “Can you forgive this selfish man?”

Bai Yu blinked.

Ouyang Feilong raised an eyebrow. “What’s your answer, Miss Bai?”

Bai Yu blinked, twice.

“Have you turned mute?”

“Mute, your sister!” She stomped on Ouyang Feilong’s foot, forcing him to let go of her. Bai Yu lifted her chin to stare at the man who still maintained his calm face even after being hurt.

“You have to say I’m a beauty first.”

“Benwang doesn’t lie.”

“Then go and apologize to the ants in your palace!”

“Benwang’s palace doesn’t have you.”

“I’m not an ant.”

“That’s why benwang came to apologize to you here.”

“What kind of crime did you commit that you have to ask for forgiveness from this lowly me?”

“Do you really want benwang to say it?” Ouyang Feilong said smilingly.

“Then let bygones be bygones!” She prepared to walk away from him again. This time it was not out of anger, but because of her hot face and wildly beating heart. She could not let him see her in this kind of state.

“Benwang hasn’t allowed you to leave.”

Bai Yu stopped but did not turn back. Strangely, she listened to his words obediently this time.

Ouyang Feilong came to stand in front of her. His large hand took hers to turn its palm up. His thumb stroked all over her smaller palm that was hard and callused from sword practice. “Benwang knows that benwang had angered you, so benwang made this to apologize.

A small, white handkerchief appeared in front of her. Its soft fabric was comfortable to the touch on her palm, unlike the tiny red butterfly embroidered on the corner that did not make her eyes comfortable at all. No matter how she looked at it, she could not find its beautiful part.

“You’ve already trained until you’re a swordsman, so it’s embarrassing that benwang had yet to succeed in sewing. Still, it’s better than just a word of apology.”

Bai Yu gazed at the red butterfly on the corner of the handkerchief. Her dark eyes lifted to look at the person who had sewn it before moving back to the little butterfly that at least looked like a butterfly, then she glanced upward again. The sound of her heartbeat was thundering in her chest. She could not help herself not to utter the words in her mind.

“Is Your Highness courting me again?”
