I've Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It? Chapter 10

10

Since he had not started practicing the Blood Sea Heart Sutra, he was still capable of suppressing that ball of anger. But this time was limited, and should he not vent his anger out, sooner or later there would be very serious consequences.

Xu Zi Rong exhausted his patience and slowly opened his eyes. He did not hold much hope for Xu Zi Yan's 'surprise', but he wasn't immune to some curiosity.

At the moment when he opened his eyes——

f.u.c.k! ——A foul word bursted out of his mouth.

Pink walls, a pink roof, even the bed sheets on his bed and his blankets were different shades of pink.

A peach pink, a light pink, a golden pink. All kinds of bright and eye-catching colours intertwined in the inside of this small room. Because of the season, even the window had silvery-pink wind chime hanging there.

——That wind chime followed the blowing breeze and gently moved, issuing a crisp jingle.

At this moment, Xu Zi Rong profoundly felt what other people call——to reap what one had sown.

d.a.m.n it!

The blood devil lord's devil's palace had always been either pitch-black or blood-red in colour, so how could there possibly be this kind of pink that only small girls would like??!!

That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Xu Zi Yan must be humiliating him!!! This had to be intentional!!!

Mister Blood Devil had ignored his own likes at that time and instead said pink to make Xu Zi Yan uncomfortable, so he stubbornly decided that this must be Xu Zi Yan's scheme.

As for the contents of that scheme? That wasn't important! It was always Xu Zi Yan who had schemes!!!

Xu Zi Rong's face became gloomy as he saw this room that made him wish he had a blind dog's eyes. Secretly grinding his teeth, he thought: this deed he will also remember. Sooner or later, he will pay back everything to Xu Zi Yan!

Knock knock knock!

Just when Xu Zi Rong was grinding his teeth and trying to imagine how he was going to torment Xu Zi Yan in the future, someone knocked softly onto the door.

Xu Zi Rong instantly a.s.sumed an innocent and guiltless face, before softly saying, "Come in."

"Zi Rong, you woke up?" Xu Zi Yan pushed open the door and walked inside. Seeing Xu Zi Rong swathed in blankets and sitting up on his bed, with his two wide eyes still looking as if he was half-asleep, he couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

Xu Zi Rong cursed silently in his heart, but revealed some shyness on his face as he affirmed, "Uhuh, just woke up."

Xu Zi Yan laughed a bit before using some force to ruffle his hair. He said, "There's nothing embarra.s.sing about just waking up. You are in your home, not outside."

Xu Zi Rong lowered his head slightly, the corner of his mouth twerking in ridicule: his home? Ha……his home only consisted of that ice-cold devil's palace. The Xu house would never be his home.

"Does Zi Rong like this room?" The Xu Zi Yan who did not notice Xu Zi Rong's sneer softly asked.

Xu Zi Rong's expression had that small moment where it cracked, but he quickly returned to his usual mask. He forcefully revealed a smile: "I really like it, thank you big brother."

"You're already calling me big brother, so why are you being so courteous!" Xu Zi Yan patted Xu Zi Rong's shoulders and said: "With your big brother here, in the Xu family there wouldn't be anyone who would dare to bully you. If there is anyone who would raise their hand against you, just tell big brother. I'll help you 'teach' them a lesson."

Having heard that, Xu Zi Rong's eyebrows jumped a bit. When he was living with his mother in that small town, there had also been a time where he wondered how it would be like to have an older brother. Would he also be like the big brothers of other families, who had cared for and protected their younger brothers?

Later, after his mother died and he was found by Xu Xiao, he also felt some hope like that on the road back to the Xu family.

Unfortunately, after he arrived at Xu family, the first thing he received from Xu Zi Yan was just the word 'b.a.s.t.a.r.d'. It completely shattered that longing in his heart.

Now after rebirth, this Xu Zi Yan intended to be a good big brother? It was a pity, because he  had enlightened way too late.  If it was before, perhaps he would still have some hopeful expectations of this. But after experiencing his previous life, he had long thrown away those excessive emotions.

Though he was sneering in his heart, Xu Zi Rong's face was still the very picture of an obedient child. Raising his head, his pretty and wide eyes blinked cutely. "En. I know, big brother."

A white and tender pretty child saying these clever heartfelt words, of course Xu Zi Yan's little brother complex would erupt. Tugging Xu Zi Rong over with one hand, he firmly pressed a kiss onto the other's cheek: "Zi Rong is too sweet! Big brother really likes you~"

This time Xu Zi Rong's eyebrow only jumped a bit. After the previous shocks, he was now extremely calm. He discovered that the current Xu Zi Yan had no resistance at all to his obedient looks and manner. As long as he seemed well-behaved, Xu Zi Yan would reveal that face that looked as if he couldn't wait to dig out his own heart for him.

Kissing his cheek? That was completely fine. His mental notepad had it all remembered, and there would be chances to repay the other in the future.

"Ah, I almost forgot!" Xu Zi Yan knocked on his own head with force as he released Xu Zi Rong.

Xu Zi Rong subtly retreated a bit. Although he could now tolerate the affectionate gestures from Xu Zi Yan, having a little less was always good. Or else remembering all of the other's deeds was also quite troublesome.

"It's almost time to eat. Clean up, and let's go together."

"Okay." Xu Zi Rong obediently answered before crawling up from the bed.

The clothes he was wearing now were the changpao Xu Zi Yan had selected for him before he went to sleep. It was soft and comfortable, and even sleeping in it didn't bring any discomfort.

While he cleaned up, he also observed the various furnishings in the room.

When he had first opened his eyes, he was only preoccupied by how pink the room looked. He actually didn't keenly observe anything.

Eyes gazing around, Xu Zi Rong's eyebrow slightly rose. It wasn't that there was something wrong with the furnishing, but that the furnishing was too good. It really exceeded normal standards.

For Xu Zi Rong's eyesight, obviously he could tell how many good things were in this room.

That insignificant-looking potted plant at the corner of the room, it was the third-ranked spiritual energy gathering spiritual gra.s.s. This spiritual gathering spiritual gra.s.s had the ability to slowly absorb spiritual energy. If you put a stalk in someone's room, it could promote the room owner's ability to absorb spiritual energy.

The vase placed on that table was the second-ranked Four Seasons Like Spring. It's ability was also the same as it's name and it could control the room's temperature and humidity, so one could always enjoy the most comfortable atmosphere.

Just these two items would waste a considerable amount of spiritual energy, and a single look at these things would tell one that it was prepared for someone about to become a cultivator. Xu Zi Rong couldn't even deceive himself and say that it was hand-me-downs from someone else.

Xu Zi Rong sat on his bed and stared smilingly at his Xu Zi Yan, his gaze suddenly turning complex. Before he had thought he had understood Xu Zi Yan to the other's bones, yet the person in front of him had completely overturned his previous thoughts.

Was——he really Xu Zi Yan?

Quietly recovering his gaze, the Xu Zi Rong that raised his head was again that seemingly timid and shy young child.

"Big brother, I'm ready."

"Alright, then let us go." Xu Zi Yan very naturally took Xu Zi Rong's hand, and led him on the path toward the main house's dining room.

Perhaps it was the doubts that existed in his heart, but on this walk Xu Zi Rong carefully observed Xu Zi Yan.

His gait, his posture, and all his little habits. No matter what he saw, it was the same as the Xu Zi Yan in his memories.

The only difference you could find was that black pair of eyes.

The Xu Zi Yan in his last life, his pair of black eyes always revealed aversion and hate whenever the other saw him. Sometimes, there were even hints of killing intent.

However, the Xu Zi Yan in this life didn't have any of that raring to kill intent in his eyes. Rather, they were always filled with smiles and pampering love.

Xu Zi Rong was very puzzled. In his last life, it was only after he had arrived at Xu family was he told that his own mother was in fact Xu Xiao's lover, and that Xu Zi Yan's mother had died because she had found out.

In the beginning, he did not know where he had went wrong for Xu Zi Yan to bully him like that. It was after he had grown up a bit did he finally understand: his very existence was the biggest reason for Xu Zi Yan to hate him.

Recalling the dislike the previous Xu Zi Yan had for him, Xu Zi Rong couldn't help but sneer in his heart: all the thousands of mistakes were Xu Xiao's mistakes. For it to anger his mother to death, it was only because the two lovers still longed for each other even after they had parted. In the end, if Xu Zi Yan truly wanted to help his mother get revenge, his biggest enemy should have been his father, Xu Xiao. But Xu Zi Yan was nothing but a weak bug and knew that it was impossible for him to fight his father, and that his own future also depended on his father's future. Thus, he vented out all of his resentment onto the Xu Zi Rong who was incapable of fighting back.

To sum it all up, only the weak wanted to take advantage of the weaker and cowered from the strong. If back then he also had Xu Zi Yan's talent and thus won Xu Xiao's protection, perhaps Xu Zi Yan would have not dared to retaliate against him.

But that was just a guess at the previous Xu Zi Yan's thoughts. The more Xu Zi Rong thought, the more he began to believe that there was something wrong with the Xu Zi Yan in front of him.

Even if all of his habits were the same as the previous Xu Zi Yan's, just the fact that there wasn't any hate in the other's gaze whenever Xu Zi Yan saw him was completely abnormal!

"Hm? Is there anything Zi Rong wants to say?" Becoming aware of how focused Xu Zi Rong's gaze was on his figure, Xu Zi Yan lowered his head and asked.

Slowly lowering his eyelids, Xu Zi Rong softly said: "It's nothing much, it's just that……big brother is too good to me."

"Haha, a big brother being good to his little brother, isn't that normal?" Xu Zi Yan replied with a smile.

Xu Zi Rong smiled but did not speak, and instead quietly whispered in his heart: Perhaps a good relationship between other brothers was normal, but between you and me, there can never be a day where our relationship is good.

The distance between Liu Shang Court and the main house was very far. Xu Zi Yan deliberately did not increase his speed, and thus the two brothers practically had a leisurely att.i.tude as they slowly walked towards the dining room.

Xu Zi Rong was led by Xu Zi Yan as they held hands so there was no need for him to look at the roads. But in actuality, even without Xu Zi Yan there was no way he could ever get lost.

After all, he had lived in this Xu family for so many years. Unfortunately, this ice-cold family had never let him experience the warmth of a real one.

The author has something to say: ╮(╯▽╰)╭~ Zi Rong has a narrow mind, in his heart all of his diaries has already been prepared for his big brother……

PS: Perhaps what I wrote before was unclear, but Xu Zi Yan's mother's death is a secret in the Xu family. Other than a few elders, n.o.body else is in the know. After all, what had happened was not something glorious, so obviously n.o.body wanted it to spread around. So right now Xu Zi Yan is using his t.i.tle of young master to establish some power for Xu Zi Rong, in order to prevent anyone else to bully him like how the others did in his previous life.
