How To Survive as a Villain-Chapter 140: Inevitably, There Will Always Be Some Things You Need To Overcome.
Chen Ge was confused: “Why is Physician Xiao so sure that the female Physician, Bai Zhi, will not come?” Xiao YuAn smiled at him, but didn’t answer. Chen Ge, on the other hand, saw that he seemed to know something and asked: “Does Physician Xiao know how to get her to accept the invitation to come help?”
“I know, yes I do know. In the past, not only would I’ve told you how to invite her over, but I would also have helped her by persuading your Emperor to invite her personally. But now…” Xiao YuAn only smiled without saying anything else.
“His Majesty? Do you want His Majesty to invite her over? Why not then?” Chen Ge was confused once again.
“In the past, I was blinded by the original book and couldn’t see clearly what was in front of me. But now, if I still refuse to see things as the way they are, then I’m really just a piece of garbage.” Xiao YuAn laid on his back to rest for a bit.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ge finally replied: “Physician Xiao’s speech is quite profound.”
“Ah, right, what brought you here? You couldn’t have possibly come to help me on purpose, right?” Xiao YuAn turned his head to him and asked all of a sudden.
“Oh yes, right!” Chen Ge patted his head and said: “Look at my silly memory, I even forgot the important matter that brought me here. His Majesty asked me to take you to him, but after seeing you working so hard all day, why don’t I go talk to His Majesty instead? If it’s important, you two can still talk about it tomorrow.”
Xiao YuAn smiled again and asked him: “Will it be okay for you to talk about it with him? Is His Majesty really that talkative?”
Chen Ge waved his hand in an exaggerated way, not mincing his words in praise: “Although our Emperor is never soft on his enemies, and he looks merciless, cruel and cold, he’s actually a wise ruler! He listens to his subordinates’ advice seriously!”
“I’ve known these things already in my past life.” Xiao YuAn braced himself to stand up.
“Past life, what past life? Wait! Physician Xiao, where are you going?” Chen Ge saw him get up and walk away, so he hurriedly followed after him.
“Didn’t His Majesty wish to see me?” Xiao YuAn lifted the curtain and walked outside.
Chen Ge froze in place and touched his head in a daze, then he quickly followed Xiao YuAn.
Chen Ge dutifully took Xiao YuAn towards a military tent. Once they arrived, Chen Ge saluted him and then left. After a guard outside the tent reported to Xiao YuAn that he could enter, he lifted the curtain and walked in.
Inside the tent, Yan HeQing was sitting on a couch reading a military book. In front of him, there was a low table filled with topographical maps and advice folds. It seemed that he had been busy the entire day.
Xiao YuAn shakily walked over and then leaned back, throwing himself at Yan HeQing’s side, flopping down with his back against the mattress. Then he started to wave his hands helplessly as he vaguely said: “I’m so tired that I can’t even lift my arms.”
Yan HeQing looked at him, reached out and picked up Xiao YuAn, pulling him into his arms and wrapping his hands around him. Then he rubbed Xiao YuAn’s arms with one hand and continued reading the military book with the other. Xiao YuAn dazedly lifted his eyelids and said: “Yan-ge, you’re so attentive. Sooner or later, I will fall in love with you.”
Yan HeQing hooked the corners of his mouth shallowly.
“All right, all right.” Xiao YuAn didn’t have the heart to let Yan HeQing keep rubbing his sore arms, so he broke out of his embrace and forced himself to ask: “Why did you want to see me tonight?”
Yan HeQing looked at him, and instead of replying to his question, he asked: “Are you tired?”
“Yes, I’m quite sleepy.”
“Then there’s no need to hurry. You can sleep for now.”
Xiao YuAn expressed an almost silent ‘oh’, as he stood up and started to walk towards the exit of the tent.
Meanwhile, Yan HeQing, whose eyes were still on the military book, reached out for Xiao YuAn’s wrist, and without raising his head, he asked: “Where are you going?”
“I’m going back to sleep!”
Yan HeQing pointed back at himself, towards the warm mattress with a quilt made out of animal fur on top of it, placed at the inner part of the tent, and said: “Sleep here.”
Xiao YuAn blinked and blinked again, then he said: “Yan-ge, it’s not that I don’t want to sleep here. After all, this place is more comfortable than my military tent full of dried blood but… If I sleep here, where will you sleep then?”
Yaan HeQing replied: “….. We’ll divide the bed into two.”
Xiao YuAn: “Yan-ge, no matter what I say, you’ll convince me to sleep here tonight anyways, am I right?”
Yan HeQing hmmed in response.
Xiao YuAn wasn’t in the mood to make a fuss about it, so he took off the mask, then went into the inner part of the tent. He pulled the quilt to make two separate beds, took the inner bed for himself, and lied down on his side to sleep.
YHQ is so smooth!!! Like… XYA you’re already in love, it’s just that you don’t know it yet hahahaha 😂
