After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 142 The Yin-Yang Rope

After a sudden feeling of falling, Baili Ce woke up with a start.

Before the dizziness in my head had even subsided, I saw the maid beside me move her lips, then she took off running out...

She looked around in a daze... It took her a long time to catch the chirping of birds from outside.

This was accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.

Wang Qingyan walked straight to her bedside and sat down, his brows furrowed with concern. "Is anything bothering you?"

"..." But as soon as he saw his face, those extremely tragic scenes flashed before Baili Ce's eyes.

"Is it a fever again?" Wang Qingyan subconsciously reached out his hand.

Bai Li Ce instinctively flinched... but as his gaze shifted, he immediately frowned, lowered his eyes, and placed his hand on his heart.

"It's a bit stuffy here, and my throat hurts a little."

Her voice sounded a little hoarse, but Wang Qingyan poured her a glass of water as if nothing had happened.

He then took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket, took out a pill, and added it to the cup.

"Yes, drink it."

He picked up the water and drank it all in one gulp... Baili Ce felt a chill creeping up his spine.

I watched him add the medicine, but I couldn't feel any difference after drinking it.

"You drank it without even asking?"

She handed the cup back to him, saying, "You won't hurt me."

Given his personality, it's far more interesting for him to let her live and suffer than to let her die.

Wang Qingyan visibly pleased. "That's not necessarily true~"

Although he knew he was joking, Baili Ce's heart still skipped a beat. "There's nothing we can do about it."

"Who told me I can't beat you in a fight, and I can't out-argue you in a fight either?"

He shook his head and smiled, "I wouldn't dare hit you or scold you!"

There was no longer a trace of sinister or obsessive behavior in his eyes, which were once filled with radiance.

It's as if he wasn't the one who casually dismembered people in that story.

"Are you hungry?" Reaching out to tidy up her hair that was pressed into her clothes, Wang Qingyan clearly saw the aloofness in her eyes.

Bai Li Ce nodded, letting him play with his hair. "I want to eat in the yard."

Wang Qingyan looked slightly taken aback, but did not refuse. "Alright, after lying in bed for so many days, it's time to go out for a walk."

"Have I been lying here for a long time?"

"Not much, only four days."

No wonder he looked much more normal.

"But it's windy in the yard, so I'll have to change my clothes first," he said, and went to the cabinet next to him to find some clothes.

While searching, they chatted with Baili Ce with their backs to him.

"I don't know if your tastes are the same as before, so I prepared some extra dresses for you. Try them on first, and if you don't like them, I'll make new ones."

They said they had prepared a lot, but in reality, all you could see at a glance were sky blue and jade white.

Moreover, she has always preferred red, dark, or flashy clothes.

But if the expert says so, then it is.

"The sky-blue one, please."

Wang Qingyan smiled and took the clothes he liked, saying, "But I think this jade-white one suits you better."

Then ask me a question!

Bai Lize immediately recalled that dream from a third-person perspective.

Sure enough, what comes true is usually just a nightmare.

She gently accepted the clothes, saying "Okay," without wanting to say anything more.

Wang Qingyan went to close the door.

But the person didn't leave.

Hmmmm??!

What does this mean?

Aren't you...going out?

Wang Qingyan blinked dismissively, his face genuinely warm and sincere. "Why would I want to go out?"

"..." After only a few breaths of shock, Baili Ce was relieved.

She started changing her clothes right in front of him.

During that time, he also helped apply some medicine and tie a belt for her.

The feeling of his fingers brushing against his skin was unpleasant, like ants crawling on him; Baili Ce was so stiff he felt like he was turning to death.

But the most explosive thing was yet to come.

After she changed her clothes, Wang Qingyan helped her sit down and tied a rope around her ankle.

"I made this especially for you on your second day back, so you won't treat a rag like a treasure."

I still remember that day he tore off the ordinary and cheap red cloth from her feet and threw it away.

but......

It's understandable that the rope needs to be sturdy.

It's understandable that I'm jealous of her.

It's understandable to suspect that the red ribbon was a gift from someone else.

After all, if you're with someone like that, he'll kill a dog if he even glances at it while it's passing by.

But could I tell her, "Whose marriage rope is black?!"

Are you really not afraid of getting into trouble?

Satisfied with the black rope, Wang Qingyan stood up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then extended it to her, saying, "Black has its own reasons."

"do you think so?"

Let's be honest, once you're on this pirate ship, don't expect to be clean.

Go straight over and grab his arm, interlocking your fingers tightly!

I'll give you both hands!

"Let's go eat," but deliberately avoids answering the question.

Wang Qingyan, however, wanted her to be more proactive and didn't like her being too submissive.

......

To be fair, when it comes to food, Wang Qingyan completely follows her preferences.

"You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you shouldn't eat anything too oily or spicy. Today's dishes will mainly consist of stir-fries."

"Authentic and original, that's good."

For her now, being able to eat such light and visually appealing food is simply the greatest happiness.

Seeing that she didn't seem to have any psychological burden, Wang Qingyan relaxed even more. "Try this."

Looking at the water spinach in the bowl, Baili Ce politely said, "Thank you..."

Wang Qingyan paused in his act of picking up food.

...and took Xie back.

After quietly finishing the meal, I praised it, "Crispy and refreshing, without the usual grassy taste from other chefs, a rare find!"

"As long as you like it."

"I like everything you do."

Wang Qingyan's smile widened... then a hint of suspicion flashed across his face, "How did you know it was me?"

The "guess" was actually that there was a little bit of minced garlic on his cuff, which she smelled when he was playing with her hair earlier.

"Guessing?" Wang Qingyan looked at her curiously, suddenly feeling that she was adapting to all of this too quickly.

Almost there—

It exudes a strong sense of indifference and perfunctory attitude.

"Then why don't you guess what I'm planning to do next?"

Bai Li Ce, who only wanted to do nothing but eat, was speechless.

But under his "gentle" gaze, she still put down her chopsticks and bowl.

"You wouldn't... be planning to attack Baili Ming and the others, would you?"

For my own sake, and to avoid causing trouble for others.

I definitely can't call her "sister" in front of him anymore.

The chill in Wang Qingyan's eyes deepened as he lowered his head and picked at the food in his bowl, displaying a kind of "impatient calm."

"They are still the ones you care about most."

This isn't acceptable?! She was clearly very careful with her word choice.

Ah, hiss...

Bai Li Ce really wanted to scratch his head until it was bald. Didn't you tell me to guess?

Saying it is wrong, not saying it is wrong either; they're just too difficult to please!

But she still put on a thoughtful, reflective, and slightly dejected look, saying, "It won't be like that anymore."

“…” Wang Qingyan stared at her silently for a long while.

Then, in a flat tone and with a forced smile, he said, "Yes, it won't be like that anymore."

"..." Bai Li Ce continued eating.

Wang Qingyan habitually served her food... He glanced at his right sleeve and noticed some dried garlic paste, but left it at that.

"I'm going out for a bit. The embroiderer will bring some patterns over. You can choose one, or if you have a pattern you like, you can tell them."
