Villainous Stand-in (7)

Due to the dream she had, Song Xu Yi couldn’t refuse when Li Yuqing asked her to go for an early morning run the next day.

This time, Li Yuqing ran a bit slower. At first, Song Xu Yi was relieved, but soon she found herself preferring Li Yuqing to run ahead of her like the day before. As Li Yuqing ran beside her, she occasionally turned her head to look at Song Xu Yi, and her eyes were filled with laughter.

“I bought ingredients for two people. Do you want to have spaghetti or wonton in the morning?” Li Yuqing asked, noticing that Song Xu Yi was panting and appeared to have reached her limit.

Initially, Song Xu Yi hadn’t planned on eating at Li Yuqing’s house, but in that moment, seeing Li Yuqing out of breath, she found herself subconsciously replying, “Wonton.”

“Then let’s have wonton!” Li Yuqing said, her lips pursed and her eyes crinkled with a smile.

It wasn’t until Song Xu Yi sat in Li Yuqing’s living room that she realized the intention behind Li Yuqing’s words. However, since she had already agreed to stay, she enjoyed another delicious meal of wonton at Li Yuqing’s home and played with the little cat named “Xiao Xing”.

But according to Li Yuqing’s plan for revenge, Song Xu Yi would need to stay at the Song residence to learn more about the family’s business secrets…

After spending two days together, the two had grown closer. After some hesitation, Song Xu Yi asked Li Yuqing, “Are you planning to stay here permanently and not return to the Song family?”

“Why would I want to go back to the Song family?” Li Yuqing sat on the sofa, looking sideways at Song Xu Yi with a focused gaze, seemingly puzzled by the question. “I really enjoy living with you, Xu Yi. It feels like a dream, I’m happy every day, and if I could choose, I would want to stay like this for the rest of my life.”

Li Yuqing’s gaze was so intense that Song Xu Yi momentarily thought that Li Yuqing was implicitly revealing her feelings.

But Song Xu Yi quickly snapped out of it. Li Yuqing had already made it clear that she was being friendly with her simply because she looked like a friend of hers.

Since Li Yuqing had expressed her desire to be friends, Song Xu Yi didn’t see the need to be coy anymore. She half-heartedly covered her face and laughed, saying, “Can you stop looking at me like that? It’s not appropriate to seduce a friend…”

Song Xu Yi said this teasingly, thinking that Li Yuqing would stop at the right time, but to her surprise, Li Yuqing moved closer.

“So did I seduce you, Xu Yi?” Li Yuqing asked, her breath almost intertwined with Song Xu Yi’s.

With Li Yuqing’s beautiful face so close, Song Xu Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t resist and averted her eyes.

“I won’t be easily seduced by you!” Song Xu Yi tried to contain the warmth in her cheeks and bravely looked back at Li Yuqing, as if to tell Li Yuqing or herself, “Only 2D waifus are the best.”

“Oh!” Li Yuqing didn’t get angry at all. She laughed softly and leaned back on the sofa with her kitten in her arms, her beautiful eyes shining. “Then I’ll have to work harder. After all, there are always things in this world that anime and manga wives can’t do…”

Song Xu Yi didn’t know if it was her own fault, but she felt that Li Yuqing’s words sounded strange. However, as soon as she looked at Li Yuqing’s beautiful face, she realized she was overthinking things. She had ghosts in her mind, always feeling that Li Yuqing was seducing and hinting at her…

The fact was that she already knew that Li Yuqing was only good to her because she looked like a friend of hers. However, she didn’t know what kind of person Li Yuqing’s friend was that she could treat her with such love and affection…

For a while, Song Xu Yi was curious about Li Yuqing’s friend, but after spending two days with her, Li Yuqing never mentioned her again. Song Xu Yi worried that something bad might have happened to her friend and decided not to bring it up.

Despite her desire to return to her dream world to be with Little Li Yuqing, Song Xu Yi didn’t dream of her again in the following days.

During the day, she and Li Yuqing grew closer: they went to school, ate together, exercised together, and went home together. With Li Yuqing by her side, Song Xu Yi’s popularity at school significantly increased, and many students approached her, asking for Li Yuqing’s contact details.

Even though Li Yuqing had rejected advances from people in the past, some thought they were an exception and tried to pursue her relentlessly.

Zhang Cai, the most audacious among them, is a second-generation rich man.

His father had secretly partnered with some mysterious businessmen and became a famous local entrepreneur, enabling him to get into a vocational college under the University of Song Xu Yi.

Upon seeing Li Yuqing on one occasion, Zhang Cai started pursuing her with great fervor. At first, Li Yuqing could barely keep her politeness, but later she turned cold. Despite Li Yuqing’s rejection, Zhang Cai seemed to be oblivious and continued to pursue her with more intensity. He claimed that she was his girlfriend, sent her flowers on her way to school, and even obtained her mobile phone number through illegal channels and sent her nasty text messages throughout the day.

The most outrageous thing happened when Zhang Cai went to Li Yuqing’s neighborhood, holding a bouquet of roses downstairs. He declared to Li Yuqing with deep feelings, “Yuqing, I really like you! I have enough money to play this game with you…”

Li Yuqing remained unresponsive, though her eyes seemed to have turned icy upon seeing Zhang Cai. Meanwhile, Song Xu Yi was infuriated and immediately called the security guards to drive Zhang Cai away.

“This guy is a real menace,” Song Xu Yi fumed, watching as Zhang Cai, escorted by the security guards, made obscene gestures in their direction. “Does he think he’s the center of the universe? What a jerk.”

Song Xu Yi turned to Li Yuqing with concern, realizing that she might be in danger if she continued to attract such unwanted attention.

Despite not having a physically strong build, Song Xu Yi had acquired formidable fighting skills during her time in another world. She was confident that she could easily take down someone like Zhang Cai, who lacked physical strength and proper nutrition.

Li Yuqing was holding her mobile phone when she heard Song Xu Yi’s words. She glanced up at her and then put away her phone, walking over to hug Song Xu Yi’s arm with a soft smile. “It’s good to have you!” she said.

“Of course, I’ll listen to you, Xu Yi.”

Song Xu Yi sensed that something was off about Li Yuqing’s behavior, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She did notice that her heart raced a bit faster when Li Yuqing leaned on her.

To protect Li Yuqing, Song Xu Yi purchased mace and pepper spray online that night. When she arrived the next day, she saw Zhang Cai smirking downstairs. He didn’t show his usual infatuation, and instead appeared impatient. “I also bought a house in this area and moved in today. If she misses me, she won’t be able to find such a rich and devoted man in the future,” he said.

His words were met with a blast of pepper spray from Song Xu Yi.

After the previous incident, Song Xu Yi had hoped that Zhang Cai would learn to control himself, but it became clear that she had underestimated his arrogance and cruelty.

One evening, Song Xu Yi was walking with Li Yuqing when they passed through a remote area. Suddenly, a few large men emerged from the shadows, surrounding Zhang Cai who appeared to be drunk. Song Xu Yi was taken aback and instinctively pulled Li Yuqing behind her.

Zhang Cai sneered at them and slurred, “You two aren’t getting away tonight!”

At that moment, Song Xu Yi seized the opportunity and sprayed her mace in front of her before quickly pulling Li Yuqing away to safety.

They ran swiftly and were familiar with the area, and were almost reaching a crowded place when the sound of an engine started behind them. A heavy motorbike was tailing them, swerving and turning dangerously!

Zhang Cai, who was drunk, couldn’t control the vehicle and crashed into them head-on!

Song Xu Yi instinctively pushed Li Yuqing away as Zhang Cai looked at them with fear and red eyes.

Then came a sharp pain…

Li Yuqing’s pained eyes were right in front of her, and as darkness descended, Song Xu Yi saw the young Li Yuqing again.
