All the Protagonists I’ve Scummed Came To Me For Revenge Chapter 5: Senior Sister White Lotus (5)

Xia Yu didn’t sleep well all night.

She was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and would be awakened whenever Ye Yueru made the slightest movement. Fortunately, after discovering this, Ye Yueru never moved again. Only her chest rose and fell, and there was a faint sound of breathing beside her.

Because she didn’t sleep well, Xia Yu felt particularly weak the next day. Although she took medicine, she was still sick and looked like she might faint at any time.

Seeing how sick she looked, Ye Yueru called Li Qingcao over again. Although Ye Yueru was making a fuss out of nothing, Li Qingcao did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

Drinking the medicine that Ye Yueru fed her mouthful by hand, Xia Yu looked at her timidly with her pair of black and white eyes. There was no domineering, no tenderness, not even madness. She was completely different from the past.

Xia Yu was pretending that she was not ‘Xia Yu’, but Ye Yueru was determined that she was Xia Yu, not someone else. Xia Yu had been pretending from the beginning, and now she didn’t dare to take off her disguise suddenly, so she could only bite the bullet and keep acting. Ye Yueru no longer mentioned that she was her junior sister, but just treated her as she should.

Whether you admit it or not, I have confirmed it.

“Have a good rest. Li Qingcao said that you need to take good care of yourself, otherwise you will easily develop a chronic illness.” Ye Yueru spoke softly. Her eyes and eyebrows were gentle and she was indescribably gentle. She was exactly the same Ye Yueru that Xia Yu knew.

Xia Yu was not deceived by her. It was definitely not that easy to lower Ye Yueru’s blackening value. It was just that the system ran away and no matter how she called out, it couldn’t come out. She also didn’t know how much Ye Yueru’s blackening value was now.

“I have planted a lot of plum trees that you like outside. When the flowers bloom, you can enjoy the black plums with me.”

“I remember that you like Jiangnan food, so I specially asked someone to bring back a few chefs from Jiangnan. The food they make will definitely suit your taste.”

Xia Yu didn’t say a word, but Ye Yueru didn’t mind at all. She fed Xia Yu medicine while talking to herself.

After feeding her a bowl of medicine, she raised her hand and gently wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth. Her movements were indescribably ambiguous, but Xia Yu seemed to be used to it.

Ye Yueru left with the bowl of medicine.

Seeing her go away, Xia Yu frowned as she looked at the empty house. She looked outside, but the windows were closed. She couldn’t see what was going on outside, but she thought there must be someone guarding outside.

Ye Yueru had just gone out for less than two minutes and came back. Xia Yu was not surprised, but just looked at her.

“I asked someone to prepare some candied fruits. I remember you like them.”

Xia Yu pursed her lower lip, looked at her, and said cautiously again: “Thank you.”

Ye Yueru’s smile froze, and the corners of her mouth turned down and became a little cold, “Don’t say thank you to me.”

Xia Yu looked at her in shock.

Ye Yueru’s reaction was really unexpected. Xia Yu didn’t think she had done anything wrong. After all, she just said thank you, that’s all.

She kept staring at her.

Under the pressure, Xia Yu lowered her head: “I, I understand.”

After hearing her assurance, the coldness between Ye Yueru’s eyebrows melted away. She raised her hand and rubbed her head, saying, “Be good.”

Like a tiger playing with a rabbit.

Xia Yu suddenly thought of this adjective.

It wasn’t quite accurate, but she was now not much different from a non-threatening rabbit.

Xia Yu played the role of herself obediently.

Wherever Xia Yu was, Ye Yueru would be there, following closely. After recuperating for less than two days, someone from Tianyue Palace sent news.

Looking at the person kneeling in front of Ye Yueru, wrapped so tightly that her face could not be seen, and forced to sit on Ye Yueru’s lap and be fed by her, Xia Yu’s eyes could not help but drift over there.

It was not because of anything else, she was just curious about this person’s identity and was bored, wondering if it was a familiar face.

This man was a spy from Tianyue Palace. He didn’t know what was happening to Ye Yueru and Xia Yu, and he didn’t dare to look up. He just bowed his hands and lowered his head as he narrated the movements of Qingcheng Sword Sect and various martial arts forces.

Hearing the name Qingcheng Sword Sect, Xia Yu was slightly stunned and remembered that silly yet adorable woman.

A person of the right path.

Xia Yu mourned for them in her heart. After all, Ye Yueru was no longer a saint.

No, perhaps there is no need for a moment of silence.

Xia Yu suddenly thought of lowering her dark value. Saving people and acting like a saint might be something she had to do.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu felt a lump in her throat.

Just as she was thinking that she might have to replace Ye Yueru as the Virgin Mary, the spy kneeling below retreated at some point, and they were the only two left in the room. Ye Yueru pinched her jaw with a gloomy face and asked her to turn her head to look at her.

Xia Yu, whose chin was suddenly pinched, looked up and saw Ye Yueru with a gloomy face. She was shocked and thought she was misunderstood. Before she could explain, Ye Yueru could no longer bear it and kissed her lips.

“Yueru…”

Xia Yu pushed her and was suddenly kissed on the mouth. She felt very uncomfortable, even though she had been mentally prepared for this.

“Thinking about those people”

Xia Yu didn’t know how to answer her. After all, Ye Yueru was not a fool. If she denied lying to Ye Yueru, God knew whether Ye Yueru would go crazy. If she nodded, Ye Yueru would definitely be angry. No matter how she answered this question, it would be a dead end.

Ye Yueru’s thumb rubbed her lips gently. Xia Yu lowered her eyes, not daring to look into her eyes, and gently pulled her clothes with her hand.

“Is it possible not to kill people?” Taking this opportunity, Xia Yu tentatively threw out the question that was giving her a headache.

Is it possible not to kill people?

Ye Yueru was stunned.

Her eyes were gloomy, her lips were tightly pursed and her face was cold, as if she remembered something.

Xia Yu doesn’t have as good a memory as Ye Yueru, but Ye Yueru’s appearance is really abnormal. She began to recall whether Ye Yueru had said something like this to her before, so she remembered it now.

It’s very possible indeed.

After all, Ye Yueru used to be a saint.

After a long time, the gloom on Ye Yueru’s face disappeared and she laughed: “Why, do you want to be a good person?”

“Although in today’s world only bad people can live as they please, I prefer good people.”

“Do you prefer nice people?”

There was a complex look in Ye Yueru’s eyes.

Xia Yu mustered up his courage and whispered in front of her: “I heard that you used to be a very good person.”

“Who said it?”

“It’s the girl who was with me when you took me away, her and her senior brother.” Xia Yu whispered, “He said that you used to be a very good and chivalrous person.”

Ye Yueru laughed when she heard what she said, turned her head to look at her, and asked with gloomy eyes: “Then do you know why I became like this?”

Xia Yu looked at her blankly.

Ye Yueru stared at her. Only ignorance can lead to kindness. The more you know, the deeper your understanding of darkness will be. She hated Xia Yu for pulling her into the darkness and making her see such an unbearable side of the world, but she also lamented that at least now she is no longer living like a fool to please others.

In the end, she didn’t say what was in her heart, nor did she make any sarcastic remarks. She just said, “Let’s not talk about the past.”

“That person… can you not kill him?”

Ye Yueru looked at her with a half-smile and said, “What if they insist on killing me? Are you asking me to surrender and wait for death?”

“No, that’s not the case.” Xia Yu was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she said anxiously: “If they want to kill you, you can of course kill them! But, but…if you don’t want them to, they won’t be able to come up, right?”

Xia Yu spoke in a saintly manner that made even herself feel sick, recalling Ye Yueru’s past personality, pondering her words, and hiding her thoughts completely in her heart without revealing a single bit.

A dark light flashed in Ye Yueru’s eyes, but she just smiled and said nothing.

“Why do you like good people?” After smiling, Ye Yueru didn’t want to discuss the people from Qingcheng Sword Sect with her anymore, so she asked about something she was somewhat interested in.

“Everyone, I think everyone likes good people, right?”

“What about you?”

Xia Yu was silent for a while, and then said, “I don’t deny that there are many annoying people in this world, and this world is not very beautiful, but good people symbolize justice. Although I know that there may be many unfriendly things hidden under other people’s justice, at least on the surface they give people hope, make people yearn for it, and have the desire to continue moving forward.”

“I’ve heard a saying before.” Xia Yu said with a smile, “When you are in darkness, your heart should be towards light. The deeper you are in darkness, the more you long for the light of salvation. I have encountered many dangers in the world along the way, and I am not a good person, but it is because of this that I am more inclined to it.”

The more we are trapped in darkness, the more we long to be saved by the light?

Ye Yueru remembered the past.

She had always wondered why Xia Yu gradually became like that. Even until she died, she still didn’t understand why she could not stop thinking about her and became crazy.

Now she understands.

To Xia Yu, her former self was like a ray of light. She tried hard to hold on to herself, so she did so many crazy things.

And her obsession and madness are not a reflection of her current situation after she has experienced many great changes and killed the person she loves with her own hands and completely fell into darkness.

After she merged into the darkness, Xia Yu, who loved her deeply, became the light in her heart. The more she understood about this world, the more she missed Xia Yu.

Only then did she vaguely feel that everything Xia Yu did back then seemed to have a hidden story, and everything she did was for the purpose of dying in her hands in the end.

She pursed her lips, looked at Xia Yu vigilantly, and held Xia Yu’s hand tightly.

No, she will never let go this time!

“That makes sense.”

Ye Yueru, who killed Xia Yu with her own hands, longed to be redeemed by her. Was she happy all these years? No, she lived in pain, guilt, and self-blame every day.

“So you can stop killing people?”

A hint of darkness flashed across Ye Yueru’s eyes, and she chuckled and said, “It depends on your performance.”

“Ah” Xia Yu pretended to be stupid and showed a confused expression.

“…Want to go out for a walk?”

Xia Yu’s eyes lit up, but then she hesitated and said carefully: “I think this is also good, no more trouble.”

“But I want to go out for a walk.” Ye Yueru patted her on the shoulder, asked her to stand up, and said, “Shall I take you for a walk in the back hills? Maybe you’ll remember something.” The last sentence was meaningful, and Xia Yu’s heart tightened.
