My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Tang Ming, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, walked alone on the street, carrying nothing but his phone and keys.

Tang Ming thought that Lin Ruoyu was probably sleeping outside tonight. He looked back at the apartment building and saw that only a few lights were still on. Occasionally, a few heated arguments could be heard in the air. His own apartment was completely dark, and Lin Ruoyu had not come out.

"Damn it! They got me all worked up and then yelled at me, and the worst part is I don't even have a reason to talk back..."

Tang Ming leaned against the wall and casually swung his hand around a few times at the innocent street lamp next to him.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..." The steel plate coil of the lamp post was struck with a series of dull echoes, and the hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated surface showed some wear.

"This... what a shoddy construction project!" Tang Ming was startled by the voice and quickly checked his hand, finding only a small cut. Fortunately, no one else was passing by in the middle of the night, except for a streetlamp that flickered briefly in protest.

The evening breeze was no longer cool, but rather a bit hot. He wandered around aimlessly for a few minutes before finally going back to the basement to drive out and go for a spin on the street.

The most relaxing moment of a man's day is sitting alone in his car, with pleasant music playing on the stereo and the window open, letting the whistling wind rush into his mouth.

However, the air quality in cities has deteriorated over the years, and opening windows will fill the car with dust. People rarely open all the windows for a "drive" anymore, let alone cover up the sunroof which is covered in dust.

Both he and Lin Ruoyu need to calm down, especially him.

Lin Ruoyu's questions kept pounding in his mind, but he was completely blank and clueless about every scene and every little detail between them. There might be a slight sense of familiarity, but he couldn't grasp the underlying connections at all.

He didn't know what emotions he should use to face Lin Ruoyu. Tang Ming was at a loss. The city was much darker and quieter after midnight. As Tang Ming was thinking, the car had already arrived at the university town.

He didn't know why he had ended up here. He wanted to ask Ye Jingjing for a room to stay in for the night, but realized that it was already late and it was inconvenient to bother her.

Tang Ming drove aimlessly, shuttling between several schools. The roads in the university town were wide at night, and the students were all obediently locked in their dormitories; the naughty ones had long since run out to play.

There were no cars on the street, so he moved slowly, crawling past the dense greenery along the curb, until the grand gate of Fangzhou University came into view.

Tang Ming had passed by this area many times after graduation, but he had never gone in again. The last few times, he would get off at the subway station next door and go to the Fangzhou University Affiliated High School area to find Ye Jingjing. Now that Ye Jingjing neither attends school nor sets up a stall outside the school, he no longer comes to the vicinity.

Tang Ming drove around the school for a while, found a roadside to park, glanced at the suitcase in the back seat, felt it was troublesome and unnecessary to carry, and simply locked the car door and left.

After a while, Tang Ming was still carrying his suitcase, awkwardly bending over and groping for a path in the secluded bushes. There were no lights here, and he could not see the ground clearly. He finally found a bush that had been trampled into a "path".

He crawled along the path to the wall, where a calf-high stepping stone was conveniently placed. He threw the box behind the wall, stepped on the stone, and grabbed the wall with both hands. Fortunately, he was wearing light clothing and didn't get his clothes caught. He then climbed over the wall, which was taller than a person.

On the other side of the wall, there was no bare wall, but a spacious platform for him to stand on. That's how he entered Fangzhou University, his former alma mater.

"This road hasn't been blocked yet. It's definitely a good thing that the requirements are high; otherwise, if everyone came in droves, the school would have closed it off the next day..."

Tang Ming looked back, brushed the dust off his hands, and forced a smile as he joked.

If it were daytime, he wouldn't have had to climb in so awkwardly; if he walked in openly, the security guards would probably have mistaken him for a student.

But that won't work at night, unless he's willing to be dragged by security guards and arrested by the dorm manager...

"Excuse me... could you lend me a hand?"

Tang Ming picked up the suitcase from the ground, preparing to turn and leave, when a woman's voice, low and somewhat urgent, rang out.

"I just saw you climb over here so quickly, can you help me?" Even in the dim light of the night, you could see a young girl with a shy face peeking out from the top of the wall.

If Tang Ming hadn't called out to her first, he would have found it somewhat creepy.

Since the other party made a request, and unlike Ye Jingjing who always called him "uncle," he was quite willing to lend a hand.

Standing back on the platform, looking down over the high wall, wow! There was another boy supporting her below, but the girl's arms were too weak, and even if the boy picked her up, he couldn't get her over the wall.

If someone were to fall over, they'd be in the newspapers the next day.

The girl looked at Tang Ming shyly: "My boyfriend... I didn't expect the wall to be so high. The alley over the main building was blocked, so we had to come this way."

"Can you help me?"

She asked cautiously, having heard that boys who would normally help would turn around and leave after finding out Tang Ming had a boyfriend. If Tang Ming turned around and left, they would have no choice but to stay out overnight.

Tang Ming immediately understood the girl's worries, smiled knowingly and silently, and reached out with both hands to pull the girl up from the wall.

"Thank you, classmate!"

Tang Ming let go of his hand, stepped onto the top of the wall, and looked down at the boy below through his head: "Come on, hold my hand."

"It's okay... I can manage on my own."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you fall and get injured and the school finds out, the punishment is a small matter. If this path is blocked, you will be a sinner to the whole school."

Tang Ming, as the senior student, earnestly advised him.

The boy thought about it and realized that this little bit of face wasn't worth much. He grabbed Tang Ming's hand and kicked himself up the wall in a few steps.

"Thanks, bro!"

The boy clapped his hands, looked back at the high wall, and said, "This road is difficult to walk on. Next time, let's see if there's another one."

"It's past midnight and you're still going back to school? The dorms must be locked. You might as well stay out overnight," Tang Ming said with amusement.

"It's safer for your girlfriend to go back to school... Bro, you're so skilled, you should know what I mean."

The boy, noticing Tang Ming's fit physique and how he looked like a senior, gave him a knowing look and a knowing smile. The girl next to him glared at him, a little embarrassed and annoyed, then urged him to hurry back; they still needed to figure out how to get around the dorm supervisor.

Tang Ming was still pondering the boy's words. He truly understood what the other man meant, not in a way that was typical between men, but rather a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had done this many times before...

They run away during the day, climb back at night, and use another person's waist to scale the high wall...

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anything. He even remembered his few experiences of climbing over walls... (he was a good student and rarely did such things), which were all with his roommates.

He looked at his hands and gave them a loose clench. This feeling of familiarity couldn't possibly be from his buddies, could it...?

A familiar ringtone sounded, and Tang Ming took out his phone; it was Lin Ruoyu calling.

"...What's wrong?"

"Aren't you coming back yet? Aren't you coming home to sleep tonight?" Hearing Tang Ming's voice, Lin Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing was wrong, but she immediately questioned him in an unfriendly tone.

Lin Ruoyu is no longer as gentle and considerate as before, and Tang Ming is starting to miss "the old days"...

"I'm not going back. Won't it bother you if I sleep in your bed?"

"You can sleep on the sofa."

"No, it's bad for my sleep quality. I have work tomorrow, and having enough energy is crucial for my brain..." Tang Ming shook his head. The campus was eerily quiet at night, and he couldn't help but lower his voice.

"I'll go get a room outside."

"You're always focused on making money or working... Is work all you do in your life? You're so honest about how much you care about your job... Can't you care about me a little more?"

Lin Ruoyu was speechless. She had found out about Tang Ming's job. It was nothing more than assessing the value of insured assets and contacting clients with his superiors. Even if he frequently came into contact with wizards and some important figures, he didn't need to be so concerned.

Tang Ming actually had the nerve to talk about his daily work of socializing and dining out as if he were going to war. He really didn't take her seriously... Lin Ruoyu hadn't even said anything yet.

She waited so long without sleeping, and when Tang Ming didn't come home, she couldn't help but call him. Tch!

Lin Ruoyu hung up the phone and decided to let him fend for himself.
