Why are all the heroines falling for me, the villain?

Aside from getting beaten up, nobody cared about her, and she didn't have to go through anything; she could just sleep soundly.

"She's just lying on the sofa, don't worry, she's fine."

As the two walked through the living room, Li Zhu noticed that the French windows were already closed.

"Huh? The window is closed?" Li Zhu exclaimed in surprise. "When I came in, the French windows should have been open..."

"Could someone be hiding in some corner of the room watching us?" Qin Yin was a little scared.

Li Zhu hurriedly carried the dazed Qian Hua on her back and called out, "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. It's over now, let's go quickly."

Just like in those clichéd movies and novels, there always has to be some twists and turns and surprises at the end of the story. Li Zhu didn't want to create any extra complications or explore anything further.

After all, one's life is more important.

As soon as the door opened, a figure stood unsteadily at the entrance.

"Watch out!" Li Zhu instinctively pushed away the zither music in front of her. A flash of cold light, and a dagger was precisely plunged into Li Zhu's abdomen.

"?!" came the sound of a zither.

No one expected that Fujiwara Miki would be waiting at the door.

"Yes, it's time to end this."

Enjoying the horrified expressions on Rin's and the others' faces, Miki chuckled to herself, like a doctor knocking on the door with a death notice.

Chapter 161 How to Drink Porridge

The snow stopped in the early morning.

From the third-floor window, you can see ice crystals and snow on the trees. Sunlight shines on the blankets on the hospital bed, turning the man's cheeks a pale gold, as if he were a newborn.

"It's been almost two weeks since I was admitted to the hospital, I should be able to be discharged soon..." Riki thought to himself, feeling a little bored. Hina-sensei had allowed him to postpone his final exams until the start of the next semester.

"Think about it, a week of winter vacation has already passed, and the doctor insists on observing the patient for a while longer before discharge. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to my hometown."

In addition, Dr. Kato told him that the dagger stuck in his abdomen looked dangerous, but it had actually cut off his appendix with great precision.

"???" Li Zhu's expression at that moment was extremely complicated.

Dr. Kato exclaimed that even the most skilled surgeons might not be able to achieve such precision, and that such a miraculous coincidence could happen in the world; he was incredibly lucky.

Pear Blossom: Oh, what a wonderful coincidence.

Praise be to Lady Luck!

Fujiwara Miki, the surgeon who performed the appendectomy, seems to have fallen into a coma after that day and is now lying in the intensive care unit on the fourth floor. The doctor said that everyone should be prepared for her to become a vegetable.

Therefore, even now, Riki and the others still don't know exactly what happened between Fujiwara Miki and Hoshino Teru. It is said that this matter also involves the Sakurai family, one of the biotechnology giants.

After all, the presence of prohibited drugs at the scene and the drug components detected in Miki's body all point to the Sakurai family, which makes one suspicious.

Li Zhu thought those important figures were probably overthinking things.

However, during this period, the Hyuga family has contacted and talked with the Sakurai family many times, and the results should be available in the next few days. But everything still depends on Miki waking up before a final decision can be made, as she is now the only witness to prove the Sakurai family's innocence.

"The question is, why can't I be discharged from the hospital after only having an appendectomy? Apart from the abdominal wound, if I had to say what's wrong with me, it would probably be anemia."

Li Zhu did bleed a lot on the way from the hotel to the hospital, but his wounds have almost healed and he can even get out of bed now.

“Mr. Li Zhu in room 301, it’s time to change your dressing.” A sentence interrupted his thoughts.

The nurse pushed in a small cart and said with a smile, "You're awake so early! Come, let me check your body and wounds."

Facing a patient in a VIP ward designated by the Hyuga family, and being such a handsome young man—a rarity among hospital patients—she had been in a very pleasant mood for the past two weeks.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Zhu readily lifted the blanket, pulled up her shirt, revealing her somewhat thin body. After all, she hadn't exercised much for about two weeks, and her muscles had become quite loose.

"You're welcome. I suddenly realized that I think I'm starting to like my job." She licked her lips, her eyes burning with passion.

This pretty nurse was really meticulous. The abdominal wound was only five centimeters long, but Li Zhu's entire upper body was touched and examined. It was the first time he had ever encountered such a dedicated nurse.

"Very good, there are no other symptoms. You are recovering very well and you are ready to be discharged... um, the doctor will inform you of your discharge date later." The nurse almost let slip the secret and hurriedly picked up the medicine and applied it evenly to Li Zhu's wound.

Li Zhu felt a cool sensation seep into the depths of her wound from its surface. "I feel much better now, can't I go home yet?"

"We'll have to wait for the doctor's instructions, after all, I'm just a nurse."

"Okay, could you please notify the doctor for me later?"

"No problem." After saying that, she pulled the little car out.

Shortly after the nurse left.

Mom and Qinyin each brought a carefully prepared nutritious breakfast. Lizhu could hear Mom's voice from afar. They chatted and laughed as they walked into the ward.

"Mom, why did you two come together today?"

"We happened to run into Kotone-chan on the way. We all came to visit you."

"Come on, A-Zhu, try the loving breakfast that Kotone-chan prepared for you." Rinako casually placed the chicken soup and meat porridge she had cooked on the table, but placed Kotone's special breakfast in front of Rinako. "This was prepared for you with great care by someone else. You can't refuse a girl's kindness."

"..." Li Zhu.

Upon hearing the music, she felt incredibly shy, blushed, lowered her head, and didn't know what to do with her little hands.

'Love, a loving breakfast! Could it be that I'm already a qualified wife in Li Zhu's mother's eyes?! Yes, I will try my best!'

Kotone completely forgot what her mother, Hinata Sara, had said. Yes, she came mainly to persuade Riki to marry into the Hinata family, not to flirt or be lovey-dovey.

Almost two weeks have passed, and Kotone still hasn't made any progress. Therefore, Hinata Sara has no choice but to extend Riki's discharge date.

Then, guided by Rinako, Kotone sat down in a daze, scooped up some medicinal porridge with a spoon, and gently blew on it a few times, like a newlywed bride.

"Ah, open your mouth."

Under Ayako's loving gaze, her hands trembled slightly.

"Mmm, it's delicious porridge, thank you." Li Zhu quickly ate the porridge in one bite and expressed her gratitude.

"Don't be so distant, child." Rinako's doting smile vanished abruptly, replaced by a scolding.

"It's all Mom's fault. You were staring at people so intently, Qin Yin got too nervous, and I got a little nervous too," Li Zhu replied, pouting.

"Oh, I see. It's my fault. You two chat first, Mom will wait for you outside." Riko tiptoed out, giving them a "thank you" gesture.

"Sorry, Mom isn't usually like this. She just likes to worry unnecessarily," Li Zhu said with a smile as her mother closed the door.

"It's okay. I think my mom is adorable. She's very kind and treats me very well. I really like this atmosphere." Qin Yin looked at Li Zhu with a gentle expression.

"I'm glad you don't mind." Li Zhu didn't correct her form of address.

At this moment, she stared at Li Zhu's slightly moist, light red lips, her throat moved, and for some reason, she had an urge to kiss her.

"Come on, let's continue drinking the porridge."

"Thank you for your help." Li Zhu nodded.

Seeing Li Zhu obediently being fed by her without any defenses, the seed in Qin Yin's heart was growing rapidly, and the impulse in her heart was burning even hotter.

To be honest, a certain alluring quality about Li Zhu became even more apparent after her injury.

I really want to pin him down on the bed... Ugh, Kotone, what kind of lewd thoughts are in your head?! As the future heir of the Hyuga clan, you can't just think about these things.

Qin Yin forced herself to calm down: Think about the important matter, the important matter... That's it!

"Is this porridge really that delicious?" she asked with a gentle smile.

"It's delicious." Li Zhu was unaware of her inner thoughts; he simply thought the porridge was tasty.

"By the way, my mother asked if you've considered marrying into the Hyuga family in the future."

"?" Li Zhu looked up at her.

Didn't you change the subject too abruptly? We haven't even officially become a couple yet.

"Marrying into another family...that kind of thing seems too far removed from me. I'm only in my first year of high school, and I haven't thought it through yet. Please give me some time to consider it." Li Zhu wanted to refuse outright, but hesitated. He had been absolutely adamant about not marrying into another family before, but now his thoughts were wavering.

This may be why the sound of the zither became important to him.

"Then let me ask another question. Can you be my fiancé? My uncles and aunts have been urging me to..." Qin Yin's voice grew weaker and weaker, and her cheeks flushed red again.

She always needed to find a reason, otherwise how could she express her thoughts, and how could she openly have some intimate contact with Li Zhu?

"Do they want to skip the dating stage and go straight to engagement...?" Li Zhu asked in surprise.

"You think it's too fast? Fine, then I'll formally make my request to you now..."

Halfway through her speech, Qin Yin paused, thinking that something might be missing. Then, she took Li Zhu's right hand in both of hers.

Yes, that's more like it.

She said solemnly, "Um, Li Zhu, may I ask if you can be my...?"

bang——

The two turned around and looked.

The door was forced open, and Riko staggered to regain her balance. The ambiguous atmosphere vanished instantly, and the scene became strange for a moment.

"I'm fine, you guys continue, don't worry about me, ganbatte!"

The door closed gently again.

But the room suddenly fell into an awkward situation.

"Well, I didn't expect Mom to be standing at the door either," Li Zhu said, scratching her head.

At this moment, Qin Yin was still holding Li Zhu's right hand. She cleared her throat and said, "It's okay, you...uh, I..."

For some reason, when she thought of Risako outside, she found herself unable to say what she had just said.

Seeing her conflicted look, Li Zhu found it amusing. "Why are you stammering? Just say what you want to say."

The music was a little choked up, and she felt frustrated.

He could only snort coldly, "Hmph, drink your porridge!"

She gulped down a mouthful of porridge, holding it in her mouth like a pufferfish with its head puffed up. Her eyes were disdainful as she stared intently at Li Zhu. She pointed to her own mouth and then to Li Zhu's lips.

It's as if it's saying: You know how to drink this porridge. Before I get angry, obediently offer your lips to soothe me, or you'll bear the consequences.

"???" Li Zhu's eyes widened.

"Wait, wait! This is too shameful!" He pressed his hand on Qin Yin's shoulder, which was getting closer and closer. "Mom is still outside. What if she comes in later?"

Qin Yin narrowed her eyes slightly, slapped his hand away, lowered her head, and their lips met tightly. She held Li Zhu's head tightly with both hands, not letting him leave.

Hmph, even if Li Zhu's mother came in right now, she wouldn't give in.

At this moment, Li Zhu's pupils trembled violently. His pure and innocent heart felt an immense shock, even though he had only received a sweet and fragrant kiss.

Hmm, and it's filling too...

He took a big sip of the nourishing porridge, which was filled with the sweet saliva of a beautiful young woman. The experience was indescribable; it was something that not everyone could have. It just goes to show that nobility truly lives up to their reputation.

I don't know how much time passed.

The two embraced, their mouths almost empty of porridge, yet Qin Yin was still absorbed in something, her tongue darting wildly through Li Zhu's mouth.

Li Zhu's eyes were dazed, and her cheeks were flushed an abnormally. This was caused by the body's hormones being secreted strongly due to a brief lack of oxygen. At this moment, her body felt a sense of unreal lightness rising within her.

Just then, the faint sound of my mother talking to someone could be heard outside the door.

"Hello, Auntie, is Li Zhu's injury any better?"

Good morning, is Li Zhu awake yet?

"Kaoru, Kyoko, you two are here. A-Zhu is inside, having porridge with Kotone-chan. Come on, I'll take you in."

The three of them froze as soon as they opened the door, their smiles instantly turning to ice.

"This...this is porridge?"

……

Chapter 162 Discharge from the Hospital

"Well, you two are doing such filthy things so early in the morning!" Kyoko shouted.

"Ayu, although men are more energetic in the morning, this is a hospital. Can't we do it after we're discharged? How can you force a girl to do this?" Riko appeared serious, but she was secretly laughing her head off.
