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

Maybe I'll be able to hold my grandson next year.

“Yes, I know I was wrong,” Li Zhu replied.

He glanced back at Qinyin, whose head was almost touching the floor of the bed in embarrassment. He didn't blame her, but inwardly sighed at his own lack of self-control.

"You brat, you know you're wrong but you won't repent, huh?"

"Auntie, please don't make things difficult for Li Zhu. I think his injury is probably not a big problem. After all, he still has the energy to do these things." Xun covered her mouth and smiled. She didn't care what Li Zhu had done. She was happy to see him so energetic.

"Good child, that brat A-Zhu has worried you." Rinako couldn't help but take Xun's fair little hand and glare at Rinako.

"Ken-chan is such a kind person through and through," Kyoko pouted, then turned to look at Riku, "Hmph, Riku, you have no heart."

Li Zhu: Why does it sound like I've committed some heinous crime...?

Xun didn't say anything, she just smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Recalling the moment she received the news that Li Zhu was seriously injured and hospitalized, it was like a bolt from the blue. Even she, who had always been so calm, couldn't help but panic, feeling as if something was missing from her heart.

Left with no other choice, she hurriedly took leave to visit him at the hospital.

At that time, Li Zhu was still being rescued. Several bodyguards were guarding the corridor, and Hinata Kotone was standing at the door of the ward, crying her eyes out. Hinata Sara-senpai was holding her and constantly comforting her.

This scene was strikingly similar to what Xun and her mother had waited anxiously at the door years ago, hoping that her father, who had been in a car accident, would be alright.

Xun was terrified; she was afraid of losing another important person, just as she had lost her father.

She cherishes very few people.

"Excuse me, may I ask what happened to Riku?" When she came to her senses, Kaoru had already come to their side and asked Sara-senpai and Kotone.

"You are... the young lady from the Kazama family?" Hinata Sara asked in confusion.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If it weren't for saving me, Li Zhu wouldn't have become like this. I'm sorry..." Qin Yin looked up at Xun, her eyes filled with tears, choking back sobs as she blamed herself.

Hinata Sara briefly recounted how Riki pushed Kotone aside and shielded her from the knife.

"I see. So he ended up like this because he was trying to save you. It's definitely something he would do." Xun was both amused and exasperated. On one hand, she felt that Li Zhu couldn't shake this habit, and on the other hand, she felt that Li Zhu should be alright.

It's like a hero who has just embarked on a journey to defeat the demon king, only to die in a hunter's trap while trying to save a rabbit.

It’s ridiculous.

How could he, how could he just die while saving people? He still had so many people to save, so many responsibilities to shoulder, and so many people who loved him.

If there truly are gods in this world, then you'd better open your eyes wide; such people cannot simply die like this.

With that thought in mind, she bit her lip. "We have to believe in Li Zhu. He'll be alright."

“Yes, I also believe in this child’s tenacity. Even if it’s a trial to enter the Hyuga clan, my precious Kotone’s husband needs to be alive.” Hyuga Sara nodded, half-jokingly.

Qin Yin couldn't speak, she just cried hard; she was probably the person most worried about Li Zhu's safety at the scene.

At that moment, a doctor came out.

"Fortunately, we have accomplished our mission. The patient is out of danger. When he was first brought to the hospital, his vital signs were very weak. However, we later discovered that he had only had his appendix removed, and his vital signs were slowly recovering. It was a strange thing."

"He had a lot of bleeding, but thankfully he was rushed to the hospital in time. Luckily, the hospital's blood bank had blood of the same type. This patient is really lucky." The doctor took off his mask and smiled with relief.

It seems even fate is on his side.

"Waaah, Li Zhu is alright..." Qin Yin cried with joy, almost collapsing to the ground.

……

Later, Riki woke up quickly. With the special arrangements made by the Hyuga family, he enjoyed the best conditions, and the treatment was very effective.

He just can't be discharged from the hospital.

During this time, many people came to visit him: Hina-sensei and Arisaka-sensei, most of the students in Class 1-D, members of the disciplinary committee and several familiar seniors, as well as some girls who had given him love letters, including Kujo and Kagami who also came once.

The mirror even licked Li Zhu's abdominal wound, like some small animal healing itself with saliva, showing its care for Li Zhu in its own way.

It's worth mentioning that the fruits and flowers received by Rinju filled half of the ward. This grand occasion made the Hyuga family feel very anxious, especially with the arrival of Kujo Marie. They never expected that their chosen son-in-law would be so sought after.

No, we need to get Qinyin and Lizhu officially together as soon as possible.

Qin Yin always hesitated or forgot to ask, which is why Li Zhu has been unable to be discharged from the hospital for so long.

……

The kissing incident was temporarily put to rest after Xun spoke up.

Riko was overjoyed and chatted with the three girls, asking about the school and their opinions on Riko... leaving Riko out in the cold.

Soon after, Dr. Kato came to examine Riki in person.

"Yes, you're recovering very well. Li Zhu can be discharged today..." he said as Qin Yin nodded in agreement.

"Yay! I can finally go home."

Before being discharged, the doctor prescribed some topical medications and gave some instructions. After listening to Li Zhu's instructions, she was able to leave.

"By the way, doctor, what's Fujiwara Miki's condition now?" Remembering her, Rin had to turn back and ask.

"Her brain has been affected by the medication, and she has fallen into a deep coma. There is a very high probability that she will become a vegetable," Dr. Kato said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing the words "vegetative state patient," Li Zhu fell silent.

Seeing Li Zhu's appearance, he assumed she had some kind of trauma, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, under the influence of several drugs that severely damage the brain, the probability of her waking up is less than ten percent, and even if she does wake up, there's a very high chance she'll become an idiot, or at the very least, she'll lose her memory."

"Let me give you a secret piece of advice: avoid contact with people or drugs from the Sakurai family. In the past decade, many of the strange cases our hospital has seen are related to drugs secretly developed by the Sakurai family. Although the Sakurai family was forced to ban those things five years ago, they can always find a way to get their hands on those banned drugs if there is a need."

"I didn't actively seek out anything related to the Sakurai family, it's just that those dangerous things somehow seem to like coming to me," Riki said with a wry smile.

His first contact was with Yuko's drug that secretly altered his constitution, then Miki's **, and then the hallucinogenic and manic drugs at the hotel this time.

But what could be done? One of them had the surname Sakurai, and the other was a hidden professional assassin. They both had channels to obtain that kind of drug. It was such a low-probability event, yet Riki encountered it all.

"Anyway, just be careful. I've already seen you in the hospital several times in just a few months. I don't want to see you in a morgue or something like that next time." The doctor's expression was serious.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, doctor."

After being discharged from the hospital.

Everyone decided to have a discharge meal to celebrate Li Zhu's discharge from the hospital.

"Ta-da! Did you miss me, everyone?~" Chika is the shop owner, and it was she who suggested that the young lady lead everyone over.

"Hey, isn't this your son-in-law? You're finally discharged from the hospital! Our great hero is discharged! I've decided to give you a loving hug."

She limped over to hug Li Zhu. It is said that Qian Hua was like this when she first woke up, her whole body aching as if she had been beaten up.

"No need for hugs, and you're certainly not a great hero." Li Zhu reached out and pressed her face against hers, preventing her from getting close.

I always feel that being around idiots will bring me misfortune.

Yes, in Li Zhu's eyes, this guy is just a loud, reckless idiot who wastes money.

Actually, Chika used to have another nickname: the investment goddess who loves black stockings. As for why she was called that, she used to be known as the youngest money-making machine in the history of the Hyuga family, a true business genius!

At the spirited eighteen-year-old, she conquered countless business tycoons and instilled fear in many. Moreover, she did indeed love wearing black stockings, all year round. Once, she even changed three sets of black stockings in one day, which is how she got this nickname.

She had fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs in black stockings, and was a typical rich, beautiful, and sophisticated woman. But somehow, she gradually turned into a goofball, acting irresponsibly and recklessly. She also liked to drive fast and never learned her lesson.

"How about a loving kiss?"

"Sister Qianhua?" Qin Yin's expression was terrifyingly cold.

"Ah, haha, I was just kidding. Let's go get something to eat." She laughed awkwardly a few times and quickly changed the subject.

Because Li Zhu was a patient, everyone ate some light soups and dishes and that was it. After saying goodbye to Qin Yin and the others, Li Zhu went home with her mother.

Just got home.

A phone call came in; it was from Li Zhu's grandmother, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Hey, Ayako, how's A-Zhu doing? We haven't heard from you for so many days, we're so worried." An elderly voice came from the other end, sounding very kind.

"Hmph, I told you back then that she couldn't take care of the children. She couldn't even keep an eye on her own son, and she's been gone for nine years..." The old man muttered indignantly on the side. You could imagine a fairly energetic old man fuming and glaring anxiously.

"Old man, could you please say less? Cai Zi finally agreed to contact us after a long time, do you want to drive her away again?"

The old man snorted coldly and stopped talking. After so many years, this stubborn old man seemed to have finally compromised with his daughter, which was unimaginable before.

“She’s been gone for so many years without a word, and she said she was coming back but she never did. I have no idea what Ayako is doing.” This was the first time he had ever spoken to his daughter with such a hurt tone.

"Shut up, old man, I'm not listening to you anymore."

"Hey, Ayako, don't listen to the old man's nonsense. How is A-Zhu doing? Give me an answer. Hey, is the signal bad?"

"Old man, the signal at home seems to be bad again."

"Let's go to the rooftop and take a look."

Unbeknownst to the elderly couple, Rinako was already in tears and sobbing uncontrollably on the other end of the phone.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"Ayako? Don't scare me! Has something really happened to Ayako?!"

Reluctantly, Li Zhu answered her mother's call, "Grandma, please don't worry, the doctor said I've almost recovered and was just discharged from the hospital today."

"You are...A-Zhu?" Grandma asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I am Azhu."

"Hey, it really is Ah Zhu! Old man, come quick, come hear your grandson's voice!"

"Hmph, I'm listening. You don't need to get so close."

"The old man said he didn't hear you clearly, why don't you say a few more words?"

“Okay, Grandma, cough, I’m your grandson Azhu. I’ve almost recovered. Don’t worry, Mom and I will go back to visit you and Grandpa in a few days,” Lizhu said obediently.

"Yes, dear grandson, we're not in a hurry. We've waited nine years already, so a few more days won't make a difference. We've been looking forward to you every day, waiting for you to come home."

Li Zhu was laughing when suddenly her eyes welled up with tears.

Having lived two lives, all I felt was hearing the old man's trembling voice say, "We're waiting for you to come home."

It blinded me.

……

Chapter 163 Compensation

In the depths of winter, a vast expanse of snow stretched before my eyes.

"It's quite cold today," Qin Yin said in a good mood.

These past few days, their relationship has become increasingly harmonious. The serene and unspoken understanding between them is like a warm current in the cold night, gently flowing through their hearts.

“In the past, the city I lived in never snowed, and it felt much colder than here.” Li Zhu thought for a moment and briefly recounted her experiences from her previous life.

In the nearby park, many children were having a snowball fight and building snowmen. Li Zhu and Qin Yin strolled by slowly, wrapped up tightly, with only their clean white faces showing, like two walking rice dumplings.

The two chatted casually, when suddenly, a strange smile appeared on Li Zhu's lips as she looked at Qin Yin and chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Yin asked.

Why are you dressed like this today? You look so silly.

"I like wearing this, is that wrong?" Qin Yin said, hands on her hips, like a silly penguin from Antarctica.

Actually, she wanted to experience the same feeling as Li Zhu, which is why she dressed like that.

And don't they look more like a married couple now?

"Could it be that you've gained weight recently?" Li Zhu said with a mischievous grin.

"You jerk! You're the one who's gained weight. I weighed you yesterday, and you're exactly 50kg." Qin Yin wrinkled her pretty nose and raised her fist to punch him.

At nearly 1.7 meters tall, this weight is considered thin.

The two played in the snow for a while. Although it was different from their usual quiet time together, it gave them a sense of novelty, as if they had returned to the time when they had just met.

Then they slowly built a snowman, and stopped having a snowball fight because it was too cold, and neither of them wanted to throw snowballs at the other.

Their hands, like magnets attracting each other, held each other without them even realizing it. Walking on the snow-covered street, even the biting cold wind seemed to bring a touch of warmth.

"I wish our relationship could last forever, just the two of them, without anyone else, forever and ever, until the end of time." Qin Yin secretly glanced at Li Zhudong's slightly flushed cheeks, thinking greedily.

next second.

"Qinyin, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow." Lizhu looked ahead.
