I am the villain in the book

Chapter 50: I Need to Use the Restroom!

Soon, everyone saw that Wei Changtian had woken up and was relieved. After some words of caution, they dispersed, leaving only the few from his courtyard behind.

It wasn't until then that Lu Jingyao, who had been standing at the back of the crowd, was able to approach the bedside.

"You..."

Her delicate face was covered in tears. She had so much to say to Wei Changtian, but after stammering for a long time, she finally asked:

"Are you hungry?"

"...A little."

Wei Changtian nodded honestly. He was indeed a bit hungry after missing two meals.

Qiuyun immediately went to fetch the food that had been prepared, while Yuan'er slowly helped him up from the bed.

Leaning against the headboard, Wei Changtian began to eat with the three women attending to him.

Actually, he could勉强 eat on his own.

But... life is about experiencing new things.

Today, he would experience being fed by three beautiful women at the same time.

If he had the chance in the future, he could also experience being... with three beautiful women at the same time...

"You..."

Lu Jingyao lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes in her hands. "Be careful when you go out to do things in the future."

Oh, I thought you couldn't wait for me to die.

Wei Changtian originally wanted to tease Lu Jingyao with this sentence, but when he saw her red eyes, he changed his mind after all.

"I know."

The room suddenly became quiet. The two looked at each other without speaking.

Until Wei Changtian coughed and casually brought up a topic.

"Ahem, Li Yang has already started preparing for the bookstore. You can help him more when you have time."

"By the way, how is the manuscript of 'Journey to the West' coming along?"

"Everything you've narrated has been organized."

Lu Jingyao's face recovered slightly, and she asked softly, "But can we finish narrating it before the bookstore opens?"

"Finish narrating it?"

Wei Changtian was stunned, and then he understood what Lu Jingyao meant.

Novels in this era were not serialized. They were always published after the author finished writing them. Some even had gaps of several years, or even decades, in between.

Even if some books on the market were divided into "upper, middle, and lower" volumes, that was just a trick that booksellers came up with to sell more books. In reality, the entire book had already been written.

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be finished..."

Wei Changtian briefly explained what "serialization" meant, and Lu Jingyao was naturally very surprised after hearing it.

She didn't expect that her husband was not only skilled in both literature and martial arts, but also understood the way of business!

She stared wide-eyed for a long time before suddenly remembering something else.

"By the way, does my husband want to choose a pen name for himself?"

Oh right, there's that too.

Wei Changtian smacked his forehead.

Indeed, very few people would use their real names to write books these days, especially since he was planning to stay behind the scenes.

But what should he call himself?

Several options instantly popped into his mind.

Wu Cheng'en? Zhou Shuren?

Decision-making difficulties ah...

After thinking for a long time, Wei Changtian suddenly became "evil" and decided on a pen name full of transmigrator's bad taste.

"Let's call it... Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng."

Lu Jingyao was a little puzzled by the name. "What does that mean?"

"You don't need to worry about it, just remember it."

Wei Changtian didn't intend to explain.

"Oh..."

Although Lu Jingyao was even more confused, she nodded and wrote it down.

And Wei Changtian also waved his hand at this time and said, "Alright, I have something to do, you go out first."

"What are you going to do, husband? I can help you."

"No need."

"But you're currently..."

"I said no need."

"I..."

Lu Jingyao was incredibly aggrieved for a moment, but soon her face turned as red as an apple.

Because Wei Changtian finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted:

"I need to use the restroom!"

...

The next morning, the familiar sounds of "Calling the demon, snatching the demon" rang out in the room again.

With Wei Changtian's current situation, he definitely wouldn't be able to do anything for the next few days, so he could only pass the time by playing cards.

Although the women's card skills had greatly improved recently, especially Lu Jingyao, who had even learned to count cards without being taught, they were still losing more than they were winning.

As for the reason...

"Husband, how many cards do you have left?"

Lu Jingyao sat upright at the table, her eyes fixed on the pieces of paper in Wei Changtian's hand.

Wei Changtian didn't hide anything and frankly replied, "Five cards."

"Hmm..."

Lu Jingyao thought for a while, and after confirming that these five cards couldn't form a straight, she nodded. "Then go ahead."

"Okay!"

Wei Changtian slammed all five cards on the table.

"Three of a kind with a pair, I win!"

"???"

Lu Jingyao's eyes widened instantly, and she said in disbelief, "Three of a kind with a pair? Shouldn't three cards only be able to take one card?"

Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, three cards can also take a pair, this is three of a kind with a pair."

"..."

Lu Jingyao was silent for a long time, knowing that even if she protested, she would be blocked by an inexplicable "I have the final interpretation right," and she once again recalled the words Wei Changtian had said—

If you want to change the rules, you must first be able to defeat the person who set the rules.

Lu Jingyao undoubtedly couldn't defeat Wei Changtian, and in the end, she had to silently reach out to shuffle the cards.

It was also at this moment that Qiuyun suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Young Master, there is a Miss Xu at the door who says she wants to see you."

"Hmm?"

Wei Changtian's spirits lifted. "Quick, let her in!"

"Yes."

Qiuyun nodded and retreated, and Yuan'er also consciously stood up.

Only Lu Jingyao hesitated for a while before suddenly gathering her courage and saying, "Husband, I want to stay here."

Wei Changtian was stunned. "Stay here to do what?"

Lu Jingyao's expression was serious. "I want to meet that Miss Xu."

"Oh..."

Wei Changtian nodded thoughtfully.

Half an incense stick later.

Lu Jingyao stood in her room, stomping her foot with a face full of annoyance.

"How annoying!"

"Not letting me stay inside, definitely doing some shady things!"

She muttered softly, her eyes fixed on the outside of the window.

Soon, two beautiful figures appeared in her line of sight.

One was Qiuyun, as for the other... without thinking, it must be that legendary Miss Xu!

Lu Jingyao secretly crouched by the window like a thief, looking up and down at Xu Qingwan, her face sometimes worried and sometimes relaxed.

Hmph! Looks... probably not as pretty as me, right?

But I heard that her martial arts seem very powerful... What's the use! She still caused her husband to suffer such serious injuries!

And at a glance, she doesn't understand poetry, books, and music, and her background is definitely not as good as mine...

While muttering, she watched Xu Qingwan enter the house, and soon heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Lu Jingyao hesitated for a moment, determined to eavesdrop.

But as soon as she left the house, she met Yuan'er, who was guarding the door.

"Madam, what are you planning to do?"

Yuan'er covered her mouth and smiled. "The young master guessed that you were going to eavesdrop on his conversation with Miss Xu! He told me to stop you and not let you go!"

"I..."

Lu Jingyao's face instantly turned red, and she forcibly defended herself, "Who, who wants to listen to them talk!"

"Huh? Then what are you going to do, Madam?"

"I, I... I need to use the restroom!"

The goddess has not been paying attention to me recently, I am very sad, so this week there will only be two updates...
