I am the villain in the book

"Glug, glug ~"

The wheels rolled over the bluestone pavement, and the last carriage drove into the depths of the night.

Soon, Han Zhao also left by carriage.

Wei Changtian turned around, looked at Liang Qin and Yang Liushi, who both had curious expressions, and asked with a smile:

"What's wrong? Do you want to ask about Li Zimu's matter?"

Just now, he and Han Zhao had both kept their voices very low, so the two women couldn't hear the content of their conversation.

However, he didn't deliberately lower his voice when talking to Chu Xianping, so these two women must be curious about the gossip.

"Yes, yes!"

Sure enough, Liang Qin immediately nodded and ran over with an expectant look, asking:

"Changtian-ge, quickly tell us!"

"Isn't Miss Li always in love with Young Master Chu? What's her relationship with that Tang Chen?"

"This is a long story. Do you still remember that the spies we planted in the enemy army all disappeared overnight?"

While walking towards the courtyard, Wei Changtian told the two women the story.

The whole thing wasn't complicated, so by the time the three of them walked back to Liang Qin's bedroom, he had already told most of it.

". So, Tang Chen is back again."

"This time he probably won't leave again in a short time, unless one day he completely gives up on Li Zimu."

"But based on the current situation, Li Zimu shouldn't let him go easily, and it's even possible that she'll turn the act into reality ."

"Changtian-ge, wait a moment."

Blinking her eyes, Liang Qin interrupted with some confusion: "Isn't Miss Li always deceiving Tang Chen? How could she turn the act into reality?"

"Is she being genuine or fake towards Tang Chen?"

"Turning the act into reality, naturally it's fake now."

Wei Changtian shook his head with a smile: "But it might become real in the future, or maybe it's already half-true now."

"Is that so?"

With a slight frown, Liang Qin nodded as if she understood, but judging from her expression, she probably still didn't understand.

In her opinion, fake is fake, and real is real, especially when it comes to feelings, how can it be both fake and real?

Having not experienced it, having not encountered it, of course she wouldn't understand.

Therefore, Liang Qin's face was now full of confusion.

On the other hand, Yang Liushi seemed to understand this complex relationship even more, and at this time she softly explained:

"Liang-meimei, it's very difficult to have such clear-cut love and hate."

"Miss Li initially approached Tang Chen perhaps to gather information, but you have to know that there is no deep hatred between the two of them, and it's inevitable that they will develop some feelings after a long time together."

"Moreover, Xianggong just said that in order to deceive Tang Chen, Miss Li has to deceive herself first."

"Over time, Miss Li is probably not sure whether her feelings are real or fake, so it's possible that she'll turn the act into reality."

"Oh, I seem to understand ."

"Sigh."

After listening to Yang Liushi's explanation, Liang Qin finally vaguely understood something.

She sighed softly, not knowing whether she was sighing for Li Zimu or for Tang Chen.

In short, this sigh should be pitying someone's current situation.

And although Wei Changtian understood why she sighed, he didn't intend to continue talking about it, but just waved his hand with a smile:

"Let's not talk about this."

"Now that Brother Chu is back, in a few days we should also return to Great Shu, and Tang Chen will definitely go back with us."

The evening breeze was gentle, and the stars were sparse.

The topic of the "love triangle" came to an end, and although Liang Qin seemed a little unsatisfied, she didn't say much.

Yang Liushi immediately stood up and said with a smile:

"Okay, Gongzi, Liang-meimei, you should rest, I'm going back."

"Okay, I'll see you off."

Wei Changtian also stood up, turned his head and said to Liang Qin: "You go to sleep first, I'll be back soon."

"Oh."

Liang Qin looked at the two of them and suggested in a low voice: "Changtian-ge, why don't you stay with Sister Liushi tonight?"

"Although I'm pregnant, you don't have to accompany me every day ."

Her cheeks were slightly red, and her tone was very soft.

Since Liang Qin became pregnant, Wei Changtian had been accompanying her every night and hadn't stayed overnight at Yang Liushi's place.

It seemed that she was too embarrassed to "monopolize her husband's favor", so she took the initiative to suggest that Wei Changtian go to Yang Liushi's place to sleep for one night.

Wei Changtian didn't answer whether he would or not, but just said, "You just go to sleep first," and walked out of the house with Yang Liushi.

The moonlight was bright and the breeze was gentle.

The two walked on the bluestone path, with a small stone lamp every few steps on both sides, lighting up clusters of faint fluorescent light.

Walking side by side, the two didn't speak at first.

It wasn't until they completely walked out of Liang Qin's courtyard and into a small bamboo forest that Wei Changtian finally opened his mouth and asked:

"What's wrong? I saw you looking a little worried just now."

"Did I?"

Yang Liushi subconsciously asked, then lowered her head, gathered the hair beside her ear, and nodded lightly.

"Gongzi, after hearing about Tang Chen's matter just now ."

"Nujia thought of Miss You."

Miss You.

Wei Changtian's footsteps paused, and his expression froze for a moment.

Yang Liushi was one of the few people who knew You Jia's true identity, and even if she hadn't reminded him at the beginning, he wouldn't have noticed so early that You Jia was Long Que.

And now, when Yang Liushi mentioned this name again, Wei Changtian realized that You Jia's experience was so similar to Tang Chen's.

Indeed.

Both were deceived in their feelings, both were used by others

The only difference might be that before this relationship full of deception began, Tang Chen and Li Zimu could not be considered enemies, while he and You Jia were clearly on opposite sides.

Perhaps that's why Li Zimu now has some genuine feelings for Tang Chen, while he has never wavered from beginning to end .

Wait.

Has he really never wavered?

Thinking of this, Wei Changtian's eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

He didn't say anything, and Yang Liushi naturally wouldn't ask any further.

The two silently walked out of the bamboo forest and over a small bridge.

The moonlight sprinkled on the water surface under the bridge, reflecting shimmering light.

Several peach trees were planted on the shore of the small lake, and the branches were full of pink, small flower buds.

Were the peach blossoms about to bloom?

Although Wei Changtian often passed by here, this was the first time he had noticed these peach blossom buds.

His gaze lingered on the peach trees for a long time, and he seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance of peach blossoms.

Wei Changtian suddenly remembered the last time he saw You Jia.

That was in Fengyuan City.

Ning Yongnian ordered You Jia to kill him, the latter pretended to fail the assassination, and then returned to the Great Ning Capital with the people from Longwei.

Thinking about it now, if he had known at the time that this farewell would be forever, perhaps he wouldn't have let You Jia leave.

Alas, and Li Wutong.

Who could have imagined at the time that things would turn out like this?

Thinking of his experiences in Fengyuan, thinking of You Jia and Li Wutong, Wei Changtian felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

Last year today, in this gate, human faces and peach blossoms reflected each other in red.

The human face does not know where to go, the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

Forget it, it's all in the past.

Things change, and it is undoubtedly a pity that they will never meet again.

But this kind of regret that is triggered by the scenery often comes quickly and goes quickly, almost in an instant.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wei Changtian shook his head self-deprecatingly.

And Yang Liushi beside him silently looked at him, swallowing back the words that were on her lips.

In fact, Yang Liushi didn't just think of You Jia just now, she also thought of herself.

She was different from Liang Qin, who had known Wei Changtian since childhood and was his childhood sweetheart.

She was also different from Xu Qingwan, who had fallen in love with Wei Changtian at first sight.

Didn't Wei Changtian initially approach her in order to use her?

The moonlight was like water, falling on the shoulders of the two.

Today, Yang Liushi certainly doesn't doubt Wei Changtian's affection for her.

But .

"Gongzi."

Pushing open the door, Yang Liushi turned her head and asked with a smile: "Are you staying tonight?"

"Forget it."

Wei Changtian stopped outside the door: "Go to sleep early, I'm going back."

"."

"Okay."
