Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 191: Scream in the Dark
Ruan Chanchan was walking away, but when she heard the mer’s response, she paused and turned to look at him. "What did you say?"
"I didn’t jump in the river myself," said Yuan Ni as he wiped his eyes angrily. He sniffed and then said to Ruan Chanchan, "I never wanted to kill myself. I only came here because I wanted to hide from my grandmother, who seemed to have gone crazy, but then Shao Xia came to look for me. The two of us exchanged a few heated words, and she pushed me into the river. She used her totem energy, which made it impossible for me to swim back up, or else why would I let myself drown?"
"Do you think I am so foolish that I will try to kill myself for someone who didn’t even care about me in the slightest? That too twice in a day?" Now that Yuan Ni knew that Ruan Chanchan was the one who saved him, he didn’t want Ruan Chanchan to think that he was still pining after Shao Xia. At the same time, he was furious when he thought about how Shao Xia had lied to him. He had asked her again and again if she was the one who saved him, and she had told him that it was her. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Since she was the only one who was around him at that time, he didn’t think that there was anything wrong with her statement.
But now he realised that the woman had schemed against him to get more meat for her family. Yuan Ni was seething with anger as he said in a hoarse voice, "I did want to die in the afternoon, but I had no such intention this time around. I was just hiding in here, but then she came and attacked me out of nowhere when I tried to fight against her. She shoved me into the water. I couldn’t fight the strong currents with her spiritual energy disrupting my own."
Ruan Chanchan was speechless. For the first time, she realised that she had no words to say at that moment. Her usually eloquent mouth was at a loss for words, and he didn’t know where to begin. After calming down, the first thing she said was, "Are you stupid? When you knew that you couldn’t fight with him, why did you even try to fight with her? She is stronger than you in every way. Why would you try to fight with her?"
Yuan Ni turned his head and remained silent for a while, and then he said, "I don’t know either. Maybe I just felt angry. Anyway, my feelings for her were meaningless. I realised that without anything in my hands and any special abilities, I will just be treated as someone who could be taken advantage of. I was lucky that I survived the last time, but this time around, no one was there to help me. And I thought...and I thought that maybe it was better to die. Maybe then Shao Xia would stop haunting me. Just because I didn’t die the first time she tried to kill me, the second time. Who knows, maybe she would do it the third time?"
He told the truth mixed with lies. He knew that Ruan Chanchan didn’t like him, and after what happened today, there was a very good chance she might not even want to talk to him. He knew that he couldn’t get close to Ruan Chanchan if he didn’t do this. Maybe after saying these things to her, she would at least feel sorry for him?
Ruan Chanchan frowned when she heard the grievance of the mer. She didn’t know what to say to him. If she said that he was an idiot, Ruan Chanchan was worried that the mer would end up bursting into tears. The poor mer looked like he was about to cry...and if she dared to scold him, maybe he would really burst into tears.
Darling, do not be fooled by his pathetic appearance. Do not forget that this poor mer was the one who schemed against you and tried to harm you. Xiao Xi spoke through gritted teeth. Unlike Ruan Chanchan, he was not that eager to forgive Yuan Ni. This mer was really scheming. Earlier, he was looking at Ruan Chanchan as if she were his bitter enemy, and now, all of a sudden, he was staring at her with that shy, ambiguous look in his eyes. Did he think he was unable to understand that complex look? He understood it very well.
Only Ruan Chanchan, who had been a scumbag all her life and later got cheated by her lovers, wouldn’t be able to tell that this mer was interested in her out of nowhere. Sighing heavily, she said to Yuan Ni, "I won’t tell anyone about this. You can deal with it as you want." She knew that the mer was not going to tell anyone the truth about Shao Xia hurting him; since that was the case, then she might as well keep it to herself.
After speaking, Ruan Chanchan turned to walk away, but then she felt someone tug on her wrist. Startled, she turned to look at Yuan Ni, who was holding her wrist. She looked at the mer and then looked down at her wrist before frowning hard. "What?" She asked, wondering what the mer was even trying to do. The two of them were not that close, were they, that he could touch her as he wanted?
"Can—can you stay with me? I am scared that Shao Xia will come to finish me off," Yuan Ni said softly. He was, of course, not scared, but he wanted to spend some time with Ruan Chanchan.
Ruan Chanchan frowned, but she still nodded. Behind her, Xiao Xi frantically shook his head. Why does it matter to them if this mer was attacked by that woman? He deserved it for getting entangled with that woman.
"Darling—"
"AHHHH!!!"
