My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 18

Lin Lang couldn’t help but chuckle while listening from the side.

Well, although it’s a bit unkind, it’s really both tragic and hilarious.

Who would have thought that someone as beautiful as Ruan Qingci would have such a rocky love life!

Every time we start, it stalls, and when you round it off, it’s like we never dated at all, and I still get a bad reputation.

Just as she finished her work, she closed her laptop, stood up, and prepared to take a shower. To avoid accidentally laughing out loud if she heard any more, which would make the young lady turn around and cause her trouble.

Lin Lang went back to the bedroom to get ready for a shower. In a little while, the living room will be filled with familiar faces.

Tang Yisheng, Fang Qingming, and Dong Xiao exchanged a furtive glance, their eyes sparkling with the light of gossip.

Tang Yisheng cleared his throat and spoke first, “Hey, Qingci, you better come clean. Have there been any developments in the past two years?”

Ruan Qingci smiled and played a card: “If I had it, I would definitely tell you! Am I the kind of person who hides things?”

Fang Qingming followed up with a question, casually probing: “Do you have a crush on someone?”

As the only unmarried woman, Dong Xiao rolled her eyes at her two roommates and spoke more openly and directly: “There’s no need to be so rigid about gender.”

Fang Qingming’s cheeks twitched slightly, but his expression remained calm and composed as he backtracked, “Hmm, making new friends with a good rapport is also worth being happy about.”

Ruan Qingci finally caught on, a hint of disbelief in her voice as she exclaimed, “Heavens, are you talking about Lin Lang?”

Since the matter has been made clear, the three of them no longer beat around the bush and all stared at Ruan Qingci, their faces filled with a thirst for knowledge, listening intently as if they
were reviewing key points with the teacher before an exam.

Ruan Qingci felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at, slightly turned away, but quickly turned back with an annoyed puff. She muttered, “Are you guys out of your minds? What could possibly happen
between Lin Lang and me?”

It’s just a friend, at most add one more word, good friend!

The three continued to stare at her.

Indeed, having shared a dormitory for six years, they all know exactly what kind of person Ruan Qingci is and what her habits are.

In college dorms, they are generally quite similar, and there will be an unwritten agreement—

After getting out of the single life, the relationship has stabilized, and I want to introduce my partner to my roommates.

If the relationship isn’t stable enough, and you feel like it’s just not quite there, you won’t be introduced to the sisterhood. For example, Ruan Qingci’s previous suitors, including her first boyfriend with whom she had a formal relationship, were never brought before them.

Moreover, Ruan Qingci is a person with a strong sense of boundaries and won’t casually break the dimensional wall.

When her former high school classmates came to Beijing, or people like He Jikai who came under the pretense of being family friends or fellow townsmen, she would host them separately and wouldn’t
introduce them to her roommates.

If they were to meet outside, they might give each other a brief introduction and say hello. But she wouldn’t arrange for the two groups to hang out together.

Now she not only brings Lin Lang to meet them and play together but also takes it for granted to boss him around, even for things like going skiing and soaking in hot springs on weekends, she just
has to say a word, and Lin Lang takes care of everything else.

It’s even more natural than Dong Xiao ordering Chen Hua around.

If this is considered nothing, then what degree would it take to be considered something?

“Alright, alright.” Ruan Qingci was truly defeated by them; why were they so eager to know the gossip?

“She saved me once, and later on, she helped me several more times. She’s a really nice person, and we get along well, so that’s how it is.” “She saved me once, and then she helped me several more
times. She’s a really nice person, and we get along well, so that’s how it is.”

Such a brief explanation did not satisfy the roommates. They also noticed that Ruan Qingci used the word “rescue,” indicating the seriousness of the situation.

Continue casting the “Love and Care” spell on Ruan Qingci.

So many things have happened, and yet I never even let slip a single word to them. Can I still consider them good friends, or even sisters?

So much time has passed, and many things have happened in between. The disgust, anger, and hatred from back then have faded, so there’s nothing that can’t be said.

Ruan Qingci pondered for a moment, briefly recounting how He Jikai had plotted against her, only to be inadvertently saved by Lin Lang. Later, during the investigation of related matters, Lin Lang had also provided significant help.

At this point, she vaguely mentioned her parents’ divorce and officially announced that from now on, she would be called Gu Qingci.

The little one is quite proud, showing no signs of defeat at all.

The roommates are not inconsiderate people. It’s not appropriate to talk too much about parents’ divorce, so to change the subject, they naturally pressed Lin Lang for details.

Soon, all the information about Lin Lang was extracted from Gu Qingci’s mouth.

Started my own business in college and made quite a bit over the years. I used to work at a big company, but earlier this year, I was poached to be Gu Qingci’s mom’s assistant.

Alright, it sounds pretty much like that.

If they are both a life-and-death friend and your mother’s assistant, having a closer, more affectionate relationship seems reasonable, right?

The roommates had to work the next day, so the four of them didn’t stay out too late and dispersed after midnight. After all, tomorrow is Friday, and they’ll be together for the next two days of the
weekend, so there’s no need to stay up late.

Before going to bed, because her roommates had teased her, Gu Qingci originally wanted to talk to Lin Lang. Was their relationship so easy to be misunderstood?

She was just too tired. After washing up and getting into bed, she quickly couldn’t keep her eyes open. Before she completely fell into a deep sleep, she vaguely comforted herself, “Hmm, this isn’t a big deal. I’ll deal with it after I wake up.”

When I woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Gu Qingci sat on the bed with the blanket wrapped around him, his eyes dazed for quite a while before he gradually came to his senses.

She instinctively turned her head to look beside her, but it was completely empty—there wasn’t even a ghostly shadow, let alone a person.

Oh, I just remembered, Lin Lang was supposed to meet a client this morning.

Realizing that Lin Lang was not here, Gu Qingci suddenly felt a bit empty inside.

Last night, the place was full of friends, but this morning, with only a solitary cup left, there is always a sense of desolate loneliness as if being left behind.

Gu Qingci muttered softly, “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

When you’re awake, there’s someone there, but when you wake up from a nap and find yourself all alone, it’s a completely different feeling, isn’t it?

She flipped her phone out, opened it, and saw that Lin Lang had sent her several messages on WeChat.

Gu Qingci had a smile on his face as he scrolled through the chat box, reading each message one by one.

Some should have been sent while on the road, expressing the biting cold of Beijing’s winter mornings. Then there are jokes about Beijing’s subway, complaints about Beijing’s air quality, and a
little grumbling about clients who are late, still not showing up after the agreed time…

The last message said that I had finished meeting with the client and was on my way back, and I would arrive around 12:30. I asked her to wait a bit so we could have lunch together.

Gu Qingci snorted and replied to her message: “Okay.”

After thinking for a moment, I added, “I want something lighter.”

Lin Lang quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll look for one and pick a place with good food.”

Gu Qingci finally got out of bed and changed clothes, feeling quite satisfied.

While brushing her teeth and washing her face, the issues she wanted to discuss last night resurfaced in her mind. Thinking about her roommates’ teasing and recalling the several messages Lin Lang
sent her that morning, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Isn’t Lin Lang being a bit too clingy?

She frowned slightly, hesitatingly thinking, why not just be more careful and keep some distance in the future?

By the time I went downstairs and saw Lin Lang standing upright on the steps, the sunlight cast from behind her. She slightly tilted her face up, the contrast between her restrained sharpness and
her elegant, refined beauty created a striking allure.

Seduced by beauty, Gu Qingci immediately discarded the calculations he had just made in his mind.

She thought, almost bewitched, that Lin Lang was both handsome and beautiful, indistinguishable between male and female, with looks and figure. A misunderstanding is just a misunderstanding; it
doesn’t matter, she wouldn’t lose anything!
