VFMESR Chapter 15

When Jiang Ling pushed open the door, Chu Wenyu’s round shoulders were covered in frothy bubbles, looking smooth and white. He leaned against the edge of the bathtub with both hands, submerged in the water, completely obscured. His red lips were tightly pressed together, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ling, and his fingers seemed to tremble.

 

Initially, Jiang Ling had only hoped that the villain wouldn’t be too stubborn. After all, for Chu Wenyu, bathing and dressing were troublesome tasks, so he could seek his help. He hadn’t expected that Chu Wenyu would actually have this unexpected mishap, and even more surprising, that he would ask for help.

 

He looked at Chu Wenyu, who opened his mouth and stared at him before saying again, “My leg cramped, it hurts.”

 

But Chu Wenyu couldn’t get up.

 

His heart suddenly softened; this situation couldn’t be the first time it had happened. How had the other party endured these long years? He couldn’t imagine.

 

When one’s legs are cramped, it is essential to massage and relax the leg muscles promptly. Jiang Ling immediately wanted to lift Chu Wenyu out of the water but still asked for his opinion.

 

“Can I carry you?”

 

He thought the other person should be aware of the implications; agreeing would mean exposing his bare legs to an enemy prince without any cover.

 

Without waiting long, he heard the answer.

 

“Mm.”

 

Perhaps it was Jiang Ling’s imagination, but he actually sensed a hint of clinginess in Chu Wenyu’s tone.

 

So he didn’t hesitate any longer and quickly lifted Chu Wenyu out of the bathtub, using a nearby towel to dry his body. He dried him swiftly, with no emphasis on the lower half.

 

Then, he wrapped Chu Wenyu up and headed towards the bed.

 

When the villain had just come out of the water, he hadn’t examined him carefully, and a casual glance had nearly made Jiang Ling gasp in shock. He couldn’t bear to look again.

 

Jiang Ling sat beside him, tentatively lifting the towel under Chu Wenyu’s gaze, fully exposing those legs. He hardly hesitated as his hands went up, giving a delicate massage. His expression remained calm, as if the legs under his palms were no different from normal legs.

 

But his heart wasn’t calm at all. The skin he touched wasn’t smooth at all; it even had strange gaps due to muscle atrophy. The shape was also very abnormal, far from healthy.

 

Jiang Ling didn’t find it frightening or disgusting; he just felt a little uncomfortable.

 

“Aren’t you scared?” Chu Wenyu had experienced the most terrifying moments, and now he was surprisingly calm, even questioning Jiang Ling.

 

He didn’t believe that Jiang Ling didn’t care at all.

 

How could there be no reaction? He had been watching for so many years; looking again would still make him feel nauseous.

 

Or maybe Jiang Ling was too afraid of him to show any unusual behavior, that must be it.

 

“Your Majesty, don’t you think your temper is scarier? Do you think I would be afraid?” Jiang Ling remained unfazed, understanding what Chu Wenyu was thinking. So he didn’t give a direct answer; it would have seemed insincere otherwise.

 

But he genuinely didn’t dislike it.

 

Chu Wenyu smiled strangely, and the furrowed brows relaxed.

 

“A person must take responsibility for their words. From now on, I’ll make you see it every day till you vomit. If I catch you lying, I’ll…” Chu Wenyu stretched out comfortably on the bed, feeling the places that had been touched were warm and comfortable, and the tangled pain from earlier had vanished.

 

“Like how?” Jiang Ling retorted without a care in the world.

 

“Don’t you know my temperament? Can’t you guess for yourself?” Chu Wenyu pursed his lips, appearing oddly relaxed.

 

“Would you kill me?” Jiang Ling had to glance back at the original owner’s fate, but it seemed he wasn’t too worried.

 

Could Chu Wenyu, the one who could tolerate his intimate contact now, really do it?

 

If his calves could exert force on their own, Chu Wenyu would have loved to stomp on Alpha’s face without a hint of remorse.

 

“Heh, why would it be so cheap for you?” At the very least, he’d have to be a slave to him for a lifetime.

 

“Knead harder.” Chu Wenyu scolded, his legs feeling somewhat weak. He wanted to feel Alpha’s strength.

 

He really was the villain; now he was starting to enjoy it.

 

Jiang Ling raised his head, only to see the towel barely covering the key area. He could easily see the slender, flexible waist and that face that seemed like the whole world owed him money.

 

But according to the setting of this book, it really did owe him. To make the villain bad without a doubt, the author gave him an unhealthy body and an unfortunate childhood. That was owed to him, right?

 

“Where are you looking?” Chu Wenyu coolly glared at him.

 

Jiang Ling could only helplessly shift his gaze elsewhere and whispered, “His Majesty and I are both Alphas, what’s there to worry about?”

 

According to the ABO setting in this world, two Alphas weren’t likely. But even if they were together, it was fine. They wouldn’t have to have children. As for the restraint of pheromones, although Alphas were easily attracted by Omega’s pheromones, now almost every Omega had suppressants on hand. Plus, he didn’t think he’d go into heat for someone he didn’t like. Although it is said that the combination of Alpha and Omega seems to bring more happiness, the momentary physical pleasure cannot be compared to the joy of being with someone you love.

 

Jiang Ling didn’t know why he had started thinking about such profound gender-related issues, and it felt like he was brainwashing himself. He had almost forgotten how he had decided on the first day of his transmigration that his future partner had to be a female Omega.

 

Who the heck was Alpha?

 

Chu Wenyu was choked and couldn’t say that he wasn’t actually an Alpha but was pretending to be one.

 

But being taken advantage of like this for no reason… well, Alpha was young, had good looks, and a great figure. In any case, he was the one getting the advantage, having lived for thirty years and finally finding a good deal.

 

“Does it still hurt now?” Jiang Ling asked with concern, looking at the villain’s expression and assuming he wasn’t uncomfortable anymore, so he asked.

 

“Hmm? It still hurts,” Chu Wenyu lied without any discomfort. Being massaged felt so good, so he changed positions, letting Jiang Ling massage the other side.

 

Even Chu Wenyu himself didn’t realize that his tone seemed to be tinged with a hint of coquettishness, even though his voice remained husky and magnetic. Perhaps he had instinctively placed himself in the Omega position in front of Jiang Ling, softened a bit, which was understandable. It was happening so easily during a time when emotions were heating up.

 

Now, he had almost no secrets from Jiang Ling, except for his face. The mask really couldn’t come off, or he would have too many flaws. It was fine as it was now.

 

“Tomorrow, help me with a back rub. I can’t reach it,” Chu Wenyu ordered with a straight face, not worrying that Jiang Ling would be disgusted. After all, he had already been seen through.

 

Jiang Ling: “…”

 

Is this how you take advantage of a situation?
