Chapter 41: He's the Twisted Villain in the Book

But the first time they met, Shi Ciyan had floating text above his head, but now it was gone. This matter kept bothering Yu Wei.

Who is he?

The subtitles said "Important Character," but didn't make it clear if he was the protagonist or another role.

In the novel's plot, besides the protagonist, the most necessary character is the second male lead.

If Shi Ciyan isn't the protagonist, could he be the second male lead?

Just as Yu Wei was deep in thought, the private room door opened again.

"Brother Yuwei, what are you thinking about?"

"Why are you back?" Yu Wei looked up at the person who had returned. Shi Ciyan had clearly left with the others ten minutes ago.

"I was waiting for you outside. When you didn't come out, I came back." Shi Ciyan sat beside him and asked, "You barely ate today—didn't you like the food?"

Yu Wei shook his head, nervously gulping as he looked at him.

Shi Ciyan, is he the second male lead?

Shi Ciyan's head was completely empty—nothing at all.

Yu Wei couldn't help but frown. "Shi Ciyan, who exactly are you?"

Neither this nor that.

"What do you mean?" Shi Ciyan tilted his head, looking confused.

Yu Wei sighed, got up, and said, "It's nothing. Let's go."

As long as he wasn't the protagonist, it was all the same to Yu Wei.

The two went downstairs one after another. Yu Wei walked directly to the parking lot, turned back to look at the person who had followed him the whole way, and asked, "How are you getting back?"

"I'll catch the bus." Shi Ciyan instinctively put on a pitiful act.

"Isn't that your driver?" Yu Wei gestured for him to look behind. The middle-aged man not far from them was the driver who had picked them up last time when Shi Ciyan forcibly brought him back to the country.

Shi Ciyan looked away awkwardly, avoiding eye contact as he reluctantly said goodbye, "Sorry, then bye, Brother Yuwei."

Yu Wei sighed helplessly. "Get in the car. I'll take you."

"Ah! Really?" Shi Ciyan was stunned, not expecting him to offer a ride home.

Last time he went to the Yu house, Yu Wei chased him away and didn't even let him attend An'an's birthday party, clearly trying to keep his distance.

This time, Yu Wei took the initiative to offer to take him home, which was really unusual.

"What are you staring at? If you're not getting in, move out of the way." Yu Wei got into the driver's seat and urged him on.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Yu Wei was taking him home; how could he refuse? He slipped in before Yu Wei locked the door, buckled his seatbelt and said, "All set."

The car slowly started, pulled out of the parking lot and merged into traffic.

Shi Ciyan stared at Yu Wei the entire time, refusing to look away.

Yu Wei felt uncomfortable under that gaze and regretted impulsively offering to drive him home.

He had a driver—he didn't need a ride from Yu Wei.

"If you keep staring, I'll leave you on the side of the road." During the ten-plus seconds he waited for the light to turn green, Yu Wei shot a glare at the passenger seat and said, "Look forward."

His threat didn't work. Shi Ciyan rested his chin on his hand and stared intently at his profile. "Brother Yuwei, you've changed."

Yu Wei looked puzzled. "How have I changed?"

"Your attitude towards me," Shi Ciyan said. "Last time you told me not to appear in front of you again."

Yet today he voluntarily took him home, even knowing his driver was there.

Yu Wei's hands gripping the steering wheel gradually tightened, and he said dismissively, his expression unnatural, "I had nothing better to do."

Shi Ciyan dragged out an "oh," clearly not believing him. But he didn't press further and kept looking at him the whole way.

Shi Ciyan's apartment was also near the school, close to Yu Song's apartment. Yu Wei dropped him off at his building, watched him get out, and hesitated.

Shi Ciyan patiently waited for him to speak. After half a minute, Yu Wei finally forced himself to say, "When you have time, go visit An'an. He misses you a lot."

Shi Ciyan's eyebrows slightly raised, and looking at Yu Wei's uneasy demeanor, he had a vague idea of the answer.

"Brother Yuwei, would you like to come to my place for some tea?" Shi Ciyan walked around to Yu Wei's side, opened the door for him, and invited him. "There's also a little cat at home, super cute. Would you like to pet it?"

Yu Wei's expression relaxed. "What breed of cat?"

"Devon Rex, a beautiful and clingy little cat, but a tsundere—he wants to be clingy but his pride makes him wait for me." Shi Ciyan looked down at him with interest, his voice low and seductive. "Brother Yuwei, want to go see it?"

"Alright, let's go see the cat."

Yu Wei reluctantly got out of the car and followed Shi Ciyan upstairs. In the elevator, Shi Ciyan's gaze occasionally fell on him, burning with intensity.

Yu Wei looked straight ahead, forcing himself to ignore him.

When they reached the floor, the two walked out of the elevator one after another. Shi Ciyan led him to the door, opened it, and let him enter first.

Yu Wei walked in, stood in the doorway, and glanced at the living room. The living room was very tidy, as if no one lived there.

There was no sign of the so-called Devon Rex cat either.

"Where's the cat?"

Yu Wei heard the door close and turned back to ask, "I don't see the cat... mm—"

As soon as Yu Wei turned around, Shi Ciyan leaned in, one arm hooking his waist and the other pressing the back of his head, his lips pressing against Yu Wei's again and again.

Yu Wei struggled instinctively, whimpers escaping his lips.

Shi Ciyan pulled back slightly, his eyes darkened with lust. "Brother Yuwei, I just finished my rut period. I can't resist temptation."

Yu Wei blushed and glared at him. "Who tempted you?"

"You yourself are the greatest temptation to me." Shi Ciyan kissed the corner of his mouth again and again. "When you came up with me, you should have thought of this."

"I came to see the cat." Yu Wei pushed against his chest. "Where's the cat? Did you lie to me?"

You can see the cat later, now let me kiss you, okay?

"No..."

Shi Ciyan phrased it as a question, but he didn't give him any choice at all.

He had gotten through his rut with suppressants, and the pent-up desires had no outlet, nearly driving him crazy.

Today, Yu Wei not only drove him home but also went upstairs with him, undoubtedly walking right into the tiger's den.

Yu Wei struggled a couple of times at first, putting on an act of wanting to refuse but actually consenting.

He really was a tsundere kitten, too proud to show it, needing to be "forced."

After it was over, Shi Ciyan carried him out of the bathroom after their bath and changed him into a set of clothes.

Yu Wei pouted, his body tinged with pink like a peach that made your mouth water. "You bastard, I told you no."

His eyes, washed by tears, were bright and captivating. Even his glare seemed like flirting, reigniting the fire that had barely been quenched.

Shi Ciyan coughed lightly. "Don't look at me like that."

Yu Wei glanced downward, his expression stiffening. "You animal."

"I told you not to look at me like that."

Shi Ciyan buttoned up his clothes, covering all the enticing sights, afraid that if he saw them again, he would lose control and truly become a beast.

"Handle it yourself. I'm hungry, I need to eat."

Shi Ciyan leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth and ruffled his messy hair. "Then rest for a while, I'll cook for you. You barely ate lunch today."

Yu Wei awkwardly dodged. "Go on, I'm starving."

Shi Ciyan smiled, stood up, and left the bedroom. A few minutes later, he came back in.

This time, he wasn't empty-handed. He was holding a small kitten in his hands—a black-and-white Devon Rex. The tiny cat lay obediently in his palm, its big eyes gazing curiously at the person on the bed.

Yu Wei immediately sat up, staring intently at the kitten in disbelief. "You really have a cat?"

"I wouldn't lie to Brother Yu Wei."

This cat was seen on An'an's last birthday when they passed a pet shop on their way out of the Yu house. At that time, the kitten was lying in a small display case, looking out at the main road, its big eyes full of curiosity, well-behaved and adorable.

At that moment, his heart warmed, and he asked the driver to stop, going into the shop to take a look at the kitten.

The kitten was exceptionally clingy, not noisy or fussy, just using its big eyes to win hearts.

Shi Ciyan inexplicably thought of Yu Wei and bought it. When he got home, he found it was really clingy—as soon as he sat down, the cat would climb onto him and eventually find a comfortable spot to lie down.

Shi Ciyan smiled at him. "Do you like it?"

"I like it. It even has little curls—so beautiful."

Yu Wei carefully took the kitten, gently stroked its head, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, the kitten rubbed against his palm on its own.

"Pet him—he seems to like you a lot too."

Shi Ciyan stood by the bed, watching the man and the cat, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yu Wei's mouth kept turning up; he was clearly enjoying petting the cat. He looked up and met Shi Ciyan's gaze, slightly stunned. "I didn't expect you to keep a kitten."

Shi Ciyan countered, "Is it strange for me to keep a kitten?"

"You've imprisoned me twice before—you don't seem like a caring, gentle person," Yu Wei complained. "You need to change your habit of arbitrarily imprisoning people and restricting their freedom. You're just like a main villain in a book."

Yu Wei had only said it casually, but when he saw the text slowly appearing above his head, his body froze.

Pink text: "Important character."

Yu Wei's pupils constricted sharply.

A villain?

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me with such shock?" Shi Ciyan sat down and stroked his cheek. "Where am I not gentle? Wasn't I gentle with you just now?"

Yu Wei couldn't hear what he was saying at all now, staring blankly at the top of his head for a long time without snapping out of it.

Shi Ciyan... is a villain?

The pink text kept hinting at him—he had guessed right.

Shi Ciyan is a villain.

That pervert who imprisoned the shou protagonist and tortured him beyond recognition.

In the end, the shou protagonist was rescued by the gong protagonist, and their relationship advanced rapidly.

No wonder they said Shi Ciyan was an important character.

If he didn't imprison the shou protagonist, it would be hard to push forward the relationship between the top and bottom.

So, what's the situation now?

"Shi Ciyan, you... you..."

Yu Wei gradually came back to his senses. Looking at the boy in front of him whose eyes were full of concern, he trembled slightly.

"Brother Yu Wei, what's wrong?" Shi Ciyan frowned, pulled him into his arms, and gently stroked his hair. "You seem very nervous?"

The man in his arms had a pale face and was trembling uncontrollably.

"Just tell me what you want, don't act like this." Worried something might be wrong with him, Shi Ciyan pulled out his phone, considering whether to call a doctor.

"Shi Ciyan, are you a pervert?"

Hearing that he could speak, Shi Ciyan felt relieved and put away his phone. "...Brother Yu Wei, why do you say that?"

"I don't know." Yu Wei stared straight at him and shook his head. "Then, are you going to imprison Jiang Ruoyun?"

"..."

"Brother Yu Wei, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Ciyan explained helplessly. "Why would I waste time on imprisoning him? It's better to spend a passionate moment with you."

As if not believing, Yu Wei sat up in his arms. "Really?"

"Of course. Besides you and An'an, no one is worth my time."

"Shi Ciyan, do you really like me?" Yu Wei asked him seriously. "If you genuinely like me, then I'll allow you to pursue me. But on the condition that you don't talk to Jiang Ruoyun and Lin Yuchi."

Author's note: There are two kittens. It's so hard to guess who the other kitten is~
