Forced Love: The Villainous Female Supporting Character is Kissed and Cried by the Yandere Villain

Lu Jingci had read some time-travel novels before.

Because Xu Wuning and Su Wanyue both enjoyed reading books during junior high school, he would also read the books she liked in order to better understand Wuning.

In the dim light.

His dark eyes grew increasingly deep, darker than the endless night outside the window.

-

the next day.

Because Xu Wuning kept having inappropriate dreams last night, she didn't sleep well and took a nap in the morning, not waking up until noon.

Today is the weekend.

After getting up, she pressed her temples. No, she would have to find a master to exorcise the evil spirits.

After washing up, she stretched, went downstairs to have lunch, packed her schoolbag, and went out.

The four of them had arranged to go to the teahouse this afternoon to do their homework, so she had to hurry.

One afternoon.

No matter how much Su Wanyue and Xie Yu joked around.

Lu Jingci was focused on doing the questions and remained silent, occasionally glancing at Xu Wuning.

Xu Wuning touched her face. "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Lu Jingci shook his head. "No."

After a while, he stared at Xu Wuning again.

Xu Wuning felt inexplicably guilty.

Why do you keep staring at her? She hasn't done anything wrong.

She put down her pen, met his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong with you today? Are you in a bad mood?"

She smiled and ruffled his hair, handing him a piece of the tea and snack in front of her. "Don't be upset, cheer up. You can tell me if anything's wrong."

Lu Jingci accepted the tea and snacks, quickly concealing the darkness in his eyes, and forced a smile: "It's nothing."

His eyes flickered, and the smile on his lips deepened: "How about we all come to my house for dinner tonight? My grandfather isn't home, and Aunt Zhang is a very good cook."

Su Wanyue usually likes to visit other people's houses: "Okay, okay."

Xie Yu joined in the fun, saying, "I'll go too!"

Only Xu Wuning didn't respond immediately. She looked at the smile on Lu Jingci's lips and, for some reason, felt that this guy was acting strangely today, like he was holding back something.

If it were Lu Jingci in his twenties, she would suspect that he was trying to poison her food.

She had learned firsthand that the more gentle Lu Jingci's smile was at that age, the more ill-intentioned he was.

But he's still just a teenager, he seems so innocent, how could he have so many bad intentions? She's probably overthinking it.

Lu Jingci waited patiently for her answer.

Xu Wuning took a sip of tea and nodded. "Okay, let's go together then."

Lu Jingci smiled immediately, her eyes curving into shallow arcs, her face flushed: "Okay."

Looking at his blushing face, Xu Wuning became even more certain that she was overthinking things; he was still that innocent young man.

She should stop making wild guesses and try to trust him a little.

Su Wanyue had already jumped up and started packing her schoolbag, exclaiming, "Aunt Zhang's cooking is so delicious! Last time she made sweet and sour pork ribs, Lu Jingci brought some back for Ningning. I took a bite, and it was so fragrant!"

Xie Yu lazily chimed in from the side, "You remember food better than vocabulary words."

Su Wanyue placed her schoolbag on the table with a matter-of-fact air: "Of course, it's a major life event!"

"You call that a major life event?" Xie Yu raised an eyebrow, drawing out the last syllable. "I see your top three priorities are: first, eating; second, sleeping; and third, eating and then sleeping."

"You put..." Su Wanyue swallowed the last word.

She switched to a more civilized version, grinding her teeth: "I don't communicate with idiots; it lowers my IQ."

Xie Yu's eyes widened: "Who are you calling an idiot, Su Wanyue? Explain yourself."

The two started bickering again, and a chaotic scene broke out around the table.

Xu Wuning also laughed.

Only Lu Jingci sat there quietly, his eyes hidden in shadow beneath his eyelashes.

There are still several hours until dinner.

But he couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

……

It was evening at the villa.

After preparing the meal, Zhang Ma went upstairs to clean the rooms.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, looking and smelling delicious.

Su Wanyue's eyes widened, and she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed it into her mouth: "It still tastes the same, so fragrant and sweet, the meat melts in your mouth, it's so delicious..."

Xie Yu also ladled out a bowl of soup. "So delicious! This soup is amazing, ten levels better than what my cook makes. Zhang Ma's cooking skills are truly superb."

Seeing that the two of them were eating with relish, Xu Wuning also picked up her chopsticks and tried some.

She's been eating Zhang Ma's cooking for a long time, and it's really good.

When we were more than halfway through eating.

Lu Jingci put down his chopsticks, his eyes flashing.

He got up and walked to the wine cabinet in the corner of the living room, bent down and took out a bottle of dark wine.

He walked back to the table and gently placed the bottle on it.

With a rib still in her mouth, Su Wanyue asked indistinctly, "What is this? Is it wine?"

Lu Jingci sat down and said in a gentle tone, "This is a wine that my grandfather treasured."

"It seems to be a vintage wine that's been aged for over ten years. The alcohol content isn't too high, so you can give it a try."

Su Wanyue blinked, looked at the bottle of wine, then at Lu Jingci: "Won't we get drunk?"

Xu Wuning reached out and took the bottle, turned it around and looked at the alcohol content on the label, carefully examining it:

"The alcohol content is very low, it shouldn't make you drunk, you can give it a try."

Come to think of it, she hasn't tasted alcohol in a long time, since she traveled through various points in time until now. Although she has never been a good drinker, it's impossible for her to get drunk with such a low alcohol content.

Xie Yu's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the label on the bottle: "Wow, this is great wine! My dad has a bottle of this too, but he's always kept locked in the cabinet and won't let me touch it."

He rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation: "Let me taste what this tastes like?"

Lu Jingci smiled and picked up the wine bottle, filling everyone's glasses one by one.

Su Wanyue picked up her cup, took a sip, and smacked her lips. "Huh? It's not spicy, and it's even a little sweet?"

"This kind of wine, the longer it's aged, the smoother the taste becomes." Lu Jingci also took a small sip.

He looked at Xu Wuning with kindness and gentleness, and when he saw her drink it, his expression softened even more.

After two drinks, Su Wanyue slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Just drinking isn't fun. Let's play a drinking game. The loser drinks!"

Xie Yu was the first to respond: "Bring it on! I, Xie Yu, have never been afraid of anyone in a rock-paper-scissors game!"

Xu Wuning was pulled in by them and joined in. She hadn't originally planned to have too much fun, but then she remembered that she was about to leave this place, and this was one of the few times she had left to spend time with her childhood friends.

So she let loose and had fun.

Soon, the three of them, their faces flushed and necks red, started playing a drinking game, getting more and more excited.

Lu Jingci quietly stayed by his side, occasionally losing a couple of times and drinking a little, but he was lucky and didn't lose many times overall.

After several rounds of drinks...

The stars twinkled outside the window, and the night gradually deepened.

The dishes on the table were mostly cold.

Su Wanyue lay there dazed, mumbling, "Again... I want one more drink..."

"I'm not drunk... This liquor has such a low alcohol content, it's impossible to get drunk, everyone keep drinking..."

Before he could finish speaking, the person went silent.

Xie Yu wasn't much better off; his face was burning red, and he was slurring his words, "I can still drink, but my dad said... a man can't... can't say no..."

He didn't have the alcohol tolerance he would develop years later, and he was already too drunk to hold his liquor.

Xu Wuning sat on the other side, her cheeks flushed, her eyes gazing dreamily at the ceiling, humming a tuneless song softly.

At the entire dining table, only Lu Jingci remained seated upright.

His complexion was normal, his breathing was steady, and even his eyes were clear.

No one noticed that he had taken hangover pills before the meal started, and that he lost only a handful of times during the entire night's drinking game.

He chuckled softly as he saw the three drunk people in front of him.

He put down his wine glass and his gaze fell on another bottle of wine in the wine cabinet. It was the same brand, but the alcohol content was different; that bottle had a very high alcohol content.

He was switched ahead of schedule.

He called out towards the stairs, "Zhang Ma."

Zhang Ma quickly came downstairs and, seeing the three people slumped over the table, paused for a moment: "Young Master, what's this...?"

Lu Jingci stood up. "Help Xie Yu and Su Wanyue to their respective guest rooms to sleep."

He walked around to Xu Wuning's side, his voice calm, "I'll take care of Ningning."

Aunt Zhang looked at Xu Wuning, who was slumped over the table, and nodded hesitantly, "Okay."

She went over and helped Su Wanyue up, who kept humming "drink some more."

While coaxing her, Zhang Ma led her upstairs.

A few minutes later, she got down again and carried Xie Yu, who was leaning back in his chair and already snoring softly, away.

The restaurant fell silent.

Lu Jingci looked down at Xu Wuning.

The light shone down, casting half of his face in shadow and illuminating the other half brightly.

The boy's eyes no longer held any trace of their previous innocence, but instead became unfathomable.

To be precise, that's just his personality.

He stretched out two fingers and gently pinched Xu Wuning's face, which was as red as peach petals, and met her drunken eyes.

His voice was persuasive and manipulative, clearly trying to extract information from me:

"Ningning, how about we play Truth or Dare?"

"You lost. I have a question for you."

"From which year did you travel through time?"

"Is my other self good to you?"
