Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 124: Heartless Ke Ruan

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

It would be fine if he died, since he wouldn’t be able to feel any pain when he was given a quick death. However, being tortured was really painful. Ke Ruan was afraid of pain the most. He didn’t want to suffer from it, so he could only endure it and stay awake.

Therefore, Lin Qingye, who felt energetic after a whole night’s sound sleep, was a little surprised when he saw Ke Ruan’s dark eye circles.

They had been locked in the cell for three days, and Ke Ruan was eating well and sleeping soundly these days. What happened last night?

In fact, the way Ke Ruan looked at him was really strange.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

It was strange to be able to sleep well.

Ke Ruan chuckled. “Nothing. I just noticed that General Lin hasn’t slept well for the past few days and you finally fell asleep last night, so I kept watching at night.”

Lin Qingye looked at him deeply and nodded with his heart aching, thinking that he was useless and couldn’t protect Ke Ruan.

If Qi Cheng knew that what Ke Ruan had just said made Brother Qingye have even deeper feelings for him, he would definitely not show any mercy to shut his mouth.

In the imperial study, the faint fragrance of the yulan magnolia was emitted. Accompanied by the fragrance of dragon saliva in the incense burner, it wasn’t incongruent at all.

He remembered this scent. A long time ago, he couldn’t remember how many days and nights it had been, he had smelled such a scent on Ke Ruan. When Ke Ruan hugged him, it gladdened his heart and refreshed his mind, which made him temporarily calm.

Qi Cheng appeared behind him.

Si Yuhan was playing with the discolored sword fringes, “Did you go to see Lin Qingye?”

“Yes!”

His hand holding the sword paused with his eyes darkening. “How is he doing?”

“Very good. He sleeps well and eats well.” Qi Cheng said.

Si Yuhan sneered, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes. He knew that Ke Ruan was born like this. No matter what he encountered, he was always so heartless.

Especially to him, when he was wholeheartedly trying to kill Lin Qingye, Ke Ruan tried his best to please him and could even give up his life for Lin Qingye. Si Yuhan finally let go of Ke Ruan and was willing to accept him and was willing to stay by his side to seek that little bit of warmth, but in the end, Ke Ruan just dumped him, twice.

How ruthless.

This was even more painful than killing him.

This was how people lived. If they had always been living in pain, it was okay for them to be living in this way, but once they had tasted the sweetness, people would never be able to endure the pain anymore. This kind of suffering would be 100 times or a thousand times more painful than the former situation.

So, Ke Ruan was such a ruthless person. How could Ke Ruan treat him like this? He didn’t feel guilty at all. He was living so well. Why did Si Yuhan himself suffer from the pain alone?

“Since he finds it comfortable staying there, make it a little harsh for him.” Si Yuhan sneered. “Pass my order. Reduce his meal from two meals a day to one meal in case that he would have time to meddle in other people’s business.”

Qi Cheng’s body trembled. How could he forget the emperor’s tricks? Everything that happened last night must be under his control, so Qi Cheng quickly knelt down.

“Your Majesty, I…”

“You can leave now. You’ve done well this time.” Si Yuhan had long been unhappy with Lin Qingye. Ke Ruan was Si Yuhan’s possession and no one could covet him.

He knew that Qi Cheng wouldn’t kill Ke Ruan, but he was just angry. Si Yuhan used to think that Ke Ruan was only good to him and that even if Ke Ruan needed to sacrifice his life just for him, he wouldn’t hesitate. However, Ke Ruan treated Lin Qingye the same way, so he would save Lin Qingye by risking his own life. Si Yuhan was jealous and had a grudge against Lin Qingye.
