The Villain Loves Me Very Much

TL: Moonlit

Yin Shao furrowed his brows and took a deep breath, then released Bai Yu.

He knew very well that he couldn’t indulge himself any longer.

In this world, the relationship between humans and demons was already against the natural order. And he was a demon hunter, after all. How could he become infatuated with a demon like this?

All the principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor that he learned since childhood, along with the duty to subdue demons and vanquish evil, told him just how wrong his actions were!

If his master were to find out about this, he would surely be greatly disappointed.

Yin Shao wanted to let go of Bai Yu. He didn’t want to continue down this wrong path.

There were still three days left…

Once those three days were over, he had to take the crimson fruit and leave immediately.

However, Bai Yu didn’t know what he was thinking. Instead, at this moment, he reached out and embraced Yin Shao’s waist, bringing his mouth closer.

Their lips and teeth leaned against each other, gradually grinding together.

“Husband…”

While kissing Yin Shao, Bai Yu whispered softly.

His voice was gentle and adorable, sounding like honey, entwining around Yin Shao’s heart.

Yin Shao froze in an instant.

He felt as if he had been petrified.

A strange sensation arose from his heart, instantly spreading throughout his body.

His heart pounded incessantly, making his chest feel like it was about to burst.

He couldn’t control the excitement that emerged from the depths of his soul.

That elated, joyful feeling.

It made him feel as if even his heart would leap out of his body!

The string of rationality was on the verge of snapping.

Although he had resisted being addressed like this before, hearing it from Bai Yu’s mouth had an overwhelming impact on him!

It felt as if the two of them were truly a married couple.

Since the moment he heard those words, his mind had been buzzing.

Yin Shao’s low and somewhat hoarse voice rang out.

“What did you call me?”

Blushing, Bai Yu raised his gaze to look at him, his butterfly-like eyelashes slightly curled.

Bai Yu’s appearance seemed somewhat shy, as if his lips were moving, he whispered softly, “Husband.”

The string that had been tightly stretched finally snapped!

Yin Shao suddenly lowered his head and embraced Bai Yu tightly.

One hand held Bai Yu’s waist, while the other held his head, passionately kissing him.

He wished he could merge Bai Yu into his own flesh and blood!

The indescribable excitement in his heart, he didn’t know how to put it into words.

This kiss was dominant and domineering, almost overwhelming…

Bai Yu didn’t expect him to act like this at all. Even the candied hawthorn in his hand fell, covered in countless specks of dirt.

Bai Yu looked down at the ground and exclaimed, “My candied hawthorn…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Yin Shao sealed his lips again, even using his hand to cup Bai Yu’s face, forcing him to look at him.

“No distractions allowed!”

The kiss became even more intense.

His tongue easily pried open Bai Yu’s teeth, gliding through every corner of his mouth, forcing them to intertwine.

Bai Yu felt like his breath was being taken away by Yin Shao.

They didn’t know how long they kissed before finally stopping.

Bai Yu was panting heavily, his breathing becoming rapid.

[Ding, target character’s favorability +10, current favorability 75%]

While still catching his breath, Bai Yu nodded.

In this short month, he had managed to increase Yin Shao’s initial favorability from -150% to 75%. This qualitative leap was truly not easy.

Bai Yu’s heart was pounding.

He lifted his gaze to the person in front of him, his eyes filled with affection.

He knew that this person would definitely fall in love with him…

They were so close to it now…

Even though time was running out.

But they could make it happen.

A sweet feeling flashed through Bai Yu’s heart.

They would be happy together from now on.

He really liked this person…

So, of course, he hoped that this person would also like him.

Just like in the previous worlds…

To be able to spend a lifetime together with him.

It would truly be a very happy thing…

Even if he was the only one with memories, it didn’t matter.

Because they would always be together…

However, all of these seemed unimportant at the moment.

What mattered most now was his candied hawthorn…

Bai Yu looked a bit regretful as he glanced at the ground.

This string of candied hawthorn was really sour, sweet, and delicious.

He had only eaten half of it…

And now it was gone.

Bai Yu felt a sense of regret in his heart.

And all of this was caused by the big blockhead in front of him!

Ever since he became a rabbit demon, he couldn’t indulge in meat. So in this world, he particularly liked eating things like this.

Bai Yu looked at Yin Shao with a bit of annoyance and unhappiness, saying, “You owe me for my candied hawthorn!”

Yin Shao looked at Bai Yu, who looked incredibly adorable, and felt like his heart was melting…

Why were there such adorable people in this world…

They were truly cute.

So likable.

Yin Shao wrapped his arms around Bai Yu’s waist and rested his forehead against Bai Yu’s head.

He smiled and said, “I’ll buy you some more, okay?”

“Okay!”

Bai Yu looked exceptionally excited.

He pulled Yin Shao and ran back to the market they were just at.

Unfortunately, by the time Bai Yu got there, the last string of candied hawthorn had been bought by someone else.

Bai Yu’s face was filled with disappointment.

This whole market only had one vendor selling candied hawthorn. And now they were gone…

It was heartbreaking, making him want to cry.

Yin Shao looked at him in this state, feeling both amused and helpless.

He wrapped his arms around Bai Yu’s waist and brought his mouth close to Bai Yu’s ear, whispering softly, “I’ll buy it for you next time, okay?”

Bai Yu sighed helplessly. Although filled with regret, there was nothing he could do now.

“Then you owe me two strings, no, three strings!”

Yin Shao couldn’t help but laugh.

He pinched Bai Yu’s small nose with his hand. “Alright. I’ll buy them all for you next time.”

Bai Yu smiled sweetly, his eyebrows and eyes already curved.

“The next time the market opens, it will be the Lunar New Year. Will you come with me then?”

The Lunar New Year…

Yin Shao was stunned.

There was still a month until the Lunar New Year.

But their agreement was about to expire in three days.

How could they make it to the Lunar New Year?

Yin Shao looked at Bai Yu’s sparkling eyes. He didn’t say anything to dampen his spirits. Instead, he said, “No need to wait for the Lunar New Year. I’ll buy them for you tomorrow.”

Yin Shao reached out his hand and ruffled Bai Yu’s hair.

Even though he couldn’t accompany the person in front of him for that long.

But at least before leaving, let’s do everything we can.

The sky had long turned dark.

A crowd had gathered by the nearby riverbank.

The river sparkled with scattered lights.

During the night, everyone released floating lanterns.

Many people closed their eyes and made wishes while releasing the lanterns.

Originally, these were things that girls enjoyed playing with, and Yin Shao had never released lanterns before.

But now, to divert Bai Yu’s attention, he pulled him over there.

“Let’s go release lanterns, okay?”

“Okay!”

Bai Yu was full of interest in everything around him.

Today was truly the happiest day he had experienced in this world.

The market was lively, with delicious food and fun activities.

And, of course…

The person he liked the most was standing by his side…

—

Night fell, and the lanterns were lit up.

There were numerous lotus-shaped lanterns on the glistening lake.

Many men and women stood by the river, their hands clasped together, making wishes for the coming year.

Bai Yu stood there, holding a lantern in his hand, feeling excited.

He had his back turned to Yin Shao and was writing a small note with a pen.

He imitated everyone else, writing their wishes for the future on the paper.

This paper would be placed inside the lantern.

And these wishes would float along with the lanterns on the river until the end…

Bai Yu wrote diligently, making sure not to let Yin Shao see.

Meanwhile, Yin Shao seemed absent-minded.

He would soon return to his sect.

Everyone in the sect must be waiting for his return.

When he was on his adventures outside, he always looked forward to this day, the day he would see his fellow disciples and his master…

His junior disciple would always be so happy to see him.

However, when he thought about going back now…

Yin Shao felt no trace of happiness in his heart. Instead, he felt lost.

His mind was filled with the image of Bai Yu’s smiling face.

He didn’t know what was happening to him. Was this some kind of enchantment that the rabbit demon had cast?

Otherwise, how could he become so strange?

But just then, he suddenly heard Bai Yu say, “I’m done.”

Bai Yu carefully placed the note he wrote inside the lotus lantern.

Then he put the lantern in the water, clasping his hands together and making a wish like everyone else.

Yin Shao looked at him curiously.

“What did you write?”

Bai Yu said mysteriously, “I won’t tell you. If I tell you, it won’t come true.”

Yin Shao smiled and shook his head, not asking further.

Instead, he kept his eyes fixed on Bai Yu’s lantern.

The lotus lantern slowly floated along with the water. It got caught in the reeds nearby.

Bai Yu felt a bit frustrated.

“Why is my lantern stuck?”

Yin Shao looked at his disappointed expression and said, “Let me help you bring it over and put it back properly, okay?”

With a single leap, he jumped in that direction. He reached down with his finger, and the lotus lantern landed securely in his hand.

Bai Yu’s excitement was indescribable.

Yin Shao helped him place the lotus lantern back in the water.

A gentle breeze blew, slowly carrying the lotus lantern away.

Bai Yu’s eyes stayed fixed on the lantern, a smile on his face.

However, he didn’t notice that when Yin Shao had taken the lotus lantern, out of curiosity, he had also taken the note Bai Yu had written.

Yin Shao furrowed his brow and secretly opened the note.

As he stared at the words written on it, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a hand, causing intense pain.

Even his breath seemed to stop.

Yin Shao slowly closed his eyes, his teeth clenched, and his fingers turned into fists.

All because the note said, “I hope we can be together forever…”
