How To Survive as a Villain

Chapter 160: Delivering A Letter? Arrange It.

Xiao YuAn made a few sounds, and Zhang Changsong half-guessed what he meant: “Are you trying to ask why you can’t talk?”

Xiao YuAn nodded his head.

Zhang Changsong replied: “You have internal injuries. Your qi is disorganized and is pressing against your throat. Since your chest and lungs are wounded, if you try to speak, your chest will tighten, and you will be short of breath; which will make you cough, and even breathing would bring you pain. I have prescribed medicine for you. This medicine will make you temporarily unable to speak, but you don’t have to worry. After some time, when your body has slightly recovered, you won’t need to keep taking this medicine, and you’ll be able to speak normally again.”

Xiao YuAn suddenly realized something as his eyes fell on Xie Chungui, who was playing on the side, and made some sounds at Yang LiuAn and Xiao Fengyue.

Yang LiuAn rubbed the back of his head, unable to understand what Xiao YuAn wanted. But since Xiao Fengyue was more perceptive than him, he immediately understood what Xiao YuAn was trying to ask them: “Young Master, do you want to ask about Chungui? And why is he sometimes depressed, and sometimes acting like a child? Originally, LiuAn and I took Chungui to the Western Shu Kingdom to look for a miracle physician. That miracle physician said that Chungui’s obsession and resentment was too deep, and that if he were to recover consciousness, he might collapse. The miracle physician told us that we should let Chungui live the rest of his life as a child.”

Xiao Fengyue then sighed helplessly.

Xiao YuAn nodded his head, and looked back at Xie Chungui again.

The 20 year old young man was standing in front of the window, observing the afterglow coming from the window. The sunset looked like melting gold, and as the dust flew in front of the sunlight, the young man curiously reached out his hand, letting the golden glow fall on his palm. The glow was slightly hot and bright, making the young man giggle, just like an innocent child, extremely carefree.

Xiao YuAn’s eyes were bitter as he retracted his gaze, and sobbed something unintelligible to the crowd.

However, this time, no one could guess what he tried to say.

Xiao YuAn: “Mhnn, waaah, uhhu.”

Third Aunt: “What? Do you want to eat? But Physician Zhang said that you shouldn’t eat greasy food ah.”

Xiao YuAn shook his head: “Wawaa!!”

Lin Shenling said: “Is Xiao-gongzi thirsty?”

Xiao YuAn shook his head again.

Zhang Baizhu clasped his hands and said: “Why don’t we give him a pen and let him write?”

Zhang Changsong glared at him: “Look at his hands! If he writes, the wounds on his hands will tear open again. He’s not allowed to write!”

Xiao YuAn: “Wuwu!”

“Does your body hurt somewhere?”

“Does the bedding feel uncomfortable?”

“Is it too hot?”

“Are you feeling cold?”

“Neither? Ah, I can’t guess…”

Zhang Baizhu suddenly smashed his fist, and his tone was very certain: “I know!”

Everyone looked at him in unison.

Zhang Baizhu proudly said: “Xiao YuAn! He!”

Everyone: “He….”

Zhang Baizhu sank his qi into his Dantian¹ as he shouted word by word: “He! Must! Be! Having! One! Of! The! Three! Urgency²!”

Xiao YuAn: “….”

If it weren’t because Xiao YuAn’s body wouldn’t allow him to, he would’ve jumped up from the bed at this moment to choke Zhang Baizhu, shaking him back and forth.

‘Three urgency my ass!’

‘Who will send a letter to Yan HeQing for me? Letting him know that I’m not dead ah?!!!’

It wasn’t until the eleventh day that Xiao YuAn was able to speak. After he struggled to express what he wanted to say, Xiao Fengyue and Yang LiuAn looked at each other, both unable to speak for a while.

Yang LiuAn finally couldn’t help himself as he spoke: “Young Master, why do you…. why did you have to put yourself in such a situation, because of Yan HeQing? You used to be… why do you have to treat yourself like this?!”

Xiao YuAn: “What?!”

‘Imperial Bodyguard Yang! What kind of sadistic and deep love drama are you imagining right now?!’

Xiao Fengyue immediately sighed afterwards, however, he didn’t try to persuade him.

Xiao YuAn looked at the expression on their faces, and felt that the current version of himself in their eyes, should be close to the scum gong x cheap shou³ relationship in a “Cheap Shou” novel. In this scenario, even though his dignity was humiliated, he was still unable to let go of that scum gong. Unable to forget about him, even after years had passed, and in order to get in contact with him again, he had taken the place of Zhang Changsong as a military physician. Now, when he was finally saved from an incident, he was quickly trying to shamelessly send that scum gong a letter…

Xiao YuAn tried to explain: “Yan-ge is not what you think….”

Xiao Fengyue sighed, and Yang LiuAn knitted his eyebrows.

Xiao YuAn continued: “I’m quite happy with him… really….”

Xiao Fengyue’s face was unforgiving, so he lowered his head. Yang LiuAn, on the other hand, sighed and looked at the sky in grief.

Xiao YuAn: “….”

‘Can you two stop being like this?! Can you stop acting like you two are sad and angry?! So, in the end, my own words have become empty and unconvincing?!!’

‘If I don’t show him properly, you two would never know how capable my Yan-ge is!’

Footnotes

1. 丹田 dān tián; It’s not an acupuncture point. The Dantian is in front of the kidneys and behind the umbilicus, which is protected by the spine. The Dantian is where one’s qi resides.
2. 三急 sān jí; ‘People have three emergencies’ is a Chinese proverb. The so-called emergencies refer to “urgent need to pee”, “urgent need to poo”, “urgent need to fart”, meaning that sometimes one’s unable to hold these urges. These expressions can also vary.
3. The cheap shou (贱受 jiàn shòu) in a BL novel, is the type of shou (uke) that even if he’s physically and mentally abused by the scum gong (渣攻 zhā gōng) he won’t stop being with him. He will let the gong (seme) beat or scold him, and he will keep on chasing after the gong.
