I Became a Fanboy of the Villain

Word by word, as he finished reading, Bai Zhi’s hands abruptly tightened.

He took a deep breath, instantly knelt down, and flipped open the other letters.

Without exception, they were all letters written by Gesius to him. Bai Zhi flipped through them one by one and realized that the mailing dates actually all differed from each other.

The earliest letter was sent five days after the witch’s attack. After this, they became more and more frequent. What used to be one letter every three or four days gradually grew to become one letter every day.

Familiar handwriting filled page over page of stationary. Bai Zhi’s hands trembled slightly.

He pursed his lips soundlessly. It was as if his heart was being attacked, it hurt with waves and waves of pain. In that moment, Bai Zhi felt that what Gesius sent wasn’t letters, but knives.

Cruelly piercing his heart. Drawing fresh blood, corroding his bones, corroding his heart.

Yet when Bai Zhi managed to remove these knives with great effort, only then he dimly realized…that these wounds were called affection.

That Bai Zhi’s pain was called heartache.

The letters stopped being sent after Gesius recovered, probably because they weren’t necessary anymore.

Indeed they weren’t necessary. It was only because Gesius originally feared that Bai Zhi wouldn’t live well after he passed that he penned down everything word by word and sent them. Bai Zhi knew this very clearly in his heart.

If it weren’t for the accident today, these letters wouldn’t have been noticed at all by him, the recipient.

After coming home, Gesius definitely wouldn’t leave out these letters that would make him sad. Only when he was unable to bear his fragility anymore would Bai Zhi be able to glimpse it.

“Nephew.” The system also felt Bai Zhi’s mood. It clumsily materialized and patted him:

“Don’t feel bad, I’ll be with you to stuff the letters back together.”

Bai Zhi lifted his head: “Uncle…”

“Don’t talk anymore ah.” The system snapped its fingers, saying: “How could I not know you?”

“Stuff the letters back secretly, act as if you don’t know anything, that way Gesius won’t worry.” The system smiled: “Silly nephew, you two are both quite silly.”

“Hm.” Bai Zhi slowly opened the envelopes and put the letters back in again, his heart both moved and sour: “You’re the silly one.”

The system’s rebuttal immediately came. Bai Zhi blew his nose and didn’t say any more.

After all, some things…perhaps saying them out loud wasn’t the best way.

Gesius’s trip to the palace lasted an entire day. Bai Zhi strolled boredly around the house over and over. He was also taken by the old housekeeper to browse the amusing shops along the street. Only when he returned to the house did he see Gesius come back.

The First Knight who had been busy the whole day instantly gave Bai Zhi a huge embrace upon seeing him. His strength was so great that he practically buried Bai Zhi’s entire body inside his body. Bai Zhi, who had never been treated like this before, felt it was somewhat strange. Gesius’s voice sounded next to his ear:

“Foolish dragon, let’s get married.”

Bai Zhi froze, and then he heard that person speak again, his voice unable to hide his excitement:

“The king has already agreed, the princess is also very approving. I already bought the betrothal gift, and we have a house too.” He spoke slowly, word by word. His tone was full of earnestness.

Bai Zhi: “It’s ready, it’s ready! Put the ring on my finger now!”

Gesius thought his reaction was so funny he laughed. His heart indeed had an irrepressible warmth. He took a few steps forward and hooked Bai Zhi’s nose once, after which he smiled lightly:

“Who sells themselves this easily?”

“I do!” Bai Zhi instantly replied: “I don’t care whether you have other ornate ceremonies!”

“…But, I care.”

Gesius’s voice slowly sounded. Hearing this, Bai Zhi glanced up with surprise.

“My beloved…is the most precious person in this world.” Gesius said: “He must happily marry me under the captivating gaze of everyone, wearing the best wedding clothes, basking in the praise of the audience, looking exceptionally stunning.

“Only this…can be worthy of the unmatched him.”
