Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

As night fell, a magpie flapped its wings and flew away from the branch, leaving only a tree full of cicadas chirping leisurely.

Ren Baozhi and Si Jiangchou lay on the couch side by side, staring at each other.

If she didn't have questions to ask Si Jiangchou, she would never let Si Jiangchou occupy her half of the bed!

Asking without hesitation, Ren Baozhi was the first to break the silence: "Do you know what you said to me when you had a fever?"

Si Jiangchou lay on his side with his hands on his pillow: "Remember."

Wo Wo Tou's ears moved, and he grunted while holding the doghouse in his mouth. He quietly approached the head of the bed and began to eavesdrop.

Ren Baozhi folded her hands behind her head and looked towards the curtain: "I thought you wouldn't tell anyone those words. After all, this is not like your usual style."

Si Jiangchou smiled faintly: "People are not wood or stone, how can they have only one side?"

Ren Baozhi nodded: "That's right."

"Just think of this illness as an excuse for me to spill a few words about things I normally wouldn't dare to say. Some things, if buried in the heart for too long, will rot beyond recognition."

Ren Baozhi turned to look at her: "I see, I'm a note-taker."

Si Jiangchou laughed and asked, "Can you promise me one thing?"

Ren Baozhi asked, "What?"

"Can we not tell any third party about this conversation between you and me?"

"all?"

"all."

"Including the past and the future?"

"include."

"I reject."

"Why?"

"My intuition tells me that you are dangerous, and your secret is dangerous too. I don't like taking risks for others." Ren Baozhi raised her hand and touched Si Jiangchou's forehead. "It's still hot. Go to bed early. It's not good for a patient to stay up late."

Si Jiangchou held down her hand as she tried to leave, and used it to search his face: "You're really cautious."

Ren Baozhi quickly pulled back her hand: "No, sister, I really think there's something wrong with you, what do you think?"

Si Jiangchou looked at Ren Baozhi with his misty eyes: "Is there?"

"Yes, very much."

"Didn't you touch me this afternoon?"

"How can it be the same?" Ren Baozhi crossed her arms over her chest, not allowing Si Jiangchou to take advantage of her. "You were so sick this afternoon, and you still said those things and cried. I can't struggle anymore, right?"

"You hugged me."

Ren Baozhi tried hard to recall what she had done to Si Jiangchou this afternoon. Although she thought her actions were quite normal, the person on the other side obviously misunderstood something.

So she explained gently, "Sister, you were unconscious at that time, right? I couldn't leave you alone in the Qujiang Pond to get wet in the rain, could I? I wanted to carry you on my back, but you wouldn't give me a chance, right? What should I do? I can't drag you along, right?"

Si Jiangchou stared at Ren Baozhi motionlessly, his eyes filled with mist, making it impossible to see his inner emotions.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "Isn't hugging a very intimate gesture?"

Ren Baozhi thought for a moment and replied, "I guess so, but it also depends on the timing and the situation. For example, Yue'er and I hug each other every day, which is perfectly normal. For example, today, I hugged you, but it was just an action, without any emotion. Sometimes people's behavior is very simple, so don't overthink it."

After Ren Baozhi finished speaking, he observed Si Jiangchou's expression. Seeing that she was listening quite seriously, he felt relieved and asked, "Is there anything else that you misunderstood?"

Si Jiangchou frowned and said softly, "Don't you have any feelings for me?"

Ren Baozhi's eyes widened as she said in panic, "You misunderstood that I have feelings for you?!"

"There's none?"

Ren Baozhi really thought about it carefully. She really disliked this person at first. Both Si Jiangchou and the man in black left a bad first impression on her.

After being buried in the mound, he was still worried every day, fearing that the man in black would suddenly appear and kill him.

When did my impression of Si Jiangchou change?

Even she herself couldn't explain it clearly.

As soon as Ren Baozhi came out of her thoughts, she met Si Jiangchou's eyes, which were quietly waiting for her answer, so she said, "I only know that I don't object to continuing to get along with you at the moment."

The corners of Si Jiangchou's mouth slowly lifted, and the feverish blush on her face also lifted, spreading to the corners of her eyes. "I seem to understand what you mean."

"Go to sleep if you understand."

Ren Baozhi said while yawning. She glanced at the screen and saw that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Since she entered the book, she rarely stayed up so late.

Si Jiangchou moved slightly closer to Ren Baozhi: "You clearly haven't finished talking to me yet."

Ren Baozhi stuffed the pillow between them and said stiffly, "This is the 38th parallel. Don't get too close to me. It's so hot."

Si Jiangchou looked at the pillow between them and silently moved it a little further away: "Won't you tell me?"

Originally, Ren Baozhi did have something to say to her, but she was a little sleepy after chatting for a long time, so she wanted to wait until tomorrow.

However, since Si Jiangchou had already seen through it, she simply said, "I want to give you a plaque, do you want one?"

"Hang it in my residence?"

"Yes, hang a plaque. That way, people will call that courtyard by the name on the plaque. No one will call it 'Lady Si's House' anymore. What do you think?"

Si Jiangchou's smile was filled with warmth. "Very good, but what should we name it?"

"I did think of one for you, but I don't know if you like it."

"like."

"Hiss," Ren Baozhi got goose bumps all over his body, "I haven't told you what my name is yet?"

Si Jiangchou followed his instructions and asked, "What's your name?"

"Heli Pavilion."

Wo Wo Tou was eavesdropping happily, but when he heard the name, he started to protest: "Awooo wooo wooo!"

Why is her name Helige and mine Wowotou!

Ren Baozhi was embarrassed. She usually named people casually, such as "Nu Bao" and "Fu Ren Jia". She even almost called Mo Yun "Xiao Hei"...

But those are for use on oneself, how can this one to be given to others be the same?

Ren Baozhi comforted Wo Wo Tou and said, "The good names your mommy picked are all for giving as gifts. A name like yours is mommy's favorite."

Wo Wo Tou was instantly happy. He howled twice and then lay down in his own doghouse to continue eavesdropping.

When Ren Baozhi saw that Wo Wo Tou had been comforted by her, she said to Si Jiangchou, "The meaning of this name is..."

Si Jiangchou continued: "The crane's cry shakes the sky where the clouds split, and it breaks free from its cage and laughs in the high pavilion."

Ren Baozhi silently swallowed back the half sentence that was yet to be uttered: "The big crane will eventually leave the high pavilion."

She blinked and praised, "You are good at reading comprehension. I give you full marks."
