Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

"Xie Xingchen, I'm leaving now. Thank you for taking me in these few days. Take care! Si Keliu."

Xie Xingchen was stunned. He had never expected Si Ke to leave like this. Thinking about Si Ke's meticulous care over the past few days and his attitude, his heart suddenly felt empty.

Although he was a member of the Xie family, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what condition he was in the hospital, his parents only came to visit, and the nurses always took care of him. Later, he got into fights and went to the hospital more frequently, and his parents were so lazy that they didn't even bother to visit.

He was actually delighted, even greedy, with Si Ke's protection these days. He loved the feeling of being accompanied and valued. However, he was afraid of delaying her studies, so he kept urging her to leave, even giving her the cold shoulder.

So, she was angry and wanted to break off relations with him? But where could she go? Wasn't she homeless?

……

Of course, Si Ke wasn't homeless. Besides the assets seized by the Xu family, the original owner's parents had actually left her three houses. Because these were real estate, and she was still young and couldn't handle the inheritance procedures, she kept them until now and wasn't defrauded by the Xu family.

This apartment, located in the city center, was the smallest of the three, with three bedrooms and a living room. Si Ke lived alone, and a house that was too big would make her feel lonely, and cleaning would be extremely troublesome, so she chose this one.

The house had been uninhabited for nearly ten years and it was quite troublesome to clean up, so she contacted a housekeeping company directly.

Fortunately, when she first entered the Xu family, she saved all the pocket money given to her by the Xu family, so she was not completely penniless, and there was no problem for her to live alone and become independent.

As for the other two houses, when she turns 18, she will go through the relevant procedures and then sell them as start-up capital to deal with the Xu family.

"Host, are you planning to abandon Xie Xingchen completely?" Lao Liu was speechless after watching Si Ke's outrageous actions in the past few days.

"Oh! Sixth Brother, do you know? I used to be the most favored spirit pet in heaven and on earth, and I've never been treated like this. Xie Xingchen is capable, and if he wants to handle it himself, then let him handle it. Why should I bother to stick my face to his cold butt? Am I a jerk?"

"What about the mission? You have to support each other and accomplish each other."

"You just keep an eye on him, and we can just help him secretly. We don't have to get close to him." Si Ke rolled his eyes and continued to sit on the sofa playing with his phone.

"So, you're treating me as a humanoid surveillance camera?"

"are you human?"

Lao Liu was completely devastated. He didn't want to pay any attention to this dog host anymore. It was too hurtful.

However, just two seconds after Lao Liu was silent, Si Ke's phone rang.

Thanks, Xingchen! Oh, you finally called!

After a few seconds of pause, Si Ke finally picked up the phone. "Hello!"

"Where are you?" The voice on the other end was a little hoarse and anxious.

"at home!"

"Exactly where? I'll come pick you up."

"No need. It's late and I have to go to school tomorrow, so that's all." Si Ke hung up the phone decisively, with no intention of chatting any more.

Then the phone rang again. This time Si Ke didn't answer it. Instead, he took his clothes and went to take a shower...

……

The next day, as Si Ke walked to the school gate, she saw the tall figure running towards her with breakfast.

"Sike, let's talk."

Si Ke was sitting at a stone table in the school grove, nibbling at the breakfast she had bought. Seeing the concerned gaze from the opposite side, she asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Xie Xingchen shook his head. Seeing that the girl opposite him had finally finished eating, he spoke: "Why did you move out? I was in a bad mood those days and made you angry. I told you..."

Before he could even finish his apology, Si Ke said, "Don't you like quiet?"

Remembering how he had called her noisy in the ward, Xie Xingchen suddenly choked. After a while, he said, "I just want you to go back to school as soon as possible and not delay your studies."

"Yeah." Si Ke nodded, showing his understanding, but he said nothing more.

Xie Xingchen was a little panicked. Si Ke's eyes now revealed a nonchalant look he had never seen before. "Didn't you say you were afraid those people would come after you? You've only been away for a few days, aren't you afraid anymore?"

"I'm scared! But if you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect me?" Si Ke replied righteously.

"I... that is..."

"Xie Xingchen, after all, we've lived together for so many days, we can be considered friends, right? You come back injured every few days, and as a friend, I'm worried and scared, okay? I don't know what you're guarding against me for, or what you're afraid of me knowing? Or maybe you think this is the best way to protect me. Well, I'm telling you clearly now, I don't need it. Okay, that's all I have to say, I'm going back to class."

Si Ke didn't bother to look at Xie Xingchen's expression. She stood up, put on her backpack, and walked out. After taking just two steps, she continued, "Before, you didn't want to take me in because you were afraid I'd get into trouble if I became involved with you. Now, you've finally gotten what you wanted. From now on, I won't bother you anymore!"

This time Si really left without even looking back.

"Host, why did you say that last sentence? You really played hard to get this time! Look, he's still standing there, with no intention of catching up at all." Lao Liu, who hadn't spoken all night, finally jumped out, extremely anxious.

"Sixth Brother, this is not called playing hard to get, this is called removing the fuel from under the cauldron. Learn the idiom well before you talk to me." Si Ke curled his lips and complained.

She knew she'd gone too far with that last sentence; after all, Xie Xingchen was doing it for her own good. But if she didn't push him, he'd always be blind to his own flaws. She wasn't the kind of woman who needed protection, was she? A woman like that couldn't avenge her, or bring down the Xu family.

What she wanted was for Xie Xingchen to truly open his heart to accept her, work together with her, and achieve together.

……

At noon, Si Ke went to the first floor of the cafeteria as usual, got his meal and sat in a corner. However, a few moments later, Xie Xingchen came over with a tray. This was probably his first time eating in a crowded place like the first floor!

Si Ke didn't care about all this, so he stopped eating, packed up and left.

"Don't be angry, I'll tell you everything you want to know." Xie Xingchen grabbed her wrist. This was the first time they had real physical contact.

Looking at his handsome, lawless face, now full of flattery, Si Ke wanted to laugh. Very good, he figured it out so quickly.

How could it not be fast? He had been thinking about this question all morning. Seeing Si Ke's resolute look, Xie Xingchen knew that he had lost! He had become accustomed to having her around these days. Even if they lived under the same roof and did nothing, as long as she was by his side, it was a kind of satisfaction.

"But let me make this clear first. You'll move back when I tell you to." Xie Xingchen was very insistent on this point. He couldn't feel at ease leaving her alone outside.

"Okay!" Si Ke sat down and began to listen to his story.
