I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

“Well, now you have.” Ye Yong cradled Liang Xiaorou, bringing her to Qin Shimeng’s side. Every visible inch of Liang Xiaorou’s skin was flushed, the heat most pronounced in her cheeks. In a warning tone, she said, “Shimeng, whatever so-called reward this guy offers, you must not accept.”

“Oh? Should I then place the reward upon you?” Ye Yong grinned at the little loli.

“That’s not what I meant!”

“Then what do you mean?”

“Hmph, who knows what outrageous things you might do to Shimeng? I just don’t want her to be harmed.”

“And if you were harmed, that would be fine?”

“If you dare to do anything to me, I’ll bite you to death!”

Tsk tsk, she speaks as if it were true.

Ye Yong turned to Qin Shimeng: “Let’s postpone your reward for later.”

“Mm…” Qin Shimeng lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of embarrassment coloring her cheeks.

“Wait, Shimeng, do you even know what kind of reward he’s offering? How outrageous it is?” Liang Xiaorou was baffled. If she had known earlier, she absolutely, definitely, perhaps, might not have used the faux Qiongqi for training.

“I know…”

Liang Xiaorou was momentarily speechless. So the fool was her own self? Everyone knew, and she was the last to find out, right?

—In the living room;

“I have hands and feet of my own, I don’t need you to feed me.” Liang Xiaorou tossed her head like a rebellious child, rejecting Ye Yong’s offer.

“Then let me have some.” The little fox, Hua Ningyan, perched on Ye Yong’s shoulder, opened her small mouth wide, revealing sharp, white fangs, eagerly awaiting the food to be brought to her lips.

“Not allowed, your reward time has already passed.” Ye Yong’s words were directed at Wu Xue, who stood nearby, her eyes nearly ablaze with fury at the sight of the little fox. If he dared to feed it, Wu Xue would surely erupt.

“Oh…” Hua Ningyan was allowed to rest on Ye Yong’s shoulder only with Liang Xiaorou’s consent.

—

Wu Xue wouldn’t pretend to be cute like that, intentionally seeking others’ approval.

Ye Yong had refused Hua Ningyan, and not only did Wu Xue feel relieved, but also Liang Xiaorou was quite happy. Who would want to share when they could have it all to themselves? But being proud and stubborn, she had to maintain her image, so she agreed to the little fox’s request. After all, if she didn’t agree, it would seem like she was eager to be alone with Ye Yong.

Of course, she didn’t think the little fox had any ulterior motives, simply assuming it wanted to stick close to its master. Just like that wild wolf, squatting on the ground, whining and expressing its discontent, Liang Xiaorou remembered its name was Xia Shiqi, a rather human-like and feminine name.

In her eyes, it was normal for a spirit pet to want to be close to its master.

Lost in thought, she was fed a mouthful of spirit food by Ye Yong without even realizing it. Liang Xiaorou chewed and chewed, then suddenly came to, looking up to glare at Ye Yong.

This guy must think it’s fun to tease me, so don’t blame me if I…

Once she had convinced herself, Liang Xiaorou felt justified in accepting the feeding, even complaining that Ye Yong’s pace was too slow, eating this and that, and making more demands.

Sitting across from them, Qin Shideng didn’t feel envious, because she would have the same treatment later. However, looking at Liang Xiaorou now, imagining herself in that position, Qin Shideng couldn’t help but blush. Being alone with Ye Yong was one thing, but doing such intimate actions in front of everyone…

After breakfast, Qin Shideng said she had gained some insight during their battle and needed to use the meditation room, clearly intending to give Liang Xiaorou and Ye Yong some private space.

“Wait for me, Miss!” Xiao Huan hurried to catch up.

Wu Xue’s gaze intentionally lingered on Liang Xiaorou’s chest, proudly puffing out her own chest, and said she was going to practice too.

Hua Ningyan saw the situation and didn’t continue to stay, having a good sense of timing. She soon slipped into her room. The living room was left with only Ye Yong and Liang Xiaorou, along with Xia Shiqi’s incessant whining.

If ignoring Xia Shiqi was an art, Ye Yong had mastered it. Seeing the female leads being so understanding, he naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

“Xiaorou, do you prefer your current appearance or your celestial body?” Ye Yong stretched out his finger, touching her pink earlobe, and then ran it along her snowy neck.

Liang Xiaorou shrank her shoulders, and just that small movement made her feel her whole body heat up, her voice tight and strained: “If it were before, I would be annoyed if people said I was short and couldn’t grow taller. But now I won’t have that problem. As for which one I like, they’re both me, so why distinguish between them?”

“I think the same way,” Ye Yong said, pinching her slightly chubby face. He could feel her temperature rising, her breathing frequency increasing.

“Don’t touch me!” Liang Xiaorou pushed Ye Yong’s hand away.

“How about I use my mouth?” Ye Yong lowered his head, lightly biting her flushed ear.

Liang Xiaorou’s whole body stiffened, her eyes wide open, her breathing stopped. After a while, she turned around, intending to scold Ye Yong, but her mouth was covered.

“Mmm!” Liang

叶永 stroked her hair and, after a long while, softly asked, “Shall we continue?”

“Hmph, dream on.” Liang Xiaorou buried her face into his chest, defending herself tightly, giving no chance at all.

So, Ye Yong began to tickle her waist, making her squirm and giggle, laughter echoing throughout the living room.

Xia Shiqi had long stopped calling out. It couldn’t understand why Ye Yong could play so joyfully with others but not with it, just because it wasn’t human? But that fox wasn’t human either.

With limited capacity for thought, Xia Shiqi decided to stop pondering; it simply shot a disdainful glance at Ye Yong, hoping to see him embarrassed until he was willing to play with it.

Yet no matter how hard it glared, Ye Yong seemed oblivious, his attention fully on Liang Xiaorou, her face flushed, pleading him to stop tickling.

Tired.
