The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth : Chapter 93 - Love Each Other
Chapter 93: Love Each Other
Yang Wei stared at them in shock, her mind going completely blank for a moment. She even thought she was hallucinating.
Wasn't her son dating Ning Kehan? She remembered the girl as a sweet and well-mannered young lady. How—how did his partner suddenly change into the girl's older brother in the blink of an eye?!
This was like lifting the bridal veil on the wedding night, only to discover a man underneath!
Too terrifying!
Ning Yu gazed at the boy’s resolute profile, his eyes shining with unwavering seriousness. In that instant, a faint warmth seemed to wrap around Ning Yu’s heart, slowly dissolving his unease… This child might seem timid and slow-witted, but in reality, he was perceptive and sensitive. He was truly trying hard to put Ning Yu at ease.
Once he made a decision, he wouldn’t regret it easily.
Just like in that other world, where he had been so determined to return home. Beneath his seemingly fragile exterior lay a heart more resolute than anyone else's.
He wasn’t as weak as Ning Yu had imagined.
Ning Yu had underestimated him—he was far braver than expected and was willing to face everything alongside him.
It was Ning Yu himself who had lost his composure. For the first time, he was truly in love with someone, and because of his caution and insecurity, he had lost his usual carefree confidence.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Yu met Yang Wei’s gaze and said slowly, “I apologize for keeping this from you all this time.”
Yang Wei stared blankly at them, then at their intertwined hands. Without a word, she picked up the fallen trash, walked outside to throw it in the bin, and then turned straight back toward Ji Ling. Without even sparing Ning Yu a glance, she grabbed Ji Ling’s hand and marched upstairs.
Ji Ling was extremely nervous. He glanced back at Ning Yu, signaling him not to worry and that he would contact him later. Then he obediently followed his mother upstairs.
With a loud bang, Yang Wei shut the door behind them. She then turned a cold stare on Ji Ling. After a brief silence, she grabbed a slipper from the floor and prepared to smack him!
Ji Xuesong was leisurely eating fruit while watching TV on the sofa. Who could have expected that his wife would go downstairs to throw out the trash and come back furious, immediately chasing their son around with a slipper? Shocked, he dropped his melon and quickly jumped up to intervene, pulling Ji Ling behind him. He gave his wife a placating smile. “What happened? Let’s talk this through calmly.”
Yang Wei pointed at the father and son with the slipper, her face expressionless. “Move aside.”
Ji Xuesong grinned nervously. “Let’s not be impulsive.”
Seeing that he refused to move, Yang Wei, in a fit of rage, started swinging the slipper at both of them, sending father and son scrambling to dodge. Only after she was completely out of breath did she finally calm down a little. She then shot Ji Xuesong a cold look and said, “Why don’t you ask your precious son why he’s being punished today?”
Ji Ling, who had been hiding behind his father, shivered at those words. If he answered truthfully, he was afraid he’d be in for a double beating! He immediately drooped his head, remaining silent.
Yang Wei gritted her teeth. “You little brat, not only did you go and get yourself a boyfriend, but you even dared to lie to us about it?!”
Ji Xuesong looked completely lost. “It’s just a boyfriend, what’s the big deal—wait, what? A boyfriend?!” He turned around and gaped at his son in shock. His son had gotten a boyfriend???
Ji Ling forced out an awkward smile. Looking at his mother’s furious expression and his father’s dumbfounded stare, he instinctively took a small step back…
Ji Xuesong remained frozen for several seconds before snapping out of it. He then blurted out in shock, “Weren’t you into girls? How come you never mentioned liking men before?!”
Ji Ling took a deep breath.
Though his coming out had been impulsive, he did not regret it… Some things had to be faced sooner or later. The longer he kept it hidden, the more lies he would have to tell, and the bigger the impact would be when the truth eventually came out.
Biting his lip, he raised his eyes to meet his parents’ and said, “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier, but my relationship with Ning Yue is something I’ve thought about seriously. We’re both serious about it.”
Ji Xuesong was still reeling. “What? Ning Yue? That kid who just walked you home?! Isn’t he your girlfriend’s older brother?”
Ji Ling weakly corrected, “He’s actually Ning Kehan’s uncle. I’ve been dating him, not Ning Kehan. I never said I was dating Ning Kehan…”
Yang Wei fumed again. “So you’re blaming me now? Saying I misunderstood and you never lied to us?!”
Ji Ling chuckled nervously. “Not exactly…”
Ji Xuesong was still in shock. “You’re dating your classmate’s uncle?!”
Ji Ling: “……”
Yang Wei and Ji Xuesong exchanged looks and took deep breaths. They both found it utterly unbelievable that their well-behaved son had suddenly done something so outrageous! This completely shattered their worldview!
Though they had been furious at first, their anger soon gave way to concern. They worried their son had been deceived. Thinking about it now, that Ning Yue was clearly no ordinary man—he had been polite and composed in front of them, without revealing any flaws. Moreover, he was older than Ji Ling, and they knew nothing about his background. What if he was some kind of troublemaker who had lured their innocent, newly-adult son into a trap?!
Yang Wei, both furious and anxious, said, “Do you even know what you’re doing? You can’t just blindly trust someone you don’t really know! How long have you even known him? And besides, he—he—he’s a man!”
Ji Xuesong was equally worried. “S-son… how far have you two… um, taken things?”
Ji Ling looked at his concerned parents, and warmth filled his heart. More than anything, they cared about him—whether he would get hurt or be deceived. They were the people who loved him most in this world…
I am certain of Ning Yu’s love, because I have known him far longer than you think, and we have experienced more than you can imagine.
But I’m sorry—I can’t explain it all in detail.
Ji Ling suddenly stepped forward, hugged his mother’s waist, and acted coy. “I’m sorry. I actually wanted to tell you earlier, but I was afraid you’d be angry, so I didn’t dare to say it…”
Then he turned to look at his father and said seriously, “We haven’t done anything. He respects me very much.”
Ji Ling fell silent for a moment, then looked at his parents and said each word clearly, “I know exactly what I’m doing, and I believe in his feelings for me. But you are the ones who love me most in this world, the ones I trust the most… so I hope to have your approval.”
Yang Wei looked into her son’s deep black eyes, and suddenly, her eyes stung. This brat still had some conscience left—at least he hadn’t completely abandoned his family just because he fell in love.
Ji Xuesong sighed, his lips moving as if to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.
Ji Ling’s eyelashes trembled slightly. His gaze flickered downward. The amount of information they’d received today was already overwhelming—he should stop here. His parents weren’t the type to respond well to being pressured. It was better to let them process everything first before taking the next step. He couldn’t rush this…
Ji Ling blinked, his eyes reddening as he looked sad and dejected. “If you really don’t approve, I… I can stop seeing him…”
Yang Wei & Ji Xuesong: Why do we feel like villains who are tearing apart a loving couple?
Ji Xuesong took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then tried to reason with him, “It’s mainly because… you’re still young. Your thinking isn’t mature yet. We’re worried you’ll regret it in the future. This isn’t the kind of decision you should make lightly…”
Yang Wei’s tone softened a bit, but she was still upset. “You need to reflect on this properly!”
Ji Ling lowered his head. “Okay…”
He trudged back to his room, looking pitiful, his eyes brimming with tears, carefully closing the door behind him.
Then, his expression shifted, and he quickly pulled out his phone.
His phone had been vibrating earlier, but he hadn’t dared to check it. Now, as expected, there were several messages from Ning Yu.
Ji Ling didn’t dare to call back, afraid his parents would overhear, so he texted his boyfriend to reassure him: [Don’t worry, I’m fine.]
Ning Yu’s reply came quickly: [What did they say?]
Ji Ling texted back: [They’re pretty open-minded, they just need time to process it. It’ll be fine in a while. I’ll handle it.]
This time, Ning Yu didn’t respond for a long while. Just when Ji Ling started feeling a bit surprised, a message finally came through: [I’m really worried. I’m afraid they won’t accept me.]
Ji Ling could almost picture Ning Yu’s worried expression. So you have moments like this too? I thought you were always calm and in control. He chuckled and replied: [And what if they really can’t accept it?]
Ning Yu took a long time to reply again before finally saying: [I won’t let that happen.]
Ji Ling was momentarily stunned. Just now, you were nervous and uncertain, and now you’re speaking so decisively? You’re really covering all the bases. He smiled and texted back: [Goodnight. Let’s not meet for the next few days—give them some time to cool down.]
Ning Yu: [Okay. Goodnight.]
………………
For the next couple of days, Ji Ling was on his best behavior at home. He woke up early every day to clean, buy groceries, cook, and even helped his parents with laundry. He was unbelievably obedient. He even brought out the gifts he had prepared for them—tea for his father and a set of facial masks for his mother. He would always look at them with pitiful, pleading eyes.
Lately, everything about her son annoyed Yang Wei. But the little brat kept sticking to her, acting all sweet and obedient. He behaved so well that she couldn’t find a single excuse to be mad at him! Even when she wanted to scold him, he looked so pitiful that she felt like she was bullying him instead.
Ji Xuesong, on the other hand, felt emotional watching his son act so considerate. He remembered how hard it had been for him to court his wife back in the day. His son had grown up into a responsible man—he was even willing to humble himself at home for the sake of his relationship. Maybe… this really was true love. But then again… that Ning Yue was a man. Wouldn’t that mean he’d never get to hold a chubby grandchild in his arms?
So worrisome!
Ji Ling was careful not to make a single wrong move, using every trick he had to win his parents over! The only time he could truly relax was at night when he played games with Ning Yu.
Ning Yu never pushed him, just quietly stayed by his side.
One night, after finishing a game, Ji Ling glanced at the time—it was already midnight. He said: [I’m going to sleep now.]
Ning Yu suddenly said: [I want to see you. We haven’t met in two days.]
Ji Ling: [We’ll see each other at school tomorrow, won’t we? That’s enough. Goodnight.]
Ning Yu was silent for a moment, then said, [Okay.]
Ji Ling placed his phone beside his pillow, turned off the lights, and closed his eyes.
Unbidden, memories of the past surfaced in his mind.
Back then, he had treated everything like a game, distancing himself from that world and avoiding getting too involved with anyone. The only thing that mattered was returning home—he told himself not to care about anything else. But who would have thought… that even after coming back, he would still be entangled with someone from that world?
Then he recalled every moment he had spent with Ning Yu, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
In the first life, everything had gone exactly as the novel had described. But in the second… things had already gone off-script.
When had Ning Yu started liking him?
What had he been thinking back then?
Maybe, from the very first time they met, things had already begun to change from how they were written in the book…
Ji Ling could hardly remember what the original story was supposed to be anymore.
Lying in the dark, he opened his eyes, grabbed his phone, and—almost instinctively—opened the mysterious green novel website and the novel he had bookmarked.
Since the novel had been completed for a long time, there weren’t many comments. He remembered how, back when he first read it, he had gotten annoyed by all the author’s excessive praise for Ning Yu’s so-called kindness and virtue. So much so that he had left a comment: White Lotus in disguise! He’s a scheming manipulator, don’t be fooled!
This was a secret only he knew.
Ning Yu was a ‘White Lotus’.
Ji Ling scrolled down aimlessly. It had been some time since he last checked, and the article had gained a few more comments. But to his shock, beneath the comment he had left, there was a reply!
Xiao Jia: [Is that so?]
The reply was from over two months ago, right after he and Ning Yu had reunited for the first time…
Ji Ling stared at the name ‘Xiao Jia,’ fuming with laughter. That bastard had discovered this novel so early on but had been pretending not to know all along!
So he was actually the first one to find out! How unbelievably composed :)
Ji Ling gritted his teeth and was about to reply, but as he typed, he hesitated. He felt that mere words couldn't express his current emotions, so he simply called Ning Yu. The call connected instantly, and a deep, pleasant voice came through. “Still not asleep?”
Ji Ling huffed angrily, “You’ve already read that novel, haven’t you?”
Ning Yu paused for a moment, then chuckled softly. “Mm.”
Hearing that calm confirmation, Ji Ling suddenly found himself at a loss for words. What was he supposed to say next? Should he blame Ning Yu for reading the novel without telling him? But Ning Yu was the ‘shou’ in that novel—how was he supposed to bring it up? Should he say, ‘I read that novel, and I know I was originally Jing Sui’s shou?’ Or should he blame himself for hiding it from Ning Yu all this time?
Now that he thought about it, knowing about the novel and not telling Ning Yu seemed even worse on his part…
Ji Ling regretted acting on impulse. “Uh…”
Ning Yu chuckled lightly. “This is something we should talk about in person. Can you come down now?”
How could they talk in person at this hour? It was already past 1 AM! Ji Ling said, “Forget it, let’s talk tomorrow—”
Ning Yu said, “Look out your window.”
Ji Ling froze, then climbed out of bed, phone in hand, and walked to the window. Peering outside, he saw Ning Yu standing there, looking up at him with a gentle smile.
He was stunned. “Wait there!”
Ji Ling grabbed his phone and rushed out. Remembering that he couldn't wake his parents, he tiptoed to the door, slipped on his shoes, and quietly stepped outside.
He ran out in one breath, and the moment he stepped out, Ning Yu pulled him into a firm embrace. The man's strong arms wrapped around him, his body warm and solid. Ji Ling's face heated up as he looked up at Ning Yu in surprise. “Why did you come? When did you get here?”
How come every time I want to see you, you're just there? Are we that in sync?
Ning Yu’s handsome face looked even more defined in the night, his black eyes carrying a gentle smile. His lips curved slightly. “Because I wanted to see you, so I came…”
“Even though you turned me down the first time,” he paused, then said softly, “I thought, if you changed your mind, I’d still be here to see you right away.”
Ji Ling was taken aback. His chest felt warm. So, when you asked me earlier, you were already here? Sorry for making you wait so long.
Ji Ling wasn’t angry anymore. Instead, he felt nervous. Ning Yu already knew about the novel—what did he think after reading it?
Even as just a reader, Ji Ling had felt second-hand embarrassment. He really wanted to ask Ning Yu how he felt but was too shy to bring it up.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “How did you find out about the novel?”
Ning Yu smiled at him, his black eyes gentle. His expression was calm. “You never really hid your source of inspiration, so why would it be strange that I found out?”
Ji Ling: “…Not strange.” Actually, I did think it was strange before—Jing Sui and the others all knew, but you didn’t? I even held onto a bit of wishful thinking.
Ji Ling eyed him carefully and asked, “So, what do you think?”
Ning Yu looked at him with deep meaning and said slowly, “It only proves one thing.”
What thing? Ji Ling was so nervous he could barely breathe.
Ning Yu said, “It proves that my love for you is real.”
Ji Ling: “???”
Ning Yu held him even tighter, looking into his eyes with a soft gaze. Lowering his head, he whispered by his ear, “For you, I can abandon my canon pairing, my beliefs, everything… Even for you, I can be the gong—because you're the only one I want to be with.”
Ji Ling: “!!!”
Everything was fine up until that last part—what do you mean, ‘be the gong for me’? Do you mean, ‘you're the only one I want to top’?
Don’t think I don’t understand what you're implying!
Ji Ling gritted his teeth and glared at him, forcing a smile. “So you admit you're a shou? If it weren’t for me, would you have married Jing Sui?”
“Maybe.” Ning Yu said indifferently. “If marriage could help me achieve my goals, I wouldn’t have minded.”
Ji Ling was shocked. I have never seen someone this shameless!
“But…” Ning Yu gazed at Ji Ling, his lips parting slightly as he spoke in a slow, deep voice. “After meeting you, I realized… you're the only person I want to spend my life with. It has nothing to do with benefits, goals, schemes, or calculations.”
“The novel doesn’t matter. What matters is that you came into my world.”
“What matters is that I fell in love with you.”
Because from this moment on,
The only thing that matters to me in this world is loving you.
Ning Yu suddenly lowered his head and kissed the young man’s lips. The kiss was restrained yet gentle, assertive yet full of emotion, as if it carried endless love.
Ji Ling stared at him in a daze, then slowly closed his eyes.
He stood on tiptoe and kissed him back.
Yes, the novel didn’t really matter. Words on paper were just words. The person in front of him was real—alive, tangible…
Ning Yu’s arms tightened around Ji Ling’s waist, his breath growing heavier. Ji Ling could vaguely sense the change in the other’s body…
The atmosphere became intimate and charged with tension.
Ji Ling's breathing grew rapid. He knew he should go back, but he couldn’t bear to let go.
They were like secret lovers, cherishing every stolen moment together…
Just as Ji Ling was getting lost in the kiss, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.
System: [I just saw your email. Sorry, I was busy and only got to it now…]
The system was silent for two seconds, then suddenly screamed in horror: [WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! AREN’T YOU STRAIGHT?!]
