The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Five Million

In the darkness, only the rhythm of Xu Wen patting Lu Qingrang’s back was left.

Whenever Xu Wen thought that Lu Qingrang had finally calmed down completely and could move his numb body a little, he would just try to pull out the arm that was hugged too tightly. The person next to him would immediately frown uneasily even in his sleep, and then the warm liquid would silently soak the skin of his shoulders and neck.

Xu Wen completely lost his temper.

I can only start harassing the system in my mind in the middle of the night: “System! System!! Hurry! Is there any trick for me to refer to!”

[Based on the human social behavior database, we are screening for you the best solution for dealing with continued dependence after an adult’s emotional breakdown.】

The cold mechanical sound of the system sounded steadily.

[Suggestion 1: Maintain an appropriate physical distance and give the other person space to recover independently.Suggestion 2: Communicate rationally and guide the other party to use language to express…]

“”

“Stop, stop, stop! Get out of here!”

Xu Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly after listening to the human-machine suggestion.

He could only pour out all the words he had accumulated in his two lifetimes that could be used to coax people.

From the initial “I’m here, I won’t leave” to the later almost nonsense “I’ll be here with you even when the universe explodes”, in the end it can only become a repeated caress over and over again, along Lu Qingrang’s tense back.

“Brother Lu…” Xu Wen’s voice was full of sleepiness. He gave up his attempt to move away and lay down again as if resigned to his fate.

He hugged the slightly trembling body tighter, as if comforting a frightened cat, “I can’t move. Look, I can’t move. Go to sleep, okay?”

He didn’t know if Lu Qingrang could hear it, but this trick seemed to work.

After being hugged tightly by him again, the slight trembling and silent tears gradually stopped.

The room was silent again, with only the sounds of breathing intertwined with each other.

Xu Wen’s eyelids were so tired that he was fighting, and before his consciousness was about to sink into darkness, he used his last bit of clarity to try to pull his arm out from under Lu Qingrang’s body with the gentlest movements.

With just a small movement, Lu Qingrang’s breathing immediately became rapid, and one hand suddenly grabbed the sleeve of his pajamas with such force that his knuckles turned white.

Although there were no more tears, the silent protest and fear were more powerful than any words.

“Pull…”

Lu Qingrang’s voice was unclear, with a lingering nasal sound and sleepiness, more like an instinctive babble.

Xu Wen sighed silently in the darkness, feeling so soft in his heart that he felt a little funny.

What a poor little person who lacks love.

He compromised, surrendered completely.

He adjusted his posture and no longer tried to escape. Instead, he firmly held the cold hand back, slowly embedded his ten fingers into the other’s fingers, interlocked them tightly, and then placed the intertwined hands on the pillow between the two of them.

“Okay, hold on.” He promised softly, coaxing with his last breath, “Just sleep like this, I won’t let go.”

Lu Qing let his tense body finally relax completely at this moment, his breathing became deep and steady, and he fell into a truly peaceful sleep.

Xu Wen felt the temperature and pulse of another person coming from his palm and closed his eyes.

Xu Wen was awakened by the aroma of food.

He opened his eyes drowsily and found that he had the entire bed to himself.

The sun shines in through the gaps in the curtains, and it’s obviously getting late.

“Oops!” He sat up suddenly and grabbed his phone to check the time.

“I asked for leave for you.”

Xu Wen was stunned and looked out.

Lu Qingrang was walking out of the kitchen with two bowls of porridge, still wearing the blue plaid apron.

His expression has returned to its former calmness, and except for the bloodshot traces still remaining in his eyes, there are almost no traces of the collapse last night.

“Seeing that you were sleeping deeply, I didn’t wake you up.”

Lu Qingrang put the porridge bowl on the small table and said in a gentle voice, “Go and wash up first. Breakfast is ready.”

Xu Wen rubbed his swollen temples, looked at the porridge and side dishes placed on the table, and then looked at Lu Qingrang, who looked as usual, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Are the person who was as fragile as a child last night and the Lu Qingrang who calmly arranged everything in front of him really the same person?

“Still stunned?” Lu Qingrang raised his eyes to look at him, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips, “Do you need me to squeeze out the toothpaste for you?”

These slightly teasing words brought Xu Wen back to his senses instantly.

He muttered “Who wants your help?” and walked towards the bathroom with his slippers on, feeling inexplicably relieved in his heart.

At least, his Brother Lu is back.

Xu Wen almost floated to the bathroom, then washed up and sat down at the dining table.

He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of warm porridge into his mouth. The rice was rich in aroma and the heat was just right. It was Lu Qingrang’s craft that he was familiar with.

The daily warmth relaxed his tense nerves a little.

“Xu Wen.”

Lu Qingrang, who was sitting opposite him, put down his chopsticks and spoke in a calm voice.

Xu Wen raised his head, still holding porridge in his mouth, and responded vaguely: “Huh?”

“There is something I think I should tell you.” Lu Qingrang’s eyes were calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

“Well, let’s talk.” Xu Wen didn’t pay much attention, scooped another spoonful of porridge into his mouth, and ate without raising his head.

“I spread a code through the dark web, which is the core module that can solve the technical bottleneck of Nangong Group’s Sky Dome Project.”

Lu Qingrang’s tone was calm, as if he was narrating someone else’s story, “I planted a mine inside. Once it is deeply integrated into their core system, under certain conditions, it will silently dismantle their security barriers and copy key data.”

Xu Wen’s eyes widened and he forgot to swallow the porridge in his mouth.

He didn’t expect that Lu Qingrang had done such a big job without saying anything.

“Then what?” he asked subconsciously, his heart starting to beat fast.

Lu Qingrang looked at him and continued: “Nangong Chen’s brother Nangong Yu bought out this program for five million.”

The air seemed to freeze.

Xu Wen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Five million?This number was like a heavy hammer, making him dizzy.

Then, he saw Lu Qingrang take out a brand new bank card from his pocket, push it across the table with two fingers, and slide it gently in front of him.

“Here’s the money.” Lu Qingrang’s voice was still steady, “The password is your birthday, and this money is for you.”

“…”

Xu Wen’s eyes were fixed on the small card on the table, and his brain went blank for an instant as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

Five million?

program?

Laying a minefield?

Nangong Yu?

Bank card?

These words collided and rotated wildly in his mind, but they could not form any meaningful logical chain.

His worldview was completely overturned and crushed in just a few seconds.

He maintained the posture of holding the spoon, his whole figure was pressed on the pause button, his eyes were unblinking, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped.

Completely down.
