Wake Up, I’m the Former Villainess

Nian Nian responded extremely quickly, and pulled up the thin quilt that she had lifted off for Xiao Yi, and made a silent gesture to him.

Before she could put her hand down, an excited voice came from outside, “Xiao Yi, you are saved!”

It was the voice of the boy who gave Xiao Yi the food box earlier.

Nian Nian warned in a low voice, “If you don’t want me to tell him about your crying, don’t reveal my whereabouts.”

Xiao Yi was so angry: Nonsense, when did I cry?

Nian Nian didn’t care. Looking around, she saw a closet with paint stains in the corner, so she crept over and got into the closet.

Before figuring out her situation and preparing herself, she didn’t want too many people to know her whereabouts.

The closet wasn’t big, but fortunately, Nian Nian was a child, so it was more than enough to hide in. There were only a few pieces of clothing, neatly stacked in the corners.

Through the gap in the door, Nian Nian saw the thin young man who had brought Xiao Yi food before rushing in, holding a medicine bottle in one hand, and said excitedly, “You’re saved!”

Xiao Yi retracted the shameful gaze that fell on the closet, looked at the incoming person, his gaze softened as he whispered, “Yuan Zhou.”

Was Yuan Zhou a good friend of the little guy?

After thinking, Nian Nian adjusted to a comfortable posture in the closet, took out the task manual and flipped through it.

Under the character list, the first character profile appeared.

Teng Yuanzhou: He was originally the son of a tenant in Niutou village, Shunning. He worked in the kitchen of the palace. The male lead Nie Qinghan escaped by chance and settled in Niutou Village on the outskirts of Jingjiang Mansion. He stayed with the Teng family and helped them a lot. Knowing Nie Qinghan’s loneliness and helplessness, they introduced him to work in Shunning Palace.

Nie Qinghan offended the family and was isolated. Only Teng Yuanzhou helped him a little bit.

After Nie Qinghan and Fu Xiang got married, Teng Yuanzhou became the chief guard of the two residences. He was loyal to Nie Qinghan and was deeply trusted by him. In the end, he sealed a thousand hereditary families and took charge of the forbidden army guarding the imperial palace.

In short, this person was Nie Qinghan’s iron.

It was a pleasant surprise that she met someone related to the male lead so soon. Nian Nian wasn’t sure if the male lead had entered the palace at this time to work.

“Are you awake?” Teng Yuanzhou was overjoyed, rushed to Xiao Yi, handed over the medicine bottle, his eyes were shining, “We have medicine.”

Xiao Yi was surprised, “The government doctor gave it?” The government doctor was willing to offend the princess for him?

Teng Yuanzhou shook his head, “No, the second lady was merciful and sent someone secretly. She told me not to say anything, lest the princess knows that and gets angry. You know, the princess has always been domineering, and the second lady can’t afford to provoke her.”

Xiao Yi coughed lightly and glanced toward the closet.

Unconsciously, Teng Yuanzhou shouted, “I’ll help you apply the medicine.” 

He stretched out his hand to lift the thin quilt on his body.

Xiao Yi clenched his fist and said, “No, someone already helped me apply the medicine.” 

His clothes were torn to pieces by the female overlord. How could he let him see it?

Teng Yuanzhou was surprised, “Who?”

Xiao Yi hesitated.

Teng Yuanzhou suddenly realized, “Why am I confused? With the princess, of course, the other party only dares to save you quietly and dare not leave a name. Otherwise, it will be bad to anger the princess.”

Xiao Yi coughed again.

Teng Yuanzhou was anxious, “Oh, why do you always cough?” He wanted to stretch out his hand to help him, and halfway through it, he remembered that the opponent’s back was all wounded, his hands were frozen again, and he was so anxious.

Xiao Yi stopped coughing, “I’m fine, I accidentally choked.”

Teng Yuanzhou wiped the sweat on his head, “Are you really alright?”

Xiao Yi said, “Hmm”.

Teng Yuanzhou was relieved, he thought of something then said, “Since you were punished, you didn’t eat anything. You should be hungry, right? I took rice and steamed buns from the kitchen, I will feed you.” 

He turned around and opened the food box.

“Huh?” He said, “Did  your rescuer feed you?”

Xiao Yi was startled and couldn’t help but look in the direction of the closet again. He naturally didn’t eat it, and the only explanation was that she did. But she had been noble and arrogant since she was young. Because of her picky taste, the cooks in the mansion changed a lot. Could she eat this rice? Even in order to tease him, she didn’t have to do anything wrong herself.

Didn’t she lie to him about her amnesia?

Xiao Yi thought.

Teng Yuanzhou said worriedly, “Why didn’t you eat much? You can get better quickly by eating more.” He delivered the remaining half bowl of rice to his mouth, “At least eat a little more.”

Xiao Yi was absent-minded and didn’t pay attention. When he reacted, his hair was about to explode: Hey! Hey! Hey! This is something someone else has eaten!

Nian Nian was holding her knees and listening from the closet. The little guy refused to eat or give reasons, and the other tried to persuade him bitterly. In the end, Xiao Yi won. He would rather choke than eat a mouthful of rice, and was only willing to eat the complete buns.

She tittered in her heart: This kid is quite special.

Her eyelids were getting heavier. The original owner was seriously injured. She hit her head when she fell and lost a lot of blood. When Nian Nian met the injured Xiao Yi, she wanted to heal him, so she used the medicine the system produced. She lasted for so long and now tiredness was flooding like a tide.

She adjusted her posture, and fell asleep unknowingly amid Teng Yuanzhou’s noisy concern for Xiao Yi.
