Blame The Villain For Being Too Beautiful

Villainous Singer (8)

After this teaching experience, Song Xu Yi reflected on herself. When she returned, she took the time to create a teaching plan for Lin Ruoyu. After all, she was now the employer, and Lin Ruoyu, being busy with work, had a valid excuse for her lack of enthusiasm for learning. However, given Lin Ruoyu’s intelligence, she could grasp relevant knowledge in a short period of time. What Song Xu Yi needed to do was to formulate the most suitable arrangement for Lin Ruoyu in the shortest time to ignite her learning enthusiasm.

Song Xu Yi felt that she had finally found her role in her interactions with Lin Ruoyu.

After some thought, she chose a makeup robot model that most girls would like and debugged it herself three or four times to ensure that there would be no more glitches like before. With confidence, she left a message on Lin Ruoyu’s holographic screen:

“Recently, I’ve learned about another interesting robot. Would you like to learn about it too?”

Song Xu Yi didn’t expect Lin Ruoyu to reply so quickly. Almost as soon as she sent the message, Lin Ruoyu initiated a call. As Song Xu Yi answered, she saw Lin Ruoyu’s 3D projection appear in front of her…

Lin Ruoyu was already in her pajamas, wearing a cute-looking sleep cap. Her gaze seemed somewhat hazy, as if she had just woken up, shedding the lofty and exquisite demeanor, and restoring the youthful charm and vitality that a teenage girl should have.

“What robot have you learned about again?” Lin Ruoyu yawned softly, her voice carrying a slight hint of a sleepy, sweet tone.

Upon seeing Lin Ruoyu’s adorable and contrasting appearance, Song Xu Yi couldn’t help but take an extra glance before lowering her head. She introduced her device to Lin Ruoyu, saying, “This is a makeup robot. It can automatically help the owner with makeup and can complete a makeup look in just three minutes. I’ve preset the program inside, and the operation and assembly are very simple. Would you like to give it a try, Sister Ruoyu?”

Song Xu Yi glanced at Lin Ruoyu, who seemed to be looking at her strangely. Worried that Lin Ruoyu might lose interest in the robot later, she quickly closed her eyes and turned on the robot to assist with makeup application.

“How is it?”

When Song Xu Yi opened her eyes again, she found Lin Ruoyu crouched in front of her, her eyes slightly squinted as if carefully examining her makeup.

“It’s not bad,” Lin Ruoyu lazily replied, her gaze fixed on Song Xu Yi. She raised an eyebrow and continued, “But I’m a bit puzzled. What’s the meaning behind little sister Xu Yi recommending a makeup robot to me? Do you think I can’t be seen without makeup?”

Song Xu Yi hadn’t expected Lin Ruoyu to interpret it this way, and her eyes widened in surprise. She hurriedly explained, “Of course not! Sister Ruoyu, you’re so beautiful, the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen. I just thought that doing makeup every day can be tiring. If you can use a robot to ease the burden, you could take a bit more rest…”

As she watched Song Xu Yi’s flustered explanation, Lin Ruoyu gave a soft “Hmm” and a smile slowly formed on her face.

Song Xu Yi let out a sigh of relief. She wasn’t sure why, but whenever she faced Lin Ruoyu’s gaze, even though she was just a young girl in her early teens, she couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of pressure.

“You teach me then!” Lin Ruoyu’s tone was noticeably upbeat as she carefully examined the makeup robot assembled by Song Xu Yi. She raised an eyebrow and continued, “Thanks to little sister Xu Yi for saving me a few minutes of sleep.”

Song Xu Yi lowered her head.

That strange feeling came again!

Even though Lin Ruoyu was expressing gratitude, somehow, Song Xu Yi couldn’t help but feel a hint of mockery in her words. It sounded oddly peculiar. But when Song Xu Yi looked at her, Lin Ruoyu’s expression appeared quite serious.

Song Xu Yi composed herself, realizing that this might be her own preconceived bias. Because she knew in advance that Lin Ruoyu was a villain, she subconsciously thought ill of her. However, no one could predict the future, and Lin Ruoyu was currently her employer who objectively helped her in a dire situation. She shouldn’t continue to view her through tinted lenses.

With these thoughts in mind, Song Xu Yi began to teach Lin Ruoyu wholeheartedly.

Lin Ruoyu rarely spoke; her gaze didn’t focus on the robot, but rather was more interested in observing Song Xu Yi. Song Xu Yi found it somewhat challenging to withstand Lin Ruoyu’s intense gaze, but she reminded herself that she was the “young teacher” and couldn’t back down. In an effort to keep Lin Ruoyu engaged, Song Xu Yi resorted to asking questions to involve her in the lesson.

However, Lin Ruoyu responded effortlessly to Song Xu Yi’s questions…

Song Xu Yi could only reflect on herself: Lin Ruoyu had talent, and perhaps her lack of teaching experience as a “young teacher” was causing Lin Ruoyu’s lack of interest.

Therefore, after concluding this teaching session, Song Xu Yi began to review her teaching process. She identified several traits of Lin Ruoyu: for instance, Lin Ruoyu enjoyed hearing praise from Song Xu Yi. Her already beautiful eyes would brighten even more when she received compliments. Moreover, maybe due to being in a distant place, whenever Song Xu Yi expressed concern for her, Lin Ruoyu seemed genuinely happy…

Song Xu Yi secretly noted down these traits and planned to apply them in her future teaching sessions.

After reviewing her teaching, Song Xu Yi powered on her light-brain. Just as it booted up, she received a notification of money being deposited. Song Xu Yi hadn’t expected to receive another transfer from Lin Ruoyu—

Lin Ruoyu was as generous as ever, seemingly aware that Song Xu Yi might refuse. Along with the transfer, Lin Ruoyu left a note—

“Thank you for the emotional support you’ve provided me. This is your reward.”

Song Xu Yi didn’t take Lin Ruoyu’s message to heart, nor did she want Lin Ruoyu to spend so much. She transferred the money back, explaining, “You’ve given too much.” After waiting for two minutes without receiving a response from Lin Ruoyu, she assumed that Lin Ruoyu had probably accepted her explanation. Song Xu Yi then closed her light-brain and went to sleep.

Song Xu Yi’s next plan was to create a delivery robot.

Unlike Song Xu Yi, who could only rely on nutritional supplements to replenish her energy, Lin Ruoyu earned more money and had enough funds to purchase delicious food. However, Song Xu Yi didn’t want the delivery robot to simply perform errands. She wanted it to cater to Lin Ruoyu’s preferences, say pleasing words, pay attention to her mood, and buy appropriate food for her…

These intelligent designs posed a significant challenge for the current Song Xu Yi.

Therefore, Song Xu Yi threw herself into the development of the delivery robot. During this process, she self-taught a lot of knowledge and made great progress. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn’t pay attention to other things and didn’t realize that she hadn’t been in touch with Lin Ruoyu for several days.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Song Xu Yi had finally designed the general framework of the robot and felt immensely pleased. After a busy night, she was too tired, so she lay down in Lin Ruoyu’s room and drifted off to sleep.

When Song Xu Yi woke up again, she found herself being held up by an unassuming robot in Lin Ruoyu’s room. The robot’s grip wasn’t too strong; it seemed to adjust its strength based on Song Xu Yi’s struggling, making her uncomfortable but effectively restraining her…

Lin Ruoyu tied her hair into a high ponytail, puffed up her cheeks, and stood in front of Song Xu Yi. From outside the door came the urging voice of her manager, “You have only half an hour at most.” However, Lin Ruoyu seemed oblivious, earnestly pinching Song Xu Yi’s cheeks. She counted as she pinched, stopping only after reaching twenty.

Lin Ruoyu’s pinching wasn’t forceful, yet Song Xu Yi felt incredibly embarrassed and a bit angry. She stared at Lin Ruoyu, unable to comprehend why she was treating her this way. Lin Ruoyu, on the other hand, appeared even angrier, punctuating her words with determination, “I came to find you right after finishing my album recording!”

“If you ever refuse to take my money again, I’ll pinch you forty times next time!”

“…”

Song Xu Yi didn’t expect Lin Ruoyu to come back specifically for such a childish reason. However, Lin Ruoyu seemed genuinely earnest despite the triviality of the situation. Song Xu Yi looked at her expression, momentarily at a loss for words…

Forget it!

Song Xu Yi thought with resignation: If the young villain wanted to act like a fool, she shouldn’t stand in her way.

Afterward, Lin Ruoyu hurriedly left to join her manager and proceed to the next performance. She didn’t have time for extensive communication with Song Xu Yi. However, on the same evening, Lin Ruoyu contacted Song Xu Yi.

Unlike her fierce demeanor during the day, Lin Ruoyu now appeared remarkably reasonable. She sincerely apologized to Song Xu Yi, saying she shouldn’t have pinched her cheeks. She explained that her anger wasn’t actually about Song Xu Yi refusing her money; it was just that sleeping Song Xu Yi looked too cute, and she couldn’t resist…

She also expressed that she already considered Song Xu Yi a good friend and hoped that Song Xu Yi could have a better life, which was why she gave her money.

If Lin Ruoyu had maintained the same harsh attitude as during the day, Song Xu Yi was even considering quitting her job. However, Lin Ruoyu’s gentle and sincere words during the evening conversation softened her stance. Song Xu Yi had always been more receptive to kindness than force. Remembering that Lin Ruoyu was still a child of less than fourteen years old, she realized she shouldn’t dwell on this too much. Song Xu Yi let go of her resentment and began to explain the framework of the delivery robot to Lin Ruoyu.

Despite her inner frustration, Song Xu Yi didn’t let her emotions affect her work. During the day, she hadn’t forgotten about developing the delivery robot. The robot required positive and comforting phrases, but since Proxima Centauri beings valued voice copyrights, using someone else’s voice would incur substantial fees. So, Song Xu Yi decided to use her own voice as a prototype. She recorded a sample of her voice saying, “Ruoyu, you look really beautiful today. A glass of juice can make you even more radiant…” and incorporated it into the robot.

Hearing the robot use her own voice to playfully say those phrases made Song Xu Yi feel incredibly embarrassed, but Lin Ruoyu’s eyes lit up.

As Song Xu Yi expected, Lin Ruoyu absolutely loved the robot. She looked at Song Xu Yi with shining eyes and repeated multiple times, “Xu Yi, you’re so amazing!” Under Lin Ruoyu’s gaze, Song Xu Yi’s initial awkwardness dissipated. She even felt a sense of pride. Her teaching method was indeed correct; Lin Ruoyu really liked the positive and comforting phrases!

After demonstrating the assembly of this robot with great enthusiasm, Lin Ruoyu once again handed Song Xu Yi a substantial amount of money on the spot.

In the slightly coquettish tone of Lin Ruoyu saying, “Xu Yi, just accept this money,” Song Xu Yi hesitated repeatedly. Eventually, she decided not to transfer the money back this time. Lin Ruoyu’s temperament was unpredictable, and Song Xu Yi couldn’t bear another round of back-and-forth with her.

However, she didn’t want to keep the money either. After some thought, Song Xu Yi decided to save the money and return it to Lin Ruoyu when she needed it in the future…

The author has something to say:

Lin Ruoyu: What should we do with a principled young girl?

Mixing persuasion and persistence, a plan that uses both soft and hard approaches!

…

Actually, I really want a three-minute makeup robot, representing me personally.
