The Apocalypse? No Sweat—I’ve Got the Villain - Chapter 1

“You want me to save you? Call me husband.”

“You…”

Shock and fury flashed through Gu Yuan’s eyes. His lips pressed into a hard line.

I had meant to explain immediately, but the sight of him looking so thoroughly humiliated changed my mind.

Served him right. All those male leads spent every day fooling around with the protagonist bottom right in front of me.

Sure, I had never actually seen Gu Yuan put a hand on his protagonist-bottom brother, but I was convinced they were all in on it together.

Ever since I transmigrated into this smutty BL novel, not a day had passed without my eyes being assaulted.

I had suffered long enough in this depraved world. What was wrong with bullying him once?

“Young Master Gu, could you take a moment to appreciate your current situation?”

I hooked a finger beneath his chin and forced him to look up at me.

Mutant pothos vines had him pinned tight, angry red welts crisscrossing his arms and legs.

He really was the great villain. He had bitten his lip bloody and still refused to make a sound.

But even a mutant pothos was dangerously aggressive. Left alone, it could kill him.

I was his university professor, after all. Standing by while he died would be hard to justify.

I was just about to let him off when I heard a faint, breathy whisper.

“Husband.”

It was barely louder than a mosquito, but I heard it.

I had not expected him to really say it. Laughing under my breath, I pulled a small knife from my pocket.

“Hang on. Your husband’s coming to save you.”

Gu Yuan turned his face away, but the tips of his ears beneath his tousled hair were bright red.

Before he turned evil, the little villain was actually pretty cute.

I cut through every vine. Once Gu Yuan was back on his feet, he awkwardly muttered a thank-you.

“All right. Take this and try to stay alive.”

I handed him the knife and said goodbye. I had barely turned to leave when the perfectly conscious Gu Yuan pitched straight toward me.

Villains were not allowed to scam innocent NPCs like this!

I caught him on instinct.

I never imagined that one embrace would last two whole weeks.
