What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You - CH 136
—He Yunxiao, knew that when Fan Zirou said “I can’t decide on my own”, she meant to let him discuss it with her father, Fan Zirou. In fact, this was a polite refusal.
Fan Zirou is conservative in her thinking and has a stable personality, plus she only has a favorability of 76, so He Yunxiao, can understand why she doesn’t say yes to the marriage proposal directly.
But now, what He Yunxiao, didn’t understand was why the first time she mistakenly said that he was her husband, he could increase her favorability a little. The second time he hinted at it again, it didn’t work.
Not being able to understand it for a while, He Yunxiao, chose to leave it for now.
The good news was that he now finally had the same 76 favourability rating as Chu Fan for Sister Zirou. With this 76 favorability level alone, he could already start trying to lower Zirou’s favorability level towards Chu Fan.
As long as the favorability level of Zirou sister towards Chu Fan was lowered, then he could help her get out of Chu Xiaoxiao’s clutches, just like sister Du did back then!
But now was not the time to think about that. What I should think about now was a way to get the cause of Zirou’s heart knot out of her while teaching her to write the plot.
When He Yunxiao, looked at Fan Zirou’s blushing pretty face, he felt that there was something special about a dignified beauty with a shy face.
To test the knot in the plot outline, He Yunxiao, decided to spoil the beautiful image of the “shy beauty”.
“Zirou.”
The blush on Fan Ziziwei’s face had not yet faded, and when she heard He Yunxiao, call her, she hurriedly responded, “Yes.”
“Isn’t it time we discussed the novel?”
Hearing something about novels, Fan Zirou straightened up.
“Yes, Young Master just mentioned that one sentence sums up his story.”
After she finished, she even thoughtfully handed the manuscript paper with the story written on it, to He Yunxiao,’s face.
He Yunxiao, looked at the manuscript paper and carefully explained, “Now, we have a relatively clear story line, but it’s not enough. We still need to have an outline to expand this vein a bit more.”
“Does Zirou know what an outline is?”
Fan Zirou naturally knew, “An outline is the gist of the story.”
He Yunxiao, said again, “Right! It’s the main points. These points, when broken down, can also be divided into a setting outline, a plot line outline, a relationship line outline, and a character outline.”
He Yunxiao, pointed to the first paragraph of the story in Fan Zirou’s manuscript paper, “Fan Zi adores her brother He Xiao”.
Then he said, “The so-called setting outline is a synopsis of the various settings in the story. Here, for example, Fan Zi is He Xiao’s junior sister. So what sect are they from? What is the martial art they are studying? What are the martial arts sects in their world? ……”
Fan Zirou nodded to show her understanding.
And then, He Yunxiao, introduced the “plot line outline”, “relationship line outline” and “character outline”.
And he said emphatically, “The most important thing in a romance is not the setting, but the plot and the feelings. The plot needs to be a story with ups and downs, and the relationship has to be logical. If the former doesn’t work, it will be boring, and if the latter doesn’t work, it will feel raw.”
Fan Zirou nodded once again, indicating that she understood again.
Although Fan Zirou was indeed a genius, He Yunxiao, did not believe that she, who had never written a novel before, would be able to understand how to write a novel just by listening to it once.
So He Yunxiao, said, “Zirou, you write a plot outline of the paragraph ‘Fan Zi loves her senior brother, He Xiao, and tries to “lose her first” to him by all means, but fails repeatedly’, and show it to me. ”
Fan Zirou agreed “yes”, then took out a pen and paper and began to write.
He Yunxiao, took one look at her and thought, ‘It’s not good, she can’t really write it just by listening to it, can she?’
Is she really a genius who doesn’t make any sense at all?
He Yunxiao, walked up behind her and looked at her handwriting on the paper.
After just two paragraphs, He Yunxiao, exclaimed, “This is great.
The plot that Fan Zirou needed to write had three main points to show: the first was “Fan Zi loves He Xiao”, the second was “wants to lose her virginity to him”, and the third was “fails repeatedly”.
The first plot that Fan Zirou wrote on the script paper was “Brother and sister go on a mission, and He Xiao saves the day”. Although the plot is clichéd, as long as the emotions are described properly, it is more than enough to explain why “Fan Zi adores He Xiao”.
The second storyline is “He Xiao is welcomed by his sisters in the sect”. This plot is very well done. It directly heightens Fan Zi’s sense of crisis, and paves the way for her to “try to lose her virginity”.
After watching these two episodes, He Yunxiao, no longer wanted to watch them.
He knew that Fan Zirou had no problem with the plot design.
A genius is a genius no matter what they do.
She only had to be taught once, and she could use it proficiently.
Is there still a king’s law here? Or was there even a law?
He Yunxiao, just wanted to angrily rebuke the heavens for their injustice. But when he thought that sister Zirou would be his own wife, and that the baby she would give birth to in the future would also be smart. He Yunxiao, then silently gave the heavens a nod of approval.
As if she had thought about it, Fan Zirou wrote very quickly, and in no time, she had finished the first paragraph of the plot.
He Yunxiao, looked at the paper that Fan Zirou handed him and had nothing to say.
Regarding plot, there was nothing particularly remarkable about Fan Zirou’s plot, but each of them was reasonable. That was enough.
When it comes to romance, it’s not the plot that counts, but the characters, and developing their feelings for each other.
Fan Zi’s plot is completely up to par.
With her writing power, she didn’t have to worry about describing the characters poorly, so for her, it was almost as if she just needed to perfect the outline of the relationship line and then she could start writing the novel.
He Yunxiao,, wanted to say, “Zirou, you write very well.” But no. He had to pretend to discuss the outline with Fan Zirou to test her heart.
He Yunxiao, took the time to read the synopsis and thought about the previous case where Zirou had increased her favorability a little.
At that time, he had mistakenly stepped into the role of her husband and then made her gain a little bit of favorability. Later, when I tried her again as her husband, I did not increase her favorability.
Why did it go up one time but not the next?
Could it be that the reason for the rise in favorability was the attitude of being her husband, rather than the fact that he had spoken words of love to her?
The attitude of being her husband can only appear once, while love words can be said many times, so when she knows my attitude, I can’t reproduce the thing again, so the favorability rating can only go up once. When I tried again the latter time, it had no effect.
But why did she increase her favorability because I had the attitude of “wanting to marry her”?
Was it because she had tacitly agreed that I wouldn’t marry her?
Why would she think that?
He Yunxiao, couldn’t figure it out, so he returned his attention to Fan Zirou’s plot outline.
On the plot outline, there was a paragraph that read, “He Xiao rejected Fan Zi who offered him her hand because he felt that she was just more than just his sister.”
He Yunxiao, was a bit confused, so he asked Fan Zirou, “Zirou, why did He Xiao reject Fan Zi here?”
Fan Zirou looked at the manuscript paper and explained, “Because although Fan Zi is a junior sister, Fan Zi’s father and He Xiao are friends.”
He Yunxiao, understood that the reason He Xiao rejected Fan Zi was because of ethics. Simply put, Fan Zi was considered He Xiao’s brother’s daughter, so how could this be done?
The more He Yunxiao, thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Since He Xiao didn’t accept Fan Zi because of ethics, is it possible that Fan Zirou as an author, who has this kind of thinking, won’t accept me because of ethics?
It’s entirely possible!
No wonder she knew that my attitude of “wanting to marry her” had increased her favorability rating, whereas before, no matter how much I brushed up my favorability level, it would not increase. It’s because she had never come across the “teacher-student” line before, she never dared to think about it!
Fan Zirou values these things the most. She is both my teacher and my student, with such a complicated relationship, it is normal for her to be apprehensive.
When He Yunxiao, thought of the time when he first met Fan Zirou, at that time he had to break the teacher-student relationship with Fan Zirou to become her teacher, just because he was afraid that this situation would arise now.
I never thought that it would still appear.
However, now that he knew the cause of the knot in his heart, it would be much easier to untie it again.
