QT: Capture The Villain's Love

Chapter 41: The Male Lead Is Pretending!

Both Tyler and Dean were stunned. The first looked at each other, and the former's eyes widened in realization. Did he just rub his face against Dean's palms? Had he gone insane?! He gulped and lowered his head, not wanting to meet the male lead's eyes.

Tyler knew what just happened was similar to the situation from the previous world. He was similarly lying on the top of the male lead, gawking at the latter's face like a fool. And because of this, Tyler momentarily forgot where he was and let himself indulge in his desires for once, only to wake up a second later.

What the hell was wrong with him?! After muttering curses to himself under his breath, Tyler eventually got up on his feet and pursed his lips, silently thanking Adam before things could turn worse.

At this time, even Dean's face wasn't good. Did he do something to expose himself to Tyler? He was now 100% sure that the other person had recognized him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell the other person the truth, but he was afraid that the consequences of telling Tyler everything would be worse! The latter could even cease to exist!

Of course, aside from Tyler's actual death, there was also the point of Dean's embarrassing activities that he had done in the previous world. And if Tyler happened to realize that Dean and David were one and the same person, it would be extremely embarrassing for him to stand before Tyler with a straight face!

The male lead was currently tangled, thinking about how he could hide the fact that he wasn't David. What he didn't know was that his subconscious habit was the thing that made Tyler figure out his identity.

And now, when the latter behaved like this, even rubbing affectionately against his palms like a kitten, Dean had realized that he gave himself away. How long did Tyler realize that he was David in the previous world? He was so careful in this world that he even tried acting according to the character settings, pretending to be Dean for real.

Why the hell was Tyler so savvy?!

Now when Dean remembered that small action of Tyler rubbing against his hands, his throat went dry. He looked at Tyler and gritted his teeth. No! He had to continue to pretend. That was the only way to save Tyler in real life!

Thinking like this, Dean silently got up and staggered into the darkness before Tyler and Adam could find him.

On the other side, Tyler was still trying to take a few breaths to calm himself and had just controlled his emotions when Adam exclaimed in worry. "Where's Dean?!"

"What?" Tyler's eyesight darted toward the place where Dean was lying on the ground, only to find the place absolutely empty. A flash of emotion crossed his eyes before he leaned back on the cave. He knew why Dean suddenly disappeared, leaving them like this. That person still dared to pretend in front of him!

Tyler's face twisted into anger. From now on, he would give the other the cold shoulder. Now he wouldn't talk to Dean unless necessary!

After half an hour of waiting, Dean came back with a piece of mirror and threw it toward Tyler coldly. "Found this somewhere."

Tyler nodded and turned his head away, scrutinizing the mirror. But no matter how much he turned it around, he still couldn't make head or tail of it. He frowned and glanced at Adam. "Perhaps we can find more clues in other caves."

"Wait" Adam couldn't help but gulp his saliva when he thought of going to other caves. "Doesn't that mean we would have to pass through the hordes of monsters all over again?!"

Tyler furrowed his brows at this. Even though he was strong, he still knew when to reconsider his actions and take a step back. Right now, he wasn't as powerful as even one of those monsters. And even if he tried to go against them, he might end up dying in this world ahead of schedule.

And if he died, would it place an impact on Dean? In the previous world, Dean had to spend fifty years alone for some reason. And now, if Tyler would end up dying ahead, things might get severe. Even though he didn't know the reason why Dean had to spend fifty years in that world, he could still deduce the reason.

The most prominent reason would be that Dean's system forced the latter to spend fifty years stabilizing the world.

If that were the case, then his current actions might also directly or indirectly affect the male lead, and he didn't want that.

While he was thinking this, Dean suddenly said, "You don't have to worry, Adam. I have a way."

"What?" Adam said.

Tyler didn't look at the latter. He knew the male lead was avoiding him because of what happened earlier, and even he didn't want to talk to the other person because he was angry. 

So the two of the tactfully avoided each other, only talking to Adam.

"When I arrived at the place where I found this mirror, a monster was guarding it." Dean leaned back and pulled up his blood-stained pirate shirt, dressing his wound. "I thought I would have to run my way out after snatching the mirror, but what I didn't think was that the monster not only stopped making trouble for me after I took the mirror, it even went to one corner and sat, trembling like a leaf."

"Then, it was afraid?" Adam couldn't find any other reason for the monster to tremble. He pushed up his glasses and frowned.

Dean nodded. "That's right. So we won't have to fight our way out for the third time and get injured."

Adam sighed in relief, but he was still someone who wasn't aware of his two companions' affair. He just opened his big mouth to make trouble again. "Otherwise, the next one in line to get injured would be me. Say, Stanley, would you take care of me just like you did for Dean?"

Dean's face instantly darkened at this. His fingers curled in the form of a tight fist as he glared at Adam. Even Tyler couldn't help but face-palm himself. Everything was fine until this man with glasses opened his mouth. They were just fine pretending that nothing happened. Why did he have to say such a thing?
