I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 778

Chapter 160: Promises and Punishments

Apologies and compensations.

For the past week, indulging in pleasures with Charlotte and Alice behind their backs was undeniably my fault.

Nothing to argue about.

Even if Charlotte and the others were disappointed, furious, or called me a scumbag, I would take it.

However, the so-called punishment turned into a joke.

Replaying everything I did this week for their esteemed, proud selves seemed nothing short of absurd.

If any man viewed this as a punishment, either he’s got issues upstairs or downstairs.

But up until now, I’ve started to sense the profound unease beneath the so-called compensation.

The pleasures of the flesh were undeniably real; every moment spent close to the girls was sheer enjoyment.

Yet, inside me, there was no trace of desire left, only bitter shame.

Letting this continue, crossing that line, would undoubtedly lead to immense joy.

For me, the so-called apologies and compensations were just a blood profit.

But what about them?

With uneasy hearts, they leaned in to please me, like victims grasping at straws in the dark, humble yet full of longing.

This was even more tragic than Alice’s previous self-sacrifice under the guise of saving herself.

Wasn’t it cruel to leave them with such a first time?

“You don’t have to do this.”

I dodged the kisses from Xue Nuo and Leanna, then reached out to stop the little red cat from getting too close.

Charlotte’s eyes flickered, seemingly anxious: “Why…”

“Alice can, but we can’t?”

Feeling more sadness than anger, I realized that the once mighty princess now resembled a cat abandoned in the cold wind, biting her lip tightly, on the verge of tears.

After all, she wasn’t angry at all.

Tears were about to spill from her beautiful ruby eyes, but I caught them first with a kiss.

“Quite the opposite, I want to, I’m about to go crazy wanting it, can’t you see that?”

I wasn’t lying.

Since earlier, Charlotte had already sensed my heat and fervor.

“But precisely because you all matter to me as much as Alice, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

“Eh?”

Seeing the puzzled looks in their eyes, I solemnly promised: “I can’t change the order; no matter how I choose, someone will come up short. But I swear I’ll give all of you a perfect first time.”

“This week’s secret was my debt to you, not the other way around, so after the first time, I’ll give you all the compensation you want, just—it’s not happening now.”

“It shouldn’t be like this; it shouldn’t be filled with unease and compromise but rather a perfect first time that brings you true happiness and unforgettable memories.”

That was my answer.

The moonlight softly poured down, illuminating eyes that sparkled more splendidly than jewels.

The princess’s eyes were wet yet no longer filled with sorrow.

The witch stopped her fawning smile and instead froze at that moment, clutching her chest.

A gentle breeze lifted her shimmering silver hair, the snow-white cheeks flushed a light pink, but it was no longer shameful; only warmth and affection remained, even more beautiful than the moonlight.

I smiled slightly: “Are you satisfied with this answer?”

“…Since you’ve said so, I’ll graciously let you off this time.”

“Aw.” Leanna pouted, seeming wistful: “If it weren’t for certain people being here, I could have had my perfect first time right now?”

“Still, let’s cooperate with our junior tonight.”

“Agreed.” Xue Nuo nodded beside her.

“I’ll remember everything from tonight.” First, Xue Nuo squinted as if savoring something lovely, then suddenly grew serious: “But if you go back on your word…”

Leanna clapped her hands, smiling amiably as if discussing dinner: “Then we’ll just share you, okay?”

My smile froze for a moment.

The air echoed with the witch’s laughter: “Just kidding, look how scared you are! Don’t worry, even the princess wouldn’t want to hurt you.”

“Hmm! I just didn’t want to break him…”

What sort of joke was that about sharing, huh?!

Though I had no intention of breaking my promise, after this, I somehow felt a sense of urgency and started considering how to prepare that perfect first time that would meet their expectations.

The fact that Charlotte and the others were willing to maintain this polyamorous relationship was quite impressive.

I couldn’t make them sad any longer.

Having already bound myself with Alice, I couldn’t neglect what I owed to the others.

Not compensation, but the obligation that a man chosen by them should fulfill.

After the playful antics, we bathed in the fragrance of the girls, sharing a bed.

As the moonlight melted into the night, I suddenly heard Charlotte’s whisper.

Trembling, still a bit uneasy, I confirmed.

“I thought you’d leave us behind after being with Alice.”

So that’s why you guys were in such a hurry to catch up with her.

I deeply realized how much psychological burden I had unknowingly placed on them.

“…….I’m sorry.”

“Forget the apologies.”

In the dark, the red-haired girl lay close, no longer resentful or sorrowful: “I already know the answer now, anyway.”

In the serene night, her shy yet hopeful smile flowed like the most generous emotion a girl could offer.

Hope.

The princess, rarely shedding her shyness, faced me with a flushed face and whispered: “I’ll look forward to that first time, okay?”

“Yeah, I won’t keep you waiting long.”

This relationship could last this long largely due to Charlotte’s tacit approval. My bond with Alice had also dealt her the greatest blow.

Carrying gratitude and guilt, I gently kissed her, the best reply for a girl.

“Oh my, looks like someone’s been sneaking some dessert?”

“Questioning. Goodnight kisses should only be for one, fairness is key.”

Feeling the chill creeping in from either side, I could only smile bitterly, giving both girls equal gifts before we drifted to sleep together.

…

…

I have no regrets about this decision.

As their beloved, I should give them a beautiful, unforgettable first time rather than force them to compromise.

But doing what’s right in spirit is one thing; bodily complaints are quite another!

Though the three girls slept soundly, I was wide awake, eyes bulging, my expression as serious as it has ever been.

I was careless!

With warm, fragrant bodies beside me, there was no need for flirting; time alone would stir up desires, making little Roy excited!

I couldn’t even force myself to sleep.

I had never hated my ability to stay awake as much as I did now.

I just promised to give a perfect first time; how could I suddenly act with the sleeping girls?! I just said a bunch of nice things; I couldn’t break my promise that night, right?!

No, I had to keep my act together, no matter what!

A real man keeps his word!

“One sheep, two sheep, three sheep…”

As dawn broke, bloodshot eyes on a face devoid of hope, I faced the new day.

Though the previously agreed-upon apologies and compensations were temporarily postponed, tonight’s desirable torment served as a fitting punishment for a scumbag, enough to be excruciating and impeccable.
