ALL NOVEL Chapter 83 - The Story
Pan Xiaoxuan said, “The day after the girl left F University, a virus suddenly broke out in the world. My friend felt that the virus infection was too unusual, so she didn’t believe the news and decided to stay at the school. She planned to head to the military base in the western district. Then, on the way, she ran into Su Qianying. Although they didn’t know each other before, because they were both heading to report to the military, they ended up being assigned to the same dorm.”
“Mm.”
“Without the girl’s interference, Su Qianying quickly got together with Fan Yunjiang. Fan Yunjiang awakened his ice-type ability, and among the group of people who had emerged from the school, those with powerful abilities stood out. After that, Su Xianying really showcased her ability to focus and make things happen. She always managed to navigate between different men without being discovered by Fan Yunjiang, making each of them fall completely in love with her…”
Tang Ruo nodded. “And then?”
Pan Xiaoxuan silently shifted her position a little, moving slightly farther from Tang Ruo. “After they arrived at the new base in the western district, my friend found her family and left the dorm. But today, my friend happened to run into Su Qianying on the street, and she noticed that Su Qianying seemed to have developed an interest in another man in the base. Actually, Su Qianying has a relentless spirit. If she doesn’t get something, she will chase it down persistently. And the man she’s interested in now is precisely the fiancé of the girl who, before her engagement, was supposed to go to H City to stab him but ended up living quite well with him after the engagement…”
Tang Ruo: “…”
Pan Xiaoxuan carefully observed Tang Ruo’s expression, feeling as though she was about to burn up, her temperature reaching nearly forty degrees, teetering between losing her mind and boiling over. Unable to bear it, she took a fan from her space and handed it to Tang Ruo.
Tang Ruo quickly took it, opened it, and began fanning herself—fanning, fanning, and fanning some more…
Her freshly washed hair fluttered in the wind, and at that moment, she looked to Pan Xiaoxuan like a composed patient from a mental hospital.
Pan Xiaoxuan stood up and cautiously said, “You should know who the girl in the story is, right?”
“Mm,” Tang Ruo replied.
She had already guessed who it was when Pan Xiaoxuan mentioned, “She looks somewhat like you.”
Pan Xiaoxuan said, “I’ve finished the story. Well, I’ll be leaving now…”
“Xiaoxuan,” Tang Ruo took a deep breath, holding the fan. She stood up as well, composed for a moment, then forced a smile, trying to make it appear as normal as possible. “You said before, that whenever the girl from F University finished beating Su Qianying, she was always fine, right?”
Although she was smiling, her expression was dark and somewhat sinister, a combination of elegance and madness, completely contrasting with the beautiful image she had presented when she had come downstairs earlier.
Pan Xiaoxuan silently took half a step back and said, “Yes, that’s right. Su Qianying… um, she must be very experienced with getting beaten, so, uh, it’s late. I’ll leave now…”
Tang Ruo personally saw Pan Xiaoxuan to the door. Watching her walk out, Tang Ruo said, “Xiaoxuan, thank you.”
Pan Xiaoxuan noticed her serious demeanor, fully awake now, and smiled. “We’re teammates, and we can be friends too. Although that girl wasn’t very bright here…” She pointed to her head. “I really liked her fiery temper, always ready to fight when she disagreed.”
Tang Ruo: “…”
The person who isn’t sharp-minded is not me, not me…
She silently repeated the important matter in her mind three times, then smiled. “Mm, thank you for the story, my good friend.”
After seeing Pan Xiaoxuan off, Tang Ruo returned to the bedroom upstairs. Facing Bai Qi, she once again felt a touch of madness in her heart. Unable to resist, she took out the fan, opened it, and began fanning herself—fanning, fanning, and fanning again…
Bai Qi: “…”
He got up from the bed, took her fan, and began fanning her. “Hot?”
Tang Ruo paced back and forth in the room, hands behind her back. When she turned her head, she saw Bai Qi had been following her. She managed to calm her irritated heart.
Yes, Su Qianying was being overly sentimental and had no business interfering with her and Bai Qi. The way that girl behaved was something even Tang Ruo herself couldn’t tolerate, let alone Bai Qi.
If she comes back and shamelessly bothers me again, I’ll throw a sack over her and give her a good beating!
After thinking it through, Tang Ruo felt as though she had reached a state of enlightenment, like an immortal disciple stepping onto the path of cultivation. Her mind instantly became clear.
But…
Tang Ruo sat down on the edge of the bed. “Um, Bai Yan… there’s something I need to report to you…”
“Mm, go ahead,” Bai Qi came over and sat down, casually touching her face. “Even if you tell me you’ve gone astray, I’d still climb the wall to wait for you.”
Tang Ruo: “…”
Tang Ruo: “Were you familiar with me before, um, the ‘me’ that was still at F University?”
Bai Qi thought for a moment. “We met a few times, but we weren’t close.”
Tang Ruo said, “Then why did you come to, well, get engaged to me, the ‘me’ at F University?”
Bai Qi: “Because my grandfather and your grandfather both left messages in their wills. As long as we get engaged, then our families can each inherit part of their estates.”
That’s why they both went to such lengths to make sure that engagement banquet happened.
Since Bai Qi wasn’t familiar with the past life of her body, Tang Ruo decided to repeat the story Pan Xiaoxuan told her to Bai Qi.
Once upon a time, there was a girl who, for her boyfriend at F University, had a major confrontation with a girl named Su. When she encountered a fiancé in her family, the girl resolutely declared that she would kill her fiancé first and then elope with her boyfriend…
…
After the apocalypse, Su Qianying sought refuge with the military and ended up at the base, and now she had set her sights on the girl’s current fiancé.
Bai Qi listened quietly, then slowly said, “Hmm, so do you know that girl who wanted to kill her fiancé and elope with her lover?”
Tang Ruo decisively answered, “I absolutely don’t know her!”
“Mm.” Bai Qi nodded. “Then it has nothing to do with us. Just treat the story as a story.”
After reporting this matter to Bai Qi, Tang Ruo felt relieved, and naturally, the next step was to go to sleep.
Bai Qi lowered his hand, pulled her into his arms, and rolled over to press down on her. “Today, the way you looked when you were jealous was really cute.”
Tang Ruo mumbled, “You just said earlier that I belong to you, and then someone come over here and steal from me. I’m definitely going to give her a piece of my mind.”
Bai Qi chuckled, lowered his head, and kissed her. “Xiao Ruo, I really like the way you trust me without any reservations.”
Clothes were discarded, bodies intertwined.
One bloomed like a flower for him, captivating everyone.
One willingly fell into a web of love for her, unable to escape.
Beneath the shallow desires, there were two hearts deeply attached to one another.
As the first light of dawn appeared, Bai Qi woke up. The temperature difference between day and night was large, and he was accustomed to waking up at this time to cover Tang Ruo with a blanket.
However, when he opened his eyes today, he found the little bunny who had been curled up in his arms was gone.
Bai Qi was startled and immediately got up to put on clothes.
“Xiao Ruo…” Bai Qi called out in the bedroom.
No response.
The third floor was all bedroom space, with the swimming pool and gym also located within the bedroom area. Bai Qi walked around a large jade screen and found Tang Ruo, who was sitting at the desk in what could be called a study, completely engrossed in her work.
“Xiao Ruo…” Bai Qi called again, walking over. “What are you writing so early in the morning?”
Tang Ruo closed the notebook. “Learning some new skills.”
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and pulled the book she had been copying from her hands. “What skills?”
The book was opened to the cover page, and the six big characters “Sharp Tongue, So Smooth at Tearing” stood out in front of Bai Qi’s eyes.
Bai Qi: “…”
Bai Qi calmly placed the book back on the table, then picked up the notebook that Tang Ruo had been covering. “Why copy this?”
Tang Ruo whispered, “I’ve thought about it. It’s likely I’ll encounter Su Qianying in the future, so I should learn a bit.”
“Heh.” Bai Qi put the notebook back on the table. “Why use your mouth? Using your hands is just as good.”
Tang Ruo replied, “We are scholars; we rely on wisdom! Violence can’t solve problems. We need to look beyond the surface and see the essence. We can’t just keep walking down one path!”
Bai Qi: “…”
Bai Qi: “Did you learn that from that book?”
Tang Ruo nodded.
Bai Qi had the urge to facepalm.
I’ll burn this book as soon as possible!
Bai Qi said, “My mistake.”
Tang Ruo was confused.
Bai Qi suddenly picked her up and started walking toward the bed. “It must be because I didn’t try hard enough yesterday, which made you wake up so early today to copy all this stuff.”
Tang Ruo: “…”
