Chapter 71: Becoming One
Li Zhen was first mentally struck by Qian, then violently kicked by Yu Minglang. Li Zhen was half-kneeling by the door, only to see Yu Minglang pointing at him with authority.
"If I catch you clinging to my girl again, I’ll confiscate your crime tools!"
Li Zhen’s eyes were still dazed as Qian peeked from behind Yu Minglang, explaining in terms used within the gay community.
"He said, he’ll make you switch from top to bottom!"
Li Zhen’s rear tightened, and he gulped.
At this moment, Yu Minglang and Chen Xiaoqian seemed to merge into one.
It’s said, men are half gentlemen, half animals, and women are half angels, half devils. So when Yu Minglang meets Chen Xiaoqian, and when they join forces to trick others, it’s a mix of half animal and half devil...
Li Zhen just had the most brutal lesson of his life.
Qian stood at the window, watching Li Zhen stumble away, expressionless.
"It’s all over now; they won’t hurt you anymore," Yu Minglang said from behind her.
Qian shook her head, "Boring."
"What?"
"Yu Minglang, have you ever hated something so much that you wanted to madly hit back?"
"...No, but I guess there are many who hate me and want to hit back at me."
Qian rolled her eyes, you bad guy!
"Actually, revenge is a really meaningless act. If you don’t achieve your goal, you eagerly expect their misfortune. But even when they do fall into bad luck, it’s not that interesting. Revenge is emptiness once completed, and frustrating if not. No matter the choice, it’s never satisfying."
What is lost is ultimately lost and can never be compensated.
Qian actually didn’t have a major grudge against Li Zhen. When Ni Jianren kidnapped Xiaowei, she had already broken up with Li Zhen. Li Zhen’s real impact on her was still limited.
Now Ni Jianren has been caught, facing legal punishment, lost his job, and his future is ruined. Yet the hole in Qian’s heart still won’t be filled.
Qian suddenly wanted to wash her hands.
Her OCD seemed to have improved a lot since Yu Minglang spoke the last time about cherishing the kind-hearted child within her.
However, it flared up again at this moment.
Yu Minglang saw her say a few words, then suddenly headed straight to the bathroom, realizing something, he immediately followed.
Just as expected, she began to wash her hands expressionlessly again.
Yu Minglang remembered, the doctor said the best way to deal with hand-washing OCD is silent companionship, so while Qian was washing, he stood beside her without a word. Qian only washed a few times, but his burning gaze kept her from continuing.
"What are you doing?"
His eyes were so bright, like two strong light bulbs, they forcefully pulled Qian out from her gloomy mood.
"Looking at you, you’re beautiful."
Qian’s face warmed up, and she couldn’t continue washing, reaching out and flicking his face, the water droplets splashing onto him.
"Smooth talker."
"I’m just expressing my true feelings; you’re truly beautiful. Your face is beautiful, and your hands are beautiful too. Such lovely hands, washing them until they’re chapped, it pains me."
Yu Minglang confessed successfully—as long as he considered it a success—it was indeed a success. After success, the thickness of his skin grew with each cheesy line, and the instinct once awakened, is unstoppable.
With someone like this talking nearby, it’s strange she could keep washing.
Qian stopped washing, Yu Minglang watched feeling tempted, wanting to steal another kiss. But recalling she had already rated his kissing skills poorly, he had to hold back, planning to check some resources and brush up on his skills before heading back to the dating scene!
"Take me home!!"
With a guy like this around, even OCD could morph into awkward syndrome.
That wife-gazing maniac’s look, even the strongest female boss couldn’t withstand it. After all, Qian is still someone who cares about appearances, while Yu Minglang has taken "shamelessness is invincible" to the extreme...
Sending Qian home, as she prepared to get out, Yu Minglang clutched her wrist, saying nothing, looking ahead with a rather serious expression.
"What?"
"I’ll sort out your dad’s matter in the next couple of days. You should stay safe at home, and when the day you arranged with Zheng Xu arrives, call me."
"You have time?" Qian truly didn’t underestimate him.
As people say, time is like water in a sponge, squeeze and it’s always there. Yu Minglang’s time is like an empty toothpaste tube, tearing it open won’t get even a bit out.
"You call my mobile. If it’s off, leave a message on the landline I gave you. If I’m out on business, look for Hai Zhao—Hai Zhao is slick, but that guy is quite proper. He knows not to mess with his friend’s wife; he has his limits."
"Who’s your wife?"
"Fiancée is also a wife." The title has been set, how could he allow her to retreat?
Qian glared at him, "Your skin is thicker than city walls. You’re only in the trial period now, and if you don’t perform well, you’ll be replaced anytime."
It nearly made Yu Minglang melt with delight.
She pushed him aside, quickly got out of the car, and tried to open the door — tragedy struck...
Probably her mom got up to go to the restroom and found the door wasn’t shut, and casually locked it.
After all, besides the young rogue brother climbing walls to go online at night, good kid Chen Xiaoqian wouldn’t be out at midnight. Jia Xiufang had never thought of this.
But even good kids can be led astray by bad boys like him, Qian looked at the door and sighed helplessly, remembering her tragic experience last time of climbing back home with that bunch of "motherly love."
"Can’t get in?" He followed her out of the car.
"And you’re still bold enough to mention it?" A trial period guy, yet so brazen?
He chuckled softly, "I’ll help you."
Qian waited silently, but after he spoke, he did nothing. She looked at him puzzled, asking for help, where is it?
He extended his hand, pointed to his own face.
We do good deeds without leaving a name, just leave a kiss.
Qian didn’t feel like paying attention to this bad guy, scrambling up the wall herself, stomping hard upwards~
Without you, the rotten egg Minglang, she’d have still made Sponge Cake!
"Stubborn girl." Yu Minglang suddenly held her waist, pulled her over, and planted a kiss on her forehead. Then, holding her waist, with a slight effort, he lifted her up!
Such arm strength, lifting a girl weighing dozens of pounds, was very easy.
The walls that were initially high seemed easy to reach as he did that, simple enough for her to get onto them. Standing on the door, the feeling was truly...
Indescribable, really happy, as if life has reached its peak, with hacks everywhere, flying when you want.
Yu Minglang stood below, waving at Qian.
"Today’s wages, I’ll owe you first and settle it later."
Later...ugh! Qian immediately thought of something unpleasant, crawling through her window into her attic, then standing there, flipping him off, closing the window decisively, blocking out his mischievous smile.
Yu Minglang is truly a bad guy!
