A Top-Tier Green Tea Actress Enters a Dating Reality Show - Chapter 31

Meng Ziqing was held in Qin Yue’s arms, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.

“Qin Yue…” Meng Ziqing instinctively called her name, her eyes still a little dazed.

“Don’t speak…” Qin Yue hugged her even tighter, her body trembling more severely than Meng Ziqing’s. “Let me hold you for a bit longer.”

She seemed to be confirming, confirming Meng Ziqing’s existence, “Just a bit longer.”

Qin Yue buried her head between Meng Ziqing’s neck and shoulder. She was sobbing uncontrollably, and her warm tears fell onto Meng Ziqing’s neck. Her heart pounded heavily, fast and clear, making Meng Ziqing feel numb, and a subtle sensation began to spread in her heart.

Meng Ziqing’s face was painful; after the numbness came a fiery, stinging sensation, which, combined with the subtle feeling rising in her heart, gave her a sense of suffocation.

She didn’t know what to do. She could only, a little foolishly, clutch at the corner of Qin Yue’s clothes. Her nose felt sore, and her breathing was labored.

“Qin Yue…” She called out disobediently, her lips quivering. After a long pause, her voice was tiny, “I’m sorry…”

“You’re saying you’re sorry now, but what were you thinking when you followed them away?” Qin Yue’s voice was muffled. “You didn’t think of me, and you didn’t even think of yourself.”

“You were too reckless.”

“If you don’t love me, why don’t you love yourself?” Qin Yue asked the question that had been baffling her.

Qin Yue had absolutely no idea how she had gotten through the last few hours.

At first, when she found out Meng Ziqing had been kidnapped, her mind completely shut down; she was blank, and every action was done instinctively. But once she had time to think, images of… Meng Ziqing’s death began to surface constantly in her mind.

She didn’t even need to close her eyes; she could see Meng Ziqing dead in a pool of blood, covered in injuries, her body showing no signs of breathing.

Gone was the vibrant person from the morning, replaced by a body covered with a white sheet.

Qin Yue clenched her fists. Currently, the hot search was topped by Gu Corporation CEO Kidnapping and Murder#. Who knew about this incident? Right now, besides her and Meng Ziqing, the person involved, even Meng Ziqing’s own father didn’t know.

Who was responsible for this? She didn’t want to think about it, but the answer was clearly laid out before her.

It was Meng Ziqing.

It was Meng Ziqing; she walked into the danger herself; she used herself as bait!

“Why, why don’t you love others, and why don’t you love yourself?” Qin Yue took a deep breath and asked, her head buried in Meng Ziqing’s neck.

Her soft, warm lips pressed against Meng Ziqing’s fair neck, sending a shiver of numbness through her, and Meng Ziqing’s breathing hitched. That feeling of suffocation finally surged up.

“I…”

“Qin Yue… I’m sorry…” She stammered, offering a dry apology.

She was like a fish dragged from the water. Land is not a fish’s habitat, and just as a fish will die in an environment lacking water, Meng Ziqing would drown in love.

She had transmigrated into this book, and this world held no sense of belonging for her. This was the source of her “fairy-like aura.” In the over a month since transmigrating, she had never viewed this world as real.

She treated this world as a game; completing the mission would earn her a reward. As for whether she liked Qin Yue, of course she did, but this liking was similar to liking a game NPC.

She liked Qin Yue and could give her everything, as long as Qin Yue liked her too, allowing her to complete the mission and obtain vast wealth for her future life of gaming.

Life is long. Would Qin Yue fall in love with her in three months?

Probably not.

They were both adults. It was just a mutual play of pretense for some fun. How could it possibly last a lifetime?

And now, what Meng Ziqing thought was impossible had happened.

Although Qin Yue was asking why Meng Ziqing didn’t love herself, the underlying message was: Meng Ziqing, my liking has changed its nature; I love you.

It seemed Qin Yue had fallen in love with her.

In what Meng Ziqing considered a game world, someone was clearly telling her that there was a person in this world who cared about her deeply.

Was this world still fake?

Was Qin Yue still an NPC?

Her consistent player mentality collapsed.

Meng Ziqing had never experienced this feeling—it was unfamiliar, yet fiery. She was somewhat afraid of it, but also wanted to reach out and touch it.

Someone loved her, sigh. It was terrifying, and she wanted it so badly.

“Qin Yue…”

Qin Yue’s embrace hurt her a little. Qin Yue’s strength was so great it was as if she wanted to crush her into her bones. Meng Ziqing couldn’t push her away.

Just as she had aggressively barged into Qin Yue’s life, she couldn’t push the current Qin Yue away. She called out Qin Yue’s name again in a low voice and finally settled down obediently.

Allowing Qin Yue to hold her like this, slowly, she began to feel a sense of security.

Meng Ziqing hugged Qin Yue back and slowly closed her eyes.

It wasn’t until the police carried Gu Yang out of the abandoned factory on a stretcher that Qin Yue slightly calmed her mind. Only then did she loosen her embrace on Meng Ziqing.

“Jiejie, I didn’t mean to,” Meng Ziqing licked her lips and said.

“Mm…”

Qin Yue responded. Residual shock remained in her cool eyes. She trembled as she reached out to touch Meng Ziqing’s swollen, red face. She wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

“Miss Qin, Miss Meng still needs to go to the hospital for a physical examination,” a police officer reminded them at this moment.

Qin Yue took a deep breath and gently pushed the Meng Ziqing in her arms away. “Go ahead. Follow the police.”

“What about you?” Meng Ziqing was stunned, her heart sinking. “Aren’t you coming with me?”

“You’re an adult; you can go by yourself.” Qin Yue pursed her lips, her cool eyes looking somewhat indifferent and cold.

“But I’m scared.” Meng Ziqing quickly grabbed the corner of Qin Yue’s clothes. A panic she had never shown before appeared in her bright, pure black eyes. “I’m afraid of hospitals. Jiejie, please accompany me.”

“You’re not afraid…” Qin Yue impatiently shook off her hand. Meng Ziqing was fine now. She didn’t want to look at this face. She was tired.

After the extreme tension, the sudden relief allowed exhaustion to flood in. Qin Yue was truly tired now. She just wanted to go home, collapse into bed, and self-indulgently sleep for a day and a night.

“You’re not afraid of anything. Go by yourself.”

“But you hit me, so you have to take responsibility.” Meng Ziqing blinked, pointing to her cheek, the only part of her that counted as a “serious injury.”

“Jiejie, hitting someone is against the law.” Meng Ziqing shamelessly grabbed Qin Yue again. Qin Yue was very angry right now, so she absolutely could not go to the hospital alone. “Don’t leave me.”

“Jiejie, I’m afraid of the dark, I’m afraid of hospitals, and I’m afraid of pain. Jiejie, I’m scared.” Meng Ziqing choked up, her eyes brimming with tears. As the tears streamed down, her dusty, exquisite, and pretty face was streaked like a crying cat. “Jiejie, please don’t leave me.”

“I don’t want to leave Jiejie.”

“Jiejie, please come with me, okay?”

She tightly gripped Qin Yue’s hand, her eyes flashing with stubbornness.
