After Transmigrating into a Book, I Had a Flash Marriage with the Beautiful Crazy Villain - Chapter 28

For a moment, Chu Ling felt like her brain was about to explode. Not only that, but she also wanted to blow up the entire Earth, reducing everything to silence.

It would still be better than being forced to endure Song Qingyi’s meaningful gaze and listening to Qiu Shuang’s outrageous, life-disregarding remarks.

Chu Ling finally realized that every time she met Qiu Shuang, some unexpected situation would arise. Last time, Song Qingyi had nearly mistaken her for cheating, and this time, Qiu Shuang herself was delivering a direct blow to her face.

She must be fundamentally incompatible with Qiu Shuang and her partner.

That was the thought that flashed through Chu Ling’s mind otherwise, there was no explanation for why every encounter with her spiraled into such bizarre directions.

Yet Qiu Shuang remained completely oblivious to Chu Ling’s expression, enthusiastically promoting her best friend to Song Qingyi with exaggerated praise, making Chu Ling sound like a one-in-a-million rarity.

Though it was true that every person in this world was unique and irreplaceable, hearing Qiu Shuang’s over-the-top flattery still made Chu Ling’s toes curl in embarrassment.

Seriously, someone please take this woman away,

Enough already!

“Huh? Lingling, why is your face so red? Are you hot? Or feeling unwell?”

Then, with a sly shift of her eyes, she turned to Song Qingyi. “Ah, Sister Song, you wouldn’t know, but our Lingling’s health isn’t the best. She used to get sick all the time, it was so pitiful.”

Chu Ling’s pupils trembled violently.

Seriously, sis? Now you’re just making things up?!

But Song Qingyi seemed to believe it, her brows furrowing slightly. “What kind of illness? Is she better now?”

Song Qingyi recalled the past and thought Qiu Shuang’s words weren’t entirely impossible. After all, Chu Ling had once ended up in the hospital from eating takeout her health really didn’t seem great.

Qiu Shuang thought for a moment. “Actually, I don’t know what illness it was. I haven’t heard about any relapses lately.

“I remember when we were kids, there was a period when she kept fainting. After waking up, she’d forget things. Medical tests showed nothing unusual, and it stopped happening as she grew older.”

Song Qingyi’s fingers twitched slightly, an inexplicable emotion stirring in her chest.

She glanced at Chu Ling and saw that even she looked utterly shockedclearly, she remembered none of it.

Could this be the reason?

Could this be why Chu Ling had forgotten her?

But no matter the reason, Song Qingyi refused to forgive her.

They had promised each other to stay together when they grew up. Chu Ling had even sworn she would never leave her.

Yet she had broken that promise. She had forgotten everything. She had made a vow and then discarded it. So…

No matter what methods she had to use now, she would bind Chu Ling to her side. She wanted to see her day and night, ensuring she could never escape again.

She would watch her every moment, never letting her slip out of sight. After all, Chu Ling had a history of betrayal, Song Qingyi would never trust her so easily again.

A shadow of something unreadable flickered in Song Qingyi’s eyes. “I see, How pitiful!”

Qiu Shuang sensed something off about her tone, but when she looked at Song Qingyi’s face, she saw unmistakable concern in her eyes.

It felt strange.

But, she actually cared about Chu Ling!

Qiu Shuang’s eyes sparkled slightly, didn’t this mean Song Qingyi wasn’t entirely indifferent to Chu Ling? She had always said that silly Beibei was quite the catch, if only the girl herself had a bit more self-awareness.

So Qiu Shuang instantly winked and nudged Chu Ling, signaling her to seize the opportunity.

Chu Ling sighed helplessly and hurried to explain.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense. I’ve told you before, right? She’s just overly dramatic, totally unreliable.”

Qiu Shuang protested indignantly, “Hey!”

Chu Ling ignored her completely, her sole focus on convincing Song Qingyi. The sincerity in her eyes was practically overflowing.

Song Qingyi noticed and smiled faintly, her eyes curving slightly. “Oh? I actually think, what your friend said didn’t sound fake at all.”

Chu Ling leaned back in shock—Seriously, sis? You believe that?

Song Qingyi’s expression confirmed that she truly did.

Chu Ling was at a loss for words. She glared at Qiu Shuang. “Just stop talking. How can stuffing your face still not shut you up?”

Qiu Shuang gasped dramatically. “You’re being mean to me, you silly Beibei!”

Chu Ling: “I’m not.”

“You are!”

“Really, I’m not.”

Qiu Shuang fell silent, but her eyes bore into Chu Ling, clearly conveying one message:

Yes, you are!

Chu Ling rubbed her temples, wondering how Fang Manwen had managed to keep Qiu Shuang so well-behaved. Dealing with her just gave her a headache. From this angle, Fang Manwen really was impressive no matter how you looked at it.

Seeing that Qiu Shuang was still glaring stubbornly, Chu Ling finally relented. “Fine, I’m sorry.”

Qiu Shuang huffed smugly. “You actually dared to be mean to me! But I wasn’t wrong, you really did have that weird condition back then. Auntie Chu and Auntie Qiao were so worried they almost thought you were gonna kick the bucket.”

Chu Ling hesitated. “Wait, really?”

Qiu Shuang looked dead serious, making it hard to doubt her.

But that made sense Chu Ling genuinely didn’t know. After all, she had only transmigrated into this body a month ago.

“Of course it’s true! Why would I lie? If you don’t believe me, go ask your moms. Back then, I wanted to hang out with you, but they told me you were sick. Everything after that was stuff my mom told me.”

Qiu Shuang rambled on while stuffing her face, spilling everything she knew like a leaky funnel, completely forgetting there was an “outsider” present.

Song Qingyi listened quietly, her grip tightening the more she heard.

If this was really the reason, then she had she gone too far?

Every moment she spent with Chu Ling now felt like it was stolen through her own despicable actions.

But even if it was stolen, she didn’t want to let go. As long as she kept it hidden from Chu Ling, it would be fine.

Song Qingyi lowered her gaze, concealing the turbulent emotions beneath, ensuring neither of them noticed.

Meanwhile, Qiu Shuang finally seemed to remember Song Qingyi’s presence and let out an awkward chuckle. “But you’re definitely fine now! Don’t worry.”

Ugh, overdoing it gotta fix this. What if I scare her off?!

She then turned to Song Qingyi and added, “Sis Song, don’t mind what I just said. Ling might’ve had issues before, but she’s perfectly healthy now. At the very least, she remembers the people she likes very clearly!”

Chu Ling choked violently, coughing so hard it startled both of them.

Song Qingyi reacted swiftly, immediately stepping over to pat her back and help her catch her breath, then casually pouring a cup of warm water for her. “Drink it slowly,” she said.

Chu Ling took the cup and slowly finished the water, the pain in her throat finally easing somewhat.

“I’m alive again, Thank you, Song Qingyi.”

Song Qingyi shook her head. “No need. Be careful, why eat so fast? It’s not like we’re in a hurry.”

Chu Ling nodded sheepishly, not daring to admit that most of the reason was because she’d been startled by Qiu Shuang’s words.

But at least the topic had been diverted. Chu Ling shot Qiu Shuang a covert glare, only to find her propping her chin in deep thought, which left her speechless.

The reason Qiu Shuang was lost in thought was because she’d made a startling discovery.

This Miss Song seemed unusually tense about everything concerning Chu Ling, and her attention toward her was somewhat excessive. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have reacted so quickly when something happened to Chu Ling.

Her movements were even so natural, and her care so thorough and considerate!

This was just all kinds of suspicious!

Yet when she looked back at Chu Ling, the girl seemed completely oblivious, accepting Song Qingyi’s care as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

These two…

Were they playing some kind of lovers’ game?

Qiu Shuang’s head was full of question marks. She couldn’t understand how Chu Ling still hadn’t noticed such an obvious mutual attraction.

Should she say something?

Qiu Shuang hesitated, then abruptly met Song Qingyi’s gaze. She froze instantly and abandoned the idea.

Okay, maybe she shouldn’t interfere in this.

That look from Song Qingyi was downright terrifying not that she was scared, of course. She just felt it wasn’t her place to meddle. Good things take time; let them figure it out on their own.

(Of course, she definitely wasn’t scared.)

Qiu Shuang pretended to casually avert her eyes, then pulled out her phone and sent Fang Manwen a distress signal:

[Emergency! Come quick, save me!]

Then she put her phone down and obediently resumed eating.

Chu Ling noticed that after her suspicious bout of deep thought, Qiu Shuang had suddenly turned docile and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s up with you? You being this well-behaved is making me uncomfortable.”

Qiu Shuang flashed a mysterious smile. “Haha, what are you talking about? When have I ever not been well-behaved? Hurry up and eat, no talking during meals, it’ll give you indigestion!”

Chu Ling gave her a skeptical look, like an old man squinting at his phone on the subway. “Are you serious? Since when do you care about ‘no talking while eating or sleeping’?”

Qiu Shuang immediately picked up on the keyword, her eyes snapping up. “‘Also’? Who else does that?”

Chu Ling sighed. “As expected of you, your gossip radar is as sharp as ever.”

“So who is it?”

Qiu Shuang suddenly felt reinvigorated.

Chu Ling glanced at Song Qingyi and dodged the question. “Why so nosy? Gossiping about everything will be the death of you. Control yourself.”

Qiu Shuang grew impatient. “Gossiping about everything keeps me well-nourished! Spill it, you little brat.”

Chu Ling shook her head. “There’s nothing to say. This isn’t even gossip, I can’t believe you’re interested.”

Just as Qiu Shuang was about to press further, Song Qingyi unexpectedly chimed in, “If you want gossip, why not ask me?”

Qiu Shuang stiffened.

Seriously, sis? Do I look like I’d dare?

She silently lowered her head and started shoveling food into her mouth, saying nothing more.

Chu Ling was amazed and gave Song Qingyi a thumbs-up.

A joyous occasion aside from Fang Manwen, there was finally someone else who could keep Qiu Shuang in check.

Chu Ling couldn’t help but sigh. Her fearless friend, who feared nothing in the world, had finally met her match.

But perhaps this was for the best. At least Qiu Shuang wouldn’t be foolish enough to provoke Song Qingyi anymore, she’d be safe!

However, she had underestimated Qiu Shuang. The docile act was just a facade. The moment Fang Manwen arrived, the young miss suddenly regained her boldness, as if she now had a powerful backer.

Though not entirely bold.

To be precise, she was only bold toward Chu Ling.

Chu Ling was left speechless, watching as Fang Manwen indulgingly ruffled Qiu Shuang’s hair with a smile, while Qiu Shuang didn’t resist at all, instead, she wore an expression of pure contentment. Chu Ling’s face twisted into a complicated grimace.

Had this woman already forgotten what happened last time?

Clearly, Qiu Shuang hadn’t taken it to heart. After all, the first person she thought of was Fang Manwen.

When Fang Manwen received the message, her first thought was that Qiu Shuang was causing trouble again. But upon arriving, she found that, surprisingly, Qiu Shuang wasn’t stirring up drama except,

Her gaze shifted to Song Qingyi, her brow lifting slightly before turning to Chu Ling. “Miss Chu, we meet again. What a small world.”

Chu Ling forced a dry laugh. “Ahaha, yeah really small.”

Fang Manwen’s smile deepened. “And this is?”

She seemed to have completely forgotten their brief encounter last time, asking about Song Qingyi’s identity with perfect poise.

Chu Ling was done.

She realized now, Qiu Shuang was a troublemaker, but Fang Manwen was no better. Her entire demeanor screamed I live for drama, and honestly, the two of them were a match made in heaven.

With a sigh, Chu Ling was about to introduce them when Song Qingyi spoke coolly, “Song Qingyi. Chu Ling’s lawful wife.”

Her tone seemed to emphasize the word lawful, making Chu Ling shiver.

Fang Manwen was momentarily taken aback but quickly recovered with a smile. “Ah, I see. The two of you make a lovely pair.”

Song Qingyi’s expression softened slightly, and the atmosphere eased.

But this was all just Chu Ling’s illusion.

She wasn’t sure if she was imagining it, but after Fang Manwen arrived, she and Qiu Shuang started tag-teaming, reviving the earlier topic.

“So, the two of you haven’t actually, done it yet? What a shame!”

Here we go again. Fang Manwen was even more blunt than Qiu Shuang. Chu Ling was utterly defenseless, her face burning red in an instant.

The worst decision she’d made today was agreeing to come with Song Qingyi!
