Bullying the Little Beauty [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: The Black Hearted Little Widow in the Battle Royale

Ning Ruan thought for a moment, then lightly licked Jiang Qingfeng’s lips.

The movement was unpracticed, a mere reaction triggered only because it was demanded; everything about it was numb and mechanical.

Jiang Qingfeng felt a surge of blood rush to his head. He couldn’t help but squeeze the back of Ning Ruan’s neck to deepen the kiss. Ning Ruan’s lips were so sweet and soft he felt as if he could never get enough, instinctively plundering everything inside that soft little mouth.

He wanted to devour everything, to swallow Ning Ruan whole.

Ning Ruan was kissed until he could barely breathe, pushing feebly against Jiang Qingfeng. Ugh stop.

It wasn’t just the kissing; Jiang Qingfeng was also pressing hard against him.

By the time Jiang Qingfeng finally finished, Ning Ruan’s clothes were a mess. His oversized T-shirt had been rubbed upward. His eyelashes trembled incessantly, damp with tears. Dazed from the kiss, Ning Ruan clutched the hem of his shirt tightly, looking piteously aggrieved.

His gaze seemed to accuse Jiang Qingfeng: How could you bully me like this?

Baby, stop staring at him.

If he stared any longer, he’d make the dog of a man even harder.

Ning Ruan:

But he made it hurt so much. Am I not even allowed to stare at him?

Qiqi, look, he hurt me so much.

The youth aggrievedly showed the system his swollen lips. His eyes were misty and wet, appearing pure, innocent, and confused.

Baby.

007 couldn’t even finish its sentence before its circuits fried and it went offline. Before 007’s death, it repeatedly urged the substitute system to watch over its baby and not let bad men bully him.

After throwing 007 into the repair shop, the substitute system didn’t forget to give it a few extra kicks. It was finally its turn to lead the baby through the missions!

Baby, baby, baby, here I come!!!

As soon as the substitute system appeared and saw Ning Ruan’s pitiful expression, it felt like it was about to head to the repair shop itself.

Baby, I’m 009. Do you remember me?

Ning Ruan: ?

Ning Ruan nodded obediently first. I remember. You’re Jiujiu.

Then he whispered, Jiujiu, where is Qiqi?

Ning Ruan actually remembered it! 009 couldn’t help but spin two circles in the air.

009 happily gossiped about 007: Baby, that useless 007 had a malfunction halfway through the mission. It’s in the repair shop being fixed right now. It won’t be out for at least ten days or half a month.

Don’t think about that useless 007 anymore, Baby. Jiujiu will take good care of you during the missions.

Ning Ruan nodded obediently. Qiqi had malfunctioned and needed rest; he shouldn’t disturb Qiqi. During this time, he would definitely follow Jiujiu and complete the missions well.

Jiang Qingfeng was still holding Ning Ruan from behind, enjoying what he imagined to be a post-intimacy moment of tenderness.

Just because of one kiss, Jiang Qingfeng had already forgotten his “mad dog” persona from when he was demanding an explanation.

The youth was fragrant and soft, like a tempting little cake.

Jiang Qingfeng asked, “If I died, what would you do?

Would he miss him? Would he think of him the way he thought of those three dead men?

Ning Ruan thought seriously: I’d let Chu Yuan bury you.

Jiang Qingfeng was incredulous.

Wait, wasn’t acting vulnerable supposed to work on Ning Ruan?

Just a moment ago, when he said he was dying and asked Ning Ruan to kiss him, Ning Ruan actually did it.

Besides, that cowardly rat Gu Hui usually used this method of acting weak to get extra attention from Ning Ruan.

Why was it suddenly not working now?

Jiang Qingfeng couldn’t figure it out.

Jiang Qingfeng gave a dry laugh. “Is that all you’d do for me?

Ning Ruan found it baffling. How else was he supposed to treat Jiang Qingfeng? When people die, they have to be buried; otherwise, there would be problems.

I can’t dig a hole myself. I’d definitely have Chu Yuan do it. I won’t dig the grave for you with my own hands.

Jiang Qingfeng:

That made sense. The little widow was too delicate to carry or lift anything.

But being buried by his love rival… the more he thought about it, the more he felt he wouldn’t be able to stay in his coffin even after death.

Then again, looking at the treatment those other three men got, weren’t they also buried by rivals?

Ning Ruan spoke softly, Jiang Qingfeng, I ,I want to make things clear. I kissed you because I want to survive. I don’t care whether you or Chu Yuan survives, but even if you don’t make it, you can’t kill me.

“And if you don’t survive, you can’t come looking for me.” Ning Ruan thought about those men who had been resurrected and didn’t know what to do.

His only hope now was that he wouldn’t run into any of them before he left this world.

Once he left this world, it wouldn’t matter whether they wanted revenge or anything else.

I would be scared, Ning Ruan added in a small voice.

Jiang Qingfeng finally understood why Ning Ruan had allowed him to squeeze his waist and kiss him for so long, and why he was willing to sit and be “tender.”

Ning Ruan simply wanted to tell him clearly that he wanted to live.

His motive was blatant, utilitarian, and cold-blooded.

He even heartlessly told him that he wasn’t allowed to haunt him after death.

He had never seen anyone as heartless as Ning Ruan. How could someone with such a weak and easily bullied face say such cruel things?

If it were the old Jiang Qingfeng, he would likely act calm on the surface, perhaps even gently comfort the other person, saying it was natural to want to live in a battle royale. Then, he would find an opportunity to kill the person who said those words.

But now, facing Ning Ruan, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything like that.

Jiang Qingfeng hugged Ning Ruan’s waist from behind, his tone bitter and pathetic, like a dog about to be abandoned by its master, wagging its tail and begging for a shred of mercy.

But I would miss you.

Ning Ruan looked down, his raven feather lashes drooping slightly. The tips of his lashes brushed against his still-flushed eyelids, trembling. Don’t miss me. You are not allowed to miss me.

Ning Ruan was truly afraid terrified that if Jiang Qingfeng died, he really would come looking for him.

At that moment, near the firewood pile outside the tent, wet footprints began to appear one by one. They bore traces of moss, looking like someone had just walked onto dry ground after being drenched in a downpour, with water constantly streaming down.

Green, mossy water began to seep into the low-quality tent.

A mountain rain began to fall, and fog arrived along with it. Visibility in the mountains dropped to less than five meters.

It was as if someone was trying to prevent them from moving forward.

When Chu Yuan and Gu Hui returned, they were completely soaked.

The tent was sagging in the middle under the weight of the torrential rain.

Ning Ruan was like a delicate flower under the tent. His clothes were slightly damp, clinging transparently to his chest. He looked piteous, using both hands to prop up the sagging tent, his almond eyes misty with tears.

Chu Yuan rushed over, poured the water off, and freed Ning Ruan’s hands from holding up the tent.

They had clearly left Jiang Qingfeng here to take care of Ning Ruan, yet upon returning, Ning Ruan was huddled here all alone.

Moving closer, Chu Yuan noticed Ning Ruan’s lips were bright red. The labial tubercle was so swollen from being sucked that it couldn’t be hidden it was clearly the look of someone whose mouth had been “devoured” by a man. It looked ripe and bruised.

Chu Yuan was furious. He wanted to slaughter that old dog Jiang Qingfeng. What kind of scumbag was he? Leaving Ning Ruan all alone after kissing him?

They had left Jiang Qingfeng here because he was somewhat more useful than Gu Hui; at least he was a dual-ability user. They valued his seemingly easy-going nature which hid a lethal efficiency when it came to killing.

With Jiang Qingfeng around, Ning Ruan shouldn’t have been bullied, regardless of whether they encountered other people or monsters.

But now, that dog Jiang Qingfeng hadn’t just failed to protect Ning Ruan; he had bullied Ning Ruan himself and then bolted, leaving Ning Ruan alone to prop up a leaking tent in the rain.

The air pressure around Chu Yuan was dangerously low. His face was dark, as if his wife had just been slept with by some random guy outside.

Where is Jiang Qingfeng? He left you here alone? Chu Yuan’s voice was cold.

Rainwater clung to Ning Ruan’s eyelashes, hanging in clumps like a wet kitten’s fur.

Chu Yuan didn’t dare pull Ning Ruan out of the tent. The rain was too heavy; if he took him out, he’d be soaked in a second.

Gu Hui also used his hands to lift the tent, his gaze fixed concernly on Ning Ruan. Of course, he also saw Ning Ruan’s swollen lips.

But… Gu Hui didn’t dare speak recklessly.

Ning Ruan was so delicate. Being kissed like that if Gu Hui spoke out of turn and hit a sore spot, Ning Ruan would probably be very upset.

Both men stood in the rain, propping up the poorly functioning tent.

There was something strange just now. Jiang Qingfeng, he went to chase it. Having his clothes soaked through made Ning Ruan’s voice tremble when the wind blew.

Chu Yuan frowned. Wasn’t Jiang Qingfeng a dual-ability user?

How pathetic. He couldn’t handle a “strange thing” and Ning Ruan at the same time?

What a dead dog. When it came to kissing, he was more than eager not just eager, but kissing the boy’s mouth until it was swollen. When it came to actual work, he was great at leaving Ning Ruan alone in the rain.

“And then it started raining, Chu Yuan Ning Ruan’s voice was like a kitten’s, whined softly as he called his name. Chu Yuan’s anger toward Jiang Qingfeng hadn’t dissipated.

But when Ning Ruan called him so piteously, Chu Yuan couldn’t ignore him. His grip on the tent tightened. Mhm. Don’t be afraid.

As he said this, Chu Yuan’s eyes fixed fiercely on Ning Ruan’s red, swollen lips.

It was as if he wanted to strip him bare with his gaze alone.

Ning Ruan:

Don’t be afraid? But Chu Yuan looked so scary.

The rain continued to pour. With the man’s fierce expression, Ning Ruan couldn’t help but shiver again.

Gu Hui couldn’t help but speak up, Don’t be mean to Ningning. Why are you acting like this?

I’m sure it wasn’t Ningning who initiated the kiss with Jiang Qingfeng.

As soon as he said it, Gu Hui lowered his head. His heart was churning with distress, bitterness, and grievance.

He had spent a long time mentally preparing himself, knowing that Ning Ruan would surely be bullied by those two bad men. He told himself repeatedly that even if Ning Ruan was kissed, it must have been forced.

But seeing the marks on Ning Ruan’s lips, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander. What if Ning Ruan actually wanted to kiss Jiang Qingfeng?

He told himself over and over not to get emotional over seeing the aftermath of the kiss.

But he could hardly stop the bitterness in his heart.

Thinking it and seeing it are two different things, Gu Hui thought bitterly.

Gu Hui’s sudden words shattered the secret Ning Ruan had been trying to hide from Chu Yuan.

A flash of panic crossed Ning Ruan’s snow-white face. He instinctively reached up to touch his lips. His pale cheeks flushed with a shameful pink now that the act had been exposed.

Worse, Chu Yuan and Gu Hui were both staring at him. Ning Ruan felt extremely embarrassed under their gaze.

Chu Yuan’s eyes were like a hungry wolf’s, as if he wanted to stare right through him.

Gu Hui looked aggrieved to the extreme, as if Ning Ruan had done something to betray him.

A wave of grievance rose in Ning Ruan’s heart. He was already upset enough about being kissed by Jiang Qingfeng, and now these two were staring at him like this. “W-what are you looking at me for?”

Chu Yuan’s face was rugged and sharply chiseled. When he wasn’t smiling, he was incredibly intimidating and looked very fierce.

With a cold face, Chu Yuan took some waterproof leaves he had found and wrapped Ning Ruan up. The elliptical leaves were two meters in diameter; two of them were enough to wrap Ning Ruan up entirely.

Only Ning Ruan’s small face and a pair of watery almond eyes were visible.

Once he was wrapped up and certain he wouldn’t get wet, Chu Yuan reached out and scooped him up.

Ning Ruan was startled by Chu Yuan’s low-pressure aura and the sudden movement.

Ning Ruan tried to struggle out of Chu Yuan’s hold, but was stopped by Chu Yuan’s cold tone. “Don’t be disobedient. My temper has always been quite bad you know that.
