The Villain Has A Yuri Halo [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 21.2

A car on the opposite side of the road was swerving erratically. It had been like this since it came out of the parking garage. People around it were scrambling to get out of the way. Some were even calling the police. They could all see that the driver was drunk.

Then came a huge crash as the car’s front bumper hit a trash can. After that, the car seemed to have lost its driver’s control, and it sped straight toward Tang Qingqing and Gao Sheng.

The rain was falling, making the road wet and slick.

The screams of the bystanders couldn’t stop the falling rain, nor could they stop the car.

The car’s headlights blinded Tang Qingqing, and the suddenness of the accident made her feet feel glued to the ground.

In a state of extreme panic, a person couldn’t remain calm. Tang Qingqing’s mind went blank, and the specter of death was closing in on her.

Time seemed to slow down, but another car came flying toward them. Li Ju sharply turned the steering wheel, her eyes focused on the car. She floored the gas pedal and hit the oncoming car, forcing it to change direction.

She had to save Tang Qingqing, or the speed of that car would kill her!

If Tang Qingqing died, she would be gone for good.

So Li Ju didn’t hesitate.

This time, the sound of the crash was even louder and more powerful. Tang Qingqing didn’t miss the sight of the face in the car window. She couldn’t even think to cry, and she ran resolutely toward the two wrecked cars.

Tang Qingqing’s body was cold. She didn’t even remember when the white roses in her arms had fallen to the ground.

“Help… help her!”

“Please, someone, help her!”

Tang Qingqing reached her arms through the car window, carefully cradling Li Ju’s face. The warm blood covered her fingers. Tang Qingqing sobbed uncontrollably. She could not accept this accident. She would rather be the one in that car!

“Xiao Ju! Xiao Ju! Open your eyes and look at me, please! Don’t fall asleep!”

Tang Qingqing hated herself, believing she was the reason Li Ju was like this.

The Xiao Ju who always smiled and teased her was now like a shattered glass doll. She couldn’t see Li Ju’s beautiful eyes or hear her tough-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside words.

Tang Qingqing’s voice was hoarse from crying. This made the pain in Li Ju’s forehead even more intense, and she struggled to open her eyes. She forced a mocking smile and teased, “I… I’m not dead yet. Stop crying. It sounds awful.”

Tang Qingqing was surprised and choked out, “Xiao Ju, don’t be scared. You’ll be okay! We’re all here to save you.”

Her body couldn’t fight off the fatigue. Li Ju slowly closed her eyes, and as she fell into a slumber, she remembered Tang Qingqing’s face.

Her eyes were so swollen from crying. She was so ugly.

Li Ju’s head lolled to the side, and Tang Qingqing’s legs gave way. Thankfully, someone grabbed her to stop her from falling.

“Teacher Tang! Don’t do this!” A colleague who had pushed through the crowd was startled when they saw Tang Qingqing, her eyes red and swollen, her face pale. The colleague quickly stopped Tang Qingqing from trying to save Li Ju. They said calmly, “We’ve already called. The police and ambulance will be here soon. The security guards are stronger than us. They will definitely get the injured person out. Don’t worry, just calm down.”

Tang Qingqing seemed to listen to her colleague’s advice. She stared blankly at the wrecked cars, at Li Ju being rescued.

Her eyes were empty, and she said in a quiet voice, “If she dies, I won’t be able to live either.”

Her colleague was shocked. “What?”

Tang Qingqing pointed at Li Ju, who was slumped in the seat, her chest compressed by the airbag, with a cut on her forehead that was bleeding. “That’s the person I love. I can’t live without her.”

The colleague’s eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn’t seen the accident herself but had heard the full story from the other bystanders.

The woman Tang Qingqing loved had used her car to stop the drunk driver to save her. It was no wonder Tang Qingqing had fallen in love with a woman like that.

*******

The area around the university was well-developed, so the police and ambulance arrived quickly. With the help of the professionals, the scene was cleared up quickly.

Tang Qingqing squeezed in beside the paramedics, watching with her own eyes as the unconscious Li Ju was pulled from the car.

She held back her tears. As she looked at the unconscious Li Ju on the stretcher, she felt her heart being squeezed tightly. The pain also made her more sober. Tang Qingqing asked, “Doctor, is her life in danger?”

The doctor said seriously, “We’ll have to do a full checkup at the hospital to know the specifics. Who are you to her?”

“The drunk driver was going to hit me. She stopped the car to save me. I’m her family. Please, can I ride with her in the ambulance?” Tang Qingqing pleaded with the doctor. He looked at the police officer, then nodded. The police officer also instructed Tang Qingqing, “I’ll find you at the hospital to take your statement about the accident. You go to the hospital now.”

Tang Qingqing thanked them gratefully. As she got into the ambulance, the tears she had been holding back started to fall again. She quickly turned her head and wiped them away, afraid she would miss any changes in Li Ju’s condition.

Li Ju was unconscious, and Tang Qingqing wept silently.

What they didn’t know was that System 666 was being forced to shut down.

[Warning, warning! Host Li Ju has been subjected to an external attack. The body is too damaged to support the system’s operation!]

[To ensure the host’s body receives the best repair, System 666 will be forced to shut down.]

[Special notice: Due to the interruption of the plot, the system has judged this world’s mission a failure. Once the host’s body has healed, this world’s plot will be erased.]

[Goodbye.]

System 666 looked at the starting program in a frenzy, but what made it even more distraught was that the plot was supposed to be Li Ju getting into a car accident with the male and female leads. How did it turn into someone else being the drunk driver and stealing Li Ju’s scene? And Li Ju didn’t even think twice before using her car to stop the out-of-control drunk driver. These scenes were completely outside of 666’s imagination.

[I think I’ll just shut down for now and wait for the host to wake up to discuss the next step.]

Soon, System 666 fell into a slumber, but another being quietly woke up— a new system.

[Oh? What’s this sweet smell? What is it? It’s so delicious!]

[Oh, so it’s a woman’s tears. But why are they so sweet?]

[Ah, I’m so stupid. The scent I can smell, besides a parasite, must be love!]

[Hehe, so tasty, so tasty. I love eating it!]

While unconscious, Li Ju kept hearing fragmented voices. She didn’t know what kind of being it was, but she could vaguely see a faint white light. She was like a light feather, leisurely circling that light.

She circled and circled, not knowing how long she had been there. During that time, she didn’t think about finding a way out, because a very comforting scent filled the air. It was as if Li Ju had been reborn, or as if she had been freed from the chains that had been holding her down. She felt light and free.

[You’ve been following me for a long, long time. Aren’t you tired?]

[The woman outside has been crying. Although her tears are sweet, she’s getting more and more gaunt every day. I don’t know why, but I hope you’ll go back and see her.]

[My dear parasite, your life is no longer in danger. You should wake up.]

These voices suddenly woke Li Ju. She looked at the ceiling, her eyes filled with a sense of loss, like the feeling of being pulled from a beautiful dream back to reality.

She frowned slightly. Her pale face showed signs of life. She was no longer sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed. The woman sitting by her hospital bed didn’t even dare to speak loudly, afraid she would wake her up.

“Xiao Ju?”

She turned her face, her eyes gentle. The beautiful woman in front of her gradually merged with a face in her memory, finally becoming one.

Her long eyelashes fluttered. This was the person she had stored in her mind.

“It’s you.” She recognized the woman by the bed, and her body was suddenly filled with strength. She sat up under Tang Qingqing’s worried gaze, tilted her head, and smiled faintly. She said, “I remember you. You saved me. You’re such a good person. I’ll repay you!”

This expression and these words were not something Li Ju would ever say. A bad feeling suddenly entered Tang Qingqing’s mind.

Tang Qingqing asked gently, “Xiao Ju, are you okay?”

Li Ju looked around, curious about everything. She said casually, “Huh? You mean me? Is my name Xiao Ju?”

After looking around the hospital room, she felt that the woman in front of her was more worthy of her curiosity. She smiled and asked, “What about you? What’s your name?”

Tang Qingqing’s hanging heart finally dropped to the ground. The Li Ju who had been in a coma for three days had woken up, but she had amnesia.

“Why are you crying?” Li Ju looked at her falling tears and said with concern, “Don’t cry. Your eyes will hurt.”

Tang Qingqing bit her lip hard. Her tear-filled eyes were full of bitterness and pain.

She couldn’t hold it in. She couldn’t be calm and composed in front of Li Ju.

She threw herself at Li Ju, hugging her tightly.

“I’m so sorry, I’m so, so sorry.”

Li Ju didn’t understand what she was saying, but she felt uncomfortable watching her cry. Ever since she woke up, Li Ju knew there was something wrong with her body. She still had a grasp of the world, but her memory was blank.

Li Ju looked sideways at her, who was trembling from crying, and quickly changed her mind.

No, it wasn’t blank.

She remembered her.

Li Ju naturally stroked her back and asked with a smile, “Why are you saying sorry? I’m not dead. I’m perfectly fine.”

Tang Qingqing retorted, “Don’t say that!”

Li Ju was surprisingly obedient. She just said, “Okay, I won’t.”

Their back-and-forth made Tang Qingqing let go of Li Ju and look at her with watery eyes.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Tang Qingqing shook her head frantically. Li Ju touched her cheek. “If there’s nothing there, why are you looking at me like that? It’s so strange.”

Tang Qingqing silently explained in her head: It is strange. In all the years I’ve known Xiao Ju, I’ve never seen her this obedient.

This side of her was both familiar and strange.

But this wasn’t the time to think about it. Tang Qingqing coaxed her like she was a baby. “Xiao Ju, be a good girl and stay here. I’ll be right back.”

Li Ju accurately grabbed her wrist and looked up at her. “Don’t go yet.”

Tang Qingqing had gotten thinner recently, not sleeping well and worrying day and night.

The other family members hadn’t said anything, but Tang Ping was a force of nature. She didn’t seem to love Li Ju before, but now that Li Ju was hurt, she was acting like a concerned mother.

That day, Tang Ping had gotten very angry with Tang Qingqing. Li Zhen had heard his wife’s shouts and rushed over to save Tang Qingqing, which also made the furious Tang Ping shut up instantly.

Tang Qingqing’s long hair was casually braided, with loose strands at her temples that looked playful. Tang Qingqing’s beauty was undeniable in her beige sweater, but the exhaustion in her eyes made people want to help her get rid of her sorrow.

Li Ju’s words made Tang Qingqing bend over, and her braid followed her movement, swaying as if it were teasing Li Ju.

Li Ju’s eyes curved. She used her hand to wipe away Tang Qingqing’s tears. “I don’t know what you’re busy with, but you forgot to wipe your tears.”

Tang Qingqing, feeling weak, shed a few more tears. She even felt like she was dreaming. How could she be worthy of Li Ju’s kindness?

“Oh, you’re crying again.”

“Stop crying. Your eyes are all red. You don’t look good at all.”

“Go do your thing, and when you’re done, we’ll talk about this debt of gratitude.”

Tang Qingqing blinked. “Debt of gratitude? Do you mean when you used your car to save me?”

Li Ju shook her head. “You’re so silly. You’ve got it wrong. You’re the one who saved me. I might have forgotten other things, but I’ll never forget this!”

This made Tang Qingqing’s heart ache even more. It was over. Her Xiao Ju seemed to be seriously ill.

“Wait for me to come back, be a good girl.”

Li Ju nodded obediently, her eyes full of trust.

This look made Tang Qingqing cover her chest. She was a monster. How could she have lustful thoughts at a time like this?

“Wait for me to come back.” She was so worried that she repeated her instructions.

Li Ju nodded again. She watched Tang Qingqing’s back disappear little by little and then said to herself, “She still hasn’t told me her name.”

[I already told you, she’s Tang Qingqing, parasite. Did I mess up your brain?]

[That’s not right. My power can keep you from dying. How could your brain be broken?]

Li Ju lay down peacefully under the covers, her hands on her stomach, and said slowly, “You can keep me from dying, but you didn’t say you could keep my memories. And let’s not talk about memories. Who gave you permission to give me spoilers? I want to hear it from her, not from you!”

[You… you’re so unreasonable! I told you because I saw you looking so lost and unloved, so I felt bad for you. Now I’m the one who did something wrong? No, not a person, a flower.]

“Oh, so you’re a flower.”

[No, no, no. What I am isn’t important. The point is we’re a team. If you die, I die. Why? Because we have a special connection. You’re a lucky person to have me as a parasite, little chestnut. You’re great!]

Li Ju sighed with a mix of emotions. What was with all this nonsense?

“You can keep me from dying, so what do you want?”

[Hey, hey, hey! You’ve gotten smart.]

“…I have amnesia. I didn’t lose my IQ.” Li Ju complained helplessly.

[I have a very strong background. You’ll be fine with me. I’m just a little bit injured right now. When I was traveling through space and time, I was attracted by your scent. I can only smell two scents in this world: the scent of a parasite and the scent of love.]

[My request is for you to nourish me with love.]

“…That sounds a little perverted.”

[I’ll be living in your body. When you get nourished, I’ll be nourished as well. It’s that simple.]

Li Ju didn’t know who she used to be, but she was strangely calm hearing such a bizarre story.

[By the way, why didn’t you let me see your other parasite?]

[Oh, my bad. I forgot you have amnesia.]

Li Ju turned away and buried herself in the covers, not wanting to talk. She needed to figure out this situation.

So, she was supposed to have died, but this flower saved her?

It was a parasite in her body, so it needed a medicine called “love” to heal.

And who was this other parasite it was talking about?

Li Ju was full of mixed feelings. Maybe she wasn’t even human. Why else would she attract so many weird beings?

“What’s your name?” She seemed to have a thing for names.

[Me? My name is Ci.]

[From the word “benevolence.”]

[I’m going to sleep now. If it’s an emergency, you can call me.]

Li Ju accepted its existence and asked, “Where in my body are you?”

[Lift your right hand and look at your middle finger.]

Only then did Li Ju notice a very small and faint flower petal mark on her middle finger. You couldn’t see it unless you looked closely.

She watched the sunlight pass through her finger and once again marveled at the wonder of life.

The Li Ju with amnesia felt no panic or anxiety. A secret joy was spreading in her heart.

She couldn’t help but ask herself: Is amnesia a good thing for me?

Li Ju smiled and rubbed her cheek against the pillow. No matter what, she was alive.

“Xiao Ju!”

She saw Tang Qingqing running over, a worried look on her face. Li Ju smiled. “I’m being a good girl. I didn’t go anywhere. Why are you so nervous?”

Tang Qingqing touched her forehead and sighed in relief. She had been worried when she walked in and saw her lying down without her usual energy. She was so scared, but thankfully, she was okay.

“Your hand is so warm. Did you touch my face like this during the car accident?” Her subconscious was telling Li Ju that the woman in front of her was someone she could trust and rely on. The first person she saw when she woke up was this woman, so Li Ju childishly thought she could be a small pet that could fit in her pocket. She would follow her everywhere.

Li Ju was all smiles, her eyes sparkling. Even though she had been unconscious for many days, she was full of energy when she finally woke up, as if the car accident hadn’t done any damage to her. She had just had a good long sleep.

“What’s your name? Can you tell me?” Li Ju lay on her side, her cheek sinking into the pillow. She reached out and grabbed Tang Qingqing’s sleeve, shaking it.

Tang Qingqing’s throat bobbed. The darkness in her eyes made her a little dangerous at that moment.

She admitted that she was a monster. She finally understood why the old Li Ju had been so hard to deal with.

Because when she was this well-behaved, she could steal a person’s life.

The two of them looked at each other, but the flower started to voice its opinion.

[I already told you, her name is Tang Qingqing! What are you asking for?]

“…When humans are connecting with each other, unidentified beings are not allowed to speak.”

[No, I already told you her name. Why are you still asking? Humans are so boring.]

“…Will you get out, please?”
