When The Harem Novel’s Heroine Meets The Tragic Heroine - Chapter 11

The distance between them closed bit by bit. Bei Qiuqiu held her breath, feeling a wave of slight nervousness.

At that very moment, Yu Qingling suddenly snapped her eyes open.

Her pupils appeared bright and pitch-black in the dim space. For a fleeting second, Bei Qiuqiu felt a hair-raising sensation, as if she were being stared down by some fierce predatory beast.

Her body trembled slightly, but she quickly took the initiative to speak first. “Sister, you gave me a fright.”

Yu Qingling did not respond immediately. Her gaze was calm as she watched the shock flash across the exquisite little face inches away from her. Only then did she speak slowly: “What’s wrong?”

Bei Qiuqiu sat back and scratched her somewhat messy long hair, looking at the great beauty before her with a puzzled expression. “I’m a bit hungry. I wanted to see if you were about to wake up.”

Yu Qingling fell silent for a moment. Just now, upon sensing someone approaching, she had instinctively released a surge of killing intent, momentarily forgetting that she had already arrived in a different world. “Sorry, I scared you. What do you want to eat? My treat.”

Bei Qiuqiu chuckled. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony! I want to eat steak tonight.”

Yu Qingling naturally agreed.

Out of her own private motives, Bei Qiuqiu did not call a taxi. After leaving the residential complex gates, the two of them got onto a bicycle together.

Sitting in the front, Bei Qiuqiu said to Yu Qingling in the back seat, “Sister, I ride very fast. If you’re worried about falling off in a bit, just hold onto my waist tightly.”

Yu Qingling declined. “Don’t worry, I won’t fall.”

Bei Qiuqiu sighed, pedaling the bike with a sense of regret. How could she have forgotten that Sister’s martial prowess was so high?

Generally, people with high combat skills have a very stable lower body. How could a mere bicycle possibly throw her off? It was a miscalculation.

She carried Yu Qingling for half an hour before finally finding a decent “influencer” Western restaurant.

Of course, Bei Qiuqiu did not tell Yu Qingling that this was also a couple-themed Western restaurant.

At this hour, it was peak dinner time, and many couples were already seated in the restaurant.

Bei Qiuqiu held onto Yu Qingling’s sleeve and walked in quickly, drawing the gazes of several young couples who followed them with their eyes. Yu Qingling looked back at them in confusion.

Bei Qiuqiu knew that the combination of the two of them was indeed a bit strange in this setting.

After sitting down, she leaned in close to Yu Qingling’s ear to explain why the surrounding guests were paying attention to them. “Sister, it must be because you are too beautiful, so everyone is looking this way.”

Since there was no malice in those stares, Yu Qingling looked away and didn’t look further into it.

She glanced at the girl beside her, who was whispering with her hand over her mouth, and returned the compliment as a matter of courtesy. “You are very beautiful too.”

Upon hearing this, Bei Qiuqiu was so happy she couldn’t stop giggling, claiming she would have to eat more tonight just because of that one compliment.

The waiter approached with the menu. Yu Qingling handed over full authority for the dinner selection to Bei Qiuqiu, while she herself simply watched, observing silently.

Bei Qiuqiu didn’t know why Yu Qingling was unwilling to join the ordering process, but she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of making decisions for the person she liked.

Soft music played in the restaurant. Outside the glass windows, the neon lights were beginning to glow, shining brighter than the stars in the sky.

Yu Qingling rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window at the city lights in a slight daze. She heard Bei Qiuqiu’s phone vibrate on the table, only for it to be hung up by its owner.

It vibrated again, was hung up again, and after several repetitions, the phone finally went silent.

She pulled her gaze back from the lights. The girl opposite her was looking down at her phone with gritted teeth, her expression very vivid.

The people calling incessantly were Bei Miaomiao and Liang Meiyue.

Seeing that Bei Qiuqiu kept refusing to pick up, the mother and daughter had resorted to sending messages, telling Bei Qiuqiu that they had already sent her current restaurant location to Feng Yuanhua, and that she should have a proper blind date with him in a bit.

Bei Qiuqiu was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She was having dinner with Sister—why couldn’t these people just leave her alone!

Bei Qiuqiu looked up at Yu Qingling, feeling a bit timid, and asked in a small voice, “Sister, how about… we switch to a different restaurant?”

If it weren’t for Yu Qingling’s acute five senses, anyone else might not have even noticed she had spoken.

Yu Qingling was surprised for a moment, but she still responded calmly, “Alright.”

Bei Qiuqiu let out a gasp of surprise. The other woman hadn’t even asked why; she was simply cooperating with her “unreasonable behavior” without hesitation.

Sister is truly too gentle and has such a good temper!

However, the system, Liuliu, would not let her off. “Host! Calm down! Sit back down! You cannot leave this place! Unless you want to be electrocuted into a frizzled hedgehog.”

Bei Qiuqiu froze.

Liuliu: “The plot is about to begin. You will be forced by your relatives to go on a blind date with Feng Yuanhua in this restaurant. For the sake of the male lead, you will politely decline Feng Yuanhua. Unexpectedly, in a fit of rage, Feng Yuanhua will forcibly take you away and lock you in his villa for an entire day and night. No one knows what happens during that time, which also becomes the fuse for the male lead to decisively break off the engagement later.”

Bei Qiuqiu was on the verge of a breakdown. Why did the mission have to come now!!!

And it had to be a plot that would cause misunderstandings right in front of the person she loved!

She absolutely could not let Sister get involved in her blind date scene!

Bei Qiuqiu’s face turned pale as she began to contemplate the possibility of Yu Qingling getting angry if she asked her to leave first.

Opposite her, Yu Qingling had already stood up. “Let’s go.”

Bei Qiuqiu gritted her teeth and said to Liuliu in her mind, “I’ll accept the electric shock, but not now. I’ll wait until I get home.”

Liuliu refused: “Host, do not give up so easily. Electric shocks can kill. If you die because of a punishment, your soul will be extinguished.”

Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit with a bloated physique sat directly down in Yu Qingling’s seat.

The man flashed a smile, the fatty flesh on his face trembling. “Miss Bei, I, Feng, have admired you for years. We finally meet today.”

Bei Qiuqiu hadn’t expected Feng Yuanhua to show up so early. Her heart sank to the bottom. Now, there was no way to leave even if she wanted to.

Yu Qingling, whose seat had been suddenly snatched: “…”

Seeing that Bei Qiuqiu didn’t speak, Feng Yuanhua let out two cold laughs. “What? Did your father not tell you about the union between our two families?”

Bei Qiuqiu took a deep breath. There was no way to avoid Yu Qingling now. She closed her eyes and followed Liuliu’s requirement to politely refuse the man opposite her. “Mr. Feng, I already have someone I like. It is impossible for me to become your fourth wife.”

As the words fell, she peeked guiltily at Yu Qingling. The latter was staring expressionlessly at Feng Yuanhua, who had stolen her seat.

Feng Yuanhua gave a derisive snort. “Are you talking about the young master of the Qin family? I know you have Young Master Qin in your heart.”

Bei Qiuqiu once again looked at Yu Qingling discreetly. “Who said the person I like is Qin Anjue?”

Suddenly, an ear-piercing alarm sounded in Liuliu’s mind. Bei Qiuqiu felt a splitting headache and nearly fainted.

Feng Yuanhua squinted his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Bei Qiuqiu’s body wantonly. “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care. As long as you are mine and your body belongs solely to me, it doesn’t matter who is in your heart.”

At that moment, the waiter came over and served two portions of steak.

From the stainless steel steak cover, Bei Qiuqiu saw her own deathly pale face. She clenched her fists tightly.
