Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 13

Zhu Yaqin wanted to offer some advice, but seeing Tang Congyue’s resolute attitude, the words simply wouldn’t come out.

Luo Zhibo, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised. He looked Tang Congyue up and down, inwardly sighing in regret.

He had to admit that Tang Congyue was also a beauty, but unfortunately, she had become Yun Li’s girlfriend. In that case, he couldn’t be blamed for being unkind.

Thinking this, Luo Zhibo smiled faintly and said, “Alright! You’ve got guts. Report to the first floor at 8 p.m. sharp.”

“Understood.”

With that, Tang Congyue turned and left.

Zhu Yaqin hurriedly followed. Unable to hold back any longer, she lowered her voice and said to Tang Congyue, “Won’t you reconsider?”

“Reconsider what?”

“Class B is still quite dangerous…”

Though Zhu Yaqin didn’t elaborate, Tang Congyue understood her meaning. She shook her head and said, “Which shift isn’t dangerous?”

“But Class B is the most dangerous.”

Tang Congyue fell silent.

“If you go back now, there might still be room for negotiation.”

“No need.”

Once Tang Congyue made a decision, it was hard to change.

Zhu Yaqin didn’t know this, but she could sense Tang Congyue’s firm resolve and couldn’t help but sigh.

This made Tang Congyue glance at her, but she said nothing.

…

“You’re back?”

Seeing Tang Congyue and Zhu Yaqin coming up from the first floor, Yun Li, who was holding her backpack, stood up and went to greet them.

“So? Did you join the patrol team?” Yun Li blinked her peach-blossom eyes and asked.

Zhu Yaqin opened her mouth, hesitating to speak, but it was Tang Congyue who answered Yun Li’s question. “Yes, I joined.”

“When do you start your duties?” Yun Li asked again.

“Tonight.”

“Huh? At night? So soon?” Yun Li was shocked. “From what time to what time?”

“From 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.”

Tang Congyue’s reply shocked Yun Li once more. She couldn’t help but grab Tang Congyue’s hand, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed with worry.

“Why such a time slot? Can’t it be changed?”

Tang Congyue grasped Yun Li’s hand in return, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Probably not.”

“But it’s so late. What if you encounter monsters?”

“Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

Naturally, Yun Li believed in Tang Congyue’s abilities, especially since, before encountering the official love interest, the female lead wouldn’t face any real danger. Even so, Yun Li couldn’t help but worry.

“Don’t boast,” Yun Li couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at Tang Congyue.

Tang Congyue wasn’t angry, but she didn’t say anything, merely continuing to gently squeeze Yun Li’s hand.

Zhu Yaqin, listening nearby, had initially hoped Yun Li’s words might change Tang Congyue’s mind. But seeing this, she knew Yun Li couldn’t sway Tang Congyue and could only sigh helplessly to herself.

“Zhu Yaqin.”

Suddenly, Tang Congyue called out to her.

“What is it?” Zhu Yaqin snapped back to attention.

“Can I ask you for a favor?”

“Huh?”

Zhu Yaqin raised an eyebrow in surprise. “What favor?”

“I’m not comfortable leaving A-Li alone. Could you keep her company for me tonight?”

So that was it!

Zhu Yaqin understood Tang Congyue’s meaning and patted her chest in assurance. “Sure! Leave it to me!”

Tang Congyue had saved her life, so this small favor was something she could definitely do!

Upon hearing this, Tang Congyue revealed a faint smile.

Among everyone in the Fifth Cafeteria, Zhu Yaqin was the only person she could somewhat trust. Having her keep an eye on Yun Li would ease Tang Congyue’s mind while she was out on patrol.

…

Time passed little by little, and before long, it was 7:50.

At this moment, Tang Congyue gently patted Yun Li’s head and glanced at Zhu Yaqin. Seeing the latter nod in response, she finally stood up and went downstairs alone.

Yun Li watched Tang Congyue leave, her delicate hands unconsciously gripping the straps of her backpack.

“Um…”

Yun Li’s voice suddenly broke the silence, and Zhu Yaqin turned to look at her.

“I haven’t asked yet, what’s your patrol shift, Zhu Yaqin?”

“Oh, that.” Zhu Yaqin lightly scratched her cheek. “My patrol shift is from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m.”

“Then you’ll be taking over Congyue’s shift, right?”

“Yes.”

“You should get some rest early then. You’ll need to be well-rested for your patrol duties.”

“Don’t worry, I can stay with you the whole time.”

It was just one night without sleep, she could handle it.

“You’ll still be with me even if you’re asleep,” Yun Li said with a soft smile, her delicate features strikingly captivating under the fluorescent lights.

Zhu Yaqin was momentarily stunned, finally understanding why Tang Congyue had asked her to accompany Yun Li. If Yun Li were her girlfriend, she wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her alone either.

“Are you sure?”

Yun Li nodded seriously before replying, “Although I haven’t been at the Fifth Cafeteria for long, I can tell the order here is quite good. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn’t be any trouble. You can rest easy. If anything comes up, I’ll wake you.”

Zhu Yaqin’s thoughts aligned with Yun Li’s, and hearing this, she nodded in agreement. “Alright, let’s do it that way.”

“Okay.”

…

Meanwhile, Tang Congyue had gone downstairs. She scanned the first floor and noticed four men gathered together. Quickly understanding the situation, she strode toward them.

Tang Congyue’s arrival drew the attention of many, including Zhao Jinhe’s.

Zhao Jinhe was currently devouring monster meat in large bites, but when he saw Tang Congyue approaching, he suddenly lost his appetite. Wondering what she was here for, he watched as she headed toward Xiao Huiwen and the other three, growing even more puzzled.

“What’s she doing here?”

Luo Zhibo, sitting not far from Zhao Jinhe, overheard his muttering and quickly explained, “Brother Zhao, Tang Congyue is here for the patrol team assignment.”

“Huh?”

“While you were out today, Tang Congyue said she wanted to join our patrol team, and I agreed on the spot.” At this point, Luo Zhibo sounded a bit uneasy. “Brother Zhao, you’re not upset, are you?”

“Why would I be upset? If she wants to join, let her. But I thought Team B was already full?”

“That’s the thing, one person from Team B didn’t want to work the night shift, so I transferred them to Team A.”

“I see.” Zhao Jinhe understood and didn’t press further.

By then, Tang Congyue had already reached the four men.

“Are you members of Patrol Team B?”

Xiao Huiwen turned at the sound of her voice, and the moment he saw Tang Congyue, a flicker of displeasure crossed his face.

Originally, their Team B consisted of five men, but unexpectedly, a woman was inserted into their midst mid-way.

What use could a woman possibly be? In the face of danger, she would only scream and shout, and might even end up dragging them down.

Thinking this, Xiao Huiwen grew even more displeased with Tang Congyue. He snorted lightly as a response to her.

Tang Congyue didn’t mind Xiao Huiwen’s attitude. After learning that they were members of Patrol Team B, she sat down not far away, preparing to follow them later to complete the patrol mission.

Seeing this, Xiao Huiwen couldn’t help but exchange glances with the other three men, each of them harboring different thoughts.
