Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 19

Time flew by quickly, and soon it was time for Tang Congyue to go on patrol.

Zhu Yaqin arrived early. Seeing her, Tang Congyue patted Yun Li’s head, said, “I’m leaving,” and then headed downstairs to the second floor.

Zhu Yaqin sat down beside Yun Li and noticed her watching Tang Congyue leave. Sighing inwardly at how close they were, she comforted Yun Li, “Don’t worry, Tang Congyue is very strong.”

Only when Tang Congyue’s figure disappeared from view did Yun Li withdraw her gaze and softly hum in acknowledgment.

…

“Big Sister Tang…”

“Hello, Big Sister Tang!”

When Tang Congyue reached the first floor and found Xiao Huiwen and the other three, she was momentarily taken aback by the address “Big Sister Tang.” Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, she said, “Just call me Tang Congyue.”

What kind of nonsense was “Big Sister Tang”? It sounded too much like “cousin”!

Besides, her late father had no siblings, nor did she have cousins as old as them.

Upon hearing this, Yu Kai and the others exchanged glances before replying in unison, “Okay, Big Sister Tang, we understand.”

Tang Congyue: “…”

Forget it, let them call her whatever they wanted.

Seeing Tang Congyue fall silent with an expressionless face, Yu Kai and the others, who had wanted to ask how she had single-handedly defeated the monster the day before, now didn’t dare to speak up. However, they harbored no resentment, thinking that it was only natural for someone as formidable as Big Sister Tang to have a bit of a temper.

At 7:59, Class A, who had been patrolling outside, returned.

Tang Congyue took the kitchen knife from one of them and prepared to follow Xiao Huiwen and the other three, only to find them standing still, staring fixedly at her.

Tang Congyue: “?”

Frowning slightly, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you staring at me?”

“Would you like to go first?” Yu Kai spoke up, and the other three also looked at Tang Congyue.

Tang Congyue: “…”

Pursing her lips, she said, “No need, just like yesterday is fine.”

Yu Kai and the others couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Huiwen, and when they saw him nod, the four of them stepped out of the cafeteria first.

Seeing this, Tang Congyue picked up the kitchen knife and leisurely followed behind them.

Not far away, Luo Zhibo, who was sitting, witnessed the scene and curled his lips disdainfully before saying to Zhao Jinhe, “Brother Zhao, look how respectfully Yu Kai and the others treat Tang Congyue.”

Zhao Jinhe didn’t find it unusual. People naturally admired strength, and since Tang Congyue was capable, it was only normal for her to be respected. So, he didn’t respond. Noticing out of the corner of his eye that Luo Zhibo seemed about to say more, he simply stood up and walked away.

Luo Zhibo was momentarily puzzled about where Zhao Jinhe was going, but when he saw him heading to the second floor, he immediately understood and grinned slyly.

…

When Zhao Jinhe reached the second floor, Yun Li was playing a single-player game on her phone. It was Zhu Yaqin, sitting across from her and spacing out, who noticed him first. Immediately, she couldn’t help but glance at Yun Li, who remained completely unaware.

Oh no, why was Zhao Jinhe here?

Remembering the previous tension between Tang Congyue and Zhao Jinhe, she felt her head spinning with worry.

As Zhu Yaqin was wondering what to do, Zhao Jinhe quickly approached.

“Yun Li.”

Hearing her name called, Yun Li blinked and looked up to see Zhao Jinhe standing not far away.

Yun Li: “…”

Damn, why is this guy here again?

Whenever she saw him, she would recall her own pathetic demeanor when facing Tang Congyue.

Humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

Yun Li felt bitter and resentful inside, but her expression remained unchanged.

“What do you want?” she asked.

“Why did you have Tang Congyue return the chocolate to me yesterday?” Zhao Jinhe couldn’t hold back and asked directly.

Yun Li fell silent for a few seconds before replying, “We’re not close, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to accept your gift.”

“Is that really the reason? Tang Congyue didn’t force you?”

“Really.”

Tang Congyue hadn’t forced her, she had backed down on her own.

Thinking of this, Yun Li couldn’t help but feel a bit upset.

Zhao Jinhe, being straightforward and careless, didn’t notice the shift in Yun Li’s mood. He pulled the same chocolate bar out of his pocket again and placed it in front of her.

“Once I give something away, I don’t take it back.”

“But…”

Before she could finish, Zhao Jinhe cut her off with a firm tone, “If you don’t want to eat it, just throw it away.”

With that, he didn’t even glance at Yun Li’s stunned expression before turning and leaving.

Yun Li sat there in a daze. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Zhu Yaqin’s gossipy expression, so she pushed the chocolate toward her.

“You eat it.”

“I can’t! This is from Zhao Jinhe, for you!”

“Then help me return it to him.”

“I don’t dare.”

Yun Li pressed her lips together. “If you won’t eat it or help me return it, then just throw it away.”

“Throw it away? But it’s chocolate!”

“So what? I have chocolate too!” Yun Li pulled out the chocolate she had exchanged with that girl earlier from her pocket.

Zhu Yaqin: “…”

She was jealous, truly jealous. How come they had everything?

Zhu Yaqin’s heart ached as she glared fiercely at the chocolate.

“Fine, I’ll eat it for you! But don’t you dare tell Zhao Jinhe!”

“Then you can’t tell Congyue about what just happened.”

Otherwise, that person would start being sarcastic again.

Zhu Yaqin thought it over and reluctantly agreed.

…

Just like the previous night, Xiao Huiwen and the others walked ahead, with Tang Congyue trailing behind. The only difference was that Yu Kai and the others kept glancing back at Tang Congyue from time to time.

Tang Congyue was a bit exasperated and could only coolly say, “Pay attention to your surroundings. Staring at me won’t help.”

Yu Kai and the others shivered slightly, replied with a “Yes,” and stopped looking back, which satisfied Tang Congyue a little.

…

Their luck was pretty good today. For several hours straight, they didn’t encounter a single monster, which left Xiao Huiwen and the other three feeling both relieved and disappointed.

They were glad they hadn’t run into any monsters, as it meant they were safe.

But they were also disappointed because, without any monsters, they couldn’t get a share of the ten pounds of monster meat.

Still, when they remembered that participating in the patrol team still earned them a pound of monster meat, they quickly let it go.

By 4 a.m., they returned to the cafeteria and handed over duties to Class C.

Zhu Yaqin took the kitchen knife from Tang Congyue and added, “Yun Li is still asleep.”

“I know.”

Tang Congyue walked past Zhu Yaqin and headed straight to the second floor.

As soon as she reached the second floor, she saw Yun Li, wrapped in a windbreaker, fast asleep with her head resting on a dining table. She walked over, sat down, rubbed her hands together to warm them, and then gently touched Yun Li’s soft, warm cheek.

Yun Li wasn’t sleeping deeply. Feeling the touch, she stirred slightly and let out a soft murmur.

A gentle smile appeared in Tang Congyue’s dark eyes, her voice soft as she whispered, “Sleep, I’m here.”

Yun Li seemed to hear her words, nuzzling her head against her own arm before quickly falling into a deep slumber.

Seeing this, the warmth in Tang Congyue’s eyes deepened.
