Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 23

Tonight was a peaceful night.

At four in the morning, the members of Team B, who had been patrolling outside, returned to the Fifth Cafeteria.

As soon as Tang Congyue arrived, the first person she saw was Zhu Yaqin, who had been waiting nearby.

Zhu Yaqin flashed Tang Congyue a wide smile, and the latter nodded in acknowledgment.

“Go upstairs and rest.” Zhu Yaqin urged, taking the kitchen knife from Tang Congyue.

“Mm, be careful.”

“I will.”

Tang Congyue watched as Zhu Yaqin left the cafeteria with the other survivors from Team C before heading toward the second floor. But after only a few steps, her path was blocked by a young man.

She recognized him, the one who had been trying to get close to her. During tonight’s patrol, if Xiao Huiwen hadn’t intervened, he would have stuck to her like glue.

The thought made Tang Congyue feel a wave of irritation.

“Miss Tang.”

“What do you want?”

“Miss Tang, you probably don’t know my name yet, do you? I’m Qian Yang.”

Tang Congyue crossed her arms and waited for him to continue.

Seeing her silence, Qian Yang’s smile stiffened slightly.

“Miss Tang, I heard you want to trade for monster meat.”

“Do you want to trade?”

“Well, I don’t have any food…” Qian Yang blinked innocently, his tone deliberately playful, “But I have abs. Would you like to see, Miss Tang?”

With that, he grabbed the hem of his shirt, preparing to lift it and show off his abs. But to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Tang Congyue looked at him as if he were already dead and walked straight past him.

Qian Yang: “…”

His eyes widened in disbelief, and he hurried after her.

“Miss Tang.”

“Get lost!” Tang Congyue spat out the word coldly, her gaze as sharp as a blade.

Qian Yang was frightened, freezing in place.

Tang Congyue didn’t spare him another glance and continued toward the second floor.

Xiao Huiwen and the others had witnessed the entire exchange. Seeing Qian Yang humiliated, they couldn’t help but laugh, and Yu Kai sneered sarcastically.

“Look at yourself. How dare you try to seduce Miss Tang?”

“Exactly! Miss Tang already has a girlfriend. Why would she be interested in someone like you?”

Qian Yang’s face darkened. He pressed his lips together and glared at Xiao Huiwen and the others.

“What does it matter to you? Mind your own business!”

“I think you’re the one who should mind your own business! You’re on the patrol team, yet all you think about is hitting on others. Aren’t you afraid of getting killed by monsters?”

“You-!”

“What? Want to fight?”

Seeing Yu Kai and the others rolling up their sleeves, Qian Yang backed down.

He was no match for three people, so he could only swallow his anger. After shooting them a venomous glare, he quickly headed upstairs.

“That guy actually dares to go to the second floor!” Yu Kai exclaimed, wide-eyed.

“Forget it, don’t bother with him.” Xiao Huiwen waved his hand dismissively.

“That guy doesn’t know his place. None of us dare to get close to Miss Tang, yet he has the nerve to try and seduce her!”

Not to mention, Tang Congyue already had a girlfriend!

A girlfriend who was stunningly beautiful, just looking at her was a pleasure. Who knew where Qian Yang found the courage to try and seduce Tang Congyue? Just because he had abs?

At this thought, Yu Kai and the others couldn’t help but flash a hint of mockery in their eyes.

…

Tang Congyue was unaware of what had happened downstairs. Returning to the second floor, she hurried over to where Yun Li was. Seeing Yun Li sleeping with her face pressed against the dining table, her cheeks flushed pink, Tang Congyue’s previously sour mood improved slightly.

Her gaze lingered on Yun Li’s face, and before she could stop herself, she reached out and gently poked Yun Li’s cheek with her finger.

It was warm and soft, the texture was lovely.

“Mmm…”

In her sleep, Yun Li let out a soft murmur. Seeing this, Tang Congyue quickly withdrew her mischievous hand. But before long, Yun Li opened her eyes, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes hazy with drowsiness.

“Congyue?”

Her slightly hoarse, soft voice made Tang Congyue’s heart melt instantly.

“I’m here. Did I wake you?”

Yun Li shook her head. “I need to use the restroom.”

With that, she sat up straight.

“I’ll go with you.”

“Okay.”

Tang Congyue accompanied Yun Li to the restroom.

After using the restroom, Yun Li felt a bit more awake and asked Tang Congyue if she had encountered any monsters that night.

“It was a peaceful night.”

“That’s good.”

Yun Li wrapped her arms around Tang Congyue’s arm and gently rubbed her cheek against Tang Congyue’s shoulder.

When they returned to their previous spot, Yun Li accidentally met the gaze of a boy nearby. Noticing her looking at him, the boy froze for a moment before quickly averting his eyes.

Yun Li didn’t pay it much mind and was about to lay her head down again when Tang Congyue suddenly leaned in, her pale lips lightly pecking Yun Li’s cheek.

Yun Li froze, instinctively raising her hand to cover the spot Tang Congyue had just kissed.

“What are you doing?”

After saying this, she couldn’t help but glance in the direction of that boy again. Seeing him looking their way once more, she realized he might have noticed Tang Congyue kissing her, and she felt a little embarrassed.

“I wanted to kiss you.”

It had been a long time since they had been intimate. If not for Yun Li’s shyness, Tang Congyue would have loved to be closer to her more often.

Yun Li’s face flushed, and she shot Tang Congyue a bashful glare with her peach-blossom eyes.

“Can I do it again?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Someone might see.”

At this hour, the other survivors were resting, how could anyone be watching?

Thinking this, Tang Congyue scanned the area and immediately locked eyes with someone.

Tang Congyue: “…”

Why was it that boy again?

Remembering his earlier attempt to flirt with her, Tang Congyue felt a surge of irritation. Her desire to be intimate with Yun Li faded significantly, mostly because she didn’t want others to see Yun Li’s shy expression.

Noticing Tang Congyue’s prolonged silence, Yun Li glanced at her. Though Tang Congyue’s face was expressionless, it was clear she was upset, which made Yun Li a little unhappy as well.

“Why are you upset?”

Was it because she had rejected her?

If that were really the case, she was going to throw a fit!

Hearing this, Tang Congyue’s expression softened slightly. “I’m not upset.”

“You’re lying. You were clearly upset just now.”

“Not because of you.”

“Then who?”

“That boy.”

Yun Li followed Tang Congyue’s gaze and quickly spotted the boy she had seen earlier.

“What about him?”

“He tried to flirt with me.”

Yun Li: “???”

Huh?

What in the world?

Seeing Yun Li’s bewildered expression, Tang Congyue pinched her cheek.

“He flirted with me and told me to look at his abs.”

Yun Li: “…”

She was truly speechless.

What was there to see about abs? Tang Congyue had her own, thank you very much.

“And then?”

“I ignored him.”

“Well done!” Yun Li almost clapped for her.

“Since you said that, A-Li, shouldn’t you give me some kind of reward?” Tang Congyue hinted with her words.

Catching the underlying meaning, Yun Li smiled faintly. “You did what you were supposed to do. How could you have the nerve to ask for a reward?”

She was thinking way too highly of herself!

Before Tang Congyue could react, Yun Li lay down. “No more talking. I’m so sleepy, I’m going to sleep.”

With that, she quickly closed her eyes.

Tang Congyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and mischievously poked her cheek.

Yun Li let her do as she pleased but simply refused to respond.

In the end, Tang Congyue had no choice but to withdraw her hand helplessly.

Her A-Li really was an expert at playing dead.
