Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 32

Yun Li and Tang Congyue didn’t head straight back to the residential area. Considering Tang Congyue’s injuries, Yun Li decided not to let her cook and instead took her to the cafeteria, where they ordered two bowls of hot porridge made with monster meat.

The monster meat porridge was quite expensive, six credits per bowl. Fortunately, Tang Congyue was not short on credits at the moment, so Yun Li didn’t hesitate to splurge.

After finishing the monster meat porridge, they finally returned to the residential area.

Just as Yun Li inserted the key into the lock, the door of room 402 next to them opened. Zhu Yaqin stepped out and seemed surprised to see them.

“You’re back?”

Zhu Yaqin knew they had gone out on their own that day, so she hadn’t come looking for them. Still, she was curious about where the two had been.

“Mm, are you heading to the cafeteria?”

“No, I just wanted to go out for a walk.”

“Alright, go ahead then. We’re heading in.”

“Okay.”

After Zhu Yaqin left, Yun Li and Tang Congyue entered their room one after the other.

Tang Congyue had already cleaned up earlier in the dimensional space, but she had fought monsters afterward, and her clothes had gotten dirty again. As soon as she entered the room, she began taking off her clothes.

Yun Li happened to see this. She didn’t say anything, but when she noticed the red, swollen, bruised, and purple marks on Tang Congyue’s back, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

“Are you really not in pain?” Unable to hold back, Yun Li asked again.

By then, Tang Congyue had already slipped into her pajamas.

“I’m really not in pain.”

Knowing that Yun Li was concerned about her, Tang Congyue felt a warmth in her heart. Her usually expressionless face softened noticeably.

“Are you tired then?”

“A little.”

Tang Congyue could endure pain, but at that moment, her head and back were both aching, and fatigue was inevitable.

“Then go lie down for a while.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll stay with you.” Yun Li changed into her pajamas, climbed onto the bed first, and patted the empty space beside her. “Come on up.”

Seeing this, Tang Congyue’s throat moved slightly, and inexplicable restless thoughts arose in her mind. Suppressing these feelings, she sat down on the bed.

“You should sleep on your stomach today. Don’t hold me.”

“How can that be?” Tang Congyue frowned slightly.

“Why not? You’re a patient, and patients have to listen to me!”

“But A-Li, you’re not a doctor.”

Even in such a situation, Tang Congyue still had the mood to joke around with her.

Yun Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. “Are you going to listen to me or not?”

Tang Congyue’s survival instincts kicked in immediately. “I’ll listen, I’ll listen.”

“Then sleep on your stomach today!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Doctor A-Li.”

Tang Congyue deliberately drew out the word “doctor,” making Yun Li feel a bit embarrassed. She glared at Tang Congyue fiercely.

“Shut up and go to sleep!”

How could she still act like a patient at a time like this!

“Okay.”

Tang Congyue behaved obediently and followed Yun Li’s instructions, lying face down on the bed.

Seeing this, Yun Li breathed a sigh of relief. She lay down as well, facing Tang Congyue. Coincidentally, Tang Congyue was also facing her, and their eyes met. Tang Congyue’s gaze flickered slightly.

“A-Li.”

“Hmm?”

“I’ve been so well-behaved. Don’t I deserve a reward?”

Yun Li clicked her tongue inwardly. “What kind of reward do you want?”

Tang Congyue’s gaze fell on Yun Li’s full, crimson lips, her meaning unmistakable.

Yun Li: “…”

So inappropriate!

Even injured like this, and still thinking about kisses!

Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, she said heartlessly, “No reward, don’t even think about it.”

“A-Li~”

Tang Congyue began to whine.

Yun Li’s ears twitched slightly, but she remained as unmoved as a monk in deep meditation.

Seeing this, Tang Congyue knew Yun Li was determined not to give her any reward, so she could only close her eyes with deep regret.

“A-Li, I’m going to sleep.”

“Sleep then.”

Yun Li wasn’t very sleepy. She lay on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought. By the time she snapped out of it, the woman beside her was already fast asleep.

For some reason, she softly called out Tang Congyue’s name.

“Congyue?”

Getting no response, Yun Li turned over again, raised a finger, and traced the outline of Tang Congyue’s features in the air.

The peacefully sleeping Tang Congyue looked very docile, unlike her usual aloof demeanor. Yun Li also found it incredible that she had managed to win over such a person in less than three months. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether her pursuit skills were exceptional or if Tang Congyue was just easy to chase.

Well, no point overthinking it. Why bother? This woman won’t be mine in the future anyway.

At this thought, Yun Li’s heart couldn’t help but ache. She sighed silently, then turned to lie on her back, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.

…

Yun Li didn’t know how long she slept, but when she woke up, the light outside had grown dim. She turned her head and was surprised to find Tang Congyue still asleep, it seemed she was truly exhausted today.

Not wanting to disturb Tang Congyue’s sleep, Yun Li got up quietly, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and then, finding herself with nothing to do, decided to enter her space to take stock of the supplies stored there.

By the time Tang Congyue woke up, she was the only one left in the room.

Even before opening her eyes, Tang Congyue habitually reached for the other side of the bed. Not finding the familiar warmth and softness, she paused, then opened her eyes, a trace of drowsiness still lingering in her clear, dark eyes.

“A-Li?”

Tang Congyue sat up, but there was no sign of Yun Li in the dimly lit room.

She got out of bed and checked the bathroom, it was empty too.

Where did she go?

Tang Congyue instinctively thought of asking Zhu Yaqin next door but then, remembering something, she smiled wryly.

That girl must have gone into her space.

With this realization, Tang Congyue’s anxious heart slowly settled back into place.

After waking up, she felt her headache had improved significantly, no longer throbbing painfully as before. However…

Tang Congyue moved her shoulders and immediately felt a sharp pain in her back. The burning sensation made her narrow her eyes in displeasure.

Just then, Yun Li emerged, holding two containers of instant porridge.

“Hey, Congyue, you’re awake?”

Hearing Yun Li’s voice, Tang Congyue looked over, her gaze softening. “A-Li, why didn’t you tell me before going into your space?”

“You were asleep at the time. How could I wake you up just to say I’m going into my space? That would be so inconsiderate.”

Tang Congyue: “…”

She awkwardly rubbed her nose, her eyes falling on the instant porridge in Yun Li’s arms. “Are you hungry?”

“I am. Aren’t you?”

The congee really wasn’t filling. She had already eaten several bags of snacks while taking inventory in her space earlier.

“Not bad.”

Yun Li hummed in response, set down the instant congee, and went to prepare boiling water.

“I’ll do it.” Tang Congyue reached out, but Yun Li gently patted her hand away.

“You, the patient, step aside.”

“I’m not missing any limbs. I can handle this.”

Seeing Tang Congyue’s insistence, Yun Li had no choice but to hand her the electric kettle.

“Alright, alright, you do it.”

Tang Congyue hummed in acknowledgment, took the kettle, and went to fill it with water.

When she returned, Yun Li had already torn open the instant congee packaging. Noticing her out of the corner of her eye, Yun Li asked, “Congyue, do you want a ham sausage?”

“No.”

“Okay.”

After plugging in the kettle, Tang Congyue sat beside Yun Li and watched her fussing with the instant congee.

“Is this what we’re having for dinner?”

“Why? are you disgusted by it?”

“Not really. I thought you’d go to the cafeteria.”

“Well, isn’t it because I’m considering you’re injured and want you to rest properly?”

Hearing this, Tang Congyue couldn’t help but lean over and gently kiss Yun Li’s incredibly soft cheek.

“A-Li, you’re so good.”

“Of course. If I’m not good, who is?”

Tang Congyue pursed her lips into a smile, but after a moment, she asked, “A-Li, you saw my ability today. What do you think?”

“Think about what?” Yun Li looked confused.

Tang Congyue paused, pretending to be casual. “Didn’t you say before that Zhao Jinhe’s fire ability is pretty impressive? What about now? Do you still think he’s impressive?”

After beating around the bush for so long, it turned out she wanted to talk about this!

A flicker of mischief passed through Yun Li’s eyes as she feigned seriousness. “Of course he’s impressive. Fire ability is so aggressive, how could it not be impressive?”

Not getting the answer she wanted, Tang Congyue pressed her slightly dry lips together. “What about me?”

“Huh?”

“Am I impressive?”

“Just so-so. I prefer more aggressive abilities.” Yun Li pouted. “Your ability is control-type, it’s not aggressive at all.”

Tang Congyue: “…”

She took a deep breath. “So, you think Zhao Jinhe’s fire ability is better than mine?”

“Yeah, what about it?” Yun Li answered confidently.

“…Nothing.” Tang Congyue felt somewhat annoyed but didn’t show it.

Just then, the water finished boiling, bubbling noisily. Seeing this, Yun Li quickly picked up the kettle, poured hot water into both bowls of instant congee, and covered them.

“Just wait a few minutes, and it’ll be ready to eat.”

Tang Congyue stayed silent.

Yun Li glanced at her. Having been together for almost four months, she had come to understand Tang Congyue’s temperament fairly well. Seeing her silent now, expressionless, Yun Li knew she was sulking. Without even thinking, she knew it was because of what she had said earlier. But Yun Li had no intention of comforting her, after all, she was just completing her mission.

Three minutes later, Yun Li lifted the lids, and the aroma of the instant congee wafted out.

“Smells great.”

Without inviting Tang Congyue, she started eating on her own.

Tang Congyue glanced at her, silently opened her own lid, and began eating the congee alongside her.

The portion of instant porridge was quite small, and Yun Li finished it in no time. Still feeling hungry, she took out a box of pineapple cakes from her space and began eating them in small bites. Noticing Tang Congyue watching her out of the corner of her eye, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “Want some?”

“…Yes.”

Yun Li slid the opened box of pineapple cakes over to her.

Tang Congyue picked one up and took a bite.

There were six pineapple cakes in the box. Yun Li ate three, and Tang Congyue finished the remaining three.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Li sprawled on the sofa, too lazy to move. The post-meal drowsiness was setting in, making her feel sleepy.

Tang Congyue tidied up the trash and came over to sit beside Yun Li.

“A-Li…”

“What’s up?”

Tang Congyue leaned in, wrapped her arms around Yun Li’s shoulders, and with a slight tug, Yun Li nestled into her embrace.

“What are you doing?”

“Am I really that weak?”

Here we go again!

It seemed Tang Congyue was still quite bothered by this matter!

Yun Li’s eyes shifted mischievously. “I never said that.”

“But you said my ability isn’t as good as Zhao Jinhe’s.”

“Was I wrong?”

Tang Congyue: “…”

“Zhao Jinhe’s fire ability is so powerful, it can attack from a distance. With just a wave of his hand, he sends out several fireballs. It looks absolutely cool, doesn’t it?”

“You’ve never even seen Zhao Jinhe use his ability. How do you know it’s cool?”

“Can’t I just imagine it?”

Tang Congyue fell silent again.

“Alright, alright, let’s drop it. I’m going to take a shower.”

With that, Yun Li extricated herself from Tang Congyue’s embrace and went into the bathroom to shower.

Left alone on the sofa, Tang Congyue pursed her lips, her gaze distant and thoughtful, lost in who knows what.

…

When Yun Li came out of the shower, Tang Congyue was still sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. Yun Li walked over and waved her fair, slender fingers in front of Tang Congyue’s face.

“Congyue?”

Tang Congyue snapped back to reality and let out a soft “Hmm?” to indicate her confusion.

“What are you spacing out for?”

“Nothing.”

“I’m done with my shower. Are you going to take one? By the way, the doctor said the wound on your back shouldn’t get wet. Be careful when you shower, okay?”

Hearing this, a flicker of emotion passed through Tang Congyue’s eyes. She reached out, took Yun Li’s hand resting by her side, and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“A-Li, will you help me?”

Help her?

She really had some nerve!

Yun Li felt she was being quite polite by not rolling her eyes. “No, I won’t. Go wash by yourself. Didn’t you just say earlier that you’re not missing any limbs? Why would you need my help?”

Tang Congyue had said exactly that when they were boiling water earlier.

Now, Tang Congyue felt a pang of regret, wishing she could go back in time and make herself shut up.

“Alright, hurry up. The hot water in Building B is only available until ten. If you dawdle any longer, you’ll have to take a cold shower. If you catch a cold or get a fever, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Tang Congyue: “…”

Her A-Li was truly heartless.

Tang Congyue sighed inwardly and resignedly headed into the bathroom.

Seeing this, Yun Li secretly curled the corners of her lips into a smile, then took out her phone and started playing a single-player game.

It was a good thing she had been smart enough to foresee the apocalypse and had downloaded plenty of offline games beforehand. Otherwise, in this survivor base with no entertainment facilities, she wouldn’t know how to pass the long nights.

Yun Li had just finished a game and was about to start another when Tang Congyue’s voice came from the bathroom.

“A-Li.”

At first, Yun Li thought she had misheard and didn’t respond. But after hearing it a second time, she realized she hadn’t been mistaken. She put down her phone and walked toward the bathroom.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Li asked through the bathroom door.

A moment later, the door slid open, revealing Tang Congyue’s pale face, dotted with glistening droplets of water.

“A-Li, help me. I can’t reach my back.”

Yun Li: “…”

She hesitated for a moment. “If you can’t reach it, then just skip it?”

“No, that’s not clean. I can’t stand it.”

Yun Li remembered that Tang Congyue had a bit of a cleanliness obsession.

“A-Li, please help me.”

Tang Congyue put on a pitiful expression, one Yun Li had never seen before. Yun Li couldn’t help but find it intriguing and admired it for a moment before readily agreeing.

“Fine.”

With that, Yun Li pushed the door open and stepped inside, only to realize that Tang Congyue was completely naked.

Though the two had seen each other unclothed before, it had always been in bed. Seeing her like this now, Yun Li felt heat rising to her cheeks.

“Turn around.”

Tang Congyue obediently complied.

“Hand me the towel.”

Tang Congyue passed her a damp towel.

Yun Li turned on the showerhead, rewet the towel, and then wrung it out firmly. Carefully avoiding the angry-looking wounds, she gently wiped the skin that wasn’t bruised or scarred.

She rinsed the towel three times and wiped three times before she was ready to finish. But just as she turned around, a damp, steamy embrace enveloped her from behind.

Yun Li was startled for a moment.

“Tang Congyue, what are you doing?”

“A-Li, thank you.”

With that, Tang Congyue’s delicate kisses trailed along Yun Li’s slender neck, gradually moving upward until she gently took Yun Li’s jade-like earlobe between her lips, nibbling and teasing it softly.

Yun Li felt her entire body go weak and tingly, her legs nearly giving way. If not for Tang Congyue’s arm wrapped around her waist, she would have surely collapsed to the floor.

“Mm… what are you doing?”

“Giving A-Li a thank-you gift.”

A thank-you gift?

What kind of thank-you gift was this?!

Yun Li knew she had fallen into Tang Congyue’s trap. Had she known this would be the outcome, she would never have stepped into the bathroom!

As if satisfied, Tang Congyue released her earlobe, which now glistened with moisture, looking even more beautiful than before.

Her kisses trailed from Yun Li’s earlobe, peppering her cheeks with soft, delicate pecks. Then, with her other hand, she lifted Yun Li’s face and pressed her damp lips against hers.

“A-Li.”

Tang Congyue whispered Yun Li’s name like a sigh, her thin lips gently sucking and kissing Yun Li’s.

Yun Li couldn’t stand this kind of feather-light kiss, it always left her heart itching with desire. Just as she was about to lose control, Tang Congyue finally slipped her tongue out, easily parting Yun Li’s lips and dancing with her tongue.

The gentle, lingering kiss went on for a long, long time, leaving Yun Li dazed and hazy. It was at this moment that she heard Tang Congyue’s husky voice.

“A-Li, am I better, or is Zhao Jinhe better?”

The question struck Yun Li like a thunderclap, jolting her back to clarity.

This woman!

How could she still be hung up on this at a time like this?!

Yun Li was truly speechless.

A flicker of clarity returned to Yun Li’s dazed, peach-blossom eyes. Without a second thought, she replied, “Zhao Jinhe is better!”

Not getting the answer she wanted, Tang Congyue gently stroked the satin-like skin at Yun Li’s waist.

“Is that true?”

“Yes.”

Tang Congyue kissed her again, until Yun Li was once more dazed and muddled, then repeated the question: “Am I better, or is Zhao Jinhe better?”

“…Zhao Jinhe.”

Tang Congyue: “…”

Refusing to accept it, she continued her efforts, but after receiving the same answer again, her gaze darkened.

“A-Li, you’re not being good.”

For some reason, Yun Li sensed a hint of danger, but she had no chance to escape. So, she gritted her teeth, determined not to give in.

…

Yun Li lay lazily on the bed, her eyes filled with emotion, the corners tinged with a captivating shade of red. Her entire beautiful face radiated an intense, sultry allure.

Her lips were slightly parted, revealing a glimpse of her small, crimson tongue.

As if recalling something, a blush spread across her cheeks like rosy clouds.

It was too much.

Tang Congyue was truly too much!

Was it just because she refused to say she was better?

How could she torment her over and over again, making her reach climax so many times?

Thinking of the extreme pleasure, she felt both satisfaction and shame.

She could only console herself.

At least she had held her ground from start to finish, otherwise, all that torment would have been for nothing.

“A-Li…”

Yun Li shifted her gaze and saw Tang Congyue lying on the bed, watching her.

She was too exhausted to speak a single word.

“Do you want some water?” Tang Congyue’s voice was soft and gentle, as if she knew she had gone too far.

Yun Li pursed her lips and gave a faint hum of agreement.

“I’ll get you some water.”

Tang Congyue got up and left, returning shortly with a cup of warm water. Knowing Yun Li was too tired to lift a finger, she helped her sit up, leaning against her shoulder, and skillfully fed her the water.

“That’s enough.”

Tang Congyue withdrew the cup and, seeing Yun Li’s lips glistening and plump from the water, couldn’t resist kissing her again.

Yun Li was too weary to argue with Tang Congyue. If she wanted to kiss, so be it.

“Rest now.”

With that, Tang Congyue laid her back down and went to put the cup away.

After drinking the water, drowsiness washed over Yun Li, and she closed her eyes. By the time Tang Congyue returned, Yun Li was already fast asleep.

Tang Congyue stared intently at Yun Li’s sleeping face for a long while, then lifted her hands and examined them.

Was she really that weak?

Otherwise, why would A-Li still say Zhao Jinhe was better, even after all that?

For the first time, Tang Congyue began to doubt herself, her pale, thin lips pressing together lightly.

…

Yun Li slept so deeply she was oblivious to the world. She didn’t hear the knocking at the door, it was Tang Congyue who answered.

“Going for breakfast?” Zhu Yaqin asked.

“No, A-Li hasn’t woken up yet.”

At this, Tang Congyue felt a twinge of guilt.

“Eh? Still not up?” Zhu Yaqin scratched her cheek. “Alright then, I’ll go by myself. Do you want me to bring breakfast back for you two?”

Tang Congyue was about to refuse but quickly reconsidered. She asked Zhu Yaqin to wait and returned shortly with a 500-point credit card.

“Could you buy two breakfasts for me? Thank you. You can keep the remaining points.”

“This doesn’t seem right, does it?” Zhu Yaqin wasn’t very keen on accepting Tang Congyue’s points.

“You take them. A-Li and I probably won’t be going out these next few days, so teaming up or joining a squad might be postponed. Consider this compensation for your time.”

“Eh? Why? Did something happen?”

Tang Congyue had planned to spend these days researching agricultural machinery in Yun Li’s space, but she couldn’t explain this to Zhu Yaqin, so she offered another reason instead. “I got slightly injured when I went out yesterday and need some time to rest and recover.”

Injured?!

Zhu Yaqin widened her eyes and looked Tang Congyue up and down. “Where are you hurt? Is it serious?”

“On my back. It looks quite severe, but it’s nothing serious. Don’t worry.”

“Alright, I understand. Rest well. I’m heading to the cafeteria now.”

“Go ahead.”

Tang Congyue watched Zhu Yaqin leave before closing the door.
