Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 5

After briefly learning about what an ability user was, Tang Congyue lost interest in the topic. She looked down and noticed that Yun Li in her arms had grown bored and started playing with the ends of her own hair. Taking her hand, Tang Congyue led her to an unoccupied corner.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinhe frowned and was about to say something when the curious Zhu Yaqin interrupted him. Forced to shift his attention, he answered Zhu Yaqin’s questions instead.

…

“How do you feel?”

After finding a place to sit, Tang Congyue kept her arm securely wrapped around Yun Li’s waist.

“Much better than before, but it’s been a long time since I ran that fast. Now my calves feel uncomfortable.” Yun Li had always been delicate, and at this moment, she wrinkled her small nose, looking slightly displeased.

Hearing this, Tang Congyue bent down and pressed her warm palm against Yun Li’s exposed calf.

The soft texture made Tang Congyue reluctant to let go, and she even gave it a gentle squeeze.

“Hiss, what are you doing?”

Although it didn’t hurt, Yun Li still gasped lightly.

“Didn’t you say it was uncomfortable? I’m massaging it for you.”

Yun Li was somewhat tempted. After glancing around and confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she said, “Alright then, go ahead. Just don’t press too hard.”

“I know.”

Tang Congyue was well aware of her delicate nature and fear of pain. She adjusted her pressure several times until Yun Li felt it was just right, then continued massaging her calf with that same intensity.

She kept at it until Yun Li noticed Zhu Yaqin approaching them. Only then did Yun Li pull Tang Congyue, who was still bent over massaging her legs, upright.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Congyue was momentarily dazed.

“Someone’s coming.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

“I’m not afraid, I just feel embarrassed,” Yun Li retorted in a small voice.

In response, Tang Congyue merely chuckled softly.

Hearing the laughter, Yun Li couldn’t help but glare at her. “That’s enough.”

Only then did Tang Congyue suppress the smile on her face.

Just at that moment, Zhu Yaqin walked over and sat down opposite them.

“Is there something?” Tang Congyue’s tone was indifferent.

Perhaps already accustomed to Tang Congyue’s demeanor, Zhu Yaqin didn’t take it to heart and got straight to the point. “I’ve inquired about the situation at the Fifth Cafeteria. Including us, there are now seventy-eight survivors there. Zhao Jinhe and his followers are in charge. All the supplies from the first and second floors have been consolidated on the second floor. To make resources last longer, the cafeteria only provides one meal a day.”

Hearing this, Tang Congyue wasn’t particularly surprised, but there was one thing…

“Zhao Jinhe is an ability user. Hasn’t he considered leaving the school?”

Zhu Yaqin was taken aback by the question. After a moment, she shook her head. “I don’t know about that.”

Then, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to leave the school?”

Yun Li also turned to look at Tang Congyue, only to find her expression calm and unreadable.

“I don’t have any plans to leave the school for now.” Tang Congyue paused, then looked at Yun Li. Their eyes met, and the latter blinked in confusion. The next second, Tang Congyue’s hand landed on her head, gently stroking her hair.

Yun Li, feeling the touch, pouted slightly with her crimson lips, clearly displeased.

Zhu Yaqin: “…”

Zhu Yaqin, caught off guard by the sudden display of affection, wore a complicated expression. Then, as if remembering something, her face darkened. “That guy earlier…”

Hearing this, Tang Congyue and Yun Li turned to look at her.

“He was bitten in the artery and died from excessive blood loss… Zhao Jinhe said he was afraid the monsters would eat his body, so he burned it.”

At this point, Zhu Yaqin felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn’t help but think that if Tang Congyue hadn’t intervened earlier, she might have…

She didn’t dare dwell on it, forcing herself to calm down.

Tang Congyue and Yun Li fell silent. After a moment, Yun Li said stiffly, “My condolences.”

Zhu Yaqin forced a faint smile. “I’ve said what I needed to say. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

With that, she stood up and left.

Yun Li and Tang Congyue watched her go until she was out of sight. Only then did Tang Congyue reach out and take Yun Li’s hand.

Yun Li lowered her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

“Do you want to leave the school, A-Li?”

Yun Li thought it over seriously. “Wouldn’t it be too dangerous? We’re not ability users.”

During the first three days after the monsters appeared, the internet was still functional. But by the fifth day, for reasons unknown, perhaps something the monsters did, the network went down. They lost contact with the outside world, and their phones became useless.

“You’re right,” Tang Congyue said, gently squeezing Yun Li’s hand.

“Well, let’s stay in the fifth cafeteria for now and see how things develop.”

With an ability user like Zhao Jinhe around, the fifth cafeteria should be relatively safe, right?

But another question arose, why hadn’t Tang Congyue’s official love interest appeared yet?

Thinking of this, Yun Li couldn’t help feeling anxious. But when Tang Congyue glanced her way, she suppressed her emotions, careful not to let her notice.

…

“So? Did you find out anything?”

Zhao Jinhe sat in a chair, with the man who stood barely 170 cm tall but had exceptionally developed biceps standing beside him.

“Brother Zhao, I found out. That pretty one is named Yun Li, she’s the department belle of the Chinese department. The woman next to her is Tang Congyue, from the finance department.” The man paused, hesitating as he looked at Zhao Jinhe.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinhe immediately frowned. “What’s with that expression? Spit it out!”

“Should I say it?”

“Just say it!”

“Alright, alright, Brother Zhao, I’ll say it. Don’t be angry.” The man gave an ingratiating smile. “I asked the people who escaped from the library, and they said… they said Yun Li and Tang Congyue are in a relationship!”

Zhao Jinhe: “…”

“What?” He thought he had misheard.

“Brother Zhao, you heard right. They’re a couple.”

Zhao Jinhe: “…”

What the hell? He thought they were just close friends, but who would have guessed they were lovers?!

The thought made Zhao Jinhe irritable. No wonder he disliked that cold woman, she was actually that pretty girl’s girlfriend!

But it didn’t matter. He wasn’t the same person he used to be. He was an ability user now. If Yun Li truly understood that, she would realize he was a hundred times better than her girlfriend, no, a thousand times, ten thousand times better!

Lost in his thoughts, Zhao Jinhe chuckled to himself.

Seeing this, the man beside him grinned along.

Zhao Jinhe shot him a sidelong glance and couldn’t resist kicking him. “Laugh, laugh, laugh, what’s so funny?”

The man didn’t get angry either; instead, he gave Zhao Jinhe an ingratiating smile.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinhe didn’t say anything more.

…

“Achoo!”

Yun Li was chatting with Tang Congyue when suddenly, she sneezed and felt her nose tingling.

“Caught a cold?” Tang Congyue frowned and reached out to feel Yun Li’s forehead.

Hmm, her temperature was normal, no fever.

Even so, Tang Congyue took off her own windbreaker and draped it over Yun Li’s shoulders.

“I’m not cold.”

“Just keep it on for now.”

Seeing Tang Congyue’s serious expression, Yun Li didn’t take off the windbreaker. “It’s just that my nose suddenly felt itchy.”

“Mm, I know. Just keep it on for now.”

Touched by her concern, Yun Li felt a warmth in her heart and couldn’t help but lean closer to her.

“Does your calf still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Tang Congyue felt relieved.

And so, Yun Li stayed close to Tang Congyue, chatting idly with her.
