Why Won’t the Heroine Break Up With Me? [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 55

After finishing their meal, it was only a little past seven. Yun Li thought it was too early to return to school, so she suggested going to see a movie.

Fu Wanyi readily agreed.

Leaving Shanyue Kitchen, Fu Wanyi drove Yun Li to a nearby cinema.

Parking the SUV in the underground parking lot, the two made their way to the theater.

At this hour, the cinema was still quite lively.

Yun Li wasn’t sure what movies were currently showing, so she took out her phone, opened a ticketing app, and browsed the latest releases.

Just then, Fu Wanyi asked, “Do you want some popcorn?”

Yun Li blinked lightly and patted her slightly rounded stomach. “I’d like to, but I’m too full.”

Her troubled expression seemed to amuse Fu Wanyi, who chuckled softly. “How about a drink then?”

“Hmm, just a bottle of mineral water will do.”

“Alright.”

Fu Wanyi went to the counter to buy the water.

A short while later, she returned with two bottles of mineral water. “So, have you decided which movie to watch?”

“Senior, what would you like to watch?” Yun Li handed her phone to Fu Wanyi.

Fu Wanyi took it and glanced casually. “I’m fine with anything. What do you want to watch?”

“How about this new sci-fi movie?”

Yun Li wasn’t fond of watching lighthearted art films in the cinema; she preferred foreign blockbusters, the kind perfect for munching popcorn to.

“Sure.” Fu Wanyi nodded and returned the phone to Yun Li.

“Should I book the tickets then?”

“Go ahead.”

Yun Li quickly completed the purchase.

“The show starts at eight. It’s 7:45 now, so we only have to wait about fifteen minutes before we can go in.”

“Okay.”

Yun Li and Fu Wanyi headed to the waiting area, only to find several claw machines placed there.

The sight of the machines piqued Yun Li’s interest.

“Senior, are you good at catching stuffed toys?”

Fu Wanyi was momentarily taken aback, then shook her head. “Not really.”

“Oh…” Yun Li sounded a bit disappointed.

Noticing this, Fu Wanyi quickly added, “But I can give it a try.”

“Huh?”

“Want to try together?”

Touched by Fu Wanyi’s willingness to indulge her, Yun Li flashed a sweet smile.

Her smile momentarily dazzled Fu Wanyi, who froze for a second before snapping back to reality, her ears tingeing slightly pink.

My junior looks so pretty when she smiles.

“Shall we?” Fu Wanyi asked again.

“Sure!”

Yun Li stood up and followed Fu Wanyi to the claw machines.

They first bought some game tokens, and after browsing for a while, Yun Li spotted a blue plush toy in one of the machines.

“Senior, I want that one.”

Yun Li pointed at the blue toy.

Fu Wanyi nodded to show she understood, then inserted two tokens into the machine and started trying to grab the toy.

On her first attempt, Fu Wanyi’s movements were clumsy, and she failed quickly.

Undeterred, she tried again.

But after five attempts, she still hadn’t managed to grab the blue toy.

She couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed.

“Junior… I’m really not good at this.”

Seeing Fu Wanyi’s slight embarrassment, Yun Li giggled softly. “It’s okay. Let me give it a try.”

With that, Fu Wanyi stepped aside to make room for Yun Li.

Yun Li was also a novice. After several tries, she still couldn’t get the blue toy either.

“See, Senior? I’m not very good at it either.”

Realizing that Yun Li was trying to comfort her, Fu Wanyi’s mood improved considerably. “How many game tokens do we have left?”

Yun Li counted the tokens in the small basket. “Hmm, there are twelve left.”

“Let me try again.”

“Sure.”

Yun Li handed the basket of tokens to Fu Wanyi.

Fu Wanyi took it, her expression turning serious.

First attempt: failure.

Second attempt: failure.

Third attempt: failure.

Soon, ten tokens were gone, leaving only the last two in the small basket.

Fu Wanyi took a deep breath, inserted the final two tokens into the claw machine, and focused intently on maneuvering the joystick.

Under her control, the claw moved to a position above the blue plush toy. Then, with a gentle press of the button, the claw descended and silently grabbed the blue toy’s head. Immediately after, the claw began to move, carrying the blue toy along with it.

As the blue toy neared the prize chute, Fu Wanyi held her breath, her excitement mounting.

It had to succeed!

Her dark eyes were fixed intently on the blue toy until it finally dropped into the prize chute. At that moment, Fu Wanyi straightened up abruptly, her eyes sparkling with delight.

“Wow! You did it, Senior!”

Yun Li crouched down and retrieved the blue toy.

Seeing Yun Li so happy, Fu Wanyi couldn’t help but smile as well.

“It was just luck.”

“But that’s still amazing! I’ve never managed to catch one before!”

“Do you want to give it a try?”

Hugging the blue toy, Yun Li shook her head. “No, thanks. I’m too clumsy.”

“Maybe you’ll have good luck too?”

“Thanks for the encouragement, Senior, but I know my limits.”

“You…” Fu Wanyi chuckled helplessly.

Yun Li playfully stuck out her tongue. Then, as if struck by an idea, she took out her phone and said to Fu Wanyi, “Senior, let’s take a photo together!”

Fu Wanyi was momentarily taken aback but then nodded in agreement.

Yun Li moved closer to Fu Wanyi, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

Perhaps because they were so close, Fu Wanyi caught a faint, pleasant fragrance. The scent was so soothing that she found herself lost in thought for a moment.

“Senior, look at the camera.”

Snapping back to reality, Fu Wanyi quickly turned toward the camera and offered a gentle smile.

Yun Li took several photos in a row before finally putting her phone away, satisfied.

“Send me the photos later.” Fu Wanyi said.

“Okay.”

Yun Li glanced at the time, it was already 7:55.

“Senior, we can head in now.”

“Alright.”

Clutching the blue toy, Yun Li entered the movie theater with Fu Wanyi.

Soon, they found their seats and settled in. The movie began shortly after.

Yun Li watched the film with rapt attention.

Fu Wanyi did the same.

However, halfway through the movie, Fu Wanyi suddenly felt the need to use the restroom. Leaning closer, she whispered, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Yun Li didn’t quite catch what she said, only feeling Fu Wanyi’s warm breath against her ear, which made her ear tingle. She asked, “What?”

Fu Wanyi repeated herself, but just as she did, Yun Li suddenly turned her head. In that instant, Fu Wanyi’s warm lips brushed against Yun Li’s ear.

Immediately, Fu Wanyi’s eyes widened in shock, and her heart began to race.

Yun Li was equally stunned, staring blankly at Fu Wanyi with her lips slightly parted.

At that moment, Fu Wanyi snapped back to reality. She hadn’t expected to accidentally kiss Yun Li’s ear, and the soft sensation still lingered on her lips. Seeing Yun Li’s slightly parted mouth, her crimson lips glossed with a shiny tint, they looked irresistibly tempting.

What would happen if she kissed them?

The thought suddenly flashed through Fu Wanyi’s mind.

Immediately after, she became aware of what she was thinking, and her cheeks flushed with heat.

“Sorry, I need to use the restroom.”

With that, Fu Wanyi hurriedly stood up and left the movie theater.

Yun Li watched her go, unable to resist touching her own ear.

To be honest, she was quite surprised too, but the feeling wasn’t bad at all?

Yun Li pursed her glossy, soft lips.

Meanwhile, Fu Wanyi rushed to the restroom.

At that moment, the restroom was empty. Fu Wanyi stood in front of the sink, her dark eyes filled with complexity.

How could she…

How could she think about kissing Yun Li?

Uncontrollably, the image of Yun Li’s soft, beautiful lips flashed before her eyes again.

Thump.

Thump-thump.

Thump-thump-thump.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and her throat felt dry.

Fu Wanyi could clearly sense that something was off with her. She then reflected on everything from the first time she met Yun Li until now and suddenly realized that she might have developed a bit of a crush on Yun Li.

This wasn’t the kind of affection one feels for a junior or a friend, it was the kind reserved for a lover.

The moment she realized this, Fu Wanyi’s heartbeat quickened even more, and the image of Yun Li’s alluring lips resurfaced in her mind.

Fu Wanyi couldn’t help but cover her eyes, murmuring to herself, “Fu Wanyi, you’re truly beyond saving.”

…

Ten minutes had passed since Fu Wanyi left, and Yun Li couldn’t help but worry. Just as she was about to take out her phone to send Fu Wanyi a message, she felt someone sit down beside her.

Yun Li looked up and saw that Fu Wanyi had returned.

“Senior, you’re back?”

Yun Li’s voice was soft, but Fu Wanyi still heard it. She couldn’t help but glance at Yun Li’s lips, suppressing her chaotic thoughts as she responded with a quiet “Mm.”

“Let’s continue watching the movie.”

“Okay.”

Yun Li temporarily pushed aside thoughts of what had happened earlier and immersed herself in the film, unaware that the woman beside her wasn’t paying attention to the movie at all, instead, she kept stealing glances at her.

…

After the movie ended, Yun Li and Fu Wanyi didn’t leave the theater immediately.

Yun Li remained seated and took a sip from her water bottle.

“Senior, did you like the movie?”

Fu Wanyi, who had barely paid attention to the second half of the film, froze for a few seconds before forcing herself to stay calm and replying gently, “It was pretty good.”

“I thought so too.”

By then, most people in the theater had already left. Yun Li said, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The two stood up and left the theater.

“Senior, I need to use the restroom.”

“Alright.”

Fu Wanyi waited for Yun Li outside the restroom, her gaze fixed on the polished floor as she thought about how Yun Li had looked while engrossed in the movie.

So beautiful, so captivating.

She could hardly bring herself to look away.

At the thought, Fu Wanyi’s cheeks warmed slightly.

Damn it, she realized her feelings for Yun Li had grown even stronger, and her heart was stirring restlessly.

“Senior, I’m done.”

When Yun Li returned, she was surprised to find Fu Wanyi’s cheeks tinged with a faint blush.

“Senior, why is your face so red?”

Fu Wanyi: “…”

She tried her best to remain calm. “It’s the heat.”

Yun Li: “???”

The air conditioning here was quite strong, how could it be hot enough to make her face flush?

But Yun Li was perceptive and didn’t press further.

“Senior, let’s go.”

“…Alright.”

The two took the elevator down to the underground parking garage.

Along the way, Fu Wanyi glanced at her phone, it was almost ten o’clock.

“Junior, are you hungry?”

“Huh?”

“If you’re hungry, how about I take you for a late-night snack?”

Ever since realizing her own feelings, Fu Wanyi suddenly didn’t want to part with Yun Li so soon.

“What should we eat?”

“What would you like?”

Yun Li wasn’t particularly hungry, but she did feel a little craving. She pursed her lips slightly, a bit embarrassed, and her voice softened. “I’d like some barbecue.”

Even so, Fu Wanyi heard her clearly and began thinking.

“I know a barbecue place that’s pretty good. How about I take you there?”

“Sure.”

Seeing Yun Li agree, a faint smile appeared in Fu Wanyi’s eyes.

…

The barbecue place Fu Wanyi mentioned wasn’t far from the cinema. They drove for about ten minutes before arriving.

The restaurant was quite crowded at this hour, but Yun Li and Fu Wanyi managed to find an empty table.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter brought over a menu.

Fu Wanyi pushed the menu toward Yun Li. “Take a look and see what you’d like.”

Yun Li nodded, picking up a pencil to check off items on the menu.

She wasn’t very hungry, so she didn’t order much.

After marking everything she wanted, Yun Li slid the menu back to Fu Wanyi.

“I’m done choosing.”

Fu Wanyi glanced at Yun Li’s selections: squid tentacles, pork belly, chicken gristle, and grilled gluten.

“Why so little?”

“I’m not that hungry.”

Fu Wanyi understood. She looked over the menu and added a few items she wanted.

After finishing, she returned the menu to the waiter.

As the waiter walked away, Fu Wanyi watched him leave and was about to say something to Yun Li when she noticed a group of customers at a nearby table nudging a red-faced young man.

Seeing this, Fu Wanyi felt a bit strange. Just as she was about to look away, she saw the red-faced young man walking toward their table.

Quickly, Fu Wanyi realized what was happening, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

“Um, hello…”

Hearing the voice, Yun Li looked up and saw a young man with flushed cheeks.

She wasn’t naive and quickly understood the situation, but she responded politely. “Can I help you?”

“Could I get your contact info?” The young man held out his phone, looking at Yun Li expectantly.

A faint smile appeared on Yun Li’s beautiful face. Just as the young man thought he might succeed, he heard her polite but distant reply.

“Sorry, no.”

The young man’s face fell instantly, disappointment written all over it.

“Are you sure?”

“Sorry.”

Seeing how firm Yun Li was, the young man could only walk away dejectedly.

Yun Li withdrew her gaze and noticed Fu Wanyi was still watching the young man. She waved a hand in front of Fu Wanyi’s face.

Instinctively, Fu Wanyi reached out and caught Yun Li’s hand.

Suddenly, both of them froze.

“Senior?” Yun Li was the first to snap out of it.

Fu Wanyi’s ears burned as she quickly released Yun Li’s hand. After placing her hand on her thigh, her fingers unconsciously began to rub together.

Her junior’s hand…

Was quite soft.

At this thought, the tips of Fu Wanyi’s ears grew even hotter.

“Senior?”

“Hmm?”

“What were you thinking about just now?”

“…Nothing.”

She couldn’t possibly say she was thinking about her hand, could she?

If she said it out loud, would her junior think she was a pervert?

Fu Wanyi thought with slight embarrassment.

“I see…”

“…Yeah.”

“By the way, senior, since you’re a local, do you know any fun places in Nan City?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Isn’t National Day coming up soon?”

Fu Wanyi understood. “There aren’t many interesting places in Nan City, but during National Day, there will definitely be lots of tourists. Are you planning to explore Nan City with your roommates during the holiday?”

“Not really.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m not sure if my roommates are going home yet, so I’m just asking in advance.”

Go home?

Fu Wanyi seemed to recall something. “From what you’re saying, you’re not planning to go home for National Day?”

“That’s right.”

Yun Li had no attachment to that home. Plus, since Yun Yao would be going back, she had even less desire to return.

Hearing this, an idea occurred to Fu Wanyi. “Well, if you end up not going out with your roommates, I could show you around Nan City.”

Oh?

Yun Li’s peach-blossom eyes lit up slightly.

She had only asked casually, never expecting such a pleasant outcome!

Yun Li couldn’t help but smile, though she replied with restraint, “Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you, senior?”

“Not at all. I don’t have any plans for National Day anyway.”

“Alright then.”

Seeing Yun Li agree, Fu Wanyi also broke into a smile.

…

After finishing their barbecue, Fu Wanyi walked Yun Li back to campus.

When Yun Li returned to her dorm, her three roommates were still awake.

“Yun Li, you’re back?” Bei Qingqing glanced at her a few extra times.

“Yeah.”

Yun Li hung up her bag, set down the dark blue bracelet she was wearing, and removed her makeup. Then, grabbing her towel and pajamas, she headed to the bathroom for a shower.

Fifteen minutes later, Yun Li emerged from the bathroom, carrying with her the warmth of the water and the fresh scent of her body wash. Soon, the small dorm room was filled with the fragrance of her shower gel.

“It smells so good…” Bei Qingqing took a deep whiff. “Yun Li, the scent of your body wash is really lovely.”

This wasn’t the first time Bei Qingqing had noticed the fragrance of Yun Li’s body wash, but every time she caught a whiff, she found it irresistible, the kind of scent you never grow tired of.

Seeing Bei Qingqing lost in the aroma, Yun Li smiled but didn’t respond.

Bei Qingqing couldn’t resist asking, “Yun Li, could I use your body wash next time?”

She had secretly looked up the price of this body wash online, a 350ml bottle actually cost over three hundred yuan!

With a monthly allowance of only fifteen hundred, she simply couldn’t bring herself to buy such an expensive body wash.

“Sure.” Yun Li agreed casually.

Hearing this, Bei Qingqing was delighted. “Yun Li, thank you!”

Yun Li smiled faintly.

“Buzz…”

Her phone on the desk vibrated. Picking it up, Yun Li saw it was a message from Fu Wanyi and unconsciously smiled.

[Fu Wanyi: What are you up to?]

[Yun Li: Just finished showering.]

[Yun Li: Have you gotten home, senior?]

Yun Li only found out today that Fu Wanyi doesn’t often stay in the dormitory.

[Fu Wanyi: I’m here. I just finished showering too.]

[Yun Li: What a coincidence!]

[Fu Wanyi: By the way, remember to send me the photos.]

[Yun Li: Wait a moment, let me edit them first.]

With that, Yun Li opened the photo editing app, only to find that the photos she took were already perfect and didn’t need any editing.

Yun Li couldn’t help but admire them for a while before sending them to Fu Wanyi.

[Yun Li: I took them so well, they didn’t even need editing!]

[Fu Wanyi: It’s because you’re just too pretty, junior.]

[Yun Li: Senior, you’re also very beautiful!]

[Fu Wanyi: Really? [Surprised][Surprised][Surprised]]

[Yun Li: Yes, yes! Could it be that senior has some misunderstanding about her own looks?]

[Fu Wanyi: So, junior really admires my appearance?]

After sending this message, Fu Wanyi’s heart uncontrollably sped up.

Soon, Yun Li’s reply came.

[Yun Li: Yes, I really adore your looks, senior!]

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Fu Wanyi’s brows and eyes were tinged with delight.

[Fu Wanyi: Junior, your words are as sweet as honey.]

And they had sweetened her heart as well.

[Yun Li: What do you mean? I’m just telling the truth~]

The more Yun Li said this, the happier Fu Wanyi became. She couldn’t resist sending a cat-hugging sticker.

Yun Li quickly replied with a nuzzling sticker.

Seeing this, Fu Wanyi couldn’t help but imagine Yun Li asking for a nuzzle, and the thought was so adorable that it made her heart flutter even more.

Yun Li had no idea what Fu Wanyi was thinking. Remembering what Fu Wanyi had said at the barbecue restaurant, she turned to her other three roommates.

“By the way, what are your plans for National Day?”

As soon as Yun Li spoke, Bei Qingqing and the other two looked over.

“Why do you ask?” Qiu Jingmei asked.

“I’m not planning to go home for National Day. What about you guys?”

Hearing this, Bei Qingqing was quite surprised. “Yun Li, why aren’t you going home?”

“I plan to spend a few days touring Nan City during National Day. What about you guys?”

Qiu Jingmei was a little tempted but shook her head. “I can’t. I have to go home.”

Qiu Jingmei was from Ming City, which was quite close to Nan City, just over two hours by high-speed rail.

Hearing this, Yun Li wasn’t surprised. She turned to Bei Qingqing and Fang Haiyi. “What about you two?”

Bei Qingqing also shook her head. “I’m going home too.”

Fang Haiyi said, “I’m not going home, but I’ve already made plans with my high school classmates.”

She and her high school classmates had all been admitted to A University, and they had agreed to spend National Day touring Nan City together.

Hearing this, Yun Li wasn’t disappointed. In fact, she mentally gave a little cheer.

“Alright, I see.”

Seeing this, Fang Haiyi felt a bit sorry for her. “Should I ask my classmate?”

“About what?”

“If she minds bringing you along.”

Faced with Fang Haiyi’s kindness, Yun Li smiled and declined. “No need! I have a Plan B!”

“What’s Plan B?” Fang Haiyi asked curiously.

“Senior Fu is a local. She said if you guys weren’t staying, she could show me around Nan City.”

Thinking of Fu Wanyi, Fang Haiyi couldn’t help but say, “Senior Fu is really nice.”

“Yeah.”

After saying this, Yun Li sent a message to Fu Wanyi.

[Yun Li: Senior, senior~]

[Fu Wanyi: What’s wrong?]

[Yun Li: I’ve asked my roommates. Qingqing and Jingmei are going home for the National Day holiday, while Haiyi has made plans with her classmates.]

Fu Wanyi’s eyes lit up instantly. Before she could reply, Yun Li’s message came through again.

[Yun Li: So I’ll be counting on you to show me around during the National Day holiday~]

[Fu Wanyi: It’s no trouble at all.]

How could this be considered trouble? She couldn’t have asked for anything better.
