Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 83. (2/2)
Bai Qing Qing looked up to see Xiao Yang standing there, looking at her with burning eyes.
They hadn’t seen each other for a while, and there seemed to be a slight unfamiliarity between them. He stood there foolishly, keeping a distance, unlike before when he clung to her like a little wolfdog, asking for things in the car.
Bai Qing Qing noticed his nervousness, softly asking, “What’s wrong? Do you need something?”
Seeing her usual gentle demeanor, Xiao Yang became a bit bolder, quickly stepping over and squatting in front of her. He said apologetically, “Qing Qing, I’m sorry I didn’t come to find you.”
Bai Qing Qing never blamed them. Who could blame Bai Tian Tian for being the protagonist? She and the team were separated by an accident. No one could be blamed.
She rubbed the boy’s chestnut hair, smiling. “Why apologize? You must have looked for me. What could you do if you couldn’t find me?”
The girl was too understanding. Xiao Yang’s guilt deepened. Every time something happened, Bai Tian Tian was fine, but Qing Qing always encountered danger. He couldn’t imagine how a delicate girl like her reached the City of Death.
How scared she must have been, facing dangers alone. Did she blame him for taking her out of the base but failing to protect her?
“Qing Qing hit me.” Xiao Yang still felt guilty, grabbing her hand and slapping his face. “You hitting me will make me feel better.”
Bai Qing Qing pulled her hand back, smiling down at him. “I’m fine. Get up now.”
Xiao Yang leaned over her legs, his face to the side, revealing his soft, vulnerable side. “Qing Qing, I’m really sorry.”
He finally understood why Fu Chen had beaten him up before. He couldn’t ensure Bai Qing Qing’s safety without being strong enough, and he even put her in danger.
After learning of her disappearance in Fog City, he was devastated, heartbroken, and hated himself for secretly taking her in the car.
Bai Qing Qing patted his head, her eyes flickering with a faint smile. The boy’s pure heart was easy to see through. “I don’t blame you.”
Xiao Yang looked up at her. “Qing Qing, if we can leave the City of Death alive, will you be with me?”
He always wanted a definite answer from her. Only with her promise could he be at ease.
The boy’s eyes were full of affection, hoping for her answer.
Bai Qing Qing lowered her lashes slightly and softly said, “Okay.”
She was delighted to hear the system’s confirmation that Xiao Yang’s character strategy was successful. He loved her dearly, just like Cheng Rui at the Yaoyang base, who was already deeply infatuated.
Bai Qing Qing pushed him. “We have tasks tomorrow. Go rest.”
“Okay.” Xiao Yang stood up obediently. After a few steps, he quickly returned, kissing her on the cheek. “See you tomorrow.”
Bai Qing Qing watched his retreating figure, the smile on her lips fading, her gaze deepening.
After Shen Ming Xuan had regained his memory, she could start her own strategy. But since his identity had changed, she had to find another opportunity.
Brother Fu Chen and the old fox Liang Zhiyu were the main tasks remaining. She wasn’t worried about her brother. How should she strategize Liang Zhiyu? He always seemed like an outsider watching the show, making him difficult to deal with.
“Are you really going to be with Xiao Yang?” A gentle, cool voice asked, like the night breeze. “Fu Chen won’t agree.”
Bai Qing Qing was startled, looking at the man not far away. Dressed in white, his handsome face wore a faint smile as if he had seen through her.
Her delicate face turned pale. “When did you get here?”
Liang Zhiyu walked over and sat beside her. “I’ve been here the whole time, but you didn’t notice.”
He gave her a probing look. “I’m curious. Are you planning a love game to play with them because they once despised you? Playing with their hearts?”
Bai Qing Qing looked at him with innocent eyes, her expression pitiful. She softly asked, “Doctor Liang, why would you think that?”
“Isn’t it?” Liang Zhiyu traced her charming face with his fingers. “Cheng Rui, Xiao Yang, and even your ‘brother’ Fu Chen are all your prey. Whoever falls will be abandoned by you.”
“You little fox.” The man’s voice lowered with a smile. “I’m probably one of your prey too.”
Bai Qing Qing’s eyes sparkled. She placed her hand on his chest, her voice sweet. “What about you, Doctor Liang? Have you fallen for me?”
