The Vicious Female Character at the End of Days: C38.1

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 38. (1/2)

Cheng Rui could sense her unease. Perhaps it was the new environment, the absence of familiar faces, but her entire being exuded fear.

This frustrated him. She felt afraid and uneasy beside him. Was it because her brother wasn’t there, or was she afraid he would impulsively take advantage of her?

He was naturally a man of few words, incapable of offering comfort. The two stood facing each other in silence.

Bai Qing Qing stood there for a while, holding her cup. Seeing he had nothing to say, she lowered her eyes and said, “I’m going back to my room.”

Before she could move, a large hand grasped her arm, its heat burning.

Bai Qing Qing tensed for a moment, quickly concealing it, but in that instant, Cheng Rui sensed her resistance.

“Is there anything else?” Her voice trembled slightly.

Cheng Rui stared at her with his dark eyes, a surge of frustration rising within him. He said in a low voice, “My brother and I discussed it. We’ve sent someone to look for Captain Fu and the others. We should have news in the next few days.”

Therefore, she didn’t need to worry about Fu Chen and the others. Each of them possessed high-level abilities, they were all powerful figures in the apocalypse and would be safe.

It was only a matter of time before the team arrived at Yaoyang Base, and they would soon come to find her.

Bai Qing Qing raised her delicate, fair face, her eyes crinkling with a smile. “Thank you, Cheng Rui,” she said, a little embarrassed. “I was a little worried about my brother and the others.”

The team consisted entirely of her main and side quest targets, not a single one could be missing.

If Yaoyang Base sent out ability users to search, they would surely find the Thunder Squad, who had disappeared for several days, very quickly and bring them back to the base.

Cheng Rui could sense her genuine joy, but he still felt a little uneasy.

He didn’t let go of the girl. Her delicate arms were slender and soft, he could easily hold them in one hand, as if a slight squeeze would snap them.

The girl was somewhat like a porcelain doll, her delicate and fragile appearance requiring meticulous care.

“Qing Qing,” he said in a deep voice.

“Hmm?” Bai Qing Qing looked at him, puzzled.

Cheng Rui pulled her close, holding her arm. Bathed in the soft moonlight, his tall, muscular figure completely enveloped her in shadow.

“What I said the other day, what have you thought about?”

He had a keen intuition that her previous words were just a perfunctory response. Had she never truly considered being with him, hence her wariness?

Her saying she’d wait for Fu Chen’s return to make a decision—was she stalling for time, planning to run into her fake brother’s arms once the team arrived at Yaoyang Base and leave with him?

The bases were far apart, even at the fastest speed, it would take several days to get there, and with various troubles, it would take at least half a month.

If she left, he would hardly see her again.

Bai Qing Qing hadn’t expected Cheng Rui to bring it up at this time. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at his calm face, her feelings a mix of emotions.

She had thought Cheng Rui was a loyal knight, someone who would never force the one he protected to change their mind.

Perhaps her acting wasn’t quite there yet, and Cheng Rui sensed something, eagerly seeking an answer.

She hadn’t completely won Cheng Rui over, and Bai Qing Qing was in a dilemma. She didn’t want to reject him directly. If he were rejected and completely lost heart, and another woman appeared to heal him, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

Cheng Rui was a man overflowing with hormones, giving women a strong sense of security. Whether in Wucheng or during the zombie horde, he risked his life to protect her, which had indeed moved her somewhat.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t fallen in love with him, and for now, she couldn’t love anyone else. If she fell in love, no one else would catch her eye, which meant the mission would fail, and she would die.

Cheng Rui was currently only attracted to her, not deeply in love yet. She needed to work harder.

“Cheng Rui…” Bai Qing Qing began.

Cheng Rui suddenly interrupted, “Don’t say it.”

He didn’t want to hear her rejection, not at all. He wanted to respect her, but his possessiveness was tempting him to disregard his inhibitions.

Bai Qing Qing’s eyes flickered. She took his hand in her small one and said, “You really don’t want to hear what I have to say?”

Since Cheng Rui had made their relationship clear, she wanted to leave him with another lasting impression.

The girl’s voice was soft and sweet, carrying a small plea that was irresistible.

Cheng Rui was tall and strong, too imposing for her. Looking up at him and speaking was difficult. She remembered him kneeling before her, submissive, his tamed appearance making her heart itch.

“Squat down.”

Cheng Rui’s eyes were deep and unfathomable. Obeying her command, he knelt before her like a tamed wolf, loyal and submissive.

Bai Qing Qing looked down at him, her voice tinged with grievance: “You said you wanted to be with me, but do you even know what kind of person I am?”

Cheng Rui was about to speak when she reached out a slender finger and pressed it to his lips. “Let me finish.”

“I have a bad temper, I’m spoiled and willful, and I’m lazy and don’t like doing anything.” Bai Qing Qing bit her lip and said, “Once you understand me, you won’t like me anymore.”

She lowered her eyelashes, concealing the dark light in her eyes, and whispered, “I’m very bad.”

At this moment, Cheng Rui was unaware that he was slowly falling into a trap, and he didn’t know that she was telling the truth.

She really was bad, making a man both hate and love her, wanting to hold her tightly in his arms, bite her lying mouth, and blind her bewitching eyes.
