Chapter 16: So lewd!
Liang Man has recently been at a loss for words to describe her life.
If it can be described as a complete mess, then that could be considered a compliment.
Ever since that kiss...
Her dreams no longer have new plots; now she is tormented by the same dream every night.
In her dream, she saw a different version of Qi Shaoyou.
The clear, dark blue eyes were gone, replaced by a pair of blood-red eyes.
She was still wearing the white dress that Liang Man was most familiar with, but you could tell at a glance that she was different from before.
Qi Shaoyou clutched Liang Man's clothes, his eyes filled with pain and resentment: "I didn't ask for much, I just wanted to stay by Master's side for the rest of my life, to be an ordinary disciple..."
"I will stay by Master's side and never leave him for a moment. I am willing to share Master with others; I can only take up a tiny bit of Master's time..."
"I just want to see my master once a day."
"But why...why won't Master grant even such a humble wish?"
"Just because I'm a demon? Then how about Master shave my bones and pull out my soul?"
"Make me into prayer beads and place me in Master's palm every day!"
If it's something almost insane, no matter how many times Liang Man dreams about it, it will shake her to her core.
But there was nothing she could do. She could only lie in the brocade quilt and clearly feel the child's tears rolling down her face.
The temperature was scalding, even hotter than lava, and the intense despair it brought almost burned through her heart.
The pain was so real that it would spill into reality from her dreams, making it impossible for her to find peace of mind.
"You won't even look at me...?"
In the dream, Qi Shaoyou's voice was broken, as if he was making a final struggle.
Liang Man remained silent, forcing herself to look away.
The next second, a kiss, tinged with the stench of blood, landed heavily, burning and filled with despair.
It couldn't really be called a kiss; it was more like a release of anger and frustration. Teeth and lips collided, and blood flowed freely.
"Smack!"
A hard slap sent Qi Shaoyou's head spinning to the side.
Her once fair and delicate face was now marked with bright red handprints.
"Yes... I have betrayed my master and ancestors so much that I am truly unworthy of his mercy."
"This is the right thing for Master to do to me."
The weight on his body suddenly disappeared, and Qi Shaoyou staggered backward, turning around and leaving the place.
If the dream had ended there, Liang Man might not have suffered so much.
But the scenes in the dream continued.
Just as the child closed the door to the room, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
She weakly slid down the door panel and sat on the ground, curling herself into a small ball.
Tears mingled with blood from her lips, spreading across her clothes.
The only advantage of a black robe is that even if it's stained with blood, it won't be visible.
Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating her trembling uncontrollably as she hid by the door, utterly desperate.
The suppressed sobs scraped at Liang Man's heart like a dull knife.
In her dream, Liang Man remained lying disheveled in a brocade quilt, her clothes in disarray, without moving an inch.
The similarities between the situations made it impossible for her to concentrate on her work.
Fang Yuan watched Liang Man lose focus and could only sigh.
This matter still needs to be resolved...
In the dormitory, Qi Shaoyou was sitting at his desk drawing a draft.
0527 often felt that Qi Shaoyou had a cold and aloof face, but he was always more gentle than anyone else when it came to doing things.
Qi Shaoyou shook his head, not thinking he was being gentle.
If I were gentle, I wouldn't be able to complete my villainous missions.
Whenever this happens, 0527 always asks her how she manages to complete the task so quickly.
Most people in this world don't really care what you do. Instead, they'll be swayed by how you treat them...
Qi Shaoyou smiled.
Because of these reasons, sometimes even if I do a good deed, a slightly rude attitude is enough to provoke the other person's disgust.
0527 originally agreed wholeheartedly, believing that this is how humans should be. Arrogance and prejudice prevent people from seeing what others have done, and what they have heard others say becomes their standard of judgment.
But recently, after observing those mission targets, she began to have doubts.
She always felt that those people seemed to be different from what the big boss had said.
[Forget it, no need to remind the big boss. She definitely understands; there must be a deeper meaning behind what the big boss is doing!]
Unable to figure it out, 0527 simply shook his head and went to his little room to play games.
Qi Shaoyou had finished half of the drawing in his hand when his phone rang.
She paused slightly when she saw the contact person's name.
"Shaoyou," a gentle voice came from the other end of the screen, "How have you been at school lately? It's going to get colder soon, do you have enough warm clothes?"
Qi Shaoyou's knuckles tightened slightly as he gripped his phone, while his other hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the pencil.
She opened her mouth, but something seemed to be blocking her throat, and after a long while, she responded softly:
"...That's enough."
Her voice carried emotions she herself was unaware of.
Fang Yuanjie's ability to speak so gently is probably due to Sister Manman teaching her word by word.
After all, the two of them were speaking in almost the exact same tone.
"How about going home in a couple of days?"
On the other end of the phone, Fang Yuan's gentle voice came through, but it made Qi Shaoyou's heart sink.
She couldn't refuse; if she did, it would definitely be judged as a passive strategy.
But the word "go home" always made Qi Shaoyou feel a subconscious sense of guilt.
The image that appeared before her eyes was that of Sister Manman, whose face always wore a gentle smile.
Three seconds later, that face with a gentle smile turned into a look of astonishment after being kissed.
There was no reply from the phone; silence stretched between the two ends.
Just when Fang Yuan thought she wouldn't answer, Qi Shaoyou finally found her voice.
"good."
She paused, as if gathering her strength, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the patrol team's uniform jacket.
"But I recently joined the patrol team and I have a lot of things to do."
"Let's go back later, on the day of the Beginning of Winter, okay?"
She wasn't lying.
The school courses are fun, and she wants to finish what she's doing.
Since a time had been agreed upon, Fang Yuan didn't say anything more, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then hung up the phone.
"Here, I did what you asked me to do." Fang Yuan gently placed her phone on the coffee table, then looked up at the slender figure by the window. "Liang Man, now it's your turn to pull yourself together."
Liang Man turned around, a faint smile curving her lips.
She nodded gently, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the tassels of the curtains before slowly releasing them.
Yes, Mengli Shaoyou took the wrong path.
In real life, she led her, held her hand, and guided her step by step, teaching her little by little.
If you swim less, you won't get lost.
"Yes, it's alright now," she said softly, as if speaking to Fang Yuan, but also as if speaking to herself.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Shaoyou casually tossed his phone onto the table, the screen making a crisp sound as it hit the surface.
She leaned back in her chair, her chest feeling heavy, as if something was blocking it, and even her breathing felt sluggish.
What exactly did Liang Man want to talk to her about?
She's panicking! She never had to worry about this when she was doing villainous missions!
This damn system won't even give you a favorability rating! What a rip-off! Just shut it down!
Just as she was feeling upset, a hurried figure burst in.
It's a sinking screen.
Qi Shaoyou couldn't help but facepalm. This guy always managed to show up precisely when she least wanted to be disturbed.
"Oh! My dear Juliet." Chen Ping opened her arms wide; today's performance was of Shakespeare...
Qi Shaoyou clenched his fists silently, barely suppressing the urge to sew the guy's mouth shut.
How can there be someone in the world who sings like an electronic flower on a birthday cake, never taking a break once they start singing?
People who spend a lot of time on screens aren't necessarily high-energy users; they practically have the world's strongest battery...
“Sister You,” Chen Ping leaned closer to her, raising an eyebrow as she asked, “Are you really going to make that proposal?”
"You're already drawing! That's so cool!"
Qi Shaoyou simply dropped everything he was holding and looked at Chen Ping.
"Yes, the release of alph essence last time is not safe for omegas."
"Standardized equipment needs to be upgraded, and adding a pop-out forced bite stopper is the most direct method."
She answered Chen Ping's question very seriously and professionally.
“You’re right, but…”
Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, while Qi Shaoyou became somewhat nervous. Chen Ping had just met Song Youbai, could it be...?
After all, Song Youbai's proposal was closely related to hers.
What changes will occur, or what did Song Youbai and Shen Ping say to each other?
"This proposal is so lewd!"
"Anti-biting device, oh dear~"
"Just imagine, what if Miss Shen forces you to mark her? And then you pop out the anti-bite device, and your mouth won't close..."
"And then... crystal clear..."
Qi Shaoyou grabbed a cushion from the side and threw it at Chen Ping's face.
What's going on in this person's head?!

Qi Shaoyou: Family, do you think I can kill this guy by throwing this pillow down? [Angry]
Screenshot: Show some respect for the prophet! How could you do this?! [Glasses]
