QT: Against My Will

142 3.12.47 – Overdosed – Downfall of Humanity

‘How did she tame that son of a bitch?’ Fu Lian watched Bing Shi’s interaction with Ren Han with a pinch of salt. She returned inside of her space and snuggled into Yi Zen’s chest lazily; her nails clawed at his chest like a runty kitten, “You won’t believe this. Your ‘little sister’ came all the way here to pick up her brother.”

‘Now that she forgot about her boyfriend, she wants to steal my man? What makes her think that Yi Zen’ll get interested in her?’ Fu Lian thought in her mind.

Yi Zen raised his eyebrows. Just one look outside and his kitten took the initiative already?

“I have to go out. Everyone has to be worried,” he responded.

“Alright,” Fu Lian didn’t protest, she created enough problems. ‘Because of me, he left for two days. I know how important are the soldiers to him. I can’t keep him here forever.’

Getting out of the bed, her legs went weak from all the psychical activity. If it weren’t for Yi Zen’s fast reflexes, she’d have fallen.

“Careful,” Yi Zen held her up in a princess carry.

Fu Lian hooked her arms around his neck and nodded. Silently she ported both of them out. Outside, she looked at the trio expressionlessly. But to her surprise, she was ignored, “...”

.....

Bing Shi sat opposite of Ziek – both of them were playing a game on her tablet, where two kickboxers were fighting against each other on the screen.

“Nooo,” Bing Shi tabbed with her finger on the attack and defense button randomly, the moment she started losing, “No! No! Noooooo.”

*Tab*

*Tab*

*Tab*

“You are so bad,” Ziek read her finger pattern, and attacked before she could tab on defense, “Your loss.”

Before he could win, Bing Shi seized her tablet, shocking him senseless.

“This, grandson, is how you win in life.” She tabbed on the attack button until his avatar died, “When you think you’re about to win, it’s your loss.”

*Tab*

*Tab*

*Tab*

Ziek, ‘Fuck her!’

Bing Shi showed him his GAME OVER with a thug smile, “I don’t know how to curse, so duck me.”

“...” Ziek turned away from her, his jaw clenched, like hell will he go according to her. When he saw the other couple, his smile grew wide, “Next time, I won’t show any mercy.”

“You learn fast,” Bing Shi laughed at him for finding a loophole, “So smart!”

Ziek grinned, proud of his performance, he turned back to Bing Shi, “Grandma, you should learn how to curse.”

“Duck you,” Bing Shi put her tablet inside her backpack and lifted her eyes at him, “Witch.”

“...Pfft...” Ziek’s jaw started to hurt. It’s not only the way she is saying it, but the intonation, the posture, and the timing... It’s so on point. ??

Hearing his laughter, Bing Shi reached out her little palm, “That would be one LVL 4 nucleus.”

Ziek took out a green LVL 4 nucleus from his pocket and gave it to her as if it was nothing. Others would cough up blood if they saw this, LVL 4 nuclei were not an easy matter, and he was giving them out like candies, just because she said so?!

Bing Shi accepted the nucleus happily, placing it inside her pouch, she motioned for Ziek to stand up, so she could put the blanket back inside her backpack.

Fu Lian looked at the LVL 4 nuclei that she needed to upgrade her space enviously. ‘She got it just like that?!’ Then up at the chuckling Yi Zen. Just one small laughter of her lover and she felt threatened. It took her lots of self-control not to bark at him, she knew, no man wanted an overly jealous woman. Holding his neck tighter, she put her head over his shoulder to gain his attention back.

Yi Zen felt his moving kitten, “Tired?”

“It’s all your fault,” Fu Lian nodded her head silently, “Seems like your sister is having fun with another man.”

Yi Zen nodded his head in response and followed after the trio.

Kuro curled itself into a throne for Bing Shi to sit up in a cross-legged position and pretended that it was Ziek who manipulated her in the air.

At the back of the van, Yi Zen looked coldly at Bing Shi, who was clearly ignoring his existence. “Why did you come here? You know it’s dangerous,” saying, his tone intimidating.

Fu Lian smiled and watched the upcoming scene.

“Kuro said you disappeared with Miss Fu Lian and left it alone,” Bing Shi hugged Kuro, “I ‘thought’ you’d be too tired to fly back to the base with a hungry stomach and not enough sleep. I didn’t want to wake up others, but lucky Ren Han was awake. I grabbed the chance to pick you up.” She glanced at Yi Zen and Fu Lian in the rear mirror, “Seeing you carrying additional weight, I think I made a correct choice.”

Ziek’s mouth twitched. Who was awake? Well, still better than saying that he barged into her tent. Why did he think that if he didn’t appear inside her tent, she wouldn’t come here? And how correct he was, Bing Shi would be stupid if she didn’t grab this great opportunity.

Yi Zen switched his gaze between Ren Han and Bing Shi. How did she persuade him to accompany her? Ren Han was not someone who would listen to such orders.

“I thought you don’t meet up with men alone,” said Yi Zen.

“That’s how far I’d go for my ‘closest’ ones. I break the rules,” Bing Shi took out the LVL 4 nuclei from her pouch and gave it to Ziek, “Here for the fare back, you can keep the change.”

Ziek accepted the nucleus, his lips twitching, “...”

‘Who said I’m playing around with men?! I’m working 24/7! (-?-)’

Without any effort, Bing Shi cleared her reputation before Fu Lian’s eyes. Nothing was free in this world; that’s why Bing Shi paid Ziek for his services – asking for help? No. Bing Shi didn’t want to be indebted to anyone, let others take advantage of it.
