QT: Against My Will

151 3.14.56 – Ho Ho Ho – Downfall of Humanity

“Does it matter?” Fu Lian frowned, “Why did you not kill him?” Was this how he was supposed to show his love to her?

Yi Zen walked back to his chair and grabbed the bottle of wine, taking a gulp, he asked, “Why should I kill him?” He took off his top drenched in alcohol, saying, “Besides praising my ‘girlfriend,’ what else did he do?”

Yi Zen couldn’t follow after Ren Han without thinking, or else, he’d fall for his traps again. Well, there shouldn’t be much energy left in Ren Han; he still had to pass through Kuro.

“...” Fu Lian tried not to ogle at Yi Zen’s perfect body, “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll steal me from you?” She covered her mouth in shame, almost forgetting that they broke up a few hours ago! When she heard that Yi Zen got injured because of her, she rushed here without thinking.

Yi Zen sat in the comfort of his chair, sipping on the wine, he stared at the flickering fire before him and chuckled, “Not afraid.”

“Don’t be too confident just because you are handsome!” Quickly uncovering her mouth, she walked back to the base in irritation, ‘Just you wait, I’ll make you regret those words! But where am I going to find a better man than Yi Zen?!? If only that disgusting pig was more handsome!’

“What are you thinking about?” Bing Shi walked towards Yi Zen with Kuro in her hands, “No, let me guess. You’re thinking how you are getting out of the smoke, right?”

“Shouldn’t you be at the base?” asked Yi Zen, noticing her walking from the opposite direction. He thought about Bing Shi appearing with Kuro and his bet with Ren Han. “...” Was he going to lose again?

.....

“After Qua Tao took me to the new spot, I waited for everyone to disappear,” Bing Shi put Kuro on her shoulder and reached her hands towards the fire to warm them up. Turning her head, she stared at Yi Zen’s bare chest, “Are you drunk? Why are you flexing your chest?”

“...” He looked at her with a deadpan expression, “If you don’t like it, stop staring at it.” Who was flexing his chest? His shirt got drenched! Why did she have to make everything sound so awkward? “I heard you burned your hoodie.”

‘That brat!’

Well, she didn’t tell him to keep it as a secret. “Ehm...yes,” Bing Shi coughed out awkwardly, “I was in a bad mood. I couldn’t blame you, so I took it out on that poor hoodie instead.”

Yi Zen didn’t buy her nonsense, taking out his phone he showed her the file, “He said you described me, is that true?”

‘That brat!’

“Stop believing everything he says. I wasn’t describing you,” said Bing Shi truthfully, “I was describing the majority of the male population.”

Her words sounded legit, Yi Zen nodded, “Send your Kuro away before I lost my bet.”

Bing Shi hugged Kuro and looked at him in disbelief, “Is that what’s going through your mind?”

“En,” said Yi Zen with a smile.

Bing Shi reached out her hand immediately, “I want the bet money.”

Yi Zen gave her a LVL 6 nucleus. Better losing to his little sister than Ren Han.

Happily placing the blue crystal inside her pouch, she sent Kuro back to the base. “Next time you make a bet, count me in,” she giggled; her bad mood disappeared, “I’m good at betting.”

Yi Zen thought she would protest, “You are cheaper than I thought.”

“That’s a sure thing,” said Bing Shi smugly, “I’m the cheapest.” Because Kuro was gone, she took off her backpack, “Yi Zen, I forgot to bring a chair.”

“Then sit on the ground,” Yi Zen didn’t move from his chair, looking at Ren Han’s empty seat next to him. She just took a LVL 6 from him, what more did she want?

“Can’t you see my cute puppy eyes?” Bing Shi blinked her eyes through the gas mask, “I want your chair, please.”

Yi Zen saw no cuteness in his little sister, “No.”

“Not even if I tilt my head?” Bing Shi tilted her head adorably, trying out her persuasive skills.

“Not even if you tilt your head,” Yi Zen’s eyes showed a little warmth. He disliked spoiled women who thought that they’d get everything by acting cute. To taunt him, his little sister decided to become that type of woman. An exact opposite of the independent Fu Lian. “I see no improvements in your acting,” he said.

“That’s because I have a bad teacher,” Bing Shi crouched before the fire and noticed a new addition, “Oh, grandson and...miss Fu Lian.” She waved at Ren Han and Fu Lian on his shoulders.

The locked Fu Lian elbowed Ren Han’s back and kicked his family jewels in her head, “Put me down, you bastard!”

Ren Han ignored her words and threw Fu Lian above Yi Zen’s lap. Sitting next to his chair grumpily, he plopped his chin on his hand, “Man, she tried to heal my scars with her magical water to make you jealous...”

Yi Zen sent Fu Lian a questioning look. “Is this how you want to take your revenge on me?” he whispered and bit her ear, “So childish.”

The flustered Fu Lian ran into her space in humiliation. Weren’t those two fighting over her a moment ago?!? Didn’t Ren Han say that he loved her? Why did he betray her right after? She felt like a little lamb among a group of wolves!

Fu Lian looked at the fainted Yi Zen bellow her, “...” She forgot that she was still sitting on his lap!! In a panic, she pushed the sleeping man out of her space.

· · — · ???· — · ·

Ren Han stole a glimpse at his crush. Opening his mouth, he was about to say something, but his mind went blank. Wasn’t he fine a moment ago? Why was nervous again?!

Knowing that Yi Zen was still breathing, Bing Shi turned her head towards Ren Han. “Does it count as me not being alone with a man?” she started to laugh out loud, “Oh my goodness, what a god-like move.”

“...” Unable to speak out loud, he stared at Bing Shi with a stupid grin. Somebody, please, make him disappear.
