QT: Against My Will

196 4.20 – Preparation – Dangerous Angels

The forgotten Fei Lan wanted to throw an atomic bomb at this crazy duo! ‘No wonder I couldn’t understand a thing. This whole time, they were fooling around!’

“Any idea who it might be?” Not avoiding his touch, Bing Shi sent Kuro to check the people in the mansion.

“It could be anyone.” After crossing out Bing Shi, there was another person on his list. He tilted down his face, blocking the light of the wall lamp from illuminating her expression, “Bing Shi?”

‘Don’t tell me... he wants to use me to get rid of the other host?’

“Hm?” Bing Shi didn’t avoid his gaze.

“Do you want to reminiscent our past?” He covered them with the blanket and patted his laps.

“Not really,” Bing Shi put her knee in between his legs, face to face, she mouthed out, asking about his intention.

‘The concubine thingy?’

‘Exactly.’ Ru Quan laughed out in delight, “I missed you.”

.....

Bing Shi kneed his crotch, her nose barely grazed against his, “Me or little monster?”

“Ugh, Bing Shi be gentle,” he moaned out, supporting the blanket with his arms, he sent out a flying kiss provocatively. What surprised him was the soft texture of her lips, pressing against his. The defense around him crumbled like a sandcastle, washed out by a high wave, leaving behind nothing but damp sand. Before he could recollect himself, she sank her teeth into his lips. “Argh,” he hissed in pain, “Nggh.”

“You really had to miss me,” Bing Shi wiped his lips, she nudged his hard groin with her knee as she whispered to his ears, “If women knew about your inability in bed, perhaps, they’d give up sooner. Fortunately, I don’t care about sex.”

Was she trying to chase the other host by lying about his impotence? No, she was testing his self-control. Ru Quan tilted his head, licking her ear, his tone oppressive, “You really need a rough spanking.”

“Leave it for you know who,” Bing Shi struggled out of the blanket. Didn’t Xuan Mu appear after the kiss? Why was nothing happening?

“Do you think I’ll give you over easily like that little boy?” He grabbed her bum, squeezing it hard, “It took him so many years to accept his past. See how little time it took me, compared to him.”

“Only thanks to that little boy, could you be here today. Don’t be ungrateful.” Bing Shi showed his hands away, not liking how he talked about Ziek, “Touch me any more, and I’m going to wake up the whole mansion.”

Ru Quan saw her sickly complexion, pulling his hands away, he inhaled the stuffy air mixed with their combined scents, “Need me to help you scream my name?”

Not feeling his touch, she stared at his concerned expression, caressing his swollen bottom lip with her fingertip, “I can help myself.”

“What was your mission again?” he asked, the corner of his lips stretched into a cunning smile.

Bing Shi returned his smile, “My mission is to make you fall for me.” A mission that was given by none other than Xuan Mu.

“What do I get in exchange?” he asked, expecting her answer.

“My heart,” Bing Shi patted her chest, “Deal?”

Ru Quan, ‘It’s already mine.’

‘You are partly correct.’

Her heart was not enough for him, Ru Quan knocked her forehead lightly, “Deal.”

Was it for the show? Who knew? Refusing to compromise, they constantly tested each other’s character. Both wanted to be in control, jumping from high to low with their constant fights and reconciliations, making it hard for others to keep up with their dynamics.

Uncovering their sweaty bodies, he softly kissed her lips, pulling away right after, knowing very well that she accepted it for someone else. Her loyalty was insane, just like his. They both feel like cheaters, a term they despise from deep within their souls. But they couldn’t forget the purpose within their hearts, resulting in their lips connecting again.

What about the promise Ru Quan gave to Bai Meili?

‘Don’t judge the book by its cover,’ they say.

Well, this saying didn’t work on him. Bai Meili’s ethereal beauty was like his curse. He was a very visual person and liked to appreciate beauty. Every time she stepped on a scene, it was like a goddess bestowing her visit to mere mortals. What man wouldn’t get interested in such a woman? A blind one.

Bai Meili was the only person who could cure his insomnia, a special existence, which he had to keep at all costs. He wanted to mend their relationship, but after he unintentionally killed her, there’d always be this enmity between them. In the second lifetime, he was raising his rank as an official as fast as he could. All Bai Meili had to do was wait, yet she angered him to death by turning her back against him again. There’s so much he could tolerate, but enough was enough. At the end of the day, Bai Meili never loved him, she moved on from the past, fell in love with another man, and became an empress while he was stuck in the muds. Between them, there’s no future. Nevertheless, his guilt resumed when the said man, the new emperor, killed Bai Meili.

As soon as the former empress died, a new one took her place. He decided to end his life, to follow after Bai Meili. But what caught him off guard was the new empress’ servant. She paid him a visit out of the blue and confessed her sins, not at all caring that she was speaking to a dead man. Clothed in black, her bottom face was covered. While caressing his hair, she blamed him for not being able to put Bai Meili on a leash, else, he could’ve had a happy ending. Her teary eyes were hard to ignore. He wanted to wipe them off, but his hand passed through. She left after placing some fruits on his body...

Suspicious, he described the thing that servant left behind to Bing Shi. And guess what? He got to know that the food Bing Shi detested the most, were bananas and anything sour.

The rest was history.

Why didn’t he notice sooner?

Why did she cry?

Why...

Why?

Why?!
