Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"Brother Weiran, do you think I had a good time today?"

"Very good," Bai Weiran praised frankly.

They left him and Wu Ji far behind.

Qin Ning rolled her eyes and smiled brightly.

Xx

The photo session was short because the organizers had to clear the area to welcome players for the next time slot.

Bai Weiran and the others changed their clothes and gathered at the theater entrance to hail a taxi.

Ah Chao, wearing a beige scarf, walked up to Bai Weiran with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Weiran, I'm going back to the company too!"

Bai Weiran didn't use the time after get off work for team building. Instead, he let everyone come out after lunch and they spent the whole afternoon doing team building, which just passed the end of the workday.

The next step is for everyone to choose whether to go back to the company to work overtime or go straight home.

There was no doubt that Bai Weiran chose to go back to the company to work overtime.

I've never seen him leave the company before 9 p.m.

He planned to ride in the same car as Bai Weiran and travel with him, while secretly reminding Bai Weiran that Li Liang, Dong Zhengyuan, and Sheng Nan from his group were acting suspiciously and seemed to be plotting against him. He also took the opportunity to sincerely express his unwavering support for Brother Weiran.

His body was in Cao Cao's camp, but his heart was with Han.

He's had too few opportunities to spend time with Bai Weiran lately. He's busy, and Bai Weiran is busy too. They can never manage to have lunch together. There aren't many opportunities to eat together to begin with, and Wu Ji always has to interfere and take up the chances.

Thinking of this, Ah Chao looked at Wu Ji with a mixture of jealousy and hostility.

Wu Ji was being bombarded with questions about the project by Xue Xue, who was blinking her starry eyes at him. But it was obvious that Xue Xue's real intention was not the project, but the handsome guy. She praised him relentlessly, and no matter how casually Wu Ji answered, he would get Xue Xue's responses like "Really?", "Is that so?", "Oh my god, I didn't know that?", and "You're so amazing!".

Clearly, when faced with someone she's interested in, Princess Yu Yu knows how to manipulate male psychology.

If Wu Ji were a bit naive, self-important, or fond of being flattered, he would probably have become arrogant and conceited.

But Wu Ji was different. He remained calm and composed, his smile humble yet distant, playing the game of Tai Chi.

[It's alright], [I'm really bad], [That's because you don't know enough], [Your producers are much better than me]

He gave Xuexue a series of setbacks.

Xuexue became more determined despite setbacks, while Erwu, standing beside her, gazed sadly into the distance at Xuexue and Wuji, looking melancholy and muttering to himself.

"The iron-gray sky is just like the youth I saw when I was eighteen..."

Ah Chao withdrew his gaze and looked at Bai Weiran with anticipation.

"Oh, I'm not going back to the company."

Bai Weiran's words shattered all of A-Chao's expectations—

"I have something to do today."

Hey Zhang, hurry up and praise me for being big, strong, and long, or I'll throw a tantrum! (〃＞皿＜)

Chapter Twenty-Six: Salted Peppermint Candy

Bai Weiran and Qin Ning drove her home in one car.

This was a game reward that Qin Ning had asked Bai Weiran for.

Bai Weiran was very quiet in the car, his elbow resting on the window, his chin gently propped up. Qin Ning leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder. She didn't talk about work, but instead showed Bai Weiran her hand, which had been decorated with very delicate nail art. The cherry blossoms were painted with a light cherry blossom base, and the pink cherry blossoms and snow-white nail art were freehand and not too bright or lively, like the gentle spring blossoms blooming on her fingertips.

Bai Weiran is a straight man who doesn't understand nail art or the point of getting manicures.

Even though he's such a straight man, he still thinks it looks good.

It must be admitted that financial power is often directly linked to taste.

Qin Ning didn't usually get her nails done, but she liked cherry blossoms. She happened to see a model with this nail design in a catalog sent by a high-end brand, and she liked it so much that she asked the same nail technician to do it for her.

"I also think it looks good, but it's a bit troublesome," Qin Ning muttered to herself.

"You always bump into things when you're carrying them—"

She muttered about the downsides of perfect nails in life, then changed the subject.

"Spring is coming soon, let's go see the cherry blossoms then." Her eyes were bright and her face was smiling.

"It would be great to be able to enjoy cherry blossoms while soaking in a hot spring."

Bai Weiran doesn't particularly enjoy soaking in hot springs either.

I've been to those separate hot spring pools for men and women a few times with my family before.

He felt the water was too hot and he couldn't stay in it for long, so he got up, dressed, and went outside to find a vending machine to buy a cold drink.

Later, the parents went to the hot springs by themselves, without taking their children with them.

They were in the way.

Without them, you can book a small soup room and enjoy some alone time with just the two of you.

In the Bai family, parents are the true love, while children are merely accessories.

Seeing Qin Ning's enthusiasm, he didn't dampen her spirits, but just smiled and remained silent.

Qin Ning narrowed her charming eyes and glared at him.

When Wei Ran's brother dislikes something or doesn't want to do something, but doesn't want to directly object, he just smiles and remains silent, dealing with it slickly.

Because if he just agreed, he would really go with her.

He doesn't want to go with her right now.

They value promises very much, so they don't make them lightly.

When the car arrived at Qin Ning's residential area, Bai Weiran escorted Qin Ning to the entrance. Qin Ning said goodbye, waved to him, and turned to leave. After taking only three steps, she turned back and tucked a strand of hair that had blown onto her face behind her ear.

"Brother Weiran, would you like to come up and sit for a while?" she asked with a smile.

It wasn't snowing today, but the wind was particularly cold. Qin Ning was wearing a basil-green wool scarf, which fluttered in the wind like a malevolent flag.

"You haven't been to my house in ages. The parrot has learned almost eighty passages from the Analects of Confucius. Don't you want to listen to them?"

Bai Weiran: ...Good heavens, capitalists even exploit parrots, huh?

He shook his head, giving the same answer he had given to Ah Chao.

"I won't go, I have something to do tonight."

Qin Ning pouted and gave a small hum.

"I thought what you meant by 'something came up' was bringing me back."

"No, I really have something to do."

"When are you coming?" Qin Ning tilted her head, looking innocent and naive. Without warning, she grinned, her lips curving upwards and her eyes subtly drooping, forming a strange and sinister arc.

Bai Weiran was immediately stunned—he felt that this smile had appeared on someone else before.

“I happen to have a friend visiting me. She’s a very good friend of mine, and I’d like to introduce you to her.”

Bai Weiran, of course, was oblivious to the oddity in those words; he simply picked up his phone and glanced at the time.

It's already seven o'clock.

He had to take a taxi home, have dinner, and then go back to the mission world.

"Later! The driver is still waiting for me in the car, I'll go now."

As soon as he turned around, he heard footsteps rushing up behind him and was suddenly hugged from behind.

"Brother Weiran, don't you even know what a goodbye kiss is?" Qin Ning's tone was sweet and soft yet proud.

"Give me a kiss now, this isn't the office!"

Bai Weiran remained silent for a moment, then finally reached out and placed his hand on the back of her hand that was wrapped around her waist, patting it lightly twice.

"Today is not a good day," he replied seriously.

"I didn't expect you to come to the team building today. We had dumplings for lunch, and they were filled with chives, so the flavor was a bit strong."

"Oh, I don't mind."

Bai Weiran chuckled softly and pulled Qin Ning's hands away from her waist. Qin Ning refused to let go, and the two small hands were twisted together tightly. Bai Weiran patiently pried her little fingers apart one by one, without forcibly resisting, but using a gentle, playful method to release her willful confinement.

The tug-of-war between the big hand and the small hand continues—

"I mind, let's give men some face in this kind of thing!"

"...Then you can eat a candy to freshen your breath, hmm? Just eat that...the kind of salt mint you gave me when we visited Rednet, that's the best for freshening breath, isn't it?"

“That makes sense, but I didn’t bring any candy today, which is a pity. Maybe next time!” Bai Weiran successfully freed her small hands from her grasp, smiled to the side, and headed straight for the waiting taxi.

Qin Ning watched his retreating figure as he got into the car.

The red taillights flashed, reflecting in her lightless eyes.

She put her hands in her coat pockets, turned around and walked towards the residential area. The security guard of the upscale community greeted the residents. Qin Ning turned her head and smiled slightly at the security guard. The security guard was stunned for a moment - the smile was sickly and charming, making people feel beautiful but also giving off a chill from the bone.

Qin Ning pushed open the door to her home. Only one light was on in the living room, and it was quiet.

Normally, Mrs. Chen is always busy shuttling between the living room and the kitchen, adding a lively atmosphere to the house. But today, she had something to do at home and left early, leaving the kitchen dimly lit, the stove fire weak, silent, and particularly cold and deserted.

The living room was filled with the gentle scent of cedarwood essential oil, its calming and soothing effect soothing the mind. The chubby parrot sat in its cage, dozing with its eyes closed, unlike its usual chatterbox who greeted everyone with "Welcome!" It was as if an unsuspecting person had just walked into a convenience store and was greeted by the clerk.

Because it was so quiet, even the faintest sounds could be heard clearly.

*Swish—snap!* *Swish—snap!*

Qin Ning changed into slippers and walked through the brightly lit hallway into the living room. She saw Mengmeng sitting at the dining table with a glass jar about 20 centimeters tall in front of her. She was resting her chin on one hand and throwing candies she had taken out of a large package into the jar with the other. The strange sound was the candies falling along the edge of the jar and hitting the other candies inside.

Mengmeng likes to eat candy in jars. The candy in the various colored transparent glass jars makes people feel happy just looking at them.

The fair-skinned, delicate girl paused, clutching the candy, and turned around, letting out a playful laugh.

"Ningning, you're back so late? I heard you went out to play?"

There was no glimmer in her large, red eyes.
