Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"It's your fault, it's your fault! You're the highest-paid leading lady in our troupe, who else can we blame but you?"

The sea breeze blew into the room, filling it with a cheerful atmosphere.

This is the midday update, and there will be another one this afternoon. Yanderes, please! (*'▽｀)◇ゞ

Chapter Twenty: The Unexpectedly Shy Yandere Young Lady

There are four large buffet restaurants on board, where hundreds of dishes are laid out in a row during mealtimes. Lobsters, crabs, and oysters are piled up like small mountains, while large chunks of air-freighted ham and slow-roasted beef are placed on shelves. With each slice, the juices and fats simultaneously stimulate one's visual and olfactory senses.

It was more spectacular than any buffet I had ever seen before.

Passengers from different cabin classes flocked in during mealtimes. There were girls picking and choosing to lose weight, as well as middle-aged women who came specifically to get their money's worth, carefully selecting their food and dining in groups.

They launched a group attack with the momentum of square dancing, rushing into the lobster and beef queues and forming long lines.

There was nothing that could be done even if the people behind complained – a buffet is a team sport.

Bai Weiran peered through the gap in the frosted glass, resting his chin on his hand, staring intently at the urban jungle outside, a place where the strong prey on the weak.

First-class passengers naturally receive special treatment.

It has a separate dining area from other cabins, occupying an entire sea view. There is no need to queue for food, and each table has a dedicated server. All dishes can be ordered from outside, as well as other private dishes prepared by the chef.

He was waiting for his main meal and glanced outside in his spare time.

Sitting opposite him, Qin Ning elegantly sipped her iced wine and glanced at Bai Weiran.

"Brother Weiran, this wine is delicious."

"Yes, ice wine is very sweet and suitable for girls, but the alcohol content is not low, so be careful not to drink too much."

Bai Weiran responded verbally, but his gaze remained fixed on the self-service area outside.

Qin Ning couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She simply rested her chin on her hand, adopting a charming and languid posture.

"Brother Weiran is right, my face feels a little hot and I feel a little dizzy, oh—could I be drunk?"

"Drunk? Then let's not go to the casino later, shall we? It's not good to gamble when you're drunk. If you get too carried away, you'll just end up getting ripped off." Bai Weiran replied absentmindedly, still looking out through the glass.

He thought to himself, "This is quite interesting; we can add cruise ships to the seascape on the map."

It serves as a venue for player guild group competitions.

Miss Qin was furious. She slammed her hand on the table, her charming eyes wide with anger.

"...Bai Weiran!"

Bai Weiran turned around in a second, and the waiter who was pushing the cart to deliver the food was also startled. He stopped in his tracks and stood there helplessly.

Past experience tells waiters that if couples are arguing, it's best not to go over, otherwise all the good food will be wasted and end up on their faces.

"What are you looking at?!" Qin Ning asked angrily, her little face puffed out.

Are there any people outside who are prettier than me?

The young lady was intolerant of any imperfections, and her eyes darkened.

"Or... don't tell me you're thinking about your game project again."

"We agreed not to discuss work! You want to be punished, don't you?"

Next time I'll bite your neck, and you won't be allowed to cover it up!

Bai Weiran: …………………

Is the yandere young lady planning to abuse public resources and punish me by disbanding my game project?

That would be terrible!

"No, I was just watching the fun." He replied seriously in a second, composed himself, and dared not let his eyes wander.

"That's how urban bumpkins are; they've never been on a cruise ship, so they want to see everything new and exciting."

He took the opportunity to wave his hand, signaling the waiter to bring the main course, thus easing the tension.

Qin Ning ordered Wagyu beef, while Bai Weiran ordered Boston lobster.

The fresh lobster, grilled with herbs over charcoal, tasted quite good.

It wasn't anything particularly surprising, but Bai Weiran really liked this simple cooking method that emphasized freshness. She ate with a slight upturn in her eyes, and proactively shared a piece with Qin Ning, handing her a fork.

"Qin Ning, this tastes good."

Qin Ning was initially a little angry, but she was certain she had guessed the workaholic's thoughts correctly.

While eating Wagyu beef, he was mentally simulating how to severely punish Bai Weiran. But when he saw the lobster meat being offered to him, his anger quickly vanished. Instead, when he realized that it was the fork Bai Weiran had used, his face inexplicably turned red.

Wei Ran's fork—

Then, after hesitating for a long time, she finally opened her little mouth shyly.

Bai Weiran held up his fork, a smile playing on his lips.

It's true that yandere girls often turn evil and try to steal people's hearts, but once you get to know them, you'll find that they are incredibly pure and devoted in certain aspects.

At home, Qin Ning and Mengmeng would often playfully fight, snatching his water cup and using his chopsticks to compete for the right to indirectly kiss each other—it was all part of their routine. When they fought, they acted like two female hooligans, behaving domineeringly.

Putting aside Mengmeng's fear of men, Qin Ning has actually kissed him several times. She usually seems invincible with her arrogance and seduction skills, but in real life, she still reveals her innocent flaws in various details, suddenly becoming shy like a young girl in unexpected places.

A yandere girl is still a girl at heart.

She's just a girl who's never truly loved anyone except for scumbag boyfriends.

Therefore, she is both greedy and easily satisfied, which is very contradictory.

"Is this lobster meat very fresh?" Bai Weiran asked her.

But Qin Ning couldn't taste anything other than sweetness at this moment.

She covered her mouth with a napkin, savoring each bite as she listened to Bai Weiran speak gently and calmly.

"That's right, how could it not be fresh? The lobster was brought out before cooking, so its reflexes were still alive; its antennae could still move."

He put a piece of lobster meat into his mouth and made a serious annotation.

"I really don't understand what genius invented this ritual of showing people corpses before cooking."

The yandere young lady swallowed the lobster meat with a gulp and remained silent for a few seconds.

She really didn't understand what genius invented this kind of straight-male thinking that likes to sprinkle sweetness and then kill all the romance.

She stabbed the Wagyu beef with her fork, her expression grim.

"Brother Weiran, your punishment is that you must accompany me to the bow of the ship tonight to perform the Titanic stunts."

Bai Weiran: …………?

Four tables away, the shrew with the bob haircut pulled down her sunglasses, glanced curiously at Qin Ning's table, clicked her tongue twice, and whispered to her friend across from her.

"Que'er happy, look, there are such unromantic people in this world."

"God must have used reinforced concrete to create him!"

The freckled girl rolled her eyes and couldn't help but retort.

"Light, come on! Please get one yourself before you criticize other people's boyfriends."

"To have been single for so long as my lifespan is equal to my age at this age is just too absurd—"

"I don't even dare to tell anyone that our troupe's leading lady, a genius dancer, has never had a boyfriend."

The girl with heterochromia put on her sunglasses and objected vehemently.

"You don't understand. It's not that I don't have it, but that I'm waiting, waiting for that..."

"Oh right, right, waiting for your prince charming to appear, right?"

"What's your prince's name, what does he look like, how tall is he, what color is his hair, what color are his eyes, and what kind of personality do you like?" Sparrow asked coolly as she ate her muscat grapes.

"Give me a clear picture of your terms so I can find the right person for you. Don't give me vague ideas; men shouldn't be like that! Be specific and concrete!"

The bad woman with the bob haircut placed her dessert cutlery on the side of the plate.

"Que'erxi, I'm not just spouting nonsense!!" she retorted directly, like a saint upholding her faith.

"I know he's there. Although I can't quite picture what he looks like or what his personality is like, I know he exists. One day, I'll recognize him in a crowd—it'll be soon, it'll be soon!"

The freckled girl tossed a grape into the air and caught it precisely with her mouth. The movement was unrefined, but it was pleasing to the eye because of her graceful posture and her body, which had been trained in dance for a long time.

"Alright, alright, Princess Light, keep waiting for your Prince Charming to kiss you awake. I'm waiting to see!"

"Have you finished eating? If you have, hurry up and leave. If you go too late, all the good dealers will be taken."

As they left, they passed by Bai Weiran and Qin Ning's table. Bai Weiran glanced up and their eyes met those of the heterochromatic eyes behind the sunglasses.

Unaware of what was happening, the two turned their heads away.

The dealer flipped over the cards and expressionlessly collected all the chips on the table, including Qin Ning's.

Qin Ning gave an annoyed "oh," leaned back in her chair, spun around, pouted, picked up her lemonade and drank it. Then she looked at Bai Weiran, who was sitting next to her with a smile, and suddenly became coquettish, snuggling against his shoulder and whispering softly.

"Brother Weiran, aren't you going to play? You really aren't going to play?"

"I'm not playing." Bai Weiran ruffled her hair.

"You can play."
