Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

This development was completely unexpected.

But how could he possibly let Yuan Jixi actually deal with the stalker?

He could not laugh or cry.

But seeing Yuan Jixi's serious, soldier-like expression, he was deeply moved and felt a complex mix of emotions—which resulted in a very strange and conflicted expression on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, but—we're ultimately from two different worlds, and I don't want to cause you any trouble!"

Bai Weiran's "People from Two Worlds" truly refers to people from two different worlds.

But Yuan Jixi naturally only thought it was a metaphor.

It was Bai Weiran's distrust of her abilities.

She started to get a little anxious.

“Miss Lan, please believe me. I have received special forces training. For two years, I have maintained the first place in all events among female soldiers. I can also achieve third place in mixed-gender competitions. In terms of various martial arts skills and the use of cold weapons, I believe that no one can surpass me.”

"I just want to protect you!"

Bai Weiran instantly turned into a Qi X face.

I was very touched, but also very embarrassed.

As a straight man, I still have my pride.

"As long as I protect you, you won't need to go through the hard work of doing one-handed push-ups! Miss Lan Wei! That's not something you should be doing!"

...As a straight man, I still have some self-respect.

"Miss Lan Wei, please trust me, okay?"

Yuan Jixi covered his chest with one hand, making a solemn and sacred promise.

"I will definitely protect you."

The handsome male lead's brilliance blinded Bai Weiran.

Before Bai Weiran could answer, his phone vibrated with several notifications.

".........!"

The message Xia Yanle sent him.

[Lanxia: Even if garlic squeezes in, it's still an outsider.jpg]

[Lanxia: Even if garlic squeezes in, it's still an outsider.jpg]

[Lanxia: Even if garlic squeezes in, it's still an outsider.jpg]

…………

I stole his meme and sent him seven sarcastic comments in a row.

Bai Weiran's face flushed, and he couldn't hold it in any longer.

[Lan Xia: Mr. Weiran, do you think I'm garlic now?]

[Lanxia: Or orange?]

Lan Xia: (Rose) (Rose) (Heart) (Heart) (Smile) (Smile)

He was completely flustered—

Xia Yanle clearly had a better way to deal with Mingguang, but she refused.

She's going to use the worst, most awful, and laziest method to set the bomb up for the future.

The purpose was to see him now facing a sudden, unwelcome yandere, struggling to cope and finding himself in a difficult situation.

Bai Weiran really wanted to yell at her in a deafening roar.

Why were you so obsessed with your crappy Gundam back then? Couldn't you have used a little more effort to guide this yandere girl?!

He didn't believe that Xia Yanle had no better way, but she just wanted to have some fun.

Yuan Jixi was unaware of all this. When she called Bai Weiran again, Bai Weiran was no longer in the mood to pay attention. He casually replied with a few words and hurriedly sent Yuan Jixi away.

When Yuan Jixi left and closed the door, he could still see Bai Weiran with a deep frown and a face that was both pale and flushed.

If Yuan Jixi weren't so straightforward, she would have been able to sense that Bai Weiran's anger contained a hint of inexplicable compromise.

I want to be angry, but I can't seem to get angry.

You want to strangle the other person, but you can't do anything about it.

But Yuan Jixi was too straightforward; she couldn't grasp these things.

All she saw was a frail woman, her face pale, red, and bluish from being harassed by a stalker for a long time. She was afraid to even touch anyone while drinking a glass of water, and her hand holding the glass trembled slightly. She was a biochemical research genius who was hiding her secrets and remained untainted by the mud, walking alone on her life's journey. Even her last bit of personal privacy had been invaded. It was obvious that the message was from the stalker.

And she wouldn't even let her help.

Yuan Jixi's innate instinct to protect the vulnerable was fully aroused.

Yuan Jixi leaned against the door, looking up at the bright white lights above the corridor of the research institute.

She made a decision—

Mr. Chen Li, this time you have truly misunderstood Miss Lan's intentions.

Although she felt sorry for Miss Lan Wei, she had to tell Mr. Chen Li Miss Lan's true identity!

Mr. Chen Li is a fair, considerate, and perceptive person.

He was able to forgive and help the research team even when they rudely dismissed him.

Mr. Chen Li, with his background, would surely be willing to help Miss Lan Wei.

She was too clumsy with words to persuade the stubborn Miss Lan Wei to accept her help.

But Mr. Chen Li is different. He knows much more than her and understands human relationships much better.

We can definitely persuade Miss Lan Wei to stop being so stubborn.

She left the research lab door and hurried away.

Chapter Twenty Miss Bai Cries Out for Indecent Assault

Chen Li stood up abruptly from the sofa; this time, he couldn't keep up the act any longer.

"What did you say? Lan Wei is a woman!?"

Yuan Jixi bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, offering a profound apology.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Li. I kept it from you before because I promised Miss Lan that I would keep it a secret."

Chen Li was momentarily stunned and did not immediately think of getting angry at the trembling Yuan Jixi.

But -

woman?

Is Lan Wei a woman?

Lan Wei, just a woman?

A lonely, isolated, and stalked female biochemical genius scientist who lives in constant fear and anxiety.

All of Chen Li's anger, jealousy, and resentment vanished without a trace in an instant.

The moment I learned this secret, I felt a sense of superiority and contempt for [Lan Wei].

He wouldn't hold a grudge against a woman.

Yuan Jixi asked him to help persuade Lan Wei to accept protection.

Chen Li couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, in the end she's just a woman who needs someone to protect her.

Even if she has some talent, throughout history, there has never been a reason for a woman to succeed.

She needs protection, she needs someone to teach her how to do things, she needs someone to help her use her talents correctly—and clearly, she herself, with the simulator, is the chosen one.

He sat down on the sofa.

“…Okay, bring her here!” He lit a cigarette, his tone becoming very gentle.

"No, you must bring her."

"She is an important and brilliant scientist; we cannot allow stalkers to harm her."

"To harm her is to harm the well-being of all mankind."

Yuan Jixi was pleasantly surprised and accepted Chen Li's request.

After she left, Chen Li lit a cigarette and exhaled a hazy white smoke.

According to Yuan Jixi's account, [Lan Wei] is a person who is usually a bit aloof, calm and gentle, but gets excited like a child when talking about biochemistry. He wears glasses and a white lab coat, and has a pair of very beautiful dark eyes.

Yuan Jixi did not know how to use more subjective adjectives to judge people's beauty or ugliness.

The descriptions she relayed to Chen Li were all neutral and objective.

Based on these descriptions, Chen Li imagined a naturally naive and mature female scientist.

He leisurely imagined how he would use "truth-telling" to touch the softest corner of her heart, making her understand that she is ultimately a woman, a woman who needs protection, a woman who cannot accomplish anything without others.

He made her surrender her pride and defenses in front of him, moving her to tears.

But when Bai Weiran came in front of him, their eyes met.

Chen Li slowly typed out a question mark.

...Isn't this a man?

Bai Weiran, who was cleverly tricked out of his predicament by Yuan Jixi, also had a dead look in his eyes.

Holy crap, he should have thought of that sooner—

It's perfectly normal for a man like Chen Li to react this way once he finds out that Lan Wei is a woman.

Yuan Jixi looked guilty, but still tried to explain.

"This is Mr. Chen Li. Miss Lan Wei, you don't know him, but you replaced Mr. Chen Li in the research team. Mr. Chen Li not only has a high level of biochemical research, but he also takes good care of the team members. Even though he left the team, he still silently contributes to the team, doing good deeds without wanting anyone to know."
