Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Bai Weiran could only retreat quickly and hurriedly close the door.

Even with the door closed, you could still hear the girl's triumphant, silvery laughter coming from inside.

This can't go on.

Bai Weiran was so bothered by her that he even dreamed about her during the one hour of sleep he needed that day.

He dreamt of water droplets rolling off a young girl's body, from her delicate collarbone, down to her rounded chest, where they gathered at the tips—startled, he sprang up from the bed.

Oh no, this is going to lead to disaster.

This app really tests the user's mentality.

"Weiran, what's wrong with you lately?" During lunch break, Guoguo came over with a cup of milk tea, looking at him suspiciously.

Strangely enough, he used to be full of energy and radiant, rushing off to get off work every day. Anyone with eyes could see that he was very happy. But in the last few weeks, he's been like a wilted eggplant, becoming increasingly listless. When it's time to leave, he doesn't want to go, plopping down in his seat as if he wants to stay put.

I've even developed dark circles under my eyes these past few days.

"I am fine."

But Guoguo sensed a slight lack of energy in his voice, which made her even more suspicious. She stirred her thick milk tea, which resembled eight-treasure porridge with four extra toppings, and tried to persuade Bai Weiran.

"Don't be like that. We treat you like a brother. If you have any troubles, just say them. What can't you say?" Guoguo paused for a moment and then suddenly lowered her voice.

"...Could it be that you're thinking of changing jobs and that's why you can't tell me? Which company, Nango or Rednet?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't switch jobs."

Bai Weiran stopped typing and pressed his temples.

How could he tell Guoguo about this problem?

Yesterday, Qin Ning came to bother him again. She lay in bed wrapped in a blanket and refused to get up to attend class properly. She stubbornly insisted that she wasn't wearing anything underneath and that he would be a pervert if he took it off. Qin Ning had used this trick on him several times already. At first, he was hesitant, but later he realized that every time he pulled down the blanket, Qin Ning was fully dressed.

He was careless yesterday.

With a tug on the blanket, a scene of vibrant color unfolded. Qin Ning even pulled him along, causing the two to tumble together. Immediately, the app's alarm sounded in his ear.

[You have had inappropriate contact with the target. Please end this misconduct before the countdown begins, otherwise repatriation will commence and your mission will be terminated. Five, four, three...]

He practically fled from Qin Ning.

He stayed on the ceiling all night, lecturing Qin Ning.

She can never get up to the ceiling.

It's become unclear who imprisoned whom.

Seeing that Bai Weiran hadn't spoken for a long time, Guoguo guessed that he had some unspeakable troubles, so she chatted with him for a few words.

"Speaking of recent news, have you seen it? That earthquake overseas..."

As Bai Weiran listened, his eyes lit up.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Please tell me what's wrong!? (Bonus Chapter)

Qin Ning noticed that Bai Weiran's attitude was gradually changing.

It would normally get angry, or be so frightened by being teased that it would stick to the ceiling.

Now it's like it was at the beginning, the attitude is very gentle, occasionally saying something funny to her, and not overly rejecting her approach, unless she tries to trick her into going into the bathroom.

But there are still some differences.

He became more silent, a thoughtful kind of silence.

And I've also lost weight.

Qin Ning asked him why he had suddenly lost so much weight, and Bai Weiran only said that he was busy with work and hadn't been eating properly lately. He would eat when he was with her, but not much, and seemed to have little appetite.

Qin Ning became worried.

Guoguo was also worried.

"Weiran, what's wrong with you? You suddenly started dieting before, and now you've suddenly started eating like a baby. What the hell are you trying to do? Are you trying to make your waist thinner than mine? Hey, quickly eat this fragrant fried chicken as a sacrifice to summon your cute little belly."

Without saying a word, she handed the fragrant chicken nuggets in the paper bag to Bai Weiran.

Bai Weiran's mouth watered uncontrollably, but he still firmly pushed him away.

"No, I'll just eat this."

Guoguo peeked out.

Chicken breast, boiled egg, a few boiled leaves, a mini apple, and a slice of toast.

This is a diet that even an adult woman like her wouldn't feel full from, a diet designed to starve someone into a model's figure, yet Bai Weiran eats it every day.

"Something's wrong with you? You're already so thin!!!"

Guoguo wasn't just making things up; Bai Weiran already had a very standard figure before.

Bai Weiran calmly asked her a question in return.

"So how do I look now?"

"You're starting to look more and more like a weak, handsome man who could be blown away by a gust of wind," Guoguo scolded him, her tone full of disappointment and frustration.

"If you keep going like this, you won't have the energy to work overtime, understand? In a company like ours where working overtime is a blessing, how can you bear such a blessing if you don't have the physical strength? Elbow, I'm treating you to dinner tonight, it's braised pork knuckle! I'll also tell you some gossip about pork knuckle!"

Bai Weiran flatly refused, "I'm not going."

"Oh, you're getting picky now! Alright then! I'll treat you to rice noodles. How about the authentic small-pot rice noodles from that place downstairs, with extra meat, a spoonful of chili oil, a few drops of vinegar, and a big slurp? Doesn't that sound tempting?"

"...I'm not going."

"Fresh beef hot pot! Bai Weiran, this is my bottom line. Don't say I didn't take care of you!"

"That's fine, but let's wait until next Monday! I need to eat these for a few more days."

Guoguo slowly typed out a question mark.

Bai Weiran ate the tasteless chicken breast, touched his thinner waist and face, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Yandere is a drama queen, so another way to defeat a drama queen is to become one yourself.

He took the initiative to invite Qin Ning out that evening.

"It's not good to stay cooped up in your room all day. Shall I go out for a walk with you?"

Qin Ning was pleasantly surprised that he would say that on his own initiative.

"Where do we go then?"

Did you take her to do cleaning work again?

Bai Weiran, who usually has a plan in mind, took the initiative to ask her for her thoughts this day.

"...Look at you, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Qin Ning thought for a moment and then suggested going to see a movie.

Bai Weiran agreed and even took the initiative to carry her over the city.

The girl felt very happy, looking up at the starry sky. The stars seemed so close, as if she could reach out and pluck them.

They watched a mind-bending logic movie. The story was about a man who was asked to infiltrate a wealthy man's dream with his partner to change his subconscious. However, during the process, accidents happened one after another, and they kept falling into the bottom of the wealthy man's consciousness. The process was full of twists and turns.

Qin Ning was so engrossed in watching that she forgot to eat her popcorn and moved closer to Bai Weiran.

"...I can't guess how it will end, guess what?"

"I think they will..."

By the end, Qin Ning was filled with disbelief, because everything Bai Weiran had said about the plot was correct.

"...How did you know? You've seen the movie, but it's only just been released!"

“There are movies with similar content in the world where our bureau is located,” Bai Weiran said.

It just goes to show that there's nothing new under the sun; the things you can think of, someone else has already thought of long ago.

He smiled and told Qin Ning a famous story.

A writer finished a work late at night and was very proud of it, believing it to be his painstaking and groundbreaking masterpiece. He read the work aloud twice and was very satisfied, so he decided to hand it over to the publisher as soon as it was light.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten all day and was starving. He went out and found an open restaurant. After returning home, he grabbed a piece of bread and ate it, while unfolding the newspaper he had used to wrap his meal to see if there was any interesting news.

The writer was found dead the next day.

The autopsy ruled out homicide; the cause of death was likely death from shock, as the person died with their eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.

The police officers were surprised to find an article on the table that was almost identical to the one published in the old newspaper used to wrap the meals.

"It seems that this coincidence does not only apply to one world, but can also occur in different worlds."

That's how probability works; as long as the probability isn't zero, it's possible.

The movie ended and people gradually left their seats, but the two of them were still whispering to each other.

Qin Ning took his arm, feeling very happy.

"I like it this way. Can we come to the movies often in the future?"

Bai Weiran remained silent in the face of her request.

Qin Ning was unhappy and pouted.

"If you won't come with me, then I'll have to go find Teacher Lin Luo, unless you lock me up for the rest of my life!?"

That's okay.

It's better for Bai Weiran to keep her locked up. She's already figured it out; he definitely won't just abandon her. Locking her up is the same as locking him up too.

They spend every night together, a single man and a single woman, and I'm in a good position; I'll eventually wear him down.

Bai Weiran sighed.

"I can't keep you locked up forever."

“But soon I won’t be able to stop you from going to Lin Luo.”

"If you still remember then, and I have to say two words, I will say—don't go."
